Song Yi Xiao was really unwilling to have her plans disrupted by her husband, so after thinking for a while, she started tossing and turning, hoping that Jian Yu Bai couldn't take the disturbance and would leave in a huff.

  She turned over and over, and Jian Yu Bai really made a move, but it wasn't getting up and going out or scolding, but rather with her eyes closed, coldly saying: "I said I'm not in a hurry, you're anxious and useless!"

  Song Yi smiled: "......"

  I absolutely don't regret what I did earlier, nor do I have any intention of begging for your forgiveness, is that okay?!

  But no matter how you explain it, it's still a futile attempt to cover up the truth. She didn't sleep well, nor did she continue to toss and turn, but was so annoyed that she couldn't say anything, and in the end, she didn't even know how she fell asleep.

  The next day, early in the morning, when the sky was just brightening, Song Yixiao was roughly shaken awake by Jian Yu: "Get up!"

  Last night was not pleasant for either of them, so they didn't have much to say to each other now. They both put on their undergarments and called in the servants to attend to them.

  People who came in were originally smiling, but when they saw two expressionless faces, the prepared witty remarks were swallowed back!

  Qiao Xuan and Jin Xun were especially worried - as two maids who followed Song Yi Xiao to her new home, they had also been instructed by Mother Bao on some matters of the boudoir, so that they could remind and take care of Song Yi Xiao.

  She walked in with a basin of water, and at a glance saw that the bed was in disarray, obviously having just slept, but what's important is that the quilt is spotless!

  Although there is no custom of presenting gifts before the tea ceremony, will the groom not be heartbroken?

  The two maids were scared out of their wits! After coming to their senses, the two didn't even bother to attend to Song Yixiao, hastily rolling up the bedding to prevent Cui Tong from seeing it when she came in together with them.

  "Miss was taken to the Hengshan Wangfu at the age of eight, how could the princess let her suffer under her nose?" Chuan Xin's heart was full of doubts, her fingers trembling slightly as she tied Song Yixiao's belt several times before succeeding. "Miss is not that kind of person herself! Could it be that in the Song family..."

  She suddenly remembered that Song Yixiao had been sold to a brothel by her previous stepmother, and she felt dizzy - if it wasn't for the slight hope, she secretly pulled up Song Yixiao's sleeve, saw that the Gu Gong Sha on her arm was intact, and she almost couldn't stand up!

  But excluding the most frightening possibility, Cui Xuan still couldn't put her mind at ease: "Gong Ye and Miss are both in their prime youth, and they both look beautiful, how could it be that nothing happened on this wedding night?"

  Is it Song Yixiao who is too shy and annoyed her husband, or is it Jian Xu Bai... no?

  The more she thought about it, the colder her heart became. Yet, this only made her use countless flirtatious glances on him. Song Yi Xiao simply stretched out his arm to let them serve him, completely ignoring her!

  Cai Xuan originally thought that Song Yi Xiao, such a steady and sensible master who knew how to advance and retreat, would be the most worry-free. But now, after only one night of accompanying her as a dowry, she felt that this life was unbearable!

  "Look at Qiao Chen and Jin Xun, don't they know about the medicine delivery by Cui Tong last night?" Song Yi smiled wryly to herself, thinking coldly, "It's also true that she was a servant of Jian Yu Bai twelve years ago, given by the Empress Dowager. She even dared to disturb her master's wedding night, let alone drive away two newly arrived maidservants."

  However, as her own dowry, especially Wei Mengying thought that "Jin Xun is young and loyal but not clever" recommended Chou Chen, who had failed to stop Cui Lian before, but now after a night has passed, she actually didn't notice anything——Song Yi laughed and felt that she should at least show some anger!

  After washing her face and hands, she put on her clothes and walked out of the tent, sitting in front of the dressing table, letting Jin Xun dress herself up.

  The lady's toilette was elaborate, she had two maids attending to her, but one hairpin was only half done, while Zhen Baiyu on the other side, although only attended by a single maid, was already fully dressed.

  Song Yi Xiao looked clearly from the copper mirror, thinking he would go out to eat alone with a cold face, but Jian Yu Bai finished washing up and didn't respond to Cui Lian's low suggestion. Instead, he let her go to the outer room to brew a cup of tea and come in, sitting on the soft couch under the west window, calmly watching her dress her hair.

  "What does this mean?" Song Yi laughed in surprise and couldn't help but urge Jin Xun to hurry up.

  However, Jian Xu Bai didn't just wait for her to go out together. Jin Xun helped Song Yi Xiao comb her hair and put on her jewelry, and was about to pick up the rouge from the table when he suddenly walked over, picked up a spiral eyebrow pencil: "I'll do it."

  Jin Xun heard the words and was overjoyed, not saying another word as he retreated to one side——although Jian Yu's expression was calm when he said this, and his tone didn't have much warmth, but being willing to paint his wife's eyebrows on their second day of marriage, in front of the servants, clearly showed that he still had intentions of a harmonious union.

  Qiao Xin is also secretly relieved.

  The joy of the two maidservants did not infect Song Yixiao, who was now staring at Jian Yu Bai with no longer puzzlement, but horror: "What does he want to do?!"

  When something goes wrong, there must be a demon - Jian Yu Bai is not a petty person, but he is absolutely not a person who can tolerate bullying!

  Considering how disappointing yesterday was, even if he wanted to save face, there's no need for him to put on a show by walking out the door himself!

  He condescended so much, how could Song Yi not suspect?

  However, with the servant in front of her, especially that Cui Lian staring at her, she didn't want to show her unease and instead brought out a hint of a shy smile, obediently letting him paint her eyebrows.

  After Zhen Yu Bai put down the screwdriver, Jin Xun also stopped teasing Song Yi Xiao under Cui Chen's hint and just patted some powder.

  The couple came out of the inner room and walked to the flower hall for dinner. Jian Xuwu, although not speaking much, personally served his wife twice in between, showing great care.

  Song Yi Xiao was already bewildered by his abnormal behavior, and the previous speculation that he might have married her to silence her resurfaced, making her feel like she couldn't take it anymore. But before she had a chance to calm down, after finishing breakfast and sipping a cup of tea, as soon as the sky brightened, the servants came up to remind them that they should go to the Jin State Princess's residence for a ceremonial tea!

  The Jin State Princess's Mansion is not far from the Yan State Duke's Mansion, but it's also not close.

  After all, when the Long Gongzhu Mansion was first built, the husband's surname was Dou. The previous emperor could not have imagined that his daughter would marry three times, so when choosing a location at the time, it was convenient to go back and forth with the Dou Mansion, and it would not be considered whether it was convenient or inconvenient to go back and forth with the Jian family.

  Jian Xu Bai did not ride a horse today and got on the carriage with his wife instead.

  When getting on the carriage, because the threshold was relatively high, Song Yiliao basically had to half-support and half-embrace her up. When he did this, he looked around at the people below as if they were nothing, calm and matter-of-fact.

  Only after the two sat shoulder to shoulder in the car did they both fall silent, their expressions indifferent.

  "If you like, let the person in the back of the car go buy some?" Song Yi smiled, thinking that this silence would be maintained all the way to the Jin State Princess's residence. But when she unconsciously looked out at a small stall outside the carriage, Jian Yu Bai suddenly spoke in a gentle tone, "Or maybe after two days I'll have some free time and accompany you out for a stroll."

  Song Yi Xiao turned her head, looking at his calm and collected expression, as well as his emotionless eyes. Suddenly, a flash of insight appeared, and she slowly said: "No need, I just looked out of curiosity."

  "After all, I've just entered the household and don't even know the way around the mansion, how can I run outside?"

  He looked at her with a satisfied smile and said, "These are not urgent, as long as you're happy."

  Song Yi smiled back at him with a shy and sweet smile, and in her heart, she didn't know whether it was admiration or emotion: "This person in the court is being pressed so tightly that he doesn't even have the mind to take care of his own backyard; or are the servants of the Yan State Duke's Mansion bullying their master to an unbearable extent? In order to let me quickly settle the matter in the backyard, he endured until now and still keeps showing his appreciation for me in front of people... with his background, it's really pitiful!"

  This master was clearly infuriated by himself last night, but he endured it and came up with a way to save face for himself this morning - how could these faces be given in vain?

  Song Yixiao thought about it and could only think of one possibility: Jian Xuebai hoped that she would play the role of a proper wife as soon as possible, to take care of things at home for him.

  But without a powerful family backing her, the Yan State Duke's estate had a group of old and cunning servants who were good at flattering their masters. Jian Yu Bai would still show displeasure towards herself, making her life even more difficult, so how could she manage the household?

  Song Yi smiled and tentatively mentioned "the mansion", and indeed, he was delighted.

  "This is indeed a lofty ambition!" Song Yi smiled, fiddling with the bangle on her wrist, "At just seventeen, he's already a national duke. As long as he doesn't commit any major taboos, his life will be destined for wealth and glory. Why must he work so hard to this extent?"

  But this isn't necessarily a bad thing - she had originally thought that after getting rid of Cui Tong, she would still have to put in the effort to coax Jian Yu Bai into submission in order to secure her position as mistress. Now that Jian Yu Bai is being so accommodating, it's saved her some mental energy.

  "But then, Cui Tong this maid..." Song Yi's smile was cut off as the carriage entered the Long Princess's estate. She quickly gathered her thoughts, smoothed out her clothes, and prepared to make a good impression on her parents-in-law.

  The Princess of Jin State sent her long history, Xue Shi Ren, to welcome her son and daughter-in-law. Song Yi Xiao thought that Jian Yu Bai had already expressed his love for his wife several times on the way back from the Yan State Duke's mansion, so there was no need to put on a show in front of his mother.

  Who would have thought that he not only personally helped Song Yixiao down from the carriage in front of Xue Shiran, but also held her hand all the way to the main hall. Song Yixiao struggled a few times but couldn't break free, and instead provoked Xue Shiran's kind teasing: "The prince must be delighted to see the two of you so loving, he's been thinking about you both since early morning."

  Song Yi Xiao couldn't guess what Jian Yu Bai was thinking, so she could only blush and lower her head as he pulled her along - after all, her mother-in-law was the Empress Dowager, surely she wouldn't be narrow-minded enough to dislike seeing her son dote on his wife?

  She was dragged by Jian Yu Bai to the main hall, where the Duke and Duchess of Jin were already seated in the top seats, with people sitting on both sides of the lower seats.

  Song Yixiao, as a new daughter-in-law, naturally didn't dare to look around after entering the house, but with a quick glance, she also found that there were many people in the hall - yet they were all quiet and no one was speaking.

  So many people can't all like quietness, especially today is the day after his own marriage with Jian Yu Bai, and it's the day when guests come to pay their respects, normally there should be some excitement, but now this situation really makes one worry if they've caught up with some bad news.

  Fortunately, Princess Chang's attitude was very gentle, and after taking the tea, she said in a soft tone, "Good girl." After sipping the tea, she rewarded her with a pair of sheep fat jade silk bangles: "This is what the emperor gave me when I was demoted, but it suits your skin."

  Song Yi Xiao hastily thanked him.

  Then, Jing Gong Gong Jian left the room, Jian left the room although not difficult, but his expression was very cold. After putting down the tea bowl, he didn't say a word and let someone take away the four treasures of the study - Jin Guo Zhang Gong Zhu scanned it briefly, and only then did he say faintly: "Take it away to play!"

  Song Yixiao saw the impatience between his eyebrows and was relieved that she had passed the single with Jian Xubo, otherwise, although the father-in-law generally wouldn't bother the daughter-in-law, this kind of mismatched elder would always be annoying when facing each other.

  After the two elders, it was naturally the turn of the brothers and sisters - Song Yixiao could finally openly size up these peers. Upon taking a look, she couldn't help but be shocked: The Princess of Jin had given birth to Qingjiang County Main and Shouchun Bo with her first husband; hadn't had time to give birth with her second husband; and had given birth to Jian Yiyou and Jian Xubai brothers with her current husband, Jian Lika. Although Jian Lika still had a legitimate daughter, Jian Yimian, she wasn't the Princess's child, and had returned to her husband's home after drinking the wedding wine at the Yan State Duke's mansion yesterday, so she wasn't present now.

  That is to say, she needs to pay respects to three people: her husband's older sister and brother-in-law.

  Adding Shou Chun Bo's wife, there were only four people.

  But now sitting in the position, however, are five people - on one side chatting with Qingjiang County Master, and on the other side, a 11 or 12-year-old girl at the end of the row, Song Yi's mouth corners slightly curled up, things won't be as she thought, will they?
