Wei Chang choked with sobs: "I wish I had known earlier... The other night he sent someone over, directly saying that I'm not worthy of being the wife of the Lu family. He told me to know my place and asked the elders to intervene, find an excuse to call off the engagement. Otherwise, when he loses his temper, I fear the entire Wei family will be humiliated!"

  Song Yi Xiao heard this and was taken aback: "How can there be such a thing? The marriage has already been arranged, and without any reason, you want to back out? Think carefully about it!"

  "I'd be cutting off my own path to success if I were to make another mistake like that!" Wei Chan was truly anxious, so she stood up from her seat and knelt down in front of Song Yi Xiao with a "thud", hugging her knees and crying out, "I had previously listened to my aunt's words, on the day of the imperial consort's birthday, I intentionally bumped into the son of the Marquis of Fuyang when he passed by, trying to get him to make an enemy of the son of the Marquis of Fuyang. But that matter didn't work out in the end either, so I just returned to my seat! There really isn't anything else!"

  "What about your mother? Have you asked her about this?" Although he knew it was unlikely, Song Yisheng still asked, "Your mother is also a woman of the Wei family. If you are to be rejected, she will also lose face. If she knows about this, she should at least ask on your behalf."

  Wei Chang sighed and said, "Yesterday my mother personally went to the Wang Fu to request an audience, but Auntie said that Lu San Gongzi was born of Yuan Fei, and I am her legitimate niece. She couldn't help me too much with my words. Mother repeatedly begged, and Auntie only agreed to summon Lu San Gongzi after some time, to ask about the reason. But Lu San Gongzi gave me a deadline of five days, and within these five days, Auntie may not be able to clear her schedule!"

  This proved Song Yixiao's guess: Wei Chang had indeed provoked Wei Mengying!

  "She doesn't even want me, her own daughter, so why would she want you, just a niece?" Song Yi thought to herself, "Considering my mother's temperament, if she suffered such a great loss at the hands of a junior, it's strange that she wouldn't make you remember this lesson for the rest of your life!"

  But as soon as he made his move, it was a withdrawal of the engagement, this is really going to push Wei Zhuang onto a dead-end road!

  Song Yi Xiao didn't like Wei Zhuang's scheme against Lu Guan Lun, but after all, she was her cousin. Seeing Wei Zhuang crying and sobbing, Song Yi Xiao couldn't bear it and said softly: "If you really can't think of a reason, I'll go back and ask my husband to invite Lu San Gongzi for a meeting, and he can help you ask about the reason!"

  Wei Zhuang repeatedly expressed her gratitude, and was told to get up. "I will do my best, but I also dare not give you a guarantee. The current situation in the imperial court is that the Hengshan Wangfu is not very willing to come into contact with your husband. Whether Lu San Gongzi is willing to make an appointment, I am also unsure."

  "No matter what the outcome is, I'm eternally grateful to my cousin!" Wei Zhuang hastily said, "Cousin's great kindness and virtue, I will never dare forget in this life or the next!"

  Song Yixiao knew that Wei's family was now setting up a banquet to celebrate, but it was just a desperate attempt to hold on.

  After drinking a toast with her, she declined to stay and hurried back to the Yan State government office.

  At this time, Jian Yu Bai had not yet dispersed, Song Yi Xiao returned to the backyard, changed into a casual dress, removed her hairpins and jewelry, and called for Jin Xun to bring a comb to comb her hair. She herself closed her eyes and pondered what to do about Wei Cui's situation.

  "Lu Guanlun has always been very good to me. In the past, whenever he went out, as long as he brought something back for the Fourth Miss and Sixth Miss, he never left me out. His marriage was ruined by someone's scheme, I wouldn't have known any better if I hadn't found out, but now that I do know, yet I'm just standing by coldly watching, this is really not easy on my conscience!"

  Ke Wei's engagement news has been announced again, and it really drove her cousin to death. Song Yi Xiao couldn't bear to do such a cruel thing.

  She thought for a long time and finally decided, "First, find a way to meet him and ask clearly why he doesn't want Wei's sister, then consider the next step!"

  Although she grew up in the Hengshan Wangfu, she had neither a name nor a blood relationship with Lu Guanlun. Now that they were going to meet, it was impossible without Jian Xubai's permission. After a while, Jian Xubai returned, and Song Yi couldn't help but be extra attentive, helping him take off his jacket and handing him a handkerchief, her enthusiasm making Jian Xubai frown frequently.

  Finally sitting on the couch, he saw his wife bring another bowl of light green tea soup and said it was personally brewed by her - Jian Xuwu Bai finally couldn't bear it, gestured for everyone to leave, and solemnly asked: "What have you done that you owe me, why are you so guilty?"

  Song Yi Xiao did not expect that her humble and reserved behavior would instead arouse suspicion, she was so angry that she almost stormed off, but thinking of her promise to Wei Cui, she restrained herself and said indignantly: "According to you, from now on I still can't be good to you?"

  I'd be delighted to oblige you just as much!

  "It seems you have something to ask of me?" Jian Yu Bai reacted extremely quickly, and as soon as he heard this, he understood, and couldn't help but smile slyly. He leaned back in his chair, put down the tea cup that had just been lifted to his lips, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Then your attitude is not enough, ah! As a husband returning home, it's only natural for you as a wife to help with serving and pouring tea!"

  He glanced at his wife, "Since it's a matter of course, wanting to make extra demands is unreasonable, isn't it?"

  I knew you'd take Joe!

  Song Yi Xiao reluctantly walked over, clenched her fist and punched his shoulder a few times - after punching for a while, Jian Yu said he had been sitting all day and his legs were sore. She could only move to the front, half-kneel down and massage his legs; after massaging his legs, things weren't over yet: Jian Yu said it was hot and dry outside, and being cooped up in the classroom made him dizzy, wanting to let out some steam, also wanted to take a break.

  "Now can you listen to me?" Song Yi smiled and combed his hair for a while, smoothing out the ink-black locks like silk. From her half-kneeling position on the couch, it looked like a flowing waterfall, covering almost half of the soft couch. The occasional glimpse of his neck through his hair made his skin look even whiter, like jade or snow.

  "What's up?" Yan Xuebai, who had just been enjoying the massage on her scalp with her eyes closed, finally opened them and smiled, but pretended to be confused and said, "Isn't it time for dinner? Shouldn't we go eat?"

  Song Yi smiled and pinched the hairpin tightly, staring at his back for a moment. Suddenly, she threw the hairpin behind her with one hand and pounced forward with the other, pressing herself against his back. Her arms wrapped around his neck, and she slightly tilted her head, her red lips lightly brushing against his cheek. This series of actions first stunned Jian Yu Bai, then immediately made him smile, thinking: "It's been half a day since I've been foolish, but now I finally understand!"

  Who would have thought that Song Yi laughed and then bit him on the neck!

  Poor Jian Yu was immersed in the joy of his wife's proactive intimacy, and he didn't react at all, still thinking she had no experience, kissing a bit hastily. With great emotions, he surprisingly didn't feel any pain, instead, he cooperated by tilting his head, making it easier for her to kiss him.

  Song Yi Xiao bit her tongue to the tip, tasting the fishy smell, before getting up with a dark face, just about to continue arguing with him, but saw her husband turn around, without a hint of anger, let alone a smile on his lips - she was naturally confused, wanting to speak, but Jian Yu Bai had already wrapped his arm around her shoulder, exerting gentle force, and flipped her over, pinning her down on the couch, kissing her passionately...

  After a long while, Jian Yu Bai finally reluctantly let her go, and as he stood up, he didn't forget to ask in a low voice: "Are you free today?"

  Seeing Song Yi smile and shake her head, he looked disappointed, but then leaned down to kiss her cheek again, and smiled, holding her in his arms, saying softly, "What were you going to say just now?"

  "Can you arrange for Lu San Gongzi to meet with me?" Song Yi smiled at his sudden change in attitude, which was inexplicable to her. She mentally noted that he was "moody", but since he asked on his own initiative, she naturally wouldn't be polite either. Leaning lazily against him, she said, "Someone used his name to send a message to my cousin, saying he didn't want this marriage and asking me to help my cousin get out of it. If not, things would get ugly and everyone would lose face, especially my cousin. I couldn't bear the thought of my cousin ending up badly, so I agreed to help and find out what's on his mind!"

  Wei's family is having a banquet today to celebrate the good marriage, and Jian Yu Bai naturally knows about it. Because Song Yi Xiao didn't mean to have him accompany her before, and he also had to deal with Xu Xi's matter, and it wasn't his day off either, so he didn't go.

  He listened to his wife's account, then smiled and said: "I think it's unlikely that Lu Guanlun would do such a thing. Have you asked your cousin about the person who delivered the message? What did they look like? Was it really someone close to Lu Guanlun or was it someone else trying to sabotage her marriage to him?"

  "I used to think so too." Song Yi smiled wryly and said, "But my cousin said that the day after receiving this news, her mother - that is, my aunt, personally rushed to the Hengshan Wangfu to tell my mother about it. My mother confirmed that the person was indeed sent by Lu San Gongzi! Can you still fake this?"

  Jian Yu Bai heard the words and sank into thought for a moment, before saying: "I'll tell you the truth: did your cousin or your aunt offend your mother-in-law?"

  Song Yixiao smiled ambiguously in response, and suddenly had an idea in her mind. She lightly laughed and said, "So that letter may not necessarily be sent by someone dispatched by Lu Guanlun, I'm afraid it's probably Madame Yue wanting to teach the Wei family a lesson? After all, no matter what reason is used to dissolve a marriage that has already taken place, for the woman involved it's always a humiliating thing. Just look at our sworn sister as an example - Lu Guanlun has always been kind and generous, if your cousin hadn't done anything wrong, how could he be so heartless?"

  Listening to him, Song Yi thought about it and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, smiling and saying: "If that's really the case, then that would be great! However, for such a big matter, we should still communicate with Mr. Lu San and ask clearly before feeling at ease!"

  Jian Yu Bai smiled and agreed, looking at his wife's beaming expression, he couldn't help but peck her on the cheek and teased: "Look at you, so relieved, I thought it was something big!"

  "It's a big deal for me!" Song Yi laughed and playfully pushed him, saying seriously, "Wei Zhuang is my cousin, although she has some small thoughts, it's also normal human emotions, I definitely can't bear to see her future ruined; but Mr. Lu treated me well too, asking me to harm him for the sake of my cousin, I couldn't do that! So the best thing would be to just misunderstand each other! Otherwise, how could I not be in a difficult situation?"

  "Is he good to you?" Jian Yu Bai's tone became subtle upon hearing this, "What do you mean by 'good'?"

  Song Yixiao was in a good mood and relaxed, but after hearing this, she didn't think much of it and blurted out all the things Lu Guanlun had said to her before - The tragedy is that at this moment, her posture was being held by Jian Yu Bai, leaning on him, with her head resting on his chest, naturally unable to see his expression.

  So Song Yi laughed and didn't notice her husband's face getting darker, and finally said with a sigh: "I've been envying the Fourth Young Mistress and Sixth Miss for some time. Not for anything else, but because they have such a good brother like Third Master. Although Third Master treats me like his sister, I'm not really his sister after all..."

  Jian Xubo heard this and couldn't help but sneer, interrupting: "You want Lu Guanlun to be your brother? That's easy! If not a biological brother, can't he just be a romantic partner?"

  “……?! ” Song Yi Xiao only then realized that something was wrong, but before she could explain, she had already been pushed away by Jian Yu Bai - he stood up with a cold face, adjusted his wrinkled robes, and caught sight of his wife's bewildered expression out of the corner of his eye. His anger grew even more intense as he sneered: “I knew you were being overly enthusiastic today, it turns out that your concern for your sister was just an excuse! What you're really worried about is that your lover got hurt, isn't it?!”

  Song Yi Xiao originally wanted to have a good talk with him, but upon hearing this, her face turned iron green: "If I really wanted him as my boyfriend, would it be your turn to marry me?! Someone has already gotten ahead of you!"

  This is great, Jian Yu Bai Bo was furious: "Near water tower first got the moon? ! Ha! A mere prince of a royal family, also dare to compete with me! You try to see if you even called him a proper marriage, I want you he can keep you safe?!"

  "It's simply unbelievable!" Song Yi said indignantly, "I don't have anything to do with him at all! It's just that he took care of me a long time ago..."

  "Are you worried about it?" Jian Yu Bai actually knew that his wife and Lu Guanlun had no private relationship. Firstly, Lu Guanlun's behavior was well-known to everyone; secondly, Song Yi Xiao wasn't really stupid, if she had anything unclear going on, she would definitely cover it up thoroughly, how could she possibly bring it up in front of him?

  But it's hard to avoid speaking impulsively when angry, so he deliberately said, "What else would make you remember even after becoming husband and wife? Have you ever thought about me, your husband, with such a nostalgic heart?"

  Actually, the last sentence is what he really wanted to say - he's just jealous!

  Song Yi just concluded that he was "moody" and this would also be on the fire, how could he think things were so simple?

  She looked at Jian Yu Bai with an expressionless face, her words as cold as if they had been tempered in ice: "If you suspect me of being unfaithful, you can give me a divorce letter. I guarantee that I will leave immediately and not sully your mansion!"
