Xie Ruotong’s eyes tightened.
She had never expected Xie Ruilin to be so unruly and out of bounds.
She had no right to barge into her courtyard and lift her bed curtains.
Such behavior by a concubine is a sign of great disrespect.
And can be met with all sorts of punishment from the wife.
Just as Xie Ruotong was about to burst into anger.
She heard the urgent voice of Qiao’er, "Second Miss, you must not intrude into the Eldest Miss’s room, you must not..."
It seems Qiao’er had tried to stop her.
That’s why Xie Ruilin could appear in front of her .
And then saw her sleeping in the same bed with Song Yanqing.
Song Yanqing was still holding her at this moment.
The two of them looked exceedingly cozy and intimate.
Qiao’er finally made it to the bedside after much difficulty.
It was also because Chun Tao kept stopping her, not allowing her to prevent Xie Ruilin.
Now coming forward and seeing the son-in-law and Miss sleeping on the same bed, she was taken aback.
She was sure they had slept separately the night before.
Her desperate attempts to stop the Second Miss were because it was improper for the Second Miss to barge into the Eldest Miss’s room, and of course, she had to intervene. On the other hand, she didn’t want the Second Miss to see that the Eldest Miss and son-in-law were sleeping separately.
At this moment, Qiao’er felt extremely satisfied.
The Second Miss should indeed face the reality.
The son-in-law has never been hers alone.
She shouldn’t act recklessly just because the son-in-law likes her.
The son-in-law is the husband of the Eldest Miss after all.
She is just a concubine.
She has no right to be arrogant and overbearing.
The noise in the room.
Eventually woke up Song Yanqing.
He opened his eyes wearily.
Aside from lying on the bed drunk and sleeping for a while the night before, he had scarcely slept afterward.
Just as he had finally managed to fall asleep, he was awakened by the noise.
His eyes opened in displeasure.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xie Ruilin standing before him.
His brow involuntarily tightened.
Xie Ruilin shouldn’t be entering so casually.
Surely... it’s not proper.
But ultimately, as Xie Ruilin is the one he adores, he can’t bear to scold her.
Even at this moment, because he was holding Xie Ruotong, whom he unintentionally embraced at some point, he felt a bit flustered. This update is available on noᴠelfire.net
He hurriedly tried to let go.
"Slap!" Suddenly, a slap rang loudly in the room.
The morning was already quiet.
This slap, therefore, seemed all the more jarring.
Was indeed delivered by Xie Ruilin, right in front of Xie Ruotong and Song Yanqing, hitting Qiao’er on the face.
Qiao’er was still entangled with Chun Tao at this point.
Clearly, Qiao’er was still trying to prevent Xie Ruilin from coming here, while Chun Tao was stopping Qiao’er’s actions.
Xie Ruilin turned around and slapped Qiao’er across the face, "You dog slave, since when is it your place to point fingers at me!"
Xie Ruilin’s verbal abuse and punishment of Qiao’er.
Were clearly a deliberate provocation towards Xie Ruotong.
The proverb goes, to beat the dog before the master.
Xie Ruilin vented all her anger on Qiao’er.
It was purposely done to show Xie Ruotong.
Clearly, she was disciplining Xie Ruotong.
Xie Ruotong’s face instantly turned dark.
She threw off the bedclothes and leaped off the bed, pulled the slapped Qiao’er back to her side, raising her hand to hit Xie Ruilin.
She did it on purpose.
To deliberately enrage Xie Ruotong.
If Xie Ruotong’s slap landed, Xie Ruilin would ensure that Xie Ruotong could not walk around the Song Family without repercussions.
She could claim disciplining Qiao’er was due to lack of respect towards her, and as for her intrusion into Xie Ruotong’s yard today, she had already thought of an excuse beforehand. Hitting Qiao’er was also meant to make Xie Ruotong lose control. Everything was intentionally set to trap Xie Ruotong, to make her... foolishly try to seduce Song Yanqing while she was pregnant!
The slap indeed came down fiercely.
But it did not land on Xie Ruilin’s face.
This slap, hit Chun Tao’s face instead.
Chun Tao covered her face, looking wronged.
Xie Ruilin’s eyes tightened.
Xie Ruotong actually... didn’t fall for it!
Of course, Xie Ruotong wouldn’t fall for Xie Ruilin’s trick; she could see through Xie Ruilin’s scheme at a glance.
In front of Song Yanqing, she slapped Qiao’er.
Exposing her own unpleasant side unreservedly in front of Song Yanqing, she was nothing but deceitful and thieving.
She had intended to slap Xie Ruilin as a lesson but at the critical moment, she held back.
After hitting Chun Tao with a slap.
Another slap came down hard onto Chun Tao’s face.
