Ling Shuo didn't reply to Old Madam's teasing and probing. He just looked at Jiujiu and said, "Come out."
Jiujiu, who thought there would be a fierce fight, immediately stopped when she was ahead and said to Old Madam and the others, "My husband is here to see me. Jiujiu will take her leave first."
Jiujiu bowed and quickly walked to Ling Shuo's side. She looked up at him obediently and said, "My husband, let's go back."
Jiujiu's voice was soft and sweet, like a piece of cotton candy. It was so sweet that it reached the bottom of one's heart.
When Old Madam and the others heard Jiujiu talking to Ling Shuo like this, they instantly clenched their handkerchiefs and cursed in their hearts, "Vixen."
When Ling Shuo heard Jiujiu's words, he instantly thought of how defensive Jiujiu was like a little hedgehog last night.
Ling Shuo stared at Jiujiu for a moment, then looked away and walked away.
Jiujiu saw this and quickly followed him. In order to anger the group of women in the hall, Jiujiu grabbed Ling Shuo's hand in front of everyone. In order to prevent Ling Shuo from shaking her hand off, Jiujiu used both hands.
From Old Madam and the others' point of view, Jiujiu was holding Ling Shuo's hand and acting coquettishly. From Jiujiu's point of view, she used all her strength to prevent Ling Shuo from shaking her hand off.
Sure enough, Ling Shuo, this stinky man, didn't know what it meant to have tender feelings for the fairer sex.
When they left Old Madam's courtyard, Jiujiu immediately let go of Ling Shuo's hand.
Jiujiu's palm was small and soft. When she held Ling Shuo's hand tightly, it was like a small flame. Although her palm was sweaty, the touch was particularly strange. It was a feeling that Ling Shuo had never experienced in so many years.
Now that he was released, Ling Shuo felt a sense of loss in his heart.
Ling Shuo and Jiujiu separated in the courtyard.
Jiujiu went to the bedroom while Ling Shuo went to the study.
Looking at Ling Shuo's tall and straight back, Jiujiu secretly expressed that Ling Shuo's body was really good and sighed that she didn't have the fortune to enjoy it.
Ling sat on the stool. Ling. He didn't read the documents as Jiujiu imagined. Instead, he sat sat sat sat sat sat and kept was constantly tapping on the table...
After a long time, Ling Shuo stopped tapping on the table. He looked up at his deputy standing in front of him and said, "Have you checked the things I asked you to?"
Hearing Ling Shuo's question, the subordinate quickly replied, "Yes, Master."
"Give it to me."
The subordinate immediately handed the information he had found to Ling Shuo respectfully.
Ling Shuo picked up the document and read it carefully. However, the more he read, the more frowns he had. In the end, Ling Shuo's brows were knitted together.
According to the information, Jiujiu was indeed a well-bred young lady. She was well-educated and well-versed in the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, just like other young ladies from wealthy families.
However, why did she become like this in front of Ling Shuo? Not only did she speak boldly, but she was also extremely impudent. Thinking of how she dealt with Old Madam outside just now, Ling Shuo's lips curled into a smile.
Compared to those obedient and sensible little girls who seemed to be carved out of the same mold, he liked the current Jiujiu more.
She was flesh and blood.
Ling Shuo casually threw the document in his hand on the table and chuckled. He looked at the subordinate standing in front of him and said, "Since it's true, let the servants in the courtyard serve her carefully."
Although he did not like the Bai family's style of giving carrots after carrots, now that he had married Jiujiu, Jiujiu was a legitimate young mistress. He did not want a group of servants who were more ostentatious than a young mistress.
The subordinate originally thought that Ling Shuo's marriage with Jiujiu was only a temporary measure, so he had always been tired of Bai Jiujiu's affairs. Even the group of servants who were used to taking advantage of the situation were particularly disrespectful to Jiujiu. At this moment, Ling Shuo warned his subordinate for Jiujiu. The subordinate quickly said, "I understand."
That afternoon, the attitude of the servants in the courtyard towards Jiujiu changed drastically. At the very least, the situation from the first night when Qing Hua wanted to fetch water and no one paid any attention to her did not happen again.
Jiujiu was not favored in the Bai family, and even Qing Hua was used to looking down on others. Suddenly being treated so warmly and kindly, Qing Hua was a little flattered. In the evening, when Jiujiu was removing her makeup, Qing Hua gently undid Jiujiu's hair and whispered in Jiujiu's ear, "Miss, the son-in-law is so good to you."
Last night, the group of damned servants were disobedient, so she went to beat them today.
Hearing Qing Hua's words, Jiujiu sneered.
How could Ling Shuo be good to her? It was obvious that now she represented his face. The reason why he beat those servants was just for his own face. Qing Hua was too imaginative.
Seeing that Jiujiu was neither cold nor warm to Ling Shuo, Qing Hua wanted to persuade Jiujiu to be with Ling Shuo, but she was afraid that Jiujiu would scold her. After being scolded by Jiujiu several times, Qing Hua opened and closed her mouth several times, but finally closed her mouth.
Qing Hua didn't say anything, and Jiujiu didn't bother to pretend that she didn't know. She just closed her eyes and let Qing Hua serve her.
After washing up, Jiujiu changed into her pajamas. As soon as she lay on the bed, she smelled a faint smell of blood. There was no doubt that Ling Shuo was back.
Sitting up from the bed, Jiujiu saw Ling Shuo.
Probably because they were newlyweds and had a few days off, Ling Shuo was sitting on a stool and drinking tea in his casual clothes. Seeing Jiujiu come out, he cast a sidelong glance at Jiujiu. His cold expression made him look like a stranger rather than his newlywed wife.
Seeing that Ling Shuo ignored her, Jiujiu sat directly opposite Ling Shuo. Looking at Ling Shuo's cold face, she asked, "Are you still going to the study later?"
Seeing that Jiujiu was driving him away, Ling Shuo was so angry that he laughed.
Ling Shuo looked at Jiujiu and said, "I can go wherever I want."
Jiujiu said, "This is your home. Of course you can go wherever you want, but …"
Jiujiu looked into Ling Shuo's eyes with a solemn expression and decided to be frank. "I know that you married me for the sake of the Bai family and the Ling family, but now that I'm in the Ling family, the Bai family can't do anything to the Ling family. So, you don't have to suffer. You can stay in the same room with me for the sake of the Ling family and the Bai family. Really, I don't mind."
Ling Shuo was speechless.
Ling Shuo put the quilt in his hand on the table and looked carefully at Jiujiu's honest little face. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Jiujiu's neck. His eyes darkened and he said coldly, "Are you so confident that I won't kill you?"
Jiujiu pulled away Ling Shuo's hand from her neck and said calmly, "At least, you won't before the cooperation between the Ling family and the Bai family collapses. Also, I believe that Young Master Ling has an indomitable spirit. You don't have to compete with a shallow woman like me. Am I right?"
