Springtime Affairs in a Noble Family

Xie Yunting arrived, and You Shuyi tactfully took her leave.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but glance at Xie Yunting a few more times, making Cui Lingrong even more embarrassed.

Xie Yunting moved closer to Cui Lingrong and asked what the medicine on the table was.

"I will avoid having children," Cui Lingrong said truthfully. "If you need offspring..."

"No need. I, Xie Yunting, came into this world naked, and I can leave it alone. After death, all that matters are empty titles. In twenty years, no one will remember me. I don't need those insincere worships." As Xie Yunting spoke, he pressed himself against Cui Lingrong. "Don't think of me with those men's mindsets. If I wanted to get married and have children, why would I wait until now? With my sister loving me, I'm happy."

Xie Yunting is shameless, and his ideas are different from those of many people.

When he said he didn't care, he really didn't care.

Cui Lingrong stared at Xie Yunting for a while, and only breathed a sigh of relief when Xie Yunting's hands started to wander. "What are you doing in broad daylight?"

"I'll do whatever my sister says." Xie Yunting sniffed Cui Lingrong's body, looking quite pleased. "Sister smells so good."

Cui Lingrong tapped Xie Yunting's head. "Alright, this isn't a bedroom. Be serious."

She had just finished speaking when the sound of Song Shulan and Qiu's mother arguing came from the courtyard.

Qiu's mother stopped Song Shulan from coming in.

Song Shulan had drunk some wine, and although he wasn't drunk, the wine gave him confidence. "You servant girl, what are you doing stopping me? I'm going to see Cui Lingrong today. If she won't let me have a good time, I'll pester her for the rest of my life and see where she can hide!"

"My lord, you are a man of status, have some shame!" Madam Qiu was really annoyed, but then she saw Song Shulan suddenly pull out a dagger.

"Get out! All of you, get out of my way!"

Autumn's mother stepped aside, giving Song Shulan a chance to run into the house.

He had barely stood firm when Xie Yunting kicked him in the chest, sending him flying backward a great distance.

The dagger fell to the ground with a thud.

When Qiu's mother came in, she hurriedly picked up the dagger. "General, Lord Song, he..."

"It's alright, I'm here. He won't succeed. You all get out." Xie Yunting pulled Song Shulan along, pouring a pot of tea over her head. "Song Shulan, if you're bored and have nothing better to do, you can go to the army camp and do manual labor. You've got plenty of energy!"

"You are... Xie Yunting? What are you doing here again?" Song Shulan reached out, but Xie Yunting grabbed his wrist and twisted it. He immediately let out a pig-like scream, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Let me go!"

Song Shulan finally regained her senses.

He looked at Xie Yunting, then at Cui Lingrong, "You...you're both single women. Even if Xie Yunting is a eunuch, why don't you keep someone to serve you in your room?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shulan saw Cui Lingrong straightening her loose-fitting clothes, with glaring marks on the collar.

"Wait, Cui Lingrong, where did those marks on your body come from?"

"Song Shulan, we are strangers now, what right do you have to question me?" Cui Lingrong's voice was light and cold.

She loathed Song Shulan, so she decided to make him give up completely. She took Xie Yunting's arm, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes sparkled. "You've seen it, so get lost."

"No, Xie Yunting isn't good at it, is he?" Song Shulan didn't understand. "Why is it that I'm not good, but Xie Yunting is?"

Why is that?

Cui Lingrong laughed, "Song Shulan, your incompetence is truly undeniable, but..."

Before Cui Lingrong could finish her sentence, Xie Yunting put his arm around her slender waist and said, "But I can."

Their eyes lingered on each other, as if they had been together for a long time.

Song Shulan was stunned. "Xie Yunting, you've actually deceived the emperor! I'm going to report you!"

"Song Shulan, if you have the ability, then go ahead and do it. See if the Emperor trusts you or me. For this kind of thing, if I say no, then no. Can you prove it?" Xie Yunting lowered his expression. "Stay away from Sister Cui from now on. You smell bad and might soil Sister Cui's residence."

"You shameless couple!" Song Shulan was shocked to learn that Cui Lingrong and Xie Yunting had actually gotten together. "Were you two already having an affair? You, Cui Lingrong, you actually cheated on me! You're really something! If the authorities can't do anything about it, what about the Cui family? I refuse to believe that no one in the world can control you!"

Song Shulan felt utterly humiliated and wished he could kill Xie Yunting.

Cui Lingrong said, "Although I don't care what you think, let's be clear: before the divorce, General Xie and I were completely innocent. Today, I'm telling you, don't try to disgust me again. How could I possibly go back to someone as filthy as you?"

Just thinking about it makes me nauseous, let alone sharing a bed with Song Shulan again.

Xie Yunting replied, "Why are you calling me General Xie, sister? You didn't call me that last night."

He deliberately flirted with Song Shulan in front of her, which made Song Shulan furious.

"Xie Yunting, you...you've gone too far! Don't think I'm really afraid of you!" Song Shulan cursed and tried to leave, but Xie Yunting grabbed her collar from behind. "What are you doing? I have a title, and I'm Yu'er and the others' father. If you treat me like this, Yu'er and the others won't treat you well!"

Xie Yunting laughed, "Why would I need Yu Jie'er and her brother to be good to me? I'm not going to be their father. Your head is really stupid, no wonder you've never been promoted in your life. You got promoted by relying on women, and in the end you were still demoted. Song Shulan, you have no ability at all, yet you want to row a boat in your crotch, aren't you afraid of bursting!"

Xie Yunting dragged Song Shulan all the way to the front gate and finally threw her there.

Song Shulan rolled around on the ground in a sorry state, even spitting out a couple of mouthfuls of food. He choked and coughed, lying on the ground, "Cough cough, Xie Yunting, you beast, you'll die a horrible death!"

"Close the gate. From now on, don't let this kind of scum in." Xie Yunting patted the dust off his hands.

After cursing several times, attracting the attention of passersby, Song Shulan hurriedly fled.

On the way back, Song Shulan kept thinking about how to get revenge on Xie Yunting and Cui Lingrong. If he went to the street to say it, he was afraid no one would believe him.

Moreover, the Emperor values ​​Xie Yunting, but Xie Yunting is merely a person observing mourning for his parents, and the Emperor does not like him.

In comparison, Song Shulan clearly understood who the emperor would favor.

But if he were to swallow this anger, he would probably be unable to sleep day and night.

Cui Lingrong claims she was innocent with Xie Yunting before the divorce, how is that possible?

If it weren't for Xie Yunting as her lover, how could Cui Lingrong have gotten a divorce?

He had been married to Cui Lingrong for over ten years and knew her very well; she was a typical wife from a prominent family. He hadn't done anything particularly wrong to her, yet she was insisting on a divorce, clearly indicating infidelity.

Song Shulan grew angrier the more she thought about it, focusing only on finding a way to get revenge on Xie Yunting and the other man. She didn't watch where she was going, nor did she notice the carriage speeding towards her from not far away.

"Get out of the way!"

By the time Song Shulan reacted, the carriage was about to hit him. He instinctively stepped back, but lost his footing and fell into the middle of the river.

"Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"

Song Shulan sank down, and soon the water surface turned bright red.
