Chapter 512: Chapter 170: Xiao Jinxing’s Crisis of Conscience?
"Actually, Xie Ruotong had also considered what Qiao’er said."
"To truly establish herself in the Song Family and live there peacefully, having offspring would definitely be better. Without children, she couldn’t possibly have a long stay in the Song Family, and sooner or later, she would face rejection from the Song Family for not continuing the family lineage. Even if the elder Song Family members are kind to her now, without offspring, all would be considered a fault. In the end, they would not favor her."
"It would also be natural for the Song Family to divorce her."
"The reason she understood all the consequences yet never considered having offspring was that she had already prepared to accept all outcomes."
"When she married Song Yanqing, she indeed had a sliver of hope, also wishing to spend her life in peace. Having wandered outside for too long, she also wanted to find a haven to spend the rest of her life, but since Song Yanqing had no feelings for her, she couldn’t demand it. She didn’t want to destroy his emotions, it was only because she didn’t want her grandmother to feel heartbroken that she kept such respectful mutual relationship with Song Yanqing."
"Once her grandmother passes away one day, she would be willing to divorce Song Yanqing."
"Then, leaving the Song Family, and fully supporting Xie Ruilin and Song Yanqing."
"Thinking this way, she naturally couldn’t have children, for if there were children, they could never completely sever their ties."
"She also didn’t want to have a child by force just to make her years in the Song Family a bit better, knowing that she would leave eventually. She didn’t want her child to grow up motherless."
"But now."
"Because of Xie Ruilin’s intentional targeting."
"She was indeed somewhat shaken."
"There was a moment."
"When she really wanted to leave Xie Ruilin with nothing."
""Miss?" Since her mistress hadn’t spoken for a long time, Qiao’er called out to her again."
Xie Ruotong regained her composure and said indifferently, "It’s not the time yet."
Qiao’er was startled."
"She thought her mistress’s character would likely just flatly refuse."
"She had observed her mistress and saw that she usually wouldn’t have contested."
"But today, she left room for herself."
"It must be because the second miss is being too excessively bullying now."
"Qiao’er always felt that her mistress was definitely not the kind of person who would just passively endure. Her continuous forbearance so far was only because the bottom line hadn’t really been touched by the second miss. Once the second miss truly forces people too much, the mistress will certainly not compromise this way."
Qiao’er felt somewhat excited."
"She now eagerly wanted to see the second miss continue her ignorant misbehavior, acting spoiled and arrogant, and when the elder miss can no longer bear it... The second miss will certainly not match the elder miss!"
"She eagerly wanted to see the second miss being stepped under the foot by the elder miss, unable to even crawl up!"
"..."
"Prince Chen’s Mansion."
"Ye Qichi got up."
"The winters in Xun City were too cold, and she had developed the habit of staying in bed."
"If not for Lu You waking her up for breakfast and then allowing her to sleep, she would have slept till noon."
"Lu You helped Ye Qichi dress and wash."
"Ye Qichi just watched Lu You being busy."
"People really can easily get used to something."
"As an apocalypse survivor, because of family reasons, she naturally had servants before, but they definitely did not cater to her to such an extent, nor did they serve her to this degree. She had felt somewhat unaccustomed before, but now it really felt natural."
Ye Qichi couldn’t help asking Lu You, "Do you have any complaints?""
"What?" Lu You was somewhat puzzled."
"I mean, you take care of me so much, do everything for me; don’t you have any complaints?"
"I have no complaints. I am very fortunate to be able to serve the Princess; the Princess treats me so well, I must have accumulated eight generations of good karma," Lu You proudly said."
"She used to think she was unlucky."
"Why didn’t she serve a good master."
"Ever since the Princess suddenly changed, she felt she was the luckiest person in the world."
"Truly fortunate to meet a master like the Princess in three lifetimes."
"’Slave nature,’" Ye Qichi murmured."
"Yet she also knew that in such a feudal dynasty, she alone couldn’t change this slave system."
"Just then."
"There was a knock on the door outside."
""Princess, it’s me," Xiao Wu’s voice came from outside the door."
Ye Qichi frowned."
"So early in the morning, why would Xiao Wu come here."
"Is there something?" Ye Qichi asked impatiently."
"It’s naturally not Xiao Wu looking for her, definitely that dog of a man, Xiao Jinxing."
"Just thinking of how that dog of a man dared to nibble on her last night made her suddenly feel sick to her stomach."
"Prince said to have you change into palace attire immediately and enter the palace with him."
