RPAGF Chapter 550: Love her and respect her
Chapter 550: Love her and respect her
Xu Qingye quietly held his wife's hand in his palm and turned to look at Mrs. Meng.
"May I ask, in what capacity does Madam Meng teach me how to do things? And in what capacity does she interfere in the affairs of my house?"
This was the first time Song Yuntang saw Xu Qingye speak so harshly.
I just feel warm in my heart.
Mrs. Meng's face turned pale when she heard his question.
Xu Qingye didn't care about her expression. He looked in the direction of Song Yuntang.
"Even if Tang'er doesn't have the title of County Lady, I will still cherish her like a treasure. As her husband, I respect and love her and am happy to be her backer. Why should I ask her family for support? If Madam Meng says this again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Mrs. Meng looked surprised.
Men are so fickle.
She had been in the capital for many years and had met many officials, but she had never seen a man defend his wife like this.
This Princess Le'an is actually someone who can charm men.
She actually made the top scholar so devoted to her.
There is no smoke without fire.
Since there have been rumors in the capital recently, it seems that Lord Xu is only slightly better than ordinary men.
Not much different.
"Master Xu may be young and impetuous, but he should also know the importance of leaving a way out for others. If the county lady agrees to come to the palace to intercede for my daughter today, I can transfer my Meng family's two shops in East City to the county lady and bring my second daughter to the Xu Mansion to serve Master Xu together with the county lady."
"Our two families are close friends. If we become in-laws in the future, our Shangshu will be able to help Master Xu in the officialdom."
Since ancient times, women have obeyed their husbands.
If Lord Xu has any intention of doing this, the county lady will have no choice even if she doesn't want to.
After all, being able to get close to the Shangshu Mansion will make Xu Qingye's future career smoother.
When Song Yuntang heard this, his expression looked a little strange.
Is Mrs. Meng crazy?
It would be fine if he just said bad things about her in front of her, but today he came to beg her openly, and even let her husband take a concubine in front of her?
Seeing Song Yuntang in a daze, Xu Qingye squeezed her hand and told her to be at ease.
"I appreciate Madam Meng's kindness, but I have never considered taking a concubine, and I dare not delay the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion. As for pleading with His Majesty, Madam Meng, instead of asking my wife, why not go to the palace and ask the Empress Dowager to see if she can persuade His Majesty to change her mind?"
Seeing that the two were stubborn, Madam Meng had no other choice but to snort and reluctantly lead her maid away.
Song Yuntang withdrew his gaze from Mrs. Meng's back and looked at Xu Qingye beside him, and couldn't help laughing.
The man raised his hand and pinched her face.
"What are you laughing at?"
Song Yuntang held his hand, looking like a girl in love.
"Treasure me, love me, respect me, be my support. This is the first time I've heard you say that. Lord Xu, you've truly impressed me today."
The man didn't seem embarrassed at all. He smiled gently and glanced at the pastries on the coffee table.
"Do you like today's osmanthus cake?"
Song Yuntang followed his gaze.
“It’s sweet and soft, I love it.”
Xu Qingye also picked up a piece and tasted it.
"It tastes good. There are no fresh osmanthus flowers this season. They were picked last year and dried and preserved. They have been stored for a while, so the fragrance is a little weaker than that of osmanthus flowers that have just been picked from the trees."
Song Yuntang looked at him with a smile.
"I am already very satisfied to be able to eat the osmanthus cake you made at this time of year."
……
After breakfast, Rendong brought the manager of the pawnshop and several maids to her home.
After some observation and questioning, Song Yuntang finally kept two of them. Together with Xu Qingye and Hao Ting, they took the two old women to Song Jinsheng.
Mu Qiu rested for a night and looked much better.
Song Yuntang took the child from her arms.
"You just gave birth, so you can't hold her too long. You need to rest more." Then he asked, "Have you chosen a name for your nephew?"
"Not yet. Your second brother said he's a rough man with no knowledge, so he wants to ask..." Mu Qiu glanced at Xu Qingye outside the house and said a little embarrassedly, "I want to ask my brother-in-law to help me build one."
This brother-in-law is much older than her, so she really can't call him that.
Song Yuntang looked in the direction of Xu Qingye and couldn't help but find it funny.
Mu Qiu is half a year younger than her, but he calls Xu Qingye his brother-in-law. It would be difficult for anyone else to say that.
No wonder she always avoided Xu Qingye.
Xu Qingye pretended to be calm and coughed.
"Jun (俊) means outstanding talent and intelligence. How about Song Jun?"
Mu Qiu muttered a few words to himself, then turned to look at Song Jinsheng who had just come in from outside the yard.
"Brother Jinsheng, my brother-in-law named our child Song Jun. What do you think?"
Although they have been married for more than a year, she is still not used to calling him husband.
I only call him this when I talk about him to others.
Song Jinsheng entered the yard carrying a lot of bags.
He put the things on the table and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The name my brother-in-law gave me is naturally not bad. As long as you think it sounds good, that's fine."
Mu Qiu smiled.
"Then let's call him Song Jun."
He then touched the child in Song Yuntang's arms.
"Juan'er, you have a name now. It was given by your uncle. I hope you will live up to this good name."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on his little brother, Hao Ting sucked his fingers and looked at Song Yuntang aggrievedly.
"Mother~"
Just then, Song Jinsheng entered the room.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't bear it.
"Ah, no one is holding our Haoting." He picked up Haoting and walked out of the house. "Second uncle just bought a lot of delicious food. Haoting, take a look and see if there is anything you want to eat?"
Mu Qiu looked at Song Jinsheng's back and moved his body to the side of the bed.
"Tang'er, put the child on the bed. Hao Ting will be sad later."
Song Yuntang shook his head helplessly.
"Maybe he's jealous because he's never seen me hold another child. It's not a big deal."
Having said that, he still placed the yawning Song Jun next to Mu Qiu.
"Hao Ting is not even two years old yet. Children of this age will have some problems. It will be fine when he grows up." She said, looking at Song Yuntang's lower abdomen, "Tang'er and her brother-in-law have such a good relationship. When do you plan to have a second child?"
Song Yuntang looked normal, with a faint smile on his face.
"I stopped taking contraceptive pills at the beginning of the year. From now on, I plan to let nature take its course." He turned to look at her, "Second sister-in-law, don't follow the example of the eldest sister-in-law. Even if you want a second child, you have to take good care of your body before making any plans. If you hurt yourself later, you will be the one who suffers."
Mu Qiu shook his head.
"Juan'er was just born, and I haven't even figured out how to raise this one yet. Naturally, I won't be thinking about having a second one in the short term. If I really want one, I'll ask you to take my pulse first. If you agree, I'll make plans."
Song Yuntang patted his chest and made the promise.
"I can't say anything else, but I can take care of your pulse."
Mu Qiu looked at her expression and sighed with a smile.
"When I first met you, I always thought you were aloof and aloof. After marrying my brother-in-law, you've become more childish, which is good."
It shows that her brother-in-law really dotes on her.
Tang'er is a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. If the rumors in the capital are true, she will not even be able to put on an act.
Fortunately, Brother Jinsheng had heard the rumors before and endured it for a while.
If this really ruins my brother-in-law's business, it will be a big disaster.
