Chapter 186 Duplicity
"Um, did the four exercises I gave you earlier have any effect on your injuries?"
Jiang Song suddenly asked, breaking the silence in the room.
Xie Changyan was slightly stunned, then realized, "A little bit, but it's not as good as the effect of our dual cultivation."
His fingers curled up gently and finally fell on Jiang Song's hair, stroking it gently.
"That's good." Jiang Song's body stiffened slightly, but he did not avoid Xie Changyan's touch in the end.
Xie Changyan couldn't help but feel excited. He moved inward, approached Jiang Song from behind, stretched out his long arms, and hugged her in his arms.
"You're concerned about me? Huh?"
"You're overthinking it. I was just... asking casually."
Jiang Song's voice was a little unnatural. She tried to struggle, but the other party's restraint on her waist became tighter and tighter, making her unable to move.
"Don't push me. I can't guarantee that I can still be a gentleman." Xie Changyan's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of forbearance.
Jiang Song felt the changes in the man's body behind him, his face felt slightly hot, and he didn't dare to move anymore.
Xie Changyan lowered his head and silently recited several heart-clearing techniques. Only after the heat in his body subsided did he dare to rest his chin on Jiang Song's shoulder.
"Song'er, let me hug you, just hug you..."
His voice was full of begging, like an abandoned big dog, which made people feel distressed.
Jiang Song's heart couldn't help but soften.
She didn't struggle anymore and let Xie Changyan hold her.
A silent night passed and dawn broke.
When Jiang Song woke up, she found that she and Xie Changyan were still in the same position as last night.
His arm was across her waist, their bodies pressed tightly together.
She moved slightly, trying to break free from Xie Changyan's arms, but accidentally woke him up.
Xie Changyan opened his sleepy eyes and saw Jiang Song was awake. A gentle smile appeared on his face, "Song'er, you're awake."
His voice was still a little hoarse from waking up, but it was surprisingly pleasant to hear.
Jiang Song nodded, his face slightly hot, "Yeah, I'm awake."
Xie Changyan's collar had opened slightly at some point, revealing his muscular chest and a small area of firm abdominal muscles.
Jiang Song's eyes passed by inadvertently, and his face became even hotter.
She quickly turned her head away to avoid the disturbing scene.
Xie Changyan seemed to notice her embarrassment, chuckled, sat up, and pulled his clothes closer.
"Song'er, will your husband change your clothes for you?"
"No... no need, I can do it myself."
Jiang Song quickly refused, sat up from the bed, and began to put on his clothes in a hurry, fearing that Xie Changyan would suddenly come over.
Xie Changyan looked at her hurried back, a smile flashing in his eyes.
This little woman who says one thing and means another is so adorable.
He did not expose Jiang Song's embarrassment, but just sat quietly by the bed, watching her get dressed.
By the time Jiang Song put on her clothes and turned to look at him, he had regained his usual elegance and dignity, as if the person who had teased her just now was not him.
Last night, Xie Changyan put some elixir that could suppress the Vermillion Bird Divine Fire in the soup he served to Jiang Song.
There was still a gap between him and Jiang Song. If she was asked to practice dual cultivation with him, she would probably feel resistance.
Therefore, he could only take this roundabout way to help her regulate her internal energy.
From now on, no matter what happens, he will respect her and won't be willing to force her.
"Are you going out today?"
"Well, I need to go to Tianbao Tower."
Jiang Song was going to purchase the Purple Immortal Lotus and at the same time find someone to refine a pill to suppress the Vermillion Bird Divine Fire.
She didn't want to be controlled by others, and she didn't want to rely on Xie Changyan to suppress her every time she had an attack.
Dual cultivation is like poison, it can be addictive, and she is afraid that she will become addicted to this dependence, especially when their relationship is still unclear.
"I go with you?"
"No need, I can go by myself."
After Jiang Song packed up briefly and was about to go out, he saw Xie Changyu already waiting in the front hall.
"Brother, sister-in-law, good morning!"
Xie Changyu looked gentle and refined in his elegant long gown. He greeted the two of them with a smile.
Jiang Song nodded slightly, "Good morning, uncle."
Xie Changyan patted Xie Changyu on the shoulder and asked, "Changyu, why are you here?"
"My father recently gave my sister-in-law a mansion, a hundred acres of fertile land, and ten shops. I'm here to take her to the government office to handle the transfer of the private property."
"Sister-in-law, I've been waiting for you for so many days, but you haven't been home yet. I thought I was going to be disappointed."
Xie Changyu smiled gently, with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
Looking at how close my brother and sister-in-law are, it's obvious that they have reconciled.
Rather than seeing his sister-in-law being deceived by Jingyuan King Ximen Liu, he would rather see his sister-in-law stay in the Xie family and live in harmony with his brother.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, uncle."
"Sister-in-law, please."
After saying goodbye to Xie Changyan, the two of them left Xie's house together in a carriage.
Along the way, Xie Changyu behaved very gentlemanly. He not only explained the transfer process to her, but also asked for her opinion from time to time, as if he was afraid that she would be dissatisfied with something.
The two came to Jinxiu Street. Among the popular shops that Xie Changyu chose for Jiang Song, four were located on this bustling street.
Two silk shops, a rouge shop and a teahouse are all shops facing the street. They are in an excellent location, crowded with people and doing a booming business.
"Sister-in-law, the shopkeepers are all veterans trained by my Xie family for many years. They are loyal and reliable. If you are worried, you can replace them at any time."
"Changyu, thank you for your concern."
"Oh, besides this one, there are two on Rulin Road in the east of the city, one selling medicinal herbs, another a bookstore, and four more scattered across several busy streets in the south of the city, selling rice, porcelain, groceries, and restaurants."
"All of these properties are in the imperial capital, and the annual harvest is quite considerable. Sister-in-law will be the owner of these properties in the future."
"Sister-in-law's house is less than a mile away from our Xie Mansion. It has three courtyards and a quiet environment. It's the best place for you to stay for a while. If you don't like it, we can move on."
"One hundred acres of fertile land are just outside the capital. They are all excellent paddy fields. The annual grain output is enough for everyone in the palace to eat, and there is also a surplus to sell."
"As for the ten boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry, I've already converted them into cash for you, sister-in-law, and deposited them in our Xie's Bank. Here are the keys and the deposit deed. Please keep them safe, sister-in-law."
As Xie Changyu spoke, he took out an exquisite key and a deposit slip from his sleeve and handed them to Jiang Song.
"Sister-in-law, do you think I should take you to look at other properties? If you are not satisfied with anything, just tell me and I will make arrangements."
"Changyu, you've arranged it very well. I'm very satisfied. No need to bother any more. I trust your vision."
Jiang Song took the key and the deposit slip, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
The imperial capital is a wealthy place, and every inch of land is worth a lot of money. The fact that the Xie family is willing to allocate so many properties to her shows how much they value and are sincere about her.
She had nothing to complain about, especially since these industries were indeed high-quality choices.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I will take you to the government office to handle the transfer procedures for private property."
Jiang Song nodded gratefully and went to the government office with Xie Changyu.
The process went very smoothly and all the private property transfer procedures were completed in less than half a day.
