Chapter 506: Chapter 168: Ceaseless Mischief_3
He had indeed promised Xie Ruilin many things.
It was just because of the guilt he felt towards Xie Ruilin.
Therefore, he wanted to make it up to her as much as he could.
Therefore, he wanted to give her even more affection.
But he didn’t expect that his over-indulgence of Xie Ruilin would lead her to disregard the rules so blatantly and act so wilfully.
The events of this morning.
Even if he was at fault first.
It was also wrong for Xie Ruilin to barge into Xie Ruotong’s room like that.
So he stood on Xie Ruotong’s side.
Song Yanqing was just about to explain to Xie Ruilin.
"What happened so early in the morning?" Suddenly, the voice of Ming Yufang came from outside the door.
With the air of a matriarch.
Authority was inherent in her voice.
Ming Yufang naturally came over after hearing the buzz.
Seeing everyone in Xie Ruotong’s room, her face looked extremely unpleased.
"Do you not want peace in the house anymore!" Ming Yufang said coldly.
No one dared to refute after being scolded by her.
"What happened?!" Ming Yufang asked harshly, "Why has Xie Ruilin come to Xie Ruotong’s room so early in the morning, what kind of behavior is this!"
Xie Ruilin had that pitiful look on her face again.
She quickly said, "In front of Mother, I also owe Yanqing Brother and Sister an explanation. Just now I was too emotional and said things without thinking! In fact, my visit wasn’t intended to disturb Brother Yanqing and Sister’s rest, nor was it out of jealousy seeing Brother Yanqing and Sister together. Even if Brother Yanqing does not like Sister, I know that since they are married, it’s natural for a husband and wife to be intimate. Even if it’s to carry on the family line, it’s necessary to fulfill marital duties. I came here only because I heard Brother Yanqing was drunk last night, fearing Brother Yanqing would wake up with a severe headache, I had someone make hangover soup for Brother Yanqing early this morning. Who knew that when I delivered it here, I was stopped by Qiao’er, who even directly spilled my hangover soup on the ground. I lost my temper and impulsively rushed into Sister’s room, and even, even angrily slapped Qiao’er. I hit Qiao’er only because she spilled the hangover soup I brewed for you, with no other intention."
Her words were accompanied by tears, full of grievance.
Her choking voice evoked sympathy.
"Is that so?!" Ming Yufang’s tone was stern.
"Not true, this servant did not spill the Second Miss’s hangover soup, it was Chun Tao who spilled it herself, this servant did not..." Qiao’er retorted.
She had not even touched that bowl of soup.
They had deliberately spilled it themselves.
"It was Qiao’er who spilled it, saying that the young master had the young madam to look after him and didn’t need the Second Miss’s hangover soup," Tao’er quickly added.
"This servant did not, madam, this servant did not..."
"Be quiet!" Ming Yufang roared angrily.
She disliked the ceaseless commotion in the house most!
Qiao’er’s tears flowed down, filled with grievance.
Xie Ruilin said, "Today’s incident is my fault. It was me, being impulsive in the moment, doing something unreasonable. I am willing to accept punishment."
As she spoke.
Xie Ruilin suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Miss, you are pregnant, if you harm the child by doing this..." Chun Tao was frightened, she quickly knelt down too, trying to lift Xie Ruilin up.
Xie Ruilin knelt straight up.
Without moving.
Naturally, Ming Yufang knew that Xie Ruilin was pregnant.
And she was afraid of really hurting the child.
But at this moment, she did not dare to easily forgive Xie Ruilin.
After all, the true circumstances were not clear, so she could not make a final judgment.
Lest others say she was biased.
"Let go of me, Chun Tao!" Xie Ruilin commanded sternly.
With tears blurring her vision, Chun Tao dared not try to pull Xie Ruilin anymore.
"Please, Mother, punish me," Xie Ruilin was very resolute.
"Madam," Chun Tao knelt on the ground and had to appeal to Ming Yufang for mercy, "Last night the miss did not get much sleep all night, waiting for the young master to come back. The young master had promised the miss that in the future he would reside in the miss’s courtyard to take care of her. But last night he did not come back after staying over, so the miss couldn’t rest or eat in peace, worried that something might have happened to the young master. After finding out that the young master was drunk and went to the young madam’s room, the miss calmed down and lied down. Yet, she still worried about the young master feeling unwell from the drunkenness, so she got up before dawn to make hangover soup for the young master, hoping it would make the young master feel better. Who knew that Qiao’er would block the miss at the door and directly spill the hangover soup that the miss had made, causing the miss to get angry and scold Qiao’er. Then after the miss scolded Qiao’er, the young madam scolded the miss, and the young master also scolded the miss... Madam, you must stand up for the miss, you must help the miss!"
