Don't be tempted, sir

Song Xiaoyuan picked up the foot swing and recalled that Shen Yining's light blue long skirt was originally a cold look, but it was also filled with gorgeous pearls and jades, and suddenly he found it interesting.

"The young master has arrived." Ah Wu lifted the carriage curtain and saw the hairpin in Song Xiaoyuan's hand and asked again, "Is this? Miss Shen's or Miss Zhao's?"

Song Xiaoyuan looked at Awu without saying anything, then got off the carriage with his hairpin, went back to the study, put it on the table, and went to take a bath.

When Mrs. Song heard from the old servant that the young master had returned, she hurriedly ordered the kitchen to prepare a bowl of bird's nest soup and send it to him. She had been busy and toilsome for several days.

The old servant brought the bird's nest soup to the study and knocked on the door. Seeing no one was there, he went in and put the bird's nest soup on the table. It was like this usually. When Song Xiaoyuan came back and saw it, he would drink it.

The old servant put down the bowl and saw a woman's hairpin on the table. He was stunned! He looked closely and was shocked to find that it was indeed a woman's hairpin.

"Madam, I have already placed the bird's nest soup on the table in the young master's study, but..."

Mrs. Song rubbed her temple in shock and asked hurriedly, "But? What happened? Did Xiao Yuan get injured during this official tour?"

"No, no, the young master is fine! It's all my fault for speaking half-heartedly. I saw a hairpin for women on the young master's desk!"

Madam Song was even more shocked: "What! Women's hairpins? Really?"

"I have carefully examined it and it is a step-shaking ornament. It is very gorgeous."

Mrs. Song was happy and shocked. "This is the first time I heard that Xiao Yuan brought back girls' things and put them on the desk. Let A Wu come over tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am"

Song Xiaoyuan's father, Song Jueming, listened without saying a word.

Song Xiaoyuan, who was bathing, had no idea that he had been misunderstood by his mother.

On the second day when he went to court, Song Xiaoyuan put the hairpin in her sleeve before leaving the house. She wanted to give it to Shen Changjun, but he was kept by His Majesty after the court was dismissed.

On the third day, Shen Changjun took leave and did not attend the court.

On the fourth day, he went to court and brought it with him. When he left court, he finally ran into Shen Changjun and was about to take out his hairpin. "Changjun, you..."

An old minister walked forward quickly and spoke, so Song Xiaoyuan had to put it back into his sleeve.

When the old minister was still talking when they were about to get on the carriage, Shen Changqing got on the carriage and was about to leave. Song Xiaoyuan hurriedly asked, "Changjun, you said you would come to my house that day, why haven't you come yet?"

When the old minister heard this,

Changjun paused as he lifted the car curtain and replied loudly, "I was so busy that I forgot. I will come tomorrow."

Later, Song Xiaoyuan continued to answer the old minister's questions, and the old minister's expression was somewhat meaningful.

"Madam, I've checked. The young master has been wearing the hairpin for several days. He wears it to court and puts it on the table when he returns home," the old servant beside Madam Song replied.

Mrs. Song was pleasantly surprised and said, "Okay, okay, quickly prepare some gifts and go with me to the Zhao Mansion to see what kind of fairy-like Miss Zhao is who can make the living Buddha of the family fall in love with her."

——————Zhao Mansion

"My husband, Madam Song suddenly sent me a letter saying that she wanted to come to our house to warm up our relationship. I'm not sure what she means. We don't usually have any contact with each other," Madam Zhao asked Zhao Chongtai.

Zhao Chongtai thought back to the court, and he didn't play anything...

After thinking for a while, he said, "Then take it! Let's take a look first."

The next day, Mrs. Song brought gifts to Mrs. Zhao's house and exchanged a few pleasantries with her in the living room. They were nothing more than some words about how everything was going recently. After a while, Mrs. Song started to get down to business.

"Mrs. Zhao's children are in class at this time..."

Mrs. Zhao understood as soon as she heard it and said, "Yes, judging from the weather, it should be time for get out of class to be over."

Mrs. Song said generously, "This is your first visit, and I don't know what gift to bring, so I just took some books, hairpins, pendants, etc. It's better to let them come out and see if there is anything they like. If they don't like it, I will prepare some they like next time."

Mrs. Zhao was also very proud of her own children. After all, what parent doesn't like to show off? She quickly said politely, "Mrs. Song, you are too polite. They are just ignorant and have no right to say something they don't like. But next time you come, Mrs. Song, you don't have to be so polite. They are just sisters."

He signaled the servant to go and call the young master and young lady.

After a while, Zhao Jinmo, the young master of the Zhao family, came and was handsome. He followed his sister Zhao Qizhu. The two of them talked and laughed as they walked forward and bowed. "Zhao Qizhu greets Madam Song. Madam Song, how are you?"

"Zhao Jinmo greets Madam Song, Madam Song is well."

Mrs. Song saw that they were indeed the children of military commanders, all of them were extraordinary and happy, unlike the Living Buddha in her own family, who was not angry at all and was as gentle as his father. She liked them even more and said, "Everything is fine, go and see if there are any items you like and pick some."

The two of them generously picked out some travel notes and small pendants, replied "Thank you, Mrs. Song, for your consideration," and sat aside to drink tea and eat cakes.

Mrs. Song exchanged a few more pleasantries and then left. She was very happy to meet someone. Before she left, the Zhao family also prepared some return gifts and sent them to the carriage.

In the evening, Mrs. Zhao was tidying up Zhao Chongtai's clothes. Zhao Chongtai was reading a book nearby when she suddenly asked, "What did the visitor from the Song family say today?"

Mrs. Zhao replied as she sorted out the things, "Nothing, I guess they came to see Qizhu on behalf of Mr. Song, and it's not out of line to bring some small gifts."

Zhao Chongtai suddenly said, "Oh, that won't work. You'd better show some attitude and don't let the Song family misunderstand that we have ulterior motives."

Madam Zhao was puzzled. "Is the Song family not peaceful? There are only Madam Song, Lord Jueming, and Lord Song. Their relationship is simple, so they are not a good husband's family."

Zhao Chongtai was a little embarrassed to speak, "No, no, after the court today, I heard everyone say that Lord Song might have a homosexual tendency."

Mrs. Zhao was shocked: "Ah! That's really not possible."

Song Mansion——————

During dinner, Song's mother looked at her son happily and said, "I went to see Qizhu today! She is really beautiful and graceful."

Song Xiaoyuan “............” said nothing, looking calm.

Seeing his wife embarrassed, Song Jueming continued, "Oh, are you here for Xiao Yuan?"

"Yes, since this taciturn person is silent, I, as a mother, will go and take a look at this future daughter-in-law. Oh, it is said that the Zhao family produces beautiful women, and this is true." Mrs. Song was immersed in the fantasy of being a mother-in-law.

Song Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows and said without getting angry, "Mother likes Miss Zhao very much?"

"Yes! She is a perfect match for you..."

"Oh, really? How does mother know if I like her?"

"You carry that hairpin with you every day, doesn't it mean you like her?"

Song Xiaoyuan understood and said meaningfully, "Buyao..."

Seeing Madam Song's embarrassment, the old servant hurriedly replied, "Madam asked Ah Wu, and he said it could be one of Miss Zhao or Miss Shen. I thought that the youngest daughter of the Shen family was still young and would not like luxurious jewelry, so I misunderstood that it must be Miss Zhao's."

Song Xiaoyuan said nothing.

Mrs. Song was about to speak, but Song Xiaoyuan spoke first, "Mother, please don't worry about my marriage. It's all a misunderstanding."

Mother Song looked disappointed and said nothing.

Song Jueming said playfully, "Recently there have been rumors in the court that you are a homosexual. Did you know that?" He didn't believe that his son was a homosexual, but he just wanted to see him angry.

As a result, Song Xiaoyuan replied calmly, "...I know."
