After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

Chapter 9 She Doesn’t Want to Be the First Wife of the Clan

Song Nihuan's heart was beating wildly.

The confession he made contained her name, which sounded very disjointed.

She thought that this sentence should be said to the real Jiang Yao, and she felt guilty for snatching someone else's marriage.

Xie Yunji is a very good person and he saved her. Maybe it's best to just make the best of a bad situation.

But for some reason, there was always an inexplicable reminder in her heart that she shouldn't do this. She seemed to have forgotten something important.

Song Nihuan put her arms around his shoulders lightly, but when he couldn't see her, her face was filled with worry, and she began to think about escaping from Xie's house again.

His family fell into poverty and he had been involved in the entertainment industry. He finally got out, but the marriage he got for someone else's name was ultimately just an illusion. Why should he lock himself up in another cage full of thorns?

The news that Xie Yunji had a special liking for her also reached the ears of Jiang's father and son.

"My lady is no longer the same as she used to be. She even avoids her own father and brother." Lord Jiang sat in the private room of Yunlai Restaurant and said with a fake smile, "Since you have taken my daughter's identity, you have to make plans for her father and brother."

Song Nihuan was speechless for a moment, her eyes fell on the young man beside Lord Jiang. The man was short and had a rough appearance, and he was looking at the two lumps of flesh on her chest with a sly look.

How can such a person serve as an official in the court?

Song Ni ducked and dodged, and angrily scolded, "Be careful with your dog eyes!"

Unexpectedly, the man slapped her on the cheek, "Bitch! You have grown up! Don't think that you are safe just because you hook up with the eldest son of the Xie family. Have you forgotten who you are?"

"If a girl from a good family is alone in the wilderness, how can she be? With your appearance and the manners of a brothel, you still dream of becoming the mistress of the Xie family? Humph, if I can send you to the Xie family, I can also pull you out again!"

She fell to the ground after being slapped by Judge Jiang, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

It feels bad to have someone hold something against you.

She pondered in her heart and made up her mind to leave the Xie family, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said calmly, "What do you want me to do, benefactor?"

Judge Jiang saw that she looked obedient and was obviously afraid, so it seemed that she was still easy to control. He then took out a piece of letter and handed it to her, "This is what I sent someone to find out about Xie Yunji's favorite objects and habits. You need to study it carefully and let him pay more attention to you. It would be best if you could get pregnant with a child, then everything would be safe."

"Although his mother, Princess Qinghe, passed away early, she left him the status of the eldest son. To put it bluntly, she and His Majesty can be said to be from the same family. How could such a man have only a beautiful concubine like you? When her beauty fades and her love fades, it is better to have a child while the love is strong."

"Are you crazy, sir? Xie Yunji is still in mourning! If I get pregnant, how will others look at him?" Song Nihuan knew that she and Xie Yunji could not be husband and wife, but fortunately he was still in mourning, so she could delay.

He stroked his beard, "Yes, yes, how could I forget about this? It is true that I was too anxious. Anyway, you need to hurry up, my son is already young and has not yet held an official position! As a younger sister, you should do more to help your parents. Next month is the end of the year, so wait until after the New Year. I want to receive good news."

Song Nihuan gritted her teeth and nodded.

After returning to Xie's house, the maid informed her that Master Xie and his second wife were waiting in the dining room.

Not long after Mrs. Xie passed away suddenly due to illness, Mr. Xie remarried.

Those who could marry into the Xie family, even if they were second wives, were concubines of the Duke of Wei's mansion, and were brought up as the wives of the great families. She was once the concubine of Mr. Xie, but after the mistress died suddenly, the household was empty, and the Xie family could not afford to be left without someone to take care of it, so they immediately made her the principal wife.

The Xie family is a large family with strict rules, but the second wife was still able to handle it with ease. In a short time, she sorted out the miscellaneous matters and managed the Xie family in an orderly manner.

She is very young, only three years older than Song Nihuan.

After Mr. Xie reported for mourning, he traveled around and lived a carefree life. But after all, he was once a powerful figure, so he would not give up completely even in his old age.

The reason they wanted to see her at this moment must be that the rumor that Xie Yunji loved her had reached their ears.

The tangled feelings in her heart were finally sorted out, and Song Nihuan looked back to normal. She tidied her clothes and luggage, then lifted the door curtain and went in.

Seeing her come in, Mr. Xie put down his chopsticks.

Mr. Xie's second wife, Wei, was young and shrewd, with a well-mannered demeanor, but she also frowned and looked at her carefully.

When Wei saw Song Nihuan's beautiful face and graceful figure, she knew that this rare beauty was dangerous. She also understood why Xie Yunji had a special liking for her.

After a moment, she said calmly, "She is indeed a beautiful and wonderful person. They say that taking concubines is about taking beauties, and Yunji, you are an expert at this."

This statement was flawless, implying that she was not worthy of being the wife of the eldest son in the family and was only worthy of being a concubine.

"Father, Madam, Yun Ji wants to marry Madam Jiang." He said seriously.

"The Xie family is a large family. As your wife, you need to reconcile the interests of many parties and handle family affairs. You also need to support the household and be resolute and decisive. Yunji, you are a smart person and you should know that this is not easy." Mr. Xie said carefully.

He had always trained this eldest son as the next generation leader of the Xie family, and marrying a wife was not just about marrying a woman, but also about the network of relationships and generous dowry she could bring. His legal wife was particularly important.

"Yun Ji, do you really think Madam Jiang is worthy of being the mistress? If you like her, just take her as a concubine. You are going to pursue a career in government, and your wife may become a royal lady in the future. Although she is beautiful, her mother's family is too poor and she can't help you at all."

Xie Yunji sneered in his heart. His biological mother, Princess Qinghe, was a typical wife of the eldest son of a clan. Not only did she have a noble status, she was also thorough and meticulous in handling the affairs of the inner house, and kept the mansion in perfect order.

All the members of the Xie family admire her when they talk about her, but so what?

Still, it couldn't stop my father from taking concubines one after another.

He knew since he was a child that if a man's heart was with a woman, even if the woman made a huge mistake, the man would still cover it up for her even if it meant suffering himself.

The father's heart is with Xie Tan's mother. But Xie Tan's mother's heart is not with his father, which can be regarded as a punishment for his father's indifference.

However, his proud and resolute mother obviously failed to win his father's heart, and eventually died of depression at an early age.

"Why does Xie need others to help?" He said calmly, looking up at Mr. Xie, "I won't take a concubine."

When Xie Yunji said this, Mr. Xie, Madam Wei, and Song Nihuan all widened their eyes.

How could a legitimate son of a noble family like him not take a concubine?

Since ancient times, all the noble families have been intermarrying with each other. The relationships are complicated and one move can affect the whole body, which makes others fearful.

Madam Wei glared at Ni Huan, "But what kind of magic potion did you give him?"

It's unheard of that she's already thinking about doting on her husband before she even gets married. I really don't know what Xie Yunji is thinking, is she really an infatuated person?

Xie Yunji protected Ni Huan behind him and repeated in a calm tone as if he was describing a commonplace matter, "I will not take a concubine."

"She can only be my wife. Besides, I have already been engaged to her. I will marry her when the mourning period is over."

One year is enough time for him to arrange many things properly. No one can stop him by then.

"She is engaged to a man from the Xie family!" Mr. Xie rubbed his temple. "The Jiang family is not as well-off as the mistress of the Xie family. Don't forget that you have a younger brother!"

Xie Yunji pursed his lips tightly. Yes, he had never forgotten that he had a younger brother who was confined to the backyard.

But so what? Xie Tan had already been defeated by him, so how could he compete with him again?

Xie Yunji stood up straight, bowed and was about to pay his respects to his father to show his respect, but Song Nihuan grabbed his arm.

"I know that my status is low and I dare not dream of becoming the mistress of the Xie family. I will definitely advise you, father and mother, don't worry, you just can't figure it out for the time being..." Song Nihuan said.

She doesn't want to be the eldest wife in the royal family.

The Xie family is such a big family, with such a high status, and the second wife alone is not an easy person to deal with. In the officialdom, besides relying on the real skills of men, the daily management of the wives is also indispensable. Now Xie Yunji has been promoted to the sixth rank, and he will rise to the top. How can she, the daughter of a demoted minor official, control it?

He is deeply in love with her now, and he will probably want to marry a wife who can help him.

After many years, there is no more affection between the two, only resentment. What's the point?

She is self-aware.

A woman who is as floating as a duckweed and has been in pleasure quarters will be so discerning and know the current situation.

"I have absolutely no delusion of becoming the eldest master's wife." Song Nihuan expressed her feelings sincerely again.

However, the way Xie Yunji looked at her seemed a little hurt...

Mr. Xie sighed for a moment, collected his emotions, and instructed: "In this case, one year is not long, nor short. Yunji, you... must hold on and don't do anything absurd."

How many noble families made their concubines pregnant during the mourning period, which later became a handle and excuse for their opponents to attack them.

Mr. Xie didn't know that they lived in the same room but still acted out of affection but within courtesy, so he said this openly.

Song Nihuan's ears turned red and she quickly lowered her eyes.

Xie Yunji looked calm, and bowed and said, "Don't worry, son. Don't worry, father."

Even when faced with such private matters, he remained meticulous in etiquette, and his every move was impeccable. This demeanor was ingrained in his bones.
