But the day before yesterday, I discovered she was in my bed, doing that with Xie Yan! And Xie Yan even said I’m too proper, not wild enough, and he likes that little slut’s style!”
Lady Yang’s face instantly turned white: “How could this be?”
“Mother, you must stand up for me!” Yang Mingshan said, hugging Lady Yang and crying.
Lady Yang, as a woman, couldn’t possibly go to the Xie family and question her son-in-law, especially since the Xie family’s official rank was higher. The Yang family could only swallow their grievances.
“Mother, say something!”
Lady Yang just sighed quietly: “Mingshan, you’ve long known your husband’s nature. The priority now is to quickly get pregnant, so your position will be stable. No matter how many women Xie Yan finds, he can’t shake your position.”
“Alright, I still need to teach the Second Miss some etiquette. We’ll discuss the Young Miss’s matter later in the evening.”
Young Miss Yang was afraid of losing face during the day, but at night, she could do anything behind closed doors, so she quickly nodded.
“Young Miss, please don’t take your anger out on me and delay the Second Miss’s time, okay?”
Young Miss Yang could only nod. Gu Qingtong satisfiedly smoothed her disheveled hair: “Let’s have a meal first.”
As for the Madam, let’s pretend nothing happened and have her go rest.”
Madam Yang was puzzled by their strange behavior, gave them a suspicious glance, and was then dragged away by the Young Miss.
Because the Young Miss was no longer causing trouble, Gu Qingtong’s afternoon etiquette lesson went much more smoothly. Without distractions, even the most complicated procedures could be learned carefully.
After dinner, the two young misses would usually accompany the elders for a chat, but Young Miss Yang was preoccupied with Gu Qingtong’s method and could hardly sit still. Fortunately, Madam Yang had some insight and let her return early.
Young Miss Yang returned to her courtyard and summoned someone to call for Gu Qingtong.
Gu Qingtong arrived fashionably late, almost driving Young Miss Yang to anger, but since she needed her help, she suppressed her dissatisfaction.
Gu Qingtong gave her a casual glance: “Young Miss, please remove your outer garment.”
