Chapter 556: Chapter 556

Xie Ruilin just watched with wide-open eyes as Song Yanqing and Xie Ruotong left from before her.

Although she could discern the care Song Yanqing had for her, in the end, she was still led away by Xie Ruotong.

And she didn’t dare to hold him back.

Xie Ruilin bit her lip, keeping silent.

Ming Yufang saw the expression on her face and was noticeably cold towards her, "Xie Ruilin, if it weren’t for the fact that you are pregnant..."

"Mother, it really has nothing to do with me, I truly didn’t know Chun Tao would do such a thing," Xie Ruilin quickly retorted.

She would never admit it, even in death.

"Do you think I’m a fool?!" Ming Yufang said coldly.

"Mother, I really didn’t..." Tears welled up in Xie Ruilin’s eyes, but she just wouldn’t admit it.

"Enough!" Ming Yufang called out to Xie Ruilin, "I’m clear about this matter, it’s not just up to your few words."

Xie Ruilin bit her lip.

She also knew she couldn’t deceive her.

But even if she couldn’t deceive her, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to admit it.

"What I want to tell you now is to behave yourself at home from now on. This is not your Duke Mansion; having married into the Song Family, you must follow the Song Family’s rules and act respectably!" Ming Yufang’s face was gloomy, and her tone was harsh.

In her heart, Xie Ruilin was certainly thoroughly discontent, but on the surface, she still looked softly obedient, "Mother, I understand."

"After all, you are a concubine, Xie Ruotong is the legal wife; favoring a concubine over the wife is a heinous sin in Daxuan, do not harm Yanqing or discredit our Song Family. People would laugh at us if they heard about it. If Yanqing favors you, you should be grateful and not try to compete for anything. No matter how deep your relationship with Yanqing was before or whatever happened in between that made you a concubine, the result is that you are just a concubine, don’t take yourself too seriously!" Ming Yufang lectured.

It seemed she was extremely dissatisfied with Xie Ruilin.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be blaming her while she was pregnant.

Tears filled Xie Ruilin’s eyes.

She appeared pitiful and wronged.

In fact, her heart was full of venom.

Ming Yufang even told her to keep her place and not overstep her boundaries.

Why did the Song Family feel no remorse for her plight when she was forced to marry Song Yanqing as a concubine?!

If she had not agreed to marry Song Yanqing as a concubine back then,

With Song Yanqing’s character, he would have rejected the marriage to death, how would the Song Family explain to the Duke Mansion, maybe Song Yanqing would have ruined himself long ago.

Her sacrifice was this deep,

and yet Ming Yufang still had the audacity to reprimand her without shame, telling her to know her place.

"Regarding today’s matter, in view of your pregnancy, I won’t take it to heart." Ming Yufang took a deep breath, calming herself down as well, "You should be clear that the reason you can act so arrogantly now, all comes down to the child in your belly. You’d better nourish yourself well and safely give birth to the child; otherwise, you won’t have good days ahead in the Song Family."

Ming Yufang spoke frankly.

She also implied that Xie Ruilin should stop harboring any cunning thoughts.

Without this child, Xie Ruilin is worthless in the Song Family.

"Moreover. Song Yanqing and Xie Ruotong need to cultivate their feelings, you should intervene less," Ming Yufang warned, "They are the rightful couple through a formal marriage! If I find out you are sabotaging, don’t blame me for being heartless!"

Having dropped these words, Ming Yufang left Xie Ruilin’s room decisively.

After everyone had left.

Xie Ruilin eventually couldn’t control herself and swept all the teacups in front of her onto the floor.

to belittle her so much without regard for her dignity!

Just because she’s a concubine, does that mean she has no status?!

Eventually, Ming Yufang would regret her actions towards her today!

One day she would make Ming Yufang realize that the only person who could continue their lineage for the Song Family was her.

Song Yanqing wouldn’t even touch any woman other than her.

Xie Ruilin glanced at the child in her belly.

Whether or not she will continue the lineage for the Song Family will depend on the Song Family’s attitude towards her.

In Xie Ruotong’s main room.

Xie Ruotong lay in bed, still holding onto Song Yanqing’s hand.

Song Yanqing looked on with a detached gaze.

Several times he wanted to pull away, but then tacitly consented to her actions.

"If you have something to say, just say it," Song Yanqing was always intelligent.

Being the top scorer, he was certainly not a simple man.

He could see through Xie Ruotong’s thoughts at a glance.
