Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Chapter 1245 Entering the Mansion

Xie Ru was well aware that her niece was quite capable, but she couldn't welcome her into the mansion. This would be disrespectful to Zhan Qingning and would also leave her unable to explain to Lin Yiwan.

Perhaps seeing through her thoughts, Madam Xie said, "If you don't want to talk to Lin Yiwan, then I'll beg her. I'll kneel in front of her until she nods in agreement!"

Before Xie Ru could say anything, Xie Rongrong spoke up: "Mother, what's the use of begging Lin Yiwan? You might as well beg Zhan Qingning. As long as she's willing to accept me, no one else can say anything!"

Madam Xie's eyes lit up: "You're right, go and beg Qing Ning!"

The mother and daughter were about to leave, supporting each other, when Xie Ru shouted angrily, "Stop right there! If any of you dare to tell my daughter-in-law Qing Ning about this, then don't expect me to acknowledge you as a relative anymore!"

Madam Xie was truly frightened, for she knew all too well that her younger sister was a woman of her word.

Even though Xie Rongrong was unwilling, she still grabbed her wrist tightly and said, "Listen to your aunt, don't bother your cousin-in-law for now!"

Xie Rongrong gritted her teeth and whispered, "Aunt, I really love my cousin. I only want to marry him. Why can't you agree? Don't you like me too?"

Xie Ru frowned and said, "I like you because you are my brother's daughter, but I will never allow you to ruin Jian Shu and Qing Ning's relationship. If you still want to call me aunt, you'd better leave the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion immediately. Otherwise, I will invite your father over, and from now on, I will sever all ties with you!"

Just one sentence was enough to turn the mother and daughter pale and pale.

Especially Madam Xie, she never expected it to be so serious as to sever ties with her family.

That won't do. The Xie family, as a merchant family, was able to squeeze into the circle of powerful and wealthy people precisely because of her.

She was addressed as Madam Xie when she walked down the street, because this younger sister-in-law held a prestigious position in the capital.

She absolutely refuses to sever ties with her family!

Thinking of this, she said urgently, "Ru-mei, don't be angry. Rongrong already knows she was wrong. I'll take her back and teach her properly. Let's leave now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed Xie Rongrong's wrist and quickly walked out.

Xie Rongrong tried to struggle, but was held tightly, and could only stagger away from the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence.

Once she was seated in the carriage, she cried and questioned, "Mother, how could you do this? You brought me out; how can I ever see my cousin again?"

Madam Xie angrily rebuked, "Haven't you learned your lesson yet? Do you really want her to sever ties with us? If that happens, our Xie family will have no place in the capital!"

Xie Rongrong understood this principle perfectly well, but she was simply unwilling to accept it!

She frowned and asked, "How did you and your aunt arrive so quickly? Didn't I send the wet nurse to fetch my cousin?"

Madam Xie said helplessly, "Your cousin was coming, but he ran into Miss Zhan Miao of the Xie family on the way. She found out about your plot and tipped him off, which is why he called us to the guest room!"

Xie Rongrong stared wide-eyed in shock: "How did she know? There wasn't a soul around when I was discussing the plan with the wet nurse!"

Madam Xie waved her hand: "Never mind, she must have overheard it. For now, we can only wait for your aunt to calm down. You can come and apologize in a few days!"

Xie Rongrong clenched her fists tightly, harboring resentment towards Zhan Miao.

Anyone who dares to ruin her plans must not be let off the hook.

At this moment, the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion was bustling again, and Xie Ru hurriedly urged Xie Jianshu to go to the bridal chamber with Zhan Qingning.

He entered the room and saw Zhan Qingning, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, sitting on a soft couch.

He could barely stand, whether from drinking or from nervousness, it was hard to tell.

He leaned closer and called out, "Lime?"

Zhan Qingning replied in a low voice, "Yes, Miao'er just said there was some trouble at the front. Has it been resolved? You and Mother weren't given any trouble, were you?"

Xie Jianshu shook his head hastily: "No!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the scale hook and removed the red veil covering Zhan Qingning's head.

A bright, beautiful face appeared before him, instantly taking his breath away.

He said in a simple, honest voice, "Lime, you're so beautiful!"

Zhan Qingning chuckled: "Silly boy, don't just stare, hurry up and help me take off this headdress, it's so heavy, it's about to break my neck!"

Xie Jianshu quickly went around behind her to remove the headdress, but found it extremely difficult.

His hands had held knives and swords, but never touched a woman's hair. It was so light and gentle that it melted his heart.

Although he was a bit flustered, he finally managed to remove the headdress thanks to his strong perseverance.

His back was sweating, and his breathing was a little heavy.

Zhan Qingning rubbed her sore neck and said, "Ouch, that's a relief. What's next? Shouldn't we drink the nuptial wine?"

Xie Jianshu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, we need to drink!"

The two of them each held a glass of wine, and the moment their wrists touched, Xie Jianshu felt as if he were surrounded by a sweet fragrance.

He put down his wine bowl and instinctively pulled Zhan Qingning into his arms.

The candlelight flickered, and the little girl in my arms seemed a little nervous.

She whispered, "Xie Jianshu, let go of me first, you're choking me so much I can't breathe!"

Xie Jianshu belatedly realized he had let go, his face full of apology: "Yes, I'm sorry!"

Zhan Qingning chuckled: "You don't need to apologize to me. I've already ordered someone to prepare hot water for you. Go take a bath first and change into clean, refreshing nightgown!"

He didn't want to be separated from her, but he also knew that he was covered in sweat and smelled of alcohol and really needed to wash up.

He got up and left, while Zhan Qingning went to the other bathroom.

After changing into her soft nightgown, she finally let out a long sigh of relief.

But thinking about what was about to happen, her eyes welled up with tears again.

She was really scared!

From then on, there would be another person in her bed, which she was really not used to.

Just as she was lost in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door: "Qing Ning, are you... are you ready?"

She quickly got up to open the door and saw Xie Jianshu standing outside with a worried expression.

He asked with concern, "Are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhan Qingning shook her head: "No, I'm drying it!"

Xie Jianshu tentatively asked, "Is it done drying? Shouldn't we go back to bed now?"

"Mmm!" she responded with her eyes lowered, and followed him back to the bridal chamber.

The curtains slowly fell, and Zhan Qingning's long, black hair was spread out on the brocade pillow.

Her heart pounded with anxiety. After struggling for a long time, she pleaded, "Xie Jianshu, could you be a little gentler?"

Xie Jianshu felt as if a feather had tickled his heart, making it itch terribly.

He understood what she meant; no wonder she was hesitant—she was afraid of pain.

But he has no experience either!

How can this be good?
