Chapter 14 Marriage
Although Xia Zihan's hatred disappeared in a flash, Song Huai still noticed it.
However, he was still young at this time and didn't think much about it. He thought he was wrong.
After all, he had never offended his cousin.
Moreover, she and him still have the relationship of an unmarried couple, and they are closer than other families, so there can be no hatred between them.
He must have seen it wrong.
"Auntie, my mother is receiving guests in the small hall of the West Cross Courtyard. She doesn't have time to come over. My mother told me to let my aunt go to Nuange to rest. She is ready." Song Huai said to Mrs. Zeng.
Then he ordered his maid to help Xia Zihan up, "Cousin Han, you have been kneeling for most of the day. You must be tired. You and your aunt should go to the Nuang Pavilion to rest. I am here with my father and mother."
As he spoke, he noticed that Xia Zihan's legs were stiff, so he knelt down and gently rubbed Xia Zihan's numb knees.
Ever since he was a child, Song Huai has been particularly good at coaxing and taking care of others. Judging from his appearance, he is also a gentle, careful and considerate gentleman.
Just because of this appearance, Xia Zihan trusted him without hesitation, admired him, and gave everything to him.
As a result, he was severely tricked several times.
"Are you feeling better? Can you leave? If you can't leave, let Tan Ju carry you there."
Tan Ju is his eldest maid, she is thirteen years old.
"No need." Xia Zihan refused coldly.
In this life, she will not be fooled by him stupidly.
He was sanctimonious and pretended to take care of her, but she wouldn't remember this feeling.
Xia Zihan ignored Song Huai, who was stunned in embarrassment. She called the nurse over, helped her, and went to Nuange next door with Mrs. Zeng.
There was no one in the Nuan Pavilion and it was quiet. It had obviously been cleaned in advance.
As soon as Zeng and Xia Zihan sat down, the maid came in with two bowls of shredded chicken and mushroom noodles. "Auntie, cousin Han, please rest, I have to go out to help my father and mother entertain the guests."
Song Huai bowed to Zeng and resigned.
Mrs. Zeng was very satisfied when she saw that he was polite and well-controlled at a young age.
After Song Huai went out, Zeng lost his appetite after eating a few mouthfuls.
After Xia Zihan finished eating, she sent the maid in the room, looked at Xia Zihan lovingly, and asked softly, "Yu Niang, do you not like your cousin Huai?"
"No, it's just..." She blushed and stumbled, "Didn't my grandma teach me that men and women should not be intimate with each other? I am already eight years old, and I have passed the age where men and women sit on separate tables."
Phew...
Grandma is indeed an old woman. She tried her best to hide her dislike for Song Huai, but she still let her see through it.
Her marriage to Song Huai was requested by her grandmother from the Song family and was a trust for her future.
Therefore, even if it was to reassure grandma, no matter how much she hated Song Huai, she couldn't show anything in front of grandma.
When Mrs. Zeng heard this, she sighed and didn't know what to say.
Is it because she taught so well?
Or is it because Yu Niang is too obedient?
She held Xia Zihan's hand distressedly and said lovingly and softly, "Your grandfather arranged this marriage for you before he left. He helped you meet Song Huai and said that Song Huai is a pearl and jade, as long as it is carved, If done properly, it will definitely shine.”
"Yu Niang, grandma is old and can no longer take care of you for a few years. You have to remember that when you marry into the Song family in the future, you must live a good life with your cousin Huai."
No, it won't happen one day.
Grandma probably never dreamed that the marriage she and her grandfather had worked so hard to arrange for her would be tricked by her stepmother into giving her stepsister a wedding dress.
