As the eldest daughter from the main line of a family of high officials, the education and etiquette she received from a young age were unlike those of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Song Meiqin could be rather feisty in front of Aunt Zhao, her refined etiquette was still visible in the details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Song Meiqin was leaning by the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Her exquisite face isn’t stunning like my wife’s, nor does it possess the ripe, mature charm of Aunt Zhao.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Under the moonlight, she actually looks somewhat saintly.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long hair was meticulously styled, coiled flawlessly at the back of her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Meiqin showed no surprise at Lu Yuan’s appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Someone must have reported my approach,’ he figured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your aunt didn’t dote on you for nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting upright in her carriage, Song Meiqin gave Lu Yuan a light huff and said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t being childish like she had been with Zhao Qiao’Er during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Song Meiqin truly resembled a high-ranking Official’s Wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then he quickly cupped his hands in a slight bow and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt Song, are you also headed to Xilingzi...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lu Yuan could finish, Song Meiqin cut him off with a dismissive wave of her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t go around claiming relations.

She’s being utterly foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t just stand by and watch her act the fool. No matter what, real power and money are what you hold in your own hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Xilingzi can’t be held onto in the long run, she can’t just give it up at the drop of a hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving up Xilingzi now would cut the Zhao Family’s power in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemies your Aunt Zhao has made in the past will immediately come seeking revenge. How will the Zhao Family maintain its footing then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she’s going to let it go, she has to do it slowly. It absolutely cannot be done like this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Meiqin spoke quietly, her tone measured and calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan stared at Song Meiqin, his face a mask of astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This Song Meiqin...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She really is different from before.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song Meiqin he’d seen before was always with Aunt Zhao, and if they weren’t arguing, they were bickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She acted like an arrogant, willful young lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, she was like a completely different person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Heh, this woman has two faces.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Then again, who doesn’t...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In front of me, Aunt Zhao is always cooing pet names, calling me her dearest nephew with every breath.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But in front of others, if she wanted someone dead, they’d be dead. She’s absolutely ruthless.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And wasn’t I the same?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A well-behaved nephew to Aunt Zhao’s face, but behind her back, I’m full of secrets and not the least bit honest.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as he grew more familiar with Aunt Zhao, Lu Yuan was finding it harder and harder to maintain his original persona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, however, Aunt Zhao’s affection for him hadn’t diminished in the slightest; on the contrary, it had only grown more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a fine aged wine, growing richer with time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Speaking of which, the only person in this world who’s truly the same on the inside and out is probably my dear, sweet wife.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So sweet and naive.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Just thinking about her makes me want to pull her into my arms and cherish her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Of course, now isn’t the time to be thinking about my wife.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lu Yuan was looking at Song Meiqin’s entourage and about to say something,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she looked at him and spoke again in that same indifferent tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re more capable than I gave you credit for. I underestimated you before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You snuck away to come here today, didn’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Meiqin knew a fair bit about Lu Yuan’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, while she and Zhao Qiao’Er might bicker, their relationship was closer than that of blood sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Song Meiqin knew a thing or two about Lu Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, she knew that it was Lu Yuan who had carried Zhao Qiao’Er out of a ravine on his back, saving her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And later on, when Zhao Qiao’Er was in danger, Lu Yuan refused to leave no matter how much they tried to drive him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He insisted on staying, and it was a good thing he did—otherwise, Zhao Qiao’Er would already be gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And only after Zhao Qiao’Er was safe did Lu Yuan turn and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Meiqin knew all of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She envied the bond between Lu Yuan and Zhao Qiao’Er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also made her understand why Zhao Qiao’Er, who could be as venomous as a viper, doted on Lu Yuan so completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who wouldn’t cherish a young man like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with what was happening today; he must have snuck out on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with Zhao Qiao’Er’s fiercely protective nature, she would rather die than let Lu Yuan go to Xilingzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their mutual love and loyalty was something Song Meiqin truly envied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to Song Meiqin’s words, Lu Yuan just grinned and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt Zhao treats me like her own nephew. Naturally, I can’t just stand by and do nothing when I see she’s in trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m reasonably capable, so of course I want to give it a try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Meiqin huffed lightly, her expression unchanging as she said coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get up here and have a seat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan froze, then looked at her, utterly baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Meiqin shot him a glare with her beautiful eyes and snapped:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean, ’huh?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xilingzi is a long way off!
