Chapter 344: Chapter 344 Yulang, Sorry for the Inconvenience
Niu Panāer felt a bit anxious. What should she say when she sees him?
Yuan Yi didnāt understand why the Commandery Princess wanted to come. Clearly, that pretty boy had already done something foolish. Hmph, how dare he dislike the Commandery Princess? Why didnāt he drown instead!
Song Ci walked out from Song Zhiyuās room and upon seeing Niu Panāer, her eyes smiled even before she spoke.
"Panāer, why are you here?"
Niu Panāer gathered her thoughts. Upon seeing Song Ci, she felt a bit shy, possibly because she was about to become her daughter-in-law. Her ears slightly turned red as she gave a ceremonial bow to Song Ci.
"Madam, Iām sorry to disturb you."
Jiang and Lu looked at Commandery Princess Dongyang, who was wearing riding clothes with her hair tied in a high ponytail, with curiosity, as she was to be their future sister-in-law.
Niu Panāerās status was more noble than theirs, so the two had to step forward to greet her.
Niu Panāer avoided them, returned a bow, and said somewhat reservedly, "You two Madams do not need to be overly polite."
Jiang, who was originally from a merchant family and had practiced martial arts since childhood, had a bold and straightforward personality. She greatly admired the martial artist Niu Panāer, feeling a sense of camaraderie, and said with a smile, "Courtesy must not be abandoned. Although we will be family in the future, we havenāt officially married yet, so we must not lose etiquette."
Niu Panāer felt a bit bashful at these words.
Madam Song said, "Itās the Commandery Princessās first time visiting our residence, Mother, so letās not stand here talking. Why donāt we invite her inside to drink some tea and chat?"
"Yes, yes, look at me, Iām overwhelmed with joy." Song Ci held Niu Panāerās hand and said, "Youāve come for that silly boy, right? You donāt need to worry. That rascal managed to accidentally fall into the water just standing in the pavilion. Iām so embarrassed for him."
Niu Panāer was stunned, "An accident?"
"Yes, what, did you listen to the nonsense outside and think that he wanted to jump into the lake because he was upset?" Song Ci said with a chuckle, "I know my own son; heās not that foolish. If he ever had such a thought, Iād be the first to pinch him to death and save everyone the heartache. Let me tell you, the only reason heād be upset is if he ran out of money and became a pauper, then maybe heād think of dying."
Niu Panāer: "..."
"Since youāre here, go and have a talk with him. After all, youāre both betrothed, and the wedding date is set, so meeting in private isnāt against the rules. After youāve talked, come and chat with me." She turned to Si Xi, "Si Xi, take the Commandery Princess to your Young Masterās room."
Si Xi responded with an "aye."
Seeing this, Niu Panāer said, "Iāll be right back."
Song Ci nodded with a smile.
Song Zhiyu was about to pretend to be dead when he heard Si Xi outside announcing the arrival of the Commandery Princess Dongyang.
"Not seeing anyone, Iām asleep."
Si Xi: "Madam said if you throw a tantrum, your monthly salary will be docked."
Song Zhiyu: "..."
Mother is truly ruthless.
He sat up angrily, glaring at the screen, and saw a tall, slender figure appear on the other side. As she turned, it was revealed to be Niu Panāer.
Their eyes met, filled with embarrassment.
"I came to check on you." Niu Panāer seemed at a loss with her hands.
Song Zhiyu felt even more awkward and muttered, "Whatās there to see? Not like Iām broken or naked."
He was still that same Song Yulang.
Niu Panāer let out a small smile and walked over, "They said you fell into the water!"
Song Zhiyu immediately said, "It was an accident, truly an accident. Donāt flatter yourself; why would I die for you?"
"I know." Niu Panāer looked at him, clutching the quilt, with a slightly pale and haggard face, appearing somewhat pitiable. Her heart softened, and she said, "Yulang, Iām sorry for your grievance."
