Chapter 336: Just a Concubine (1)_1
Xiujin Sun simply couldn’t bear it. She scrutinized the family her matchmakers introduced, but found them utterly unsatisfactory regardless of how she looked! With Young Master Shen as the paragon, how could she ever fancy that smug man! For her own future, she must take a gamble!
Yet, expressing her feelings left her quite insecure, especially when Shen Songming was particularly fond of Pei Qin.
Xiujin sought an opportunity when Pei Qin was not around to declare her resolve to Shen Songming, to follow him, even if it meant being a concubine. If she could bear a son first, her status would be secure! As long as she could please her mother-in-law, she would lead a comfortable life! Even the principal wife wouldn’t dare to mistreat her!
Even though Shen Songming spent his days at Pei Qin’s home, he would always return to the inn to stay overnight after dinner.
Xiujin decided to waylay him on his way back to the inn.
After a satisfying meal, Songming left Liu’er Alley with Shuang Xi just as dusk began to fall, making their way towards the inn.
Xiujin had timed it perfectly, waiting for him to approach so she could twist her ankle and fall towards him.
However, what she didn’t know was that in the evenings, Shuang Xi would carry a lantern and walk ahead to light the path. Whether or not the light was necessary, he was accustomed to walking ahead. After checking the path was smooth, he would then let Song Ming follow, ensuring that his master wouldn’t trip or step into a hole by mistake.
Just as the person in front was approaching, Xiujin ran forward a few steps and collided with him, twisting her ankle severely and crying out in pain immediately.
