Chapter 466 - 304 Going to Wushan Together for *Cloud* *Rain*
"Leave," Xiao Song said, as if he had long known what Ran Yan was thinking, stopping Qing Luo’s movements.
When Ge Lan left Chang’an, there had been no shadow of marriage, and no one thought it would happen so quickly. When the Ran Clan hurried to Chang’an, they had prepared to bring Ge Lan back. But the Gao family said Ge Lan was too old and disabled, and sending her to be a secondary wife might cause discontent among the Xiao Clan. The Ran Clan elders thought the same, so they selected a talented and beautiful maid from beside Lady Gao to accompany them instead, pushing aside the substitute maid Ran Pingyu originally prepared for Ran Yan. This person was none other than Qing Luo.
Upon hearing Xiao Song’s words, Wan Lu immediately covered Ran Yan with the brocade quilt, got up, and prepared to leave after putting on her shoes and socks. Looking back to see that Qing Luo had not reacted, she tugged at her sleeve and said, "Let’s go."
"But...the rules..." Qing Luo hesitantly spoke. While whether she wanted to stay was one matter, the rules dictated that the bride’s accompanying maid must wait outside the tent until dawn when someone from the Xiao Clan would come to collect the white silk handkerchief.
Wan Lu gave her a sharp look and whispered, "The master’s rules are the rules. As a maid, just obey; do you also want to lecture your lord before the wedding night?"
In matters of marital relations, Wan Lu saw things very clearly. No lady wished to stuff another next to her husband, under the guise of joint service, not knowing how much turmoil it caused in a wife’s heart. And Wan Lu, for one, would never add to Ran Yan’s distress. Furthermore, Ran Yan had already promised to elevate her status in the future, which was more important than anything.
Qing Luo, unaware of this arrangement, hesitated, but Wan Lu forcibly dragged her out.
The door creaked shut, and Ran Yan glanced at Xiao Song nervously, clutching the brocade quilt tighter.
She could discuss sex matter-of-factly, even more knowledgeable than most, but it was purely theoretical, and she had never had the time to practically explore this area with someone.
"Be not afraid," Xiao Song approached the bed, leaning over her still covered by the brocade quilt.
