Chapter 477: Commotion At The Situ Clan

"Is Lingxi still not awake?"

Murong Xianyin sat beside her mother-in-law. "Lingxi is still sleeping, and Tang Xiao is with her."

Situ Chengyan and Dugu Xinyue exchanged surprised glances; they couldn’t sense Tang Xiao’s presence within their clan, yet Murong Xianyin said he was in their granddaughter’s bedroom.

"When did he arrive at our clan?"

"I don’t know, Father," Murong Xianyin replied, shaking her head. "When I entered her bedroom, he was already there."

Dugu Xinyue shook her head slightly. "Our clan is one of the clans with the tightest security, but he can come in and out as he pleases."

"Yeah." Situ Chengyan agreed with his wife. "Not only our guards, but we ourselves were also unaware of his presence."

Murong Xianyin looked at them and asked. "Should we let my husband meet Tang Xiao?"

"I think they shouldn’t meet for now." Situ Chengyan paused and looked away. "Tang Xiao will be meeting with your sister-in-law soon, so I think we should wait for their meeting to finish."

Dugu Xinyue added. "Even though Lingshan has already decided to accept Tang Xiao, she still needs to convince your sister-in-law. If their meeting goes smoothly, we will arrange a meeting for him with your husband."

"Okay." Murong Xianyin chose to agree with them.

"If Tang Xiao manages to win your sister-in-law’s heart, your husband won’t dare say anything about his relationship with Lingxi." Dugu Xinyue narrowed her eyes. "I feel like my son is getting stupid, and he always listens to Pan Yuezhi’s words. The idea to get Lingxi closer to Xuanyuan Wenxuan and Luo Yixuan must have come from her, and she wants to use that to get rid of you."

Situ Chengyan sighed to himself and stood up. "Let’s go to the dining room."

Dugu Xinyue and Murong Xianyin immediately followed behind Situ Chengyan.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Situ Lingxi felt embarrassed when Tang Xiao started cleaning her body. Even though they had often soaked together in the jacuzzi inside the ark, she still felt embarrassed by their intimate activities.

"Mhmm..." Situ Lingxi moaned softly as Tang Xiao fondled her breasts. "Do you like my body?"

Tang Xiao smiled and whispered in her ear. "I like everything about you, Lingxi. Honestly, I can’t wait to eat you, but I’m in no rush, and I’ll wait until you’re ready."

Situ Ling had been thinking about this since the previous night; she didn’t want her father to continue with his idea of ​​setting her up with Xuanyuan Wenxuan or Luo Yixuan.

"Tang Xiao."

"Yes?"

"Let’s have sex."

"Hmm?" Tang Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Do you want to do it because of your father?"

"No." Situ Lingxi denied it, turned around, and stood facing him. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pressed their foreheads together, and looked into his eyes. "I don’t care about my father, and I want to have sex with you because I’ve chosen you to be my future husband."

Tang Xiao rubbed her cheeks. "There’s no need to rush, okay? For now, I want you to prepare yourself mentally first, and I will take you as my wife when you’re ready."

"But—" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"No buts." Tang Xiao pressed his index finger against her lips to stop her. "I’m younger than you, but I have more experience than you when it comes to this matter. I know you aren’t ready, and that you want to do it now because of your father."

Situ Lingxi pursed her lips. "How about we do it after we meet my aunt?"

"No." Tang Xiao refused. "We’ll do it when you’re ready, okay? As for your father’s wishes, you don’t need to worry about that, and I’ll handle everything for you."

"How are you going to handle it?"

"Did you forget about Xuanyuan Yueyao?" Situ Lingxi shook her head at Tang Xiao. "Xuanyuan Wenxuan is a member of the Xuanyuan branch clan, and his status is below hers, so he won’t dare to argue with her."

"That’s true." Situ Lingxi nodded in agreement. "Are you going to ask Xuanyuan Yueyao for help to pressure him?"

"I don’t need to do that." Situ Lingxi looked at Tang Xiao in confusion. "I’ll ask Xuanyuan Yueyao to arrange a meeting with him, and I’ll build a good relationship with him through alchemy. Besides, I’ve already discussed the matter regarding him with Old Huangfu, and he said that your father’s idea was nothing more than wishful thinking."

"Then, what about Luo Yixuan?"

"Old Huangfu told me that Luo Yixuan has no interest in romantic affairs, and he is completely focused on learning the way of the sword."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yes." Tang Xiao nodded. "So far, Old Huangfu has never done anything that caused me a loss, so I trust him."

Situ Lingxi sighed softly. "Alright, I’ll go along with your plan for now, and I’ll prepare myself as well. When I’m ready, we’ll have sex, and I’ll become your wife then."

"That’s good." Tang Xiao smiled. "By the way, I won’t be seeing your father for now; I’m going to meet Yin’er and the others instead. We’ll meet at the gates of the Taixu Royal Palace later, and we’ll meet your aunt together."

"Okay."

After finishing their baths, Tang Xiao immediately left the Situ Clan’s main residence and headed to the secondary residence.

Meanwhile, Situ Lingxi went to the dining room because her family members were already waiting for her. She was slightly surprised when she saw Hong Ruoyan and Situ Shuying. "When did the two of you get back?"

"We came back last night, but you were already asleep, Lingxi." Hong Ruoyan answered her.

Situ Shuying looked at Situ Lingxi. "Eldest sister, I brought a gift for you, and I kept it in my room."

"I will pick up your gift later." Situ Lingxi sat beside her mother without greeting Situ Zengyan, Pan Yuezhi, and Situ Qingze. "Do you want to come with me, Mother? I’m going to the royal palace to meet my aunt after this, and I probably won’t come back."

Situ Zengyan and Pan Yuezhi frowned as they planned to take Situ Lingxi to the Luo Clan to meet Luo Yixuan’s parents, but she wanted to go to the royal palace instead. They were annoyed with her decision, but they didn’t dare stop her; otherwise, Situ Lingshan would scold them endlessly.

Although Situ Zengyan was the current patriarch of the Situ Clan, her status was far below Situ Lingshan’s, especially after she became the queen of the Taixu Kingdom.

Murong Xianyin glanced at the two before nodding to her daughter. "I’ve promised to visit my sister-in-law, so I’ll go with you to the royal palace."

"Okay."

After that, they started breakfast while discussing light things.

Throughout breakfast, Situ Zengyan and Pan Yuezhi tried to direct the conversation towards the matter of Situ Lingxi’s matchmaking, but none of them responded to them.

Situ Chengyan and Dugu Xinyue repeatedly asked their son to shut his mouth and stop discussing it, which made him annoyed and furious.

Situ Zengyan tried to get Murong Xianyin’s support, but she didn’t want to interfere with their daughter’s feelings and left the matter to Situ Lingxi’s choice.

Seeing the situation, Pan Yuezhi was rendered speechless; she ultimately chose to keep her mouth shut. If she forced the situation, she feared her parents-in-law would be furious with her, and her position within the Situ Clan would become even more disadvantageous.

Situ Qingze naturally didn’t dare join their conversation; instead, he focused on his breakfast while minding his own affairs.

Listening to their conversation about Situ Lingxi, Hong Ruoyan noticed that Situ Qingze was repeatedly glancing at Murong Xianyin and Situ Shuying.

Hong Ruoyan had long realized that Situ Qingze had improper thoughts towards the two women, but she didn’t dare to say anything.

Before they gathered in the dining room, Hong Ruoyan saw Situ Qingze waiting in front of her daughter’s room, and his movements were extremely suspicious. Instead of reprimanding him, she asked Situ Shuying not to leave the room until breakfast time.

Hong Ruoyan sighed inwardly. ’I must speak to Sister Xianyin about this matter as soon as possible; I am worried that Situ Qingze might do something irrational, and it will disrupt the harmony within the clan.’

Meanwhile, Tang Xiao was having breakfast with Tang Yin and the others at the Situ Clan’s second residence. He spoke to Xuanyuan Yueyao about Xuanyuan Wenxuan, and she agreed to arrange a meeting with him.

"By the way, Situ Zengyan intends to match Situ Lingxi with Xuanyuan Wenxuan."

Xuanyuan Yueyao momentarily raised an eyebrow. "You don’t need to worry about him, Tang Xiao. I am quite familiar with his character, and he won’t be interested in Situ Lingxi. In fact, he already has a lover, but he has never revealed their relationship to the public, so no one knows."

"Oh?" Tang Xiao was a little surprised. "Who is his lover?"

"One of the three beauties in the Xuanyuan Empire, Zhu Xuan’er, the young miss of the Zhu Clan."

Tang Yin looked at Xuanyuan Yueyao and asked curiously. "Who is the other woman, Sister Yueyao?"

"Why are you only asking about one other woman, Big Sis Yin?" Mu Yan asked, puzzled.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly. "Yan’er, Sister Yueyao is one of the three beauties, so Yin’er only asked the identity of the third woman."

"Oh." Mu Yan nodded. "Big Sis Yueyao is indeed pretty, and she is definitely ranked first among the three beauties."

"Haha," Xuanyuan Yueyao laughed and didn’t refute her. "The other woman is the young miss of the Tian Clan, Tian Xiaoqian. Although she doesn’t have golden aptitude, she is very talented in many ways, and her cultivation is only one minor stage below mine. Unfortunately, she has been mute since birth, and no physician can cure her."

"Please show us their pictures, Big Sis Yueyao."
