There was not only one mother like Wei Mengying who hoped her daughter to strive to make progress. Now, in the Cui Family’s house, Cui Jianlian’s mother, Madam Cheng, was complaining to her husband, Cui Ziyu, “I didn’t mean to speak ill of our nephew, but how can Guanlun do that? Instead of siding with his cousin who grows up with him, he chose to speak for the drag of his stepmother! How can he not consider why Jianlian keeps visiting the prince’s residence regardless of the rumors?”
“So isn’t it nice that Jianlian comes to his sense due to this?” Cui Ziyu said peacefully, “The crown prince has had any side concubine by far. Prince of Liang and Jianlian are about the same age. These two young men are both the blood children of the noble consort. Her Highness is fond of Jianlian. As long as our daughter stops chasing Guanlun, she will surely pave the way for her if we give her a hint.”
He had thought of that before, “Guanlun is our nephew but considering th
“You want to marry me to Liu Zhiyin?” Song Yixiao dropped the tea bowl on the ground, which was broken before her feet. The hot tea splashed on the back of her feet but she didn’t feel the scald at all. She stared at her father in anger, “Madam Liu’s nephew, Liu Zhiyin?”Before she arrived, she had been well prepared but she never thought of that Song Yuan would marry her to someone of the Liu Family!The man was Liu Zhiyin!He was the man who caused her wrongful death in the previous life!Song Yuan gave a look of annoyance to her emotional reaction, “How can you talk to a senior like this?”“Please ease your anger!” Liu Zhenxi walked from behind the screen with a peaceful look, saying with a sigh, “As my sister has done that kind of thing, it is fair enough that your daughter dislikes my son!”“Since you know yourself well, you may as well drop the thought of taking me as your daughter-in-law!” Song Yixi
Hearing that, if Song Yixiao still couldn’t figure out why the misfortune happened to her today, she could kill herself then, “It must be Madam Jin! I am sure of it!”The news that the mastiffs went to the prince’s mansion was blocked deliberately. Now it had only been a few days since it happened. Without the people of the Prince’s mansion leaking the news, Song Yuan and Liu Zhenxi would never know about it and even the matter that Song Yixiao’s ankle was sprained again for it.Song Yixiao recalled that the father of Madam Jin was Director in the Ministry of Personnel, who was in charge of official personnel promotion. If she was crippled and married to Liu Zhiyin, the Liu Family’s ruined reputation would be directly remedied. Despite that, what good did it do to the Song Family?It must be because the Jin Family promised to help him rise that Song Yuan agreed on the proposed marriage.Otherwise, even if he resented his daughter v
The next day, as expected, Song Yixiao’s request to meet her grandma was turned down. “Her elder ladyship hears that your ankle has been sprained so she is rather worried about you. She demands that you rest in the Xieyue Villa first and then serve her when you are recovered!”As her ankle sprain was mentioned again, Song Yixiao had a deep feeling of risk, “My relationship with Jian Xubai is not as deep as I mentioned yesterday! Once Liu Zhenxi and father finds out the truth, I will be doomed! Hence, I must meet her as soon as possible!”She calmed herself down and said to the maid who came to deliver the message, “I come back here in order to serve my grandma. How can I not visit her because of some insignificant illness of mine? There is no such thing in the world!”“I will convey your filial intention to her elder ladyship.” The maid said at ease, “But this time, her elder ladyship is sick in bed because she worries too much. If she sees you
While Song Yixiao was lost in thought, Madam Pang was also complaining about her son, “I doubt if that woman has been prepared, but it is not confirmed yet, is it? You just let go of someone to send the message. What if that woman actually knows nothing? In that case, we will help her get away instead.”“If Wei Mengying finds out our intention, the result will be the same whether I let the guard go back to send the message.” Song Yuan just came back, whose face took on a tired expression. He uttered plainly with hidden impatience, “If Wei Mengying doesn’t, what do you think she will do?”Before Madam Pang answered, he said, “Mother, Yixiao is one of our family. Why did she live under the roof of the Prince of Hengshan?”Madam Pang said confusedly, “It was because Madam Cao came to our home and made a fuss. I don’t want you to be bothered about it. Given that she is a trouble, we could have some peace after she was expelled!”“Yixia
In the drawing room, Yuan Xue’e, a ten-year-old girl, was sitting alone with her hand holding a tea bowl, praying in secret, “I wish this Miss Song is an easy-going person!”She and Song Yixiao entered Prince of Hengshan’s mansion on the same day but they never met with each other.Today, she was asked to pay her a visit by her brother Yuan Xuepei. “We are relatives of the prince, but our grandma and uncle both have their own lineal descendants. In this case, how much concern do you expect they can show for us? As a result, you shall not treat Auntie Wei impolitely.” Said Yuan Xuepei.That was to say, they would rather turn to the person-in-charge than rely on those of high status.Yuan Xue’e always listened to her brother so she certainly followed his advice accordingly.Yet, she was used to being bullied by her step-grandma and uncle when she was in the house of Marquis Boling, so she was inevitably anxious and fearf
Song Yixiao sank into deep thought for a long time, but finally did not have the heart to pretend to be confused, and decided to do what she can do.Of course, she couldn’t say it directly like “My lord, when you been there, you must follow the Commander-in-Chief’s order. If you really want to scramble for contributions, don’t do it the way that will kill you.” If she said it like this, Jian Xubai might let it go, but his soldiers around wouldn’t stand people being such disrespectful to their lord.Therefore, she could only remind Jian Xubai implicitly that the war was risky, and he should be cautions when kill his enemy.Tasks like going deep into the enemy camp alone, and cutting off the head of the chief of their enemy...As a well-experienced veteran, even Duke of Ji did not mention those tasks, those baby nobles should be more practical and realistic.“Don’t worry, I won’t fight on the field this time at all. My g
Because Marquis Boling--Yuan Xuepei was carried back to the imperial capital.After receiving the news, Yuan Xue’e returned back to Marquis Boling’s mansion by riding without changing her clothes. When she arrived at Marquis Boling’s mansion, Jian Xubai had asked the Commissioner of the Imperial Academy of Medicine to treat Yuan Xuepei. But the result was a bolt from the blue for Yuan Xue’e, “His knees were broken at all, and I have no way to save his knees!”That was to say, Yuan Xuepei, who was only 20 years old and had not yet married or appointed an official, couldn’t stand up in his whole life!After confirming the result from the Commissioner repeatedly, Yuan Xue’e was shocked!It’s not until Jian Xubai sent the Commissioner and the elders of the Yuan Family who came to gloat over away that Yuan Xue’e came back from the trance, and then she asked the reason with tears, “Didn’t you say that Wuhuan dare not beat you? How could
Song Yixiao didn’t know about the vicious scheme that Ms. Bo conceived for Wei Mengying. Yet, after she returned to the Hanxia Villa, she still had a lingering fear, “I was afraid that the heir selection of Prince of Hengshan wouldn’t go smoothly. Now the mess is finally starting. Today, I have dodged a bullet by crying but if mother makes up her mind, she will find a way to force me!”She thought with a heavy heart, “I cannot stay in Prince of Hengshan’s mansion anymore! Or I will be dragged into a mess sooner or later! But the Song Family is not a good choice either! If I want to be free, I can only get married!”However, her marriage was at the disposal of Wei Mengying!“I had better deal with Xue’e first.” Song Yixiao pondered back and forth and had no other choice but to play by ear. Thinking of paying a visit to Yuan Xue’e the next day, she couldn’t help sighing that Yuan Xue’e had only a brother four years older than her but he was much
