Early the next morning, Song Zaishui came over to ask about not returning to the imperial capital, and he had some clues. Wei Changying was forcefully shaken awake by her. He was talking incoherently for a long time before he came back to his senses. He said angrily: "Last night, my grandfather told me not to disturb me. I didn't go to my grandparents' place. What can I say to my grandmother?"
Seeing Song Zaishui's disappointment, Wei Changying yawned lazily and said, "But I mentioned it to my mother during dinner. My mother said she would write a letter to discuss with my uncle to dissolve the marriage."
Hearing the words "disband this marriage", Song Zaishui's eyes suddenly lit up, he jumped up to hug her with cheers and exclaimed, "What a great winner! You are really the savior of my life!"
Seeing her like this, Wei Changying was frightened and said hurriedly: "But my mother didn't say it would definitely happen. I don't dare to give you this guarantee."
"What? That's just what you mentioned?" Song Zaishui turned around like he was flipping through a book and said angrily, "My Taoist aunt has a perfect plan! You didn't explain it clearly, which made me happy in vain!"
Wei Changying said: "Oh, look at how you are crossing the river and destroying the bridge. After all, my mother is my uncle's equal, so she can have some hope?"
Song Zaishui sneered and said: "What are the common people? Let me tell you, I begged my grandmother as early as when I was in Jiangnan. My grandmother made people inquire about the situation of the East Palace, and she also wrote a letter to my father, tentatively proposing that the prince It's so useless that even if I become the crown prince, it may not be of any benefit to the Song family! But my father refused! Otherwise, why would I want to live in Jiangnan? My great-aunt and aunt didn't treat me well, but while I was living here, my father kept urging me one letter after another, which inevitably put my great-aunt and aunt in a dilemma."
Wei Changying was shocked when he heard this and said: "How could this happen?" She originally thought that the old lady of the Song family also approved of Song Zaishui being the crown princess, so Song Zaishui could only live in Fengzhou, but she did not expect that the old lady of the Song family was also sympathetic. But it was Song Yuwang who wanted to go his own way.
It is said that Song Yuwang's current official position is that of Sikong, a first-class official, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking minister. Even if his daughter becomes the queen, the benefits he can get are very limited. From the perspective of the Jiangnan Song family, the current head of the clan, Song Xinping, is the father of Song Yuwang. Song Xinping, like Mrs. Song, suffered from the pain of losing a child. He and his descendants only had one son and three daughters who survived to adulthood.
As Song Xinping's only son and legitimate son, Song Xinping's honors of Shangzhu, the hereditary title of Duan Huigong, including the position of clan leader, would all belong to Song Yuwang in the future. In this case, there was no need for Song Yuwang to send his daughter to the palace as compensation.
After all, the other five clans are not so easy to exclude, especially now that the world is becoming chaotic, and the status of the Shen family, Liu family, and Su family who control the military has been subtly improved. The Duanmu family and the Wei family are increasing their marriages with these three families. Song Yuwang has only one daughter, Song Zaishui, so why should she marry into these three families instead of sending her to the palace to look at the scenery? However, once the queen falls out of favor, she will surely Follow the disgraced Crown Princess.
What's more, Song Yuwang and his wife Wei were very affectionate. Their two sons and one daughter were all legitimate children, and Song Zaishui was the youngest. No matter how you looked at it, Song Yuwang had no reason to push his daughter into the fire pit.
Wei Changying couldn't figure it out, and Song Zaishui couldn't figure it out even more. In her memory, her father Song Yuwang was a gentle and elegant man who was always patient with his children. Especially for his own daughter, he has always been indulgent and doting, but Song Yuwang was extremely insistent on marrying into the East Palace. Even Song Zaishui was desperate and threatened to die when writing a letter, but Song Yuwang could not shake Song Yuwang's determination.
After thinking about it, I can only explain it as Song Yu's hope.
If it's about other things, Song Zaishui is not someone who talks nonsense. However, this was a life-long event, and she was not one of those who pursued wealth, so how could she just accept her fate
Wei Changying's fiancé Shen Zangfeng, whom he had settled down with since his infancy, was still a highly respected and outstanding young man in the imperial capital! Worried that he came from a prosperous Wei family and had nothing to do with Shen Zangfeng, who had a martial arts heritage, Wei Changying, who was easily bullied, was so uneasy that he studied martial arts diligently.
Compared to Song Zaishui, who was thoughtful and thoughtful, Wei Changying was considered careless and worked so hard for his married life. How could Song Zaishui, who was so dissolute that his life was in danger at any time, give up on saving himself
Song Zaishui said with a gloomy face: "If it doesn't work out, I have no choice but to destroy my appearance! I would rather be ridiculed as cowardly in the future than..."
"Cousin, don't worry!" Seeing that she was getting more and more narrow-minded, Wei Changying hurriedly reassured her, "Maybe I'll go talk to grandma... see if grandma has any ideas?"
Song Zaishui sighed and said, "Okay."
- He said he was going to ask Mrs. Song for advice, but in fact there was not much hope. The reason why Song Zaishui stayed in the Wei family for so long has been told to Wei Changying several times in private. Although they deliberately avoided the servants every time, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Song were so shrewd that they didn't know where they were.
Although he didn't drive her away directly, the letters he received from Song Yuwang repeatedly reminded Song Zaishui implicitly that he should follow his father's order and go north as soon as possible. It can be seen that my great-aunt and aunt are either helpless or don't want to get too involved in the Song family's affairs. After all, even though their surname is Song, they are now married into the Wei family and become the wives of the Wei family. They have children to worry about, so how can they plan to treat themselves as their biological daughters? What's more, his father Song Yuwang was so determined that even his grandmother couldn't stop him...
So when Wei Changying went to talk to him, he would probably be ignored.
Song Zaishui thought in his heart: "If this continues, sooner or later, my father will send a letter directly to the guards. If they use force, it will be difficult for the Wei family to take care of the Song family's affairs... From now on, there will be no hairpins that have been sharpened." The hairpin sleeve is good. I am the direct daughter of the Song family. Even if my appearance is ruined, with my status and dowry, it is no problem to marry a man from another prominent family who is far away from poverty. In any case, it is better than marrying someone like Dong Gong. goods!"
She was secretly swearing here. Wei Changying rushed to the upper room and entered the door. He noticed that there were fewer servants around, and those who were there were basically Mrs. Song's confidants.
Chen Ruping even moved a small stick and blocked the door personally. When she saw the guard chief Ying coming, she got up quickly and said, "Why is the eldest lady here? Unfortunately, the old lady is tired now and ordered not to disturb her!"
Before Wei Changying could speak, he suddenly heard an angry shout from Mrs. Song inside, even though she could hear it clearly through the door and window: "You care about Wei Shengyi's children, but Zheng Hong's flesh and blood are no longer human beings?!"
… Wei Changying and Chen Ruping looked at each other with embarrassed looks on their faces. Lufang and Luqi, who followed Wei Changying, immediately looked at the sky and the ground, almost covering their ears.
Apart from Wei Huan, there is no one else in Ruiyu Hall who can ask Mrs. Song to send away the idlers and keep the noise behind closed doors.
Wei Changying didn't expect that she would catch her grandparents quarreling. She was about to run away, but she didn't want to hear Mrs. Song continue to speak loudly: "I won't tell you more, Ruiyu Hall cannot be alone in the court, then Okay, Wei Shengyi can continue to stay in the court as an official, but Chang Yun and Chang Sui must come back!"
"What do I want to do?! This scumbag won't let go of him even if he's away from me for a moment! I want to see if he still has some humanity left besides the evil heart of scheming his brother-in-law. Can he put the two of them together? A legitimate son should not be treated like a human being!" Mrs. Song paused, and Wei Huan seemed to have spoken. The old lady shouted, "I won't talk to you! All in all, Chang Ying and Chang Feng are fine. It's just a little thing. If he dares to do anything, these two little things won't be able to live well! Do you really think that his wings are weak now that he is far away from the imperial capital? I can't do anything to them now? If you dare to bully the big house like this, with Zheng Hong's body, wouldn't it mean that if I die today, this cruel thing will be sent to the ground to find me tomorrow? Yes, they are all your sons! , they all called me mother, but the only one I gave birth to was Zheng Hong! Back then, I lost several children in infancy, but for the sake of your heirs, I had to bear the pain of taking concubines for you, and now you are treating my only biological son like this. ? ! Do you have any conscience?! Who is the legitimate son? Co-author Ruona Lu still wants to get on top of me?"
"Shut up you old thing!"
There were sounds of breaking porcelain in the house, and it sounded like something had been thrown. Mrs. Song was obviously very angry—
"Even before Chang Ying was born, I could see that he was cruel! I was rushing to put my son in Zheng Hong's name. Why? Isn't it because I just hope that Zheng Hong will have no children and leave Ruiyu Hall here? It would be better if he takes all the benefits! In the end, it’s so pitiful that Jing Dafang will not lose his incense. Will Chang Ying and Chang Feng be regarded as a thorn in his side? Chang Ying is a girl, and it is said that there is nothing that can hinder her. Now I'm thinking of cheating on you in the marriage! Don't talk about Changfeng!" Mrs. Song said sharply, "Shut up! You deserve to be punished from now on! If anything bad happens to Chang Ying Chang Feng, I will blame it all on the Second Fang! If you dare to speak for the Second Fang again, I will fight with you!"
Accompanied by Mrs. Song's last angry shout, a loud bang was heard in the room - as if a very heavy object had been pushed over.
Wei Changying secretly wiped his cold sweat and asked Chen Ruping in a low voice: "Mom, grandma..." She knew that her grandmother had a strong temperament, but Wei Huan was also the leader of a clan, so how could he control his old wife? Why don't you retaliate when you scold and curse like this
Hearing this news, could it be that Wei Huan couldn't bear it anymore and took action against Mrs. Song
Chen Ruping had wanted to drive Wei Changying away before, but was afraid of being embarrassed by Wei Huan and Mrs. Song inside, so he quickly raised his index finger and pressed his lips to signal her to be silent. He looked back and was still worried. He closed the door and listened for a moment, then pulled Wei Changying and hid behind the flower tree nearby. Fang whispered: "Good lady, please leave quickly. No one should say anything about what happened today, so as not to embarrass the clan leader... Just Pretend you haven’t been here!”
Wei Changying couldn't help but said: "The noise just now was very loud, and it disappeared after grandma... But grandma... isn't it good?"
"... No way." Chen Ruping wanted to say something but held back, and said with a strange expression, "The old lady is fine, but the Valve Master... Well, the Valve Master is fine too. Miss, let's go. The old lady will call someone. If she knows that the eldest lady is outside, wouldn't it mean that she would feel uncomfortable even if she said this? "
Wei Changying glanced at her suspiciously, thought for a moment and then said: "Okay, I'll leave first."
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she sent Lu Fang and Lu Qi back. When she was alone, Wei Changying looked around with her hands behind her back and confirmed that no one was there. She slightly curled her lips - she lifted up her skirt and faced the two-foot-high courtyard wall. She didn't need to run for a run, she jumped up lightly and stepped on the wall. , walked a few steps sideways, stretched out his arms to rest on the wall, exerted force on his waist, and suddenly flipped up!
