Wei Changying saw that she was so anxious that her face was pale, and she had no idea at all. He hurriedly asked outside the curtain: "Since Mr. Deng has sent news to the second cousin, what can the second cousin do?"
When Song Zaishui heard the words, he stopped crying and listened hopefully.
The guard said respectfully: "Master Deng said that for the current plan, the young lady must never marry into the royal family. Otherwise, there will be no good results!"
Wei Changying said anxiously: "Does this need to be said? Tell me if my second cousin has any ideas!"
"Master Deng made a plan, but..." the guard hesitated.
Song Zaishui suddenly became angry, slapped several cases fiercely, and said angrily: "How long has it been since then and you are still so wordy?! Since the second brother has a plan and asked Mr. Deng to bring it, why are you hesitating! Even if the idea is risky, After all, it wasn’t your idea!”
The guard had no choice but to say: "Master Deng said that something bad will happen in the womb in a few days. If the young lady returns to the capital at that time, they can spread rumors that the young lady's fate has conflicted with the emperor. Naturally, it is not appropriate for the young lady to do so." Entering the palace."
Guard Chief Ying was startled and said: "You have a bad fate, this reputation..."
"You can't save your life, do you still care about this?" What is Song Zaishui's matter can only be decided by Song Zaishui. She took a deep breath and said, "But this method... can the Holy Spirit believe it?"
The guard smiled bitterly and said: "Master Deng said that as long as the lady arrives in the capital on Zhong Xiaoyi's birthday, someone will do it. I will ensure that the lady does not have to marry into the East Palace!"
Song Zaishui immediately heard the mystery and his eyes narrowed: "Have you ever asked him whether this idea came from my second brother or was it his own intention?"
"Master Deng said that he didn't want to hide it from the young lady. His direct aunt is the noble concubine in the palace."
The captain of the guard groaned: "Honored concubine? You can't believe everything this person says!"
"I know!" Song Zaishui had calmed down at this moment and said with a sneer, "It turns out that the imperial concubine and the queen are at odds - is the imperial concubine trying to undermine the queen?" After concentrating for a moment, the corner of her mouth curled up, "So what? As long as the imperial concubine is I really don’t want me to marry into the East Palace, so it’s natural for everyone to get what they want!”
Wei Changying reminded: "It's hard to say whether the imperial concubine is really at odds with the queen, so she wants to instigate my cousin not to marry into the East Palace. And if the imperial concubine only has this purpose, she may not harm her cousin!"
"I know the imperial concubine can't be trusted either." Song Zaishui nodded, with serious eyes, but said, "But our previous plan obviously didn't work. At least I still have a chance with the imperial concubine. Otherwise, let alone myself, I'm afraid even you I’ll be dragged into the water too!”
She raised her hand to stop what Wei Changying was about to say, "We are cousins, not biological mother and daughter. I have said before that the one who loves you the most is your aunt. If you want to be loyal, you should also think of your aunt first! She hopes How many years did it take to get you as my daughter, my uncle and Changfeng!"
Wei Changying was speechless, and after a long while he said faintly: "Why are things so difficult in this world!"
"Zhong Xiaoyi's birthday is still two months away." Song Zaishui ordered outside the curtain, "Try to find a trustworthy person. First go to the imperial capital and inquire about the Deng family. Pay special attention to the imperial concubine and Deng Zongqi!"
The guard said: "Yes." He added, "Master Deng said that in a few days he will recover from his injuries and may move out or continue to chase his companions. But he left an address outside the city for his subordinates. When the time comes, You can go there to find him.”
"It seems that the matter between the concubine and the queen is no longer a secret." Song Zaishui understood clearly and said to the guard chief Ying, "He managed to live in the front yard this time and forwarded the news to me, but if my aunt and uncle hear this, If something happens, he will definitely be sent away. That’s why he is eager to leave a backup address... This person is shrewd and cautious in his work. After all, he is the legitimate son of the Deng family. "
Wei Changying sighed: "I hope this is a way out, and Concubine Deng should not be too vicious."
"After all, he is the one who came with my second brother's jade pendant." Song Zaishui looked solemn but said in a relaxed tone, "At least my second brother also thinks this is a way out!"
Wei Changying thought for a moment. Although he felt that saying this might break Song Zaishui's fantasy, but the matter was serious, he still said: "Although my cousin said that outsiders don't know about the oriole holding the jade pendant, I think it's better to take those broken jade pieces." Let’s see if it’s the one carved by my second cousin. Because we, rich ladies in a boudoir, Fengzhou and Jiangnan are so far away from the imperial capital. Why should we have any thoughts before the imperial capital comes before us? Got it? I’ll let it go. Many people saw that I was studying martial arts with Jiang Bo, so I couldn’t hide it from anyone. But my cousin’s reluctance could only be told to me in private, or she could just write to my uncle. How could it be leaked? Out? These can be leaked, let alone a jade pendant? "
Song Zaishui was silent for a long time, and then said quietly: "That's right."
- If the oriole holding the jade pendant was not a gift from Song Zaijiang, then the situation of Song Zaishui, or the Song family, would be even more embarrassing.
Even to the point where many secrets cannot be kept...
This also means that Deng Zongqi's credibility is not supported by Song Zaijiang. If Song Zaishui insists on following his plan, God knows what the result will be
But if he ignored this person... Song Zaishui's future would be equally bleak.
This time, after leaving Mingseju, Wei Changying wandered at the intersection for a long time before deciding to look for Mrs. Song.
Seeing her daughter coming, Mrs. Song put down what she was doing and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
"My cousin's old injury is difficult to recover from. If mother still has enough manpower here, let Huaping and the others take care of her alone in Mingse Ju." Wei Changying pondered for a moment and said.
Mrs. Song frowned and glanced around. Mother Shi understood and dismissed everyone except her confidants.
"What happened?"
Wei Changying's eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked up and told the cause and effect.
After hearing this, Mrs. Song was stunned for a long time, and then murmured: "Why is this child so miserable?" Then she suddenly woke up and said angrily, "Repent of the engagement...or regret of the engagement with the royal family, you dare to take care of it? You are so brave!”
"Originally, I thought the prince was not good, and pitied my cousin for his talent and beauty, but in the end there was still a glimmer of hope. After all, my cousin is quite capable, unlike me who only asks my mother to worry about me, and the current empress personally selected her. Princess, even if the prince is not virtuous, my cousin may be able to make the prince better. But if my cousin enters the East Palace now, how can she survive?" Wei Changying pleaded while wiping his tears, "Mother, you are just a niece. Can't you really think of a way? The queen and the prince already have a grudge against this. No matter what happens in the future, not to mention the cousin, the uncle will be dragged down in the future! , isn’t it true that my uncle lost his cousin and supported the East Palace for nothing?”
Mrs. Song was so distraught, her eyes were red, and she said with tears, "What do you know? She is also my direct blood and flesh in the water, how can I not love her? But your uncle... And now even if your uncle has changed his mind, , How can he cancel this marriage just by saying so? Let alone the prince, do you think the Shen family’s marriage can be changed at will? "
Seeing this situation, Aunt Shi hurriedly came to smooth things over. Mrs. Song wiped away her tears, calmed down, and continued, "But you are right. Now it is not a question of whether it is a good time for Zaishui to marry in the East Palace, but Song The family is determined not to lose the only legitimate daughter of this generation and be hated by the queen and the prince!"
She raised her head and told Aunt Shi, "Yanmo, I want to write a letter to my father! When did my daughter from the Song family fall to the point where she wanted to rely on the Deng family instead of rejecting the marriage?!"
When it comes to the safety and future of the Song family, Mrs. Song has no intention of getting entangled with Song Yuwang, who has always been determined to marry her daughter Yinuo into the royal family. Besides, Fengzhou is very far from the imperial capital and much closer to Jiangnan.
Song Xinping, the head of the Song family and Duke Duanhui, was not accustomed to the conditions and conditions of the imperial capital. After Song Yu hoped to be able to take charge of his own affairs, he returned to Jiangnan Hall with his old wife to sit in charge. He is still in the hall now. Song Xinping attaches great importance to the interests of the Song family. He has always disliked Song Zaishui and did not want to marry into the royal family. It is not that Song Xinping approves of having a princess in the family or thinks that the prince is not bad. What he cares about is that Song Zaishui does not marry and the Song family in Jiangnan reputation will be damaged.
Precisely because Song Xinping supported Song Yuwang and insisted that Song Zaishui fulfill his promise, the old lady of the Song family felt sorry for her granddaughter, but was unable to protect her.
But compared with the reputation of the Song family, Song Xinping would definitely not do anything that would not please her granddaughter or even make a grudge.
Song Xinping is known as a man who promises a thousand pieces of gold and is famous throughout the country for his trustworthy actions, but he is not a fool - otherwise, how could he convince the public when he is in charge of Jiangnan Hall? The most important thing for the leader of a clan is to be able to revitalize the family and safeguard the interests of the Song family. It is not just about being a noble person and setting an example for the world.
As the legitimate daughter of Song Xinping, Mrs. Song didn't know that her father's hard-earned reputation as Chongxin was only for the benefit of the Song family.
Now that the Song family has been resented by the queen and the prince, this cannot be solved by continuing to marry Song Zaishui. In this case, why bother adding a granddaughter? Anyway, the feud is over, why not look at Concubine Deng... If there is a chance, simply let the incident between Queen Qian and her son happen again, and completely eliminate any future troubles, then you can rest assured!
Wei Changying secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his mother acting like this. He thought that it was indeed the right thing to confess to his mother. Although his grandmother was also his cousin's great-aunt, she was still far away. My mother is my cousin's biological aunt, so I always love my cousin more... If it weren't for my mother, I wouldn't be able to tell what my grandfather would do.
Grandfather can always intimidate uncle more than grandmother, right? You have more ideas than your uncle, right? My grandfather was extremely shrewd and powerful. I expected that my grandfather's identity would be similar to his own, and his skills in the city would not be much different.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not forget to explain her words: "My cousin is frightened now. I'm afraid that my cousin will not be able to think about it... Before, my cousin only thought that if she ruined her appearance, she wouldn't have to marry into the Eastern Palace. But now I'm afraid I have the will to die so as not to drag down the Song family!"
If he hadn't thought of this, for fear of an irreversible tragedy, Wei Changying would not have confessed everything to his mother like this.
Mrs. Song sighed deeply and said: "I understand... Nanny Shi, please go to Mingse Juli to take care of this child in person, and enlighten her by the way." She also told Wei Zhangying, "Don't talk to you about this in advance. Grandma said, especially Deng Zongqi."
"I know." Wei Changying nodded.
Mrs. Song is not afraid of dragging the Wei family into trouble, but now the Song family is in crisis. As the daughter of the Song family, she was cherished by her parents and grew up, so she always wants to help the family. But if Wei Huan and Mrs. Song knew about it, they would definitely cut through the mess quickly and disassociate themselves from the matter as quickly as possible.
In this case, Deng Zongqi will definitely be "invited" out of Ruiyu Hall or even Fengzhou. Mrs. Song said that the Song family's daughter wanted to refuse the marriage and did not need the Deng family's help, but the matter was in a hurry, and she didn't know whether Song Xinping could be there. Come up with a solution in a short time. If it really doesn't work, the Deng family can still be used as a way out.
If Song Zaishui was the only one, she would consider being tricked by Concubine Deng, but if the Song family and the Deng family joined forces, Concubine Deng might not dare to murder Song Zaishui. After all, the Song family is one of the six clans. Even if it encounters a blow, or even the destruction of the family, or a near-death blow, it is not something that the Deng family can handle. If Concubine Deng didn't hate the entire family to the core, she would never replace Song Zaishui in the Song family. It was not good for Song Zaishui when he came forward.
Moreover, since Concubine Deng sent her nephew to Fengzhou before Song Yuwang could react, she obviously had information in the palace that even Song Yuwang didn't know.
What's more, the Song family will regret their marriage and be wary of Empress Gu and the Crown Prince's methods. As long as Concubine Deng is really at odds with the Empress, with her position second only to the Empress and the direct cousin of the Holy Emperor, she can do anything in the palace. Form a check on the queen.
… These are of course mostly for the Song family. Mrs. Song’s surname is Song after all. (To be continued)
