"I forgot to tell you about Song Yuhui. That day, Grand Tutor Song sincerely wanted him to marry into the Wu family, but the Wu family wanted Song Yuhui to be their concubine, which angered Grand Tutor Song. He ordered Madam Song to buy a courtesan and sent Song Yuhui away that same day."

On the day of the wedding, Wu Feitao saw that the person was not Song Yuhui, and that's when he started making a scene.

The Wu family had already taken the matter to the Song family, but unexpectedly, Grand Tutor Song insisted that the person was Song Yuhui and threatened the Wu family with the fact that the three sons of the Wu family were running a gambling den.

The Wu family then lowered their heads and swallowed their anger…

Jiang Segu was stunned. She wondered what was going on, but it turned out that the Song family was cheating!

"Then why did the Song family have Song Yuhui impersonate Song Yurong?"

Seeing that she was willing to respond, Gu Songhan felt relieved and replied, "The Song family wants to use Song Yuhui to win over Prince Jing'an!"

ah?

Jiang Segu was even more surprised!

She thought that only her uncle would do something like selling his daughter for a price, but she never expected that the Song family, known for its poetry, literature, and etiquette, would do such a thing.

Seeing her stunned expression with her mouth slightly open, he knew she was surprised by Song Taifu's actions.

"Actually, you don't need to be so surprised. Not to mention our dynasty, even looking back at several dynasties, even a princess of a country had to be married off to a foreign ruler, let alone a girl from a small Grand Tutor's mansion."

Hearing Gu Songhan speak so casually, Jiang Segu had no choice but to admit what he said, while at the same time being annoyed by it.

"Deputy Commander Gu makes it sound so easy. Are we women born to be sacrificed?"

Gu Songhan's lips twitched slightly. Sure enough, whatever he said was wrong. It was better not to say anything!

Then, he looked at Qiaohe for help.

Qiaohe silently covered her eyes.

The son-in-law still has to rely on Qiaohe!

"Deputy Commander Gu, I have a question."

"Go ahead and ask!"

Gu Songhan spoke those two words quickly and urgently, which once again aroused Jiang Segu's dissatisfaction.

Qiaohe sighed deeply, thinking to herself that her son-in-law's alliance was really terrible!

Why did the Song family send the second daughter of the Song family to impersonate the third daughter of the Song family in order to win over Prince Jing'an?

Why? Naturally, it's because Grand Tutor Song looked down on Prince Jing'an's background!

How could someone who came from a bandit background compare to the Song family, who were known for their poetry, literature, and etiquette!

However, the Song family is currently out of favor with the emperor and needs to consolidate its power. Coincidentally, Prince Jing'an has been summoned to the capital. However, the reputation of the second young lady of the Song family is already ruined. Even if she is kept, she will not be able to contribute anything to the Song family in the future. It would be better to use her to win over Prince Jing'an, whom they do not think highly of, which can be considered as doing a good job for the Song family.

Gu Songhan dared not say these words, lest he upset the young girl again.

Gu Songhan carefully chose his words and said, "It was Song Yuhui's own request. She was unwilling to be a concubine and would never have the opportunity to appear in public again."

This doesn't mean Gu Songhan lied.

According to what Wen Dong inquired about, Grand Tutor Song gave Song Yu Hui three options: one was to become Wu Fei Tao's concubine; another was to change her appearance, stay away for a while, and then return to the capital as a cousin of the Song family to participate in the imperial concubine selection the following year; and the last option was to become Song Yu Rong to win over Prince Jing An.

Song Yuhui was proud and arrogant, and naturally did not want to be a concubine.

As for participating in the talent show, she naturally didn't want to.

It wasn't that she looked down on the Emperor, but rather that she feared he wouldn't approve of her. After all, so many women participated in the imperial concubine selection every year, and she was merely a cousin of the Grand Tutor's family; she was afraid she wouldn't be well-received in the palace.

When Song Yuhui heard from Grand Tutor Song that Prince Jing'an was only over thirty and had no children, she thought that if she could give birth to a son for Prince Jing'an, and with her status, she would definitely be able to squeeze out the aging and faded Princess Jing'an and become the princess herself.

That's why Song Yuhui chose to become Song Yurong.

That's why the scene at Fahua Temple happened.

Jiang Segu felt nauseous thinking about what he had seen at Fahua Temple that morning.

Qiaohe also remembered what happened that morning, and without thinking, she told Gu Songhan what she had seen.

"No wonder I ran into Prince Jing'an rushing into the palace when I left. At first I wondered what was wrong, but I didn't expect it was for this!"

Jiang Segu thought that Song Yuhui would climb up to Prince Jing'an and would definitely seek revenge in the future, so he said to Gu Songhan, "Could you write down the detailed deeds of Prince Jing'an and the past of his family for me?"

Gu Songhan nodded in agreement. He already had a booklet containing all the information about Prince Jing'an, but before he could speak, Qiaolian returned.

“Miss, I asked a few of the wives who are on good terms with Li Xu’s family, and they said that Hou Mama caught a cold and took leave the day after the incident.”

What a coincidence!

Jiang Segu had a plan in mind, so he sent Qiaolian with Qingying, who was dressed in Hou Mama's clothes, and Granny Lai to Li Xu's house.

Gu Songhan stood there waiting for Jiang Segu to finish explaining things, and then, taking advantage of what had happened earlier, said, "I'll go back and get you the booklet right away!"

"It's getting late, don't bother going back and forth. I'll have Qinghong go back with you to get it!"

Upon hearing Jiang Segu's concern for him, Gu Songhan seized the opportunity and asked, "Are you still angry with me?"

Seeing his posture of staying there and refusing to leave if he dared to say anything and still got angry, Jiang Segu was both annoyed and amused.

She knew she was being a bit unreasonable, but today, perhaps because of her eldest sister's matter, she was already feeling annoyed. Seeing her second sister dressed as a dancer and approaching Gu Songhan, she was truly furious!

She didn't know whether she was angry at her second sister's lack of resistance, angry at her own powerlessness, or angry that even someone as capable as Gu Songhan had to put on an act.

Jiang Segu did not answer. Gu Songhan's heart trembled. He wanted to express his feelings, but fate had other plans, and Jiang Youhui arrived.
