As Song's mother watched Song Tangxue leave, she felt dissatisfied: "I knew she would leave early."

“Mother, after much thought, I feel that what Father has done is extremely inappropriate. We should send the child back.”

Song Tangli gave an irrelevant answer, seemingly somewhat embarrassed.

Song's mother immediately noticed something amiss; perhaps something had happened that she was unaware of.

"Did you hear something?" Song's mother asked anxiously.

Song Tangxue seemed somewhat troubled, her brows furrowed and her face showing a conflicted expression.

"Just say what's on your mind. Why should we keep secrets from each other?"

Song's mother became even more anxious and quickly continued speaking.

Song Tangli could only sigh helplessly: "His Highness the Crown Prince specifically reminded me that His Majesty is quite wary of my father now, and many of his former ministers have also been punished as a result."

The fact that Song's father brought his nephew over clearly showed his dissatisfaction and desire for another fight.

Song's mother had never really thought of this; she only thought that it would be good to have another person to rely on.

"Good boy, we're so grateful to have you here today, otherwise we might have really gotten into big trouble."

Song's mother said somewhat belatedly, and even seemed a little scared.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter needed to be decided as soon as possible, and I could no longer stay here in peace.

"No, since that's the case, we need to tell your father as soon as possible to prevent him from causing any further trouble."

After finishing speaking, Song's mother immediately stood up and left without paying any more attention to Song Tangli.

Xiaoyao witnessed the whole thing, and only spoke after making sure no one was around.

"What she did last time already chilled your heart; you shouldn't have told her."

"But we share both honor and disgrace. If we are unlucky again, I'm afraid I will be affected as well."

Song Tangli had thought things through very clearly, which was why she wanted to give her a heads-up.

Song Tangxue was unaware of these things; she was already on the carriage heading back.

Haitang was still thinking about what had just happened. Seeing that she was finally safe, she quickly asked.

"Miss, you just asked me what exactly happened?"

"You don't know this, but some spices, when combined, can fascinate men, and over time you know what happens."

Song Tangxue didn't hide it anymore, but told Haitang directly.

Haitang was truly surprised and immediately covered her mouth in astonishment.

She looked at Song Tangxue in disbelief and quickly said, "That can't be! If we're found out, we'll be in big trouble!"

Although Li Zhaoxian is increasingly dissatisfied with his position as crown prince, he is still a member of the royal family and the apparent heir apparent.

If Song Tangli's schemes were discovered, she would likely be crippled.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Song Tangxue understood why Song Tangli felt this way.

I could guess what she was thinking.

Haitang was still in shock, never expecting that Song Tangli would resort to such unscrupulous means.

"That's quite unexpected. I think we're in for a good show."

After the initial shock, Haitang finally thought of something else.

If Song Tangli gets a taste of success in this matter, she will definitely not be satisfied with the status quo and her appetite will become even bigger.

There might be more and more things to scheme about, eventually leading to risky moves.

Song Tangxue thought the same thing, but she didn't say anything more, instead just smiled calmly.

Whether it was Song Tangli or Li Zhaoxian, they were both her enemies.

Their good days are yet to come, and Song Tangxue will definitely repay them in the best of her ability!

Xie Qianzhong has been quite busy lately, so he could only send someone to deliver a message, which Song Tangxue received as soon as she returned.

"The Prime Minister has made some new things for you and sent his subordinates to deliver them."

"Please don't send any more; it's already piling up."

Song Tangxue spoke with a sense of helplessness, but her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man quickly cupped his hands and said, "This is an order, and I have no choice but to carry it out. The item has already been handed over to the young lady. I will take my leave now."

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry, and he really took the things and left.

Lianzhi came over carrying a box made of red sandalwood and willow: "This is what the master sent. Would you like to take a look at it first?"

"Hmm. This time they've kept a much lower profile, unlike before."

Haitang stood to the side and nodded in approval. At least it wasn't a large box, and it wasn't stuffed all over the yard.

Their daughter's dowry now amounts to more than eighty loads.

Song Tangxue was genuinely curious, but she only opened it to check after returning to her room.

"What beautiful headdresses! And they're all in pairs."

Upon seeing the contents of the box, Haitang exclaimed in surprise.

As she spoke, she leaned closer to observe carefully.

"This servant has never seen such an exquisite design before. Could it have been designed by you, sir?"

When they last went to see Xie Qianzhong, there were several blueprints on his table.

As soon as Song Tangxue entered, Xie Qianzhong was still describing something, but he quickly put it away upon seeing this.

The group didn't think much of it at first, but now it seems to be true.

Song Tangxue smiled happily: "He really is something, he's so busy, yet he still thinks about these things."

He said he was disgusted, but he was actually overjoyed.

"Miss, you seem very happy, so please stop being hypocritical."

Haitang smiled and began to speak, but Lianzhi beside her said something else.

"Then we must prepare a proper return gift. The embroidery is finished, so why don't we start preparing clothes for the master?"

The original plan was to personally sew six sets of clothes for Xie Qianzhong.

Song Tangxue didn't let him know, planning to do it secretly and give him a surprise later.

Now it seems that there is really no time to lose.

“Bring what you’ve prepared, and let’s begin.”

Song Tangxue smiled faintly, but her eyes no longer looked at the jewelry.

She gently closed the box and placed it on the dressing table as if it were a priceless treasure.

Mr. Song also heard the latest news, but he found it hard to accept.

"If that's the case, won't this person have to be sent back very soon?"

"Fortunately, we kept a very low profile at the time, and apart from the people in the mansion, not many people knew about it. Otherwise, once the news got out, even if we sent the person away, His Majesty would probably cause a lot of trouble if he found out."

Song's mother nodded, while also grumbling with lingering fear.

Mr. Song's face was already quite grim; he hadn't expected his plan to fail so abruptly.

"It seems that in this lifetime, I can only be a marquis, with no possibility of promotion!"

He had hoped to rely on his descendants and perhaps receive another official title, but now it seems that the emperor's unfounded suspicions have cut off all his options.
