Reborn to Marry a Treacherous Official, I Won't Be This Crown Princess Anymore

In her previous life, Song Tangxue, the true daughter of the Right Minister, was swapped at birth. When she was finally found, her entire family despised her.

She finally managed to reclaim h...

Chapter 357 Obvious Pattern

She had witnessed firsthand how crazy Song Tangli could be.

It's even clearer that once she becomes ruthless and insane, no one can stand against her.

What if, in a fit of rage, more people are harmed?

"You're already overthinking things. Things haven't reached that point yet, so we just need to press the button."

Xie Qianzhong spoke up, but Song Tangxue was extremely upset.

"I know you're trying to say something to cheer me up, but I really can't calm down. Don't talk to me yet."

Song Tangxue said with a sense of helplessness that she was afraid that if she continued talking, the two of them might start arguing.

Xie Qianzhong wanted to say something more, but he could tell that Song Tangxue was serious.

However, talking about some things too much might only make people more upset and agitated.

"Okay, you can talk to me anytime you want, okay?"

Xie Qianzhong could only say this in the end, and Song Tangxue knew that was the only way, so she nodded and said nothing more.

That night, Song Tangxue was naturally filled with many thoughts, but that couldn't affect what they were going to do the next day.

“I was reluctant to go back to my parents’ home before, and now I hate it even more.”

Song Tangxue said this directly while eating breakfast, and Xie Qianzhong could only speak.

"Didn't you previously plan to use this opportunity to test the waters and see what progress would be made?"

Song Tangxue was immersed in her own troubles, but upon hearing these words, she remembered her previous plans.

"I had forgotten about it because of this whole thing, but it's good to go, maybe we'll find something."

Left with no other choice, Song Tangxue could only give this answer, and Haitang was also in a bad mood.

But seeing the young lady like this made me feel even worse.

“We will naturally investigate everything, but please don’t overthink it; it will only make you more agitated.”

"You stay here today to take care of Lianzhi, and at the same time urge them to find out as soon as possible who has been dishonest."

Upon hearing Haitang speak, Song Tangxue immediately made arrangements for the next steps.

Song Tangxue entrusted the task to others because she didn't trust them, and the only person she could rely on was Haitang.

Haitang readily agreed, "This servant will stay, but it's getting late. You should finish your breakfast quickly and go. I'll take care of Lianzhi; there won't be any problems."

She almost swore on it with her own life, but she was afraid that saying it would only make the situation seem more serious.

Song Tangxue was already in a bad mood, and this was too cruel for a newlywed lady.

Hearing Haitang say this, Song Tangxue simply nodded and didn't say anything more.

She has already left the medicine; all that's needed is for Lianzhi to take it on time.

The two set off quickly, and Song Tangli had gotten up very early today, just so she could come and flatter them.

"Look at you, child! What kind of situation are you in now that you've come so early!"

Song's mother was doing her hair when Song Tangli unexpectedly appeared beside her.

Song Tangli listened to her mother's scolding, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she responded with her signature obedient smile.

"On the day of my sister's wedding, I was a little worried about Du Zhong's child, fearing that there would be too many guests and it would be disruptive. Later, I heard from His Highness that the day was packed with people, so I was glad I didn't go. But today, as I am returning to my parents' home, I absolutely cannot be absent, so I must arrive early."

Song's mother smiled helplessly, as if she had no way to deal with Song Tangli.

"My child, you always put family first, and I'm so proud of you,"

At the very least, Song Tangli has always excelled in everything she's done since she was a child, and she's never embarrassed her.

In contrast, Song Tangxue is truly incomparable.

In Song's mother's eyes, Song Tangxue was a heartless scoundrel.

“This is all as it should be. A family should be like this. Besides, the daughter doesn’t want outsiders to give her opinions, as that would only make things difficult for her parents.”

Song Tangli spoke gently, and her mother was naturally gratified: "It's good that you're here; even when I'm old, I'll have someone to rely on..."

As she spoke, even her tone became much more emotional.

Little did they know that Song Tangli was extremely hypocritical, and although they deeply loathed her, she pretended to be exceptionally filial on the surface.

"You raised me when I was young, I will take care of you when you are old."

"Good boy."

The mother and daughter were enacting a heartwarming scene here, which Song Tangxue could easily guess without even thinking.

She sat in the carriage and spoke with remarkable certainty.

"I'm afraid they're just whispering in my ear again, and when I get there, they'll just give me a barrage of sarcastic remarks."

If it weren't for Lianzhi's affair, Song Tangxue would have been full of fighting spirit today, playing psychological warfare with them.

But now, I especially despise them.

"Perhaps I will restrain myself a bit more, but I still have to maintain appearances."

Xie Qianzhong disagreed, even though they had been sown apart by the emperor because of their status in the court.

But this family wouldn't be so foolish as to openly turn against them.

Song Tangxue noticed that Xie Qianzhong, who was usually extremely clever, was acting silly today, and immediately reminded him.

"You think they rely on you the most, but don't forget, there's also the Crown Princess who's pregnant with twins!"

Song Tangxue analyzed Xie Qianzhong's situation with increasing seriousness.

“Back when Song Tangli was at her lowest point, of course they would stay away. But now that she has two children by her side, in the eyes of outsiders, she is an unshakeable force.”

If a crown princess were to give birth to a child with such an auspicious omen, her position as empress would be secure, and even her child would receive special attention.

Is it better to become the maternal grandfather of the future emperor, or to curry favor with Xie Qianzhong, who is a subject, and take advantage of him?

Mr. Song has always been the most materialistic person, and he and Mrs. Song are of one mind, so it's obvious how they made their choice.

Xie Qianzhong listened to Song Tangxue's analysis and found that she spoke very logically and clearly.

"You know what, it's true, I was too presumptuous this time, and it's probably true in most cases what you said."

Song Tangxue nodded in satisfaction and then said, "Want to make a bet with me and see if they will do the same thing later?"

"The result is already quite obvious, I'm not going to let you get the better deal."

Xie Qianzhong smiled slyly and spoke.

And you know what? Xie Qianzhong's prediction came true this time.

Although I don't like dealing with them, I prepared an exceptionally generous gift for the return visit, and on the surface, I naturally wanted to make sure that no one could find fault with it.

Song Tangxue and Xie Qianzhong entered, followed by many servants who held gifts wrapped in large red paper.

Surprisingly, no one came to greet them; only the butler hurried over.

"Madam is preparing the banquet in the back, which has caused a delay. I hope Miss will not be angry."

He quickly said, "Such a lame excuse, it's obviously fake."

Song Tangxue simply nodded without saying anything, and was led by the butler to the reception room.

Her status has changed again; from now on, when she returns here, she will truly only be a guest!
