Chapter 6 Yuru Gets Married

Song Yuning has no objection to establishing good relationships with these four sisters. After all, everyone is in the same boat.

Presumably, the other four also hold the same idea, which is why they can live in harmony. It is completely different from what is described in other novels, with jealousy, intrigue, and other behaviors.

Because they don't need to fight, the most important thing at the moment is to constantly improve themselves, so as to gain enough chips for themselves and then find an ideal husband.

Otherwise, their fate would be like that of their third sister Song Yuru, who was given away as a favor.

After returning to the yard, Nanny Chen mentioned to her that she would be buying dowry for the third young lady tomorrow. Song Yuning then asked Yue Jian to take out her pair of dough fans.

"This is an embroidery I made in my spare time. I feel it's pretty good. I wonder if it's appropriate to give it to my third sister?" Song Yuning took out a double-sided fan and showed it to Nanny Chen.

Nanny Chen was deeply surprised by this. Double-sided embroidery is very hard to come by outside. Even if the skills are not very sophisticated, it is really quite decent to use it as a dowry gift.

"In that case, Madam Chen, please keep it carefully and send it to Third Sister early tomorrow morning." Song Yuning said to Madam Chen.

Nanny Chen responded, took the double-sided fan with both hands and retreated.

Xuetuan and Xuerong had already made the bed for Song Yuning and ordered water. They helped Song Yuning wash up in an orderly manner.

Song Yuning smiled and asked the two: "How long have you two sisters been serving in the mansion? Are you from outside?"

Xuerong smiled and said, "My father and mother are both from the mansion. We have been serving the old lady before. As for Xuetuan, she was bought from outside."

Xuetuan nodded: "When I first came to the Song Mansion, I was only eight years old. It was thanks to the old lady that I was allowed to stay."

Song Yuning smiled and nodded: "So that's how it is. The two sisters have served the old lady before, so they must be different from others. Ningshuang and Yuejian are the ones I brought back from outside.

If you two sisters don't mind, please take care of them more often and talk to them about the rules of the mansion. I'm afraid they won't understand the rules and get into trouble."

Xuerong smiled and nodded: "Young lady is really kind-hearted. Don't worry, I will definitely teach them more etiquette on weekdays."

Song Yuning nodded with a smile on her face: "Thank you very much, Sister Xuerong."

Xuerong is a family-born child with parents around, so Song Yuning cannot persuade her to rebel. However, Xuetuan was bought from outside and has no foundation, so he can give it a try.

Throughout the day, Song Yuning was very cautious for fear of making any mistakes. Only when he lay down on the bed did he feel a little tired, mentally exhausted.

Thinking that she would go to school with her sisters tomorrow and had to help her third sister put on makeup, Song Yuning fell asleep directly.

However, when Song Yuning woke up the next morning, she felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. After breakfast, Nanny Chen did not mention going to add makeup.

He only asked Ningshuang and Yuejian to help Song Yuning pack her things and sent her to Moxiangyuan to go to school early.

Song Yuning gave Ningshuang a wink, and took Xuetuan and Yuejian to Moxiang Garden.

When he arrived at Moxiang Garden, Song Yuning met his fifth sister Song Yuyan and sixth sister Song Yuwan. As for his seventh sister and tenth sister, their courtyards were a bit far away, so they had not arrived yet.

Yuyan and Yuwan's faces didn't look very good, their complexions were a little pale, and when they saw Song Yuning, they just forced a smile and sat in their seats in a daze.

The courtyard of these two people is very close to the courtyard of the third sister Song Yuru. This morning, Nanny Chen did not mention going to add makeup, so I think something must have happened to Song Yuru.

Song Yuning didn't ask any more questions. He sat down in his seat and took out the book he was going to study today.

Not long after she sat down, her seventh sister Yurou and tenth sister Yuyao also came. Both of them looked unhappy.

Without waiting for anyone to speak, the female teacher started teaching. In the morning, there were cultural classes, learning some of the Four Books and Five Classics. In the afternoon, there were music, chess, calligraphy, painting, as well as art classes and etiquette classes such as embroidery and tea making.

After the first class, Yuyao was the first to lose her patience and called all four of them over: "I heard that something happened to my third sister last night and she called several doctors.

Fifth and sixth sisters, your two courtyards are closest to Third Sister's courtyard. Did you hear anything?"

Yuyan glanced at the others and lowered her voice, "Third sister committed suicide. I heard she cut her wrists with a knife. The maid heard a ticking sound in the middle of the night and found out after lighting a candle.

"But it was discovered early. The doctor came to see me and said I'd be fine after a few days of rest." After saying that, Yuyan sat back in her seat and began to stare blankly.

Not only her, but all five girls, including Song Yuning, sat in their seats in a daze.

Song Yuru was forced into a corner. She knew that marrying him would mean death, so she decided to die in her parents' home. This was her weak resistance.

It’s a pity that I didn’t die this time. I probably won’t find another chance.

It was three days later that Song Yuning saw her third sister again, whom she had only met once. Compared with the last time, she looked even more withered.

But no one cared about her. Her yard and room were covered with red double happiness patterns, which made her already pale face look even paler.

The five sisters felt uncomfortable too. After putting on their makeup, they hurried out of Song Yuru's yard.

At noon, when the old lady went out for lunch, Song Yuning saw her second sister who had married a year ago. She was now the wife of the Prince of Pingyuan.

This second sister was Xu's legitimate daughter. When she saw Song Yuning, she only glanced at her a few times and then paid no more attention to her.

Yurou said to her, "Our second sister has always been very proud of herself, thinking that she is a legitimate daughter and never takes us illegitimate children seriously.

Now that she's married, she's more restrained. If you came back before she got married, you'd definitely be bullied by her."

Song Yuning smiled at Yu Rou, knowing that this second sister was not someone to be trifled with, so he naturally tucked his tail between his legs and tried to stay as far away from her as possible.

Two days passed like this, and Song Yuru, who was pale and dying, was finally dragged into a sedan chair by the two men and sent to the Zhang family with the beating of gongs and drums.

Song Yuning witnessed with her own eyes how Song Yuru was sent to the bridal sedan, and suddenly felt sad and miserable in her heart. She couldn't help but start to worry whether she would have the same fate in the future.

This incident not only left a deep psychological trauma on Song Yuning, but also made the other four sisters feel bad.

Song Yuru got married in the morning, and the five of them felt unwell in the afternoon and had a fever in the evening.

After taking a few doses of medicine and the fever subsided, it was the day when Song Yuru would return home in three days.

However, that day, the whole family waited from early morning until nightfall, but Song Yuru and her new husband never showed up.

Song Hongzhi and the old lady looked extremely ugly.

Xu sneered sarcastically and turned back to her own yard.
