Chapter 129: Not Involved
Qu Ling laughed, "Today is indeed a good day. Not only have the soldiers returned to the capital, but people also keep coming back to talk to me."
Song Yuzhen spoke slowly, "The princess is talking about the wife of Marquis Jingwei who just left?"
"Did you see it?"
"Yes," Song Yuzhen nodded, a faint smile on her face, "She looks very bad."
Qu Ling didn't want to waste time talking to her. "I'll take my leave first. Miss Song, please do as you please."
"I have a few words to say to the princess. Even though it may be presumptuous, I have to say them." Song Yuzhen stopped Qu Ling.
She waited for Qu Ling to ask.
But Qu Ling got on the carriage directly and said, "I don't want to listen."
The overly direct rejection caused a crack to appear on Song Yuzhen's calm face.
How can people be so rude!
Song Yuzhen stood at the door of the teahouse and was still lost in thought until Qu Ling's carriage had gone a long way away.
"Miss, the princess is really a bit arrogant." The maid behind Song Yuzhen was also incredulous.
"She is a princess, and it is her due." Song Yuzhen quickly regained her composure.
But there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Song Yuzhen's gaze was still fixed on the road where Qu Ling left.
She admired Qu Ling for being able to fight his way out of the Dingxiang Marquis Mansion.
She also admired Qu Ling for being able to make her grandfather remember his name.
Even though she and Qu Ling were enemies mortal and mortal, she still felt a sense of sympathy for each other.
She wanted to persuade her to leave the capital, away from the trouble, so that she could have a chance to survive.
But Qu Ling actually had that attitude.
Wu Chen's current appearance is very similar to Zhao Yuanrong.
Just as disgusting.
In that case, let her die.
"Sister, can I buy you a bouquet of flowers?"
The little girl carrying a flower basket, with two buns on her head, looks timid and adorable.
"Give her the coppers."
Song Yuzhen withdrew his gaze, suppressed his murderous intent, and gave instructions to the maid behind him.
"We girls want all these flowers of yours." The maid gave a handful of copper coins.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" The little girl selling flowers was overjoyed. "You are a fairy, kind and beautiful."
"Go home quickly." Song Yuzhen touched her hair gently and kindly.
The little girl left happily.
"Miss, these flowers are not even as good as the worst ones in the mansion." The maid carried the flower basket with disdain.
"Throw it away." Song Yuzhen still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold.
The maid was already used to it. She threw the flower basket at the entrance of the teahouse and said to the waiter, "Here you go."
Song Yuzhen also boarded the carriage. She said, "Spend some money and go find out what the wife of Marquis Jingwei does on a daily basis and when she leaves the palace."
After a pause, he added, "There's no need to hide it from Grandfather. Let him know."
"Yes." The maid replied.
Then he urged the servant driving the car, "Hurry back to the mansion. There is a dinner party to celebrate General Hou's victory today, and the girl has to go to the palace."
Song Yuzhen had closed his eyes and was leaning against the wall of the car, his brows slightly furrowed, with an inconsolable sorrow in his eyes.
Qu Ling was in high spirits in the carriage. He ate some snacks and drank some scented tea, feeling comfortable and relaxed.
"Princess, why don't you listen to what Song Yuzhen has to say?" This time it was Su Shang who couldn't help but ask.
"She is a person who speaks sweet words but has a sharp tongue. She is hypocritical and cruel."
These are Zhao Yuanrong's evaluations of her.
"That's not necessary," Qu Ling said. "She will never betray the Song family. Under this premise, no matter what she says, it will be of no use to me."
Listening too much will only add to your troubles.
If you are not careful, you will owe favors to others.
Song Yuzhen will not defect to the eldest princess's camp. When the day of life and death comes, she will still have to think about whether to let her go because of Song Yuzhen's kindness.
It all depends on your ability.
If she wants to kill her, then come.
Even if she wanted to save her, she might not believe it.
No involvement is the best.
After Qu Ling had eaten and drunk his fill, he began to feel sleepy due to the rocking of the carriage, so he simply leaned on Tingqin to rest.
At this time, the wife of Marquis Jingwei was supported and returned to the mansion.
When I was going up the stairs, my foot slipped and I almost fell to the ground.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry," Hu Yingyue grabbed her and walked briskly, "Madam is dying, please call a doctor, hurry."
Hu Yingyue was greatly enlightened today and her heart was pounding.
She is a smart and dreamy person.
After just one meeting with the princess, she decided to give up the high position in the Jingwei Marquis's Mansion.
The strategy needs to be changed. First, she should please the princess and let her introduce her to a higher branch.
She was worried that the wife of Marquis Jingwei would be angry to death, and the princess's marriage would have to be delayed.
By the time Chi Yuan finished his filial piety and remarried, she was already old.
Even if the princess introduced her to a high-ranking official, she couldn't get on.
Hu Yingyue is very strong and walks very fast.
Nothing can happen to the wife of Marquis Jingwei, and the princess must marry in immediately.
"Slow down..." The wife of Marquis Jingwei was already dizzy from anger, and she became even more dizzy after being dragged for a while.
However, she just thought that Hu Yingyue cared about her.
I feel even more satisfied.
She must let this child be her daughter-in-law.
"Madam, we can't wait any longer," Hu Yingyue said anxiously, "Your health is important."
After finally reaching the main courtyard, the servants immediately got busy.
Open the medicine box, bring hot water, calm down, and call the doctor.
"Go and ask the Marquis to come back quickly." The nanny in charge of the main courtyard sent someone to report the news.
"Don't alarm the Marquis," the Marquis of Jingwei's wife said with all her might, "General Marquis is returning to the capital today, and the Marquis has been ordered to attend a banquet in the palace. He can't be delayed."
She took a deep breath, her eyes sinister, and said, "Go and call Chi Yuan back."
This time it was Nanny's turn to be embarrassed. "Young Master has been looking so gloomy lately. I'm afraid things are not going well for him."
"I don't care if he dies!" Lady Jingwei raised her voice, "Go get Chi Yuan back to me, right now!"
The nanny had a bitter look on her face and wanted to persuade him again, "If the eldest master leaves the guard post without permission, he will be reprimanded by his superiors."
Madam is really too harsh on the eldest son.
"If I die here, it's because of him," said the wife of Marquis Jingwei, looking agitated. After a bout of coughing, she finally recovered and slapped the bed hysterically. "If he pissed me off to death, he'd never be able to hold an official position."
Hu Yingyue stood aside, her eyes rolling, and she pretended to be panicked and said, "Go and invite the eldest young master, and then send someone to the academy to invite the second young master back."
"No," Lady Jingwei Hou stopped him, "Ache needs to study. His studies cannot be delayed."
Hu Yingyue looked down on him.
He is biased to the core.
Although her parents were not rich, they never favored her and her brother.
Hu Yingyue pretended to be innocent and naive, "Madam, if you do this, it will easily make the Second Young Master think that you are partial."
She spoke clearly, "If only the eldest son is seen showing filial piety at the bedside, and the second son doesn't even show up, then word will get out, and the second son's reputation will be tarnished. The scholars in this academy will be blamed lightly, but when he enters the court as an official in the future, he will easily be closely watched by the censors."
The wife of Marquis Jingwei was choked and speechless.
She felt like she had something stuck in her throat, but she had to admit that it was the fact.
