Chapter 31: Shaved and sent to the nunnery
Song Yuzhen's frankness actually dispelled a lot of doubts.
"The integrity of this subject depends on Her Royal Highness the Princess."
She bent her knees slightly and bowed, keeping her back straight.
The eldest princess's gaze swept over her, and she did not dodge or evade.
This initiative actually let the princess know that even if she searched, she would not find anything.
Song Yuzhen is a meticulous person, cautious, and careful person. She protects her reputation and values her reputation, so it is difficult to find any fault with her.
At the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet last year, the emperor's only daughter, Princess Kangle, drank a few more sips of wine and, under the influence of alcohol, mocked Song Yuzhen for not being favored by the prince. At that time, Song Yuzhen was not angry and did not show any abnormality.
Afterwards, Princess Kangle realized that she had spoken out of turn and offered Song Yuzhen an apology. Song Yuzhen was respectful and even joked that the princess was right and that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really had no favor towards her at all.
Somehow, Princess Kangle went to cause trouble for Zhao Yuanrong.
In public, people said that Zhao Yuanrong was shameless and seduced the prince.
Princess Kangle was raised by Empress Dowager Song for a period of time. The emperor had only one son and one daughter, and they were usually a little spoiled.
The emperor would not tolerate such insults to Zhao Yuanrong, and neither the crown prince nor the eldest princess would be happy.
She was sent to the imperial mausoleum to accompany Queen Dowager Song and has not returned yet.
Zhao Yuanrong said that she was instigated by Song Yuzhen.
Song Yuzhen both scolded someone and took revenge.
But no one has any evidence.
"Investigate," the princess's red lips moved slightly, "I will send a female official, and the Song family will send a capable nanny, and then..."
She said to the wife of the Marquis of Jingwei, "You are the mother of the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. You must be a fair person. Come along with me to avoid people accusing me of deliberately framing you."
The wife of Marquis Jingwei did not expect that she could benefit from Chi Yuan's influence. She felt uncomfortable but did not dare to show it, so she nodded in agreement.
The searchers left, and the eldest princess leisurely picked up the teacup, but her eyes were always on Song Yuzhen's expression.
She just stood there calmly, without even her eyelashes trembling.
No wonder Queen Song likes to keep her by her side.
She is a suitable candidate for the Crown Princess.
Half a minute later, everyone came back with their hands full.
However, they were all found in Song Yujin's room, and there was nothing in Song Yuzhen's room.
"It's hidden very secretly. You can't find it unless you look carefully." said the female official.
Liu closed her eyes in despair, tears streaming down her face.
Those poems expressing lovesickness and the sachets embroidered with names but unable to be given away have completely brought shame to the Song family.
It was because she, as a mother, did not care enough about her daughter that she became so unruly in her boudoir.
Song Yujin collapsed on the ground.
"Impossible..." Her voice trembled, "Sister clearly said she had burned it for me!"
Song Yuzhen stood aside, his face calm, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "It's already this hour, and you still want to throw dirty water on me."
"It's you!" Song Yujin screamed and rushed over, but was held down by the maids. "That day you came to my room, discovered my thoughts, scolded me, and then said you would help me deal with it..."
She suddenly paused, as if she had figured something out, her face instantly pale, "It was Tao'er...it was that bitch Tao'er, you bribed her."
Those things were not burned at all, but were hidden back in her room by her personal maid.
Even if the eldest princess didn't investigate, the Song family would find out sooner or later.
Song Yujin will not have a good ending then.
Song Yuzhen sighed, a look of heartache in his eyes. "Yujin, you are so stubborn and stubborn. Are you still trying to bite me now?"
She turned to the eldest princess, bowed, and said with a wry smile, "Your Highness, I have no idea that my sister hates me so much."
The eldest princess smiled, "Ms. Song is quite clean."
Song Yujin suddenly started struggling like crazy, "Song Yuzhen, why are you pretending to be a good person?"
Her voice was hoarse and her eyes were full of resentment.
When Song Yuzhen heard this, tears instantly filled her eyes. "Yujin, as your elder sister, am I not good to you?"
"From childhood to adulthood, how many mistakes have I covered up for you? But you..."
She choked with sobs.
Old Madam Song knew that the Song family had lost all face today.
She made a prompt decision, "This evil creature is insane and has lost her mind. She has brought disgrace upon our family. I will make the decision today. I will shave her hair and send her to a nunnery. She will practice diligently from now on and will never return to the Song family."
"Grandma," Song Yujin panicked and crawled over to hug the old lady's legs. "I know I was wrong. Please don't chase me away..."
Liu turned her head away and stopped looking at her.
Song Yuzhen stood quietly aside. This sister was domineering and stupid. Sooner or later, she would dig her own grave and bring trouble to the entire Song family.
She thought about getting rid of her.
But after all, she was his own sister, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Unexpectedly, the little trick I kept helped me solve this problem so smoothly.
The eldest princess raised her lips, "The old lady is still decisive."
Madam Song gritted her teeth and said, "Yuzhen has always been polite. The Princess and all the ladies have seen it today. I hope that no slanderous words about this child will be spread outside."
A blessing in disguise.
Without Song Yujin, it’s nothing.
As long as Song Yuzhen is fine, the Song family will suffer no loss.
An old woman came over with a pair of scissors.
Someone immediately came forward and pulled apart Song Yujin's hair.
She screamed and struggled, but to no avail.
The sharp scissors made a few "click" sounds, and the long black hair fell to the ground.
"No! My hair..."
She broke down and cried, but no one dared to plead for her.
Qu Ling stood aside, quietly watching everything in front of him, and suddenly remembered the girl who was harmed by Song Yujin and sent to a nunnery in his previous life.
She said, "Second Miss Song loves the Master, but the Master's heart is with the Buddha. From now on, Second Miss can serve the Buddha for the rest of her life. You and the Master have come to the same destination through different paths, so you should be happy."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Qu Ling again.
"A Ling is right," the eldest princess nodded in agreement, "this can be considered as fulfilling her wish."
When Song Yujin was dragged away, hatred was surging in her eyes.
Song Yuzhen stood there, tears rolling down her cheeks at just the right moment.
"Now that everything has been investigated clearly, I wonder if the princess has any other advice?" Old Madam Song is old and has experienced great joys and sorrows, and she is a little overwhelmed.
She started to chase the guests away as soon as she opened her mouth.
The ladies and girls also felt exhausted and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
The eldest princess raised an eyebrow. "Finding out the cause of Qu Lianxue's death only solves one problem. Why my daughter encountered an assassin is another matter. What's going on? Is the old lady trying to get rid of me?"
Old Madam Song glared, "Didn't the Princess say that the previous matter would be handed over to the Crown Prince to investigate?"
Doesn’t that count?
"How did Wei Mingshan sneak into the Song family, and who ordered him to do so? Of course, the Crown Prince will investigate."
The princess refused to budge. "What I want to ask is why that maid spilled water on A Ling's skirt, and why was there a tranquilizing soup in the princess's tea?"
There was fear in Qu Lianzhi's eyes, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet.
