Chapter 293: Avoiding Implicate by the Xiao Family
When Aunt Jiang saw Song Zhenzhen, the smile on her face faded a little. She smiled and said, "Miss Song, you are too polite. I still have a lot of winter bamboo shoots here. Miss Song, you should take them home."
"I've brought it all. Just put it here and save it for the New Year." Song Zhenzhen acted as if she didn't notice Aunt Jiang's displeasure. She put down the winter bamboo shoots she had brought and said, "This must be Miss Xiao, right? I've heard about her for a long time. Today is the first time I see her. Miss Xiao is really as beautiful as a fairy."
It was clearly a compliment, but when it came out of Song Zhenzhen's mouth, there was an indescribable sense of weirdness.
"Miss Song is also very beautiful." Xiao Jiuyue complimented him back.
"Thank you, everyone says so." The smile on Song Zhenzhen's face deepened significantly. Her gaze moved between Aunt Jiang and Xiao Jiuyue. Aunt Jiang and Xiao Jiuyue talked very intimately, which made her jealous. Every time she came to deliver something, Aunt Jiang was not enthusiastic at all.
"Miss Xiao, I heard that your engagement was broken off. Is that true?" As soon as Song Zhenzhen said this, Aunt Jiang and Xiao Jiuyue's conversation was interrupted. Aunt Jiang said in a deep voice, "Miss Song, please don't spread such rumors."
"I'm sorry, I heard it from someone else." Song Zhenzhen apologized obediently. She tried hard to play the role of innocence, but her acting was a little poor. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue and asked, "Miss Xiao, is this true or false?"
"Of course this is fake." Aunt Jiang stepped forward without thinking and said, "Miss Song, the bamboo shoots you gave me are too good. I can't afford them." There are girls who want to please her to get close to her son, but most of them are self-aware. It is rare to find someone like Song Zhenzhen who is like a dog-skin plaster.
As Aunt Jiang spoke, she stuffed the bamboo shoots that Song Zhenzhen had brought into her hands and at the same time pushed Song Zhenzhen out.
"Auntie Jiang, I'm just curious. I don't have any bad intentions." Song Zhenzhen tried hard to express her innocence. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Miss Xiao, you don't dare to answer. Is it because she is the real one? That person is so hateful. How can you cancel the engagement?"
"Ms. Song, I also heard that you broke off the engagement because your brother passed the examination for a student and is going to take the examination for a scholar, and your Song family looks down on him." Lianxin really couldn't stand it anymore. Is Song Zhenzhen doing this on purpose to disgust people?
"Nonsense, they obviously broke off the engagement because they felt they were not worthy of our Song family." Song Zhenzhen answered righteously.
"The Song family is truly too high-class. Normal people can't even reach them. After all, she'll soon be a scholar's sister." Lian Xin emphasized the words 'scholar's sister' with obvious sarcasm. She continued, "However, I still advise you not to be too happy too soon. Whether you can pass the imperial examination is still uncertain!"
Song Zhenzhen straightened her chest and said proudly, "My brother will definitely pass the exam."
Lianxin smiled.
Song Zhenzhen frowned and looked at Lianxin and said, "What do you mean by that look? Do you think my brother won't pass the exam? Miss Xiao, tell me, my brother is amazing. The teacher praised him for not only passing the exam for a scholar, but also for passing the exam for a Juren."
"Ms. Xiao, actually it's okay to cancel the engagement. After all, no one wants to get involved when something happens to the Xiao family. What if you get implicated?" Song Zhenzhen spoke without restraint and said whatever she wanted. When she said the last sentence, she especially looked at Xiao Jiuyue, wanting to see the embarrassment and panic on her face.
So what if he was born into a noble family? He was still rejected.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh."
Before Xiao Jiuyue could say anything, Aunt Jiang jumped out and looked at Song Zhenzhen with an angry face, cursing her by name: "Song Zhenzhen, breaking off the engagement is indeed nothing, but being a gossip like you and spreading it everywhere is a sign of poor character."
"As a girl, you're talking about breaking off an engagement, and you're not ashamed of it. I'm embarrassed for you." Aunt Jiang looked at Song Zhenzhen's disgusted eyes, and she couldn't hide it anymore. She said, "Please don't come here again."
"Aunt Jiang, what I said is true. The Xiao family is guilty of a serious crime. She..." Before Song Zhenzhen could finish her words, Lianxin rushed forward and slapped Song Zhenzhen in the face.
At this moment, Lianxin only regretted that she had not learned a few moves from Luokui. If Luokui were there, he would definitely beat Song Zhenzhen so badly that even her own parents wouldn't be able to recognize her!
Lianxin tightly grasped Song Zhenzhen's hair with one hand, and saw Xiao Jiuyue coming over from the corner of her eye, so Lianxin didn't say anything.
"Ah, let me go." Song Zhenzhen screamed in pain. She tried to look up at Xiao Jiuyue and said through gritted teeth, "I didn't say anything wrong."
"Yes, you're right." Xiao Jiuyue said coldly. Looking at Song Zhenzhen's crazy look of wanting to step on her, she found it a little ridiculous. She said, "Lianxin."
"Miss." Lianxin was unwilling to accept it. Song Zhenzhen's mouth was really stinky.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at Lianxin with a smile: "A mad dog bit you, are you going to bite it back?"
"Miss, you are right." Lianxin's eyes lit up. She let go of her hand, but still protected Xiao Jiuyue, fearing that Song Zhenzhen would go crazy again.
"Who are you calling a dog?" Song Zhenzhen covered her pulled hair, her scalp numbing. Looking at Lianxin, who was even smaller than her, she wondered how she could be so strong.
"I personally canceled the marriage with the prince of the Marquis' Mansion, because a person's true character is revealed when he is in trouble. I wonder if Miss Song Zhenzhen is canceling the engagement or being canceled?" Xiao Jiuyue's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Song Zhenzhen's heart.
"Hou, the Marquis's son?" Song Zhenzhen listened to this title in disbelief. She clutched her chest, feeling her heartbeat almost stop. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue in disbelief and blurted out, "You're lying."
If I really want to marry the prince, wouldn’t I be the prince’s consort?
Oh my God, how high an official position must this be?
Song Zhenzhen said she didn't believe it, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Jiuyue was full of disbelief. How could she bear to back out of such a good marriage? She said, "It must be that the Marquis' Mansion doesn't want you."
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Xiao Jiuyue curled her lips in a faint smile, as if she was simply stating a fact. She continued, "The Song family is afraid of being implicated by our Xiao family, so it's best for them to avoid any involvement with the Xiao family in the future, such as oranges or farming."
Before Song Zhenzhen could react, a woman rushed up and slapped her hard on the head, yelling, "Hurry up and apologize to Miss Xiao."
"Miss Xiao, Zhenzhen is ignorant. I hope you can be magnanimous and not argue with her."
Mother Song was wearing a dark purple coat, looking quite different from an ordinary peasant woman. She smiled as she looked at Xiao Jiuyue: "It's our blessing to be associated with the Xiao family. If it weren't for the incident at the Xiao family, we wouldn't have been able to see Miss Xiao."
"Mom." Song Zhenzhen was stunned. Looking at her mother who was usually so arrogant, now with a flattering smile on her face, she looked even more confused.
