"Miss, the old lady invites you."
Song Shiwei was just thinking about it when a maid came hurriedly to report the news.
She responded and stood up.
Fortunately, she was not isolated and helpless. At least she could still fight for the old lady's favor.
In Shouxi Hall, not only the old lady, but also Jiang Zhaorong and Taohong were there.
Song Shi was slightly stunned and saluted.
When the old lady beckoned, Song Shiwei chuckled and threw herself into the old lady's arms, saying coquettishly, "Grandma."
Jiang Zhaorong's mouth twitched.
Anyway, no matter what, the fact that the old lady drank boy's urine had a great impact on him. Song Shiwei could still act like a spoiled child to the old lady even though he knew this.
It is clear that he is forbearing.
The old lady stroked her hair, enjoying her coquettishness very much: "Come on, why are you still acting like a child? Grandma is calling you, I have something serious to tell you."
Because the incident of drinking boy's urine was exposed, the old lady became pathologically concerned about other people's looks and actions. If there was something slightly wrong, she would think that they were disliking her.
Therefore, Song Shiwei's intimate behavior comforted her to a great extent, and she looked at Song Shiwei with more and more love.
"Today, the wife of the Marquis of Anle sent an invitation. Tomorrow, the Marquis of Anle's mansion is hosting a wedding banquet. Second Young Master Lu is bedridden, so the wife of the Marquis of Anle decided to hold a wedding to cheer him up."
Jiang Zhaorong and Song Shiwei's expressions both looked a little ugly.
This was a blessing for the Anle Marquis's family, but for everyone else, it was a disaster.
With Lu Daizong's condition, what good would come of marrying him?
Song Shiwei looked at Jiang Zhaorong with a pleading look. Jiang Zhaorong moved his lips but didn't say anything.
Song Shiwei gritted her teeth and said, "Grandma...my granddaughter doesn't want to go."
Tao Hong was not willing to let go of this opportunity, especially since it was proposed by the old lady herself: "Miss Song, don't be shy. You are old now. The Anle Marquisate is well-off. Although the Second Young Master Lu has some flaws, the Anle Marquisate will never treat you unfairly."
She paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, it's not just Mr. Lu Er who is at the banquet. There are other young masters as well."
Song Shiwei's heart was gradually filled with ruthlessness, but tears were already welling up in his eyes. He looked at the old lady pitifully.
"Since the invitation has been sent, you still have to go to the banquet." The old lady grabbed Song Shiwei's hand and patted it a few times. "Don't worry, grandma will never push you into that fire pit. I called you here to talk about the second matter."
"The invitation from Anle Hou's wife included a secret letter. It said that the Queen Mother has been having trouble sleeping at night these past few days. She heard that you make excellent incense, so she asked you to come to the palace and make some calming incense yourself!"
The old lady's voice was filled with excitement. "Once you have caught the Queen Mother's eye, what else will you worry about?"
Song Shiwei's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, as long as you catch the Queen Mother's eye, wouldn't it be much easier for her to do anything?
The smile on Taohong's lips had disappeared, and a hint of hidden hatred flashed in her drooping eyes.
If she is favored by the Queen Mother...
"no."
While everyone was thinking about their own things, Jiang Zhaorong suddenly spoke.
old lady:"???"
Song Shiwei: “???”
pink:"!!!"
After the confusion subsided, the old lady was the first to express her dissatisfaction: "Why not? You know Shi Wei's incense-making skills. Now is a good opportunity to catch the Empress Dowager's eye. I have to do it even if I can't!"
Song Shiwei couldn't let the opportunity slip away like this, so he quickly said, "I can do it. I've been making tranquilizing incense, and..."
Gave a copy to Jiang Zhaorong.
Song Shiwei was speaking when he suddenly stopped.
Hiss, she had forgotten that the calming incense she gave to Jiang Zhaorong was originally for Jiang Kangan!
Although the incense can make people fall asleep, after falling asleep, they will be plagued by nightmares that recur over and over again.
She hadn't made that kind of incense for a long time, so she put the remaining ones together with the real calming incense. After Jiang Zhaorong came back, she was worried again and took the wrong one!
No wonder Jiang Zhaorong spoke out to stop it.
"What else?"
Seeing her unhappy expression, the old lady couldn't help but ask.
Such a good opportunity, we can’t miss it!
"I've even tested it myself. Don't worry, Grandma. My new formula will definitely help you sleep peacefully."
Song Shiwei emphasized the word "new", and saw Jiang Zhaorong's eyes become thoughtful.
If you cause the Queen Mother to suffer from nightmares, you will not be favored by the Queen Mother, but will be disliked by her.
Jiang Zhaorong was thinking, but this was indeed an opportunity.
"Make it first and let others use it. After all, it's something the Queen Mother wants to use, so it's better to be cautious."
Song Shiwei responded without hesitation: "Okay, don't worry, father."
The old lady also nodded slightly.
…
The invitation from the wife of Marquis Anle was also delivered to the Xu Mansion. Tan Shujing and Xu Youran sat at the table, looking at the invitation on the table and feeling worried.
"What should we do? Marquis Anle has put all the blame on Zhiyu. This time he must have bad intentions. If it were you, I would not let Zhiyu go."
Xu Youran smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. Zhiyu is very capable. Marquis Anle and his men can't do anything to her. We should wait until Zhiyu comes back and ask her if she wants to go."
"Although she is very capable, she is only twelve years old after all," Tan Shujing looked at her disapprovingly. "Marquis Anle and his men are stupid, but the wife of Marquis Anle is not someone to be trifled with. She has many sinister tricks. Even if it's just a chance, I don't want Zhiyu to witness those dirty tricks."
"I know what you mean. I'm Zhiyu's mother, so naturally I don't want her to get hurt." Xu Youran grabbed her hand. "But we can't protect her forever. Zhiyu has the ability to protect herself. Those abilities mean she's destined to have an extraordinary life. The sooner she sees them, the more she'll have more ways to protect herself."
"Just like me," Xu Youran chuckled. "When I was little, you, my father, and my brothers always protected me. But after a woman gets married, her life becomes a completely different place. If it weren't for Zhiyu, I can't even imagine what kind of life my children and I would be leading now."
Tan Shujing's words came to her throat but she couldn't say them.
"I'm lucky. I have you and Zhiyu protecting me, but I can't let Zhiyu take this chance... But don't worry, mother. I will protect her and let her see those tricks, but I will never let those dirty tricks hurt her."
Xu Youran's voice was filled with determination. Tan Shujing looked at her for a long moment, then raised the corners of her lips slightly and said with relief, "You've grown up too."
Tears welled up in both of their eyes, and they were about to burst out when they heard a voice say, "Who has grown up?"
Xu Youran and Tan Shujing blinked at the same time, forcing back the tears.
Jiang Zhiyu walked to the table, looked at them suspiciously, then looked at the invitation on the table: "Who sent it?"
