Qin Songya looked at Ning Xihua who looked a little worried and asked her.

"Aren't you curious about why I'm like this?"

Ning Xihua was stunned and sighed.

The carriage stopped not far from the Prince Rui's Palace. Qin Songya, the Princess of Rui, appeared alone on the street without a servant by her side. She looked distraught. It was obvious that something had happened in the palace and she had sneaked out alone.

What could make a princess like this? Ning Xihua thought of Lin Mengli, who was now the concubine of Prince Rui, and she understood a little.

Why should she poke at someone's sore spot?

"To be honest, I don't want to meddle in other people's business."

Qin Songya smiled helplessly, "If that's the case, why did the Crown Princess let me get in the car? If someone saw me, they would start to speculate about the relationship between Linhua Palace and Prince Rui's Mansion."

Now the relationship between Linhua Palace and the two princes' palaces is delicate, and she really shouldn't let her get on the car and cause trouble.

Ning Xihua shook her head and said, "It's not good for girls to be in the rain for too long. No matter what happens, you have to take good care of yourself."

Qin Songya seemed a little dazed, and said incoherently, "But it's not my fault."

Ning Xihua understood, "Then don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes. It's not worth it."

Qin Songya looked at Ning Xihua's gentle gaze and felt a little confused for a moment.

"So what is worth it? What can I do? To others, I may look like a glamorous princess, but what about the reality?"

At the end, his tone took on a hint of sarcasm.

Ning Xihua sighed again. She was really not very good at comforting others.

"Whatever you want is worth it. As for how to do it, you shouldn't ask me. Maybe you should go back and ask General Qin. He is your relative and your greatest support, isn't he?"

Qin Songya seemed to be awakened by these words, and her eyes suddenly brightened.

"The secular world always imposes too many restrictions and confinements on women, but you are already much luckier than ordinary women. Because you still have the ability to break these shackles. It just depends on whether you are willing to fight for it."

Qin Songfeng's parents both passed away, and he only has this one sister. The two are more than ten years apart in age. He raised Qin Songya almost like his own daughter and loved her very much.

This is why Concubine Sun and Su Xun were willing to resort to dishonorable means to get her to marry. They were sure that no matter how unwilling Qin Songfeng was, for the sake of his sister's happiness, he would be courteous to Su Xu and the Sun family, and in the end he had no choice but to be tied to Su Xu's boat.

But as long as Qin Songya is determined to abandon this ship, Qin Songfeng will definitely not let Su Xu and the Sun family have an easy time.

Qin Songya understood what she meant, and her eyes became firm, as if she had made some decision.

"The Crown Princess' words awakened me from my dream. Thank you for your guidance, but I'm sorry to bother you to send me back to the General's Mansion."

Ning Xihua saw her expression and knew that she had come to terms with it, so she nodded and told the driver to change the route.

After sending Qin Songya back to the general's mansion, Ning Xihua returned to Linhua Palace. Su Bi had already finished her business and returned.

She mentioned the encounter with Qin Songya on the road.

When Su Bi saw her gossipy expression, she knew what she wanted to hear.

"A few days ago, there was a tip-off that Princess Rui seemed to be pregnant, but the baby was not yet full term. Three days ago, Princess Rui and the concubine had an argument, and that night, many doctors entered the Rui Palace. But in the past few days, there has been no news from the Rui Palace that the concubine was punished."

Although she had guessed that it was related to the little white flower, she didn't expect her to be so troublesome.

"So, Lin Mengli got rid of Qin Songya's child, and Su Xu favored Lin Mengli, so Qin Songya ran away from home and wandered in the rain today?"

Ning Xihua felt sorry for her instantly. She was treated like this just after giving birth. She was so angry that she ran into the rain without caring about her body. How much of a grievance must this be?

Su Bi nodded and told another legend.

"I heard that Qin Songfeng was planning to marry his sister to one of his subordinates. The two of them were in love and had known each other since childhood. It seemed that they had even exchanged engagement letters, and the only thing left was to make a betrothal agreement."

But later, Concubine Sun Gui and Su Xu plotted to make Qin Songya fall into the water, forcing Emperor Shao Yuan to issue an imperial decree to grant her marriage. Even if they were lovers, they could only separate and look at each other from each other.

No wonder Qin Songya asked her what was worth it before.

She gave up her lover and was forced to become the envied princess of a prince, but in return her husband favored his concubine over his wife and she lost her own son. No woman can stand this, right?

Su Xu is indeed a scumbag!

Ning Xihua felt a little unfair for Qin Songya. She glanced at Su Bi and spoke earnestly.

"So if a man has three wives and four concubines, not only will it make women suffer, but it will also only cause unrest in the harem!"

Su Bi laughed at what she said, "You are the only one I have. The unrest in the backyard can only be caused by you. What does it have to do with others?"

Ning Xihua was shocked, "You said I did it?"

Su Bi: ...

What a bad idea. I really can't talk back to my wives. It seems like their thoughts are never on the original focus.

…

The next day, Linhua Palace received a thank-you gift from the Huaihua General's Mansion, which said that the Crown Princess thanked the Crown Princess for sending the Princess of Rui back to the General's Mansion. As for why she was not sent back to the Princess of Rui's Mansion, the smart people who were watching did not mention it.

The servant who brought the gift also privately told Song Yi that there was a makeup box that was specially given to the Crown Princess. Ning Xihua understood and took out the makeup box from the gift, and there was indeed a letter inside.

Qin Songya thanked her solemnly in the letter, saying that she had figured out what kind of life she wanted for the rest of her life. She also hinted in a very tactful way that if Ning Xihua needed anything, she would definitely help her in the future.

Ning Xihua held the letter, thoughtful.

Then she turned to Su Bi and asked, "Do you think I should return the favor and do you a favor?"

Su Bi didn't care and looked like she would do whatever she said.

"What do you want to give?"

Ning Xihua rolled her eyes and came up with a good idea.

"Just send her a message."

Although I can't let her live the life she wants right away, she can still vent her anger.

After saying this, he picked up his pen and wrote a letter back, and asked Huai Liu to deliver it personally.

Su Bi seemed to know what she had written and said with a smile, "Do you want to see a good show?"

Ning Xihua raised her head and said, "I have let Lin Mengli go for so long, it's time to put her to some use."

…

Huaihua General's Mansion.

"Prince Rui has come to apologize and said he wants to take you back to the palace."

Qin Songya closed the letter, turned around and told the servants, "Pack up and prepare to return to Prince Rui's Mansion."

"Songya, have you really thought it through?"

Qin Songfeng's heroic face was full of distress and worry.

"Brother, I've thought it over. Su Xu is not worth it."

She looked at the pear tree outside the window, which was swaying in the wind but still standing firm, and felt that she had never been so clear-headed as she was now.

"If we had been living in peace, I would have accepted my fate. But Su Xu is not a man who can make sense of the affairs of the backyard, and I am not good at such secrets. I have already paid the price for my cowardice. If I still stubbornly refuse to change and stay stuck in the quagmire of the backyard of Prince Rui's mansion for the rest of my life, it would be better for me to end my life now and get a clean and happy ending."

"Nonsense!" Qin Songfeng was frightened by his sister's decisive words.

"You are my only relative! I will help you with whatever you want to do. Don't give up on yourself!"

Qin Songya looked at his concerned and anxious eyes and smiled.

The Crown Princess was right, her brother was her greatest support, and she shouldn't be submissive and complain about everything.

She clenched the letter in her hand, becoming more resolute in her thoughts.

This time, she wants to fight for herself.
