Chapter 65: Protecting the Child in a Special Way
Old Madam Lu was almost fainted by the shamelessness of the Qian mother and daughter, and Lu Zhinian was also unable to keep his composure and his face turned pale.
Some people couldn't help but shrug their shoulders and let out strange laughs. Even Song Tangning and Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile. This Madam Qian was really unique in protecting her child.
Seeing the Lu family glaring at them, Qian Qiyue silently gave her mother a thumbs up in her heart, but she didn't continue to tease the Lu family's grandparents and grandchildren. She turned her head and said to Song Tangning:
"Today's banquet is so lively. You should hurry to the Song family to avoid having your things stolen again."
She reached out and held Mrs. Qian's arm: "Mother, let's go."
"You're the only one making trouble!"
Madam Qian pointed a finger at her forehead and then said gently, "This naughty girl of mine always likes to talk nonsense. I have to go back and punish her so that she will learn her lesson."
"Princess, Miss Song, we will go ahead."
Song Tangning bowed halfway and said, "Goodbye, Madam."
She watched the two of them leave, and saw them leading two maids to the Qian family's carriage. Madam Qian got on the carriage first, and Qian Qiyue also reached out to lift the curtain and was helped up.
Just as Tang Ning was about to look away, she saw Qian Qiyue suddenly turn around. She raised her fair and delicate chin, and with her face, which was more beautiful than a blooming peony, she glared at her, wrinkled her nose, and made a face at her. Then she rolled her eyes at Lu Zhinian and opened her mouth to say something silently.
Song Tangning recognized the word "hypocrite" from her lip reading. She was stunned for a moment, then her eyebrows curved, her pink lips raised, and she smiled as she looked at the falling curtain on the Qian family's carriage.
In the carriage, Madam Qian patted Qian Qiyue on the back of the head and said, "Stop making trouble, or the Lu family will tear you apart."
"I'm not afraid of them." Qian Qiyue grinned without any trace of the dignified manner of a noble lady. She leaned on Madam Qian's shoulder and said with a smile: "Mother, I like Song Tangning."
Madam Qian glanced at her and said, "Didn't you dislike it before?"
Every time she went out to a banquet or ran into Miss Song on weekdays, her little daughter would always come back and scold Song Tangning for being stupid. If we talk about those who hate Song Tangning in Beijing, Qian Qiyue would be the first one.
If Madam Qian didn't know her daughter's personality too well, she would have suspected that her daughter was just like other women, and that she couldn't stand Miss Song because she admired the third son of the Lu family.
Qian Qiyue hugged her arm and snorted softly: "That's different."
"What's the difference?"
"Mother, you don't understand. It's just different!"
Qian Qiyue hummed softly. She had actually known Song Tangning for a long time. On her fifth birthday, she sneaked out of the house and met Song Tangning who was visiting her grandfather. They also climbed the persimmon tree in Rong Taifu's house together, but got stuck on the branches and couldn't get down.
While waiting to be picked from the tree by Taifu Rong and his men, the two were beaten with a slap. Song Tangning then cried and tricked her into running away from home. Before they could even leave Taifu's mansion with a small bag of sweets and cakes on their backs, they were caught and beaten with a few more slaps. From then on, they became friends for life.
At that time, Qian Baokun was not yet the Minister of Revenue, but Taifu Rong was already a prominent figure in the court, and Song Tangning was the apple of the eye of both the Rong and Song families. However, Qian Qiuyue walked with a limp due to a bad hip bone and was bullied by the children in the capital.
It was Song Tangning, who was younger than her, who stood in front of her, with a chubby face, shouting and shouting at those people to drive them away, and said to her, "Sister Qiyue, don't be afraid, Xiao Haitang will protect you."
Later, the old house found a famous doctor to treat her leg. Qian Qiyue left Beijing and went to Lingnan. She was full of joy and thought of giving Song Tangning a surprise when she returned to Beijing. However, when she returned to Beijing after her leg had healed four years later, Song Tangning's parents had died unexpectedly, and even Taifu Rong was bedridden and could die at any time.
She found Song Tangning full of worry, wanting to comfort her childhood friend, but the girl who protected her and called her sister four years ago was completely unfamiliar with her and seemed not to recognize her at all.
Later, Master Rong passed away, and Song Tangning got engaged to the Lu family. Her heart and eyes were filled with only her brother Lu.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see how perfunctory Lu Zhinian was towards her, and how cold the Lu family was towards her, but she seemed to have lost her mind. No matter what others said about her, or how those outsiders despised her for lowering her status to curry favor with the Lu family, she followed Lu Zhinian wholeheartedly. Her extremely humble and flattering attitude made Qian Qiyue angry.
At the beginning, she would help Song Tangning to refute a few words, and even fight with those little girls who said bad things about her. But later, seeing Song Tangning getting deeper and deeper into trouble, not only did she gradually stop participating in girls' gatherings in Beijing, she trapped herself in the position of "bride" of the Lu family and became more and more rigid. It even seemed that apart from Lu Zhinian and the Lu family, she could not tolerate anyone else in her eyes or heart.
Qian Qiyue, who once tried to befriend her, gradually became disappointed, until today...
Qian Qiyue thought of Song Tangning's attitude towards the Song family and Lu Zhinian, and her eyes were filled with smiles: "Anyway, I like her the way she is now."
Just like when I was a kid.
"Mother, you said Song Tangning is now at odds with the Song family and wants to break off the engagement with the Lu family. Everyone in the capital must be watching her and wanting to take advantage of her misfortune. If I help her out now and show her care and warmth, will she be deeply moved and remain loyal to me..."
Snap——
Mrs. Qian was at a loss for words and slapped her on the forehead: "I told you to study, but you didn't study hard."
What kind of unforgettable and unswerving words are used here?
"I'm warning you, don't even think about getting involved in the Lu family's affairs, or I won't help you if your father punishes you later."
"Mother..."
"obedient."
Madam Qian looked at her daughter, who was rubbing her forehead with displeasure, and said sternly, "If you like Miss Song, you can be friends with her and have contact with her. I won't stop you from doing that, but you are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Lu family."
"Let's not talk about how it's not that easy to cancel their marriage. Miss Song might just be angry for a moment. If her marriage with Lu Sanlang goes ahead in the future, you, the villain, will be in trouble. Moreover, her marriage with the Lu family involves not only the Duke of Song's Mansion, but also the late Rong Taifu, the Queen, and the Fourth Prince. If you interfere too much, those in the court will think that your father is dissatisfied with the Queen and her son, and then you will be in big trouble."
The reason why Qian Baokun was able to stay in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for many years was because although the Qian family was powerful, they never took sides, and Qian Baokun never relied on or offended anyone.
This is a matter of succession and cannot be taken lightly.
Qian Qiyue hung her head in frustration: "Then can I still play with Song Tangning?"
Mrs. Qian said helplessly: "Of course you can. Who can control your little girl's personal relationship? But you are not allowed to talk about her engagement."
Qian Qiyue became happy upon hearing this. If she didn't want to speak, then she didn't have to. At most, she could get closer to Tang Ning and let her see the face of that Lu Zhinian clearly. If Song Tangning could still fall into this trap, then she would be a pig!
but……
It's a pretty good-looking pig.
Qian Qiyue thought of the pink and tender Song Tangning turning into a pig, and she immediately laughed foolishly.
Mrs. Qian couldn't help shaking her head when she saw her changing from depressed to happy.
"If you like Miss Song, have something sent to Jiyun Lane later. It will be a gift to celebrate her leaving the Song family and starting a new life."
Qian Qiyue's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
She remembered that little Begonia loved sweet cakes the most when she was a child, and she even had to take them with her when she ran away from home. Otherwise, should she send a cook over?
Qian Qiyue's eyes lit up: She is so smart!
