Chapter 561 Please, Princess, give me a way out!
Thinking that Song Baozhu is now married to Song Mingkun, and in public, Song Huai'en's mind can't help but become active.
If he could marry Baozhu, it would be a good thing and would also be beneficial to the reputation of both of them.
Thinking of this, Song Huai'en hurriedly explained: "To be honest with you, Princess, Baozhu has been spoiled since she was a child, and her mother has spoiled her so much that she has never suffered any hardship.
She doesn't want to get married in a hurry, and as a father, I can't force her. After all, it's a matter of life that requires careful consideration."
After saying this, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Even the dullest person could see that Song Huai'en had genuine feelings for his daughter Song Baozhu.
After all, he was raised by my side since he was a child, and I have high hopes for him, so it is natural that I feel a little distressed.
After hearing this, the expressions of the aunt, niece and nephew changed to varying degrees.
Mo Jinchuan and Princess Huayang were fine; their dark colors didn't change much, so they could still bear it.
But Mo Yingxue couldn't bear it for a moment.
She crossed her arms, her eyes full of sarcasm as she said, "If the Marquis of Yongchuan loves his daughter so much, why didn't he find her a suitable husband sooner rather than later? Instead, he forced her to seduce men in public?"
Song Huai'en's face suddenly darkened. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Song Baozhu shriek, "I didn't seduce him!"
Mo Yingxue sneered, "Yes, yes, you didn't seduce him. You just didn't say anything to refute him when he mistook you for someone else."
Sun Mingkun had personally admitted this in front of everyone and would not allow her to deny it.
Song Baozhu's face turned pale in an instant, her lips moved but she couldn't speak.
Fearing that she might say something she shouldn't in a hurry, Song Huai'en angrily scolded her, "You did such a shameful thing, and Princess Huayang didn't drown you in the well on the spot. She's already showing mercy.
If you dare to talk nonsense again, your father will beat you to death, so that your reputation will not be ruined and you will live a life worse than death in the future."
He cursed Song Baozhu, but his eyes were observing the performance of Princess Huayang and Mo Yingxue calmly.
Both of them are women. Could they really just watch her die?
Song Huai'en didn't believe it.
Princess Huayang is a respectable person. No matter what, she would not allow anyone to die in her own house.
As for Mo Yingxue, she is just a little girl with a tough mouth but a soft heart. No matter how fiercely she yells, she cannot remain indifferent when faced with human lives.
Song Huai'en was just thinking about it when he heard Princess Huayang speak.
But what she said was completely different from what he thought.
"A woman in her twenties is not considered young, and after something like this happened, I'm afraid she can forget about getting married in the future.
But she is a life after all, and she was raised by your side. It would be a pity if she died, so send her out of the capital to be raised."
Song Huai'en said with a grim expression, "The Yongchuan Marquisate doesn't have any properties outside the capital. I really don't know how to accommodate them."
"It's not difficult." Princess Huayang glanced at Yunque, who immediately handed her a booklet.
She said, "This is a pass and the deed to a farm. Although it's not big, it has land and a few servants, enough for Miss Song to live a worry-free life for half her life."
Song Baozhu finally reacted after hearing this, her face turned pale and she said, "No, I won't leave!"
She wants to find a good husband and be a superior person, so how can she go to a farm?
No, she would never go.
Princess Huayang saw through her thoughts and said meaningfully, "If you are unwilling to leave, I do have another way for you."
Song Baozhu's eyes lit up and she said quickly, "I choose the second path!"
Anyway, the worst that can happen is that she will be betrothed to that damn Changle Hou's son.
Whether she is the Crown Prince's Consort or the Madam, it is better than being sent out of the capital and living a miserable life with a foreseeable end.
She had heard that the third daughter of the Lin family was sent to the farm and was tortured beyond recognition.
He escaped back from outside with all his might, but before he could enjoy a single day of happiness, he suddenly fell ill and died overnight.
Even if she moved her toes, she would know that the Lin family thought it was too embarrassing to have such a sister, so they got rid of her privately.
She didn't want to be sent away and end up like Miss Lin San!
Song Huai'en had a bad feeling after hearing what Princess Huayang said.
But now, he has no choice.
As a father, he knew better than anyone whether his son could become successful through the imperial examination.
If he were to send his daughter, the only one who could help him by marrying her, out of the capital, all his previous plans would be ruined.
Not to mention anything else, he will find it difficult to hold his head up in front of others from now on.
Even within the clan, what he said had no weight at all.
Meeting the expectant gazes of the father and daughter, Princess Huayang curled her lips and said, "I am on good terms with the abbot of Fahua Temple. There is a nunnery next to Fahua Temple with beautiful scenery, making it a great place to stay healthy."
Song Baozhu murmured, "Fahua Temple, Nunnery..."
Compared to her pale face, Song Huai'en's complexion was not much better.
He tried to argue, "Princess, that nunnery is for those who have seen through the mundane world and become monks. How can Baozhu, an unmarried girl, go there?"
Princess Huayang did not answer but asked, "Why can't she go?"
Without waiting for Song Huai'en to speak, she asked again: "Does the Marquis of Yongchuan think that your daughter can still get married?"
After these words were spoken, Song Huai'en's face became even uglier.
Song Baozhu rushed forward and grabbed his sleeve, begging, "Daddy, save me! I don't want to go to a nunnery!"
If she cuts her hair and becomes a nun, she will be a nun for the rest of her life. She might as well just die.
Song Baozhu was about to speak when she heard Princess Huayang, who was sitting at the head of the table, say quietly, "If you are truly righteous and willing to die to prove your innocence, I will personally go to the palace and ask His Majesty for mercy for you."
When he heard the word "Enrong", Song Huai'en's expression changed obviously.
But how could Song Baozhu be willing to accept this favor in exchange for her own life?
Seeing that Song Huai'en was unwilling to speak for her, Song Baozhu quickly kowtowed twice to Princess Huayang, tears streaming down her face as she said, "Princess, I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again.
Please, Your Highness, please let me live!"
Yun Que's face immediately darkened and he shouted, "Miss Song, be careful with your words. My prince is clearly trying to find a way out for you."
With tears and snot all over her face, Song Baozhu no longer cared about her image and cried out, "Your Highness, the Princess is such a person of such status! With just one word from you, those people outside will shut up."
Princess Huayang was indeed a little surprised that she could think of this.
She asked, "Why should I help you?"
"Why..." Song Baozhu murmured, quickly recalling in her mind the connection between their family and Princess Huayang.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on Song Yanxi's face.
She seemed to have thought of something and said hurriedly, "My sister will soon enter the Jin Palace and become your granddaughter-in-law. She will call you aunt.
Our two families are relatives!"
