Chapter 595: Third Brother is Not Like This
Mo Yingxue's eyes instantly turned red when she heard this.
She grabbed Song Yanxi's hand and cried, "Fifth sister-in-law, I don't want to marry that pervert Wen Qi!"
When she thought of the rumors that Wen Qi enjoyed torturing people and even liked to eat human flesh, she trembled with fear.
Her eyes were red and she was crying, looking aggrieved. There was no trace of the arrogance she had just shown in front of Huang Feng.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, so she simply threw herself into Song Yanxi's arms, sobbing softly.
Sniffing, he said in a muffled voice, "Fifth sister-in-law, don't tell anyone that I was crying, or I will no longer be with you."
It seems threatening, but in fact it has no deterrent effect at all.
Instead, it looks like a kitten lying on the ground, exposing its belly to humans, waiting to be touched, but still pretending to breathe.
Song Yanxi couldn't help but reach out her hand, gently stroked her head, and said softly: "Princess, don't worry. With the prince here, he will never let you marry into the Liang Kingdom."
"Really?" Mo Yingxue looked up at her, her eyes wet.
The eager look in her eyes seemed as if she would burst into tears of grievance if Song Yanxi dared to say no.
How could anyone think such a cute girl is domineering?
And Mo Jinchuan, how could he have the heart to curse at her face?
He really is heartless.
Seeing Song Yanxi nod, Mo Yingxue burst into laughter and said sweetly, "Fifth sister-in-law is so kind. It is a blessing for my fifth brother to marry you."
Song Yanxi was amused by her words and deliberately teased her, "Does the prince know what the princess said?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yingxue immediately shook her body and shook her head like a rattle.
She forced a smile and said flatteringly, "Fifth sister-in-law is the best. She definitely won't bear to see me get scolded."
She was right, Song Yanxi really couldn't bear to let go.
No matter who you are, if you meet a sister-in-law like this, you won’t be able to be cruel to her.
Although they are of similar age and both are young girls, Lin Tingxuan is worlds apart from him.
She was so blinded by greed that she treated the jackal as a relative, asking for whatever she wanted from the mother and daughter, and letting her true heart be trampled upon.
The mother and daughter of the He family are now one dead and one disabled. They have brought this upon themselves and cannot blame anyone else.
Song Yanxi was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Mo Yingxue ask, "Fifth sister-in-law, why are your hands so cold?"
As she spoke, she instructed the maid beside her, "Xianglan, go back to the palace and fetch the warm jade that my father gave me as a gift for my birthday last year."
Xianglan's face showed hesitation, "Princess, this..."
Mo Yingxue's face turned cold, "Why, I don't need you anymore?"
Xianglan hurriedly said that she didn't dare and could only look at Song Yanxi for help.
But Song Yanxi had already received Mo Yingxue's hint and didn't even raise her eyelids, so naturally it was impossible for her to understand what she meant.
Fearing that any further delay would anger her master, Xianglan had no choice but to leave.
After the people left, Mo Yingxue finally let go of Song Yanxi's hand and smiled sheepishly, "Thank you so much for covering for me today, Sister-in-law."
She said with some annoyance, "My mother is really something. She was afraid that I would go to the post station to look for Wen Qi and get upset, so she specially asked Xianglan to follow me everywhere.
Those who don’t know me would think that I was picked up by the Queen Mother and that Wen Qi is her biological son.”
Song Yanxi said, "Princess, don't be upset. The Queen did this for the sake of the diplomatic relations between the two countries. She loves you the most.
After all, Prince Liang came here under the pretext of negotiating peace, and as the saying goes, one shouldn't strike a smiling face, so it's natural not to offend him easily."
Mo Yingxue snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "What peace talks? It's just nice talk. You're scared by my fifth brother and are just timid and cowardly."
She gritted her teeth and said, "He's so arrogant when he comes to admit his defeat. I don't see how sincere he is."
When Song Yanxi heard this, there was a look of surprise in her eyes.
Mo Yingxue smiled and asked, "Fifth Sister-in-law, do you really think that I am a useless person who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun?"
Song Yanxi: "Princess, please understand. I have absolutely no such intention."
She was just surprised at Princess Roujia's opinion on the matter.
Many ministers in the court, even the brothers Prince An and Prince Ning, were enthusiastic and positive about the peace talks.
Some people even strongly support Mo Yingxue, the legitimate princess, to go to Liang State to marry.
In their words, Princess Roujia, as the legitimate daughter of the emperor and empress, has enjoyed the support of the people of Da'an for many years, and she should stand up when the people need her.
Besides, if she married him, she would be the Crown Princess, and when Emperor Liang passed away and Wen Qi ascended the throne, she would become the Queen of Liang.
Second to none, above ten thousand men.
As long as she is there, war will not easily break out between the two countries, and the people of An and Liang will be able to live and work in peace.
For them, this is the simplest and most reliable relationship.
But what if Liang State unilaterally breaks the alliance?
At that time, what should Mo Yingxue, the Queen of Liang State who was born as the daughter of Emperor Anguo, do?
Song Yanxi thought that those who supported the marriage as a bridge connecting the two countries did not expect that they would fall out sooner or later.
They just thought that she was just a princess and they just gave her away.
She is not their daughter, nor does she threaten their interests. She may even bring decades of peace to the country.
Why not take advantage of such a good deal?
Mo Yingxue's eyes lit up with laughter as she explained, "Don't worry, Fifth Sister-in-law. I was just joking with you."
She looked back at the door and lowered her voice, "Actually, I came here this time because I have something to ask Fifth Sister-in-law."
"Princess, please feel free to ask anything you want to ask."
"I heard from my father that my fifth sister-in-law has been helping my third brother take care of his health these days. How is his health?"
"Prince Ning was struck by an arrow that wounded his heart and lungs. It was a very serious injury. He was lucky to be able to survive."
Song Yanxi paused and said thoughtfully, "The princess and His Royal Highness Prince Ning are siblings and grew up together. She should understand his temperament best."
Hearing her hidden meaning, Mo Yingxue's eyebrows knitted together in worry, and she sighed, "Third brother isn't like this."
Afraid that Song Yanxi wouldn't believe her, she explained, "My mother told me that my third brother used to love to laugh, play, and make noises. He always liked to sneak out of the palace with his younger brothers and sisters to eat delicious food.
Even the fifth brother who likes to have a sour face likes to play with the third brother, and is even teased by the third brother's wife as a little tail."
Mo Yingxue asked suspiciously, "Didn't Fifth Brother tell Fifth Sister-in-law about all this?"
As she spoke, her expression changed slightly, and she murmured, "That's right, how can Fifth Brother even bring himself to talk about something like that?"
That kind of thing?
Meeting Song Yanxi's puzzled eyes, Mo Yingxue forced a smile and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, don't listen to my nonsense. Third brother is more than ten years older than me. I was running around when he got married to Third sister-in-law."
He looked like he was trying to cover up his guilt.
Song Yanxi had no intention of prying into other people's secrets, and only said, "Anger is harmful to the body, not to mention that Prince Ning has an old illness.
If the princess sees Prince Ning, she might as well persuade him to work less and rest peacefully, as this is the key to longevity."
Mo Yingxue's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this. "Fifth Sister-in-law, do you mean that my third brother won't die in the next few years?"
