Song Qingxue didn't have much stuff, just a pack of silver needles and a box of medicine.
As for those gorgeous clothes and jewelry, she would not be able to use them in the future, so she was too lazy to take them with her. She just left them in the mansion and waited for the servants to deal with them.
After Song Qingxue put away the things, she glanced sideways at Zhu Pin'er.
"Empress." Zhu Pin'er called out, but didn't continue speaking.
She knew Song Qingxue had something to say to her.
"Don't call me Madam." Song Qingxue raised her hand and touched the top of her head, smiled slightly, and then said: "Pin'er, is there any progress in your relationship with Lin Xian?"
Although Zhu Pin'er came to the capital to marry Lin Xian, Lin Xian, this wooden stake, has not expressed his opinion since his return. As a result, in order to stay in the palace legitimately, she had to work as a maid here temporarily.
Zhu Pin'er sighed upon hearing this, and a trace of worry suddenly appeared on her face, "No progress yet."
"Then I'm leaving this time, and you stay in the palace and be careful." After all, she came here halfway, and since then she has been in charge of things in Chunhui Garden. She didn't know if she would be bullied if she continued to stay in the palace.
However, Zhu Pin'er is much smarter than other girls, and with Lin Xian protecting her, she should not suffer any grievances, right?
As Song Qingxue was thinking, Zhu Pin'er reached out and grabbed her sleeve, "Miss, I will go back with you."
"Hmm?" Song Qingxue raised her eyebrows slightly, quite puzzled, "Why are you going back with me?"
If she went back to the general's mansion with her, it would be difficult for Zhu Pin'er to see Lin Xian again.
"I don't have any relatives in the capital, and you have always taken care of me. Now that you have gone back, I naturally cannot continue to stay in the palace."
"But what about you and Lin Xian?" Song Qingxue was most worried about Pin'er. She had been in the capital for so long, and she didn't know what Lin Xian was thinking.
"I don't know what he thinks. He never said he likes me." At this point, Zhu Pin'er quickly stopped the topic and said to her with a smile: "Oh, forget it, forget it. I won't think about it anymore. Anyway, I will follow you. Wherever you go, I will go."
She did come to the capital for Lin Xiancai, but after arriving here, it was Song Qingxue who took care of her more.
She had been a homeless child since she was young. She came to the capital from Xunnan with her courage, but the man she longed for in her heart had not given her a reply yet.
If Song Qingxue hadn't kept her in the palace, she might still be homeless. Rather than continue to wait for an unknown answer in the palace, she would rather follow Song Qingxue who gave her a home.
As for her fate with Lin Xian, whether it will end here or not, well, let's wait and see and leave it to fate to decide!
Song Qingxue thought it would be better for her to follow him, so she did not continue to persuade her. She just asked: "In that case, do you want to say goodbye to Lin Xian?"
"No." Zhu Pin'er shook her head. "When I came back, he had just fallen asleep."
I don't want to disturb him, but I'm also afraid I'll be reluctant to see him.
"Oh well."
Song Qingxue held the things she had collected in her arms and said, "Since you're not going, then let's go."
"Okay." Zhu Pin'er responded and took the box from him. "Miss, let me help you get it."
After walking out of the room, Song Qingxue glanced at the four maids waiting in the yard. After thinking for a while, she simply said a few words to them.
After saying that, she and Zhu Pin'er left Chunhui Garden.
In fact, she still had some feelings for Chunhuiyuan. After all, it was the courtyard where she had lived since she first came to this world, and it was also the only place she could go after quarreling with Xiahou Chongyuan. Chunhuiyuan was the place she was most familiar with in this world.
But from now on, I will probably never come back here again.
Song Qingxue thought about it and looked back reluctantly.
But the moment she stopped happened to allow her and Su Ruqian to meet at the fork in the road leading to the two courtyards.
"Song Qingxue? You killed someone, yet you still have the time to wander around?"
"It's none of your business." Song Qingxue was too lazy to pay attention to her. She fixed her eyes on the road ahead and walked around her and continued forward.
Unexpectedly, Su Ruqian caught up with her and blocked her way with outstretched arms.
"Oh, let me take a good look. You killed Princess Changle. Based on the relationship between the prince and the princess, you probably won't live long. I have to remember what you look like first."
Seeing her gloating expression, Song Qingxue just found it funny.
"Why do you want to remember my appearance? When the prince finds out that you have cheated on me, he will execute you, so that you can find me as your companion in the underworld?"
As soon as Song Qingxue said this, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you bitch!" Su Ruqian raised her hand in frustration and wanted to hit her in the face, but she grabbed her wrist halfway.
"Su Ruqian, you are just a concubine in the palace, how dare you disrespect the eldest lady of the general's mansion?"
Song Qingxue shook off her hand, but suddenly laughed, then lowered her voice and said, "Su Ruqian, you know whether I am talking nonsense or not. I won't expose you, but if you want to fight for the position of princess, you'd better get rid of your mistress as soon as possible, otherwise you will die before me."
“You! You…”
Su Ruqian said "you" several times in a row, but she couldn't say the rest of the words.
Because Song Qingxue was indeed not wrong, but how did she know?
Su Ruqian was very scared in her heart. Thinking about this, even the look in her eyes when she looked at Song Qingxue showed a bit more fear.
Song Qingxue looked at her expression and naturally knew what she wanted to say, but it was getting late and she had to go home quickly.
Without saying another word to her, Song Qingxue just brushed past her and left.
When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw a handsome man riding on a tall horse, and he was leading another horse beside him.
Seeing her come out, the man dismounted from his horse, took two steps towards her, then put his hand on her head and ruffled her casually tied hair.
"Qingxue, your brother is here to take you home." He didn't ask her the reason for the divorce, nor did he blame her at all. He just said this gently and confidently.
This is the eldest son of the general’s mansion, her brother Song Qingfeng whom she met for the first time.
The one who loved her the most besides General Song.
Song Qingxue smiled, took the reins from his hand, and got on the horse by holding the saddle.
"Miss." Zhu Pin'er looked at the horse in front of her and couldn't help but start to worry.
She can't ride a horse at all!
"It's okay, come up and ride with me." Song Qingxue said, and reached out to pull her.
After Zhu Pin'er sat firmly, Song Qingxue raised the whip and urged the horse to set off.
It was getting late and there were only a few pedestrians on the long street, which was a great opportunity for the two horses to roam the street.
"Qingxue, your riding skills have declined a bit!" Song Qingfeng flicked the whip and surpassed Song Qingxue.
Song Qingxue didn't mind. She smiled and increased her speed, saying, "I haven't ridden a horse for a long time! Brother, when we get back, you can teach me martial arts!"
"Okay!" Song Qingfeng didn't know what kind of grievances his sister had suffered in the palace, and he would not ask. He just agreed with her and said, "Since you said so, don't blame me for being too strict with you in the future!"
"Of course!"
