"From what I've known about Lin over the past year, she's not a very smart person. If she were smart enough, her status would be higher, both in the palace and in the Lin family, and her life would be much better. In the future, especially after the eldest young master gets married, she will have everything she wants. But she's just a pretty face. I think the Lin family saw her in the eye when they sent her in."
Song Chengze blushed when he heard Meng Qi say this. Meng Qi looked at his expression and said quickly, "I'm not saying that you are a person who likes beauty, but after all, Lin is a concubine, so..."
Song Chengze waved his hand, "I know what you mean. You're right. At that time, the Lin family had another legitimate daughter, but she wasn't as pretty as Lin's, so the Lin family sent her here. And over the years, I'm glad I didn't impulsively make her my wife. If I had, this mansion..."
Song Chengze smiled bitterly, thinking about everything that had happened since Meng Qi entered the palace, as well as the traitors she had dug out, which almost covered the entire inner house. Although they were all small fry and did not cause any substantial harm to the palace, it proved that both the Lin and Gong families were inferior in ability to Meng Qi.
"There are some things you cannot decide, just like Lin and Gong, just like you had to marry me. And with your ability and situation at the time, some things could only be allowed to happen. So, some mistakes are really not yours, and you don't have to blame yourself. People's hearts will change. Who would have thought that Nanny Hai would betray you, who would have thought that Li Mancang and Ms. Li from the palace would hide for so long." Meng Qi said as she covered Song Chengze's right hand that was placed on the edge of the kang.
"As for Lin, I do have evidence against her. It's not about her betraying or selling out the palace, but something else. But now is not the time. I have to think of a way, because there is also the young master involved. If I accidentally let the young master misunderstand me, it won't be a big deal for me, but if it ruins the father-son relationship between you and him, then the loss will outweigh the gain."
Song Chengze looked down at Meng Qi's delicate white hands, which glowed softly under the dim light. He raised his hand and, as he had imagined many times, intertwined his fingers with Meng Qi's.
Meng Qi was stunned at first, feeling the warmth of Song Chengze's palm. She didn't know why she covered it so naturally just now. Song Chengze's appearance just now was not as steady and indifferent as usual, which made her feel powerless and decadent. At this time, Song Chengze was more like an ordinary man, not the prince who was trying to maintain an appearance every day.
Song Chengze's thumb gently rubbed Meng Qi's knuckles, making Meng Qi feel a little itchy and an indescribable weird feeling. She wanted to escape but couldn't bear to let go.
Time seemed to stand still. Meng Qi looked at Song Chengze, who was rubbing herself seriously with his head down, and sighed softly. He became silent just after hearing what she said. She was afraid that he had unusual feelings for Xiao Lin.
Come to think of it, Xiaolin has the shadow of his first wife, and she was the first one to be by his side, and there is also Song Baimo here. If Song Chengze really knew about the things between Xiaolin and Cheng Qian, he didn't know if he could bear it.
Song Chengze heard Meng Qi sigh and withdrew his thoughts. How many years had it been since he had felt this way? To be precise, this feeling was too rare for him. The first time he had this feeling was when he saw the tender green figure in his mother's palace.
But the feeling today was different from that time. If what he had just seen was a man's instinctive reaction, then now, Song Chengze admitted that he was distracted. Just like when he had just gently stroked her hand, just rubbing it at the base of her thumb, repeating the same action, it made him feel so wonderful, as if it was a very interesting and addictive action.
There were no erotic thoughts in it, just pure peace of mind and comfort. Song Chengze's eyes dimmed slightly. The long-term oppressive life made him weigh the pros and cons before making every decision. He would think three or even five or seven times before making a decision. He would never let himself be in a situation where he was unsure or unclear.
But now, an idea that Song Chengze had long ago became firm at this moment. He exhaled a breath. The difficult part was not making a decision, but the process before making a decision. Once a decision was made, everything became clear.
It was like every decision he'd made since then, but different. In the past, he'd always made decisions after predicting their feasibility and chances of success. But this time, he wasn't sure if it would yield the results he wanted, but he decided to give it a try and follow his heart.
Looking up again, Meng Qi saw a deep smile in Song Chengze's eyes. Meng Qi was very surprised. What did this mean? They were talking about Lin's. Why did Song Chengze have such an expression? Was he irritated?
"Just go ahead and do what's best for the Lin family. If you can come up with a solution that satisfies both sides, that's even better. If not, leave it to me. While your concerns about Brother Mo are certainly valid, you can't let him ruin the affairs of the mansion. I'm saying that if Lin's actions really do have a negative impact on the mansion,
Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Song Chengze said that. She suddenly didn't want to tell Song Chengze about Xiao Lin's affair with Cheng Qian. Just now, she had another idea that she could give a try.
Feeling that the strength in her hand had loosened a little, Meng Qi pulled her hand out, and with her left hand casually stroked the base of her right hand that had just been rubbed by Song Chengze, and told him the original intention of her fake pregnancy news.
Song Chengze listened quietly, letting Meng Qi finish her words without interrupting. After Meng Qi finished, he stood up and walked back and forth a few steps. "Do you still have suspicions about anyone in this mansion? Do you want to use this fake news to expose them all?"
