Chapter 218 The Old Princess’ Dilemma



In Song Qianning's yard.

In the room, Mammy looked at her with extreme disapproval.

When there were no other servants around, the nanny finally couldn't help but say, "Miss Song, you shouldn't have spoken to the old princess like that outside the palace today."

"Then according to what the nanny said, I have to endure and let the old princess teach me a lesson?" Song Qianning said unhappily.

"That's not what I meant." The nanny shook her head, with disapproval and a hint of worry still between her brows.

After a long sigh, she continued, "The old princess was a bit too much in today's matter, but you shouldn't treat her like this regardless of the occasion."

"The old princess is the prince's mother. You are the prince's fiancée and the future mistress of the palace. The old princess is your mother-in-law and elder. It is absolutely unacceptable for a daughter-in-law to have conflicts with her mother-in-law."

Unaware of what she was thinking about, the nanny grew even more worried. She advised, "How can a daughter-in-law argue with her mother-in-law? It wouldn't be good for Miss Song's reputation if it got out."

"In my opinion, Miss Song should go to the old princess to apologize and give in."

After hearing what the nanny said, Song Qianning's face became even more unhappy.

Although she was unhappy, she could sense that the nanny said these words and asked her to submit to the princess because she didn't want her to be known as unfilial.

What really made Song Qianning waver was the nanny's next words: "Miss Song and the old princess, one is the prince's future princess, and the other is the prince's mother. It's not easy for the prince to be caught in the middle."

Hearing this, Song Qianning fell into hesitation.

There was some truth in what the nanny said. She had a conflict with the princess, and Qin Ye, who was caught in the middle, had the most difficult job.

When she marries Qin Ye in the future, the old princess will really be her mother-in-law. They will see each other every day, and there will be constant conflicts between them, which will also be embarrassing.

Under the persuasion of the nanny, Song Qianning finally agreed to go and apologize to the old princess and surrender.

Feeling depressed, Song Qianning found some rice paper and a scroll of Buddhist scriptures and began to copy the scriptures.

She copied several pages until her hands were so tired that they were almost sore, and then she put down her pen.

Upon learning that Song Qianning was going to see the old princess, Da Wang immediately spoke up and said that he wanted to go together. Xiao Ya, who happened to hear their conversation, also acted coquettishly and asked to go together.

Finally, the people who went to see the old princess's courtyard included Song Qianning and the nanny, as well as two more cubs.

In the room, after the servant informed Song Qianning that she had brought someone in, the old princess sneered and sat up straight: "Bring the person in."

Since she was here to submit, after entering, Song Qianning politely called out, "Old Princess."

"Oh." The old princess looked her up and down, and said sarcastically, "Miss Song, how come you have the time to come to see me? My yard is small and there is no room for you."

"I'm here to apologize to the old princess." Song Qianning gritted her teeth and said with all her might, "To make amends to the old princess, I specially copied some Buddhist scriptures before coming here. Please have a look at them."

The old princess glanced at the Buddhist scriptures in Song Qianning's hand and signaled to the maid beside her with her eyes.

The maid took the Buddhist scriptures from Song Qianning and handed them respectfully to the old princess.

After taking the Buddhist scriptures, the old princess glanced at them twice before slamming them on the table and snorting coldly, "Song Qianning!"

"I told you personally outside the mansion before that I would ask you to copy a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures before coming back to find me. You only copied a few pages, not even a whole volume, and you're just being perfunctory like this?"

She couldn't be angry, she couldn't be angry. The person in front of her was her future mother-in-law. She couldn't be angry, it would do her no good to get hurt.

Trying to comfort herself in her heart, Song Qianning tried to make her smile appear sincere: "Replying to the old princess, I absolutely copied the Buddhist scriptures with all my heart."

"Humph, I said you are not serious and that's it." The old princess looked contemptuous.

After mocking Song Qianning, the old princess turned her gaze to Da Wang and Xiao Ya beside her, and her look of disgust became even stronger.

After gazing at them impudently, the old princess raised her chin and said, "These two children bear some resemblance to my son, but there are so many people who look alike in the world. If they are biological children, then every family in the capital would have gained countless more relatives."

"What does the old princess mean?" Song Qianning's smile was almost unsustainable.

"Who knows if these two children are my son's flesh and blood? You can't just say they are. We have to test their kinship by dropping blood."

After she finished speaking, her voice suddenly rose: "Come here, bring a needle and a bowl."

When she saw the sharp needle in the maid's hand, the little girl's face turned pale with fright and she burst into tears.

"Mother, brother, don't let the needle prick your little girl."

Da Wang held Xiao Ya's hand, his little face slightly pale, and he looked around vigilantly.

Song Qianning originally wanted to try to apologize to the old princess, but when she saw the looks of Da Wang and Xiao Ya, she immediately became angry.

What's the point of apologizing? Her child is more important!

Protecting Dawang and Xiaoya behind her, Song Qianning stopped being polite with the old princess and sneered on the spot: "It seems that the old princess has been in the Buddhist temple for so long, but it was all in vain."

"You can be so cruel to two children. If the Buddha knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't even let you into the temple."

After hearing Song Qianning's words, the old princess almost fainted from anger. She stood up suddenly and said, "Just try to say one more word to me!"

Seeing this, the nanny standing nearby stepped forward and said respectfully, "Miss Song was also confused by anger. Please don't blame me, Old Princess. The engagement was granted by His Majesty himself. Before granting the engagement, His Majesty must have been clear about the identities of the two young men and women."

She said she was apologizing for Song Qianning, but in fact she was pointing out to the old princess that the identities of Da Wang and Xiao Ya were acknowledged by the emperor himself.

"Could it be that the old princess is questioning His Majesty's intentions?"

The old princess's face turned pale and blue, and after a while she forced a smile: "Of course not."

In fact, Dan Dawang's face looks exactly like Qin Ye's, and you can tell the relationship between the two.

The old princess deliberately proposed the blood test to make things difficult for Song Qianning.

With the nanny's words in mind, forcing herself to continue would be tantamount to questioning the emperor's will, and the old princess was not in a position to continue.

When Qin Ye came back from outside the mansion, a servant reported the matter to him.

When Qin Ye learned that the old princess was making things difficult for Song Qianning and her two children, and even wanted to use blood tests to identify the two children's relationship, his face immediately darkened.

Frightened by the coldness of his body, the servant's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

Qin Ye knew that the old princess disliked Song Qianning, but he did not expect her to be like this.

As the regent, Qin Ye had more than one mansion. In a rage, he took Song Qianning and Da Wang Xiaoya and moved to another mansion.

"What did you say?!" The old princess stood up hastily and looked at the maid in disbelief.

"The prince and Miss Song have already moved out."

She never expected that Qin Ye would really move his people out of the house. The old princess sat back on the couch with a grim expression.

After this incident, the old princess, fearing that her son would become alienated from her, planned to find an opportunity to embarrass Song Qianning again and let her know how powerful she was, did not dare to continue to embarrass her.
