Like an uncontrollable tide, her heart involuntarily tightened, as if being held back by something.
On second thought, the Duke's wife and his mother were cousins after all, and his elder sister was the eldest daughter and had a noble status. It seemed natural for Fu Yuruo to marry his elder sister.
It's actually quite good to have a brother-in-law like Fu Yu. He is not only a good person with outstanding talents, but also a good man worthy of trust. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved in her heart.
Fu Yu is indeed a good person. Whether in terms of appearance or inner qualities, he is impeccable.
Song Wanwan sincerely hopes that he can get everything he wants, whether it is career success or family happiness. She sincerely hopes that he can have a happy life.
Two days later, as the first rays of morning sun shone into the yard, Song Wanwan got up early to pay her respects to the Princess Consort.
As soon as we approached the palace, we heard bursts of laughter coming from the house. The sound was clear and pleasant, and it was obvious that a pleasant conversation was going on inside, making people want to join in.
Just as she reached the corridor, Song Yueyue suddenly ran out and grabbed her hand: "It's really bad people who get what they deserve. Guess what happened?"
My sister's eyes were shining with excitement, and she was obviously eager to share the good news she had just heard. Her words were filled with unconcealable joy.
"What happened?"
Song Wanwan tilted her head and asked curiously, her eyes revealing strong anticipation. She couldn't help but wonder what her sister was talking about that made her so excited.
"Zhao Manxiang went horseback riding by the Peach Blossom River," Song Yueyue began, lowering her voice. "It was a sunny day, and the scenery along the Peach Blossom River was picturesque. The sun shone on the clear water, sparkling the waves like a vivid painting. Peach blossoms bloomed on both banks, and the pink flowers swayed gently in the breeze, emitting a faint fragrance. She was dressed in a red dress, the bright color was particularly dazzling against the emerald green grass. She rode a tall horse and galloped across the grass by the river. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and she looked heroic, like a female knight. Unexpectedly, at this time, she ran into the Khan of Beiyou. It is said that the Khan was over sixty years old, but still in good health, with a resolute face. He sat on horseback, his eyes sharp and sweeping around, looking majestic. The Khan took a liking to Zhao Manxiang at first sight and immediately became interested in her. And now, the court has decided to marry Zhao Manxiang to the old Khan as a marriage alliance."
Although Song Yueyue's tone was lowered, the uncontrollable joy on her face was evident.
"How could the Zhao family possibly agree to this?"
Song Wanwan said in surprise.
Song Wanwan actually doesn't like Zhao Manxiang very much.
Because usually, Zhao Manxiang always shows a domineering attitude and looks fearless.
Moreover, she often caused trouble and could not gain any benefits even among her sisters, but she always liked to make trouble for everyone.
Whenever she is unhappy, she often takes her anger out on others.
However, thinking about what was about to happen, and thinking that the arrogant Zhao Manxiang was actually going to marry far away in Beiyou, to marry the already old Khan, Song Wanwan couldn't help feeling a little sad.
After all, Zhao Manxiang was a beautiful girl from Daliang, and it was really sad that she was sent to a foreign country like this.
Moreover, the old man was not a good person either. Everyone knew how cruel and ruthless he was. If such a man became Zhao Manxiang's husband, it would undoubtedly put her in trouble.
"No matter how much he loves her, he can't disobey the imperial decree. For the sake of the country, the fate of a mere woman, the emperor naturally knows how to weigh it. Besides, this is a helpless move."
Song Yueyue said with a smug smile.
She seemed to be extremely excited about this matter, as if she could see Zhao Manxiang's miserable future, and she was secretly laughing in her heart.
"You have a point."
Song Wanwan lowered her head, lowered her long eyelashes and spoke softly, sighing in her heart that things in the world are impermanent.
There are too many variables in life, who knows what will happen next?
I originally thought that I would live a comfortable life all my life, but now I am facing this situation.
"Sister, why don't we go to the palace together and pay our respects to the Queen Mother?"
Song Yueyue suddenly pulled Song Wanwan's sleeve and suggested.
There was a sly smile on her face, and she seemed to have ulterior motives.
"This...is it better for us not to go at this time?"
Song Wanwan responded hesitantly.
She didn't quite understand why Song Yueyue made such a suggestion at this critical juncture, and always felt that something was wrong.
"Zhao Manxiang is currently being held captive in the palace to learn the rules. Let's go take a look and see if she can still be as arrogant as before!"
Song Yueyue raised her chin and said provocatively.
There was a hint of provocation and sarcasm in her tone, as if she couldn't wait to see what Zhao Manxiang looked like now.
"Let's not do anything to kill her," Song Wanwan sighed. "I heard Zhao Manxiang will be leaving for a foreign country soon. Let's not make things worse for her and bring bad luck upon herself."
Song Wanwan really didn't want to add insult to injury at this moment. After all, the other party was also a human being and had his own misfortunes.
Everyone may encounter unexpected events, and we should be more compassionate and understanding at this moment.
"younger sister!"
Song Yueyue stamped her foot in dissatisfaction, a hint of annoyance on her face. "Why are you so afraid of things? How boring! What will you do in the future if you are as timid as a mouse? How will you survive in this complicated world? Are you going to hide behind me for the rest of your life?"
Song Wanwan pursed her lips, her eyes filled with helplessness and melancholy.
She was actually very confused in her heart, and didn't understand why her sister always liked to take risks, as if she could handle anything easily.
"Sister..." Song Wanwan wanted to say something else, trying to persuade Song Yueyue to give up this idea.
She knew that doing so would only bring unnecessary trouble, but she didn't want to make her sister angry and destroy the relationship between the sisters.
"Can we solve this problem in a different way? Maybe we can find a safer way."
"You have to go! Otherwise, don't call me sister anymore!"
Song Yueyue's attitude was very firm, and there was no hint of compromise in her tone.
Her eyes seemed to burn with an indomitable fire, as if to say, "Nothing can stop my determination to move forward."
Song Wanwan sighed inwardly. This elder sister was really spoiled by her mother.
Many times, no matter how much she resists in her heart, she has to do what the other person wants in the end, no matter how reluctant she is.
But this time, I really don’t want to go.
She felt extremely frustrated, but helpless.
