Chapter 80: Give Up
Liu Qingyin's expression suddenly froze.
She said this just to use Old Madam Song to slap Su Tan in the face and tell him that the Song family would not be as stingy when marrying her as they were when they married Su Tan.
But in the end, Madam Song actually took advantage of the situation and decided not to give her a betrothal gift?!
Liu Qingyin's face turned dark and she almost fainted.
The guests at the Jian'an Marquis Mansion didn't expect that after so many years, Old Madam Song still behaved in such a petty manner.
He was so reluctant to even give a dowry when getting married. He couldn't afford to give Su Tan these things in the past because the Song family was really poor and couldn't even afford to eat.
How come now that Song Tingchen has become the General Zhenbei, Madam Song is still so stingy?
Even though the ladies were knowledgeable and experienced, they were still shocked by Old Madam Song's shameless behavior.
…
"Oh, hehe... maybe... maybe it's because the rules are different in every place. But then again, it's your own life, and it's your own choice."
…
"Since both Madam Song and Miss Liu are so satisfied, then this is a good thing."
…
"That's right. It's none of our business anyway. As long as Old Madam Song and Miss Liu are happy, that's all that matters."
…
"Then congratulations in advance to General Song and Miss Liu on their harmonious marriage."
…
The ladies racked their brains and finally came up with some words of congratulations.
But Liu Qingyin couldn't laugh at all.
She knew that Old Madam Song was stingy.
But I didn't know that the other party would deduct it to this extent.
Although she came from a merchant family and her status was not prominent, she had never heard of anyone marrying a wife without even paying a dowry.
Liu Qingyin felt dizzy in front of her eyes and for the first time she was thinking of backing out.
This old lady Song is so mean. Can she really get everything she wants in the general's mansion?
Liu Qingyin gritted her teeth secretly, but couldn't help thinking that after all, Madam Song was not in good health and would not live for many years. As long as she could make the most of her life with Song Tingchen and give birth to a boy or girl as soon as possible, she would not have to worry about anything then.
Liu Qingyin made up her mind and immediately revealed a virtuous and gentle smile.
"I don't ask for anything else. For someone like me, being able to marry into the Song family is already a blessing from my past life."
"I will definitely be as virtuous as the Second Young Mistress of the Yu family, and take good care of my mother-in-law and my husband."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions became strange.
Ji Rong, the second young lady of the Yu family, is also the second young lady of the Minister of Revenue’s mansion.
This person is indeed a well-known virtuous woman.
But her husband...
Let’s not mention it!
During these few days, Ji Rong's husband was still indulging in prostitutes. He spent a fortune on a prostitute, redeemed her, took her into his house, and sent all kinds of gold and silver to her room.
The prostitute he favored didn't even take his legal wife Ji Rong seriously.
It's really pitiful.
When Liu Qingyin mentioned her name, Ji Rong smiled at her gently, her tone still gentle, "I just did what I should do."
"That's my duty."
Liu Qingyin lowered her eyes and said nothing.
As a wife, it is her duty to take care of her husband and be filial to her parents-in-law.
But since Ji Rong was such a good person, Liu Qingyin really looked down on her in her heart.
However, she smiled very gently, as if she didn't have a sharp edge at all. "I'm young, and I don't understand many things."
"I would like to learn more from Sister Ji then. I hope Sister Ji will not look down on me for being young and ignorant."
At first she even called her Young Madam.
At this moment, Guan Jirong, who has become very familiar with others, calls her sister.
Ji Rong didn't reject it either, and still smiled, looking like she had a good temper towards everyone.
"Yes, Miss Liu is innocent and simple, and I like her very much."
Liu Qingyin looked shy, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
The guests who heard this said: "..."
All the guests immediately gave Ji Rong an indescribable look.
Is Liu Qingyin innocent and simple?
Is there something wrong with their ears, or is Ji Rong crazy?
Everyone looked at each other, and the brave ones glanced at Su Tan's expression out of the corner of their eyes.
Su Tan didn't react much. His gaze just paused on Ji Rong for a moment before quickly moving away.
From the beginning to the end of the entire banquet, she never showed any abnormal expression as Madam Song wished.
In the end, Mrs. Song was actually angry herself.
I don't know what she is angry about.
When Su Tan left the Marquis of Jian'an's Mansion, he happened to meet Song Tingchen.
Song Tingchen's eyes were almost fixed on her.
He already knew her reaction in the ladies' section.
He looked at Su Tan gravely, his brows almost twisted into a knot, and said to her word by word: "I am getting married."
Su Tan's gaze fell on him, a puzzled look on his face. "I know."
"You know?" Song Tingchen was both amused and annoyed. His jawline was tightly clenched, and his expression suddenly became deep. He stared at her intently, "Besides these three words, you don't have anything else to say?"
Su Tan just felt confused.
As more and more wronged souls were extradited to the underworld, her cultivation level also increased greatly. Similarly, she became more and more calm when facing Song Tingchen and the Song family.
"What should I say?"
Or, what did Song Tingchen want to say to her?
Su Tan shook his head and said, "Then congratulations to General Song on his wedding in advance."
After all, she has already given her blessing.
It would be boring if Song Tingchen continued to pester her.
"You should be congratulating me!" Song Tingchen stared at her solemnly, then suddenly laughed out loud, "After all, you've abandoned your husband and children for three years. How could you possibly know how hard Xiaoxiao's life has been during these three years?"
"Now that Qingyin is taking care of him, you can get rid of this burden with peace of mind!"
Su Tan found it interesting.
She looked at Song Tingchen quietly and suddenly smiled.
"Song Tingchen, Song Xiao is just a stranger to me. He is not a burden."
Because I'm not qualified.
"You don't need to mention him in front of me. I've already said this before. I just pretend that this child doesn't exist. Who he chooses to be his mother, whether he is good or bad, has nothing to do with me."
She no longer owes Song Xiao anything.
Fate in this world cannot be forced.
Besides, she only has one child, Changle.
Song Tingchen stared at Su Tan without blinking, with a puzzled look on his face. He had never seen anyone as cruel as her, who could even abandon her own child.
"Su Tan, do you really care?"
If she had any intention, she shouldn't have said such cruel words.
Did she ever think about how sad Song Xiao would be if she knew this?
Su Tan pulled the corner of his mouth expressionlessly, and his eyes fell casually on Song Tingchen's face.
"What? If I don't continue to work like a slave for your Song family and risk my life for you, I'm called heartless?"
She knew that in Song Tingchen's eyes, a mother was born to give everything for her children.
So even if Song Xiao is considered an unfilial son in the eyes of everyone, she should still let bygones be bygones because he is still young.
She should even use her love to influence Song Xiao and let Song Xiao see the goodness of her as a mother.
But why?
"Song Tingchen, I'm not afraid to tell you today that no matter now or in the future, I will never stop for Song Xiao. I will give up on whoever is holding me back."
She has already started to practice the ruthless way.
It would be too funny if she was still obsessed with whether Song Xiao regarded her as her biological mother.
Song Tingchen looked at her quietly.
yes.
She will give up on whoever holds her back.
She will give up on anyone who makes her unhappy.
She gave up Xiaoxiao easily, just as she gave up herself easily.
He looked at Su Tan coldly, "I will stay with Qingyin forever. Su Tan, it's a good thing for Xiaoxiao to not have you as her mother."
