Song Wanwan was stunned for a moment, thinking that the second prince was really scheming.
With that said, doesn't that clear the issue of sending people to spread lies?
Of course, this was also the second prince's test of Song Wanwan.
Song Wanwan said with lingering fear, "Who would scheme like that? I was halfway there when someone pulled me aside to talk for a while. Later, when I ran into my third brother, I realized someone had been spreading rumors."
The second prince looked at her inquiringly, but didn't see anything unusual.
He pondered how to give the Song family an explanation for this matter. Under the current circumstances, the Song family would not easily agree to the marriage. However, he always believed that everything depends on human effort. As long as he wanted it, there would definitely be a way.
The Qin family's birthday banquet ended just like that.
When the ladies from various mansions dispersed, they were still talking about what had happened today with great relish.
For a long time, this matter became a laughing stock among the major families in the capital.
When Song Wanwan and the others left the house, Su Shunci and Su Zhilan also boarded the Song family's carriage. Wang Shi saw that the sisters had something to say to each other, so she didn't ride with them, allowing the girls to talk privately.
After getting on the carriage, Su Shunci said mysteriously, "Sister Wanwan, do you know how the prince got involved with Rong Jin?"
Song Wanwan was stunned for a moment, "You know?"
Then he immediately guessed something and exclaimed, "Could it be..."
Su Shunci nodded proudly, "Zhilan and I did it."
She told Song Wanwan what had happened, and Song Wanwan was frightened.
"You two are so brave! Aren't you afraid that the Second Prince will suddenly wake up?"
"And the Wutong Garden is guarded by the Imperial Guards. If the Imperial Guards catch you two, you will be punished."
Su Shunci shrank his neck and said guiltily, "We were lucky and were not discovered."
In fact, she also knew that she was impulsive and almost got into big trouble.
Song Wanwan pondered for a moment, then suddenly ordered the driver to stop the car and asked someone to call Song Hongshen to the side of the car.
She told Song Hongshen what happened today at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, especially what Su Shunci and Su Zhilan did.
After finishing speaking, Song Wanwan said, "Third brother, I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives will find out. The Second Prince will definitely investigate thoroughly. If they are found to be the two of them, it will be another trouble."
After listening to this, Song Hongshen understood what Song Wanwan meant.
He said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
After hearing what he said, the people in the car were completely relieved.
After Song Hongshen left, the carriage started moving again.
Su Shunci said, "After this incident, the Second Prince should have completely given up on that idea, right?"
"How can he still have the nerve to propose marriage to the Song family after he made a fool of himself in public?"
Song Wanwan thought, however, that the Second Prince had big ambitions. At a time like this, he probably wouldn't care about his reputation anymore, only about how to achieve his goals.
However, the Emperor would probably grant the Second Prince and Rong Jin a marriage, and as the legitimate daughter of the Song family, it was impossible for her to be a concubine. This matter would probably end with an imperial decree granting the marriage, and by then the Second Prince would have given up.
Not only Song Wanwan, but others also thought so.
Even the Rong family had quietly set up the incense table, waiting to receive the imperial decree granting the marriage.
But until evening, no imperial decree granting the marriage was issued.
After Shen Zhixiu returned home, he told Su Qingyu what happened today. Su Qingyu was bored at home, so he thought of it as a way to entertain her.
Sure enough, Su Qingyu was like listening to a storyteller, and even the feeling of nausea was suppressed a lot.
Seeing that she liked listening to these things, Shen Zhixiu really told them vividly like a storyteller.
Su Qingyu jokingly said, "Even if Third Master doesn't become an official anymore, he can still support us mother and son by telling stories."
Shen Zhixiu rested his head on her legs and gently touched her belly which had not yet bulged.
"From now on, we'll rely on our son to support us."
"If he's not good at studying, let him help you with business."
Although he said this, since this was his first child, Shen Zhixiu still had high hopes for him.
Su Qingyu leaned against the big pillow with her hand on Shen Zhixiu's cheek.
Suddenly remembering the news he heard today, he thought for a moment and said, "Third Master, in recent days, several uncles and aunts from our family have been visiting Qingyuan Residence frequently."
Shen Zhixiu looked up at her, "What did you say?"
If it was just a casual chat, Su Qingyu would not mention it.
Su Qingyu's face showed no obvious expression. She smiled faintly and said, "What else can I say? I'm just worried about the health of the Third Master."
Shen Zhixiu didn't understand for a moment, "I haven't been feeling unwell recently. Besides, why do my uncles and aunts ask me if I'm feeling well for no reason?"
Su Qingyu said meaningfully: "It's not that I'm pregnant, it's inconvenient..."
"They're worried that you'll get hurt."
The corner of Shen Zhixiu's mouth twitched suddenly, and he immediately sat up and said, "Are they just bored at home?"
Su Qingyu snorted, "I don't know where they got so many distant relatives, such as my daughter-in-law's niece and my son-in-law's distant cousin."
"I'm just waiting for your nod, and then I'll send him into the mansion."
Fortunately, the old lady was not easily influenced and she rejected the words in a neither soft nor hard manner these times.
The old lady didn't want her to worry, so she didn't tell her about this.
She noticed that relatives from her family had been visiting frequently in recent days, and only found out after asking Aunt Hua.
I heard that the old lady was also very annoyed, but she couldn't keep them out. Relatives are the root of the family, so it's better not to make things too embarrassing unless it's absolutely necessary.
Shen Zhixiu looked a little unhappy when he heard this, but then returned to normal in an instant.
He stroked Su Qingyu's forehead and said, "I understand. I will take care of this matter."
