After Song Wanwan entered the room, she first glanced at Su Xiangling and Liu Qianning with contempt.
Then he walked up to Su Qingyu and bowed, "Hello, Third Madam."
Then he turned to look at Su Shunci, "Sister Aci, are you okay?"
The fate between people is sometimes hard to explain. The first time Song Wanwan saw Su Shunci, she liked this little girl. As they got to know each other more, she felt not only fondness but also heartache.
A few days ago, Su Shunci was kicked out of the Su family, and someone started to make trouble in Huajin Pavilion. Although Su Shunci handled it calmly, she still wanted to be her backer and support her. At that time, she mentioned the idea of adopting her as a godparent to her mother, Wang, but her mother refused.
This time, it was because Mrs. Shen San saved her, and she took the opportunity to tell her mother how much Mrs. Shen San valued this sister. Only then did her mother let go and thought about it seriously.
Su Shunci looked at Song Wanwan in surprise, "Why is Sister Wanwan here? I'm fine, it's just a small matter, I can handle it."
She didn't want to cause trouble for Su Qingyu, and even more so didn't want to add burden to Song Wanwan.
Song Wanwan took Su Shunci's hand and asked softly, "Aci, my mother wants to adopt you as her goddaughter. Are you willing?"
She came today to seek Su Shunci's opinion. No matter how high the Song family's status was, this matter still needed Su Shunci's consent.
Liu Qianning said bitterly, "Is there any need to think about this? She will definitely agree."
She was extremely indignant. What kind of luck had Su Shunci gotten to be so favored by the Song family? The Song family only had one daughter, Song Wanwan, and they doted on her like nothing else. By being adopted by the Song family, Su Shunci would be considered one of the most distinguished ladies in the capital.
Su Shunci subconsciously looked at Su Qingyu, and then said to Song Wanwan: "Sister Wanwan, such a big thing, can I discuss it with my elder sister?"
Song Wanwan touched her head lovingly, "That's natural."
Su Shunci walked to Su Qingyu and pulled her to the side.
"Big sister, do you think I should agree to this? Will this have any impact on my brother-in-law?"
She didn't understand the affairs of the court. She only knew that families like the Song and Shen families would carefully weigh their options before marrying. She believed that Song Wanwan was truly kind to her, but she couldn't tell if there were other influences involved, so she could only ask Su Qingyu.
Su Qingyu knew that the Song family's proposal to adopt a godparent was related to her previous help for Song Wanwan. However, it was unlikely that the adoption would affect Shen Zhixiu. Given Shen Zhixiu's relationship with the Marquis of Loyalty, the impact of this indirect adoption would be minor.
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Qingyu said, "You don't have to consider me and your brother-in-law. Do you want to be the adopted daughter of the Song family? Do you like the Song family?"
Su Shunci nodded. "I like it. Sister Wanwan treats me very well. Madam Song and the old lady are also very kind. Their family...is quite different from the Su family."
"Then go tell Wanwan that you are willing."
Su Qingyu was also happy to see this result. Although this girl could run her own business now, she would eventually get married. After agreeing to this marriage, Su Shunci would have an extra support, whether it was during the marriage negotiation or after the marriage.
Su Shunci got Su Qingyu's approval and turned around and walked back to Song Wanwan.
"Sister Wanwan, I am willing to be the adopted daughter of the Song family, but I am afraid that if I don't do well, it will bring shame to the Song family."
She didn't mean to make fun of Qiao, but she really felt that she was not worthy of Song Wanwan's kindness to her.
But the more she did this, the more Song Wanwan wanted to be nice to her.
Song Wanwan rubbed her head lovingly and said, "I recognize you as my sister so that you can do whatever you want, not to restrict you."
Su Qingyu looked at Liu Qianning coldly, "What do you want to say about your false accusation against my fourth sister today? Isn't it time to apologize to her?"
Liu Qianning was also very savvy and knew that she could no longer control Su Shunci in this matter. Su Shunci not only had evidence to prove his innocence, but also had two more backers.
She pursed her lips tightly and said softly, "Fourth Miss, I'm sorry."
Su Qingyu frowned, "Please go out, Miss Liu, stand at the door, and apologize loudly to my fourth sister."
"Also, please explain clearly the things you falsely accused her of."
Liu Qianning's expression froze. This way, she would lose all her face.
She subconsciously looked at Su Xiangling, but Su Xiangling turned away, thinking about how to get through this. She was afraid that after Su Qingyu had an outburst on Liu Qianning, she would question her.
With Su Qingyu and Song Wanwan, she was no match for them. Given Song Wanwan's personality, she wouldn't know how to deal with her if things got out of hand.
While Liu Qianning was hesitating, Song Wanwan walked closer and said with a sneer.
"Tell me, is it difficult for my Song family to get rid of a young secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion?"
"Don't think that I wouldn't dare to touch your father just because he serves the Crown Prince. If you don't apologize today, I will make your father and the descendants of your Liu family have no hope of official career within three generations."
Liu Qianning's face suddenly turned grim upon hearing this. "Miss Song, you are bullying others by taking advantage of your power. Aren't you afraid that others will criticize the Song family?"
Song Wanwan smiled contemptuously, "Bullying others with power? You follow her around and flatter her, isn't it just to let your father get a high position, so you can bully others with power?"
When she said this, Song Wanwan glanced at Su Xiangling. Su Xiangling's eyes flashed, and facing Song Wanwan's strong pressure, she looked away and dared not speak.
Liu Qianning knew that if she didn't do as they said today, Song Wanwan and Su Qingyu would not let her go.
In this capital city where people are eaten without leaving any bones, only those with high positions and power have the right to speak.
If this incident affects Daddy's career...
Liu Qianning didn't dare to think about it anymore.
She retreated to the door and stood in the crowd facing Su Shunci.
He said loudly, "Shopkeeper Su, I was wrong about what happened today. This material was indeed not bought at Huajin Pavilion. I had an old grudge with Shopkeeper Su, so I deliberately framed her."
After saying that, he bowed to Su Shunci and said, "Please don't blame me, Shopkeeper Su. I won't dare to do that again."
Su Shunci hummed in a cold voice, "I hope Miss Liu can remember what I said today. If you do it again, I will never give up."
After Liu Qianning apologized, he lowered his head, squeezed out of the crowd, got on the carriage and left.
Seeing Liu Qianning leave in a panic, Su Xiangling smiled and walked forward, apologetically saying to Su Shunci, "Fourth sister, I really deserve to die today. I almost misunderstood you."
Song Wanwan looked down upon Su Xiangling's coquettish and pretentious look.
"Miss Second is still in the mood to hang out here, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knelt in Fengxian Temple for the Saintess of Xiyue."
"Tsk tsk, it's really a deep and profound friendship."
Thinking of the prince, Song Wanwan's tone unconsciously became more sarcastic.
Su Xiangling's face was filled with shame and annoyance, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She could only bow and take her leave, and hurriedly left Huajin Pavilion.
After leaving Huajin Pavilion, he got on the carriage.
The maid Zi Luo hurried over to report, "Miss, Guan Zong has already spoken to Mr. Zhou. Just as you said, he likes wine. Guan Zong brought the aged wine that you bought at a high price, and the two of them are already drinking it."
