If Lord Song knew that he was only seeking to gain support through a shortcut to marriage, he would definitely be disappointed in him and might even send him back to Ruyang.
The Chief Censor was, after all, an honest official.
After Zhao Ming learned about this, he naturally wanted to quietly win the favor of the eldest daughter and then quietly gain the support of Lord Song.
Although the original owner was raised as a legitimate daughter since childhood, she rarely had contact with men outside the family.
Although Zhao Ming had a bad character, he did have a handsome face that made people feel good about him. With a little thought and some sweet talk, the original owner was naturally deceived by him.
The original owner had even cried and complained to him about the incident of the fake phoenix and the real phoenix, hoping that he could help her speak up.
But by then, everyone in the Song family had already understood her situation. Zhao Ming was a master of his own. How could he possibly risk bad luck? He just wanted to stay away from her.
Xihe naturally looked down on such people. After dinner, he told Lord Song that there was a cat howling outside the house at night, and the sound was creepy. He hoped that he would send a servant to investigate at night.
At this time, she was still the young lady of the Song family, so Lord Song naturally had no reason to refuse.
Zhao Ming was unaware of these things. He felt resentful because he had taken advantage of the evening breeze and ventured outside her house in the middle of the night.
Not only did he not get any help, he almost caught a cold.
He thought about it and decided to find a place to wait on the road to get to the bottom of the matter.
It was December, and snowflakes were flying outside and it was snowing again.
Zhao Ming waited for half an hour, shivering in the snow and wind.
Only then did he see the girl slowly approaching in the wind and snow, surrounded by a group of people.
The goose yellow palace lanterns emit a faint light.
The girl had a small face the size of a palm, red lips and white teeth, and was tightly wrapped in a bright red cloak. Several maids lowered their heads slightly in a respectful manner.
Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment.
In the middle of the night, a man and a woman were alone, in front of so many maids. Even if he had the most courage, he would not dare to rush up and chat with them.
Zhao Ming's face darkened instantly, and he wanted to ask, "We had clearly agreed on this before, so why did you turn him away last night?"
The young maid came closer and closer.
Zhao Ming took a deep breath, stood by the road, bowed his head slightly and saluted: "Greetings, cousin."
Xihe nodded: "It's late, cousin, go to bed early."
She took light steps and walked slowly towards Fangfei Courtyard with her maid.
Zhao Ming: “…”
The girl had a stern face, her expression calm, without a trace of shyness.
Zhao Ming suddenly felt something was wrong. What did this mean? Was he ignoring me?
In order to get the girl as soon as possible, he used all kinds of sweet words and secretly sent love poems, but the lady never gave him any handkerchiefs, jewelry or other tokens of love.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to the corridor in the middle of the night to be a night owl.
What should I do? Did he hear what the lady said again? Did she no longer like him?
Zhao Ming was anxious.
So I stayed up all night that night and climbed over the wall.
Unexpectedly, "bang bang", several sticks came down and knocked Zhao Ming to the ground, making him run away in panic.
He had only one thought in his mind: it's over.
Zhao Ming didn't think twice, raised his sleeves to cover his face, and rushed out the door.
Several servants immediately grabbed the man and lifted up his sleeves.
Oh, cousin!
The servants looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, they dragged the man to Lord Song.
Zhao Ming: “…”
Lord Song: “…”
Xihe didn't know what the final outcome was. The next day, she packed her bags, took a few maids and servants, and took a carriage to a villa in the suburbs.
The road was flat, with mountains on both sides covered with snow.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the villa.
"The lady has arrived."
The maid helped Xihe down. The cold wind mixed with snow felt stinging on her face. The villa in front of her was small and exquisite, with maids and attendants standing on both sides.
Go into the yard and tidy up the greenhouse.
Xihe, supported by her maid, slowly looked around the yard. When she came to a high wall, she found peach blossoms growing over the wall on the opposite side.
New snow, plum blossoms waiting to bloom.
Unexpectedly, I saw early blooming peach blossoms here, with a faint fragrance.
She asked curiously, "Do you know? Whose yard is next door?"
The maid ran to ask the attendant, and after a while, she hurried back: "Miss, I heard that it is the courtyard of the master in the mansion."
"uncle?"
"Exactly."
The maid immediately said, "It's your eldest uncle. He and the master built a courtyard here a few years ago. A little further away is the third master's house."
Xihe nodded: "I see."
She arrived early, just at noon, and soon the maids came to invite her back for dinner. The side dishes were exquisite and delicious, with a unique flavor.
In the afternoon, Xihe told them to take a nap, closed the door, changed into clothes that were easy to move in, opened the window, and jumped out.
Since the substitution is a foregone conclusion, why can't she be the one to reveal it?
Chen Piaopiao is the destined daughter-in-law of the Song family. She can marry into the Song family with or without this merit, but she can't. She has no one to rely on and no family to rely on, so naturally she has to make more plans for herself.
At least she could get some credit. If she was kicked out one day, she might give her some money because she remembered what she did today.
After all, the status of women in ancient times was too low.
Even in Xihe, it is not easy to live a better life.
Snowflakes were floating in the sky as I stepped into a dense forest, where weeds grew wildly, trees were piled up in disorder, and there were also traces of wild animals roaming around.
Xihe pushed aside the grass and headed towards the mountains.
It was winter, when animals and plants were scarce in the mountains and food was scarce. This was the time when wild animals were out and about, and Song Yu would take this opportunity to go hunting.
