After saying that, Dongfang Mei added, "By the way, if you need any help from me, just let me know."
Where did this person come from?
Song Qingqing didn't recognize her, but looking at her face, she felt somewhat familiar.
After thinking for a moment, I finally figured it out.
She looks a lot like Sikong Xinghai!
Could this be Sikong Xinghai's mother?
"Dongfang Mei, what are you meddling in? This is my business, and it's none of your place to interfere." Shangguan Liuli was furious when she saw Dongfang Mei interfering.
Although she disliked Song Qingqing, she couldn't bring herself to like Dongfang Mei either.
No one likes someone who keeps coming up to her and picking fights.
"Sister Liuli, what are you saying? We are family. Your business is my business."
If you ask me, we older generations shouldn't interfere in the feelings of the younger generation.
Let's just let them get along well on their own, don't I agree?
elder sister?"
Dongfang Mei kept calling her "sister" repeatedly, and any woman could hear the provocation in her voice.
Shangguan Liuli was no exception.
"Who said we're family? Stop trying to make yourself look good. You're just an illegitimate daughter of the Dongfang family, who's not even worthy of being mentioned in public. How dare you compare yourself to me, a legitimate daughter? You're not worthy at all!"
Shangguan Liuli's words were a way of venting her anger.
But Dongfang Mei laughed even more happily, and turned to Sikong Qingtian who was walking over, saying, "Qingtian, my sister said that I am a illegitimate child who is neither here nor there, and that I am not part of our family. It seems that she really has another man."
What?
In front of the Empress, Dongfang Mei actually tried to trip up Shangguan Liuli.
Everyone present couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Dongfang Mei.
Yes, you're really capable!
"Shangguan Liuli, if you dare to find another man behind my back, you can expect a divorce!"
Sikong Qingtian stepped forward, hugged Dongfang Mei, uttered those words viciously, and then took Dongfang Mei away.
Everyone looked at Shangguan Liuli's face, which was turning green with anger, and wanted to laugh.
Even Wang Manni thought, "Who told Shangguan Liuli to catch us and our two children and start yelling at us?"
She wouldn't sympathize with her plight if she had an aunt like that.
"Manny, what are you all standing here for?" Just then, Shangguan Weimin, who had come to find his wife after chatting with everyone, arrived.
When Shangguan Liuli saw her nephew arrive, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Weimin, today is the day the princess is coming to the Sikong family. How could you bring your stepdaughter, who is not presentable, along?"
"If you ruin the princess's engagement party with my Xingchen, can you take responsibility for that?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Weimin replied politely yet distantly, "I will keep an eye on her. Qingqing is a sensible child; she won't do that."
Shangguan Weimin didn't like his aunt Shangguan Liuli, and besides, the two of them weren't close.
"You'll be watching her, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep an eye on her, you probably don't know that!"
"Your stepdaughter, she even seduced my Xingchen before."
Song Qingqing is not listening to a word Shangguan Liuli said.
Because all she could think about was whether today was the engagement banquet between Sikong Xingchen and the princess of Lou Kingdom.
She grabbed Wang Manni's hand in a panic and asked in a trembling voice, "Mom, is today the day Sikong Xingchen is getting engaged to someone else?"
Wang Manni noticed something was off and grasped her hand, saying, "It can't be considered an engagement, it's more like a meeting of minds!"
Since the princess has just arrived, we definitely need to meet her first to determine whether to get engaged or married.
What she just said was only Shangguan Liuli's statement.
However, why does her daughter look so unhappy?
She tugged at the other person and asked in a low voice, "You told Mom that something really happened between you and Xingchen?"
Wang Manni didn't dare to think about dating, because she didn't believe that a man as outstanding as Sikong Xingchen would be interested in her, a girl from the countryside.
After all, his identity was too far removed from reality.
"us."
Before Song Qingqing could speak, a voice suddenly appeared, interrupting her.
"Miss Song Qingqing? Our Sikong family head would like to have a talk with you."
The one who arrived was the steward of the Sikong family, who had an arrogant look on his face.
"Can I go with Qingqing?" Upon hearing that Sikong Leiyun actually wanted to see Song Qingqing, Wang Manni felt extremely uneasy.
"The head of the family would like to speak with Miss Song alone." The steward said in a formal tone, showing no respect for Wang Manni whatsoever.
Wang Manni also knew that she was just a nobody.
"Go and tell Uncle Sikong that we should either go together or forget about it." Shangguan Weimin was a little annoyed that his wife dared to give him attitude.
The tone was not pleasant.
Upon hearing this, the butler realized that Shangguan Weimin was also there. What a mess! He had actually seen this man who was known for doting on his wife.
"Come on, you guys!"
Since that was the case, the housekeeper had no choice but to invite the entire family to the second floor.
After they left, the socialites present began to gossip again.
"What do you think the Sikong family head wants to say to this country girl?"
"Exactly? One is in the heavens, the other on the earth, how can they possibly agree on anything?"
"I guess it might be to tell her to give up and stop bothering Young Master Si."
"Possibly."
"......"
Song Qingqing knew nothing about what was happening here. At this moment, she and her family of four went up to the second floor and met Sikong Leiyun.
"You're here. Come on, I'll take you to see a place. Others aren't qualified yet."
When Sikong Leiyun saw that the steward had brought Shangguan Weimin and his entire family over, he only glanced at them and said nothing more.
He lifted his leg and took the lead, showing them the way.
The group first walked through a long corridor, up and down stairs, and after about ten minutes, they finally arrived at an antique wooden building.
Looking up, I saw the words "ancestral hall" written on it.
Looking further inside, there were rows and rows of memorial tablets.
Song Qingqing and her group followed Sikong Leiyun in, unaware of what was going on.
Then she looked at Sikong Leiyun, waiting for him to explain what this meant.
Sikong Leiyun turned around, smiled, pointed upwards to Song Qingqing, and remained silent with a faint smile.
Song Qingqing immediately looked up and saw that it was engraved with nearly a hundred mysterious patterns.
Those patterns are very similar to those of the mutants.
Looking at the patterns, Song Qingqing felt inexplicably sad and upset, as if a voice in her heart wanted her to destroy them.
What's going on?
Why did she have this feeling? She shook her head, trying to suppress the desire in her heart.
At this moment, Sikong Leiyun's voice rang in her ears, "Is it very painful? It's normal to feel pain, because each pattern on it represents a mutated person who died."
Song Qingqing was shocked and turned to look at Sikong Leiyun, but to her surprise, the other party was smiling.
