"I am the Crown Princess! Is this how you speak to me?" Song Tangli was imperious. After becoming pregnant, her status in the mansion rose day by day, and naturally she didn't care about anyone.
"Then you must take good care of yourself, little sister, and don't get hurt. After all, you have no one else to rely on except this child."
Song Tangli's nails dug into her palms, and she slapped Song Tangxue. This time, she wouldn't be hit again. Song Tangxue grabbed her wrist with her left hand and threw her aside.
"Please take good care of yourself, Your Highness. It would be terrible if you were to have any problems with the baby while you're here."
At this moment, Song Tangli was burning with rage, almost to the point of incineration. Just then, footsteps were heard, and Li Zhaoxian returned.
"What are you doing?" Song Tangli instantly put on a pitiful look and leaned towards them, but Li Zhaoxian pushed her away without showing any emotion.
"Your Highness, my sister is far too impolite. No matter what, she is the Crown Princess. If she doesn't even bow to me, isn't that disrespecting you?"
A major event occurred today: His Majesty is intentionally suppressing his power and wants to promote Li Zhaoyun to the throne. He has been worried all day, and now he is still disturbed by these trivial matters when he returns home, which makes him quite impatient.
"Ah Li, the most important thing for you right now is to take good care of your health and stop bothering Song Tangxue." Song Tangli's eyes widened, completely unexpected that he would say such a thing. Li Zhaoxian clearly didn't like Song Tangxue, so why would he speak up for her?
"Your Highness..." Lee So-hyun rubbed his temples wearily, "That's all, go back and rest early."
Song Tangli glared at Song Tangxue, then turned and left.
Song Tangxue watched her retreating figure with great interest, feeling a surge of pleasure in her heart. This scene was all too familiar. In her past life, she had been severely humiliated by Li Zhaoxian and had fled in disgrace. Song Tangli, this is just the beginning. You must not disappoint yourself and not give up so soon.
The next day, Song Tangxue went on a large-scale grain purchase, and of course, she entrusted this matter to Xie Qianzhong, as she felt at ease with him around.
An uninvited guest arrived at the Crown Prince's residence today.
Supported by several maids, Madam Song strode into the mansion with an air of superiority. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was the master of the Crown Prince's residence.
"Where is Song Tangxue?" Song Tangxue's status was clearly higher than hers, yet she showed no respect whatsoever.
Just then, Cui Xi passed by her and said, "The Crown Princess is resting in her room."
Madam Song was displeased: "She clearly knew I was coming, yet she didn't come out to greet me. Is this how the Song family teaches her to behave?"
The moment Song's mother saw Song Tangxue, she felt a surge of anger rising to her head, almost making her die of anger. Song Tangxue was completely unladylike, with one foot on the chair and a bunch of grapes in her right hand, which she was throwing into her mouth.
"Song Tangxue!" Song Tangxue was startled and almost dropped the grapes. "Oh, Madam Song, what brings you here?"
Sitting in the main seat, Song's mother pushed her legs off the chair: "You've already married into the Crown Prince's household, yet you don't act like a proper young lady at all!"
This Madam Song clearly rose from the bottom. Ever since she became the mistress of the house, she has been running the household every day, as if afraid that others would not know that she got the position by virtue of her body.
"Don't think that just because you're the Crown Princess you can completely sever ties with the Song family. If it weren't for us, would you have grown up like this?"
Song Tangxue gave a forced smile. It was really a coincidence that she had nothing to do with her growing up, but she had actually caused her a lot of trouble in the mansion.
"So Madam Song also knows that I am the Crown Princess, why don't you bow to me when you see me?"
"I am the matriarch of the Song family, and you expect me to bow to you?!"
Song Tangxue was never a good person, but she was very loyal to the people she cared about. In her past life, apart from Song Tangli, she was the one who treated her the most. She was partly responsible for her miserable life.
"So, in Madam Song's heart, the Song family is far more noble than the Crown Prince's residence. I wonder if His Majesty is aware of your rebellious thoughts!"
It's only been a few days since I last saw her, when did Song Tangxue become so sharp-tongued!
Madam Song had intended to intimidate her, but she had already lost the first time. She bowed with resentment in her eyes, and Song Tangxue, satisfied, told her to rise, feeling quite pleased.
"I just came to see the Crown Princess. It seems you are an ingrate, disregarding the bond with the Song family and putting on airs even in front of your own family."
"How could I dare? I was merely stating the facts. I urge Madam Song to be more mindful of etiquette and morality in the future, lest someone find fault with the Song family and implicate me as well."
Madam Song was speechless. What had happened to Song Tangxue? She used to be so timid and submissive, but today she had learned to rebel.
"I've come here with a special request. Your sister is pregnant, and as her older sister, I naturally want to help her out as much as possible."
"There's no need for Madam Song to worry about that. Since my sister likes being pregnant, as long as she stays home and doesn't go out, there shouldn't be any major problems." This was a veiled insult to Song Tangli for making trouble out of nothing, implying that if something went wrong, it would be entirely her own fault.
"The Crown Princess is indeed sharp-tongued. It seems I came to the wrong place today. Let's go!" Madam Song left in a hurry, truly angered by this incident. Song Tangxue slowly curled the corners of her lips. What happened today was not like in her previous life.
I remember on this day in my past life, Madam Song also came here and made a lot of sarcastic remarks. At that time, Song Tangxue was weak-willed and naturally did not refute anything.
...
A major event is about to occur: a disaster will soon follow, causing widespread price increases in food, to the point that even the poor will be unable to afford food, and many will starve to death.
The land was parched and could not grow vegetables, which naturally created a crisis. It took Yongfeng Kingdom a whole year to get through the crisis. Merchants who had previously stockpiled some grain raised prices on the spot, reaching an unprecedented level.
I need to buy the grain before it happens.
This matter was naturally entrusted to Xie Qianzhong.
"Can we even eat all this food?" Xie Qianzhong thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out Song Tangxue's purpose in doing this.
"Don't worry about that. I definitely have my own reasons. Can you help me? You're the person I trust the most in the entire Yongfeng Kingdom."
These words left Xie Qianzhong completely bewildered. Without a word, he agreed. As a result, a mysterious person bought up all the grain in the entire capital, much to the delight of the merchants. At a time when prices were high, they had found a sucker.
