Li Zhaoxian was speechless, and Song Tangxue didn't want to say anything more. She never expected that her status would change after entering the palace.
Now, if I go back, I certainly can't continue living there; I'll have to find another place.
She ignored Li Zhaoxian and instead returned to the East Palace, where she spoke to Lianzhi.
"Take all my valuables with you, and leave the rest behind."
Lianzhi was still in shock, never expecting things to turn out this way.
Song Tangxue continued, "Hurry up and pack up, I don't want to stay here any longer."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Song Tangli came looking for trouble.
She was extremely angry, but she could only swallow her anger.
Now that they know Song Tangxue is about to leave, they certainly won't let this opportunity pass them by.
"Oh, I didn't expect that we sisters would be parting ways so soon. I'm actually a little reluctant to see us go..."
She spoke in a pretentious manner, and after finishing her sentence, she looked around and said again.
"You all need to look carefully; nothing from the Crown Prince's palace can be missing."
"Don't worry, everything that's taken is mine. I won't take a single needle or thread from you."
How could Song Tangxue not see that Song Tangli had come all this way just to disgust her?
She directly exposed the other party's little scheme and even took matters into her own hands to clean it up.
Song Tangli then realized that Lian Zhi had taken extra care in tidying up, as if she had betrayed her.
Her expression finally changed, her previous smugness vanished, and she stepped forward to look at her former servant.
"You've tidied up so meticulously, have you forgotten who your master really is!"
Song Tangli was probably greatly traumatized, so she no longer wanted to pretend and was now ready to break off the facade.
Lianzhi frowned, as if she didn't know how to respond to this situation.
Song Tangxue naturally had to step forward at this moment, pulling Lianzhi up and protecting her behind her as she spoke.
“She was sent here, and her indenture is with me, so she’s naturally one of my people.”
Song Tangxue began to speak, but as soon as she finished, Song Tangli raised an eyebrow and said directly.
“You used to be a member of the Crown Prince’s household, so you could naturally be her mistress. But you are no longer. And this was your servant when you were the Crown Princess, so you can’t take her with you.”
After she finished speaking, she even reached out her hand, immediately saying, "Give me the indenture; it shouldn't be held by an outsider."
"I'll buy it. Name your price."
Song Tangxue did not agree, but instead spoke casually.
But Song Tangli certainly wouldn't give up so easily, and she said it directly.
"I'm sorry, but I will never give her to anyone else."
"His Majesty feels deeply indebted to me now. If you truly don't find it troublesome, then I can simply go and plead with the Emperor directly."
Song Tangxue didn't want to bring up the Emperor, but now it seemed she had no choice but to.
Sure enough, Song Tangli's expression changed when the Emperor was mentioned.
She withdrew her hand, her gaze darkening slightly.
"Fine, you can take him with you. I'm just missing a dog!"
Song Tangli threw down a harsh remark and then turned and left.
But just as he reached the doorway, he suddenly paused, turned around, and said...
"She has done a lot of things to harm you. She even contributed to all the suffering you went through before."
Lianzhi stood there, not daring to utter a sound.
Hearing this, he became even more worried and quickly looked up at Song Tangxue.
Song Tangxue remained extremely calm and did not reply to Song Tangli.
Having made a fool of herself, Song Tangli finally left for good.
After the Crown Princess and her maids left, Lianzhi knelt down and begged for forgiveness.
"This servant was blinded by greed before and did many wrong things. Thank you, Master, for not holding it against me!"
"You said it yourself, that's in the past, there's no need to mention it again, just stay with me in peace."
Song Tangxue answered calmly, seemingly unconcerned.
Lianzhi was already in tears, never expecting that she would actually not be disliked.
Soon, they left the Crown Prince's residence.
Upon hearing the news, Meng Youyu was overjoyed and had been eagerly waiting outside.
"You're finally out! I thought they were going to give you a hard time!"
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Song Tangxue.
However, upon seeing the branches behind her, Meng Youyu, though she understood what was going on, still felt quite uneasy.
"Lianzhi, now that you've followed a new master, you must forget everything from the past. Do you understand what I mean?"
Meng Youyu was still worried and wanted to take this opportunity to give Lian Zhi a good talking-to.
Lianzhi quickly nodded: "This servant knows, and knows who saved my life. From now on, I will protect my master without hesitation!"
"Alright, this isn't the place to talk. Let's find me a place to stay first."
Song Tangxue seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood, as this absurd marriage had finally come to an end.
She regained her freedom, but Meng Youyu knew there was a good side to it, but also a bad side.
She was so happy just now, but the thought of the obstacles she might encounter in the future immediately made her feel bad.
"Only someone as carefree as you can be. To be honest, I'm experiencing mixed feelings of joy and sorrow."
Soon after, Song Tangxue moved into a small courtyard under Meng Youyu's arrangement.
"But why don't you return to the Prime Minister's residence?"
After everything was settled, Meng Youyu suddenly asked in confusion.
Song Tangxue remained remarkably calm, and after listening, she simply gave a composed reply.
"Soon everyone will know that I am an unlucky person, and my good parents will naturally be even more wary of me than they are."
If I were to actually return to the Prime Minister's residence, I fear that every place I had ever been would be cleansed by the holy water.
Mr. and Mrs. Song have never been kind to their own daughter.
Meng Youyu knew better than anyone else. A moment of heartache flashed in her clear eyes, but she quickly covered it up and spoke up.
"Fine, who cares what they think? As long as we're living a carefree life, that's all that matters!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than an uninvited guest arrived.
When Xie Qianzhong learned of this news, his calm heart was instantly thrown into turmoil, and he rushed over immediately after learning of Song Tangxue's whereabouts.
The moment he pushed open the door and came in, his anxious heart suddenly calmed down, and he looked directly at Song Tangxue.
Xie Qianzhong didn't speak, but just standing there was enough to say a thousand words.
"Since the Left Chancellor has arrived, I shall take my leave."
Meng Youyu quickly spoke as if it were a joke, and then slipped away.
In an instant, only the two of them remained in the room.
Song Tangxue was perhaps a little reserved because of her new identity and regained freedom.
She sat there, unsure of what to say.
Xie Qianzhong suddenly took a step and walked towards her step by step.
