Song Tangli finally told the story, and as soon as she finished speaking, her mother slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
"It really is an incurable habit; it hasn't been long before it's back to the same old thing!"
Song Tangli looked at her with concern: "I knew you would be furious, but if I don't say it, I will feel guilty."
Song's mother was extremely angry, but she knew that this was the Crown Prince's residence.
Getting angry will only make things worse.
She tried her best to control her emotions, which Song Tangli saw, but then she spoke.
“Actually, there are unseen struggles everywhere. My daughter is used to it, but I never expected that you would suddenly come to help me.”
Song Tangli was slowly guiding her mother, who, of course, did not expect that her initiative to help would be seen as a burden.
Song's mother was easily fooled and gave a cold laugh.
"They want to get rid of me so it will be easier for them."
After she finished speaking, Song Tangli looked at her mother, whose resolute yet cold affection she held, and asked softly.
"Your daughter thinks you'll only suffer if you go back. Now that your daughter is successful, why don't you stay here and let your daughter protect you?"
Song Tangli spoke with utmost seriousness, but how could Song's mother possibly tolerate such a thing?
Of course, she wanted to go back, and at the same time, expose everything and make sure no one got away with it.
Song's mother looked at Song Tangli, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her anger before speaking.
“I’m not at that point yet, I don’t need your protection. I need to go back as soon as possible, I can’t let them get too arrogant.”
Hearing these words, Song Tangli was overjoyed, having finally achieved her goal, but she still said with concern.
"But I'm afraid that if you go back, you'll only argue with your father and make him dislike you even more."
"We've gotten through all these years, what's one more time?"
Song's mother asked a sarcastic question, then took Song Tangli's hand, trying her best to appear friendly.
"Then your mother will go back first. Be careful here, and don't let those people scheme against you!"
"I understand, but how can I be at ease seeing you go back like this?"
Song Tangli sighed helplessly and then spoke softly after finishing her speech.
"Your daughter has prepared four attendants for you. They are all very clever and can be of good use to you. Your daughter knows that you have no shortage of confidants, but this is just a token of her appreciation."
"Good child, it's hard on you in your current state, yet you still have to think about these things for me."
Song's mother was deeply moved. It seemed that her husband, who had been by her side for many years, was unreliable, and even her own daughter was unreliable.
But Song Tangli has always tried her best to be filial to her.
Song Tangli couldn't help but shed tears: "Although I am not your biological daughter, you have always treated me as your own, so naturally I must repay your kindness!"
And so, with this fabricated lie, Song's mother immediately and obediently returned to the Song family.
Upon learning this news, Song Tangxue felt somewhat puzzled.
"My mother may be selfish, but she has always been incredibly intelligent. Why has she become like this?"
Xie Qianzhong was practicing calligraphy nearby when he heard Song Tangxue's question, and he simply said...
"Who would be wary of the person they trust most? For example, you certainly wouldn't doubt my every good intention."
"That's true, but sending four more spies to the Song family clearly shows they don't trust her."
Whenever Song Tangxue thought of this, she found it laughable; the two of them each had their own thoughts.
Seeing her like this, Xie Qianzhong put down his pen and went over to look at her.
"You seem to be constantly troubled by the Crown Prince's affairs lately. Why don't you stay quiet and stop paying attention to them?"
“I understand your good intentions, but every time I think about this, I can’t help but get angry, and it reminds me of the past.”
Song Tangxue gave a wry smile and said with a sense of helplessness.
After saying that, she looked at Xie Qianzhong again: "Am I acting crazy?"
"If I were you, I might have done the same. You don't need to blame yourself. It's just that, in my opinion, it's not worth it for someone like that."
Xie Qianzhong spoke his mind, and Song Tangxue knew it all too well, but what she was most curious about this time was the secret behind it.
"These are just incidental suspicions. What I'm most curious about is what kind of secret Song Tangli has."
Song Tangxue answered truthfully. The young couple were talking when Meng Youyu walked in.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, I missed you terribly, so I came to visit."
As soon as Meng Youyu entered, she said with a grin.
Song Tangxue warmly welcomed them, but with Xie Qianzhong present, they couldn't say anything meaningful.
With that, Song Tangxue stood up: "There are some new bonsai trees transplanted in the garden, shall I take you to see them?"
"Isn't this just trying to talk behind my back? Yet you speak of it so elegantly and profoundly, I admire you."
Xie Qianzhong said, and Song Tangxue then smiled mischievously: "Why expose all this? How annoying!"
Seeing the two of them being so affectionate and flirtatious, Meng Youyu immediately covered her eyes.
"I came here just to see you, not to see these things!"
"Look at you, putting on such a show. Let's go."
Song Tangxue smiled and spoke, then took Meng Youyu's hand, and the two walked outside.
No one else followed, only the two of them.
"To be honest, seeing you like this makes me feel relieved. You're much better than I expected."
As Meng Youyu walked along the road, gazing at the scenery on both sides, she spoke with feeling.
Song Tangxue naturally understood that she was happy for herself, but there was a more important problem at the moment.
"It's too early to talk about these things now. We haven't dealt with any of those disgusting people yet."
"Why are you suddenly saying all this? Is something wrong now?"
Meng Youyu sensed something was wrong from her best friend's sigh.
Song Tangxue naturally didn't hide anything and told everything she had just learned.
She spoke with utmost seriousness, and the more Meng Youyu listened, the uglier her expression became.
After she finally finished speaking, Meng Youyu sneered repeatedly.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple. Song Tangli definitely wouldn't obediently stay pregnant."
But then a new question arose: "But haven't you already looked at everything? Even you didn't find anything, how can you explain that?"
"There was too little time then, so I couldn't find it. But now, it would be difficult to see it again."
When Song Tangxue said these words, she rarely felt helpless.
Meng Youyu suddenly fell into deep thought, stopped walking, and rested her chin on her hand as she pondered something.
Upon seeing this, Song Tangxue immediately stopped as well.
Not long after, he saw Meng Youyu, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands.
"Don't forget, there's another formidable person here!"
