Haitang suddenly spoke up, and she did so with unusual seriousness.
Song Tangxue understood what she meant, of course. She hadn't brought Haitang last time, and she was afraid that if she didn't see her again, she might never have another chance.
Lianzhi hesitated slightly, knowing that since Haitang had brought it up, Song Tangxue would definitely take her there.
“This servant will not go. After all, they helped me and never shied away from the fact. It would be embarrassing for me to go now.”
After saying this, she lowered her head awkwardly, as if she also felt guilty about her past actions.
Lianzhi has always been clear about what she did, and she has never been able to let it go.
Although I may not say it out loud, it doesn't mean that I don't think about it.
"Stop overthinking. No one is blaming you, and we won't force you if you don't want to go."
Haitang immediately spoke up, knowing that Lianzhi would definitely say these things.
Moreover, after finishing speaking, he said it very solemnly.
"Don't say those things again, or I'll really get angry with you. Why can't we get over this?"
In the end, Haitang sighed helplessly, realizing there was nothing she could do about Lianzhi's condition.
Mental illness requires mental medicine; no matter how much others say, it's useless.
As long as Lianzhi can't figure it out, she will remain confused about it.
Song Tangxue remained silent until Haitang finished speaking before she spoke.
"Stop overthinking. Things are fine as they are now, and no one will blame you for your past. You've come to your senses and we're all happy."
Song Tangxue spoke with great seriousness, and Lian Zhi was deeply moved by their words, so she immediately knelt on the ground.
"I have some things I've been holding in for a long time, and I have to say them today. Thank you, Master, for your generosity in taking me in and saving my life."
After saying this, she kowtowed, then looked at the two of them with a firm gaze.
"From now on, I will completely erase all traces of my past, so please rest assured!"
"Look at you, can't you just say what you mean? We're not strangers, why do you need to be so formal?"
Haitang is always all bark and no bite. She usually seems to dislike Lianzhi, but now she's warmly pulling her along.
At this moment, Song Tangxue also got up, walked over, patted Lianzhi's hand and said.
"Just stay here peacefully. No one will dare to say anything you don't want to hear. I'm here."
After saying this, she looked at Haitang again.
"You should also be more vigilant in the future. If there are any rumors or gossip, take them down for me and don't let them grow unchecked."
"I know, I've been observing them secretly, but they don't dare to say a word."
Haitang answered truthfully, and at that moment Xie Qianzhong came over from outside.
Although he claimed to be avoiding suspicion, he still had no shortage of things to deal with and had been exceptionally busy lately.
This shows that the emperor did not hide much from him, but only this one thing aroused his suspicion.
"Then we servants will go and prepare lunch."
Song Tangxue nodded, and Xie Qianzhong remained silent until they left before speaking.
“There are all sorts of rumors going around, but your parents seem unusually peaceful.”
"Those two aren't stupid. They know that playing dumb is the best option right now, so as not to get themselves involved in the mess and make things worse."
Song Tangxue spoke with a smile, but her words were full of sarcasm.
Xie Qianzhong could, of course, see that she still harbored some resentment, otherwise she wouldn't have acted this way.
"Well, don't think too much about it. We'll just cut off all contact from now on. Anyway, they won't starve."
These two living, breathing people are, after all, Song Tangxue's biological parents; it's impossible for them to simply ignore them.
Song Tangxue understood Xie Qianzhong's meaning, but this time she didn't speak, only nodded.
She seemed to be troubled as well, lost in thought, but didn't voice it.
Xie Qianzhong took in all of this and then continued speaking.
"If you keep thinking nonsense, don't blame me for biting you. I think only this way can teach you a lesson."
"Alright, I believe you can do what you say, so I won't overthink it. I'm just a little sentimental though."
Song Tangxue spoke earnestly, and at the end, she sighed somewhat embarrassedly.
"I was just thinking that they might affect you. What if they make the Emperor suspicious of you in the future?"
“We don’t need to constantly watch the Emperor’s expression. You know my family background; we can leave at any time.”
Xie Qianzhong, however, remained remarkably calm and composed; these were never a burden for them.
His frankness, however, added a lot of burden to Song Tangxue.
Wanting to leave and being forced to leave are two completely different things, and although Xie Qianzhong didn't say it, Song Tangxue understood.
"It's true that the higher you climb, the lonelier it gets. You have to think more than others, and the more I think about it, the more irritable I feel."
As Song Tangxue spoke, she sighed again, this time without hiding her emotions, and leaned on his shoulder once more.
"If only a god could appear and easily solve these problems for us."
"Stop overthinking. Let's go get something to eat first, and I'll take you somewhere later."
Xie Qianzhong suddenly spoke, and there was a hint of mystery in his voice.
Song Tangxue naturally had no questions and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's go."
She also knew that thinking too much was a burden, and that she certainly couldn't get involved in the affairs of the court now.
Moreover, they can't offer any advice, so it's best not to cause trouble and make Xie Qianzhong even more agitated.
Although he didn't say anything, Song Tangxue knew in her heart that Xie Qianzhong was not without pressure.
No new news came back after lunch was finished.
It seems that this matter has been settled, at least the Crown Princess is now deposed.
"Didn't you say you were going to take me somewhere? Why are you so quiet now?"
After lunch, as Song Tangxue stood up, she looked at Xie Qianzhong, who was supporting her, with a puzzled expression.
Xie Qianzhong smiled mysteriously again and said casually.
"Of course I'll take you, but you'd better be mentally prepared and don't let me move you to tears."
"Am I really that unambitious? I've seen all kinds of storms and things, yet I'm moved to tears by you. You're so narrow-minded."
Song Tangxue immediately scoffed, feeling that he had underestimated her.
However, what happened next was a real slap in the face, but that's another story.
