Chapter 124 Discussing Countermeasures
Song Ci returned to the house.
It was difficult to restrain the urge to kill Song Yong immediately.
Tian'er saw her hand trembling slightly under her sleeve, and her eyes dimmed.
Qiao Xianglan pushed the door open and walked in with the newly made clothes.
"Xiaoci, come and try on the new clothes your mother made for you. Do they fit you well?"
The clothes should fit properly, but once she put them on, she realized the cuffs were a lot shorter. Qiao Xianglan laughed, "My little Ci has grown up."
Only then did she remember that she would be fifteen years old after the Chinese New Year, so she had naturally grown taller.
"No matter how old a daughter is, she is still her mother's daughter."
"Silly child, you will get married and have your own children sooner or later. I only hope that you will be well and live a happy life. I will be satisfied then."
Qiao Xianglan smiled happily, as if she had already seen the scene of Song Ci getting married, treating her husband with respect and having many children and grandchildren.
Then her smile dimmed again. "To get married here, you still have to rely on the eldest wife. Your father is a businessman, and mother is afraid that others will look down on our family."
Song Ci smiled and comforted, "Mom, if you don't like our family, I won't like them either. The husband I want to find must be one who respects me, my parents and I from the bottom of our hearts. Only then will I be willing to marry him."
That was true, but Qiao Xianglan was still a little worried.
Her son's marriage is easy to deal with, but she is extremely worried about her daughter. If this woman marries the wrong man, she will suffer endlessly in the future.
Then she suddenly thought of the day when Mr. Pei came to her house. Others might not be able to notice it, but she was so sensitive when it came to her own daughter. It seemed that he treated Xiao Ci a little differently?
"That Mr. Pei, what is his family background and character like?"
"Mr. Pei is the heir to the Pei family. His family background and character are beyond reproach. He is also very popular in front of the emperor."
Qiao Xianglan's expectations suddenly dissipated a lot. With such character and family background, how could they look down on the Song family?
When the aristocratic families of Beijing marry, the most important thing is to match the family background. In the end, the Song family did not have a single person who could support the family. Originally, she and Song Lao San endured all this in the Song family just for the sake of their children's marriage.
But it seems that the first and second wives don't seem to be able to truly care about their own family.
"Mom, why did you suddenly mention Mr. Pei?"
Qiao Xianglan concealed the disappointment in her heart and looked at her daughter's stunning face. "Mother only feels that my little Ci was born too well. It's just that she doesn't have a good family background. If your parents hadn't dragged you down, you would have lived a better life."
"Mom, I don't ask for that. I just hope you can always be by my side."
These were Song Ci's most sincere wishes, both in her past and present lives. Material possessions meant nothing to her; all she wanted was a peaceful and happy family reunion.
....
“Bang!”
"Second Master!"
Mr. Song slapped him, but it wasn't enough. "You unfilial son, I asked you to go to the academy, but you just perfunctorily treated me with this kind of grades."
Song Yong shrank back, his teeth chattering, "Dad, I'm back at the academy. I'll study hard, don't worry."
"Don't worry?" Song Lao Er snorted coldly and sat down. "If I hadn't found a way, I'm afraid the one from the third room would have been the one that crushed you two! You really disappoint me."
"Dad, he has dropped out of school. From now on, it's just me and my older brother at home!"
"That's better."
Aunt Song hurried forward to check the injuries on her son's face. She found them red and swollen, and she burst into tears of heartache.
"Second Master, look at how badly you beat Yong'er. How can you face people with this face?"
"Just apply some medicine. He's a grown man, this little injury is nothing. If you keep fussing about it, how will you accomplish anything in the future?"
Song Yong looked at Song Lao Er with some fear, hiding the hatred in his eyes.
"The academy's affairs were kept secret. I don't think the idiots in the third house would have noticed. He's so smart that even your teacher thinks he'll definitely get into high school. Even so, I'm still worried, so I asked that woman from the Bai family for help. Now that the academy is gone, and his marriage is ruined, I wonder how he'll ever get back on his feet."
Thinking of Song Lan, a hint of jealousy flashed in Song Yong's eyes.
Everyone else was studying at the same academy, but he was different. He understood everything instantly, mastered everything in a snap, and his teachers praised him, saying he was a natural born scholar.
It’s a pity that he still can’t beat his father.
So what if he was smart? If he couldn't pass the imperial examination and was entangled with the Bai family, it would be difficult for him to make a living in the future. Once the third house was in chaos, he could thoroughly plan how to obtain the Song porcelain.
Thinking of the other person's beautiful face and porcelain-white skin, Song Yong's Adam's apple rolled.
Over the years, she is the only woman who makes his heart beat.
.......
Tian'er can help keep an eye on Bai Xiu Xiu's affairs. As time goes on, Song Ci feels that sooner or later the other party will reveal his flaws.
But Feng Yi's side was a bit troublesome. She thought for a moment, "I'll probably have to ask Pei Ji for help. Feng Yi is the prince's man, and this matter also involves the academy. If we don't find solid evidence to prove that Feng Yi initiated the dispute, we won't be able to let my brother return to the academy."
This matter is simple to say. Feng Yi claimed that he liked Bai Xiu Xiu and had contacts with her. Song Lan felt that he was slandering Bai Xiu Xiu's reputation and asked him to apologize.
Feng Yi refused to do so, and after a few words of provocation, the two of them started fighting.
In this matter, Song Lan was at a disadvantage. Feng Yi was always surrounded by a group of playboys. He took advantage of Feng Yi's unpreparedness and punched him a few times, but he was the one who got beaten most of the time.
After being beaten, he returned home and never mentioned it.
I'm afraid he's afraid that he and his parents will dislike Bai Xiu Xiu because of this.
Song Ci felt that her brother was still too naive. At this time, Song Lan spent all day studying in the academy and had not really faced the ups and downs of life. With a simple mind, what she wanted to do now was to make her brother see the true face of these people and see that this was a trap.
One thing leads to another.
At Pei Mansion, Pei Ji got the news and said he would meet at the teahouse in the afternoon.
Song Ci arrived on time. After they sat down, she found that Pei Ji looked much better than before. This meant that Lao Gui's medicine was effective and controlled the toxicity in his body and the frequency of the poison attacks.
Pei Ji noticed Song Ci looking at him and coughed uncomfortably, "Miss Song San wants me to help investigate Feng Yi?"
"Yes, that's right." Song Ci came back to his senses, frowned and said his plan, "This matter is too coincidental. First, Bai Xiuxiu suddenly appeared, then Feng Yi, and then the great scholar who is known as the prince's teacher."
"This is a trap." Pei Ji gave a direct conclusion. "The purpose is to target Miss Song San, your brother."
"Then according to Master Pei, where should we start investigating now?"
