Chapter 128 Good News
"Princess, everyone is watching us. Let's go quickly. If we waste time, the Queen Mother will scold you again..."
The maid beside the princess reminded her.
"Just watch it. This princess will be with Pei Ji sooner or later. Besides me, is there anyone else in the capital who is worthy of him?" She snorted softly, "Let's go."
"yes."
...
"Miss, there's news from Miss." Wanxiang came into the room happily, with happiness visible on her face.
"What news?" Song Ci looked up and pulled himself away from the book.
"Yun, there's news from Yunlan." She said and handed over a letter.
Song Ci took it, frowned, then quickly relaxed and raised the corners of his lips.
"It's going well, and we'll be able to close the net soon."
"Whatever the lady wants to do will definitely be accomplished." Wanxiang was very happy. Song Yong had been haunting her these days, but fortunately, there was good news.
"Now Prince Qi is trapped." Song Ci took a deep breath, his chest swelling.
She finally, finally avenged her mother in her previous life!
Every night, she would see those tragic scenes in her dreams, which kept her awake. As long as her enemy was alive, she would not be able to live in peace.
The letter paper in the palm of his hand was crumpled into a ball because of the force.
She was trembling with joy.
After rescuing Yun Dajia, the two began to plan how to trap Prince Qi. And they had to hit him with one strike.
Finally, Yunlan told her that she had a way. Red-light districts had their own ways of killing people. Smart people do smart things. As long as a method can be done, it is a good method.
She just listened briefly and agreed.
Yun Lan: "They are all pitiful people. They just hope that they can live happily in their last few days."
"Money is not a problem."
After receiving a positive response, Yun Lan contacted the poor man he had met in the brothel that day. After getting his approval, he gave a definite answer. This method was thus preliminarily finalized.
With money paving the way and Yunlan accompanying him, Prince Qi soon became deeply involved.
When I was drinking and floating in my dreams, I thought that the person next to my pillow was Mr. Yun, whom I had always been thinking about.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a woman who was suffering from a serious illness and was about to die.
After doing all this, Yunlan sent the person to a house far away, and used the silver given by Song Ci to let her live more comfortably in her last few days.
Then they erased all traces that could lead to their identities and disappeared without a trace.
In the letter, Yunlan said goodbye to Song Ci, saying that what was done was done and they would never see each other again. She thanked her for helping her and that she was going to live a different life from before, and asked Song Ci to take care of herself.
The two of them got what they needed, and the result was good.
"In a few days, send someone to find out if there's any news from Prince Qi's mansion."
"Yes." Wanxiang replied.
The door opened and Qiao Xianglan walked in with a frown.
"What's wrong, mother?"
Sensing something was wrong, Song Ci asked.
Qiao Xianglan didn't answer immediately. She turned around and sat down on the chair with a worried look on her face. "Xiao Ci, your brother..."
Song Ci's heart tightened. She and her father had already agreed not to tell her mother about Song Lan's matter for the time being. She was worried, and knowing this might not be a good thing.
"Mom, have you heard anything?"
Qiao Xianglan nodded. "Today, your grandmother, eldest brother, and second brother are all here. They mentioned Lan'er and asked me if there was any good news. I was wondering what good news it could be, so I came to ask you."
Suppressing the anger in her heart, she comforted him, "Mom, what could possibly happen to my brother? He's not young anymore, and his family is just worried about his marriage."
"Is that so? I see they seem to be hesitant to speak. Maybe your brother has someone he likes outside, and we don't know about it..."
I have to say that Qiao Xianglan's guess was accurate.
They just wanted to let Mom know on purpose to make her feel bad!
"Mom, don't think too much. If my brother has someone he likes, he will naturally tell us."
Qiao Xianglan thought of her son Song Lan and nodded. "He's the one who can't keep secrets. If there's something good going on or someone he likes, he'll naturally tell us."
After sitting for a while and saying some sweet words to her daughter, Qiao Xianglan returned to the house.
Song Ci breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her brother's problem had to be resolved as soon as possible.
...
"Jin brother." Bai Xiu Xiu blinked her eyes and looked at the man in front of her innocently.
"Xiu Xiu." He said with difficulty, "I heard that you have been getting close to another man recently. Didn't I tell you that when I pass the imperial examination, I will welcome you into my family?"
"Brother Jing, my parents are in poor health, and he can use the money to pay for their medical treatment. I, I have no other choice." Bai Xiu Xiu sobbed and cried inconsolably.
Her face was white and tender, with tears falling from the corners of her eyes, and she looked so pitiful.
"But, but you shouldn't do this." He said as he swiftly pulled out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it over. "This is all the money I have. I earned it from copying books recently. Take it. Don't sacrifice yourself for silver anymore."
Sacrifice yourself....
Bai Xiu Xiu felt a dull pain in her chest. She suppressed her uneasiness and carefully pulled the corner of the man's clothes, not taking the ten taels of silver handed to her.
"Brother Jing, you, don't you want to pay attention to me anymore?"
The man turned his face away and said, "I like you, but I can't accept you being entangled with other men."
"No! Don't go." In desperation, Bai Xiu Xiu simply hugged the man.
The man turned around and hugged her as well. The two of them hugged each other in the alley, oblivious to the people around them.
Tian'er stood at the corner with a strange look in her eyes.
After a long time, the man kissed her with trembling hands. Bai Xiu Xiu's eyes widened, but she did not refuse. Her eyelashes fluttered like wings, and she passively accepted everything.
After a while they separated, both of their cheeks flushed.
"No, we can't do this." The man pushed her away and was about to leave.
"Brother Jing, please give me some more time. After this period of time is over, I will be with you."
Bai Xiu Xiu's eyes dimmed, and she hurriedly grabbed his arm and leaned against him. Her weak waist was like a tough willow branch, tightly wrapping around the man so that he couldn't leave.
"Time? What are you going to do."
"I..." Bai Xiuxiu swallowed, "The house he gave me now is nice. I want to take it from him. In the future, Brother Jing can also move from the countryside to live in Beijing, which will make it more convenient for him to study."
"If you don't marry him, how can he be willing to give you a house!"
"This guy is stupid. He'd give me anything if I just said a few words!"
Tian'er in the distance had a cunning look in her eyes, and Song Lan's handsome face flashed through her mind. Well, he was handsome, but he was also really stupid.
