Chapter 129: New Year Gift Controversy
"Are you serious? You want to live a good life with me after this? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"No, no, really, I don't want to be separated from you anymore." Bai Xiu Xiu's eyes were nervous, and it seemed that she really liked the man in front of her.
This kind of look was something Tian'er had never seen when she came into contact with other men these days.
It turns out that such people can also have someone they truly love.
She felt a little emotional.
"Okay, I'll trust you this once. If... you lie to me again, don't come to me again. I'll completely break up with you."
The two of them parted ways affectionately. Bai Xiu Xiu looked around cautiously before hurriedly walking into the house.
Tian'er looked in the direction the man was going and followed him silently.
As the New Year was coming to an end, Song Ci unexpectedly received several carts of New Year gifts.
The gift was sent by Princess Le Yi. It was not expensive, but the thought was what mattered most. She also complained in the letter about how busy she had been these days and how much she missed Song Ci. She hoped that they could meet soon.
There was another car, and the owner of the gift was a little strange.
It turned out to be Prince Yu.
Song Ci searched around but didn't find any message, so the person who gave the gift smiled.
"Miss Song San, these are all produced on our prince's farm. Fresh fruits and vegetables, and some fabrics."
Fruits and vegetables are fine, but this fabric...
skein of yarn.
It is really too expensive.
The person who came explained, "The twill is light and thin, and it shimmers when worn. His Royal Highness Prince Yu said that Miss Song San can wear this dress when she attends the palace banquet tomorrow."
Song Ci raised his eyebrows. Has he even thought of this?
As the two were talking, an untimely exclamation came from behind them. "Good for you, Song Ci. You actually chose the New Year gift given by others first."
Song Ying walked over angrily and took the skein of yarn from her hand.
Looking at the fabric in front of her, which showed a beautiful luster, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "What a beautiful fabric! I have never seen it before."
Song Rouxi also saw it, and her reaction was normal.
In her opinion, no matter how good something is, once it comes to the Song family, it will naturally belong to her.
"Third sister, I'm so disappointed in you. How could you secretly hide the New Year gift? This steward must be someone my father knows, and he came to deliver the gift. This thing belongs to our eldest wife."
Just as the steward was about to speak, Song Rouxi interrupted him, saying, "Steward, don't worry. I will definitely tell my father that your things have been delivered."
Song Ying said in a mocking tone, "This person was sent here for your uncle's sake. How dare you, Song Ci, accept it with such a thick face? If I were you, I would want to find a tree and hang myself right now."
No matter what she said, Song Ci remained indifferent, and even a hint of sarcasm appeared in her eyes.
Song Ying felt a little uneasy, as if something was wrong?
The noisy noise attracted everyone in the house. Old Mrs. Song glanced at Song Ci coldly and asked what had happened.
Song Rouxi added fuel to the fire and spoke faster.
"Third sister might also like this fabric, but she absolutely shouldn't try to possess it privately."
Boss Song was also a little curious about who sent it.
Ever since the last sunset incident, he had worked hard and spent a lot of money treating people to drinks and meals, thus restoring his previous reputation.
What's more, they didn't think anyone would give Sanfang such a good thing.
New Year gifts are all about exchanging favors and expressing mutual kindness. What is there for the third room to interact with?
When Boss Song heard this, he naturally thought that the New Year gift in front of him was for his own family.
"Song Ci, how can you be so shameless? You want to take possession of the things given to your uncle's family." Old Mrs. Song didn't care about anything and started cursing.
The steward frowned. How could the Song family be so rude? Seeing that Song Ci was silent and looked calm, he rolled his eyes and didn't rush to explain, wanting to see what the other party planned to do next.
"Grandma, don't be angry. This fabric is truly beautiful. It's normal for my third sister to have such feelings for it."
Song Rouxi spoke with a smile, seemingly trying to save the situation, but in fact she was confirming the accusation that Song Ci wanted to take all these things.
Old Mrs. Song became even more unhappy.
These were given to the eldest wife, so naturally she had her share. How could they be taken away by the third wife? The third wife deserved it!
"Song Ci, I knew you were an ungrateful person, but I didn't expect you to be so dirty." In front of outsiders, Old Lady Song was so direct and sarcastic without giving any face.
Song Lan was just coming in from the door, and frowned when he saw this scene.
"My sister is not like that."
"She's not that kind of person? Then why is she holding on to these things?"
"Third brother, it's not that we are wrongly accusing Third Sister. Second Sister saw it clearly just now, we are not wrongly accusing anyone."
Old Mrs. Song sneered. It turned out that she was from the third house and could not be tamed.
The boy Song Lan still sides with his sister.
"Everyone saw it with their own eyes, how can you say it's an injustice? Song Lan, you're a scholar, but you don't understand these principles."
Song Ying argued confidently, and the guilty feeling she had originally felt disappeared after hearing the words of several people.
Song Lan frowned, "Do you have any evidence to prove that these things were given to the first wife? What if they were given to our third wife?"
After he finished speaking, Boss Song laughed first. "Song Lan, your father doesn't hold an official position. He's just a businessman. How could such an expensive New Year's gift be given to him? Or do you think it's for you? After all, you're young and full of youthful energy, so you might say things without thinking. Don't be offended, Steward. We will definitely discipline the younger generation in our family."
The steward looked up, his eyes full of mockery.
What an idiot.
If it’s not given to anyone else in the third branch of the Song family, couldn’t it be given to Miss Song San?
The manager didn't say anything, so Boss Song took it as his consent. The smugness on his face became even stronger, and he looked at Song Lan and Song Ci with indescribable contempt in his eyes.
"Song Ci, why don't you apologize to your uncle!" Seeing that Song Ci was still indifferent, Old Lady Song started to scold her.
Song Ci glanced at her and said indifferently, "Are you done?"
"You! What's with your tone! Is this how you talk to your elders?"
"Uncle, do you really think this is for you?" Song Ci ignored Old Lady Song and turned to look at Boss Song.
Boss Song: "Although my official position is not high now, I have made many friends. It is not surprising that someone gave me a valuable New Year's gift."
Song Ci smiled.
"Song Ci, I know you're upset, but this thing doesn't belong to the Third House." Song Rouxi's eyes were full of malice. "However, if there's anything you can't use, I can make the decision and give it to your Third House later."
Song Lan was furious, "You!"
Song Ci stopped him and said, "I appreciate your kindness, elder sister, but this is not necessary."
