Chapter 168 You plotted against me? I'll make you bleed
The two sides exchanged words, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding. Song Ci frowned and stood up. "I'm not feeling well. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"I'm not feeling well." Mrs. Liang frowned. "I thought you looked strong and healthy, but how come you're not feeling well?"
Sure enough, the moment the other party said this, Song Ci immediately understood that this meeting today was aimed at her. Perhaps without her knowing, the eldest wife had already reached some tacit understanding with the other party and sold her out.
She looked aggrieved, "I haven't been feeling well. Everyone in my family knows about this..."
Mrs. Liang's face darkened instantly and she fell silent.
Li Yao smiled and said, "This kid is talking nonsense. She has recovered a long time ago. Children are weak when they are young. They will be fine when they grow up."
After thinking about it, Mrs. Liang temporarily agreed with the other party's reason.
She originally wanted to find someone who could take care of her son, was in good health and could endure hardship. What would be the point if she found a sickly and beautiful person?
After walking a few steps, Song Ci started coughing as soon as she took a step forward, "Cough cough cough..."
Li Yao's face changed drastically, and he stammered at Madam Liang's scrutinizing gaze, "Song Ci, you are usually in good health, why are you feeling unwell? If you feel unwell, ask Doctor Lin to come and see you."
Song Ci's face was pale, and he said with trembling lips: "Don't bother me, auntie. This is just an old illness." After saying that, he didn't even look at the ugly faces of the people behind him and walked away.
Wanxiang grew angrier as she thought about it along the way: "I'm looking at this eldest family, and I'm filled with evil thoughts. Just now, Madam Liang started sizing up the young lady the moment she entered the room..."
After walking a few steps, Song Ci no longer looked as weak as before. She curled her lips in disdain and said, "Go back and tell Tian'er to help me find out where this Liang family came from."
"yes."
Li Yao smiled a lot today. Mrs. Liang was unhappy that Song Ci was not in good health, so she continued to smile and said all the nice things she could before the other party stopped getting angry.
All this is because of Song Ci's pretty face.
"Mom, drink some water quickly." Song Rouxi handed over a glass of water.
Li Yao patted his chest and said, "I'm exhausted. Madam Liang is really too difficult to serve. She gets a cold face at the slightest dissatisfaction."
She watched from the side. The more difficult Mrs. Liang was to get along with and the more eccentric her temper was, the happier Song Rouxi was.
Thinking that after Song Ci gets married, she will be tormented by such a bad-tempered mother-in-law all day long, she is so happy that she can jump for joy.
"Mom, don't you think about it? With a mother-in-law like this at the Songci stall, life will definitely be difficult in the future."
Li Yao also laughed when he heard this: "That's true."
In the evening, Boss Song came back and the family gathered around the table for a rare meal. Li Yao kept picking up food for Boss Song, trying to evoke the couple's past affection, but Boss Song always had a cold face until she mentioned what happened to Mrs. Liang today.
"I see, Mrs. Liang agrees."
Boss Song's expression brightened considerably. "So, it's settled?"
"Yes." Li Yao smiled happily. "Although it's a bit awkward that my younger sister is married before my elder sister. But with so many people in Beijing, things like this happen occasionally. It will be fine after a while."
Boss Song didn't care about these things. He just wanted to wait until the two families became relatives. Lord Liang would definitely take care of him, and then he would have nothing to worry about in the Ministry of Rites.
Tian'er got the news quickly, and this was largely due to the efforts of the people Pei Ji left behind.
"The Liang family has three sons. The eldest has been married for two years, and the second is also engaged. Only the third...has yet to get married."
"In my opinion, there might be something wrong with this third young master." Song Ci took a sip of tea and asked leisurely.
"Young lady, you're right," Tian'er said with disdain. "Any family with a conscience wouldn't marry their daughter to him. Not only is he mentally retarded, he's also completely insane. He hangs out in the yard all day, and when he gets angry, he hits people. I heard that even the servants can't hold him down. If beatings don't work, he'll scratch and claw, and even bite."
The more she spoke, the more disgusted she felt. The Song family was really interesting. They actually wanted to marry their daughter to such a family. Isn't this just pushing her into the fire pit?
"As expected, I was saying it. Why would the eldest wife of a wealthy family like the Liang family think of arranging the marriage for me?" Song Ci said in a sarcastic tone.
The eldest wife really wanted to harm her without leaving any room for error, even resorting to such shady tricks.
On the second day, Song Rouxi took the initiative to visit Song Ci and invited him to go shopping and have tea.
The relationship between the two was like fire and water, and they had long been too lazy to even keep face. The other party actually came to invite him, so there must be something fishy.
"Third sister, we had many misunderstandings in the past, but you can't write two Song characters with one stroke. You and I are sisters, and we must take care of each other after we get married. Today we are going out shopping and drinking tea, and all the previous misunderstandings will be wiped out."
What a good way to write it off.
Song Ci smiled and said, "I don't know what tricks you are going to play, but I know you must have not held your fart well."
The blunt conversation almost broke Song Rouxi's careful disguise. She forced a smile and said, "Third sister, you misunderstood me."
"Song Rouxi, you know best whether it's a misunderstanding or not." She stood up and patted the wrinkles on her skirt. "Let's go."
She wanted to see what tricks Song Rouxi was up to.
Seeing that Song Ci was willing to go, the anger on Song Rouxi's face froze. She couldn't understand why the person who had just ridiculed her agreed to go so suddenly. But she didn't care. Soon, Song Ci would be left alone to cry out for help.
She was just waiting for Song Ci to come and beg her.
The carriage was very quiet along the way, and neither of them spoke, mainly because Song Ci didn't want to pay attention to her. Several times, when Song Rouxi was about to speak, Song Ci turned her head away with a look of disgust.
Song Rouxi was extremely angry, but thinking of today's plan, she could only endure it.
The carriage stopped in front of a jewelry shop.
Song Rouxi opened the curtain, her smile stiff, "Third sister, we're here."
She looked up at the shop in front of her and said, "The jewelry in this jewelry shop is expensive. I won't go there."
"No!" Song Rouxi almost immediately retaliated with a sharp voice. Seeing Song Ci's eyes sweeping over, she hurriedly explained, "Since you're here, if the money you have is not enough, I still have more..."
Song Rouxi's heart was bleeding when she said this. This money was given to her by her father and the prince so that she could travel more easily.
Now the Song Dynasty porcelain is getting a bargain for free.
Thinking about Song Ci's fate, Song Rouxi felt that the money was worth it and was no longer angry.
