Chapter 176 Song Porcelain's Gift
Song Ying was stared at by everyone, biting her lips and shaking with anger.
The last word he said was, "Yes, Mr. Liang San and I are engaged. It is my own free will..."
She almost bit her lip while saying these words. She knew that after she said these words, the rest of her life would be doomed to be tied to the Liang family, that idiot. She had no other way to go.
If she refuses to acknowledge the engagement, her reputation will be ruined and no one will be willing to marry her in the future. It will be a luxury for her to live a life of seclusion and leisure. Maybe her cruel father and those cruel people in the Song family will have her hanged with a white silk silk.
The leading yamen runner took a look and said, "Since they are already engaged, I think today's situation is just a misunderstanding. We will leave first."
Madam Liang gave the nanny beside her a wink, and the nanny understood and quickly stopped them, saying, "My dear officials, please don't leave in a hurry. It's getting hot now. Why don't you stay in the mansion and have some tea before leaving?"
The bailiff waved his hand, "No need, we have important matters to attend to and cannot stay for long."
The plan to keep someone to investigate fell through, and Madam Liang's face became even uglier. Her son was having an affair with the slut from the Song family, and he had an easy way out in front of the yamen runners. This was something that had to be done.
But today's series of events were strange. She wanted to find out more but the other party didn't appreciate it, and her face was burning with anger.
Li Yao's back was completely wet at this moment. She never thought that the person who finally drank the tea with added ingredients was Song Ying.
Looking at Mrs. Liang's expression, she was obviously dissatisfied. Her hands were trembling slightly, and she wanted to explain. However, before she could step forward, she was slapped hard by Mrs. Liang.
"Madam!" Li Yao exclaimed, covering his face.
At this moment, Song Rouxi came back from her walk. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor and it was full of smoke, she walked over immediately. As soon as she came over, she saw her mother being slapped by Madam Liang.
"Mrs. Liang, you are so kind, why did you attack my mother?"
Madam Liang's gloomy eyes swept over Li Yao and fell on Song Rouxi. "You are really well-educated. I asked you to come to my house to talk. You, Miss Song, are actually involved with my son. I will not let this matter go like this."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Let's go!"
The maids and the nannies immediately followed him.
Song Rouxi was confused. What did they mean by getting together? Wasn't this all planned? Why was Madam Liang angry?
She glanced around and saw Song Ying lying on the bed, naked and with messy hair. Her breathing stopped immediately.
"you......"
Song Ying glanced at her hatefully. At the moment, she was only immersed in the fact that her happiness in the second half of her life was destroyed, and her heart and eyes were filled with hatred.
Seeing Song Rouxi's surprised and puzzled look made her even more angry. These people were plotting against her, so why was she pretending now? One day, she would teach them all a lesson.
On the way back, the carriage was so quiet that it seemed as if the air had frozen.
Li Yao thought for a moment and asked, "Song Ci, I've been thinking about this, and there's something wrong. You've been following Song Ying, but have you noticed anything wrong today?"
Her tone was tentative, and it was obvious that she felt that Song Ci must have been involved in this matter.
"I don't understand what Auntie said. I was having tea with my two sisters. The eldest sister got up to go for a walk and invited the second sister, but she didn't want to. There was nothing strange about it."
Li Yao heard that Song Ying had left it on her own. Song Ci would never lie in front of everyone about this matter. So what was the problem? Did Song Ci see through their plan and play along, or was it just a coincidence?
Her eyes were filled with doubt and uncertainty. Although she spoke unintentionally, the listeners took it to heart.
Song Ying, who had been quiet just now, suddenly had a look in her eyes that lit up, and then a strong hatred ignited in her eyes again.
Yes, Song Rouxi tried her best to invite her to leave, and she looked anxious. She didn't think much about it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, everything is strange.
It seems that the eldest wife's target at that time must have been Song Ci, but she accidentally became the scapegoat.
She felt desolate and hated the eldest wife even more.
The first and second houses were secretly on good terms, and the relationship between the two houses was even closer. They plotted against Song Ci, but didn't tell me, and even hurt me. Since I was already like this, why was Song Rouxi still fine? Why?
Li Yao fell into deep thought, and Song Rouxi glared at Song Ci fiercely.
"Third sister, you were clearly there at the time, so why wasn't it you who drank that strange tea?"
"I don't understand what you mean. Do you want me to be the one drinking this tea?" Song Ci asked with a smile, which made Song Rouxi's heart jump.
She naturally hoped that it was Song Ci who drank the tea, but she couldn't say this to his face.
“How could that be…?”
"I was overthinking it." Song Ci interrupted him coldly and turned away, otherwise she would feel sick. What a bunch of hypocritical people.
When they arrived at the Song family, everyone dispersed with their own thoughts, and no one cared about what would happen to Song Ying in the future.
Song Ying returned to the second room, and no one knew what they said. That night, the first and second rooms were quite lively for a while.
Wanxiang came back after getting the news and whispered, "Even though I was far away, I could still hear the quarrel between the First and Second Masters. It was quite a spectacle. The Second Master, who used to be calm and composed and always followed the lead of the First House, was furious for the first time."
Wanxiang couldn't hide the teasing in her eyes. These people who schemed against the young lady and the third room every day deserved it! Pah!
Song Ci picked up the comb and gently combed her hair. Her black hair fell behind her like a silk waterfall. There was a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. The moonlight from the window fell on her, and her whole body was glowing with a soft and bright light, like a fairy under the moon.
Wanxiang and Tian'er were stunned and it took them a while to come back to their senses.
"By the way, please thank Mr. Pei for me about this." Song Ci thought for a moment and said with a smile.
Tian'er nodded, "I will convey the young lady's words."
She took out another purse from the drawer. Looking at the crooked stitches on it, Song Ci felt a little embarrassed. "I embroidered this myself. He has helped me many times, so this is a gift in return. Tell him that I am not good at sewing, but the herbs in the purse are excellent. They can repel mosquitoes and insects in the summer, and they also have a refreshing effect. He...if he likes it, he can wear it. If he doesn't like it, he can throw it away."
She said it nonchalantly, but her eyes were full of anticipation. Tian'er saw it clearly and said with a smile, "Since it's Miss's intention, I think Mr. Pei will definitely like it."
Song Ci pursed her lips and chuckled, not saying anything more.
In the evening, A Lin came to Pei Ji's study with a purse in hand and a strange look on his face.
After knocking on the door and entering, Pei Ji was reading a book carefully.
"Young Master."
Pei Ji didn't like being disturbed when he was reading, and only a close attendant like A Lin dared to enter the room at this time. He frowned and immediately felt a little displeased, "What's going on?"
