Chapter 195 Revenge is the natural revenge
"Why, mother wants to show you to brother?" Song Ci blinked, with a mischievous look on her face.
"You are a girl, how can you say such things! Aren't you ashamed?" She glared at Song Ci and continued, "Does your uncle's family know about this? Your eldest uncle's daughter Xiao Qiong is pretty good, mother thinks."
Song Ci recalled the past, but she was too young at the time, so many of her memories were already fuzzy. She only vaguely remembered that she was a gentle girl.
"She seems to be older than her brother."
"Yes, I don't know if they are engaged yet." Qiao Xianglan was a little worried.
"How about I write a letter to my uncles?" She knew that her uncles had come to the Song family several times and had been bullied. Over the years, her mother felt sorry for them and had little contact with them. She just hoped that they would come less often and suffer less.
Song Ci felt that it was inappropriate, and she was afraid that her uncles would misunderstand and think that her mother didn't want to interact with them.
"But, your uncle and the others......."
"Mother." Song Ci held her hand. "Your uncles are related by blood, so they won't hold it against you. At most, you feel indebted. Be nicer to them in the future and visit them more often. Our family's life will only get better and better. If Sister Qiong is really willing to marry into our family, we will definitely treat her well."
Qiao Xianglan thought about it and finally sighed, "After all, I owe your uncles."
"I'll write to say hello later."
"Well, prepare some more things and send them over together."
"good!"
Song Lan didn't know yet that his marriage had already begun to be discussed in full swing.
He was studying hard in the academy, and next to him was Lin Huo, who had almost recovered. His face was a little gloomy and cold, and it had been like this since he recovered.
"What's wrong with you?" Song Lan asked without any expression.
"It's okay." Lin Huo shook his head, but the words on his hand betrayed his mood. He dripped several drops of ink, and the words were smudged.
"You said you were fine, come on, tell me what happened."
Lin Huo thought about it, his expression becoming even colder, "Brother Song, do you remember my senior brother?"
Song Lan recalled, "Oh, I remember! It's that gentleman who was well-dressed and very kind to others."
Mentioning the word "harmony", Lin Huo curled the corners of his mouth. What a hypocritical man, everyone was deceived by him.
"Do you remember that I was poisoned?"
"Yeah, I remember." Song Lan nodded with clear eyes, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Yes, that's what he did."
"What!" Song Lan almost spit out a mouthful of tea, and quickly changed direction to avoid splashing Lin Huo's face, but the homework he had just finished was also ruined. He looked painful, but he didn't have time to feel sad, so he continued.
"How could it be him? He is your senior brother and seems to have a good personality..."
"You can only know a person's face, not his heart. The invigilator this time is his father's subordinate. I can't think of anyone else besides him. Master...Master said the same thing."
Thinking of how Senior Brother Lin Huo always had a smiling and gentle look towards everyone, Song Lan couldn't help but shudder. He was really a smiling tiger.
"What are you going to do?"
Lin Huo thought about it and said with a smile, "Of course it's revenge."
"Hurry up and tell me what you are going to do. I will definitely not tell anyone else..."
.......
"How could this guy be so mean? They're fellow disciples." Song Lan said with disdain. "Fortunately, Lin Huo isn't a pushover. I thought he was going to let it go, but guess what happened."
"What's the matter?" Seeing that he was keeping it in suspense, Song Ci asked in a flattering manner.
Song Lan smiled crookedly, "As a result, this person was walking down the stairs when he happened to step on a puddle of oil. He fell down and sprained his ankle. The doctor said the bone was broken. I heard that he won't be able to move for the next few months."
This result was beyond Song Ci's expectations. Lin Huo had always shown himself to be upright, gentle, and modest. She had never expected this side of him. However, she soon realized that in his previous life, Lin Huo's rise to power couldn't have been solely due to his gentleness and integrity. He also had some means and brains.
"After this person's fall, it's hard to say whether he can catch up in the next spring exam."
"It's best if I can't catch up! People like this, even if they become officials, will still exploit the people." Song Lan stuffed a piece of dessert into his mouth and spoke incoherently.
Song Lan said he was leaving after having a good time. She smiled and shook her head. Tian'er pushed the door open and walked in, handing her a letter. "Miss, this is a letter from Princess Le Yi."
"Oh? She hasn't written to me in the past few days. I thought she had forgotten me." Song Ci complained softly, but smiled when she opened the letter.
Le Yi complained bitterly about how the imperial concubine had kept her in the palace to learn rules and etiquette these days, saying that she didn't look like a lady from a noble family at all, and that she didn't like needlework. The imperial concubine hired the best needlework master, but the master was very fierce, and the princess was useless and was beaten on the hands anyway.
This letter made Song Ci smile all the time.
Finally, three days later, her mother held a flower-viewing banquet in the suburbs and invited her to join in and admire the talented people together. It turned out that this flower-viewing banquet was held by the imperial concubine for the young lady of the lady's family who was on good terms with her.
We also invited young men from aristocratic families in Beijing who were of age or had outstanding talents and learning, just to provide everyone with an excuse to meet each other.
"She's really something. She chose to let me go to such an occasion."
"Then will Miss go?" Wanxiang came in from outside at some point, holding a plate of roast duck legs in her hands.
"Where did you get the duck legs!" Song Ci sniffed and found them quite fragrant.
"Isn't this just made by the cook? Miss, please try it. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it smells so good." Wanxiang said, swallowing her saliva.
Seeing her like this, Song Ci was too lazy to tease her, "Come on, I can't eat so much, you guys should eat together."
Tian'er didn't hesitate and she and Wanxiang each took a roast duck leg. The three of them ate together, and the whole house was filled with the smell of duck legs.
"I've thought about it and decided I have to go." Song Ci tore off the last piece of duck meat, his tone nonchalant.
Wanxiang was very touched. The young lady finally acted like an ordinary girl. She said excitedly: "I heard that many talented people will be coming. Miss, you can..."
"There are so many ladies, it's a good time to look at more."
Wanxiang was shocked, "Look, look at the lady!"
"Yes." Song Ci smiled and said, "My brother is not young anymore, and mother is worried about this matter. Although mother has already set her eyes on someone, she doesn't know if he is married yet. She needs to wait and see."
So that's how it is...
Wanxiang felt relieved.
"What are you thinking about!" Song Ci saw through her thoughts and couldn't help asking.
"No, nothing!"
Tian'er has been with Wanxiang for quite some time. Thinking of the sketchbook under her bed, she didn't expose it. She must have seen something strange and associated it with the young lady. It's better to give her some face, otherwise she would scratch herself later.
