Chapter 209 Pretending to be ignorant
They are scholars, and they study for their future, not to be calculated. Many scholars present brought Song Lan into the conversation, feeling that they had worked hard for many years and were almost calculated, and the consequences were disastrous.
The crowd was so excited that some people even went to the gate of the Marquis of Bern's mansion that day, smashed the gate with rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, and cursed loudly.
The news spread vividly in the capital. The Song family was not fools. Song Rouxi turned pale after hearing it.
Because many people have spread rumors that the idea of harming Song Lan came from the eldest wife, and everyone knows that Song Rouxi and Song Ci do not get along and have had conflicts many times outside, it is easy to figure out the trick.
If you ask who in the Song family wants to harm the third wife more, isn’t it the first wife?
For a time, the reputation of Boss Song and Song Rouxi's family became something that everyone wanted to punish.
Song Rouxi locked herself in the room, unable to understand why the Bourne Marquisate had revealed this matter even though she had already told the Crown Prince. She wondered if they were crazy.
How could she know that this news came from someone else rather than the Marquis of Bourne?
Not to mention her, the old marquis of the Bourne Mansion is also very angry. That day, someone threw egg leaves at the door and scolded him. Because it was dark, when they tried to chase him out, there was no one there.
In the next few days, there were always signs of eggs and rotten leaves on the door at the entrance of the mansion.
He was so angry that he got mad these days.
"How is Yi Ping'an's matter being handled?"
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, the housekeeper hurriedly said, "Yi Ping'an has already had one leg broken according to the master's orders. He has been very obedient recently."
"If he still doesn't behave, I'll just send him to death, you ignorant thing."
The people of the Song family were anxiously waiting for the rumors outside to end, but they were getting more and more intense. A few days ago, they were just secretly pointing out that the eldest branch of the Song family had harmed the third branch, but after a few days, many details had been added.
For example, Song Rouxi took the initiative to join forces with outsiders to frame her own family.
The Song family suppressed the third branch, and the third branch became the poor one in everyone's eyes.
What’s even more frightening is that no one knows who spread the news, but it’s almost certainly true. Song Rouxi was shocked and angry.
What frightened her even more was the Queen's decree. The eunuch stood before her with a cold expression, "Miss Song, pack up and follow me into the palace. The Queen is waiting to see you."
Song Rouxi subconsciously didn't want to go. She always felt that this trip was not a good thing.
The Queen couldn't possibly be unaware of what was happening outside, and now she was looking for me, probably to make things difficult for me.
She was reluctant in her heart, and it showed on her face. The eunuch in front of her was from the Queen's palace, and he immediately laughed in anger, and his tone became even more unfriendly: "Why, Miss Song is relying on the special treatment of the Crown Prince, and she even ignores the Queen's order.
In this case, I will go back and report to the Empress that Miss Song is unwilling to see me. I will then go back and find the Emperor to see if Miss Song is going to disobey the Emperor's order."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"etc"!
She cursed in her heart, what a damn eunuch, a rootless thing, yet so arrogant. When she became the Crown Princess in the future, she would make sure he died a miserable death.
"Miss Song has finally figured it out and is willing to follow me into the palace."
Song Rouxi: "What are you talking about, eunuch? If the Empress wants to see me, I will obey her. It's just that this happened so suddenly that I didn't recover for a while."
Do you really think he's blind? He saw the anger and reluctance in Song Rouxi's eyes, mixed with a hint of murderous intent.
He just said, "If that's the case, why don't you pack up quickly and follow me. Don't keep the Queen waiting anxiously."
Song Rouxi: "Please wait for a moment, eunuch. I'll go into the room to change clothes and then leave."
The eunuch didn't stop her, his eyes full of amusement. She was just looking for an opportunity to call in reinforcements. But why did the Queen choose today? Wasn't it because the Crown Prince had gone out hunting with some ministers today and wouldn't be back for a while?
I'm just afraid that her wish will be in vain.
As soon as Song Rouxi left, Ling'er walked towards the prince's farm outside the city.
Along the way, Song Rouxi's uneasy heart finally settled down. She told herself that she didn't have to be afraid of anything. As long as the prince was there, what could the queen do?
Half an hour later.
Facing the condescending queen, Song Rouxi's whole body was shaking.
She gritted her teeth and maintained a greeting gesture on her face, but she couldn't get up unless the queen called her, otherwise it would be disrespectful.
Seeing that she was about to give up, the queen smiled and said, "Why are you still bowing? You are such an honest child. Hurry up and bring her a stool so she can sit down and rest for a while. You didn't even remind me that she was still standing."
The nanny beside her said, "I didn't notice it. Miss Song is a sincere person. She must admire the Empress in her heart. That's why she took so long to pay her respects."
"Is that so?" The Queen spoke to Song Rouxi in a contemptuous tone.
"Yes, I have always admired Her Majesty the Queen. It is my honor to come and pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen." Song Rouxi suppressed the anger in her heart and said some insincere words.
The queen chuckled and said, "Sit down now, and talk."
Song Rouxi had just sat down when the Queen asked again, "Recently, there have been a lot of rumors in the capital about your Song family and the Bowen Marquisate. Are you aware of this?"
She shuddered, and indeed she had come. The Queen still asked, and indeed she had called her here for this matter.
"Yes...I know."
"Now that you know, how do you explain it?"
"This matter has nothing to do with my eldest wife. We are all members of the Song family and grew up together. How could I harm them?"
The Queen glanced at her nonchalantly. "Really? I heard that you don't have a good relationship with the Third House and that you've troubled Third Miss Song many times. If that's the case, it's not surprising that there are rumors that you framed the Third House."
Song Rouxi was deeply afraid of being branded as someone who harmed others, so she eagerly defended herself, "This was definitely not our doing."
The queen didn’t care who did it. What she cared about from the beginning to the end was something else.
"Actually, whether it was you or not is not important. They were just some petty quarrels that are not worthy of public display." The Queen changed the subject. "However, the Crown Prince favors you and is very kind to you. Many people in the capital know that you are now involved in such rumors. It is really inappropriate for the Crown Prince. Do you understand what I mean?"
Sure enough, it’s here!
She bit her lower lip and said, "I don't quite understand."
The Queen said: "Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand? You are a smart person, you should understand what I mean. Don't you care about the Crown Prince's reputation at all?"
