Chapter 211: Who is good and who is bad, you can tell at first sight
She was just waiting to recover her leg before going to see the prince.
On Princess Le Yi's side, Prince Yu brought Miss Shi directly to the Princess's Mansion to meet the eldest princess.
After hearing what Miss Shi said, the eldest princess remained calm and asked, "How can we trust the words of a fool? She said it was the princess who ordered it, so does that mean it was the princess who ordered it?"
Seeing that the eldest princess was going to deny it, Prince Yu smiled and said, "Eldest Princess... No, I should call you Aunt. We all know whether it was the princess who did it or not. The princess's reputation is now so bad that I'm afraid she can't stand it any longer. If Miss Shi tells anyone about it, I'm afraid Aunt will be embarrassed."
The eldest princess sneered at the obvious threat from others, and her face finally showed some life.
"Prince Yu came here today just to threaten me? You're so bold."
"Threat? I wouldn't dare." Prince Yu said lazily, leaning back in his chair as if he had no bones. "I'm just here to give you some advice. The princess is old, so you should find her a reliable marriage as soon as possible. She's been making a fuss every day and every night, and I'm afraid this isn't a good thing for you, aunt."
"What exactly do you want to say?" The eldest princess frowned wildly, feeling that Prince Yu seemed to know something.
"The princess's husband seems to be very close recently. I just want to remind my aunt that there are no secrets in this world." Prince Yu admired the rapidly changing expression on the eldest princess's face with a half-smile, then stood up, bowed gracefully, turned around and walked outside.
Miss Shi felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the princess's expression. She quickly turned around and followed Prince Yu.
Shen Qingman, who had been hiding behind the curtain in the house, came out slowly after they left, "Mom, they..."
“Pah.”
Before he finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment. Shen Qingman was beaten so hard that she turned her head away and looked at the eldest princess in disbelief.
"Mom, you hit me!"
"I'm beating you, a fool who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!" The eldest princess looked at her with disappointment.
"If you can't hit the target with one strike, don't strike. That's what I taught you. Now someone comes to your house to threaten you. This is all your fault."
Shen Qingman choked up, "It's all that Song Ci, she's very cunning, every time my daughter plotted, she dodged it."
"That means you are not as skilled as others!"
"mother!"
"Don't call me mother. I don't have a daughter as stupid as you!" The princess was furious, and there was no warmth in her tone.
She was filled with anger and wanted to restore the princess's honor. The prince consort's family had become increasingly powerful in recent years. On the other hand, after the death of the previous emperor, she, the emperor's half-sister, had never been close to him since childhood. Now, she was just a face-saving favor in front of the emperor.
She originally wanted to use Shen Qingman to marry Pei Ji. Pei Ji's identity and importance are self-evident.
This way, at least her position would be more stable. With her advice, the prince consort would get close to the prince. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, they would have the merit of following the dragon, so there would be no need to worry about not being prominent! There would be no need to worry about not being able to restore their honor.
But unfortunately, Shen Qingman couldn't win Pei Ji's heart at all!
Pei Ji was a crucial link, and the task given to them by the Crown Prince and the Queen was to win over Pei Ji. However, this plan had made no progress so far. Without Pei Ji, they were worthless in the eyes of the Crown Prince's faction.
"Forget it, I have to do it. I want to see if a mere little girl can escape my clutches."
........
Song Ci got the news from Le Yi and knew that Prince Yu had already warned the county lord and the princess.
There is not much she can do right now, so she must stay calm.
If the princess and the commandery continue to behave like this, don't blame her for being rude.
The Song family's first and second branches are only doing favors for the third branch out of respect, and the third brother Song is almost too lazy to even do favors for face.
Old Lady Song looked at the banknotes in front of her, her brows furrowed. "Two hundred taels, you're giving it away to beggars on the street! Third brother, we haven't divided the family property yet, so you should hand over all the money you've earned!"
Song Lao San said in a deep voice, "It's been a bad year, so this is all I earned. If you think it's too little, your son will take it back."
Old Mrs. Song was so angry at Song Lao San's attitude that she almost vomited blood.
Come on, two hundred taels is two hundred taels. It's better than the eldest brother Song who only has twenty taels of silver a month. The second brother Song has it even worse off, with only eleven taels. These days, he has been living on the silver that the Song family had saved before.
Seeing Song Lao San reaching out to take the banknote, Old Lady Song grabbed it and said, "It's really too little. But... you still have to pay what you owe."
Seeing Old Lady Song's as if it was a matter of course, Old Third Song had no expression on his face.
No expectation, no hurt.
Ever since he learned that the Song family was plotting Song Lan's marriage, he had completely given up.
The reason he was willing to pay the money now was to avoid alerting the Song family and letting them know that he was thinking of splitting up the family business. He actually kept most of the money he earned secretly.
Zhang Baiwan is a good businessman, and Song Laosan is willing to work hard. The two of them have made a lot of money in the past year.
I'm afraid what Song Lao San handed back was less than one tenth of it.
Seeing that Song Lao San wanted more, Song's mother hurriedly called him, "Lao San, please stay in the main room for dinner tonight. Mother asked them to make your favorite old duck soup, okay?"
These days, Song's mother was not unaware of Song Lao San's coldness, but she was the mother and the elder, and it was her son who should coax her, give in to her, and be filial to her. How could she bow her head?
Perhaps it was because Song Lao San had been too cold in the past few months, so she decided to take the initiative to show goodwill.
Seeing that I still care about him, Song Laosan will definitely change his mind.
To her disappointment, Song Lao San's face was indifferent, and there was even a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips, "Mom, old duck soup is cold in nature, and duck has a strong fishy smell. My son has never liked it since he was a child."
Mother Song was stunned for a few seconds, and said awkwardly: "Did I remember it wrongly? I clearly remember that you like to eat it..."
"The one who likes old duck soup is the eldest brother." After saying this, Song Lao San walked out of the main room without looking back, leaving Old Lady Song alone in a daze.
After a while, he spat on the ground and said, "You little bastard, you really think you are something."
When Song Laosan returned to the third room, he could hear the voices of his wife and daughter talking from a distance.
After entering the house, Song Ci smiled and said, "Dad, come here quickly. The kitchen has made a lot of dishes that Dad likes today."
There were boiled chicken, steamed mandarin fish, glutinous rice cakes, and a dish of eight-treasure rice pudding on the table. Song Laosan smiled from ear to ear.
These are his favorite foods.
You can tell who is good to you and who truly understands your preferences at first sight.
