Chapter 291 I prove myself!
It didn't matter if he sacrificed himself, but what about the elderly and children at home? And what about his wife who had been honest and kind all her life?
He had to think about them.
The vendor lowered his head, with loss in his eyes.
"Look, who can prove it for you?" The lady, dressed in luxurious attire, adjusted the hairpin on her temples, her eyes moving, very charming and domineering.
"I don't need others to prove it to me, I can prove it to myself."
After a moment of surprise, she sneered, "What a big tone! Do you think others will believe you when you speak for yourself? You are indeed a small family, and your words are irrelevant."
This sentence sounded fine at first, but Song Ci soon realized that there was something wrong.
The lady in front of him said that she came from a humble family, so she must be very familiar with her situation and family background, otherwise she would not be able to say it with certainty. Now the Song family is in trouble and cannot spare the energy to find such a person to harm them.
Then the identity of the person in front of me is probably related to the Pei family.
She is so young and beautiful, yet so arrogant and targeting herself. The answer is obvious.
"Mrs. Pei, please be patient."
When her identity was directly revealed, Shao Rong did not dodge at all and admitted it openly, "You know my identity, so you have some insights."
The hand in the sleeve suddenly tightened. He thought he was a useless thing with an ordinary family background and a pretty good appearance. Unexpectedly, he was a silent dog. It didn't take long for him to see through his identity.
Song Ci narrowed her eyes slightly. "I don't know when I offended Madam Pei. Madam Pei actually wanted to harm me like this. It was clearly your people who mishandled the horse, causing it to act recklessly and almost hurt someone. My people saved them, yet you are still aggressive and put a crime on my head. Is this the Pei family's style?"
Her voice rose, and the people around her instantly knew the identity of the person in front of them. The Pei family was indeed powerful.
People around started talking, and Shao Rong's usually calm eyes became a little more nervous.
He actually stirred up the thoughts of the people around him with just a few words, and mentioned the Pei family, creating a situation where he was using power to oppress others. What a sharp tongue he has.
As soon as they met, Shao Rong became more cautious. She must not marry such a person to Pei Ji. She wanted to choose an obedient and docile woman for Pei Ji who could not take charge, rather than the Miss Song in front of her who had more tricks than a honeycomb.
"The Song family should not talk nonsense without any evidence." Shao Rong was very sure that she had handled this matter perfectly and no one saw it. Even if someone saw it, how could the common people dare to fight against the officials?
"Who said I don't have the evidence?" Song Ci smiled.
"Then tell me, where is the evidence?"
Under Shao Rong's gaze, Song Ci walked a few steps to the side of the stunned horse and pointed at its butt. "This is one of the evidences."
Just now, the driver whipped the horse so hard that even though the horse's skin was not delicate, it still left some injuries.
The people around immediately leaned over to watch. Those who had been unable to speak for Song Ci took advantage of the chaos to start a commotion, saying, "The horse was beaten like this, no wonder it's so crazy!"
"Mrs. Pei is really incapable of distinguishing right from wrong! Even if you are from the Pei family, you can't just accuse others so casually."
"It's inevitable that someone is stronger, and that's bullying."
The situation around her turned against Song Ci. For the first time, Shao Rong's face changed with anger, and she glared fiercely at the onlookers.
These low-class people are so tactless that they actually dare to speak up for Song Ci.
She tried hard to remember a few so that she could settle the score later. Everyone seemed to know what she was thinking and was talking at once, which made her eyes dizzy.
Everyone has said that there are so many people, we can’t just arrest and kill them all, right?
No matter how powerful the Pei family is, they would not dare to take human life so lightly.
Song Ci didn't look around and continued to walk to the Pei family's carriage, pointing at the paint that was scratched off the corner of the carriage.
"The final piece of evidence is right here. Both carriages have a patch of paint chipped off, but mine isn't. So where did it chip off?" She walked to the entrance of the alley again and pointed at the wall above. "Your carriage got a chip right here. To have such a large patch of paint chipped off means you were traveling at a very high speed. It's not an exaggeration to say you were speeding down the road."
"And your driver said you were the first to come this way. I'd like to ask Madam Pei, how did you come out of the alley and stop us? How did you end up on this road first?"
Shao Rong was so angry that she turned around and glared at the driver, "Useless."
The driver shrank his head, looking as if he wanted to cry but had no tears. He had tried his best. He was just a driver and had never done such a thing.
"These two points have already shown that today's fault is not mine. Madam Pei, what do you think?"
Facing Song Ci's questioning, Shao Rong's expression changed again and again, and finally turned into a warm smile, "It seems it's just a misunderstanding."
She raised her eyebrows, and the other person just brushed it off as a misunderstanding?
"Misunderstanding? Madam Pei was absolutely certain in front of everyone that I blocked your path and injured your horse. Now you're saying it's a misunderstanding? I'm afraid that's a bit unreasonable."
Shao Rong frowned, her eyes full of disdain. He was indeed a first-class businessman. He just wanted money.
"I was wrong to blame you for this matter. It's inevitable that people make mistakes. Miss Song, why do you have to hold on to it? I wasted your time today and scared your horse. Nanny, please give Miss Song some silver to apologize."
If a noble family really wants to admit their mistakes and make amends, they should prepare gifts and come to the door in person.
Just giving them money to get rid of them is not really harmful but extremely insulting.
Song Ci didn't intend to let it go like this, so he raised his hand to stop the other party from giving him the banknote.
"What do you mean? My wife gave you the banknotes as an apology, aren't you satisfied? You are blackmailing me!" Before Song Ci could say anything, the wet nurse beside Mrs. Pei scolded Song Ci viciously.
"I don't want silver."
Mammy was suspicious, "If you don't want the money, then what do you want to do? You are not thinking of taking this opportunity to get close to our Pei family, are you?"
"climb?"
"Hey, let me see who is trying to curry favor with the Pei family today. The Pei family is so powerful, everyone wants to climb up. I don't know if my father knows that the Pei family is so powerful."
Just as the nanny turned around to scold, she saw Shao Rong kneeling and bowing, "Your Highness greets the Princess."
Song Ci turned around and saw a person leisurely stepping out of the luxurious car. Her face was as beautiful as a blooming peach blossom. Le Yi first winked at Song Ci slyly, then raised an eyebrow as if to say something.
It's my turn to perform.
She was supported by someone as she walked down the stairs, her royal aura evident.
Everyone knelt down and saluted her.
