Chapter 33 The Strongest Mouth Substitute, Princess Le Yi
"Why are you crying? If you don't know, you might think you are the one being stopped and slandered." Princess Le Yi couldn't stand her attitude. Who was she showing this to, as if she was ready to cry at any time?
"Your sister has already explained to you that she didn't know anything about it and didn't do it on purpose. Why did you have to say such hurtful words to provoke her?"
Zhou Tianyi couldn't help but scold the woman he admired being embarrassed, and glared at Princess Le Yi.
"Your Highness, why don't you think about this? If your brother treated you like this, would you forgive him easily?" Song Ci's eyes showed no sadness or joy, and his tone was calm.
Zhou Tianyi thought about it. If that were the case, he would probably want to draw his sword and chop someone down...
But, how could Rouxi be the same! She is so kind!
“This is different.”
Song Ci raised her eyebrows, knowing that her explanation didn't make sense. Now that Song Rouxi was performing well, Zhou Tianyi would naturally choose to believe her instead of himself.
But we'll see, there's still a long way to go.
Song Rouxi looked at Zhou Tianyi with tears in her eyes, "Your Highness, I know you mean well, but my sister has a deep misunderstanding of me. I'm afraid..."
He felt bad when the person he loved cried so sadly, and he scolded Song Ci: "I can forgive what happened before. But your sister is so sad now. If you apologize to her immediately, I will forgive your offense to me."
The loose hair on her temples fell on the sides of her face, her thick eyelashes were like a butterfly flapping its wings, and her pink lips had lost their color due to being bitten in anger. When Song Ci got angry, she made people feel charming and aggrieved.
Her eyes were red, she just bit her lips, stared at Zhou Tianyi, and said nothing.
The girl's beauty at this moment was still extremely impactful, and Zhou Tianyi was in a trance for a moment.
His hands tightened in his wide cuffs.
No one noticed this brief look, but Song Rouxi, who had been keeping an eye on Zhou Tianyi, paused for a moment, her eyes filled with disbelief.
When he looked at Song Ci's face again, his eyes were full of resentment and hatred.
"Your Highness, everyone around is watching."
Pei Ji walked behind Zhou Tianyi and reminded him in a low voice.
He came back to his senses and looked at the eyes around him. He felt inexplicably irritated. Looking at Song Ci again, he felt less angry.
"Forget it, this prince does not bother with women."
The crowd dispersed, and Song Ci watched Pei Ji's departing back. Carrying the breeze, he walked slowly, neither fast nor slow, and his posture was impeccable with every step.
Like a standing green bamboo, and also like emerald jade.
Elegant temperament.
He walked a distance and turned to look at Song Ci's embroidered shoes. Song Ci quickly retracted her foot, but she said nothing and just walked away.
Song Ci secretly annoyed herself for not being cautious enough. If someone saw her, she wouldn't be able to explain herself. Moreover, the person who plotted against the princess was still in the dark. If they knew that she had meddled in the plot, she and her family would be in trouble.
"This Pei Ji, he wasn't like this before, but today he's meddling in other people's business and stealing the spotlight from this princess."
Le Yi snorted in dissatisfaction at Pei Ji's back, turned her head to look at Song Ci's thoughtful eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Song Ci, you don't like Pei Ji, do you?"
Song Ci came back to his senses, his face a little confused.
"Listen to me, princess. No matter who you like, you can never like Pei Ji. He's not a simple man..."
Then he talked in detail about Pei Ji's cruel and ruthless deeds over the years.
Seeing that she was still lost in thought, she patiently asked, "Did you hear clearly? This princess is speaking to you out of kindness, so please don't be ungrateful."
Song Ci knew she meant well, but her tone was still arrogant, which made her laugh.
It was clearly a caring word, but to her it sounded like rudeness.
Knowing that the other party had misunderstood, she was too lazy to explain and instead asked about what had happened just now, "The princess fell into the water just now. Do you know who framed you like this?"
Le Yi's face darkened. She had just been in the house and had heard the noise outside clearly. It sounded very familiar.
"Feng Yi, a famous playboy in the capital."
Sure enough, Song Ci thought. It really is this person.
"Why would he do that?"
"Feng Yi should be working for someone else. He took great pains to find someone like him to deal with me. Feng Yi's status is different. Even if someone finds something wrong after this incident, without solid evidence, no one can openly punish him because of his grandfather's grace in saving the late emperor."
Unexpectedly, the seemingly spoiled Le Yi knew everything in her mind.
Song Ci understood and felt relieved.
"The party is almost over. Why don't you come with me? Your sisters don't seem like good people."
Song Ci thought of his broken donkey cart and nodded in agreement.
After being escorted to the door, Princess Le Yi opened the curtain with an uneasy look on her face. "Can I... play with you in the future? I don't have many friends. Since I see you don't have many friends either, I'll be merciful and become your friend."
Song Ci almost laughed out loud. If she wanted to make friends, would she be afraid that no one would come forward?
"OK."
Le Yi's eyes curved with laughter.
In the courtyard of the third room, Qiao Xianglan saw her daughter return and hurriedly pulled her to sit down and talk. The mother and daughter were very close, and Wanxiang often laughed and joked beside them, and some laughter could be heard from far away in the courtyard of the third room.
After dinner, the family sat in the yard enjoying the summer night breeze. Song Laosan looked at his wife and daughter beside him, and his face was full of smiles.
"Third Master, Third Madam, Third Miss, the old lady invites you to the main courtyard to talk."
The person who came was Lingyu, who was beside the eldest lady.
Qiao Xianglan stood up a little awkwardly, "Miss Lingyu, the old lady asked our family to go, but what is there to say?"
Lingyu glanced at him disdainfully, "I don't know about that, but perhaps the Third Miss knows in her heart what good things she has done."
"It's not your place as a servant to comment on how I do things." Song Ci said coldly.
"You, you are still being stubborn. How did you bully my young lady today? Wait until we get in front of the old lady and the master and mistress, then you can explain it nicely. My young lady is kind and gentle, don't think you can bully her." Ling Yu was furious.
In the past, Song Ci couldn't say a word, but now he is becoming more and more eloquent.
"Let's go." Song Ci was too lazy to pay attention to Lingyu's provocation.
Qiao Xianglan looked worried and hurried to follow. Seeing Lingyu like this, she was afraid that Xiaoci would be embarrassed again, so she said she would stop it no matter what.
Song Laosan followed closely behind.
When they arrived at the main hall, Old Madam Song was hugging the aggrieved Song Rouxi and coaxing her, "Don't be sad. If you are sad, grandma will be sad too."
Song Rouxi's eyes were red. "I knew that grandma loves me the most."
"If grandma doesn't feel sorry for you, who will she feel sorry for? Will she feel sorry for that little bitch?" Old Mrs. Song was furious.
At this moment, the third wife had just arrived at the main hall. Inside, Old Lady Song was furious.
"Mom. Why did you call us here? What's the matter?" Song Lao San asked as soon as he arrived.
