Chapter 35 Pei Ji Blocks the Knife
Listening to the other party's insults, her face was indifferent: "Since grandma doesn't care about the face of the Song family, then I will kneel."
Old Mrs. Song has no brains, but Old Man Song has some sense.
"Wait, what do you mean? Just say it if you have something to say."
"Uncle is a sensible person. Today at the flower viewing banquet, I met Pei Ji, the young master of the Pei family. He loves drinking tea, and after drinking the tea I brewed, he kept praising it. He even asked me to teach his tea-making skills to the people around him. I don't know when he will ask me to meet him. I can kneel for an hour, but I'm afraid my leg will be injured, and if I go back and limp, I'm afraid it won't be good if someone sees me."
"I was punished as soon as I got home. Pei Ji was also at the flower viewing banquet today. He will definitely suspect that this matter is related to my elder sister and second sister. You don't want to spread any unpleasant rumors."
Song Rouxi looked at Song Ci in disbelief.
She actually knew Pei Ji? How could she, Song Ci, be a good match! She was just her foil. She had brought Song Ci with her today just to show her that she was nothing outside and could never be better than herself, but how did she know Pei Ji?
Even she couldn't say a word to someone of that status...
She almost subconsciously couldn't control the distorted and hideous expression on her face, which made Song Ying beside her tremble.
Big sister, why do you have such a scary expression...
Isn't she the gentlest?
"Pei Ji?" Uncle Song was a little excited. "Are you talking about the Pei Ji who is so popular in Beijing?"
Song Ci lied without blinking and nodded, "Yes."
"Good, it's great to meet Pei Ji. That's good." Uncle Song smiled almost immediately.
Who among the officials in the capital doesn't know Pei Ji? He was a gifted writer at the age of five, earning him the reputation of a child prodigy. Although born into a powerful family, he rose through the imperial examinations on his own, achieving top spot and earning the emperor's favor. Now, at the tender age of eighteen or nineteen, he already holds a high position of power.
"Boss, who is this Pei Ji?"
Boss Song patiently explained it to Old Lady Song, but Old Lady Song's expression became increasingly ugly.
Why didn't Rouxi know such a good person? Why did it have to be Song Ci? This bitch!
"In that case, let's skip the punishment. Mom, what do you think?" Uncle Song spoke, and no matter how reluctant Grandma Song was, she had to nod.
"Dad!" Song Rouxi said unhappily.
Boss Song: "Rouxi, I know you are unhappy, but your sister's acquaintance with Pei Ji will only benefit the Song family."
"But, but she did bully Rouxi, so how can we just let it go like this?" Li Yao gnashed his teeth in hatred.
"Then what else do you want?" Boss Song glanced at her.
Tears froze in Song Rouxi's eyes. She couldn't believe why her father, who had always doted on her, suddenly helped Song Ci so much.
Li Yao was filled with hatred and turned to face the third room.
"If a child is not well educated, it's also the mother's fault." Li Yao looked at Qiao Xianglan viciously, "Third sister-in-law, what do you think?"
Qiao Xianglan whispered, "Sister-in-law...sister-in-law is right." She has always been afraid of this sister-in-law. When she heard this, she subconsciously continued speaking. By the time Song Ci reacted, it was too late.
"Since you have accepted it, then stay here and serve your mother well. Your mother is not in good health and has only one maid by her side. She can't serve you as well as you do. Don't you think so? Learn from your mother and you will know how to discipline Song Ci. It will be a great thing for you." Li Yao had a sneer on his face.
No matter how powerful it is, the word "filial piety" cannot be overcome. If you can't deal with Song Lao San and Song Ci, can't you deal with Qiao Xianglan? She looks so seductive and charming that she hates the sight of her.
Old Lady Song is the best at tormenting people. If Qiao Xianglan serves her, she will be skinned alive even if she doesn't die.
"Aunt really doesn't want to serve grandma and deliberately pushes it to my mother. Grandma treats you so well... Alas." Song Ci pretended to be regretful.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Shut up, eldest brother's wife!" Old Mrs. Song's face was full of anger. "Since that's not what you mean, you will stay and serve."
Li Yaozhi wondered if her mother-in-law had gone mad. How could she serve others? She was the daughter of a scholar. How could she do such a lowly thing?
"Mom, why do you suddenly want me to serve you when you are fine..."
Seeing Li Yao's expression, Old Lady Song became more and more certain that what Song Ci said was indeed true. The eldest lady looked down on her as a mother-in-law and was unwilling to serve her.
"I'm not dead yet. I have the final say in this Song family. If I want you to serve me, you must serve me. Boss, do you think the same as your wife, that I'm unworthy?"
Boss Song glared at Li Yao with a wry smile, then quickly coaxed her in a low voice, "Mom, who in the Song family dares to disrespect you? Since you want her to serve you, let her stay and serve you well. You can let her serve you as long as you want..."
After hearing what Boss Song said, Old Lady Song felt relieved, and it was worth it for all the sacrifices she had made for her eldest son over the years.
But Li Yao just thought that this family was crazy. What's more, there was a sunset in the backyard of the big house. If she stayed here, wouldn't that bitch be getting a bargain? She suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Could it be that Boss Song had this in mind? He wanted to keep me here so he could go back and spend some quality time with that bitch Wanxia.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible, and her heart felt like it was poisoned.
The eldest brother Song was still coaxing Old Lady Song. He still needed Old Lady Song to control the Song family, especially the third brother's family. He didn't notice the change in Li Yao's expression behind him.
Song Ci, who had been lying in her mother's arms, had a flickering look in her eyes. She took in the changing expressions of the Song family members, and a cold sarcasm appeared in her eyes. The reason why the Dafang family was so glorious was because all the Song family members were united.
She wanted to see if the family could still stick together without her own family as scapegoats.
After walking out of the main hall, Song Laosan was still a little dazed. How could he leave without anything happening?
In the past, his mother would always beat him up or scold him harshly to vent her anger, but today it was just a breeze. Was it just over like that? He suddenly felt unreal and sneered at himself. He was really a jerk. He couldn't get used to not being beaten.
Qiao Xianglan hugged her daughter with lingering fear, "You are so brave. Don't argue when they talk. What would you do if they really punished you to kneel just now?"
"Mother." Song Ci stood still, her face serious. "You are the same as Aunt and the others. We are all daughters-in-law of the Song family. Aunt has no right to say that to you."
Qiao Xianglan, who was standing still, didn't expect her daughter to suddenly say this, "But, but your aunt's daughter from a scholarly family..."
"Auntie is the daughter of a scholar, so she should be well-educated, dignified and gentle. You are both sisters-in-law, and she is the same as you."
