Chapter 39 The Money Flies Away
She suppressed her anger and continued with a smile, "You're mistaken. However, the princess came today, carrying several large boxes. I'm afraid she gave you a lot of goodies... You see, we are all family. Our family is in a difficult situation right now. Grandma knows you are a sensible person. You must be reluctant to see the whole family suffer, right?"
Old Mrs. Song thought she was kind, but when Song Ci saw it, she almost vomited several times.
After all, doesn't he just want to bully her and take the money for himself?
What a big face.
"Grandmother, you mean to ask your granddaughter to hand over the things that the princess gave me as a reward."
"I'm not asking you to take them all. You can pick out one or two pieces of jewelry you like, and grandma won't object."
Old Mrs. Song thought she was generous.
"They are all mine, why would grandma care about it?"
As soon as Song Ci said this, Old Lady Song stopped pretending. "You little bitch, how could you have such a big appetite to swallow all the gold, silver and jewelry by yourself? You are a member of our Song family, and the things you receive belong to the Song family."
Song Ci narrowed her eyes slightly, "Grandma, do you really want it?"
When Old Mrs. Song thought about the things in the box, her heart trembled. Those were real silver coins.
She probably had never seen so many in her life.
"I am still the head of the Song family! I should be in charge. When you get married, I will select a few good ones as your dowry."
On the other hand, she cursed in her heart, that little bitch Song Ci could just marry off some scoundrel and be sent away for a few dozen coins. Why would she need these good things? These things should be left for Rouxi and her few adorable grandchildren.
Song Ci raised her eyebrows, "Grandma has spoken, and I have no choice but to obey, but..."
"The princess has ordered that these jewelry and fabrics are for Miss Song San." Tian'er suddenly spoke.
Everyone then realized her presence, and Old Lady Song put her hands on her hips and scolded, "Where did you come from, little bitch? You have no right to speak like that."
She had a tooth knocked out, her mouth was leaking, and she had trouble speaking clearly.
Seeing her funny appearance with a missing front tooth, Song Ci almost laughed out loud.
"How dare you! I'm the princess's maid. She asked me to stay and serve Third Miss Song, and to prevent anyone from having any inappropriate thoughts about these gifts."
Li Yao had already been thinking about how to match those luxurious silks, satins and jewelries. Tian'er's words made her eyes widen immediately. When she thought that these belonged to the third room and she and others could not touch them, she could not help but feel hatred in her heart.
"We are all from the Song family. The third branch has not split up. Why can't we use it?"
Tian'er stepped forward, her voice imposing without anger. "This is what the princess ordered. If you are unhappy about anything, you should talk to the princess. If you dare to go against the princess's wishes with the imperial gift, think about how many heads you have left to chop off."
How could she dare to ask the princess? Today, the princess even beat Old Lady Song!
Li Yao shuddered, his throat seemed to be blocked by hatred and he couldn't speak.
The third wife was just a stepping stone for the first and second wives. How could she be so lucky that she not only got to know the princess but also received so many rewards?
Old Mrs. Song was also unwilling to give up. Seeing Song Ci standing there, she became even more daring and took a few steps forward to hit him.
If she can't do anything to the princess, can she not do anything to Song Ci?
Doesn’t she beat up the younger generation of the Song family whenever she wants?
Tian'er never thought that Old Lady Song was so shameless and would start fighting as soon as she said so. She was unable to react for a while.
But Song Lao San noticed it. Relying on his understanding of Old Lady Song, he almost subconsciously stood in front of Song Ci and received a solid slap in the face.
After all, Old Lady Song was a working person in the past, and her hands were no stronger than those of an ordinary woman. She was determined and used all her strength, and Old Third Song's mouth immediately started bleeding.
"Dad!" Song Ci's pupils shrank and she rushed over.
Song Laosan forced a smile, feeling relieved to see that his daughter was fine.
Old Mrs. Song failed to succeed and wanted to continue hitting. As soon as she raised her hand, Tian'er grabbed it. No matter how she struggled, it was useless. As soon as Tian'er exerted force, she cried out in pain.
"Let me go! You little bastard, let me go! I'll beat you to death!"
Tian'er: "I am the princess's maid. I wonder if you have the guts to lay a hand on me!"
The more she struggled, the stronger Tian'er's hands became. Old Lady Song was in so much pain that she couldn't bear it anymore. She cursed at Song Ci, "You heartless ungrateful bastard, didn't you see this maid attacking me? I'm your grandmother! Why don't you tell her to stop?"
Song Ci moved his ears, pretending not to hear, and looked at his father with a distressed face.
Song Lao San was stunned by the beating. It took him a while to react. Seeing his mother screaming in pain, he hurriedly shouted, "Stop."
Song Ci then said slowly: "Tian'er, let her go."
"Yes." Tian'er pushed Old Lady Song away. Old Lady Song almost lost her balance and fell down. The look on her face became extremely ugly.
After she stood firm, she saw her red and swollen wrist. Old Mrs. Song was also afraid of Tian'er. She was frightened when she thought of her extraordinary strength.
While secretly hating her, she suddenly slapped her thigh and cried, "Oh, I am so miserable. I am also doing this for the Song family. Song Ci, how can you ignore the Song family? I have raised you for more than ten years, and you are being unfilial."
When Old Lady Song started acting, she cried so sincerely that Old Third Song indeed looked a little guilty.
Song Ci immediately took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears. "Grandma, it's not that I'm unfilial. It's really because the princess ordered this, and I have no choice but to obey."
"What about the silver? Don't you still have some?"
"Silver? I don't have any more silver."
Old Mrs. Song was dumbfounded, "Why not!"
"Daddy said that everything should be put first for Grandma. I heard that the White Cloud Temple in Beijing is very effective, so I asked the princess to donate all the money on my behalf to pray for Grandma."
She finished speaking with sobs, looking aggrieved.
"What!"
"What!"
Boss Song opened his mouth wide and gasped heavily, like a frightened old cow.
"Are you crazy? Third brother, look at your good daughter. She's really pissing me off!"
"Mom, Xiaoci is also thinking about you..."
Li Yao's face was filled with doubt. "Such a large sum of money, did you really donate it all? You are really generous."
Song Ci wiped away a tear and spoke carefully, "Auntie also knows that this amount of money is a waste. Our Song family's eldest uncle has just taken office and suddenly got such a large sum of money. I was afraid that others would be jealous, so I decided to donate it without authorization. I can pray for the health of grandma and avoid some danger."
