Chapter 50 Investigating the Sunset
"In that case, it's okay not to sell it..."
Song Rouxi was very happy, "Grandma, I knew you were the best."
Old Mrs. Song's face, which rarely looked harsh, showed a smile. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Song Ci.
"Big sister and aunt are unwilling to sell this flower because they can't find a good buyer?"
"Third sister doesn't understand flowers, so she might not know the ins and outs of it. But there are a lot of details about how to care for this flower, including when to fertilize, water, and change the soil. If you give it to someone who doesn't understand, the flower will wither in just a few days."
Song Rouxi smiled, looking confident.
This orchid is extremely valuable. There are not many people in Beijing who can grow it or know how to grow it. She doesn't believe that Song Ci can find such a person in a short time.
"I know this flower is valuable, but there's no need to worry, big sister. I have a good place to go."
Li Yao said disdainfully: "Song Ci, you only know a few people. Can you get in touch with people who can afford to buy and maintain these flowers? Don't be so arrogant, you'll make people laugh at you."
Li Yao didn't believe what Song Ci said, but Song Rouxi was stunned for a few seconds. Could it be that the person Song Ci was talking about was Pei Ji? But no one in Beijing had ever heard that he loved flowers.
Old Lady Song was even more rude. "Song Ci, where else can you go? Don't ruin the flowers."
"I accidentally learned a while ago that Zhang Baiwan's wife loves flowers and has planted many rare flowers and plants in her yard. This moon orchid is precious, and I also want to find a good place for my sister's flowers. So I asked someone to bring a message to ask their opinion."
Seeing Song Rouxi's face visibly turned ugly, Song Ci curled her lips and smiled, "Guess what? Our Song family is lucky. Zhang Baiwan's wife has been looking for Yuelan for a long time, but has never been lucky enough to find her. She informed me as soon as she heard the news. She is willing to buy her for more than double the market price. This way, big sister can rest assured."
Song Rouxi: "I won't sell it."
The sharp sound echoed throughout the main hall.
"Big sister, is it true that you love flowers more than you care about the Song family?" Song Ci said with a slightly disappointed tone, "Grandmother once said that big sister is the most sensible and will definitely find a way to bring glory to the Song family in the future. Now it's just a pot of flowers, and big sister refused..."
"You! You're talking nonsense!"
Song Ci blinked and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. Then why doesn't my sister want to sell it?"
Her few words squeezed Song Rouxi so much that she didn't know how to refute. After thinking about it, she could only turn around and beg Old Lady Song in grievance. Before she could say anything, she realized that something was wrong.
Old Mrs. Song's face looked a little ugly.
Song Rouxi's heart skipped a beat and she cursed Song Ci inwardly, calling her a bitch who was trying to sow discord.
What does Old Lady Song care about most? It is the glory of the Song family. If she can be granted an imperial decree, then the eldest and second sons of the Song family can also be promoted.
The reason why he was particularly good to Song Rouxi was because he valued her filial piety and beauty. If she was well trained in the future and married off, she would be able to add strength to the Song family.
Suddenly I heard Song Ci say that she refused to sell even a pot of flowers and didn't care about the Song family.
Old Mrs. Song immediately became unhappy.
This is something she absolutely would not allow.
"Now that we've found someone who wants to buy the flowers, and they can take good care of them, let's sell them as we agreed to from the beginning."
"Grandma..." Song Rouxi couldn't believe it and her eyes quickly turned red.
Unfortunately, this time, Old Lady Song did not show any mercy. She just looked at Song Ci steadily and said, "I'll leave these flowers to you. When you sell them, give me the money."
Song Ci smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandma."
Song Rouxi was so angry that her eyes turned bloodshot and she almost fainted. She had spent a lot of effort to find this pot of flowers.
Song Ci, this bitch, why does she have to go against me!
Why couldn't she just be obedient and accept her fate? The third wife was just a stepping stone, destined to be an obedient slave. A slave should have the awareness of a slave.
If the cattle and horses don't obey...
A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Song Rouxi's eyes.
Hua was taken away very quickly, and Song Rouxi cried in the yard of the main house for several days and hardly even left the house.
Li Yao's life wasn't easy either. Her relationship with Grandpa Song had deteriorated considerably. Grandpa Song had discovered that Li Yao had been deceiving him. She had previously boasted about being filial and serving Grandma Song, but that day at the farmhouse, her lies had been exposed. For ten days, Grandpa Song hadn't even visited Li Yao's house to rest.
This made Wanxia very happy.
She is a concubine, but not a good concubine. Li Yao hates her to the core now. If it weren't for Mr. Song's protection, she would have been bullied by Li Yao long ago.
The more this happened, the more she wanted to curry favor with Mr. Song. Therefore, the more the couple in the first house quarreled, the happiest person was Wanxia.
The Song family also received good news. It turned out that Mr. Song’s superior said that an official named Gao had returned to his hometown recently and a position was vacant, and they were willing to recommend him for the position.
He can take office and take over the position as early as the middle of next year.
From an eighth-rank official to a seventh-rank official, this promotion speed can be considered extremely fast.
After a few days of negativity, Song Rouxi regained her radiance and became the center of attention in the mansion as before. She often went out to attend banquets and make friends with the ladies in the capital.
In the third room.
When Song Ci heard the news, he was briefly surprised, and then there was a deathly silence.
Wanxiang stepped forward cautiously: "Miss, have a cup of tea."
The tea was at the right temperature, but Song Ci didn't move, as if he hadn't heard Wanxiang's words at all.
Sometimes I really have to sigh about how unfair it is that someone like Boss Song can be promoted so quickly. She tried every way to stop him, but he still got such an opportunity.
Song Ci closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Tian'er."
Tian'er took a step forward and said, "Miss, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Help me find someone."
Tian'er didn't ask any questions, but just asked directly: "Who does the young lady want me to find out about?"
"The concubine of the eldest wife, Wanxia."
Tian'er agreed, then turned around, pushed the door open and walked out.
Song Ci thought, since she had agreed, she would have her own way. Tian'er followed her, but she knew too little about this maid. This might be a good opportunity to get to know Tian'er.
After watching Tian'er leave, Wanxiang muttered, "Miss, Tian'er is so powerful, will you dislike me?"
Song Ci was slightly stunned, but soon laughed out loud, "You are different from Tian'er. You have your own strengths. Tian'er has her own abilities. You are different people. Why compare? You grew up with me since childhood. We are master and servant, but you are almost like my sister. How could I dislike you?"
"Really?" Wanxiang smiled. "I am finding it increasingly difficult to understand what the young lady is doing. But I am happy that the young lady won't be bullied anymore."
