Chapter 574 I feel bad for my brother
"Okay, now that you have made up your mind, your father knows that this is not your first marriage, so I won't give you any more instructions. Just prepare well." Duke Anguo smiled again.
He almost started to suspect that his son had also been brainwashed by the rumors outside and believed that he was unlucky in marriage and didn't want to get married anymore. Now that his son has figured it out, there is hope for the Song family to have a successor.
As for whether this marriage will be successful?
Duke Anguo never thought that it would not succeed.
It's a rare occasion that my son cares about me. If He Yu refuses, don't blame him for bullying me.
Duke Anguo stroked his chin, a hint of banditry in his eyes.
Song Yanjun had no idea what his father was thinking, so he was about to leave after finishing his business.
Neither of them noticed anyone at the door.
When Song Zhenzhen heard that Song Yanjun was about to leave, she was startled and hurried to leave. In her panic, she didn't pay attention to her feet and stepped on a dead branch, making a "click" sound.
"who?"
Song Yanjun's voice was heard in the study, and then the door opened.
When Song Zhenzhen was stunned, Song Yanjun had already seen her and was stunned for a moment: "Zhenzhen!"
Hearing this voice, Song Zhenzhen turned around, and a coquettish and flattering smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face. She called softly, "Brother, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."
After saying that, she quietly stuck out her tongue, her little face looking guilty.
Song Yanjun sighed helplessly: "When did you come?"
"I heard that my eldest brother didn't even have dinner. He went to look for you because he was worried. Then I heard from the servants that you were in my father's study."
Listening to Song Zhenzhen's explanation, Song Yanjun's expression became a little serious: "Did you hear everything?"
Song Zhenzhen's face froze, and then she nodded blankly. Not knowing what she was thinking of, she took a few steps towards Song Yanjun and looked at him anxiously: "Brother, Dad is right. There are many ways to compensate He Zhiyan. There is no need to sacrifice your lifelong happiness. What's more, you didn't do it on purpose, and Wu'an Marquis' Mansion doesn't dare to force you to take responsibility."
He Zhiyan is a sickly girl, how can she be worthy of the eldest brother.
Who knows what this woman's intentions are? Did she deliberately seduce Big Brother while he was confused so as to achieve her goal of marrying into the Duke of Anguo?
Whenever Song Zhenzhen thought about Song Yanjun marrying He Zhiyan, her heart felt like it was being gnawing at by millions of ants, and jealousy grew like wild weeds.
Damn the He family, they actually dared to plot against my eldest brother!
When Song Yanjun heard Song Zhenzhen's words to stop him from marrying He Zhiyan, he frowned slightly, then looked at her gently and said softly, "I know how to handle this matter, Zhenzhen, don't think too much about it."
Song Zhenzhen bit her tongue and said, "Brother, I feel bad for you."
"I know whether it's worth it or not. Since you heard it, you know the impact of this matter on Miss He. I hope you will keep your mouth shut."
Upon hearing this, Song Zhenzhen opened her eyes wide and looked at Song Yanjun, feeling aggrieved and unwilling.
More of it is hatred towards He Zhiyan.
Big brother actually protects her like this?
Song Zhenzhen felt as if there was a fire burning in her chest, but she had no outlet to vent. She clenched her hands into fists on both sides of her body. She wanted to ask Song Yanjun loudly, why did he marry He Zhiyan? What was so good about her?
Why has my brother never seen her affection for so many years...
"Zhenzhen, what are you daydreaming about?"
Song Yanjun's cold voice pulled Song Zhenzhen back to her senses. She was shocked and quickly suppressed the jealousy and resentment that kept surging up like a tide. She raised a sweet smile and looked up at Song Yanjun innocently: "I was thinking that my elder brother has been single for so many years, and I will finally have a sister-in-law again. I have never met Miss He before, and I don't know if she is easy to get along with, and whether she will dislike me."
As she spoke, there was just the right amount of worry in her eyes.
When Song Yanjun heard Song Zhenzhen's words, his heart softened slightly, and he patted her shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, sister, Miss He is gentle and kind, you two will definitely get along well. Let's not talk about it for now, I have to prepare the betrothal gifts for the marriage proposal."
Song Zhenzhen dug her fingers into the flesh, trying hard not to let her emotions leak out.
Gentle and kind?
Brother, you are so sure about He Zhiyan's character, when did they first meet?
"Brother is busy, let me help you."
Song Zhenzhen said with a sweet smile.
"No need." Song Yanjun shook his head without hesitation: "If I ask someone else to do it, it would seem that I am too insincere. Zhenzhen is also a woman, and I believe she also hopes that her future husband will value and cherish her."
Song Zhenzhen almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face. Song Yanjun's words were like sharp arrows piercing her heart, causing her to feel a sharp pain.
She never expected a future husband, the only person she wanted to spend her life with was the one in front of her.
Song Zhenzhen hates any woman who wants to monopolize Song Yanjun, but the relationship between brother and sister is a gap that she can never cross.
Song Yanjun didn't know what Song Zhenzhen was thinking. After saying this, he told her to go back quickly and turned away.
Looking at the figure slowly disappearing in front of her eyes, Song Zhenzhen could no longer hide the ferocious look on her face.
Liu Xiang walked to Song Zhenzhen's side, glanced at the study and said softly, "Miss, let's go back first."
As Song Zhenzhen's most trusted and confidant maid, who has served her since she was a child, she naturally knows the deepest secrets in her master's heart.
Hearing Liu Xiang's voice, Song Zhenzhen came back to her senses and left with gritted teeth.
He Xiong sent He Zhimiao to a nunnery overnight to become a nun, and announced to the public that she died to prove her innocence.
The servant who ruined He Zhimiao's innocence had been beaten to death by him long ago. As an imperial censor and future Marquis of Wu'an, how could he accept that his daughter would marry a servant? This was simply throwing his face to the ground and trampling on it.
If it weren't for the fact that He Zhimiao was his own flesh and blood, He Xiong would have killed her long ago.
That night, after He Zhimiao made a crazy scene, He Xiong knocked her unconscious, tied her hands and feet, threw her into a carriage, and sent her to a nunnery outside the capital. The servants who followed her also carefully warned the nun in the nunnery that this was a young lady from an official family who had committed a serious crime, and that the only thing she needed to do was to keep her life and not let her leave the nunnery.
He Xiong thought that Song Yanjun's anger might subside after learning about He Zhimiao's death. After all, his apology was sincere. However, he was stunned by a memorial from Emperor Chengde when he attended the morning court the next day.
"Lord He, did you write this memorial impeaching the Eighth Prince?"
When He Xiong heard this, he was shocked and looked up at Emperor Chengde in a daze.
"Forming a clique for personal gain, taking bribes and bending the law, aiding and abetting the tyrant, and forcibly seizing women... Oh, it's hard for you to take so much trouble to list all these crimes."
The words of Emperor Cheng De floated into his ears, and it was like a few huge rocks crashing down on his head, frightening him so much that his breath was choked and he almost fainted.
thump--
He Xiong knelt in fear in the center of the hall and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I have not submitted this memorial."
Is he crazy? Knowing that the emperor favors the eighth prince, he still recklessly impeaches him.
