Chapter 2: Heavy Motherly Love
Song Qingyuan sat on a rosewood chair, his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, but his mind had already flown away.
The plot of the book was flashing through my mind frame by frame.
After the heroine of the original book was reborn and exchanged her marriage with her concubine's sister, she had secretly made plans and won people's hearts before entering the palace.
Even the murder of the eldest son this time and the use of the "original owner" as a scapegoat was planned by her.
In the original text, the eldest son, Chen Jingxuan, was in a coma for five years and the original owner was executed by the princess.
After the heroine married into the palace, she naturally "adopted" the original owner's two children, and also accepted the staggering dowry.
How ironic.
He used the original owner's money, harmed the original owner's relatives, raised the original owner's children into useless people, and finally let his own children step on their corpses and sit on the supreme position.
[Ding—Mission released: Host, please acquire Zuixianlou within two days and snatch the hostess's favor.]
The sudden mechanical sound made Song Qingyuan's eyebrows jump.
"What kind of system are you using? Sign-in system or villain system?"
[Warning: Insufficient energy, unable to provide detailed instructions. Please complete the task as soon as possible to recharge the system.]
【Tianbao, wait for you to wake me up again. 】
After saying that, the voice completely stopped, as if the power was cut off.
Okay, we still have to start the mission.
Song Qingyuan curled his lips. He was just trying to snatch the female host's favor. He wouldn't be struck by lightning.
As she was complaining in her heart, the eyelashes of the child who had been unconscious on the bed suddenly trembled.
"Aunt Song! The eldest master has woken up!" Aunt Cui's voice was full of surprise and joy, and her eyes changed when she looked at Song Qingyuan.
Song Qingyuan immediately came back to her senses, walked quickly to the bedside, and placed her fingers on Shen Jingxuan's pulse. In just a moment, her brows furrowed tightly.
The princess was sharp-eyed. Seeing that her expression was not right, her heart instantly rose to her throat: "What's wrong? Just tell me!"
"It wasn't an accident, the eldest son was poisoned. The poison has already damaged his lungs."
These words completely dashed the princess's newly ignited hope. Her face turned pale, and she grabbed Song Qingyuan's sleeve, her voice trembling: "It can be cured, right? It must be cured!"
As he said this, he disregarded his status and was about to kneel down as his knees softened.
Song Qingyuan was quick to act and supported her, while his sharp eyes swept over everyone in the room.
"Everyone, stand back and guard the door. No one is allowed to approach!"
Nanny Cui understood and immediately led the maids out, guarding the door tightly.
"Princess, there is only one solution right now." Song Qingyuan lowered her voice, "Contact your family immediately and send your most trusted person to escort the eldest son to Jiangnan to find my sister-in-law overnight."
"The eldest son must leave the palace, otherwise, even the gods cannot save him."
Although Shen Jingxuan on the bed was weak, he heard it clearly. He turned his head and gave Song Qingyuan a gentle but grateful smile.
This child is so beautiful that it melts my heart.
Song Qingyuan added, "To be able to poison you right under your nose, I'm afraid the spies in this mansion have already taken root."
The princess was a daughter of the Cui family and had seen all sorts of shady tactics. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes when she heard this.
She thought she had protected her yard like an iron barrel, but she didn't expect that someone would still take advantage of her.
"I understand." She took a deep breath and regained her composure. "Thank you for what happened today. I'll remember this favor and will get to the bottom of it and clear your name."
Song Qingyuan nodded and said, "Princess, I want to go out of the house for a while. I heard that the Zuixianlou in the city is going to be sold, and I want to ask the price."
The princess was a little surprised. The news hadn't spread yet, so how did she know?
But she didn't ask any further questions, thinking that the merchant family was well-informed, and immediately decided: "It's just a small matter, you don't have to go there in person. I'll let the housekeeper do it. Consider it my thank you gift to you."
Is there such a good thing?
Song Qingyuan's eyes lit up. He got a big restaurant for free. This was worth it!
"Then I'll go back first." She bowed and left decisively.
Not long after I walked out of the courtyard, the familiar sound of electricity rang in my head again.
[Ding—The host has successfully cleared suspicion and changed a key plot point. Reward: 100 points, two night-shining pearls, one hundred taels of silver, and three detoxification pills.]
[It takes 10,000 points to fully activate the system. Please keep up the good work.]
As soon as he finished speaking, a simple, gray page appeared in Song Qingyuan's "mind".
【Balance: 100 taels of silver】
[Points: 100]
As for the night pearl and detoxification pill, she searched for a long time but couldn't find them. She guessed they were in some invisible "system warehouse", so she had to give up.
"Forget it, let me go back and see my two cheap kids first."
As Song Qingyuan walked, he clasped his hands together and muttered to himself, "God bless them, please make sure they are two angel babies, not naughty ones..."
She looked so dazed that she didn't notice that behind the rockery not far away, a pair of deep eyes were quietly looking at her.
Prince Jing'an Chen Yanzhi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Concubine Song, bowing as he walked, his eyebrows raised slightly.
"Isn't she the one who least believes in ghosts and gods?" Shen Yanzhi's gaze followed the figure that was gradually moving away, and a trace of inquiry flashed in his eyes.
He had married Song Qingyuan into the palace for the sake of the mine. This woman was quite obedient, and five months after entering the house, she was found to be pregnant with twins. She played an important role in expanding the Shen family.
But since she gave birth, she has become increasingly quiet, and he has not set foot in her Hibiscus Garden for a long time.
"Your Highness, are you going to the princess?" The guard beside him couldn't figure out his master's thoughts and asked cautiously.
"Go to Yixuan Courtyard to see Jingxuan."
Shen Yanzhi withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the slender figure, and walked straight in another direction.
As soon as Song Qingyuan stepped into Hibiscus Garden, he was dazzled by two golden figures in the courtyard.
The two children had weights hanging around their necks and wrists that were completely inconsistent with their age.
Each person wore at least two layers of shiny gold necklaces and heavy jade bracelets, which jingled when they walked, like two mobile safes.
Song Qingyuan swore that she was not really coveting the big gold chain that she had never dared to dream of in her previous life, she simply felt sorry for her child.
"My dear, be careful not to grow taller if you wear something so heavy."
She quickly stepped forward, muttering distressedly, while deftly stripping off all the gold and jade ornaments from the two children. "Come, let mother keep them for you first."
It felt heavy in her hand, and the texture was so good that it made her heart tremble.
Just as he put the "stolen goods" away, he turned around and saw his daughter Shen Mingzhu squatting on the ground, holding a night-shining pearl the size of a pigeon egg, and smashing it on the walnut with a "bang".
"My little ancestor!" Song Qingyuan rushed over, his heart skipping a beat. "That's a night-shining pearl! Not a stone!"
She held up the bead and examined it carefully against the light. Fortunately, there was not even a scratch.
She just breathed a sigh of relief.
“Crash—”
