The best course of action now is to wait until they receive news of Shen Jie.
Song Yan'er also wanted to take this opportunity to test Shen Qing. Well, it shouldn't be called a test, since Song San's injury was real!
Beforehand, someone was arranged to explain Song Sange's situation to Song Dabo's family, and they were repeatedly assured that Song Sange's life was not in danger. Only then did Song Dabo and his wife not come looking for him, but instead cooperated with the charade at home!
Finally, on the morning of the third day, the main character arrived and the performance began. And Song Yan'er finally saw the girl who had haunted Song San's dreams!
She was indeed very beautiful, the kind of face that makes you feel comfortable at first glance! She had no aggression whatsoever; you could say she was a typical woman from ancient times.
When Shen Qing saw Song Sange lying on the bed, barely alive, she burst into tears: "Sanlang, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me..."
"It's okay, it's all over now, don't cry, it will make me sad!" Yesterday he looked like a lifeless ghost, but when he saw Shen Qing, he immediately changed, and his voice was so gentle as he comforted her!
Men really are all big jerks!
"I'm telling you, if you still agree to their marriage, it'll be twenty taels of silver, otherwise I'll take Shen Qing away! You all know Shen Qing has been beautiful since she was little, if you don't want her, plenty of others will!"
The one speaking was Shen Qing's mother, Shen Ye Shi.
But Uncle Song and his wife looked very upset: "Then how do you plan to compensate us for beating my son like this? We've already spent a hundred taels of silver. You're so heartless, beating my son to the point of internal bleeding!"
"Well, who told him to take advantage of Shen Qing!" Shen Ye Shi showed no remorse whatsoever. Her expression seemed to say, "If you're going to sell your daughter, don't take her; someone else will."
"Oh, so saving people is a way to profit? Then let's report it to the authorities! Anyway, this place is very close to the Winterspring City Lord's Mansion! Perfect, I have a good relationship with the City Lord's daughter, I can use my connections to get them to handle it faster!"
Song Yan'er deliberately scared them, not for any other reason than that their family had received a hundred taels of betrothal gifts from Shen Jie and hadn't returned them yet; how could they possibly be willing to go to court now? She heard this from Shen Meng, but Shen Jie had probably forgotten all about it, since a hundred taels was nothing to him! But Shen Qing's family felt guilty!
"Let's forget about reporting this to the authorities! It's a minor matter, not worth reporting to the big shots. So what do you suggest we do?"
Song Yan'er: "It's easy. We can give you the twenty taels you want, but you have to write a letter severing ties with Shen Qing. From now on, your care in your old age and her poverty or wealth will have nothing to do with her!"
“How can that be? I’m marrying off my daughter, not selling her. Even if I were selling her, I’ve raised her with so much care, she can’t be worth only twenty taels!” Shen Ye continued, while Shen Qing’s father, standing to the side, remained silent throughout, with an expression of complete indifference.
"Yan'er, why are you being so nice to them? Why write a letter severing ties? Third Brother's illness requires proper care and a lot of money. Your eldest uncle's family definitely can't afford it. Wouldn't it be easier if both families supported him together? After all, Third Brother is their son-in-law. They can't just stand by and watch him die!"
Song Yan'er slapped her forehead: "Of course! How could I be so confused? Uncle, Aunt, please don't blame me! I forgot about Third Brother's serious illness. Yesterday, when the doctor left, he said that we should prepare more money. Third Brother's internal bleeding needs to be carefully managed, and we can't be negligent at all! He has to stay in bed until he recovers!"
Shen Qing's parents' faces changed when they heard this!
“We’re not marrying him. How can someone with his sickly health marry my daughter?”
Although Shen Qing's reputation isn't great these days, and she almost got married twice, she's very beautiful, and men especially appreciate good looks, so she'll still be easy to marry!
Hearing her mother's words, Shen Qing picked up the fruit knife that Song Yan'er used to peel fruit from the table and put it directly against her own neck.
"Qing'er, what are you doing? Put it down!"
Shen Qing said resolutely, "Sanlang, we are destined to be apart in this life, but in the next life I will definitely bear your children and be a virtuous wife and loving mother!"
Then she looked at her parents and said, "Father, Mother, please forgive me for not being able to stay by your side to fulfill my filial duties. I don't want to marry anyone else. If you agree, I will marry Sanlang. If you don't agree, I will end my life here so that you won't have to worry about me!"
Seeing that there were already bloodstains on Shen Qing's neck, Song Sanlang immediately tried to get up to stop her. He bumped into something and groaned, but he didn't care and continued to struggle to get up.
It wasn't until Song Yan'er came to his side and gave him a reassuring look that Song Sanlang calmed down! For some reason, Song Sanlang just trusted Song Yan'er!
"Qing'er, how could you be so foolish? We don't even know how healthy he is right now. You'll only suffer if you stay with him! Listen to your parents, we'll definitely find you a good husband in the future!"
Madam Shen wished she could just drag Shen Qing away to stop wasting time, but looking at Shen Qing's resolute eyes, Madam Shen felt a little scared for the first time! She was also a little afraid that her daughter would really stab her like that!
Shen Qing said, "Mother, there is no future. I only want him. No matter what he becomes, he is who he is! Only he can give me the warmth that you can't give me!"
Because I was a girl, I always had endless chores to do, while my two older brothers could do nothing and go to school every day. My brothers would each get a new set of clothes for the New Year, but I had never worn new clothes in my entire life!
