Chapter 170 This is also good
In this world, it is difficult for a girl from a poor family to be loyal to her husband, but most girls from wealthy families are faithful to their husband, because the former want to survive and the latter want fame.
Xi Qingtong grew up in the capital. She didn't understand folk customs and naturally thought that Qingwu was like an ordinary girl from aristocratic family and would always be more devoted to her first husband.
Speaking of Song Yunhe, Xi Qingtong actually felt that Song Yunhe was not as kind to her as before, and he disliked her spending too much. Perhaps he also hoped that Xi Qingwu would be exchanged back.
"What do you think of what I said? You all know Xi Qingwu's personality. She didn't grow up in the Xi family like me. She won't be on the same page with the Xi family."
"Besides, isn't she afraid? Now she and the prince are deeply in love, but she lied to the prince. She is not his real concubine. Isn't the prince fond of her because she is using my name? If the prince knew that she was just a girl who grew up in the countryside, would he still like her?"
Xi Qingtong prided herself on her beauty and talent, and indeed she was. Before she got married, she was very popular among the noble ladies in the capital, even the daughter of a duke was overshadowed by her.
She was good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was also very proficient in dance etiquette. She knew everything that a noble lady from an aristocratic family needed to learn.
Therefore, Xi Qingtong naturally thought that Xiao Ji had her reasons for liking Qing Wu. Who would not like a girl with both talent and beauty like her?
Madam Zheng and Xi Qingbai were persuaded. They also felt that Xiao Ji liked Qingwu because of Xi Qingtong. If they told Xiao Ji that his current wife was actually a fake noble lady who was born in the countryside and had not received much education, he would certainly find it difficult to accept it.
"But Song Yunhe... I still need to convince him."
Madam Zheng relaxed, "You must convince Song Yunhe before you can give it a try. And if you want to return it, you will have to imitate Qingwu. She has survived these three months of hardship, so she will definitely not be exactly like you."
If Mrs. Zheng had firmly supported every decision made by Xi Qingtong before, now she has begun to hesitate and has more things to consider.
Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. As people's status changes, everything changes quietly.
But Xi Qingtong can no longer care about these things. If she doesn't change and allows things to continue to develop, her status in the hearts of her mother and elder brother will only become lower and lower. She can only look up to the sister who grew up in the countryside.
"It's okay. I know what Qingwu is like. She farms in the palace, and I can do the same!"
Xi Qingtong, who had been tortured by Shanshan for a long time, was actually somewhat relieved at this moment. Fortunately, she endured the nausea and helped Madam Xu do a lot of things and learned some basic things. As long as she planted flowers and plants in the palace in the future, wouldn't she be the same as Qingwu?
"I'll go back and convince Song Yunhe, he'll definitely agree!"
Seeing Xi Qingtong's expression, the mother and son looked at each other and finally nodded slowly.
Madam Zheng took a deep breath, looked at her daughter, and said in a deep voice, "In that case, you can go ahead and give it a try. But remember, if Song Yunhe shows any reluctance, then this matter will be abandoned. A rabbit will bite when it is anxious."
Xi Qingbai also came over and warned: "Sister, this matter is of great importance. You must not act rashly. You should sound out the situation first..."
"I can save myself that." Xi Qingtong interrupted his brother impatiently, his eyes gleaming with determination. "I have my own way of convincing Song Yunhe."
She tidied her messy hair and a smile returned to her face.
If she becomes more arrogant, Song Yunhe will definitely lose his patience, but in a few days, he will agree.
As for Xiao Ji... Actually everyone thought of him, but no one mentioned him. The desires in their hearts prevailed. They wanted to fool Xiao Ji, so they subconsciously thought that Xiao Ji would not find out.
If there is a first time, there will be a second time. It worked last time, why not this time?
Xi Qingbai even thought darkly: Some men would not say anything even if they found out, and would help to keep it secret. After all, it is really exciting for twin sisters to swap positions.
In Xi Qingtong's plan, she had to act up for a few days so that Song Yunhe would be completely fed up with her. But who would have thought that the opportunity was right in front of her - Song Yunhe was sick.
"Madam, please go back quickly. My husband caught a cold in the rain yesterday."
Zhegui also knew the inside story. He felt sorry for his master and didn't want to see Song Yunhe left unattended during his illness, so he went to the Xi family to invite him.
If it was in the morning, no, even before the imperial edict was delivered to the Xi family, if Zhegui came to invite, Xi Qingtong might have backed down on this ledge, but after knowing that Qingwu had become the prince's principal wife, Xi Qingtong could no longer bear it.
How can a concubine and a principal wife be compared?
A royal concubine is still a concubine, but the main wife is different. Only the main wife is worthy of her.
So Xi Qingtong naturally looked at Zhe Gui with contempt, chuckled, and said disdainfully: "If you are sick, you go to the doctor, why do you come to me?"
Zhe Gui stood outside the Xi family's gate, watching the vermilion lacquer door slowly close. She felt a tightness in her chest. No wonder her husband wouldn't let her invite him back. If she invited a wife like this back, he would probably get even sicker.
He was close to Song Yunhe, and the fact of the sister exchange could not be hidden from him. At first, he did not understand why her husband wanted to change. In his opinion, Xi Qingtong was indeed a goddess-like figure, but the Song family could not afford a goddess, so he felt that the original wife was very suitable.
However, all of this was her husband's own fault. Zhe Gui even felt ashamed for speaking up for Song Yunhe. After all, it was her husband who had wronged his previous wife first.
But it was impossible to ask Zhegui to speak for Xi Qingtong. Recalling Xi Qingtong's expression just now, Zhegui endured the humiliation and returned to the Song family.
When he returned to the Song residence, Song Yunhe was leaning against the head of the bed, being helped by the old housekeeper to drink medicine. Although Zhe Gui didn't say what he was going to do, Song Yunhe had already guessed it.
Seeing him coming back alone, Song Yunhe couldn't help but ask, "What did she say?"
Zhe Gui fell to his knees with a plop, his voice choked with sobs: "My dear, I am useless... Please don't return my wife."
Seeing this, Song Yunhe's already pale face froze again. After a moment, he said, "What did she say? Tell me everything."
He knew Zhegui well, and wouldn't easily show such a state of mind. She must have said something unpleasant.
But Song Yunhe still underestimated the power of those words. Zhe Gui repeated Xi Qingtong's words word for word, even imitating her contemptuous sneer perfectly.
After he finished speaking, the room fell into dead silence.
After a long moment, Song Yunhe suddenly chuckled, "Alright." He raised his hand and drank the remaining medicine in one gulp, frowning bitterly, "This... is alright."
She is ruthless, so he doesn't have to be righteous.
The weather in summer is always cloudy and sunny. It suddenly started to rain outside the window, and the crackling sound was quite noisy. In sharp contrast, Song Yunhe's face showed a sense of relief and calmness.
