Song Tingyue lowered her head, her feelings extremely complicated.
In the past, she had devoted herself to scheming for Pei Jin, and tonight her purpose was to destroy Pei Feng, but the old lady was unaware of this.
But tonight, even though Pei Jin was right next door, he still didn't come to save her.
Abandoned by Pei Jin and having harmed the Song family, she was filled with disappointment and anger, and dared not reveal the truth.
As the carriage moved along, the matriarch told her to try to repair her relationship with Pei Feng.
But Pei Feng wasn't stupid. The moment he woke up, all explanations were futile. Perhaps he had already realized that he had been hypocritical for so many years.
Song Tingyue closed her eyes, her heart filled with despair.
The matriarch sighed softly, looking at Song Tingyue whose face was wrapped in gauze, feeling extremely heartbroken.
This is her proudest granddaughter, now she's lame, disfigured, and has been humiliated like this by Jiang Wan.
The elder lady's eyes turned sinister, and cracks appeared on her usually kind face.
What made her even more uneasy was that Jiang Linyuan, for the first time ever, spoke up for Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan is already cunning and difficult to deal with, and with the addition of the Prime Minister's residence, she will undoubtedly become even more troublesome.
Recalling the time when the late emperor bestowed a marriage upon her, she felt a tremor in her heart.

Zhou Shi is mediocre, and Song Tingyue is seriously injured. Now, only she can rival Jiang Wan.
Perhaps I should lend her a hand.
"I heard from Ayu that the Gu family will soon regain their status as imperial merchants?"
The matriarch said in a deep voice.
"Although you come from a merchant family, imperial merchants are always more prestigious, not much less so than the Jiang family."
"Once this is done, you will come to my room every day and help me copy scriptures."
Gu Yurong's eyes lit up.
Because of her status as the daughter of a merchant, she was never valued by the matriarch after she married into the family.
Now that the other party has taken the initiative to get close to her and even revealed his intention to help her deal with Jiang Wan, how could she not be excited?
The matriarch is the pillar of the Song family, and she even has a say in the imperial court. With such a powerful backer, what is Jiang Wan?
Gu Yurong took a deep breath and smiled broadly, "Yes, Grandmother."
