Gu Shao didn’t believe Song Yixiao, and Song Yixiao actually didn’t believe him, either, even though Song Yixiao and Gu Tongxu talked happily with each other that day and even gave her an invitation sent by Grand Princess Jinguo two days ago when they were happiest.
The invitation was about Nie Wuying’s birthday.
Nie Wuying’s origin was compromising, and she didn’t like to be high-profile and even a little self-abased. Therefore, her birthday was only celebrated by her family in previous years.
This year, it was different. She had been engaged to Prince of Su. Even if Prince of Su might not be resident in the imperial capital, she still needed to manage her connections. Therefore, Grand Princess Jinguo personally asked for a lively and grand birthday celebration for her youngest daughter.
Given that Nie Wuying had only a few friends, Grand Princess Jinguo gave some invitations that still needed to be filled to her daughters-
Song Yixiao acted unperturbed by the news that Gu Tongxu had gone to live in Song Family’s mansion.In fact, she had nothing to be excited with. While Liu Zhijin stilled lived in the Song Family’s mansion! How could she be angry with such a family?So she only smiled lightly and said, “Yibao, Yijiao and Yiyao are all still young, and my grandmother is lonely, so it would be nice to bring Miss Gu over.”Jiang Muting naturally did not believe this argument and said, “I guess Elder Lady Pang wanted to find out what she had talked with you when she visited you before, right? Since Miss Gu is staying with the Song Family, she is obviously close to them, so why did she come to you first?”Song Yixiao said carelessly, “She took a visiting card from me, an invitation for Wuying’s birthyday next month.”“I see!” Jiang Muting heard this and immediately became indignant, saying, “Although Prime Minister Gu and your materna
The current situations of the Ji Family and the Su Family were not much to choose between the two, and neither was any better than the other.In this situation, Ji Zifu was still worried about Su Shaoling not thinking highly of him, which meant that he still cared a lot about his wife.Song Yixiao thought she understood her cousin’s thoughts and comforted him with kind words, and even Jian Xubai said, “Why should you be so worried? As the saying goes, there are no weak people under the reputation, and since Shaoling is recognized as a virtuous and courteous woman by all the nobles in the imperial capital, how could she despise her husband? Moreover, you are handsome and straightforward and a good man who is rarely seen, but the world is ignorant and my cousin does not care to defend himself, which is why people misunderstand you. Time reveals a person’s heart. In the future, when Shaoling has spent more time with you, she will naturally understand yo
Jiang Muting never thought that she would push her friend into a trap by only defending her and ignoring a stranger, so her face turned pale with anxiety, “Then what should we do now? Shanyao, you are always smart. You must have a solution, right?”“The good thing is that Wuying’s birthday banquet was just finished yesterday.” Song Yixiao narrowed her eyes slightly and said calmly, “Miss Gu is new to the imperial capital and is not familiar with everyone. Although I gave her the visiting card, I was unable to attend due to my pregnancy and no one introduced her. Therefore, it is reasonable that she can’t assimilate into us for the time being. As long as someone continues to invite her, even if it goes to the Empress Dowager, they can’t say we’re crowding her out!”“Then I’ll give her the invitation when I get back!” Jiang Muting hurriedly said, “And I’ll talk to Yinlian and the others, about inviting her one by one. We’ll all imply towards the public
Song Yixiao’s words were proved to be true.A few days later, the Qiu Family’s only heir, Qiu Zhiyin, died in his room!The cause of his death was poisoning.Because Qiu Zhiyin didn’t go out recently, he had limited access to people in Qiu Family’s mansion. Therefore, Jingzhao Municipality quickly identified the murderer, Liu Wu, daughter of Liu Zhong, an old servant of the Liu Family.Liu Wu didn’t stay close to serve Qiu Zhiyin. The reason she was able to poison him was that she had known the siblings of Liu Family very well when she was a slave in Liu Family’s mansion as a child. Later, after Liu Zhong had gained his credit, his family was released from slavery and moved out of Liu Family’s mansion, but they still worked for the Liu Family.When the Liu Family suffered the misfortune, they were no longer slaves of the Liu Family, so they were not implicated too much.Soon afterwards, Qiu Zhiyin c
Although being cheated by Gu Shao, Song Yixiao was not angry. After all, Qiu Zhiyin’s death had lessened one hidden danger for her.Gu Shao did not want to have contradictions with Duke of Yan’s mansion, and Song Yixiao did not want to offend him.Although the Gu Family of Hongzhou revealed the image of no prospective successor, Gu Shao was not dead yet.After she removed herself from the matter, she didn’t care anymore. The day after Xie Yiren and her husband came to give New Year’s greetings, it was the birth anniversary of Empress Su.In previous years, this day was a simple family feast, but this year Emperor Xianjia had said that he must hold a grand feast.He did this to do the credit to empress. So that after the empress’s own son was adopted, everyone would not underestimate the master of the Intermediate Palace.In the grand Qianqiu Festival, Song Yixiao could only wait for her husband to return to tell her something. She was going to give birth next month, and at this moment,
The daughter gave birth to a baby, so the mother must come to visit.It was just a little awkward for the birth mother and stepmother to meet each other. However, in Song Yixiao’s opinion, only Madam Lu was embarrassed, and Wei Mengying was completely at ease. Wei Mengying asked after Madam Lu’s three children, “I heard that the twins were one year old a few days ago? The second young lady is too young, and you must be very busy. But children grow up fast, so it will be better when they are older.”Compared with Wei Mengying, Madam Lu was an honest person.She replied, “I’m fine. my mother-in-law understands and sympathizes with me so she raises Yijiao herself. Yibao is already four years old and the maids can take care of her, so she doesn’t need my constant attention. I am not very busy to take care of Yiyao.”“Although Yijiao is almost two years old, she doesn’t know how to speak yet?” Wei Mengying immediately showed an o
Song Yixiao looked at her for a long time before saying word by word,”It is impossible.”Seeing Wei Mengying’s face changed, as if she was about to threaten again, Song Yixiao already raised her hand and pointed to the door, “Do you want to threaten me with death? You can go ahead. I want to see if you dare to give up the honor of being the princess consort now.”“How would I want to die with you?” Wei Mengying stopped sobbing, she raised her eyebrow and said unhappily, “But this matter you only need to slightly hint with Gu Shao. Gu Shao will help Duke of Yan’s mansion. She is his granddaughter, even if a concubine’s daughter, she is not worried about getting married. I don’t hope such a small help would let you and I have conflict.”She also knew that there was already a gap between them, so she spoke of her children, “Guanyun and their siblings will grow up in the future, if they know that the two of us do not get along well, won’t th
Jian Xubai returned in the evening and heard that her daughter’s name had been given by the Empress Dowager. And she also sent a decree, which let Jian Xubai dumbfounding. He said, “Mother must have done it on purpose. She clearly knew when we named the child before.”He added, “Yesterday Mother did not say anything about the name. I thought she was too happy to forget it. It turns out she had her own plans.”The intention, naturally, was to let the Empress Dowager come up with the baby’s name.But both Grand Princess Jinguo and the Empress Dowager were well-intentioned. Even though the couple could not name their first child, they said a few complain words and let it go.Jian Xubai said to his wife, “I said that we should celebrate your birthday. You said it was not necessary. As a result, I did comply with you, but God in the end gave us a big gift.”He refereed that Song Yixiao giving birth to a daughter on h
