In fact, Song Yixiao was not the only one who was considering this issue. In the Marquis Boling’s mansion, after sitting with his wife Jiang Muting for a while after noon, Yuan Xuepei excused himself to help Jian Xubai with some official business and then went to the study alone.
After arriving at the study, he ordered the study attendant to retreat after grinding the ink. He called Yuan Zhan to come to his study and asked, “How are things going?”
“Everything is ready.” Yuan Zhan said, “It’s just that there are many people in the imperial capital. I think it’s already the fifth lunar month so we might wait a little longer. When we go to Cuihua Mountain for summer vacation, the mountain is large and less crowded, so it’s convenient to do it instead.”
Yuan Xuepei nodded and said, “I’ve waited a whole year, I can wait a little longer. However, it is imperative that we do it perfectly. After all, she is Song Yixiao’s mother, and I don’t want
Three days later, after Song Yixiao sent her husband off to court, she specially summoned the people serving Jian Qingyue to come and give her instruction. Then she entrusted Aunt Yun to take good care of her daughter before she led the maids to board the carriage and departed.When the carriage entered the Qiu Family’s mansion, Gu Tongxu personally greeted her in the courtyard where she got off. The two greeted enthusiastically, and then they went to the back hall together to greet Madam Jiang.Madam Jiang was very happy to see Song Yixiao and asked about Jian Qingyue. Song Yixiao apologized, “I was afraid that she is ignorant and would annoy others, so I didn’t bring her with me. Aunt, thank you for your concern.”In fact, because Jian Qingyue was too young, she was afraid that a crowded place would be bad for her.Madam Jiang also knew it, so she asked only to show her concern. But hearing this, she scolded her, “What doe
When Song Yixiao heard about this, she naturally hurriedly summoned Aunt Yun to go to Princess Changxing’s mansion with the messenger. Then she hurriedly changed her clothes and also rushed over.When she arrived, Grand Princess Jinguo, Commandery Princess of Qingjiang and Lady of Earl Shouchun were already there, all three with sullen faces!“Has Aunt Yun gone in?” Song Yixiao was surprised to see this, and after saluting, she asked in a soft voice.“Aunt Yun has already gone in, but, according to the judgment of the imperial physician, I’m afraid...” Grand Princess Jinguo was clearly in a very bad mood and did not answer. Commandery Princess Qingjiang and Lady of Earl Shouchun looked at each other and said with a sigh, “Let’s wait. Maybe there will be good news.”Song Yixiao looked at the scene and did not dare to say more. She went to the seat beside Lady of Earl Shouchun and waited together.Aunt Yun had not
Song Yixiao was prepared to be the scapegoat for Wei Mengying, and then she went to the drawing room to greet Song Yuan, “Father, why are you free to come today?”To her surprise, Song Yuan did not scowl or speak coldly when he saw her, but said gently, “I heard that Qingyue is ill? Is it serious?”“Thanks for your concern. The fever has gone down yesterday, and Aunt Yun says that as long as she recuperates for two more days, she will be fine.” Song Yixiao had never seen her own father treat her with kindness since Wei Mengying had remarried, so instead of feeling flattered, she was wary, wondering what her father was up to.When Song Yuan saw that she had no intention of bringing Jian Qingyue over, let alone inviting him in to see his granddaughter, his eyes showed disappointment. But he also knew that the gap between he and his daughter was too wide to be bridged with just a few words.So he didn’t mention it, but just sai
Concubine Liu was sent away, and Yijiao was brought back to Madam Lu’s side. Although Zhang Cuiniang and the others didn’t know what had happened, they were all happy for Madam Lu.But Zhang Cuiniang found that Madam Lu didn’t look good.She asked in private, “Madam, the two things that you always care for have been settled down by Master. Why do you still look upset?”“Maybe because it’s been too hot these days.” Hearing this, Madam Lu forced a smile to hide it.Zhang Cuiniang watched her grow up. How could she not know that she was not saying what she meant?With great efforts, she finally made Madam Lu speak the truth. But she didn’t know how to react to the answer, “Yesterday my husband slept in my room and talked in his sleep all night.”After saying this, Madam Lu showed a look of both anger and sorrow, and said with sobs, “He tossed and turned...calling the name of Eldest Young Lady’s birth m
No one was expecting this. Everyone was looking at each other. And they were all frozen on spot except Song Yibao!“Yibao greets my aunt!” Song Yibao, who was five years old and didn’t know the inside story, estimated Wei Mengying’s age, then broke down from her father’s arms and made a plausible bow according to the rules Madam Lu had taught her, and smiled sweetly at Song Yixiao, “Big sister!”Song Yixiao glanced at Song Yuan’s face. His look was complicated, and his eyes looking down at his second daughter were almost on flames!She secretly sighed, beckoned Song Yibao to come to her, reached out to hold her, and said lightly to Wei Mengying, “Mother, you are familiar with the path, so I will not see you off. Take care!”Wei Mengying looked at Song Yuan with HYPERLINK "https://context.reverso.net/translation/english-chinese/a+vague+smile" a vague smile and then glanced at Song Yibao. However, Wei Mengying had a twinkl
Song Yixiao made up her mind to let it go. Madam Lu went out of the door and quietly returned to her own residence, then she asked Zhang Cuiniang, “Did someone look for me just now?”“Master came here just now and I gave him the runaround.” Zhang Cuiniang said, “Master should not suspect.”After answering, Zhang Cuiniang couldn’t help persuading her again, “No matter whether that Princess Consort of Wei was forced to remarry or not, she could marry into the prince’s mansion in a proper manner and was deeply favored by Prince of Hengshan after she married into the Song Family for ten years and gave birth to Eldest Young Lady, which shows her cunning. Madam, you have always been kind and generous, how could you be a match for someone like her? Why do you need to go to her? After all, she only occasionally met and talked with Master, what can happen in broad daylight?”Like Song Yixiao, Zhang Cuiniang did not support Madam Lu’s direct confr
“Guzhen?” Wei Mengying knew it was not good, and at that moment, she stopped looking for Wei Chan and Lu Chai’er. She settled her mind, showed a pitiable face, and called out Song Yuan’s name, “Why are you here?”“Of course I am waiting for you.” Song Yuan walked up to her and looked down at her with his condescension. After a long while, until Wei Mengying’s pitiable look had begun to stiffen, he faintly said, “Waiting...to send you to hell!”Feeling the undisguised murderous intent in his eyes, Wei Mengying didn’t have to pretend to be scared and her face had already turned pale. She smiled reluctantly, “Guzhen! Don’t be ridiculous. I’m all wet. Do you have any clothes in that wooden hut behind you? If you do, could you lend me some to change?”While she was speaking, she seemed not to bear the freezing wind and crossed her arms. Her wet dress was tightly attached to her skin, making her look slim and curvy.But when Song
Song Yuan said with an expressionless face, “You don’t need to know this!”“You’re not the only one who wants to kill me?” How resourceful was Wei Mengying’s mind.At this moment, it was a matter of life and death. How could she not do her best? As soon as she heard it, she figured out the truth. She smiled sadly and said, “Right. In all these years, I have committed too many sins to consolidate my position. Two days ago, Yixiao was even angry with me. She asked me if I was afraid of retribution for doing so many heartless things. What I didn’t expect was that you would be the one to do it! It seems that the person in the dark really hates me!”“No wonder even Yixiao can’t stand you.” Song Yuan stared at her and snorted, “Even at this point, you still don’t forget to imply my place in your heart. But if you really had me in your heart, how could you…”He began to sound a little excited, but then suddenly felt disinterested.
