After sending Second Young Mistress away, Wei Mengying asked Song Yixiao to stay here and told her something.
Song Yixiao frowned a little and thought Wei Mengying would continue to warn her. But unexpectedly, Wei Mengying took out a visiting card and asked, “Do you know why it’s sent here?”
“What?” Song Yixiao took it in bewilderment and had a look at it. Then she was also shocked, “They ask to see you? Why?”
There were two signatures on the card, which were Madam Huang, the wife of Advisor to the Crown Prince, and Madam Lu of Song Family. Song Yixiao couldn’t remember Madam Huang. But she must know Madam Lu who was present wife of her father, Song Yuan, as well as her stepmother!
Wei Mengying found her daughter’s shock wasn’t assumed. She also began to look confused, “How can I know that? I never contact with them! In my opinion, there’s no reason for them to visit me. Will they come for you?”
Then she sneered, “In t
“Why are you here?” Dowager Consort of Hengshan frowned after hearing her words and then questioned her.Second Young Mistress took it for granted that her husband Lu Guanqun should be the heir of the prince since she married to him. But the Dowager Consort supported Lu Guanlun. When she said she had a plan, the Dowager Consort really doubted her intention.Second Young Mistress spat in her heart. But she looked enthusiastic and said, “I thought I would hear Miss Song’s good news when I came here so that I could congratulate Stepmother and Miss Song first! Then I heard something bad happened. So I want to help you solve your problem!”The Dowager Consort touched the golden bracelet on her wrist and asked casually, “Oh? How will you help me?”“Sister Roumei is angry about two things. One is that Miss Song has already attracted Xubai! We didn’t know it, either. Otherwise we wouldn’t recommend her to Sister Roumei or let her attend th
While the Dowager Consort and the Second Young Mistress were paving the way for their preferred candidate for the next prince, Wei Mengying couldn’t have time to fight for her son. The current mother-in-law and wife of her ex-husband came for her now. To be honest, such an embarrassing thing was rarely seen.However, the Lu Family was somewhat closely related to the Crown Prince. Due to his long-lasting illness, Emperor Xianjia loved the Crown Prince very much. The last thing he wanted to see was that the officials thought little of the Crown Prince. Even Wei Mengying was a princess consort, she must hold back the disgruntlement and braced up to receive these two honorable guests.“The Dowager Consort always dislikes me. Now Madam Huang has come here for me with Madam Lu. Regardless, they should go to meet the Dowager Consort first and probably speak ill of me by then.” Wei Mengying sent her servants to ask about but nothing was harvested. Even though she w
Madam Huang and Madam Lu left with a gloomy face.Just after their carriage was away from the prince’s mansion, they two couldn’t help crying on each other’s shoulders, “I can’t believe that the Song Family have maltreated their eldest legitimate daughter to that degree! Even though she is fine now, she has been forced by her birth father like that! How can the grudge be settled?”They decided to pay the visit as they thought Song Yixiao might harbor bitter resentment for being expelled out of the Song Family.However, after they were here, they realized that it might be a good thing if the Song Family just ignored her after expelling her.Most awfully, the Song Family took her back once!And they didn’t do that for her own good but to desire to disable her and then marry her to the Liu Family right after Madam Liu was drowned to death due to Song Yixiao!If they were Song Yixiao, they couldn’t be sure not
The Crown Princess didn’t believe in Madam Huang’s report but as Lu Yicheng was highly favored by the Crown Prince and Madam Huang was her relative, she didn’t want to disgrace Madam Huang without any evidence.After seeing Madam Huang off, the Crown Princess thought for a while before she reported to the Empress Dowager, “It happens that Dowager Consort of Hengshan can’t meet any guest today. Madam Huang thinks that since Miss Song is going to set off from the Song Family, the Dowager Consort must show her attitude on her own so that everyone will be convinced. Therefore, it is better to tell the Dowager Consort face to face!”After all, “Prince of Hengshan has raised Miss Song for several years. If she tells such a matter to Miss Song’s birth mother, Princess Consort Wei instead of Dowager Consort or Prince of Hengshan first, it will be disrespect for them. If Prince of Hengshan harbors grudge against Miss Song and Wei Mengying as a result, it will be rat
Song Yixiao felt awkward and quickly blushed. Then she looked down and tightened her sleeves, appearing like a bashful girl.After a while, she raised her head again. As expected, Yuan Xue’e and the others, including Jinxun, had left sensibly while Jian Xubai had walked to the position three steps away from her. He also stopped being loving and then said smilingly, “You respond quite fast!”“Thank you!” Song Yixiao felt perturbed and wondered whether he was asking for the jade pendant back. Then she calmed herself down and asked, “May I know why you want to meet me?”“I am free today. Ramble with me around the garden in the marquis’s mansion then.” Jian Xubai said with his hands put behind his back, “After all, I have made a sincere pledge to you that I would marry you. Although the imperial decree of granting the marriage is not issued, I must meet you and spend time with you anyway so as to make my words trustworthy, right?”Song
Since her mother was not feeling well, she must go back immediately!Song Yixiao had no time to meet Yuan Xue’e so she asked Jian Xubai to tell Yuan Xue’e that she was leaving before hurried back to Prince of Hengshan’s mansion by carriage with Jinxun.When they arrived back the prince’s mansion in fear, they heard the goods news—Wei Mengying was pregnant again!It was because she was tired from pregnancy that she passed out.Song Yixiao was relieved and collected her clothes. The minute that she walked through the moon gate, she heard Prince of Hengshan saying in a soft and loving voice from the half-opened window, “Mengying, you must be more than careful about your health! We have daughters-in-law and our daughters have grown up. You can just assign the household affairs to them and take good care of yourself!”“I understand but several of our children are old enough to get married. It is a big deal!” Wei Mengying gr
“You?” Song Yixiao couldn’t help feeling shocked, “Is this done by you?”She couldn’t believe it. Wei Chan looked lively, cheerful and simple-minded but she acted rather properly. Two days ago, when Wei Chan came to show her the banquet, Song Yixiao saw clearly that she sat down carefully and kept the flowers away from the embroidery.Moreover, only Ms. Zhao had the key to the room where the embroidery frame was placed. Yet, how could she disobey her own mistress’s order because of a lady who sojourned here?“I didn’t stain it but it is caused by me accidentally!” Wei Chan started to tell the ins and outs of the matter sobbingly, “Two hours ago, Sixth Young Lady suddenly came over! As she heard that you had gone out, she was going to leave. However, when she got up, she saw the embroidered patterns on my collars and then complimented me. Then I... I told her the patterns were embroidered by you!”It was nothing at first but it sudd
Hearing that, Madam Kong looked at her meaningfully and said, “It’s sister-in-law of my maiden family.”Noticing that Song Yixiao looked confused, she said, “My sister-in-law’s surname is also Jian. Before she got married, she was also the third young lady of the Jian Family. Her name is Yimian. Actually, she will be your sister-in-law too. She is the elder half-sister of Xubai and her birth mother is the original wife of Uncle Jian, Madam Wen!”However, after Jinguo Grand Princess fell for Jian Likuang, Madam Wen had to be abandoned and Jian Yimian, the legitimate daughter turned into a poor thing from a well-loved lady.Although Jinguo Grand Princess didn’t make it harsh on her, she didn’t treat this daughter nicely. Therefore, when Jian Yimian turned 16 years old, her marriage was left unattended because her grandmother was dead, her stepmother didn’t love her and her birth mother was sent back to the maiden family.In the end,
