It’s spring again.
It was time to post the Yichun post in Beijing. Someone in the East Palace had already prepared all the items, but no one was interested.
Ever since Shang Chong, Song Lan'an and others went to Suhe, the two palaces of Shang and Song Dynasty were looked down upon. Even when Song Wan was in the palace, she could occasionally hear filthy words spread to her from outside.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Ji Rong once suggested punishing those people, but was stopped by Song Wan.
She couldn't bear to criticize those people who said this because they didn't have a deep vision, and it was precisely because those people had Dongning in mind that they had such passion.
Ji Rong looked at Song Wan, but he didn't say that the third son of the Su family scolded him the most, and Mrs. Su taught her son in the street and had the housekeeper beat him until his skin was torn to pieces, but they didn't stop him from finding Song Fu the next day.
Nowadays, the doors of the Shang and Song Dynasties are closed tightly every day, and they dare not open them at all.
Although the families of other officials also suffered some abuse, they were not as miserable as the Shang and Song families.
Ji Rong did not dare to tell Song Wan these things. Just because there had been no news from Su Heji for a long time, both the front and the harem were worried, and he had no intention of causing trouble to everyone.
"Cheng Hui, the eldest lady of the Song Dynasty wants to see you."
Heng Zhi entered the room to report, and Song Wan stood up to greet him.
Ming Xiang held a holding box in his hand and smiled softly when he saw Song Wan.
"Why are you here today, sister-in-law? But what's going on in the house?"
With a long sigh, Mingxiang opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. After thinking for a while, he said, "There is something, but it's nothing serious."
After inviting Mingxiang to sit down, the aunt and sister-in-law started talking.
"You have always been smart. Even if I didn't tell you, you should know what the outside world thinks of the house now."
Song Wan nodded, his eyes showing sadness.
Her father valued his reputation above all else, and he would probably be furious if he heard people cursing him like this.
"Everyone in the mansion is staying behind closed doors. They are afraid of doing something that will cause dissatisfaction among the people. The mansion has not gone out to buy things for a few days. It is really afraid of provoking the wrath of heaven and people."
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
Ming Xiang shook his head, his big eyes full of helplessness: "I don't mean to say this. What I want to say is that my mother insists on getting Song Yao engaged at this moment. There has been trouble in the house for a long time, and my father is not here. I... …”
Saying this, Song Wanfang knew what Ming Xiang meant.
Although Mrs. Song is the stepmother, she is also the elder of Mingxiang. Now that her father is not in the house, she can't help but refute Mrs. Song's face. If word gets out, someone will always say that the bride is awesome, which will make the mother-in-law unable to breathe.
But where is the time to marry Song Yao now?
Her father had just surrendered to the enemy's country despite being infamous throughout the world. If he planned a wedding at this time, it would only add fuel to the fire.
"Before he left, my father told me that my mother would have full control over Song Yao's marriage. I..."
Mingxiang's eyes turned red: "I can't bear it."
How could she bear to let Song Lan'an and the Song family bear such embarrassing infamy? When Song Yao's marriage can't be finalized, why is it so urgent in these few days?
But she felt upset, but she couldn't bear to disobey Song Lan'an and Mrs. Song.
"Brother, what can you say?"
"My husband said that all the power would be left to my mother, and asked me not to interfere."
"But I feel sorry for my father. He has been cautious and cautious all his life, but now he has to be the one who sleeps with him..."
How could she be willing to do so?
How could he be willing to do so?
Mingxiang pursed her lips and held back the tears in her eyes: "Wan'er, I'm not afraid of people in the world scolding me. I'm not even afraid of people in the world scolding Song Fuqi, just because I know what kind of person my husband is. But my father is different. People in this world can not understand their father, and we as children can also not understand him, but she is different."
"Husband and wife are one, and what she says and does is the same as her father. How could she, and how dare she?"
What's the difference between her actions and putting Song Lan'an on the fire?
Mingxiang wiped his tears, feeling relieved after being angry.
"I don't know how to deal with this matter, so I thought about going to the palace to ask you and your aunt, but Eunuch Changping said that my aunt has been worried about Suhe these days and has not slept well at night. Now that I have a break at noon, I will come to find your support. A trick."
"Let her be."
Song Wan smiled faintly: "She doesn't understand her father, but he understands her. Whatever she can do, my father may have thought of it a hundred steps away."
"Since my father had something to say before leaving, my sister-in-law will just go ahead and do it."
"The father of Suhe's party must have an explanation for his brother. Both father and brother said that it would be whatever she wished, so the sister-in-law fulfilled her wish."
Mingxiang said: "If my father comes back and is reviled by thousands of people..."
"After a hundred steps, my father will definitely have a plan, sister-in-law, don't worry."
After some explanations from Song Wan, Ming Xiang finally relaxed his mind. She held Song Wan's hand and murmured, "I'm afraid."
Ever since his father came to Suhe, Song Fu's reaction was very unusual. He would often stand outside his father's study for a long time, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
She knew in her heart that her father must have told him something before he left, but every time she looked at Song Fu's appearance, she didn't know how to comfort him.
Mingxiang was worried and scared, but she knew she shouldn't and couldn't ask.
Song Wan patted Ming Xiang's hand and said softly: "Don't be afraid. Mr. Shang and his father are here in Suhe, and my brother is here in the house. We don't have to be afraid of anything."
"I understand."
Patting Mingxiang, Song Wan smiled and said, "Which family did mother choose for Yao'er to make her so anxious?"
"Does Wan'er know about the Qi family after Li Guogong?"
Song Wan blinked: "The Qi family married a young lady from the royal palace of Zhongjing County?"
"Exactly."
"My mother chose Qi Su Lun, the fifth grandson of Qi Mansion, for Song Yao."
"Since Wan'er knows, he should also know what his family is like."
Song Wan frowned slightly: "Although the Qi family is from a noble family, it has not produced a good son for many generations. Now it is only an empty shell and it will be dead long ago."
"and……"
Song Wan paused slightly: "I still have some connections with the eldest daughter-in-law of Qi Mansion."
"In the past, we had met several times when we were still in the boudoir. Earlier in Chengyang Marquis Mansion, I had arranged a marriage arrangement for the second master of the manor. This time, the Qi Mansion sent an invitation, but I rejected it."
Mingxiang's eyes widened: "This...could it be that the Qi Mansion has kept this matter in mind and has some evil intentions?"
Song Wan shook his head: "Probably not. There are too many families in the two houses who don't like each other. It would be unbelievable if he would hold a grudge to marry his sister back to the house because of such a trivial matter."
"Wan'er is right."
Ming Xiang said: "The Chengyang Marquis Mansion would not even consider this family, but my mother is rushing to get married. I don't know why she wants it. And if the Qi Mansion can respond at this time, it shows that it is not a prudent person." of."
"I do know why."
Mrs. Song, Song Wan, knew her fairly well. She didn't have any intention of harming others, but she never knew what foresight meant.
She always only looked at the place one or two inches in front of her toes, so she chose the Qi Mansion. Perhaps she agreed because she only heard about Li Guogong, and because he was a direct descendant so that Song Yao would not be overpowered by Song Yao.
"She has always preferred Song Yao. She probably didn't want Song Yao to be unnecessarily short in front of Song Nian in the future, or maybe she had no choice because of Song Yao's troubles, so she made a hasty decision."
"She doesn't know the situation of the Qi family, but she still insists on going her own way. It can be seen that she only wants to be a high-ranking person."
But now that the Song family had a bad reputation, and she was eager to get married, she had no choice but to choose this high-achieving, low-achieving family.
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law sighed together, not knowing for a moment who to sigh for.
"That's the case, then I won't stop my mother anymore, and let her decide on Yao'er's marriage."
Song Wan nodded helplessly.
Both Mrs. Song and Song Yao are the kind of people who jump on the cliff more and more. If you let go, you can't believe that she will become timid.
But once they start to block it, something stupid will happen.
Song Wan sighed: "Just follow her. Life and death are determined by fate. It's hard to explain."
