There was not only one mother like Wei Mengying who hoped her daughter to strive to make progress. Now, in the Cui Family's house, Cui Jianlian's mother, Madam Cheng, was complaining to her husband, Cui Ziyu, "I didn't mean to speak ill of our nephew, but how can Guanlun do that? Instead of siding with his cousin who grows up with him, he chose to speak for the drag of his stepmother! How can he not consider why Jianlian keeps visiting the prince's residence regardless of the rumors?"
"So isn't it nice that Jianlian comes to his sense due to this?" Cui Ziyu said peacefully, "The crown prince has had any side concubine by far. Prince of Liang and Jianlian are about the same age. These two young men are both the blood children of the n.o.ble consort. Her Highness is fond of Jianlian. As long as our daughter stops chasing Guanlun, she will surely pave the way for her if we give her a hint."
He had thought of that before, "Guanlun is our nephew but considering the current situation in the residence of Prince of Hengshan, we cannot be sure of who will be the heir apparent. In our family, Jianlian is the most beautiful one among her generation, who is the most favored by the n.o.ble consort. Why doesn't she give up the opportunity of marrying an imperial prince instead of getting herself involved in the mess of Prince of Hengshan?"
Madam Cheng wanted to complain about Lu Guanlun's doings to her husband but she never expected that her husband would hold such an intention. She said in shock and worry, "The n.o.ble consort is fond of Jianlian indeed, but Jianlian is a spoiled child since childhood. I'm afraid that she will be not obedient and sensible if she becomes a legal wife of the imperial member? Moreover, you know, she likes Guanlun. If she knows about our intention, will she disobey?"
"It will be a few years before she can get married. Just teach her to be obedient and sensible from now on." Cui Ziyu didn't mind her concern at all, "Even the n.o.ble consort is from our family. Why can't we make a woman qualified to be the legal wife of an imperial member?"
As to Cui Jianlian's favorable impression on Lu Guanlun, Cui Ziyu sneered, "Send someone to tell the maid who accompanies the princess consort into Prince of Hengshan to handle Song Yixiao some day!"
"And try to remind Guanlun that it is Jianlian's idea!"
Madam Cheng said in surprise, "Who would hurl mud at his own daughter like this?"
"You know nothing!" Cui Ziyu said with disdain, "Guanlun can't tolerate any mistake! This time, he even flies into a rage because Jianlian commits an attempted murder against Song Yixiao. If he is made to believe that Jianlian remains impenitent and becomes further intensified after being sent back home, how can he not make a clean break with Jianlian? By then, only with some tricks, Jianlian will drop the idea of being with Guanlun for sure!"
Madam Cheng turned delighted from anger, "You are so thoughtful!"
"Get your hands on it as soon as possible. This time, it is not only Jianlian but also Madam Jin who suffers loss for the matter of Song Yixiao. Madam Jin suffers even more. As a legitimate daughter-in-law, she is punished to introspect herself in the house of the suburbs for one year. How can she stand the anger? Maybe she will do something against Song Yixiao before departure. If this great opportunity to make Guanlun misunderstand Jianlian is lost, Guanlun will be soft-hearted as time goes by. In this case, why will Jianlian consider the other man to be her husband with a silver lining?
Pitifully, Madam Cheng did as told the next day, but her arrangement was still too late when it arrived at Prince of Hengshan. The Song Family sent someone to take Song Yixiao back!
The reason was that Song Yixiao's grandmother, Madam Pang was seriously ill in bad, who regretted her previous mistake upon thinking of what happened before and really looked forward to her granddaughter accompanying her!
"I would never believe her!" Song Yixiao felt scornful, "If she could regret the previous mistake she made to me, how could she look on coldly when I was drowned in the previous life? Now that she wants me back, she must want to do something and revive the family by taking me back because my father lives a miserable life after being dismissed."
This life, she had spent most of her effort in scheming against the Song Family. If they proposed taking her back with an excuse, she would absolutely say yes.
However, now the situation was different. Zhiqin was injured!
Song Yixiao didn't want to let go of the people who had hurt her maid. All of them!
And the ringleaders that caused the tragedy of Zhiqin were Cui Jianlian—the affinity relative of Prince of Hengshan, Yuan Xuepei—the nephew of Prince of Hengshan and Madam Jin—the legitimate daughter-in-law of Prince of Hengshan… They were all closely related to Prince of Hengshan. If she left the residence of Prince of Hengshan and revenged on them, in terms of the power of the Song Family, what chance did she have?
Hence, now Song Yixiao didn't want to go back to the Song's house.
Particularly, Wei Mengying was rather worried, "Your father is unemployed now and lives in the house of the suburbs. They don't need to attend any social engagement anymore. If Madam Pang keeps faking illness and forces you to stay there until it is time for you to get married, the consequence is unthinkable."
"Moreover, your ankle injury is not fully recovered. You can have a good rest here. However, if you go there, either your father or Madam Pang can easily do something to make your injury more severe. Worse still, you may be disabled. In that case, how can you marry a man of good birth?"
Regardless, Song Yixiao didn't want to agree on the request.
Madam Pang was her grandmother and the messenger acted like she would never meet her grandmother if she didn't go back. Wei Mengying couldn't even reject the request even if she wanted to use Song Yixiao's sprain as the excuse!
After all, people always sympathized the weak. No matter how unkind Madam Pang was, if the news that Song Yixiao didn't even visit her at her death's door, how could she not be accused of being unjust and unfilial? By then she couldn't marry someone of good birth regardless of her talent and beauty. As to her ankle sprain, both the Song Family and Prince of Hengshan could certainly afford a sedan to carry Song Yixiao to visit her grandmother.
Wei Mengying and her daughter both hated the Song Family very much and yet couldn't do anything. In the end, Wei Mengying made a decision, "I will let Ms. Bo accompany you to go back so that she can do you a favor! If the Song Family really want to detain you, I can summon you back on the grounds that I am sick too!"
Song Yixiao heard it and felt relieved. She was really worried to be forgotten by her mother after a few days! After all, in her previous life, her life was regarded as a trivial thing for her mother after they were separated for eight years!
"Ms. Bo is my mother's trusted subordinate. Since she asks her to go with me, it seems that she doesn't intend to give me up, at least now." Compared with Wei Mengying's promise that she would rescue Song Yixiao from trouble by faking illness, what made Song Yixiao a.s.sured was Ms. Bo's company.
Ms. Bo was of great importance to Wei Mengying. Song Yixiao believed that her mother would never give up her significant helper, Ms. Bo, even if she had to abandon her daughter.
Therefore, when she saw Ms. Bo get into the carriage with her, she was finally a.s.sured.
Nevertheless, after meeting her father, Song Yuan, Song Yixiao learnt that she was too negligent.
