Chapter 1017: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One Hundred and Thirty-nine)
If you ask whether Song Chen was afraid of death, it was obvious that she was. She was afraid that her wealth and glory would be in vain, and she was also afraid that she would not live long enough to enjoy them.
When he heard that the third prince had defected, he became frightened.
Qingli rarely saw Song Chen's panic, but she didn't want to help Song Chen. There was no servant in the room, so Cheng Ya helped this cheap mother-in-law up.
"Madam, the ground is cold, please get up quickly."
With Cheng Ya's help, Song Chen sat on the chair and asked quickly:
"Miss, are you saying that Ting'er is in the hands of the Third Prince? Why did the Third Prince rebel? Why did he capture Ting'er? Is Ting'er still alive?" Song Chenshi was shaking as she spoke, mainly out of fear. It turned out that Song Qingting was really captured, and the person who captured her was the Third Prince Zhao Lan.
She refused to do anything for Zhao Lan, and Zhao Lan would definitely be unhappy. He would be desperate, what if he thought of her?
If she went to Baiyun Temple, would she also be taken hostage? She didn't want to be reunited with her daughter in this way.
Swords and knives are merciless, and her health is not that good. If she gets injured and can't bear it, she will die!
Zhao Lan was truly terrifying! How dare he capture the family of an imperial official? This was the Prime Minister's daughter! Why would he, a prince, defect? What had he done to cost him his life?
Song Chen felt that the knife hanging around her neck was temporarily put down as Zhao Lan left.
But, is her daughter dead?
Qingli rarely saw Song Chenshi's ugly appearance. She replied, "Madam, don't be so scared. Second sister is still alive. It's just that Zhao Lan used her to block the arrow, and she was hit by an arrow and has some wounds on her neck.
Wei Ying, out of consideration for her life, let the rebellious Third Prince go. This is like letting a tiger return to the mountain. I hope the Emperor will not blame the Prime Minister's Office and Wei Ying."
Song Chen quickly said, "Thank you, Lord Wei. He must have released the Third Prince out of respect for you and your sister's life. Where is the Third Prince going with your sister? How could he, a prince, suddenly rebel?"
Qingli naturally knew why Wei Ying was threatened by the Third Prince. After all, if Song Qingting really died in his hands, then according to etiquette and law, she and Wei Ying could not get married.
She couldn't marry an enemy who killed her sister. Although she had a grudge against Song Qingting, outsiders wouldn't think so, and Prime Minister Song would also feel alienated.
Zhao Lan truly didn't care about Song Qingting's life or death. Wei Ying wouldn't let him go, and he held the dagger to Song Qingting's neck. Even when Song Qingting was bleeding profusely and her face was covered in tears and snot, he refused to let go. Cheng Ya also asked curiously, "Yeah, Li'er, what's going on? You asked the guards to patrol the mansion more frequently yesterday. Could this be related to this?"
Cheng Ya and Song Chen were both women who grew up under traditional ethics. Their education taught them that they only needed to take care of the backyard. They were not very interested in the political situation in the court, nor would they take the initiative to pay attention to it. If their husbands did not mention it, they would not ask.
The two of them rarely attended banquets during this period, so they were not very clear about the situation outside.
Qingli couldn't explain everything, so she just said that the third prince was recruiting soldiers and horses with the intention of rebellion, and the emperor knew about it.
Song Chen didn't want to go into details. She just wanted to go back to her room and relax. Her daughter had escaped with the rebels and could not be saved. It seemed that the dowry prepared for her daughter could not be given away, so she could only use it herself.
Song Chen left quickly, and Cheng Ya asked some more details. Qingli talked to her sister-in-law for a few more words, then accompanied her back to the room, played with her little nephew, and then returned to Xianyueju.
