Chapter 909: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (31)
Song Lingji looked at his sister in front of him, the smile on his lips never disappeared.
During this period, through letters, he knew everything that happened in the mansion. After learning that his sister's fall into the water was related to Song Qingting, and guessing Song Qingting's malicious intentions, Song Lingji had already excluded Song Qingting from the identity of a relative.
Song Lingji was five years older than his sister. He had been able to remember everything since his mother's death and knew that his stepmother, Song Chen, was not as kind as she appeared. However, Song Chen had treated his sister like a mother and daughter before, and Song Lingji felt sorry for his sister, so he did not stop her.
Now it was Song Qingting who took the initiative.
Then, he should also change his attitude, he is not just gentle.
Everyone has a weak spot, and his sister is his bottom line.
Although his sister always reported that she was safe in her letters, he was worried because he hadn't seen her in person. Fortunately, his sister is now safe and sound.
"Li'er, I'm sorry, brother is back late."
At the door of Xianyueju, Qingli grabbed his sleeve and shook him gently, blinking her eyes.
"Brother, I will protect myself, don't worry."
Song Lingji looked at his unusually lively sister, rubbed her head and said, "It's your brother who should have protected you. I'm sorry for not being by your side when you were in danger."
Qingli comforted him: "It's okay, brother has brother's things to do, sister just wants you to be safe."
Song Lingji's eyes were full of tenderness.
"Silly sister, how can you be more important to me than to you? I would rather get into trouble than let you be safe." Qingli quickly shook her head and said, "We both have to live well. I'm still waiting for my sister-in-law to come home. I'm sure you're looking forward to it too."
Song Lingji blushed for the first time, "You little mischievous ghost."
"Brother, I'll go in first. You go back to your room and have a good rest."
Qingli smiled, turned around and jumped into the yard.
Song Lingji looked at his sister's back and thought of his mother who had passed away early. He felt very sorry. If his mother were still alive, it would be great. His sister had reached the age of marriage and it was time for her to get married. His mother could not see his sister get married, nor could she see him get married.
Song Lingji slowly turned around and left. He wanted to protect his sister.
What Song Qingting cares about most now is, of course, the engagement. If the emperor arranges a marriage for the seventh prince and another woman becomes his consort, what will she do?
After recuperating for more than ten days and applying a lot of ointments, Song Qingting's injuries improved slightly, and she couldn't wait to leave the house.
Because Song Qingting had been making such a fuss, the Prime Minister suspected that the Seventh Prince might be seducing his young daughter with ulterior motives and that she was not a good match. He had already planned to marry Qingli to Wei Ying, and when the Emperor inquired about it next month, he would politely decline the Emperor's proposal, citing the fact that his eldest daughter was already engaged and the second daughter was still young.
Fortunately, when the emperor proposed the matter, he simply said that the prime minister's two daughters were both good, and the seventh prince hadn't yet married. At the time, it was just the emperor and his minister, and Prime Minister Song hadn't given a firm answer, and the emperor hadn't pressed or mentioned it again, so there was still room for maneuver.
Song Chen also felt a little relieved. Not being able to marry the Marquis of Annan was better than marrying the Seventh Prince.
But Song Qingting is not happy! She wants to marry the Seventh Prince!
Song Qingting said a lot of good things about the Seventh Prince, which made Song Chen even more determined not to let her daughter marry the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince was not particularly ugly, but he had an ordinary appearance. For Song Chen, who was somewhat obsessed with appearance, she simply looked down upon him. What's more, the Seventh Prince had no maternal relatives and a poor family background. He was timid in front of his brothers such as the Crown Prince, and there was nothing worth noting about him.
The Seventh Prince must have poisoned his daughter with a spell, or given her a potion that made her look not like a reserved noble lady, but rather like someone eager to get married...
For this, Song Qingting was slapped by Song Chen.
The relationship between mother and daughter began to crack.
After being beaten, Song Qingting vented her anger and said a lot of harsh words, which made Song Chen feel discouraged and ignored her.
Song Qingting felt a little disappointed, but she still cheered herself up. When she became the queen, her mother would understand her and would stick to her.
She dressed up carefully, trying to hide the scars on her face that had not yet healed, and prepared to "accidentally meet" the Seventh Prince at a place he often visited.
However, what she didn't know was that Zhou Zhiying had already arranged people to guard near the Prime Minister's Mansion, and would report to her whenever Song Qingting went out.
After beating Song Qingting last time, Zhou Zhiying was reprimanded by the emperor, but thanks to the pleas of her husband and her aunt, Song, the emperor allowed her to copy scriptures. Zhou Zhiying treated it as calligraphy practice, as she couldn't read anyway. During this period, she had to write ten large characters every day, which was an extra hour of practice, but she was tired of it.
She already knew that Song Qingting wanted to marry the Seventh Prince. She first despised Song Qingting for thinking about getting married before she even reached the age of marriage.
A noble lady is trying to please the man.
However, Zhou Zhiying quickly made up her mind that she wanted to ruin Song Qingting's plan.
Whatever Song Qingting wanted to do, she would prevent her from doing it.
