"Ninth Prince, do you really believe that girl can heal your leg?"
After separating from Song Wanqing, Lin Dao couldn't help but be curious. He didn't expect that his prince was really willing to let the child give it a try.
A low laugh came from the sedan, "This capital is finally not so boring anymore."
Lin Dao didn't understand, but didn't dare to ask any more questions.
——
As soon as Song Wanqing returned to the Hou Mansion, the main courtyard sent a message for her to come over. Apparently someone told the main courtyard about her entry into the palace.
She was not surprised. Most of the people in her yard were spies.
"Miss..." The girl Chen Yu is the one Song Wanqing trusts the most. She was personally selected by her mother and has been with Song Wanqing since she was a child.
The little girl's chubby face was wrinkled up in anger, "I heard that Master Hou is very angry. Please be careful now."
Song Wanqing nodded, "Who went out after I left today?"
Chen Yu thought for a while, "Luoyan went out and said he was looking for Zhang's mother to order some red cloth for the young lady to use when she gets married."
Song Wanqing snorted and had an idea in her mind.
Soon, she arrived at the main courtyard, and as soon as she stepped in, she saw a teacup smashed towards her.
Song Wanqing ducked sideways.
Unlike other girls since she was a child, she did not like needlework, calligraphy and painting, but she was quite interested in medical skills and martial arts training.
When her mother was alive, she doted on her very much and found a boxing master for her. Unfortunately, she only studied for three to five years. After her mother passed away, the master was also driven away.
"You still dare to hide?" Song Qingshan was furious, "Unfilial daughter, kneel down!"
"Master Hou, calm down, calm down." Chen Qinglian persuaded on the side, "Qing'er, you too, how can you be so bold and dare to enter the palace to cancel the engagement? You have not only slapped the face of the Marquis, but also the face of the royal family. .”
"Why don't you kneel down?" Song Qingshan's eyes widened, as if he wanted to eat Song Wanqing alive.
"What's wrong with my daughter? Why should I kneel down?" Song Wanqing stood there upright, her tone slightly cold.
"What's wrong?" Song Qingshan laughed angrily, "Come on, family law, I think you are really spoiled by your mother. Now that your mother is gone, I must teach you a lesson!"
Soon, someone brought a rattan whip, which was thicker than a thumb, extremely hard, and covered with barbs. If it was whipped, it would definitely tear open the skin and flesh.
"Qing'er, please kneel down and admit your mistake to the Marquis." Chen Qinglian came up and pulled Song Wanqing, "What do you think is wrong with you? Why don't you want to marry the King of Chu?"
Song Wanqing pushed Chen Qinglian aside, "Even if my father beats me to death, I won't change my mind."
Song Qingshan originally just wanted to scare her, but after hearing what she said, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Okay, I will fulfill your wish today and beat you to death for being an unfilial daughter." He swung his whip and hit Song Wanqing.
Song Wanqing grabbed his wrist, her eyes were frighteningly cold, "I want to remind father that the Ninth Prince has promised to send his daughter to the mansion for medical treatment tomorrow. You can think of it before you hit her."
"Ninth Prince?" Song Qingshan's whip stopped in mid-air, "Xiao Jiu'an?"
"Exactly."
Chen Qinglian quickly pulled Song Qingshan, Xiao Jiuan couldn't afford to offend him.
She pretended to protect Song Wanqing, "Master Hou is trying to scare you, how can he be willing to really hit you?"
Song Wan said coldly, "Can I go back now?"
"Qing'er, are you going to treat the Ninth Prince's leg tomorrow?" Chen Qinglian asked with a worried look, "How sure are you? If the treatment doesn't work well..."
Song Qingshan immediately turned cold, "The entire hospital can't cure her, how can she be cured?"
The more he thought about it, the more troublesome he felt, "You are not allowed to go anywhere tomorrow. I will personally bring gifts to Prince Zhan's Mansion to make amends."
"Father!" Song Wanqing's eyes widened in anger.
"Needless to say," Song Qingshan made up his mind, "Someone, please send the lady back to her room. She is not allowed to step out of the room without my permission."
Song Wanqing gritted his teeth and stared at Song Qingshan.
"Qing'er, you go back first, and I'll persuade the Marquis." Chen Qinglian pushed Song Wanqing out.
After Song Wanqing returned to the room, someone actually locked the door to prevent her from going out.
——
During dinner, Song Zhiqiu appeared.
"Dad just said he would lock up the eldest sister, but he didn't say he wouldn't give her food. If she gets hungry, can you afford it?"
The two guards looking at the door looked at each other and had no choice but to open the door and let people in.
"Eldest sister, are you starving?" Song Zhiqiu carried the food box, "Mother made your favorite white jade cedar cake and asked me to deliver it to you."
There were no candles lit in the room. Song Wanqing sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the person not far away sadly.
"Eldest sister?" Song Zhiqiu put the things away. When he turned around and saw Song Wanqing's eyes, he was so frightened that he dropped the chopsticks in his hands.
She patted her chest and said, "Sister, why are you looking at me like that? You scared me to death."
Song Wanqing lit the candle and said innocently, "Why am I looking at you?"
Song Zhiqiu observed carefully and saw that Song Wanqing was no different from before. Maybe it was too dark just now and she saw it wrong.
"It's nothing." She twitched her lips, "Sister, please eat it while it's hot."
"I'm not hungry." Song Wanqing didn't even look at it.
Song Zhiqiu frowned suspiciously. In the past, Song Wanqing loved to eat this cedar cake. Why didn't he eat it today?
But it doesn’t matter, I won’t starve to death anyway.
She went straight to the point, "Eldest sister, I heard that brother Yi has asked the emperor for marriage. Brother Yi loves eldest sister so much, and eldest sister is so happy."
"Hey, my sister likes the King of Chu so much, why not tell her father and mother," Song Wanqing said with disdain, "I will give this blessing to my sister."
"Eldest sister, what are you talking about?" Song Zhiqiu was shocked, "Brother Yi is interested in eldest sister, how could he be willing to marry me?"
"Yes, if you two are together and encounter a fire, one will run faster than the other," Song Wanqing clicked her tongue twice, "Maybe both of you will be burned to death."
"..." Song Zhiqiu said speechlessly, "The fire that day was an accident, and it doesn't happen every day."
"How do you know it was an accident?" Song Wanqing asked with raised eyebrows.
"Of course, Brother Yi has found out clearly that it is the child of the family who is playing with fire." Song Zhiqiu always felt that Song Wanqing was different today.
Did she notice something?
As she spoke, she carefully observed Song Wanqing's reaction.
"Whether it was an accident or someone did it on purpose," Song Wan said coldly, "I am grateful to this fire for allowing me to see these two people clearly."
Song Zhiqiu's face turned a little pale.
"A man knew that I was still in a burning room, but he didn't think of a way to save me."
"The other person," she smiled wryly at herself, "but after I rescued him, he turned around and ran away, throwing me into the sea of fire, without caring."
"Sister, you misunderstood. The fire was too strong and we were in a hurry outside..." Song Zhiqiu defended himself anxiously.
"Pa!" Song Wanqing interrupted Song Zhiqiu's words with a slap.
She always wants to get some interest back first.
