"princess!"
"aunt."
Seeing that her face was almost scratched, Aunt Jiang quickly stretched out her hand to stop her. Tang Ning was also anxious: "Hua Wu, go get water quickly."
Hua Wu from the outside hurriedly brought water in, and Princess Cheng washed her face again and again. When the rouge covering her pale face was wiped away by the water, and she could hardly vomit anything in her stomach, she was helped by Nanny Jiang to sit back down with a pale face. He walked to the bedside and murmured after a long while.
"Isn't it ridiculous?"
Nanny Jiang's eyes were red: "Princess..."
"I didn't know that Xie Tianyu was so good at acting."
Princess Cheng felt like there was a lump in her throat. She was smiling, but her eyes were full of tears.
She had been married to Xie Tianyu for nearly twenty years, and she had never doubted him. His affection, his single-mindedness, and his care and pampering of her all seemed like a joke now.
She thought their love as husband and wife was better than anything else, but he treated her like a fool.
How could he tell those lies so sincerely without changing his face, even pretending that even she, the person next to him, couldn't tell the truth from the lies.
If she hadn't gone to Jingzhao Mansion that day, if she hadn't already known that Song Shulan had a different identity, how could she have suspected that this sincere and considerate man was actually lying to her from beginning to end?
Aunt Jiang moved her lips and glanced at Tang Ning: "Maybe the prince just doesn't want to see the girl causing too much trouble with the Song family..."
"What is too much?"
Princess Cheng's eyes were red: "It's them who want to kill Tang Ning, they want to smear my sister's and their names behind her, they are the ones who stuffed an unknown object into the second room to bully my sister's child."
"He clearly knows about my relationship with my sister, and he knows that Tang Ning is my sister's life, but for the sake of the Song family, and for the sake of the illegitimate daughter who I don't know who is the bastard, he used these ridiculous things to lie to me!"
She waved her hand and knocked everything on the couch to the floor.
"What kind of benefits did the Song family grant him? He can even confuse right and wrong. What does he think of our relationship as husband and wife for so many years?"
Grandma Jiang looked at Princess Cheng who was trembling with anger and she didn't dare to defend Prince Cheng for a moment.
Princess Cheng's chest heaved with anger, remembering that Prince Cheng had spoken tender words of love to her just before he left, and the nausea she had just gone up rose again.
Tang Ning looked at Princess Cheng who looked pale and had red eyes, and didn't know how to comfort her.
If she had not known that her aunt would suddenly "die" of illness soon, had never seen King Cheng fall in love with someone else, and had not found a new love so soon after her aunt passed away, and that her love for others remained the same as when her aunt was alive, she might have persuaded her to A few words.
Although Prince Cheng was not genuine in his treatment of her and did not want to protect her, his feelings for Princess Cheng for many years were not false.
But knowing that, she was unwilling to speak for him.
Tang Ning just whispered: "Aunt, do you still want to hold the spring banquet?"
"Do it, why not do it?!"
Princess Cheng stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears with cold eyes: "Didn't the Song family want to trick you into returning home? Didn't Xie Tianyu want to cover up for them? They wanted to step on you to help the Song family restore its reputation and let you clear the name of the Song family. Then I want to see what the Song family will look like when everyone knows their faces."
She said to Tang Ning:
"There are still a few days until March 3rd. The people from Suyun Town should be able to come back. Even if they can't, the letter from Jingzhao Mansion is enough to make the Song family and Xie Tianyu panic. Then the Li family is fake. , there is naturally something wrong with that letter, but your father’s jade pendant..."
Song Tangning said: "That is my father's relic. After my father and my mother left, many of their personal belongings were kept in my room. Song Jinxiu and Song Shulan secretly entered my yard a few days ago."
"Shameless!"
Princess Cheng was furious when she heard this.
Aunt Jiang also had a stern look on her face: "Fortunately, the eldest son of the Song family is still the Young Master of Yutai, how could he do such a despicable thing."
"Bullshit Mr. Yutai, he is a hypocrite."
Princess Cheng frowned: "Grandma, go and urge Gu Helian to hurry up. The Song family's affairs must be proved before they can be beaten to death. Then Tang Ning can justifiably leave the Song family."
Aunt Jiang quickly agreed, but Song Tangning was startled: "Gu Helian?"
Princess Cheng turned back: "You must have never heard of him. Gu Helian was the adopted son of your grandfather. Your mother-in-law was kind to him, but something happened and he left the capital."
Tang Ning frowned slightly, no, she had heard of this name.
After the aunt in the previous life left, the Song family suddenly fell out of favor, but at that time, Song Jinxiu and the others were not as indifferent as they would be later.
When Xie Yin occasionally visited the palace, besides being disgusted with her for being vicious and ignorant, he once mentioned Gu Helian in his words. He was full of anger and cursed Gu Helian as a mad dog, saying that he was always against Prince Cheng's palace and was disturbing them like a madman. The chickens and dogs are restless.
Does Gu Helian have anything to do with the Rong family?
Tang Ning was curious: "My grandfather's adopted son, why haven't I heard my mother mention this person before?"
Princess Cheng paused and lowered her eyes slightly: "He left the capital many years ago. Later he recognized his family and never entered the capital again."
"So that's it."
Song Tangning didn't notice the flash of strangeness on Princess Cheng's face. She just thought it was an old friend of the Rong family and didn't think much about it. She said to Princess Cheng: "Then aunt, don't worry, if the uncle from the Gu family can't come back, brother There is some evidence over there, enough to crucify the Song family."
Princess Cheng was stunned for a moment when she heard her address: "You called him uncle?"
Tang Ning was puzzled: "Isn't he my grandfather's adopted son?"
Princess Cheng looked at Song Tangning, who looked puzzled, with some confusion in her eyes, and she sighed softly for a moment: "Yes, you should indeed call him uncle."
Aunt Jiang stood aside and opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak. However, looking at the princess with long eyelashes hanging down, she just sighed softly in her heart.
uncle…
Gu Langjun was afraid that he never wanted it.
…
After setting the spring banquet, Princess Cheng became busy. All the offices in Beijing received the message, even the Lu family did not miss it.
When the fourth princess entered the palace to meet the queen, she informed the queen that Prince Cheng's palace was preparing to hold a grand spring banquet.
Empress Lu was pruning flower branches in her hands. Her appearance was not stunning, her eyebrows were smart, and she carried the dignity of having been in a high position for a long time.
After hearing what happened in Prince Cheng's Mansion, Empress Lu paused with the scissors in her hand: "Is there a banquet at this time?"
The fourth princess whispered: "My daughter-in-law heard that the Song family also received the message."
Empress Lu only thought for a moment and then laughed: "This is Tang Ning's kid trying to give in."
"My daughter-in-law thinks so too. She is a little girl after all. Even if she is protected by Princess Cheng and eunuch Xiao Yan, how can she really break up with the Song family? Besides, she is still thinking about our husband of the Lu family. If she keeps making trouble like this Don't say she's being unreasonable if you go down, I'm afraid the Lu family's marriage will be ruined."
The Fourth Princess curled her lips and said, "As for my daughter-in-law, she was too temperamental this time."
Empress Lu said softly: "You almost died, who has a bad temper? Besides, do you think Princess Cheng is easy to get along with?"
Back then, there were two sisters in the Rong family. The eldest daughter, Rong Zhen, was known as a talented and dignified girl. Although the second daughter, Rong Yue, was not inferior to her elder sister in talent, she was also famous in Beijing for her hot temper.
Even if she doesn't pursue Song Tangning's matter, Rongyue will still have to fight with the Song family, and Xiao Yan will get involved inexplicably...
"It's just that Song Jinxiu is not careful in his actions. He has always been calm, but he actually caused things like Qishan's that made people scratch their tails."
The Fourth Princess said: "It's a pity for my daughter-in-law. He has a bright future and can be used by Your Highness in the future..."
Empress Lu cut off a section of the flower branch protruding from the flower pot in front of her, then placed the small scissors on the tray held by the palace attendant beside her, and said in a soft voice while holding the handkerchief to clean her hands:
"It's just a temporary frustration. As long as Tang Ning and Song Guogong's house are reconciled, the incident in Qishan will be over sooner or later."
"Song Jinxiu is not incompetent. If he can coax Tang Ning to clear up his name, clear up the rumors, and then let the elder brother give him a few promotions, it will not be difficult for him to re-enter the court."
She put the veil back and then continued:
"It's a good thing to let Tang Ning make such a fuss. In the past, I was always worried that if Song Hong inherited the title, Song Jinxiu also believed in his aristocracy, and it would be difficult for the Duke of Song to sincerely rely on the Lu family and assist Zheng'er. Now after this incident, they have no choice but to There are no other options.”
After Song Tangning marries into the Lu family, the Duke of Song's palace, Prince Cheng's palace, the connections left by the head of the Rong family, and the things that no one else can ask for will all belong to Zheng'er.
Not to mention Xiao Yan...
During this period, Xiao Yan has been biting the Lu family. The eldest brother and the others are also in trouble. Many of the Lu family's businesses and connections have been messed up.
Queen Lu's eyes were condensed: "Ask Sanlang to go to the spring banquet in Prince Cheng's Mansion and ask him to coax Song Tangning."
Song Tangning loves Lu Zhinian so much. As long as she can be coaxed to bite Xiao Yan back, the eldest brother and the others will have an excuse to deal with that mad dog.
