Even an unfavored biological son is still a biological son, and it is not the turn of a minister to despise and trample on him.
Madam Song looked at Song Shaozhang with some suspicion: "My Lord, is it really as serious as Zheyang said?"
Song Shaozhang did not say anything, but his silence was the best answer.
Song Zheyang looked at the pitiful Song Muxue and said, "Little sister, you and Master Shen will have to wait a little longer."
Shen Zhikang was the first choice of husband in the hearts of the noble ladies in the capital, but because of his fiancée Song Yunxi, no one had any intention of hitting on him.
But ever since the engagement was cancelled, the threshold of Ningguo Mansion has been trampled down, which makes Song Muxue feel a strong sense of crisis.
She was really afraid that Concubine Shen would interfere and force a marriage on Shen Zhikang.
But she also knew that what Song Zheyang said was right. If she was in a hurry to cancel the engagement at this juncture, it would not only most likely anger the emperor, but would also affect the reputation she had worked so hard to build. It would simply not be worth it.
So no matter how urgent it is, we can only hold back and take the long view.
"I listen to my eldest brother, and my father must not be implicated because of me."
Song Shaozhang felt comforted by her understanding and forbearance, and he soothed her with a loving look in his eyes: "Don't worry, Muxue, your father will make sure you get what you want no matter what."
Song Shaozhang always remembered what Master Huicheng said to him: Although the second young lady has a noble fate and is born with auspiciousness, only by marrying into the Ningguo Mansion can she help the Ningguo Mansion rise to unparalleled heights.
Therefore, he had decided on this marriage with the Ningguo Mansion no matter what!
Song Muxue returned to her yard and threw things around like a madman to vent her anger. She felt a little better when she saw the mess of debris on the ground.
She glared at the cowering maids and hit them fiercely with the whip in her hand: "You're not going to deal with them yet? Do you want me to do it myself?"
Several frightened maids immediately prepared themselves without delaying for a moment. They knew better than anyone that this noble lady of the capital, who seemed generous, sensible, gentle and weak in the eyes of outsiders, was actually the domineering and vicious person.
She even used all the means to successfully drive the eldest daughter out of the house, and now her life or death is unknown, let alone the maids who serve her closely?
It's simply unbearable!
But their indentures were in the hands of the Second Young Lady, and they had no other way out except to endure.
In the study, Song Shaozhang's elegant face was full of pride: "Mu Xue is now the imperial master's last disciple. This status has made the Ningguo Mansion very satisfied. Even Concubine Shen finally gave in and let the two of them settle the marriage as soon as possible."
When the court was dismissed today, Duke Ningguo even took him out for a drink, and his words were full of praise for Mu Xue, his future daughter-in-law.
In the past two days, Wenyuanhou Mansion has not only been the center of discussion and praise among the people, but he has also become the object of envy of all civil and military officials in the court. This has given Song Shaozhang's vanity unprecedented satisfaction.
He became more and more convinced that his decision to keep Song Muxue was the right one.
Blood relationship is not important. Whoever can bring glory to Wenyuanhou Mansion is his biological daughter!
Madam Song was filled with pride. Mu Xue was someone she had personally brought up since she was a child. How could those mediocre women in the capital compare to her?
And there is Song Yunxi, that uneducated country girl, who will never be able to compare to her Mu Xue even in her next life.
But at the same time, she was even more worried: "My Lord, is there still no news about the stolen property in our mansion?"
No one knows where the thieves came from, but they robbed the Marquis' Mansion of everything. Now the Marquis' Mansion is only supported by Song Shaozhang's salary and her little private money. It can't even put together a decent gift list, let alone Song Muxue's dowry.
Thinking of her daughter, Madam Song couldn't help but feel anxious: "The Duke's wife told me everything. The marriage between Master Shen and Mu Xue will be settled in one or two months. The Duke's Mansion only has Master Shen as their legitimate son. They hope that Mu Xue can marry into the family sooner, but what about the dowry?"
Song Shaozhang was also anxious and asked Song Zheyang: "It's been so long, don't you have any clues about the theft in the mansion?"
Song Zheyang shook his head helplessly.
He also found it strange. The thief who robbed the mansion seemed to have never existed. He searched every corner of the capital but could not find any clues.
Song Zhening muttered without thinking: "Others say that it is difficult to guard against thieves within the family, but how come this thief from outside is more difficult to guard against than a thief from within the family?"
Song Shaozhang and Song Zheyang, father and son, looked at each other tacitly. They saw the same suspicion in each other's eyes, but they quickly denied it.
Not to mention that Song Yunxi's legs were broken, even if her legs were intact, it would be impossible for her to steal all the property in the heavily guarded marquis' mansion by herself.
Even if she really stole it, where did she hide such a huge amount of treasure?
Song Shaozhang could only tell his eldest son: "No matter what, you must find it back as soon as possible. Mu Xue's dowry must be the first among the noble ladies in the capital!"
Such scenery is not only for Song Muxue, but also for Wenyuanhou Mansion.
The Yiyuan Hall in the capital was packed with people, even more lively than the Spring Banquet.
Qing He's somewhat fierce face was now full of pride: "Miss, these people are all here for Qing Xue Wan."
Song Yunxi sipped her tea leisurely: "It's just a Qingxue Pill. It's worth it if it can make Yiyuantang famous."
Qing He certainly knew that Qingxue Pills were nothing to the young lady, it was just a medicine she casually prepared, but it was not the case for the people of the world.
If the King of Hell orders you to die at three o'clock in the morning, the Qingxue Pills can delay you until five o'clock.
To people all over the world, Qingxue Pills are a miraculous medicine that can fight against the King of Hell and snatch people from his hands. This shows how highly Qingxue Pills are admired.
In the past, the young lady was playful and lazy by nature, and she only took a few dozen pills once a year, so Qingxue Pills were always a rare commodity. This year, the young lady did not take any more medicine, and Qingxue Pills became so hard to come by that they cost a fortune.
Therefore, once the news that Yiyuantang had Qingxue Pills was released, anyone with a little status and a little money all flocked to Yiyuantang.
Before the Qingxue Pills were put on sale, Shopkeeper Feng came to the second floor and said, "Miss, the fifth and sixth princes are here and want to sit in the private room upstairs."
Oh, the great enemy and the future emperor are here, her Yiyuan Hall is really lively today.
"Give them the booth next to me."
It was a rare opportunity to watch the royal family in action, and she didn't want to miss it.
But what she didn't expect was that the visitors included not only the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince, but also Shen Zhikang and Song Zhening.
Song Yunxi's position is at the innermost corner, which not only makes it easy for her to observe the entire Yiyuan Hall, but also makes it difficult for her to be noticed.
As soon as they went upstairs, Song Yunxi noticed the guard following Ye Xuanke.
Although he had changed his appearance, she still recognized him at a glance.
