Chapter 250 Dowry
Chapter 250 Dowry
Early the next morning, Song Wan greeted Jiang Zheng and Liu, then came to the Prime Minister's residence carrying his medicine box.
It would take some time for her father's injuries to heal, and she was worried about leaving him to someone else.
When Uncle Fu saw Song Wan this time, an exceptionally kind smile appeared on his face.
It was not until he led Song Wan to Song Yi's door that he suppressed the smile on his face.
Because at this time, Aunt Wen and Song Jing were both inside.
Inside the room, Song Jing and Aunt Wen were kneeling on the ground together, and Aunt Wen was speaking softly to Song Yi.
"Prime Minister, I know that I acted on my own initiative and let Yan'er marry into Prince Huai's mansion. It was my fault, but I had no choice..."
"Yan'er and the prince were plotted against and something like that happened. No one wants this to happen, but if Yan'er doesn't marry him, her life will be ruined."
"Now that the Prime Minister has only allowed the eldest daughter to return to the Prime Minister's Residence, how will the people in Prince Huai's Residence view her... She is also a weak person, and she will definitely be bullied..."
Upon hearing this, Song Jing also bowed respectfully to Song Yi, echoing his mother's words.
"Father, it was because I didn't take good care of my second sister that she got into trouble in Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. If you want to blame someone, then blame me."
"But my second sister is now married into Prince Huai's mansion, and my eldest sister has returned alive. Mother and I will definitely tell her again and again to do her best to share my eldest sister's worries. I also ask my father to forgive her this time..."
The reason why the two of them did this was because just now, Song Yi arranged for someone to go to Prince Huai's Mansion to pick up "Song Wan".
But I explained it specifically.
There was only Song Wan.
No Song Yan.
It seems like he doesn't recognize this daughter.
At this time, Song Yi just looked at the two people kneeling on the ground quietly, with an unclear expression in his eyes.
Because he was actually not sure at the moment whether Song Yan had been connected with Prince Huai's Mansion for a long time, and whether Song Jing and Aunt Wen knew about it.
Especially...Song Jing.
This is the son he taught himself.
If even he...
Then he is a complete failure as a father.
Thinking of this, Song Yi's emotions surged and he couldn't help but cough twice.
"Okay, I have my own plan for this matter. No need to say any more. You all should go back to your rooms first!"
Seeing that the Prime Minister seemed unwilling to talk anymore, Uncle Fu knocked on the door at the right time and brought Song Wan in.
"Auntie, Young Master, Miss Jiang is here to see the Prime Minister."
Aunt Wen and Song Jing looked at the people coming from behind and realized that now was not the time to talk, so they stood up.
Aunt Wen thought about Song Yi's injury, so she gave Song Wan some instructions before taking Song Jing out.
But she was thinking that the Prime Minister was very angry and he would not listen to anything she and Jing'er said.
It seems that Yan'er should be allowed to return home.
We can only ask the old lady to come forward.
After all, the old lady loved her granddaughter Yan'er the most.
She certainly couldn't bear to see her being looked down upon in Prince Huai's Mansion because of the Prime Minister's attitude.
Moreover, the results of Jing'er's scientific examination are about to come out, and Jing'er himself said that he did very well.
If this is really a good result, with a two-pronged approach, the anger in the Prime Minister's heart might be reduced a little.
After all, the Prime Minister has always valued family ties, and even if Yan'er does something wrong...
After all, she is still his daughter.
……
After Aunt Wen and Song Jing left, Uncle Fu also went out and stood guard at the door.
Seeing this, Song Wan immediately stepped forward.
"Father is still injured, so he shouldn't be so angry anymore..."
Song Yi just patted his daughter's hand.
"Don't worry, father is in good condition. He will be fine after some rest."
"Don't go to the Prime Minister's Residence too often. If you get too close to them, Miss Jiang from Prince Huai's Residence will inevitably make some connections with your identity."
Song Wan just nodded.
"I understand, Father."
"But father, don't worry too much. After all, I used to be an arrogant and domineering young lady outside. She has been in the capital for three years and should know that my personality is completely different from mine now."
"Even though she had some doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to be too sure for a while."
"As for the future... let's talk about it after I check on my father's injuries. Besides, isn't Song Jiu still bedridden? And Song Qi... I have to personally see how his injuries are recovering before I can rest assured."
Hearing his daughter mention Song Qi, Song Yi remembered the scene when he came back and handed his ashes to Song Jiu. He nodded silently and spoke after a moment.
"That's fine. Yesterday I told him about Jun Jiuchen saying he wanted to assassinate him. I wanted him to be mentally prepared."
"But he has always been impatient, and now he's upset about Song Qi's death and holding his breath. When he heard about this, he was unwilling to accept such an injustice. Now he directly said he wanted to confront Jun Jiuchen."
"Looking at his appearance, if he really met Jun Jiuchen, the two of them might get into a fight..."
Song Yi sighed as he spoke.
"But I'm afraid this matter can't be explained clearly by confrontation."
In order to get help, Song Jiu ignored his injuries, took his last breath, tied himself to the horse's back, and ran back to the prime minister's residence to report the news.
How could such a person betray him?
Therefore, in Song Yi's heart, there was no option that Song Jiu really did this.
Song Wan nodded upon hearing this.
"Song Jiu and Song Qi are twin brothers. Now that he has learned of Song Qi's death, he is sad and wants to vent his feelings. Once his injuries are healed, if he really wants to find the prince, then let him do it."
"If the two really fight, they will say everything they want to say. It's not bad to vent their anger." I heard from Uncle Fu that Song Qi and Song Jiu used to often seek out Song Shi, who was a secret guard, to practice with each other.
"As for the truth, just as father said, as long as we expose the rebellion in Prince Huai's mansion, everything will converge. Therefore, we only need to grasp the evidence we can see at the moment."
As Song Wan spoke, she whispered about meeting Queen Wei with Jun Jiuchen.
Song Yi was a little surprised when he heard his daughter talk about how Queen Wei protected King Huai in every possible way even though she was in that situation.
However, when I think about the previous emperor's indulgence in pleasure, his indulgence in wine and sex, and his absurd behavior in matters between men and women, it seems to make sense.
Whether Prince Huai was sincere or not, Queen Wei was lonely in the deep palace. If he had appeared by her side during those days...
But when his thoughts reached this point, Song Yi suddenly remembered something.
"Hearing you say that, I remembered something."
"Didn't Princess Huai pass away the year after you and Yun Zheng got engaged?"
"Although Prince Huai's palace announced that she had passed away due to illness, the day before her death, the late emperor summoned me to the palace. I seemed to have seen her admiring the flowers in the imperial garden with Empress Wei..."
"I didn't think much about it at the time. After all, Empress Wei and Princess Huai were sisters-in-law, so summoning her to the palace wasn't a big deal. Now that we know Empress Wei and Prince Huai had an affair, and Princess Huai suddenly fell ill and died, it does seem a bit strange."
Song Wan couldn't help but frowned when she heard what her father said.
"From what father said, could it be that he suspects that the death of Princess Huai is related to Queen Wei?"
Song Yi responded.
"This is just my guess. Since Queen Wei is now in the hands of the prince, you may be able to use this matter to test her."
"I understand, Father."
Ever since she got engaged to Yun Zheng, she often went to Prince Huai's mansion to look for him, and naturally she had also met the Princess of Huai.
In her impression, she was a very gentle and kind woman.
Every time she went to Prince Huai's mansion, she would talk to her and treat her very kindly.
The fact that Prince Huai has such a good reputation today is somewhat related to the reputation of Princess Huai among the officials and their wives. In Yun Zheng's heart... Princess Huai holds a very important position...
While Song Wan was thinking, Song Yi's voice rang out again.
"The Black Armored Guards under Jun Jiuchen's command are all from the military, and they are quite talented. We can't intervene in the investigation of King Huai's rebellion, so we can only rely on him."
As Song Yi spoke, he took out an old booklet from his sleeve quite solemnly.
"This, you give it to him for me. Just consider it as a token of sincerity from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and... your dowry from your father..."
