Chapter 146 The Shameless Yao Family!
Chapter 146 The Shameless Yao Family!
When Song Ruozhen returned to the Song residence, she found the house brightly lit. It was supposed to be a time for rest, but everyone was in the main hall. She couldn't help but wonder if her family had discovered her.
She had clearly told her third brother and Chenxiang not to tell anyone else, so she wouldn't have been exposed so quickly, would she?
After all, it's a bad thing to do, so the fewer people who know, the better. Not to mention, it would be embarrassing if my mother found out.
However, as soon as she entered the main hall, she heard her third brother's angry voice, "How can the Yao family be so shameless?"
Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that this was not her problem, but rather that the Yao family had caused trouble again.
"Mother, what happened?"
As soon as she walked in, she saw Liu Ruyan with an extremely unpleasant expression, and Song Yanzhou also had a livid face, clearly in a very unhappy mood.
"Zhen'er, you're finally back."
When Liu Ruyan saw Song Ruozhen, her dissatisfaction immediately turned into concern. "Didn't I hear that your third brother went to pick you up? I only saw your third brother come back but I didn't see you. Where did you go?"
“I was delayed by something along the way, so I asked my third brother to come back first.”
Song Ruozhen gave a vague answer, her face full of concern, "Mother, what did the Yao family do this time to make you so angry?"
"The Yao family went to the Luo family again today, saying that even if Luo Qingyin cannot have children, Yao Jinsheng is willing to marry her and promises to treat her well. They even found a matchmaker."
The whole way there was banging and clanging, and the whole scene made everyone think the two families were already engaged. Clearly, they were using this method to pressure the Luo family!
Liu Ruyan's face was ashen; it was clear that after her previous conversation with the Luo family, the marriage between the two families was practically a done deal.
They all saw how quickly Madam Yao's expression changed when the doctor said Luo Qingyin couldn't have children a few days ago. Who would have thought they would suddenly change their minds and make things even more complicated?
"Wasn't Yao Jinsheng injured? Yet he still went to the Luo family to propose marriage today?" Song Ruozhen frowned; this was beyond her expectations.
"That's right. If you ask me, Yao Jinsheng wasn't really asking for your hand in marriage. He just didn't want to give up my brother's wish."
Song Zhiyu understood now, "Not only that, he also deliberately played the victim, saying that someone didn't want them to get married and took the opportunity to ambush him."
It was precisely because of this that he felt the marriage could not be delayed any longer and immediately proposed to Miss Luo.
"Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it's not hard for everyone to guess that this matter is related to your older brother. In just half a day, the rumors have already become quite unpleasant, saying that your older brother is greedy and has his eyes on other things while eating what he already has."
He was so eager to divorce so he could marry Qingyin. He bullied others, attacked them behind their backs, and some even said Qingyin's drowning was related to your older brother.
Liu Ruyan was furious; these rumors were absolutely awful.
What was originally a smooth-sailing matter has now been interfered with, and Yan Zhou has become a typical example of domineering behavior.
Song Ruozhen turned to look at her older brother. His usually calm face became somewhat flustered when it came to matters related to Sister Luo.
"Don't worry, a solution will be found by tomorrow."
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, her expression quite mysterious.
This matter is indeed somewhat tricky, partly because Yao Jinsheng has put on such a good show in front of others all these years, and his image as a devoted lover is deeply ingrained in people's minds.
On the other hand, the Yao family has always been shameless. Yao's mother cried and slandered, fabricating a story that her eldest brother stole Luo Qingyin from her, and that he beat people up in order to win back Luo Qingyin, making Yao Jinsheng seem pitiful and helpless.
Even without evidence, people are adept at making things up, and as long as they fabricate a story of love and hate, it will appear in everyone's sight.
However, there are many people in this world who end up shooting themselves in the foot. The more offensive the rumors are today, the more interesting the drama will be tomorrow.
Seeing Song Ruozhen confidently reassure everyone that there would be a good show to watch tomorrow, they couldn't help but feel doubtful.
"Fifth Sister, you've figured this out?"
Song Yanzhou now knows his younger sister's abilities. Tomorrow's events have not yet occurred, and there are only two possibilities for how he knows.
First, it was all arranged by her own younger sister; second, she had already figured it out.
Song Ruozhen nodded, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, "Since Yao Jinsheng is so fixated on my elder brother and unwilling to do good for him, then let's just destroy it!"
In that instant, everyone in the room sensed the coldness in Song Ruozhen's voice and felt a chill run down their spines for no apparent reason.
Offending one's own sister is certainly not a wise move.
"Mother, elder brother, you should rest assured and wait until tomorrow morning to go and see the excitement together."
……
Qin Shuangshuang followed the carriage with a smile, her heart filled with anticipation.
In her past life, she liked Chu Junting. Almost no girl would dislike a man like that, but despite spending so much time, she never even had a chance to get closer to him.
After her rebirth, she completely gave up on that idea, but who could have imagined that Song Ruozhen would get closer and closer to the Prince of Chu because she didn't enter the Marquis's mansion?
"I wonder if I take the initiative, will we have a fleeting romance?"
Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but look forward to it. She had been living a hard life in the Lin family, which made her feel bad. However, she thought that everything would get better soon after the imperial examination, when Qin Xiangheng became the top scorer.
She knew very well that she was now married and that the King of Chu would never want a woman who had been married before.
However, even if there is really no hope, she wouldn't mind taking the King of Chu to see Song Ruozhen's good show.
I imagine... that scene would be quite spectacular!
Not long after, Qin Shuangshuang fainted amidst her eager anticipation.
The driver lifted the curtain and saw that the woman had fainted; a smug look appeared on his face.
"My incense never disappoints when it comes to its effects. I'll add a little more later to make things even more fun for you, young master!"
Meanwhile, in a courtyard not far from the Yao family home, Yao Jinsheng was happily lying on his bed, waiting for someone to bring him over.
"Song Ruozhen is really good-looking. I hadn't paid much attention to her before, but she has grown into such a beautiful young woman in just a few years."
Since Song Yanzhou seems so unhappy with me, I wonder how he'll react when he finds out Song Ruozhen is mine. Unless he begs me on his knees, I might not consider making Song Ruozhen my concubine!
Yao Jinsheng felt increasingly pleased with himself and let Luo Qingyin in first, since Song Ruozhen's innocence had been ruined and she wouldn't dare to make a fuss anyway.
Once Luo Qingyin enters the room, he will expose this matter. At that time... Song Yanzhou will have no choice but to submit to him!
As the man brought the drugged Qin Shuangshuang over, the courtyard was already dark.
This is Yao Jinsheng's quirk; it's more interesting when you can't see clearly at night. After all, the drugged girl doesn't react much, so it's more exciting in complete darkness.
"Young master, I'll take my leave now."
"Go ahead, the reward is on the table."
"Thank you, sir."
The man happily accepted the reward money, feeling extremely pleased with himself.
