As soon as Song Liuli's carriage left Xingqing Mansion, the eunuch came to Prime Minister Song's residence with the emperor's edict to read it out.
"Prime Minister Song's legitimate daughter Song Liuli has received the decree."
"My dear father-in-law, my daughter was too playful and went out to the street and hasn't come back yet. I will take your order for you. What do you think?"
"also."
"Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Song Liuli, the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Song, is dignified and generous, with outstanding character and appearance. She is now of marriageable age, and I am choosing a husband for her on behalf of Heaven. Chu Nanxi, the son of Chu Hanzhi, the Lord of Shucheng, is handsome and has passed the age of twenty. He is suitable for marriage, and a virtuous woman should be chosen as her partner. I specially grant her the right to marry you and choose a day for the wedding. I decree this."
Prime Minister Song was shocked. How could Liuli be married by the emperor to the son of the Lord of Shucheng and become the wife of the young Lord of Shucheng? This made him regret driving Liuli out of the Song family. What should he do now?
"Prime Minister Song, please accept the order!"
"Thank you, my Lord, for your grace."
As the Song family members prepared, the eunuch said loudly, "Prime Minister Song's second daughter, Song Xi, accepts the decree."
Prime Minister Song thought that it was the emperor's decree to appoint her as his principal wife, and he was immediately overjoyed.
Song Xize was also excited and dancing, "Ms. Chen, Song Xi, accept the order."
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Song Xi, the second daughter of Prime Minister Song, is of dignified appearance, outstanding talent, and noble character. My third prince, Tuoba Jun, has been extremely intelligent since childhood, has extensive knowledge, and is of humble character. He has won my heart. I hereby grant Song Xi the title of concubine to the third prince, and choose an auspicious day for the wedding. I decree this."
When Song Xi heard that the emperor had named her a concubine, her face instantly turned extremely ugly. Didn't the third prince agree that since she was the legitimate daughter, he would ask the emperor to grant her marriage as the principal wife? Why did the emperor's decree say that she was a concubine?
"Eunuch, did you read the imperial edict wrongly? Am I the principal concubine or the concubine according to the imperial edict?"
"Miss Song, we are right. The emperor's decree is that she is a concubine."
"Miss Song, please accept the order!"
"Your Majesty, I accept your order and thank you for your grace."
Song Xi took the imperial edict and carefully read its contents.
It was truly the concubine that made her unhappy. Song Liuli's status as the legitimate daughter was the principal wife, while her own legitimate daughter was only a concubine. She was extremely jealous.
Prime Minister Song gave the eunuch a silver note worth one hundred taels, and he took the note and left.
"Xi'er, why are you still a concubine when you are now the legitimate daughter? Go to the Third Prince's mansion and ask what's going on."
"Dad, I will go to the Third Prince's mansion and ask for clarification now."
"Go back quickly."
"Yes."
Prime Minister Song was troubled by the imperial decree granting marriage to Song Liuli, and drove Deng out of the house for the position of the main wife.
Now that she hasn’t gotten the position of the principal wife and her relationship with her children is so strained, what should she do if Liuli disagrees with this marriage and runs away from the marriage?
Last time, the emperor had not issued an edict, so there was still room for maneuver. But now that the edict has been issued, if you escape the marriage, it would be disobeying the emperor's order, punishable by death.
How can we make Liuli willing to marry Chu Nanxi now?
Prime Minister Song sat there in deep thought, and Aunt Chen looked at him worriedly.
"Master, what should we do about Liuli's imperial decree? What if she doesn't agree to marry Chu Nanxi?"
"Go back to your room and stop bothering me."
"Yes."
She was so scared that she walked away quickly.
"Butler, take a few servants and follow me."
"Yes".
They came to Song Xiao's villa. The eldest daughter-in-law Qin was stunned for a few seconds when she saw that it was Prime Minister Song who came.
"Prime Minister Song, why are you here? Our temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you."
"Where's Liuli?"
"Is Liuli back? How come I don't know where she is? We also want her to see mother for the last time."
"Don't waste your time telling her to come out. I have something important to tell her."
"Prime Minister Song, if you don't believe me, you can send someone in to look for me."
"Go in and find the young lady. Bring her to me when you find her."
"Yes."
Several servants hurried into the room to look for someone, but when they didn't find Song Liuli, they hurried over to report.
"Master, the young lady is not in the room."
"Is Deng here?"
"My wife is not in the room either."
"Where are the Dengs?"
"My husband has taken my mother to see a doctor. If you don't believe me, send someone to Xingqing Mansion to inquire. You will know the answer once you ask."
"Since this is the case, you are my Song family's daughter-in-law, and you must return to the Song family to avoid being laughed at."
"Prime Minister Song, your own son doesn't even think there's a need for a wife. This is puzzling."
"You don't have to go back to the Song family, but my grandson must go back. This is my Song family's child, and he can't live outside and suffer."
Qin hurriedly blocked their way, extremely angry.
"Prime Minister Song has no sons, so how can he have grandchildren? Who dares to touch my child?"
Wu heard the noise and hurried out to check, "Sister-in-law, why are they doing this?"
"I wonder what Prime Minister Song means?"
"Didn't your parents teach you to call out to your elders when you see them?"
"Our parents taught us to respect our elders, but they never taught us to be kind to cruel people."
"Go in and bring my two grandsons back to the mansion, otherwise you can't go back either."
"Yes."
"I will report anyone who dares to snatch my child to the police."
"When a grandfather plays with his grandson, even the government has no right to interfere."
"Aren't you afraid of hurting the baby? It will be troublesome if Wu's stomach is hurt."
"What exactly do you want?"
"go home with me."
"Let's wait until my husband comes back. We women can't be the masters."
"No, go now."
"We will go back with you now, but we will stay at home alone to wait for my husband and uncle to come back."
"can."
Qin took her two children and sister-in-law back to the Song Mansion. Only after she returned did she know the purpose of Prime Minister Song asking her to come back.
The emperor ordered a marriage between Song Liuli and the son of the mayor of Shucheng. He was worried that Song Liuli would not agree, so he used his entire family as a threat.
At night, when Song Xiao and Song Qiao returned home, the servants told them that their wives had been taken back to the mansion by Prime Minister Song. They went to the Song Mansion angrily.
"What on earth do you want to do? Where are my wife and children?"
"Call Liuli back. If you want to leave, I won't try to stop you."
"Where are we going Liuli?"
"Liuli, I came back today. I went to your house to look for you later. Qin must know where Liuli is. Hurry up and notify Liuli to come back to receive the order, otherwise we will all die."
"What order did Liuli receive? We have already severed ties with you. What does your life or death have to do with us?"
"The emperor has granted her a marriage with the son of the Lord of Shucheng. She must come back to get married, otherwise the entire Song family will die if they disobey the order."
"So Prime Minister Song is afraid of death, so he brought his daughter-in-law back to threaten his daughter to marry. I really despise you for using my daughter as a shield."
"Don't talk nonsense to me, hurry up and find Liuli back."
"Let's go see my wife and children first."
They learned that Liuli had taken her mother to find someone to cure her poison, so they pretended not to know where Liuli was and went out to look for her every day.
