Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

"No, that's not the case..."

Song Lingyu was flustered and wanted to explain to them that her mother had always been well-mannered and graceful, and that those were just their guesses.

But unfortunately, her voice was lost in the crowd and no one could hear it, or even if they heard it, no one would believe her explanation.

Song Lingyu was so anxious that she almost cried. She came out to greet Song Lingxi and the others specially just to appear in front of Xie Changling and see him more.

Song Lingyu thought to herself that even if the two of them were not destined to be husband and wife, it would be good for her to see him more often.

She had never forgotten the life-saving grace he showed her, and even had a vague hope that maybe he would recognize her. He should still remember the little girl he rescued that year.

But Song Lingyu waited and waited, but never got a glance from Xie Changling. She felt a little disappointed, but soon she no longer cared about it.

As more and more people gathered around, things were getting out of control. Some people were pointing fingers at her, as if she was the one who did something wrong.

Song Lingyu couldn't bear such a gaze, her face suddenly turned pale, and her body swayed in the air, as if she would fall down in the next second.

At this time, she turned her gaze to Xie Changling with tears in her eyes. She was as weak as a willow in the wind. She relied on this trick to defeat Xiao Heng, and she believed that Xie Changling would not be able to escape either.

"Thank you, Master..."

Song Lingyu looked at Xie Changling and didn't even call him "brother-in-law". She looked at him expectantly, wanting him to help her explain and protect her like he did back then.

Unfortunately, that seductive glance was like being thrown to a blind person. Xie Changling was only paying attention to his young wife Lingxi. He didn't even look over there, and even added fuel to the fire.

"Please don't speculate. My mother-in-law must have some unspeakable secrets. It's just a dowry contract. It's normal that she can't think of it for the time being."

As Xie Changling was speaking, an angry voice came from behind him: "Who dares to act rashly in my Song Mansion?"

Xie Changling and Song Lingxi turned around at the same time. Leading the way was a woman wearing a bright red peony flower brocade skirt with gold detail. She had her hair combed in a hibiscus bun, and wore a gold and jade hairpin, looking elegant and graceful.

Behind her followed a middle-aged man in a purple robe and a woman with a pretty face. She looked young but was actually nearly 40 years old. She was Song Lingxi's stepmother.

The shout came from a man with an angry look on his face, his complexion as pale as charcoal. He glanced at Song Lingxi, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then turned into full of displeasure.

Censor Song knew that now was not the time to scold Song Lingxi. He raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Changling, still with a bad expression on his face. After all, he was a dying man, so why should he care about him?

Several people bowed to the Princess together. The Princess did not ask everyone to stand up. She first glanced at Song Lingxi. After all, she was really eye-catching.

Even though she hid behind Xie Changling, she could still be seen by everyone at a glance. She was so beautiful that she could be a concubine in the palace, let alone a young lady.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess narrowed her narrow eyes. Her son was really disappointing and had angered his younger brother. He was about to be exiled to the frontier, away from the vortex of power, and it was not certain whether he could come back.

She had to think of a way to keep her son here. It would be best if there was another useful person around her brother. How could an ordinary beauty trap be enough? Wouldn't it be better to use a forbidden method?

As Her Royal Highness the Princess thought so, a warm smile appeared on her expressionless face. She walked towards Song Lingxi and his wife, personally helped them up, and said, "Stand up."

She held Song Lingxi's hands affectionately, looked her up and down, and couldn't help but praise Xie Changling: "This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful person. You are so lucky to marry such a beautiful woman."

Xie Changling did not let down his guard because of her praise. Although he had only met Her Royal Highness the Princess once, she was by no means a warm and gentle person.

At the banquet that year, the prince consort had an affair with a young maid. When he heard the news, he saw clearly the cruelty in the eyes of the princess. Although he quickly put on the mask again, he still could not forget it.

Xie Changling thought about it, and then smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Princess. My wife is so weak and graceful, how can she compare to the grace and elegance of Princess."

Song Lingxi also nodded and said "yes", behaving submissively. She had no dissatisfaction with Xie Changling calling her a weakling, and even secretly admired Xie Changling for his quick reaction.

She had no contact with the Princess in her previous life, and had never actually met the Princess, but she knew that whoever taught Xiao Heng to be like that, what kind of good person would he be?

The princess smiled faintly and patted the back of Song Lingxi's hand, then turned back to say to Censor Song and his wife: "Censor Song's family has raised two good daughters, each of them is very beautiful."

Although Censor Song and his wife did not understand what she meant, they could only smile along. After all, they could not afford to offend Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Seeing them trying to follow the trend, the eldest princess' eyes flashed with disdain. They are called censors, but they don't have any character of a scholar. They are really unworthy of the identity of a scholar.

If her son was not about to be exiled to the frontier and she was in urgent need of a marriage to delay the matter, she would not have agreed to Song Lingyu's marriage. She was petty and used to being coy.

Whatever the princess thought in her heart, she did not show it on her face. She smiled and nodded, then got in her carriage and returned home.

As for Censor Song's family affairs, she didn't want to get involved at all. It would not benefit her if she did. On the contrary, if she offered Song Lingxi to the emperor's younger brother, she should be able to gain some benefits.

Let her think about what to do. She has to do it without leaving any trace, but also make her brother understand her good intentions. It's really a headache.

……

After the princess left, the crowd started talking louder again. Censor Song's face immediately darkened, and he looked like he was about to get angry at any moment.

Although he was not afraid of the prime minister's son, he had to be nice to him for the sake of the prime minister's face.

But he was not polite to his eldest daughter who was married and had killed her mother at birth, this evil demon and disaster.

So Censor Song said in a deep voice: "Song Lingxi, you have disappointed your father so much. Are you instigating others to blame your mother?"

Song Lingxi's body trembled when he yelled at her, and she tightened her grip on Xie Changling's hand, but she still did not back down, and looked directly at the man called her father: "You——"

"My dear father-in-law, even though it is difficult for an honest judge to judge family affairs, your indiscriminate and inability to distinguish right from wrong really makes me feel disappointed."

Before Song Lingxi could open her mouth, Xie Changling interrupted her and said, "People in this world attach great importance to filial piety. The word "filial piety" can crush a person."

If Xier retorted without caring about the consequences, it would relieve her anger, but her reputation would inevitably be damaged.

Well, let him come.
