Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered
Chapter 142 World 3: The Emperor Who Has No Heir Seizes His Minister’s Wife (21)
Not only were the spectators present shocked, but Song's second wife Liu Xianglian, who was standing next to Censor Song, also looked at him in disbelief, as if she had realized for the first time how shameless he was.
Ever since Liu Xianglian married into the Song family, she has always been able to get whatever she wants. Even though she bullied Song Lingxi and made her life worse than that of a servant, Song Liwen never intervened.
Liu Xianglian's eyes widened, and he stared at Song Yushi with a pair of sharp eyes: "What did you say?"
Censor Song didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. After all, wasn't all of this caused by Liu Xianglian himself?
He was just making things clear now. Besides, Liu Xianglian had been domineering in the mansion for so many years, and now he just wanted her to admit her mistakes.
But looking at Liu Xianglian's angry eyes, Censor Song felt guilty at first, but then he felt justified.
"Xianglian, I know you are the one who has to take care of everything in the mansion. It must be that the servants are not careful in their work. You just didn't take care of it for a while."
Censor Song looked at Liu Xianglian's still unconvinced eyes, which even had a hint of anger in them. He suddenly thought of Song Lingyu, who was about to marry into the Princess's mansion.
Censor Song was also very satisfied with this promising daughter. Now that something had happened, in order not to annoy Her Royal Highness the Princess, Liu Xianglian, as a mother, should naturally be tolerant.
"Besides, now that our Lingyu has grown up, we can let her exercise and help you manage the affairs of the mansion, so that she won't be so busy when she gets married in the future."
Liu Xianglian originally wanted to fight to the death with Censor Song, but when he heard him mention Lingyu, he immediately lost his temper.
There was no way. She and Song Liwen had two daughters, Song Lingyu and Song Lingzhi.
But the child is still young and not old enough to get married. Now is the critical time for Song Lingyu to marry into the Princess's Mansion, and he, as a mother, cannot hold back.
Therefore, Liu Xianglian could only accept the matter with a pinch of his nose. She had done it on purpose, and Censor Song also nodded in agreement.
Otherwise, without Song Liwen's consent, no matter how bold she was, she would not dare to swallow up the original wife's dowry. If this matter was really exposed, it would definitely ruin her reputation.
After all, throughout history, dowry has always been the woman's asset and the foundation for a woman to make a living in the world. Any promising man will not use a woman's dowry.
Moreover, if the husband dies early, the woman can marry again with her dowry, so the dowry account and the mansion account should not be the same.
Now he pushed all the blame on himself and took all the blame. Liu Xianglian could only endure it and not get angry.
Besides, her reputation has been ruined. With so many people pointing fingers at her, her "good reputation" will spread throughout the streets and alleys tomorrow. So let it be ruined, as long as Lingyu is fine.
Thinking of this, Liu Xianglian forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and managed to force out a decent smile.
"Perhaps the servants made a mistake. Bring Xier's dowry list here for me to take a look at. I'll make up for it for you now."
Upon hearing this, Censor Song breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could put the blame on his wife for not managing the household properly, the Emperor would not blame him too much even if other people reported him for the matter.
At this time, Xie Changling brought up the old matter again and mentioned the indentures of the maids and servants who came with the dowry.
"Madam, please give me the dowry..."
"Okay, I know everything. The indenture, right? Go get it now, but it may take some time. Otherwise, why don't you go into the mansion and wait?"
Facing everyone's pointing and various discussions, Liu Xianglian had to put on a gentle and virtuous look and could only greet them with a smile.
She was really fed up with this kind of "attention", so she wanted to go into the mansion to hide.
Censor Song also nodded repeatedly. He really didn't want to embarrass himself in public. Not only would it be shameful, but he also felt a little guilty.
What happened back then was indeed not that simple. He and Liu Xianglian had planned that thing together, but it was that woman who stood in their way.
Although so many years have passed, he still remembers the woman covered in blood and her eyes full of hatred and unwillingness, so he doesn't want to face the people from the General's Mansion.
However, the two of them wanted to leave, so how could Xie Changling let them do as they wish? These two people, one abused and hurt Xier, while the other turned a blind eye to her pain.
The strange looks they are feeling now are what they deserve, Xie Changling said with a smile.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. I brought a lot of people with me this time. If you are short of manpower, I will fill it for you."
Song Lingxi had just calmed down from the excitement of meeting her third aunt, and when she heard Xie Changling supporting her and venting her anger, she looked at him with sparkling eyes.
She secretly held Xie Changling's big hand and hooked his palm with her little finger. The man held her hand tightly. The warm big palm wrapped around her small hand made her feel particularly at ease.
Suddenly, Song Lingxi felt a strong gaze staring at her. She turned her head and saw Song Lingyu's jealous eyes.
When Song Lingyu saw that her thoughts had been discovered, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes, and she quickly turned her head away, her posture somewhat unnatural.
Song Lingxi tugged at Xie Changling's big hand, and when he turned his gaze to her, she signaled him to bend down with her eyes, and whispered to him what had just happened.
After Xie Changling heard this, he looked at his dear lady with an earnest gaze, like a child secretly complaining, looking for his patriarch to support him.
Xie Changling was amused by his own thoughts, and then patted the back of Song Lingxi's hand. What else can he do? My wife has spoken, so he can only spoil her!
"Father-in-law, I really want to thank you."
Xie Changling's sudden voice startled Censor Song. He was already feeling guilty, and now he was even more frightened.
"Thank you, thank you for what..." Censor Song was sweating on his forehead, fearing that he would say something to set him up and make things difficult for him.
"Why is my father-in-law so nervous?" Xie Changling asked curiously when he saw the sweat on his forehead, but Censor Song did not respond.
"My dear son-in-law, please be patient. Madam has already gone to the storehouse to get something for you. Can't you wait for a little while?"
Xie Changling readily apologized, and seeing Censor Song's reaction, he temporarily suppressed his doubts and continued to praise him.
"Yes, father-in-law, I just want to thank you for marrying Xier to me. You don't know that Xier is my destined wife."
"Since Xier got married, my son-in-law has been getting healthier day by day. He used to be bedridden and even had trouble going out."
"But now that Xi'er is here, do you see that I still look as sick as I did a few days ago? So, don't be modest. I, your father, and your mother are very grateful to you."
Xie Changling's words were sincere, every word came from the heart, and there were even tears in his eyes. When he looked at Song Lingxi, his eyes were full of cherishment and doting, which moved everyone.
