Song Ming and Li's smiles froze on their faces.

"What did you say?" Song Ming pulled Song Chuchu, his neck red with anxiety: "You didn't win the concubine selection today?"

Li also didn't believe it: "Her dancing clothes and her hands were all planned! How could she become a princess?"

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became cold. Only the old lady who followed in took the imperial edict from Song Ming's hand, read the words on it again and again, and finally left with a smile.

Song Chuchu was annoyed: "She was going to lose all three games today, but who knew she would paint with her left hand in the second game!"

Song Ming was puzzled: "Even if he used his left hand to draw the second one, what about the other ones?"

"I won first place in the other two rounds." Song Chuchu sat down on the chair indifferently and said reluctantly: "But I didn't plan to be a princess. I just wanted to marry the prince!"

Li looked at Song Chuchu and said in a less pleasant tone, "You won first place in both competitions, so why did the position of princess fall to that lowly... Song Wu?"

Song Chuchu's patience was exhausted. She glared angrily and suddenly yelled, "Who knows what evil thing happened to Jiang Xing! He specifically asked Song Wu to bring him happiness!"

It was the first time that Mrs. Li saw her daughter lose her temper so much that she shuddered with fear.

"Oh! It's bad!" Song Ming was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "I told you all along that Song Wu couldn't go to Prince Jin's concubine selection! Now I'm afraid I'm going to offend everyone no matter what!"

His brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly: "But on one side are the Queen Mother and the Prince, and on the other side is the Marquisate that is at its peak of power. We can't afford to offend either side!"

Song Wu had no interest in returning to Wutong Garden. She was about to move out to do good deeds and accumulate merits, but now she was going to be a princess!

In his previous life, wasn’t Jiang Xing worried about Song Chuchu even after his death, and wanted to leave her a safe future for her wealth?

Why should I choose myself again in this life?

After lunch in the afternoon, Song Wu went to bed quickly. He was too tired to deal with the whole day.

In a daze, she felt someone pushing her and saying something anxiously in her ear.

Xiao Kui was sweating profusely at the side: "Miss, please wake up! Something serious has happened, someone is coming!"

Sang Luo knew that Song Wu was very tired after going to the palace today, but the current situation did not allow her to sleep any longer, so she put her hands on her waist and shouted, "Miss! Get up!"

Song Wu's eyelids fluttered several times, and he forced himself to wake up with great effort.

She asked tiredly, "What happened?"

Seeing her sit up, Xiao Kui breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss, go and take a look, you will know when you see it!"

Song Wu put on a purple gauze top and quickly walked out of the bedroom.

When she saw the situation in the yard, she was stunned.

I actually forgot about this!

There were four large boxes in the yard, each tied with red silk. She knew without opening the boxes that they contained a total of one thousand taels of silver.

Ji Bozhou came to propose to her!

Song Wu really wanted to know why she couldn't be reborn a day earlier, otherwise she wouldn't have to face this great humiliation today!

She was falsely accused of pushing Song Chuchu and was punished to go to the farm. On the day she left, she said something.

That is to beg Ji Bozhou to propose marriage on her birthday!

In fact, it was very difficult for her to say this that day.

But I was so heartbroken and helpless at that time that I regarded him as my life-saving straw.

No wonder when Ji Bozhou came to Wutong Garden before, he inexplicably said something about the previous request and the promise he made to me!

Song Wu sneered. In his previous life, he had come on the birthday he had promised, but in this life, he even deliberately missed his birthday. He must be even more dissatisfied with himself.

Because he looked down on her, even the betrothal gift was just a pitiful amount of silver. He wanted her to be seen as a cheap, vain woman who coveted power and wealth in the eyes of outsiders. Then, on the wedding day, he would carry her into the side door of the Marquis' Mansion in a sedan chair, openly crushing her self-esteem and face into the dust!

But in this life, I'm afraid Ji Bozhou will be disappointed.

Song Wu's face was filled with coldness. She crossed her arms and looked at Sang Luo and Xiao Kui: "Where is the person who brought the betrothal gifts?"

Sang Luo looked at her expression, feeling a little uneasy: "They all left half an incense stick ago."

"Then call a few people!" Her voice was cold, "Carry all these betrothal gifts back to the Yongping Marquis' Mansion!"

Before Sang Luo could answer, another person hurried over to the door, waving his hands as he ran: "Don't carry it back! Don't send it back! I'll have someone carry it away!"

Song Wu looked at Song Ming, who was running towards him panting, and suppressed the urge to curse: "Since the uncle already knew that I was elected as the Princess of Jin, why did he allow outsiders to directly enter the palace and bring betrothal gifts? The betrothal gifts are so insignificant, and there is no one in charge. Isn't this a slap in the face of the uncle?"

Song Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead, but his tone was surprisingly good: "You can't say that. The Earl's Mansion has always been on good terms with the Marquis' Mansion. If the Crown Prince hadn't been a little annoyed recently, it wouldn't have come to this!"

Then he ordered Shunzi, "Call a few people to carry these vulgar things to the backyard. Don't let them get in the way here!"

Song Wu laughed mockingly: "My Lord, aren't you worried that the Marquis' Mansion will be unhappy now?"

Thinking that she had just chosen Princess Jin, Song Ming didn't want to offend her. He just smiled awkwardly, "We have to find a way to solve this problem, right?"

Song Ming fled out of Wutong Garden along with the guards carrying the box.

That he is not worried about the Marquis' Mansion?

He's worried to death, okay?

The person who should have been chosen as the princess was not chosen, but Song Wu, a farm girl, became a hot commodity!

Moreover, he didn't know whether the Marquis' Mansion offered the betrothal gift after knowing that Song Wu was chosen as the princess, or whether they were unaware of it.

Now he is in a state of confusion!

The teacups in Song Chuchu's bedroom were broken into pieces all over the floor. Seeing the boxes of betrothal gifts being carried into Li's mistress's courtyard, she was so jealous that she went crazy!

Why was it that Song Wu, a lowly farm girl, was proposed to by Princess Jin and Ji Bozhou?

But she also knew that this was not the time to act on impulse, so she hurried to Li's room with sad steps.

Except for Song Chusi and the old lady who were unable to get out of bed due to being beaten with a stick, everyone was here now.

Li glanced angrily at Song Chushi, who had been pacing in front of her, and said unhappily, "Just because you've turned into a spinning top, does that mean things are going to turn around? You're really no match for your brother. Don't you even think of using your stupid brain to figure out how to solve this problem?"

Song Chushi sat down on the armchair with his hands propped up on his legs angrily: "Who told you not to rush to the Marquis' Mansion to report the news that Song Wu was chosen as the princess today? You are simply putting us on the fire! The key is that if my brother Ji finds out, he will definitely be furious!"

Song Ming sat opposite Li without saying a word. After the servant informed him that the Marquis' Mansion was coming to propose marriage, he hurried to Wutong Garden, but still did not see anyone from the Marquis' Mansion.

His mind was in a mess, and he felt that his and the Bo family's future were as if tied by a fishing line.

Song Chushi glanced at Song Ming and complained again, "Song Wu is the only one in our family who's happy now. If she becomes the Princess of Jin and leaves, the Bo Mansion will be in trouble. We don't know how the Marquisate will deal with us!"

The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing, as if the air had become thinner.

Song Chuchu suddenly spoke up: "There is a way to save the Bo Mansion."
