The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Song Xiwan was about to answer.

Xu's personal maid Chunxiu hurried in to report, "Madam, the Zhang family has sent someone to propose marriage. The old lady wants you to come over."

Xu was surprised. "You're proposing marriage so soon?"

A sneer flashed in Song Xiwan's eyes.

The Zhang family is still so fast, and this family is not easy to deal with. Her father almost lost his career when he rejected the marriage for her.

Afterwards, Song Xiwan married into Prince Xuan's mansion, and not long after, Zhang Kunling also got married. Not only did this man frequent brothels every day, he also beat his wife to death in less than half a year.

This person is a perfect match for Song Lingxi!

Song Xiwan pretended to be curious, "What did grandma want my mother to do?"

Chunxiu blinked in confusion. Is this even necessary to ask?

"The second young lady locked herself in her room and cried, saying that she would rather die than marry into the Zhang family. The old lady wanted the first lady to reject the marriage."

"Ah? What about Second Aunt?"

Song Xiwan's continuous questions made Xu realize that something was wrong.

"Xi Wan doesn't want Mom to go?"

Of course Song Xiwan didn't want to.

But she also knew that her mother was really worried about Song Lingxi, so she could only remind her in a tactful way.

"I know that A Niang treats Ling Xi very well, but marriage is ultimately a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. If A Niang intervenes and the news gets out, outsiders will accuse A Niang of being overbearing."

Xu had been concerned about Lingxi's affairs for more than ten years and had long been accustomed to it, and had never thought of this aspect.

This really isn't her business.

Xu said to Chunxiu, "Go and ask the Second Madam to come forward."

Chunxiu responded and went to the second room.

Not long after, Nanny Li, who was by the old lady's side, came.

"Madam, the old lady invites you."

Xu frowned and asked, "Did you say why?"

The nanny shook her head, but Song Xiwan had already seen through the second wife's tricks and used the old lady's prestige to pressure her mother to come forward and reject Song Lingxi's marriage proposal.

There are no doors!

Xu didn't dare to delay, so she had to stand up and was about to tell Xiwan to have a good rest.

"The weather is nice today. I'd like to accompany my mother to pay my respects to Grandmother, Madam Li. Is that all right?"

Xu was stunned and a little hesitant.

Nanny Li was still afraid of the whipping last night, so how could she dare to say no?

So, Song Xiwan took Xu's arm and went to the old lady's yard.

Meng was there too.

These two people are controlling her mother.

The old lady's face darkened when she saw Song Xiwan. "Why are you here?"

"I heard Lingxi is getting engaged, so I came here to share in the good cheer."

Song Xiwan spoke frankly.

Meng's expression changed, and she put on a stiff smile. "What nonsense are you talking about, young lady? Young Master Zhang was trying to save someone. They were both innocent. You shouldn't say that."

"Second Aunt, of course I understand the truth, but people outside don't believe it."

Song Xiwan responded with a forced smile.

Meng's face looked even uglier.

But now Mrs. Meng had no time to argue with this little bastard, because the people from the Zhang family were still waiting in the front hall!

She looked at Xu with a humble attitude, "Sister-in-law, I heard that you are unwilling to refuse the marriage for Lingxi? But what did Lingxi do wrong to make you unhappy?"

Song Xiwan watched coldly, what a good pretense.

"What? Lingxi wants to refuse the marriage? It would be bad for her reputation, right? And, Second Aunt, the Zhang family proposed the marriage to Second Uncle's family. How could you let my mother come forward to refuse the marriage?"

These words, which pretended to be surprised but were full of thorns, made Meng's eyes flash with cruelty.

Meng said weakly, "This, this is what mother meant. After all, my eldest sister-in-law is the mistress of the Song family."

Song Xiwan looked at her coldly.

He even put on a high hat, how shameless!

"Second Aunt, you're worrying too much. Marriage is a matter of parents' and matchmaker's decision. If you don't want Lingxi to marry, can the Zhang family still force her to marry you?"

Meng was very angry at this sharp-tongued guy.

The old lady was equally displeased and warned in a deep voice, "That's enough! How can you interrupt an elder when he's talking?!"

Song Xiwan not only refused to give in, but her attitude was even colder and harder. "Grandmother, since you know that Xiwan has an unruly character and needs to be properly disciplined, then please don't burden my mother with the affairs of my second uncle's family."

A'niang has a gentle nature and always puts filial piety to her mother-in-law first.

But doing so would only hurt herself.

"You bastard, you're still so stubborn! Do you even have me, your grandmother, in your eyes? Has any noblewoman in the capital ever been as rude as you?"

The old lady slammed the table in anger.

Song Xiwan laughed, "Grandma really loves to joke. I just returned to my roots a few days ago. How can I be considered a noble lady?"

"you!"

The old lady was so angry that her body swayed twice.

Xu quickly reminded her, "Xiwan, you can't talk to grandma like that."

The old lady felt a little relieved when she saw Xu standing on her side.

"There has never been such a disobedient and absurd person in my Song family. I am doing this for her own good. From today on, I should let the disciplinary nanny teach her the rules!"

Song Xiwan looked cold.

In her previous life, the disciplinary nanny tortured her to death and punished her at every turn, but she endured it again and again, just wanting to get the old lady's approval.

After going through so much, Song Xiwan felt that her previous compromise was a joke!

"No need."

Unexpectedly, A Niang was the first to refuse.

The old lady's face turned pale. "Lanzhi, please don't be confused! If she is not taught well, how can she be worthy of the status of the Song family's legitimate daughter in the future!?"

Xu shook her head and said, "Mother, I will personally teach Xiwan. Lingxi is the daughter of the second wife after all, and I can't interfere in everything. Besides, the Zhang family can't force Lingxi to marry her no matter what."

She thought carefully about Xi Wan's words and felt that they made sense.

Besides, the old lady’s dislike for Xi Wan just now made Xu feel a little disappointed.

"Sister-in-law!"

Meng cried out in disbelief.

The old lady was so anxious that she blurted out, "How can you ignore Lingxi's affairs for this bastard!?"

Song Xiwan's expression became even more sarcastic.

"Grandma, if you don't know, you might think Lingxi is my mother's daughter."

The old lady choked and felt a little guilty when she saw Xu's slightly disappointed look.

But she still said coldly: "Lingxi has been filial to her for more than ten years on your behalf. It is not reasonable for you to treat Lingxi like this!"

Xu was shaken.

In the past, she did make up for her debt to Xi Wan on Lingxi most of the time, and she definitely had some love for her child.

Meng smiled bitterly and said, "Never mind. Now that my sister-in-law has found Xiwan, it's inevitable that she won't care about Lingxi as much anymore. It's my fault for not knowing the limits."

Xu felt even more guilty.

"I, that's not what I meant..."

Song Xiwan smiled sweetly, "What are you talking about, Second Aunt and Grandmother? My father and mother used to treat Lingxi like the apple of their eyes. Why do you think she has suffered some great injustice?"

It feels so good to be a fool. You can say whatever you want. Why didn’t she realize this in her previous life?

Meng's face was twisted with anger.

The old lady glared at Song Xiwan, "Shut up!"

Then, she directly ordered Xu, "I told you to refuse the marriage, and you did! Or now you don't even listen to me?"
