Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 216: The Frail and Delicate Cousin (15)

First of all, the eldest son of the Li family has real abilities and is a potential stock. He is also very good at dealing with people. If he can get help from the Prince Qi's Mansion, his future career will not be too bad.

Secondly, his family background was low compared to that of Prince Qi's Mansion, so he certainly wouldn't dare to treat Song Yurou harshly, and the other party also promised not to take a concubine.

As long as the Qi Wang Mansion's bloodline continues, Song Yurou can live a happy life without having to get involved in the disputes among the women in the backyard.

News of the two families' upcoming marriage soon spread from the outside world.

But Song Yurou was extremely dissatisfied with this marriage.

She looked down on the Li family.

So, at a banquet, when someone asked about the new number one scholar, she was dismissive:

"A pheasant that flew out of a mountain ravine dares to covet the golden phoenix? It's just wishful thinking."

At that time, a poetry competition was being held at the banquet. The champion won first place and was rewarded with an exquisitely carved crystal mirror. When he was about to give it to Song Yurou, Song Yurou sneered:

"This is just right for the number one scholar. Take a good look at yourself and see how much you weigh and what you are."

As soon as these words were spoken, the top scholar naturally became a laughing stock among the public. Whenever people mentioned him, they couldn't help but make fun of him by referring to a pheasant.

The top scholar could not bear this humiliation, so he took the initiative to sever ties with the Prince of Qi's Palace and later asked to be sent away.

However, he was also capable and had made remarkable political achievements, so he was transferred back to Beijing.

Since that incident, the marriages of the top scholar and his sister were delayed. He and his sister regarded Song Yurou as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh, wishing they could eat her alive.

So when Mu Zhou saw the brother and sister, a plan came to his mind immediately.

Sure enough, they lived up to everyone's expectations and made the matter a hot topic.

People around were also discussing in low voices.

"I heard that the people inside are the second daughter of Prince Qi's mansion and the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?"

"Yes, those two."

"This is really... It's not the first time for the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but why is the Second Miss of the Prince of Qi also..."

"So, it's said that the second young lady of Prince Qi's mansion came to the temple specifically to meditate and cultivate herself, but ended up doing something disrespectful to the Buddha here. Amitabha."

"Oh my, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's son is so young, but he already needs medication. It's said that several doctors have been in and out, but they still can't control the disease."

"Oh my, that's so embarrassing."

Mu Zhou held the handkerchief to his lips and wiped them gently, trying to hide the corners of his mouth that were trying to turn up.

She gave the Prince of Loyalty and Bravery the strongest medicine, which was extremely harmful to his body. After today, he was afraid that he would never be able to function again.

And this account can only be blamed on Song Yurou.

*

An hour later, everyone else was evacuated, leaving only the people from Prince Qi's mansion.

Song Yurou was already dressed, and was kneeling in the room with half of her face red and swollen, crying.

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was also crying and wailing beside her.

The Prince of Qi's Palace specially invited an imperial physician from the palace. The Prince of Zhongyong had overused medicine, which damaged his health and made him useless from then on.

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery hated Song Yurou because of this and blamed her for giving her son such a dangerous medicine.

Song Yurou originally wanted to argue, but the servant from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion produced the correspondence between the two during that period.

It was filled with Song Yu's tender and sincere seduction, and the words he used were extremely bold and wanton, making it difficult for her to defend herself.

The old lady and the first lady also looked ashamed and didn't want to look at it any longer.

Song Yurou knelt there at a loss.

When she saw Mu Zhou standing in the corner, her confused mind became a little clearer.

By the way, it’s Mu Zhou!

After they returned to the front hall, Song Yurou took great pains to coax them into the other courtyard, but she suddenly fainted. When she woke up again, she was caught by a group of people and the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

It must be Mu Zhou who is doing bad things!

She stood up and was about to pull Mu Zhou, but fortunately the nanny who was holding her down was quick-witted and restrained her again.

"Mu Zhou, you bitch, it must be you who hurt me. I want you to die!"

She cursed like a madman, causing the old lady to frown continuously.

Seeing this, the second wife hurriedly cooperated and pushed the blame onto Mu Zhou. Although she was still unclear about what had happened, she tried to shirk as much responsibility as possible.

But the old lady was no longer willing to listen to her.

"After you called Zhou'er out, she quickly returned to the front hall to chant sutras with me and never left again. Please don't always bother her."

The old lady was so angry that her face turned pale and she had to lean back in a chair to rest. The eldest lady hurriedly helped her to calm down and asked someone to boil medicine.

No one would believe Song Yurou's words at this time.

Mu Zhou, who was hiding behind the maid and nanny, had tears in his eyes, as if he was frightened, but when he looked up at Song Yurou, there was clearly a hint of provocation in his eyes.

This made Song Yurou struggle like crazy.

*

It went on until almost midnight.

In this matter, Song Yurou and the Prince of Zhongyong were both at fault. The old lady originally wanted Song Yurou to become a nun, to accompany the green lamp and ancient Buddha for the rest of her life, and to preserve her last reputation.

However, when the Prince of Zhongyong learned that he would no longer be able to have sex, he insisted on marrying Song Yurou.

He thought that Song Yurou had been lying to him from the beginning, that Mu Zhou had never come at all, and that she had deliberately drugged him in order to marry him, and then was caught.

I just didn't expect that the drug was too strong and made him inhumane.

With a man like this, no girl from a good family would be willing to marry him in the future.

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery also understood this.

Although Song Yurou had a bad reputation, she was the second daughter of Prince Qi's Mansion after all, so it would sound better if she said it out loud.

Moreover, the Prince of Zhongyong was also full of resentment at this time, and he was determined to marry her into his family.

In his own backyard, he can do whatever he wants.

But Song Yurou didn't want to get married at this time.

She knew that the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong and the Crown Prince must hate her, and she would not have a good life if she married into their family.

But she had no say in this matter.

Out of guilt, the old lady finally agreed to the marriage.

She nodded, and the Second Madam and Song Yurou collapsed completely to the ground.

*

It was getting late, so the people from Prince Qi's mansion decided to stay in the temple for one night.

In order to talk more with his mother, Mu Zhou lived with her.

At night, Song Wenchao, exhausted from his journey, finally arrived at the temple.

He was busy with government affairs during the day and was about to take the people back home, but he heard that something had happened and they had to stay in the temple for one night.

Song Wenchao was worried that something had happened to Mu Zhou, so he got on his horse and went to the temple.

Although he had received news halfway that Song Yurou was caught having a secret meeting, he was still worried and rushed all the way to the temple. He didn't even go to the old lady's place and went directly to Mu Zhou's residence.

He waved away the servants and walked straight to the door, but heard a conversation inside the house.

"Zhou'er, you will be eighteen next year. Your mother is incompetent and cannot choose a good marriage for you."

Xie Zhaoqing felt extremely guilty.

Mu Zhou, who was sitting next to her, had already heard from 0001 that Song Wenchao was outside the door.

She smiled slightly and comforted her mother: "Zhou'er is willing to honor her mother for the rest of her life and never marry."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Zhou'er? Prince Qi's Mansion is not your home after all."

Mu Zhou was startled, and his voice dropped a lot:

"I know I can't live in Prince Qi's mansion forever."

But soon her voice became lighter:

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely find a good marriage with a good man, and take you home with me later. In fact, today in the temple..."

Mu Zhou didn't say anything more, but instead fell shyly into his mother's arms: "Don't worry, mother, the old lady and the eldest lady are kind and will definitely help me check it."

At this time, Song Wenchao outside the door had a face so dark that it looked like ink was dripping out.
