Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 393

It was Song Yong and his two servants who arrived.

As soon as Song Yong entered the capital, he heard that Princess Pingkang had been stripped of her title, all her property had been confiscated, and even her mansion was gone.

The specific reason is unclear, but the official explanation is that Princess Pingkang committed a serious mistake that angered the emperor.

But Song Yong knew that given Princess Pingkang's previous status and privileges, she had been able to get away with so many murders, yet now she had been demoted to a commoner. This meant that she must have committed a heinous crime, even more serious than murder.

Just two weeks prior, a palace coup had occurred in Kyoto, with the former Marquis of Changguo, Chu Jinxun, staging a coup, but it was suppressed.

Princess Pingkang...could she be involved in this matter?

Since Song Yong had no Grand Princess's residence to return to, he could only go back to the Song family.

Before he even reached the Song family's door, Wan Minsi rushed towards him with overwhelming joy.

He almost didn't recognize the other person.

The Song family would never support Wan Minsi in continuing her extravagant lifestyle. Now that she no longer wears gold and silver brocade, no longer wears jeweled jewelry, no longer uses the finest cosmetics, she has lost all her elegant and noble demeanor.

She looked old, her body was bloated, her nose was crooked, and half of her teeth were missing, making her face appear gaunt. She was just an ordinary, even rather ugly, woman in her forties or fifties.

Song Yong looked at Wan Minsi with only cold disgust in his eyes.

But Wan Minsi didn't see it; she was filled with excitement and tears streamed down her face.

Song Yong looked travel-worn, thinner and darker, which must have been quite a hardship in the south.

But she didn't feel disgusted at all, only heartache!

"Song Lang...you're finally back...Do you know how much I've missed you, how worried I've been about you...I've been begging the Emperor to release you from the south...I can lose everything, but I can't lose you..."

As Wan Minsi cried and recounted her story, she threw herself into Song Yong's arms.

Song Yong took a step back, causing Wan Minsi to miss her target.

He asked coldly, "What exactly did you do wrong? How did you end up being demoted to a commoner?"

Wan Minsi paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, her voice filled with grievance, "I did it all for you! I was afraid you would suffer in the south, so I begged the Emperor to let you return, but he refused no matter what, so I..."

Song Yong stared at her incredulously: "So you participated in the rebellion?"

He knows it!

If Wan Minsi hadn't committed an unforgivable crime, she wouldn't have ended up in this state no matter what she did!

Wan Minsi felt even more aggrieved: "What else can I do! I'm doing all this for you! The Emperor plans to never let you come back, how can I leave you alone in the south!"

As she spoke, tears welled in her eyes, and she reached out to hug Song Yong again.

"But it's okay, as long as we're both safe and sound, as long as we're still together, I don't care about anything else... You're all I have now..."

But this time, Song Yong pushed her away forcefully!

Wan Minsi staggered back two steps after being pushed, and finally realized Song Yong's strange behavior, staring at him in shock.

"Song Lang, you..."

Song Yong snapped in disgust, "Don't call me Song Lang! It's nauseating!"

Wan Minsi could hardly believe her ears.

She stared wide-eyed at Song Yong, stammering, "Song Lang... what's wrong with you?...?"
