Chapter 6 - Still Entered the Prince’s Residence

As a saying went, “Man proposes, God disposes.” Before Song Yixiao finished her show of burying the hatchet, because Madam Cao took some move or Madam Pang just hated her first granddaughter, Song Yixiao’s belongings and maids were sent to her with an excuse of Madam Pang—“I am so old now that I even have made two mistakes in choosing a daughter-in-law. How can I raise a granddaughter well?”

“Now that Song Yuan has been impeached for not being able to managing the family well and lost his job, he will bring me to an adjacent city to stay away from trouble… Since Yixiao is your precious treasure and her birth mother is in the ascendant, she will be at your hands then!”

If that was all, Song Yixiao could still continue pretending to be filial, “Since my father is bringing grandmother to an adjacent city, how can I not follow and take care of my grandmother and father?”

However, Madam Pang went even further, “There are precedents for the dowry of the legitimate daughter of the Song Family. Yixiao’s dowries are shown in the list. If you find nothing wrong after reviewing, take it for her then!”

She even offered the dowry in advance!

It was an evident gesture that she would never accept Song Yixiao anymore. What else could Song Yixiao say?

“Yixiao, don’t be sad. The Song Family is such a dangerous place for you. It’s lucky for you not to go back there!” Wei Ge saw the disappointment in her face and then comforted her, “Your mother will take you to the prince’s residence soon. That place is bigger and more beautiful than the Song’s dwelling. Who would prefer the Song’s dwelling?”

Song Yixiao did!

Song Yixiao really preferred the Song’s dwelling!

In the Song Family, she was a justifiable lady. She had even conceived a plan about taking down her grandmother and father, seizing the power and riding the high horse in the Song Family!

What a familiar and practical smooth path! She was so happy to only think about that after resurrection!

Now she was told that she was going to Prince of Hengshan’s residence, a totally strange place for her!

What a joke for her!

Song Yixiao thought sadly, “The aunties are so brutal that they even make Madam Liu miscarry. Is it too serious a blow for my grandmother?”

This was out of her expectation. After all, even Madam Pang at present didn’t expect the wives of the Wei Family to be so fierce! Yet, as what Madam Liu did was too vicious, her miscarriage was covered simply.

However, Song Yixiao didn’t feel guilty at all after learning about that. In the previous life, Madam Liu did give birth to the baby that was indeed a boy expected by Madam Pang. Yet, the baby was congenitally deficient so it died after being born for a few hours.

At that time, Madam Liu blamed Song Yixiao for her son’s death, claiming that Song Yixiao brought bad luck to her brother and got him killed. If it were not for Ms. Zhao who tried her best to protect her, Song Yixiao would be choked to death!

But now… “I would rather that he could be born safe and sound, even if he regarded me as a thorn in his eyes just like the second son of Madam Liu in the previous life! I really mean it!” Song Yixiao felt bitterly sorrowful, “It’s better than me being a drag!”

Nevertheless, it was too late for her to regret. The Song Family didn’t want her and the Wei Family didn’t feel like raising her. She had no other choice but Prince of Hengshan’s residence!

Three days later, Song Yixiao was brought to Prince of Hengshan’s residence. The Fourth Commandery Princess, Lu Kou’er asked out of curiosity, “Rumor has it that you were sold to a brothel by your stepmother. What is a brothel? Is it fun?”

Facing the surrounding smirking, Song Yixiao answered in fear, “I didn’t go there. That woman sent me to my grandmother’s dwelling!”

“Oh…” Lu Kou’er appeared disappointed when Madam Jin, the second young mistress raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, saying sneeringly, “Kou’er, you are so silly. How can a lady of the Song Family talk of such a thing in public? If you really want to know about it, you should ask her in private!”

Wei Mengying, who was serving beside the dowager consort, frowned and said, “Yixiao was sent to the Wei Family by the woman. Madam Jin, what did you mean?”

Madam Jin put on a grieved face, “I share your thought! Just because Kou’er is too young and she puts forward an improper question the first day Lady Yixiao comes to our house, I only want to smooth the matter over!”

She turned to the dowager consort grinningly, “Grandma, you know, I am sharp-tongued but not malicious. Unexpectedly, my good will has offended my stepmother. Please help plead with her for me and ask her to spare me on this!”

She uttered every word clearly, especially the syllable of “step.”

Wei Mengying flied into a rage but she had to grip her napkin tightly and put up with it because of what the dowager consort said—“As a senior, why do you intervene with the matter among kids?”

However, she put up with it but Madam Jin reached out for yard after taking an inch, saying, “Grandma, you are right! Lady Yixiao and I are peers! Stepmother, we are having a peer conversation. Now that you’ve intervened, I will not dare to play with Lady Yixiao. Therefore, you should not worry too much. You ought to talk when time fits and you had better have a rest when time doesn’t. Okay?”

Wei Mengying’s face was ghastly pale! No matter how she feared the dowager consort, provoked by her daughter-in-law again and again in public, if she didn’t make any move, how could she gain a foothold in the prince’s residence?

Instantly she said, “Although you two are peers, you have been married. How can you still regard yourself as a girl? Then how can I and your father expect you to look after Guanqun?”

She snorted and looked at a pretty servant girl beside her, “Guanqun is studying assiduously now, without a considerate person taking care of him. Your father and I are really worried! Since you are still as innocent as a young girl after being married for two years, Linu, look after the young master later for me then!”

Madam Jin was stupefied, “You…”

She turned to the dowager consort immediately. However, before she said anything, Madam Kong, the first young mistress suddenly said, “Alas! Is it time that Marquis Yuan and his sister arrive now?”

“Yes!” Wei Mengying looked at her with satisfaction and fixed her hair, saying to the dowager consort smilingly, “Since we are receiving the honorable guests, we shall not leave Yixiao here. Can she be excused?”

The dowager consort glimpsed at her and Madam Jin, saying causally, “Then clean the Hanxia Villa for her to reside!”

Wei Mengying immediately stopped smiling!

A delight crossed Madam Jin’s eyes. She immediately said, “The Hanxia Villa is situated in the flowers and trees, which faces the lake too. How kind Grandma is to let Lady Yixiao live in such a good place! You are so nice to this abandoned kid! Am I right, Stepmother?”

“That place is quiet. I suppose that after going through those things, Yixiao must dislike noisiness.” The dowager consort didn’t respond to Madam Jin. Instead, she held her favorite grandson, Lu Guanlun, saying in an unhurried way, “What do you think?”

Wei Mengying felt the determination of her mother-in-law and realized that it was a revenge act to show her dissatisfaction for arranging a girl for Madam Jin’s husband. Wei Mengying thought carefully and didn’t dare to offend the dowager consort openly and said with her head lowered, “You are so nice to Yixiao. What else can I say?”

“I knew it! I wouldn’t live a good life under others’ roof!” Song Yixiao was rather depressed, “It’s okay if the place is remote. Don’t tell me that someone used to die there before…”
