Chapter 324: Someone in the General’s Mansion wants to get married?
When Song Muxue heard the imperial decree granting the marriage, she completely collapsed. She had never expected that she had actually let a wolf into the house.
But what made her even more sad and disappointed was Shen Zhikang's attitude.
"Brother Zhikang, you said that no matter whether I am your wife or concubine, you will only have me as your woman, so why did you marry Princess Changle?"
She knew very well that with Princess Changle's arrogance, if she became Shen Zhikang's principal wife, would she still have a place in the An Ning Marquis's Mansion?
More importantly, she didn't want to share Shen Zhikang with anyone.
Shen Zhikang pushed her away in disgust: "If I don't marry her, do you want me to disobey your order?"
After saying that, he ignored her and walked away.
Looking at his heartless back, Song Muxue felt dazed, as if she had never really known Shen Zhikang.
Or rather, she had some doubts as to whether the Shen Zhikang in this life was the same person as the Shen Zhikang who had been deeply in love with her in her previous life.
In their previous life, they were obviously loving and sweet, and he had always been very caring towards her. Even when he later became powerful and many women offered to be his concubines, he righteously rejected them all and told everyone with a decisive attitude that he, Shen Zhikang, would only have Song Muxue as his wife in this life, and would not take concubines or maids.
She is the envy of all the women in the capital, the happiest woman in the entire capital... no, in the entire Jin'an.
But in this new life, she clearly had the upper hand, so why did everything change?
She was unwilling to accept it, but apart from resentment, she didn't know what she should do to get herself out of this predicament.
Song Yunxi!
It must be that bitch who stole the luck that belonged to her.
Thinking of Song Yunxi, who was becoming more and more successful and in sharp contrast to herself, Song Muxue became more certain of her idea.
As long as she destroyed Song Yunxi or snatched away Song Yunxi's luck, she would still be the Song Muxue in her previous life who was loved by everyone and envied by everyone.
Seeing her crying desperately, Qiuyue stepped forward to comfort her at the right time, and angrily spoke up for Song Muxue: "Princess Changle doesn't want to marry the prince at all. I don't understand why the emperor must issue an order to grant the marriage."
Song Muxue's crying stopped abruptly: "How do you know that the princess doesn't want to marry the prince?"
Ever since the two were caught in bed, she has been in grief and anger. Before she could recover, she completely collapsed because of the marriage decree. So she believed that Princess Changle seduced Shen Zhikang with the intention of marrying him because she had nowhere to go.
But Qiuyue's words calmed her down, and she looked at Qiuyue steadily: "Do you know something?"
Qiuyue said indignantly, "It's said outside that the person the princess likes is the eldest son of the Imperial Master's Mansion. He almost killed the eldest daughter in the palace and escaped because he was humiliated for expressing his love to the eldest son, and in a fit of rage, he injured the eldest daughter."
Is there such a thing?
Song Muxue only knew that Princess Changle didn't like Song Yunxi, and she also knew that she stabbed Song Yunxi. She thought it was just because she was jealous that Song Yunxi had taken away the attention and love that should have belonged to her, but she never thought that it was actually because of Qin Xubai.
The image of a man in a crescent-shaped white gown, who looked like a banished immortal and was untainted by the mundane world, appeared in my mind, and my heart skipped a beat.
Who wouldn't like a man like that?
I have to say that Princess Changle has a really good vision.
"Before, Mr. Qin was in poor health, so the princess never thought much about him. But now Mr. Qin is in good health. I heard that the princess came to the capital just to marry him."
Song Muxue thought of the letters she had exchanged with Princess Changle in the past, and it seemed that they were all subtly asking her about Qin Xubai.
But at that time she was only concerned with inciting Princess Changle to dislike Song Yunxi, and did not pay attention to this detail.
Princess Changle likes Qin Xubai. This news is undoubtedly like timely rain for Song Muxue, giving her hope again.
No longer feeling the sadness and despair just now, he whispered something in Qiuyue's ear.
"Miss, this is not good, right?"
Qiuyue was extremely worried and uneasy: "If the prince or Prince Yu knew about this..."
"They won't know."
Song Muxue raised the corner of her lips with great confidence: "Besides, everything was done by Princess Changle. She disregarded the face of Prince Yu, Brother Zhikang, and even the emperor. What does it have to do with me? I didn't do anything."
Song Yunxi received Qiuyue's message and looked at Ye Xuanqi with a smile: "Song Muxue really can't sit still."
Then he told Qing He: "Tell Qiu Yue to do everything according to Song Mu Xue's instructions."
Qing He took the order and left. Song Yunxi looked at Qin Xubai who was playing the piano comfortably not far away and smiled slyly: "I feel sorry for making it difficult for my brother to deal with his crazy admirer."
He said sorry, but the expression on his face didn't show any apology at all. He really didn't mean it.
Ye Xuanqi raised his eyebrows and said, "My cousin has been at ease for too long. I don't think he will care about such a small trouble."
Song Yunxi nodded in agreement: "That's right!"
Qin Xubai suddenly felt a chill on his back for no reason and subconsciously wrapped his cloak tighter.
Song Yunxi and Qin Xubai came out of the palace and returned to the Imperial Master's Mansion. They were attracted by the noise outside and asked the coachman to stop the car.
He lifted the curtain and looked outside: "Why is it so lively?"
Qin Xubai also took a look and found that they happened to stop outside General Dingguo's Mansion. The General Dingguo Mansion, which had been deserted for more than ten years, was now full of people. It was a lively scene that was unfamiliar to him.
Qin Xubai frowned subconsciously.
Song Yunxi saw all of his behavior and ordered Qinghe outside: "Go and ask what happened in General Dingguo's mansion."
Qing He took the order and left. After a moment, she came back in a panic: "Miss, something terrible has happened!"
"What's got you so flustered?"
Qing He looked at Qin Xubai with an ambiguous look in her eyes. She swallowed nervously and finally mustered up the courage to speak out: "I have found out that someone...someone came to the General's Mansion to deliver the dowry."
"Sending a dowry?"
Song Yunxi was puzzled: "Someone in the general's mansion wants to get married?"
Qin Xubai also frowned after hearing Qinghe's words.
Song Yunxi looked confused: "Now there are only the old general and General Qin and his son in the general's mansion. Could it be that General Qin is going to marry a second wife?"
"Mrs. Qin has passed away for more than ten years. General Qin should marry a second wife. The mansion cannot be without a mistress forever."
Although this guess is reasonable, Qin Xubai always feels that this cannot be the reason.
Especially Qinghe's vague gaze always made him feel that perhaps the farce of delivering the dowry in General Dingguo's mansion today was related to him.
Sure enough, Qing He shook her head and said, "It's not that General Qin wants to marry a second wife."
Fearing that his young lady would say something shocking again, he added, "He's not an old general either."
