Chapter 846 Underestimating Potential
Chapter 846 Underestimating Potential
Seeing her fourth brother's nervous expression, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't worry, Madam Zhao is indeed not someone to be trifled with, but if she tries to cause trouble during Third Brother's wedding, even if everyone sympathizes with General Zhao's death, they will not forgive her."
If it weren't for this marriage, Prince Gong's mansion would never have been able to prove that Chu Qingli wasn't destined to bring misfortune to her husbands, and they wouldn't have been in such a passive position all this time.
Now, it's time for her third sister-in-law to make a spectacular comeback.
"That's good. If you say it's nothing, then it's nothing," Song Jingshen said with a smile.
Song Ruozhen smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Fourth Brother trusts me that much?"
"If I don't believe you, who will I believe? Besides, you are now the Princess Consort of Chu. In this vast capital city, who doesn't know that the Prince of Chu's status is extraordinary? How dare you offend him so easily?"
Song Jingshen looked smug, knowing that the Prince of Chu had always been a figure no one dared to provoke in the capital.
If it weren't for the fact that he married his own sister, which brought them closer, he would never have dared to provoke him before.
Song Ruozhen glanced at him and said indignantly, "So after all this time, you don't believe me, you believe Jun Ting?"
Song Jingshen laughed heartily, "Just because the prince dotes on you so much, offending you would probably have more serious consequences than offending him."
"By the way, Huan'er is pregnant now. I heard my mother saying the other day, 'Why aren't you pregnant yet?'"
Song Ruozhen asked in confusion, "I didn't hear my mother mention this matter when I came back this time."
"Your mother doesn't dare to say it in front of you, worried that it will put pressure on you, but when you're not around, she talks about it all the time, which is quite interesting."
Song Jingshen found it amusing to recall his mother's nagging a few days ago. In the past, his mother never hesitated to scold the four of them, but she was most fond of and most restrained when dealing with their fifth sister.
Song Ruozhen smiled and said, "Mother doesn't need to worry about this at all. Having a child is a matter of fate; what's meant to come will come."
"That's what I said too, but that's how elders are; they worry about us all the time."
These past two days, Mother has been extremely anxious about my third brother's wedding, especially today; she was so worried she didn't even eat.
Upon hearing this, Song Ruozhen immediately instructed Chenxiang to buy some of her mother's favorite foods and send them to the mansion.
"Fifth Sister, what should we do next?" Song Jingshen asked. The Qiu family's matter had been resolved, but it was clear that this matter was not over yet.
Song Ruozhen's lips curled slightly, "Next, we're going to see a good show. This crucial step requires our personal involvement!"
Song Jingshen blinked, knowing from his fifth sister's expression that there was going to be a good show.
After making their decision, the Qiu family immediately adopted a unified narrative.
Fortunately, apart from the few people involved, none of the servants in the mansion knew about this, so it was easy to cover it up.
At the request of Marquis Qiu, Madam Qiu immediately went to the storeroom to select many gifts to apologize, and then the family set off for Prince Gong's Mansion in a grand manner.
Before setting off, Qiu Hou repeatedly emphasized, "This has never happened before; someone is deliberately spreading rumors."
Now we are the ones who have let down Prince Gong and Miss Chu. Do you remember that?
"Father, rest assured, your son understands."
Qiu Xingxue nodded earnestly. At this moment, he had no complaints in his heart; on the contrary, he was filled with anticipation for the future.
"Upon arriving at Prince Gong's Mansion, my son will kneel down and sincerely apologize, begging for the forgiveness of Prince Gong's family!"
Lord Qiu glanced at Qiu Xingxue. He had previously thought that his son was not bad and had some potential, but he had not paid much attention to him.
It wasn't until this incident happened that he suddenly realized he had underestimated the kid's potential.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Song family was also engaged to Prince Gong's family, this young man might have actually married Prince Gong's daughter, and their family's status could have been secured through this marriage.
Although they are unlucky now and have come up empty-handed, Prince Gong, the Song family, and even the Chu Prince's Mansion have all done them a favor, which may be of great help in the future!
"Good, good, you must do your best." Qiu Hou patted Qiu Xingxue on the shoulder with satisfaction.
This was the first time Qiu Xingxue had felt his father's satisfaction with him. Over the years, he had always been overshadowed by his older brother, but now he clearly noticed the change in his father's attitude.
The Queen Consort of Chu is right, his luck will definitely turn around!
……
Prince Gong's Palace.
Prince Gong and Jia Yueying only knew that Song Zhiyu had promised that the matter would be resolved, but they still had some doubts about how it would be resolved.
“Over the years, we haven’t offended anyone, especially in the last two years, I’ve had very little contact with outsiders.”
If anyone was involved in shady dealings during the marriage, I can't think of anyone other than Madam Zhao!
Jia Yueying gritted her teeth, "It must be that old shrew. I thought she was elegant and easy to get along with, but it turns out it was all an act."
When I fought with her before, I wasn't ruthless enough. I should have skinned her alive. How could there be such a vicious woman?
Her son died; it's a misfortune for their family. My daughter isn't even married yet, and they insist on throwing this mud at Qingli!
"And those other ladies from noble families are all no good either!"
They usually pretend to be so discerning, but this is clearly none of Qingli's business, yet they foolishly believe it. Just seeing them makes me furious!
Seeing that Jia Yueying was getting angrier and angrier, Prince Gong quickly said, "Calm down first. It's not worth getting sick over these people."
The imperial physician previously said that your anger had affected your heart; if this continued, your health would be in danger.
Jia Yueying sighed, "I do want to not be angry, but look at all these things, how can I not be angry?"
"This is all my fault. Even if the Song family can't solve it, I will do everything in my power to make Qingli and Song Sanlang's marriage happen. Don't worry!"
Prince Gong looked at his wife with heartache, and was so regretful that he wanted to slap himself twice. What kind of thing had he done?
Jia Yueying had been holding her breath ever since the incident, and it wasn't until she heard Prince Gong's words that her resentment finally dissipated.
"You know how hard Qingli has been all these years. She has gone from an innocent and carefree girl to someone who is always looking worried. As her mother, I feel so sorry for her!"
She's actually very strong; most other girls probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
Now that she's finally found a good match, Song Sanlang is the one who can protect her.
