Chapter 304: Uncle 2, did something happen?
With envoys from various countries entering the capital, and the troublesome Ye Wenshan to be dealt with, Song Yunxi has been very busy these days. It is rare that she could find time to go to the Bachelor's Mansion before the Spring Festival.
"How are Second Uncle and Second Aunt these days?"
Song Shaoyuan thrived in the cabinet, and his talents were greatly appreciated by Emperor Qinglong. Song Yunxi felt that he would definitely become an important figure in the cabinet and even in the court in the future.
"Yunxi, you are here!"
Seeing Song Yunxi, Song Shaoyuan's wife Meng held her hand tightly and tears fell like a dam breaking.
Song Shaoyuan couldn't help but scold: "Yunxi rarely comes home, what are you doing?"
Song Yunxi looked at Song Shaoyuan: "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, what happened?"
Meng was the marriage arranged for Song Shaoyuan by Madam Song when she was still alive. Given Madam Song's narrow-minded character, it was impossible for her to find a wife with outstanding talent, appearance and ability for Song Shaoyuan. However, she did not want to be criticized by the old Marquis Wenyuan and outsiders for being harsh to her illegitimate son as a legitimate mother, so she found Meng, who was also a illegitimate daughter.
Compared with Song Shaoyuan, who looked like Pan An, Meng's talent and appearance were indeed pale in comparison. In addition, the suppression by her stepmother and sisters made her even more timid and petty.
But even so, after Song Shaoyuan married her, he gave his wife enough respect and love, and promised not to take a concubine.
Although Meng was not satisfactory in all aspects, she was a sincere person. Since her marriage, she had always put her husband first. She followed Song Shaoyuan to the remote area without any hesitation and suffered a lot. She also managed the inner house in order.
The couple fell in love with each other over time. Even though Meng did not get pregnant again after giving birth to two daughters, Song Shaoyuan just laughed off the advice of his colleagues to take a concubine. He also sternly rejected the beauties who were sent to him.
Over the past ten years, not only has Mrs. Meng not shown any signs of aging, but she has become even more elegant and charming. This shows how much Song Shaozhang loves and respects her, and also how well he protects her.
Meng wiped her tears: "Not yet..."
"Sister, you are here!"
Meng's words were interrupted by Song Jinxin who came rushing over.
Although Song Jinxin tried her best to maintain a relaxed smile, the worry between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows still could not be dispelled.
Song Yunxi was quite worried: "Second Uncle, did something happen?"
"Ugh!"
Song Shaoyuan sighed helplessly: "It's all my negligence."
Meng just kept crying, but Song Jinxin calmly explained the matter clearly.
During the time when the envoys came to the capital, the night market in the capital was extremely prosperous and lively in order to demonstrate the prosperity and stability of the capital. When the Song sisters were out, they were molested by a bully and were coincidentally rescued by Ye Xuanrong who was also visiting the night market.
Originally, because of what happened at the palace banquet, the Song sisters had no good impression of Ye Xuanrong. But somehow Ye Xuanrong said something to Song Jinyi that changed her opinion of him drastically. Not only did she correspond with Ye Xuanrong in private, but she also went out to meet him many times without telling her family.
If Song Jinxin had not keenly noticed her sister's abnormality, the fact that Song Jinyi and Ye Xuanrong had met in private would probably have been kept secret for a while.
"My father was very angry when he found out and confined her to reflect on her behavior. I also tried to persuade her, but..."
Song Jinxin shook her head in great worry and pain. She didn't know what kind of poison Ye Xuanrong had put on her sister, and she always protected him and only cared about him.
"Jinyi, are you crazy? Do you know that the Sixth Prince and the uncle's family are in cahoots? He is in love with Song Muxue and wants to kill my elder sister. Are you doing justice to my elder sister by secretly associating with him like this?"
"Let's take a step back and say that he likes Song Muxue so much, how could he treat you sincerely? Have you ever thought about why he approaches you?"
Song Jinxin thought she could scold her sister to wake her up, but she said cheerfully, "Sister, we misunderstood the Sixth Prince. He just had some misunderstandings with you. He promised me that he would find a chance to apologize to you in the future and ask for your forgiveness."
"And the relationship between him and Song Muxue is not what we think. Song Muxue is his cousin's beloved. The three of them grew up together and naturally have a closer relationship. What's more, Song Muxue has already married Shen Zhikang."
"The Sixth Prince also promised me that if I really don't like her, he will stop associating with Song Muxue."
Song Jinxin: “…”
With this ignorant look on her face that thinks she is happy, is she really the same sister who told her not long ago that men are useless?
Song Jinxin sighed helplessly: "Father has confined her, but she has no intention of giving up. Father can't keep her locked up forever."
Mrs. Meng wiped her tears and said, "Why is she so confused? Not to mention that the Sixth Prince has evil intentions and is plotting to murder Yun Xi, even if he has no problems with his character, what good is there in marrying into the royal family?"
Although Meng was indeed timid and ignorant, she still had a thorough understanding of the important matter of women's marriage.
She never thought of letting her two daughters marry into a wealthy family. She only hoped that they could marry men with good character and a willingness to make progress, and that they could live a stable and ordinary life with their spouses.
Marrying into a high-class royal family, watching your husband taking concubines one after another, and having to act like a mistress of the house without getting angry or complaining, how can there be happiness in such a life?
The key thing is that this matter concerns Song Yunxi. This niece is the savior of their entire family. For this reason alone, she cannot bear to see her daughter repay kindness with enmity.
Song Shaoyuan snorted coldly, and a resolute look appeared on his elegant and handsome face: "Humph, if she insists on getting involved with the Sixth Prince, I will pretend that I never gave birth to his daughter!"
"Don't worry, Uncle. Things may not be out of control."
Song Yunxi comforted them: "Jinyi is a person with her own ideas. Ye Xuanrong is deceiving her and causing her to lose her judgment. I believe that as long as she can see clearly what kind of person Ye Xuanrong is, she will definitely draw a clear line with him."
She didn't know that Ye Xuanrong had secretly set his sights on Song Jinxin's sisters.
But this doesn't seem like something that a moron like Ye Xuanrong would think of. It must be Shen Zhikang and Song Muxue.
These two pieces of trash are really omnipresent!
After comforting Meng and letting her go back to her room to rest, Song Shaoyuan and Song Yunxi went to the study, and Song Jinxin followed.
"Father, your daughter has grown up. It's time for me to share your worries."
Song Yunxi looked at Song Jinxin and Song Shaoyuan's faces, which were quite similar, and said with a smile: "Second Uncle, let the eldest sister come in!"
Compared with Song Jinxin, Song Jinyi looks more like Meng, and her appearance is indeed not as good as her biological sister.
In the eyes of people who don't know their identities, Song Yunxi and Song Jinxin look more like real sisters from the same mother.
It’s just that Song Yunxi and Song Shaoyuan look more similar.
