Chapter 1016: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One Hundred and Thirty-eight)
Qingli had no affection for Song Chen, but Song Chen was her stepmother after all. Filial piety was valued in ancient times. If she died suddenly, it would involve mourning, which would affect both her and her brother, including her marriage and her brother's official position, so she should stay alive for the time being.
When Song Chen returned to the main courtyard, her confidant asked her when she would go to Baiyun Temple. She simply shook her head and said she would not go.
"Aren't you afraid that if you were in the mansion, that person would threaten you with the young lady again? You even wanted to stay away from him and politely reject him."
Mrs. Song Chen shook her head and said, "I'm afraid if I push him too far, he might kill me in a rage. That would be so unfortunate for me."
Her confidant nodded and said, "Madam, what you said is absolutely true, but what should we do now? If we don't tell the Prime Minister about this, he will surely save her. Didn't you say yesterday that the Master was asking if you were hiding something from him? Why don't you take this opportunity to complain?"
Song Chen quickly shook her head.
Because she had something to hide, she was somewhat unnatural when facing Prime Minister Song, which was noticed by Prime Minister Song. She made an excuse that she had a headache recently.
She didn't tell everything to her confidant, only saying that someone had captured her daughter and threatened her to kill the master. Once she told the truth to the master, the mastermind would kill Song Qingting.
In fact, the letter from the person behind the scenes clearly stated that it was her daughter who was behind the scenes, talking nonsense and threatening that person, which led to the assassination.
The man threatened her that if she didn't find an opportunity to kill Prime Minister Song, he would kill her daughter and expose what her daughter had done, so that she, Song Qingting's biological mother, would be disliked by the Prime Minister.
That man forced her to betray the Prime Minister. Otherwise, when the matter was exposed and the Prime Minister investigated the mastermind of the assassination, she would not end up well.
Having said that, Song Chen really didn't dare to harm the master. They had been married for many years. Regardless of whether they had feelings for each other, the huge mansion and the life of luxury were not something she could do anything about.
Now that her master is dead, she has to make a living with her stepson. Her biological daughter is a loser and a hopeless piece of shit, so she can't rely on Song Qingting.
Even if she really wanted to kill Prime Minister Song, she didn't have the ability! Everything in the palace was done according to the rules, and there were few things she could interfere with, and drugging him was even more difficult.
Song Chen had no choice but to take things one step at a time. As for her daughter's life or death, she felt that she could not even protect herself and could not do anything about it.
What's more, when Song Chen thought of the assassination, she hated her daughter so much. If her own daughter didn't care about her life or death, why should she care so much?
Perhaps Song Qingting was being pampered and well-fed, and the imprisonment and hostages were just a means of deceiving her. Song Chenshi didn't want to kill her husband, but she also felt guilty for not saving her daughter.
"After much thought, I felt that Ting'er must still be in Huangjue Temple, and the letter must be fake.
Well, to be honest, Ting'er has changed so much that I really think she is possessed by a ghost. But I dare not tell the Prime Minister. I don't know what the evil ghost has done to my daughter. I think she is most likely murdered.
My poor daughter, I cannot avenge you. I can only hope that the evil spirit will become arrogant and run into the blade itself."
Her confidant was dumbfounded. Why did she suddenly say this? She quickly lowered her head, not daring to agree with the lady. It seemed that the lady was not going to save the second young lady.
Song Chenshi was indeed not planning to rescue her debt-collecting daughter, and she stayed quietly in the mansion.
Until one day, she heard that the third prince was suspected of treason and was being pursued by the imperial guards. He took the second daughter of the prime minister's mansion hostage. After successfully escaping from the capital, she couldn't even sit still on the chair. Suddenly, she slipped to the ground and trembled all over.
