Chapter 104 Adopted Daughter
Night falls and the moon rises above the branches.
Shen Jiayu followed Qu Chi to a familiar place and entered the cell where the Prime Minister was imprisoned for the first time.
At this time, Song Yuanbai stood inside without saying a word, and just his back was enough to make people shudder.
The way he kept silent really scared Shen Jiayu.
"My Lord, what do you want me to do?"
Although the window paper had been almost torn, Shen Jiayu still said this as a servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Song Yuanbai heard this, he felt it was somewhat ironic.
He turned around slowly and looked at Shen Jiayu with a serious expression, as if he was going to kill Shen Jiayu on the spot in the next second.
"Don't pretend. I have already found out your identity. I just kept you here because you were nice to Qing'er. I also wanted to see what Ye Hanshan wanted to do by sending you to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"He has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so long, and it seems that he only wants to get close to my sister, and you are secretly looking for opportunities for the two of them to get along. What exactly do you want to do?"
Shen Jiayu stopped pretending, "I don't know, I just followed the master's orders."
She knew it but couldn't say it. If she did, she would really lose her life.
Now I don’t know what Song Yuanbai is thinking. He doesn’t let her leave. Is he just trying to find out from her the purpose of her coming to the Prime Minister’s Mansion?
Why does she feel that things are not that simple?
"What a great sentence! You came here the day you arrived. You should know what this place is for. Do you want to be detained again?"
Song Yuanbai's lips curled slightly and his voice was very soft, but as scary as an evil ghost crawling out of hell.
"So what if you know? Sir, if you want to do something, just do it."
Shen Jiayu didn't say anything else. There was no point in saying more.
If he wanted to attack her, when she was about to run, Qu Chi would have the intention to kill her and would never be so polite.
She was betting that Song Yuanbai was threatening her.
If you lose the bet, the worst that can happen is a fight, but you won't necessarily die.
The atmosphere in the cell froze in an instant, as if Song Yuanbai was about to take action in the next second.
But he didn't, instead he laughed a few times.
"You have a good psychological quality. I come here to discuss something with you. No, not to discuss, but something that you must agree to." Song Yuanbai said as he walked towards Shen Jiayu.
"I want you to be the adopted daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. You are a little beggar whom I picked up five years ago. You have been recuperating in the Prime Minister's Mansion and are the adopted daughter that my parents love. You also heard what happened this afternoon. The emperor intends to grant us a marriage, but it has not been finalized yet. From the information I have received, I only know that the emperor only wants a prime minister's daughter to marry the third prince's staff. You can't bear to see Qing'er marry him, right?"
It took a while for Shen Jiayu to understand what he meant.
If she becomes the adopted daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and marries in place of Song Qinghong, doesn't that mean she can marry Wen Xiangzhu directly?
She didn't have to try hard to attract Wen Xiangzhu's attention. As long as she married him, they would always have the opportunity to spend time together in the future.
After Shen Jiayu thought it through, he agreed without hesitation, "I can."
Perhaps he didn't expect that she would agree so readily. Song Yuanbai was a little surprised and began to worry that she might have fallen into a trap.
After thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of anything suspicious, so I gave up the idea.
"Okay! There's no turning back now that you've agreed. Qing'er has been so good to you, and you've been lying to her. This is also a good thing for Qing'er. Someone will arrange a new place for you to live tomorrow. You should stay at Qing'er's place tonight."
Song Yuanbai didn't waste any words. After telling her some things that needed attention, he arranged things directly.
The next morning, maids came in and out of Song Qinghong's yard and moved all of Shen Jiayu's things out.
Song Qinghong was in the room, listening to Song Yuanbai's explanation.
He only said that his parents saw that Song Qinghong liked Shen Jiayu very much, so they adopted Shen Jiayu as their adopted daughter. In the future, she would have a younger sister, and the family would be more lively.
Song Qinghong didn't believe it, she felt there was something fishy going on and it wasn't what they said.
He explained and persuaded for a long time before Song Qinghong reluctantly believed him.
"Brother, please don't lie to me. Jiayu is not a bad person. She had no choice."
Although Song Qinghong reluctantly believed it, she was still a little worried and had to ask one more question to feel at ease.
"Don't worry, brother won't lie to you." Song Yuanbai rarely lied to his sister, and the tips of his ears flushed a little.
But for her happiness, this lie had to be told.
Even if she knew the truth in the future and had a lot of resentment towards him, he would not regret it.
With Song Yuanbai's reassurance, Song Qinghong felt relieved, and her happiness showed on her face.
"I am also a sister. When a brother has two sisters in the future, he must treat them equally."
"Okay, brother will definitely do it."
Seeing that she was happy, Song Yuanbai was happy too.
His sister must never marry someone who is willing to work with the third prince.
……
Early in the morning, Shen Jiayu was taken away by the maid who held her hand yesterday to dress up.
The maid's name was Nianzhu. It was she who spotted Shen Jiayu first yesterday and took her to find Song Qinghong.
He received the news and was saying auspicious words in front of Shen Jiayu.
Shen Jiayu had seen Song Qinghong give some things as rewards to servants when they said auspicious words, so she casually gave a gold ring on the table to Rosary.
Nianzhu was flattered and thanked him several times.
Shen Jiayu was a little uncomfortable with this, but she was now the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, although she was only an adopted daughter.
He never mentioned to anyone that there was an adopted daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion. When the time was right, Song Yuanbai would naturally tell her.
"Jia... No, Second Miss, my makeup is ready, please take a look." Nianzhu's makeup skills are no worse than Luqi's. With her skillful hands, she dressed up Shen Jiayu, which was like giving Shen Jiayu a new look.
She just felt that her head was very heavy, so she raised her hands to support it, then lazily looked at her face in the bronze mirror. Her face was as rosy as a peach, her almond eyes were bright, and her snake-like bun set her face shape very well, making her look petite and exquisite.
After applying lip balm, the whole person becomes a different person.
When I first saw this face in the book, it was so thin, with sunken cheeks. It was a very ordinary face, and it was hard to recognize it in a crowd.
More than half a year has passed. She has been well taken care of by Song Qinghong in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Her face has gained some flesh and her skin has become whiter.
She hadn't taken a good look at her face yet. Now she couldn't be called a great beauty, but she was still a beauty.
"It looks very good." Shen Jiayu raised the corners of his lips slightly, smiled and said three words lightly.
