Chapter 336: The Choice She Didn't Have
After hearing Zi'er's words, Mama Zhang immediately denied it: "What are you talking about? How could a princess be such a person? What's wrong with you today? Why do you say this all of a sudden?" Mama Zhang has felt that something is wrong with Zi'er in the past few days, especially after coming here, she is like a different person, which is very different from her who was sensible and peaceful before.
"Mama, I'm just ......" Before Zi'er's words fell, Song Qian came back in the carriage.
Seeing the two of them in the courtyard, Song Qian didn't know what was going on, so he asked, "Mama Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Zi'er's crying appearance, it made her a little strange.
Mama Zhang stopped Zi'er, who wanted to speak, and said respectfully to Song Qian, "Back to the princess, nothing happened. It's because Zi'er said just now that she was a little homesick and missed her relatives, so that's why it's like this."
Song Qian nodded thoughtfully, she naturally didn't believe this statement, but she still comforted and replied, "If you really want to be the emperor, go back and have a look." When the time comes, I will come back and I will not delay anything else."
"Thank you for your concern, and the slave will ask her later. The slaves and maids went down to do their work first, and the princess should tell the slaves and maids what to do." Mama Zhang pulled Zi'er out of here after saying that, for fear that she would say something that would make Song Qian misunderstand or be angry.
And after the two of them left here, Song Qian didn't think much about it.
Not long after, Ji Changye also came back from outside.
He came to Song Qian's room as soon as possible, and wanted to discuss with her about Zi'er, but he felt that he couldn't delay it any longer.
After listening to Ji Changye tell everything that happened today, Song Qian understood why Zi'er was like this today, and after thinking for a while, he said his thoughts: "In that case, let's send him back with the reason she wants to go back to see." When the time comes, just say hello to the people in Dijing and leave her behind."
Ji Changye immediately agreed when he saw Song Qian's words, and planned to send the two away early tomorrow morning, so as not to cause endless trouble.
Suddenly thinking of Chen Jiaxi, Ji Changye couldn't help but ask more: "Song Niangzi, is this Chen family credible?" Do you want me to send someone to investigate, after all, there won't be any problems if you know the bottom line?" The most important thing is that today he heard Zeng Kangan say that the Chen family is not simple, otherwise he would not have gone from a vegetable seller to the point where he is now. So he was very worried, what if Song Qian was deceived in his cooperative business?
"What the prince said also makes sense, so let's do what the prince says." Song Qian thought about it carefully and agreed to what Ji Changye said.
At this time, Ji Changye's heart was half relieved, and he was very happy that Song Qian could follow his advice, so he couldn't wait to tell Changfeng to investigate the Chen family.
And Song Qian didn't do nothing, she thought about it, and finally decided to go to Chen Jiaxi the next day to talk about cooperation.
After Ji Changye returned to his room, he was just about to prepare his wide clothes when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and he didn't think much about it and let him in. It's just that I didn't expect that the person who came in turned out to be Zi'er, and she still had a basin of hot water in her hand.
"Lord Wang, it was the slave who collided with you today, and I hope you don't remember the villain. Zi'er is willing to go back to the imperial capital to learn the rules, and then come to serve you and the princess. Therefore, in order to make amends, let the slave maid wait for you to wash your feet." With that, she put the basin on the side of the bed, ready to come and help Ji Changye untie his clothes.
Ji Changye reacted quickly and immediately avoided Zi'er. His face sank, and he didn't want to appreciate it: "It's good that this king comes by himself, and I don't need you to serve him." Go out and don't let anyone misunderstand anything." With that, he walked to the outer room, not planning to be in the same room with Zi'er.
But Zi'er caught up: "Lord Wang, it is only natural for the slave and maid to serve you, do you dislike the slave and maid?"
"I don't like you, can't I see it? Why don't you understand? Do you have to make these words clear? Why don't you obey the king's command now? You hurry up, or don't blame this king for not thinking about Mama Zhang's affection!" Ji Changye took a few steps back, for fear that Zi'er would pounce on him like she did during the day today.
Zi'er suddenly began to untie her clothes and said, "King
Master, although the slave maid is not as good as the princess, she was also a young lady from a big family in the past, and she was no worse than others. Besides, the slave and maid have admired you for a long time, so take a look at the slave and maid."
"Get me out! Get out!" Ji Changye hurriedly blocked his sight, and waved his hand at Zi'er, not wanting her to get close to him.
At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Song Qian walked in with a letter, and was stunned when he saw the scene happening in the house.
Ji Changye was afraid that Song Qian would misunderstand something, and hurriedly explained, "Princess, this matter is not what you see, you listen to my explanation." As he spoke, he ran in front of Song Qian, not daring to look back at Zi'er.
And even if Zi'er came here, she still didn't mean to restrain herself, so she let herself be disheveled.
Song Qian exhaled a turbid breath, calmed down his mood, and said after forcibly calming down, "Find Mama Zhang." She knew that Zi'er's purpose was not pure, but she didn't expect her to be so bold.
After Mama Zhang was found, they came to the front hall.
Song Qian looked at Zi'er's still disheveled appearance, so he asked Mama Zhang to bring a cloak and said, "A girl from a white family, it's really inappropriate to be like this. You get dressed first, and then you can talk about anything."
At this time, Changfeng came when he heard the movement, and when he saw Zi'er's appearance, he immediately blushed, and hurriedly turned his eyes away, not daring to take another look.
And Mama Zhang looked at Zi'er's appearance and felt very sad in her heart, he didn't expect that he didn't see that Zi'er would do such a rebellious thing. After finally couldn't help it anymore, she pulled Zi'er out of shape and asked, "You who are doing this! Why do you want to do this? Could it be that the prince and the princess treat you badly? Or did I teach you to do that? You say! You say!"
Zi'er was pushed by her, but her face was indifferent, and she even knelt there indifferently.
Song Qian was afraid that she would do something extreme, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said, "Mama Zhang, if you have anything to say, don't do it."
"Princess, princess, it's all because the slave didn't teach her well, so he made such a shameful thing. Slaves and maids deserve death, and if they are to be punished, slaves and maids will not escape the blame." Mama Zhang knelt and kowtowed.
"What's the use of talking about these things? Why don't you ask her why she did that?" Ji Changye opened his mouth and said that he was very angry about today's events. But because of Song Qian, I endured it.
Mama Zhang immediately responded, turned her head and questioned Zi'er, "Didn't you hear the prince's question? Why are you doing this? Could it be that the prince and the princess treat you badly? Or are you just doing whatever it takes to get your own future glory and wealth?" She couldn't believe that she had personally taught such a shameless person.
Zi'er held her neck up, looking unconvinced, and probably replied because of the pressure, "Why is this life in this world so unfair? Some people are born and live a peaceful life, but I have to go through so much suffering. It is said that human life is not up to heaven, so why can't I seek the best way out for myself? Song Qian is just a rural village woman, how can she fly on the branches and become a phoenix? And I still have to do these things of serving tea and pouring water? Anyway, I'm already a cheap life, even if I succeed, even if my life is good, if I don't succeed, it's a big deal to lose my life, anyway, I have nothing to worry about."
Her family is dead to death, missing to be missing. There is no longer a concern, and she is left alone, so why not gamble?
Mama Zhang became even more angry when she heard her words, and said, "No matter what, I didn't let you do such a shameless thing, did I? It's all you want to do, so why blame your life!"
"I've earned my life now. You're right, I'm a country woman, and I can't change it. My previous life was no better than yours, my ex-husband left me away from home, and for many years I suffered from the white eyes of others? There is no man in the family, and it is difficult for a woman to move in this world, so can you imagine how difficult my life is? Not to mention the difficulties of those relatives. But I didn't give up, I knew that something had happened, and I knew that it was going to happen
Going is not a way, and with the help of noble people, it will come to this point. I never thought of being as bad as you did." Song Qian said this, and couldn't help but admire the original owner of this body very much, I didn't expect her to be so persistent, if it were someone else, I am afraid that she would have been unable to hold it a long time ago.
And Song Qian's own luck is that he is from modern times, and with the help of Ji Changye and other nobles.
"I know you don't have any other way to do it now, and you don't feel like there's any hope. So I can help you with any difficulties you have, not gambling in this way. If you bet right, it's your life, and if you bet wrong, even if it won't lead to a capital crime, what should you do if you spread your reputation? Isn't this the thing that cares most about this in the world? That's when you're really at a loss. If you want to be in a good place, even if you get into the palace as you wish, you can only be an aunt. You were also a young lady from a big family before, so you should know what this aunt's life is like, right? Is this what glory and wealth are in your eyes?" Song Qian couldn't help asking, at this time, she didn't care what the answer to this matter was, she just wanted to know if Zi'er really wanted to do this?
Or would a woman like her have this thought?
Zi'er gritted her teeth, and finally lowered her head without saying a word. She knew what Song Qian said, but this was already the best way he could think of, and she naturally didn't want to do it.
Looking at her silent expression, Song Qian understood her thoughts, so she said, "This matter will end here, no one will mention it again, but you can't stay here anymore, don't blame me for being ruthless, you better go back to the imperial capital, and you can always think clearly about the impetuosity in your heart." With that, she turned around and left the place, her mind a little confused, there was still a process of acceptance.
Although she knew that she might end up in this ending, Zi'er still cried sadly, maybe she was blaming herself for being stupid, maybe she was regretting what she had done, and Mama Zhang was also very distressed when she looked at her appearance, after all, she was the one she had brought for so long.
Ji Changye hurriedly followed Song Qian, wanting to explain to her again.
