Chapter 43: Both of us have been schemed against!

  Yuan Xueyao finally finished listening to her brother's lecture and came out to the front hall to look for Song Yixiao, but saw that the hall was empty except for Song Yixiao and Jian Xu Bai sitting opposite each other, with an eerie atmosphere.

  She asked in surprise: "How come no one is serving you?"

  "Ji Su dropped something, and everyone went out to help find it." Song Yi smiled, but in the end, she still couldn't bear the pressure, silently swallowing a mouthful of blood, and put away the yellow jade pendant with the autumn melon pattern.

  This is so infuriating that it's beyond description, seeing Yuan Xueying come out, can't wait to leave quickly, just to avoid continuing to face Jian Xu Bai, will be unable to bear a punch!

  "So I'll get up and say, 'After searching for so long, it should be about time. It's best if Sister Yuan comes out, let's go take a look?'"

  Jian Xu Bai had also been waiting for a long time. Upon hearing this, he put down his tea cup: "I'll go find Xue Pei, you guys tell Ji Su about it!"

  "After going their separate ways, Yuan Xue asked: 'He didn't give you a hard time, did he?'"

  Don't be too hard on yourself, okay?

  But can you say something difficult for him?

  Song Yi choked back her bitter tears and said against her will: "Nothing."

  "That's good!" Yuan Xueyu let out a sigh of relief. "This man is very fierce, I was just afraid he would bully you too!"

  She didn't know much about Jian Xu Bai before, only knowing that he was her brother's good friend, and she didn't have any other impression of him. But after being scolded by him that one time, the only thing left in her impression was "overbearing and tyrannical" - she always felt that wherever Jian Xu Bai went, he would bully people!

  "I used to hear that he was going to be the master, how come there's no news now?" Song Yi smiled and didn't want to mention Jian Yu Bai again, but suddenly thought of this matter, and not asking clearly made her uneasy, so she pretended to casually mention it, "I thought that after this time the King of Wei gave him a marriage, his affairs should also have an imperial edict or a decree!"

  Yuan Xueying made a silencing gesture, took her to find Jin Xun, and then passed on the message to Ji Su. The two of them arrived at the embroidery building together, dispersed the idle people, and only then said: "My brother said that it's better not to know the inside story of this matter, he just briefly mentioned it to me - Jian Gongye is already a high-ranking official, if he marries into a prominent family again, wouldn't it be impossible to reward him further? How can the Emperor and the Crown Prince use him in the future?"

  Song Yi smiled and thought for a moment, but then said: "Wasn't Lord Jian only five years old when he became the Duke of State?"

  He was still rumored to be the crown prince at the age of eleven!

  "I've also heard that rumor a long time ago, so when I occasionally saw him back then, I didn't even lift my head, afraid of being gossiped about. But the inside story, my brother didn't tell me, and I don't know either." What made her disappointed was that Yuan Xueyu hesitated for a long time but shook her head, "It's better if you don't ask about this matter, after all, my brother won't harm me, things that can be told to me he has never kept from me. Since he doesn't say it, there must be some taboo in it!"

  "I'm not that curious, but now I'm going to be his wife. If I don't know these inside stories, who knows how I'll end up?!" Song Yi laughed with tears streaming down her face, but after weighing the pros and cons, she still didn't mention this to Yuan Xueyao to bother Yuan Xueping - after all, the current situation of the Yuan siblings wasn't great either, so it's best not to add more trouble for them.

  Pretending to have taken her advice, he changed the subject to Jiang Muxiu's marriage: "As for Sister Jiang's matter, I wonder if I can hear about it?"

  "This matter, brother can't understand for the time being." Yuan Xueying furrowed her brow, "If you hadn't come over today to mention it, I wouldn't have even known that someone had impersonated me and entrusted Mu Jing - but hopefully this matter has nothing to do with Wei Wangfei!"

  She was more clear about Jiang Muxiang's situation, "Muxiang and the King of Wei are childhood sweethearts, she truly likes the King of Wei. This time... if it really has something to do with me, I'm afraid she won't be willing to interact with me again!"

  Song Yi smiled wryly: "I'm worried that this matter has something to do with me! Otherwise, it would be fine to borrow your name, why did Jiang sister have to take care of me?"

  "But you haven't offended anyone, have you? It's just Cui Jianliang - that was all many years ago, when we were still kids!" Yuan Xueying said in confusion, "Why would she still remember it now?"

  "How could she not?" Song Yi smiled coldly and told her about what happened at the Shangsi banquet, "...the Qingjiang County Master didn't want to ruin everyone's mood, and also had to give face to the Noble Consort, the Crown Prince, and the Cui family, so she suppressed the matter!"

  Yuan Xue said with a sudden realization, "I was saying that the Cui family gave the Jiang family a generous gift just two days ago, claiming to be grateful for Mu Jing's rescue of Cui Jianliang at the Shangsi banquet. But in reality, Mu Jing and Cui Jianliang only met once before, they didn't even hang out together, how could he have coincidentally saved Cui Jianliang? It turns out there was more to it!"

  She furrowed her brow, "So, it was Cui Jianliang who impersonated me and entrusted Mu Jing with the task?"

  "I don't think so," Song Yi said with a thoughtful smile, "I haven't heard that Cui Jianlian and Jiang sister have any grudges, but rather the Nan Zhen princess..."

  It seems that there is something on his mind, "The cause of the matter that day was that Cui Jianliu's people broke Jiang Sister's grandmother's jade step shake, how could Jiang Xianfei not see that it was intentional? But in the end, Wei Wangfei still decided on Nan Zhenjun, could it be..."

  An idea flashed through her mind like lightning, and Song Yi couldn't help but jump up, "Damn it! Both of us have been calculated!"

  "What?" Yuan Xueyao said in surprise.

  "Jiang sister had already been tacitly approved by Your Majesty before the Shangsi banquet, and was indeed going to be the princess of Wei!" Song Yi explained quickly with a smile. "But the lady of Nanxiang also wanted to be the princess of Wei - although it is said that the eldest princess of Dai has always been favored by the emperor, in the end, the marriage of the king of Wei is something that five people have the most say in: the Emperor and Empress, the Empress Dowager, the virtuous concubine, and the King of Wei himself!"

  "Jiang sister's maid Bao Jing personally said that Your Majesty has already agreed! If so, I think the Empress Dowager and the Queen should not object either - Jiang Xianfei is Jiang sister's own aunt, then she would be even more unlikely to object! As for Prince Wei, you also said that he and Jiang sister are childhood sweethearts!"

  "In this case, if Nan Zhenjun wants to get what he wishes for, he can only hope that Jiang sister makes a mistake herself!"

  "But Sister Jiang has family protection outside and wise concubine care inside, with a clever Bao Jing by her side, how could she get into trouble so easily?"

  "Even if they plotted against her, once they slipped up and gave her a handle, neither the virtuous imperial consort nor Jiang's family members would let it go easily!"

  "The Princess of Dai and Marquis of Fuyang are noble, but the Jiang family and Empress Xian are not to be trifled with either!"

  "Especially since Empress Xian is the foster mother of Prince Wei, no matter who Prince Wei's wife is, it is only natural that she should be treated with filial piety! Even without evidence, once Empress Xian suspects that Princess Nanxiang killed Jiang sister, how can she possibly give Princess Nanxiang a good face in the future?!"

  "So, even if we want to harm Jiang sister, we must do it in a way that is reasonable and justified. In short, we cannot let people think of the Princess Daguolong's family! This way, even if Jiang sister can't become the princess consort of Wei, the spearhead of Jiang Xianfei and the Jiang family will not be directed at the Countess of Nanzheng!"

  Song Yi's face turned pale with rage, "The two of us are just their scapegoats!"

  Yuan Xue'er was taken aback: "You're saying...?"

  "On the day of the Shangsi banquet, I was originally going to Qinchun Hall with Lu Ke'er and her sisters. Later, Jiang sister took the initiative to find me and said that she was entrusted by you to take care of me, so we naturally went together." Song Yi smiled coldly, "Jiang sister did this, of course, because she believed the rumors - from then on, I fell into a trap with her!"

  Because when attending a banquet, the spare clothes and hairpins brought along are usually placed together with companions when entering the mountain villa!

  Yuan Xue'er suddenly said: "Cui Jianlian deliberately broke Mu Qian's jade step shake, in order to frame her. But when Xian Fei and the Jiang family investigate, she will say that she originally wanted to ruin your things, thinking that your makeup box was placed together with Mu Qian's, and mistakenly took it when doing something."

  "Not bad!" Song Yi smiled bitterly, "So, the cause of the matter is the grudge between Cui Jianli and me, but because Jiang sister became my companion that day, she got implicated!"

  It has nothing to do with Diguogong Princess and Nanzheng County Princess!

  Cui Jianlian not only successfully completed the entrustment of the Nan Ziang County Master, but also borrowed the anger of the Jiang family and Xian Fei to severely avenge Song Yi Xiao - Song Yi Xiao said that on the Shangsi banquet, why did Cui Jianlian stare at Jiang Muqin and never mention herself?

  She thought Cui Jianliang's revenge was just to lure Bao Jing out and make her a scapegoat, but now she realizes that she underestimated this noble lady!

  Yuan Xueyu thought for a moment, still feeling puzzled: "But wasn't Cui Jianliang's frame-up already exposed by you in front of Qingjiang Junzhu? Why is Wei Wangfei still Nanxiang Junzhu?"

  "I just can't figure it out, so I came to find you." Song Yi smiled and shook her head, "I reckon something must have happened again in the past few days - who knows if we two are being pulled underwater again?"

  She couldn't help but secretly congratulate herself that as soon as she heard the Wei Wangfei was the Nan Zhen County Princess, she immediately came to the Yuan family, and thus discovered someone impersonating Yuan Xueyu's name to entrust things to Jiang Muxian, and also informed Yuan Xueding in time - otherwise, they would have been ruined without knowing why!

  "It's a good thing that Brother already knows about this matter." Yuan Xueying was confused for a while, but still remained optimistic, "Brother will definitely figure it out and clear our names!"

  You can ask your heart without guilt, but I don't have to!

  Song Yi smiled and opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say the words - her grudge against Cui Jianli was real, and based on this alone, Jiang Muxing might not necessarily hold a grudge against her after knowing the truth!

  After all, marriage is a lifelong matter, especially since Jiang Muxun truly loves Wei Wang!

  Moreover, even if Yuan Xuepei finds out the truth, it may not necessarily be a good thing for Song Yiliao.

  At the Shangsi banquet, Bao Jing was just a slave, relying on the power of the Jiang family, daring to ask Song Yixiao to sacrifice!

  Moreover, Yuan Xuepei is Yuan Xueying's own elder brother, and he regards his younger sister as a precious gem.

  Who knows if he will push Song Yixiao out as a shield to save his own sister?

  After all, a girl like her without reliable protection is a soft persimmon in anyone's eyes.

  Song Yixiao didn't know that the letter she hadn't received was actually a reminder from Yuan Xuepei to her sister. Six years ago, he had a bad impression of participating in the Mastiff incident, and recently there was the example of Bao Jing, so she didn't trust Yuan Xuepei at all.

  So it's impossible to think like Yuan Xueying that everything will be fine once things are handed over to Yuan Xuepei.

  "Her Highness, the Princess of Dai Guo, and the Countess of Nan Zhen...” Song Yi smiled wryly, taking a deep breath as he felt waves of despair. "These two are even avoided by the Hengshan Wangfu; if they've set their sights on us, what can we do?"

  Not only that, but also there is a Jiang family with unknown friends and enemies!

  Can this day be survived?!!!

  Although it is said that heaven will not cut off a man's road, but now looking left and right, this road has only one way:

  Take a gamble and marry Jian Yuxi Bai!
