Dowager Consort took the moral responsibility and she even took Song Yixiao was brought up by Prince of Hengshan’s mansion as her backing, thus she had a point anyway.Wei Mengying made every effort to reach her goal, but the only result she got was that her daughter should get married within this year, “Mother, you’re afraid that Yixiao may bring troubles on Kou’er and her sister, so you asked Yixiao to get married. But Mother, if Yixiao get married when she just came back from Marquis Boling’s mansion. People will doubt that there is something fishy behind this. By then, thing would be more harmful for Kou’er and her sister. If we wait until the rumor subsides, it shows that we have no guilt, am I right?”“But she can’t go to Marquis Boling’s mansion any more! From now on, she’d better stay at the Hanxia Villa all the time!” Dowager Consort took “caring about the reputation and integrity of her granddaughters” as an excuse, but, her real aim was to clear

On the terrace, Commandery Princess Qingjiang looked Lu Kou’er and the other two ladies up and down, who were climbing upstairs. She rolled the glass cup in her palm and asked the maid next to her, “Is it the hindermost one? She looks quite familiar to me?”“Your Highness has a good memory!” The first maid, Zhenli flattered her mistress first and then said, “Miss Yuan conducted her to you last year. Back then, she presented you with a pair of sachets and you praised her for her good skills face to face!”“No wonder.” Commandery Princess Qingjiang nodded her head and narrowed her eyes, “Prince of Hengshan is virtuous and kind. Judging from her talent, appearance and temperament, I suppose she is exceptionally better than Kou’er and her sister! Obviously, she has been carefully raised.”Zhenli said smilingly, “If she is not good enough, how dare I mention her to you?”Speaking of this, Lu Kou’er and the other two girls had arrived. C

Jiang Muting didn’t know that her wish of becoming the Princess Consort of Wei would fail, so she was totally fine with the current feast and even had a sense of superiority while facing the other beautiful girls.After socializing for a round, she found time to show care for Song Yixiao, “The sweet osmanthus cake tastes refreshing, but now is not summer yet and it is windy in the mountain. You had better eat less for the sake of your health.”Song Yixiao wanted to say okay when a maid suddenly came from behind. After looking around for an instant, she walked to the front of Jiang Muting and bent over to report, “Miss Jiang, something is wrong with the cottages. Would you like to go over and have a look?”Jiang Muting was surprised and recognized the clothes of the maid. The maid was from the Zhanchun Venue. Jiang Muting couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong?”The cottages that the maid mentioned were on the both sides of the mountai

Song Yixiao knew about Baoying’s plan and felt furious in her heart. But she looked calm and said, “To bear the blame for her means to admit my guilt. It’s the worst solutions to be led by the nose! Baoying, although you protect your lady loyally, you are not smart enough!”“Miss Song, do you mean that you can prove us innocent and make others have no chance to spread rumors?” Baoying wasn’t angry after hearing that. She raised her eyebrows and questioned, “I’m dumb. Miss Song, please show your mercy to teach me.”How demanding she was! She didn’t only want to prove them innocent, but also asked her to control rumors. Even imperial edicts couldn’t completely stop people gossiping!Song Yixiao snickered, “Baoying, you’d better know one thing. Although I owe the Jiang Family favors, I won’t repay them by putting my future on the line!”She didn’t have any support. But she did have backbone. Baoying wanted to bring her to terms due to

Commandery Princess Qingjiang’s voice was not loud but it still astonished Cui Jianlian!Cui Jianlian responded fast and instantly knelt down, crying, “Your Highness, I am so sorry! I shouldn’t exaggerate my injury out of the fear for Sister Muting’s blaming!”Jiang Muting was furious to hear her words. Cui Jianlian still kept slandering Jiang Muting even at the moment!“So you just neglect Her Highness’s kindness to visit you and even sent for the imperial doctor from the imperial capital just now?” Song Yixiao gave her a hint with the eyes to be patient and questioned closely in a cold voice, “As I recall, you are two years older than me. You are not a child anymore. How can you lack tact like this? How dare you turn a blind eye to Her Highness’s warm-heartedness and hospitability!”Song Yixiao managed to put the label of defying the Commandery Princess on Cui Jianlian with a few words. Having noticed that Commandery Princess Qin
