Chapter 345 A Vicious Woman?
Lu Minhui was very happy to hear this. "Sister, it's good that you understand now. Tang Xuening is indeed not a good match."
"She already made a huge mistake in the last hunting competition. To say she's truly innocent and completely deceived is something I find hard to believe."
The Empress fell silent upon hearing this. Anyone with eyes could see the clues in what happened last time. Even if it was ultimately concluded that it had nothing to do with Tang Xuening, it was because she wasn't smart enough to be tricked.
After this incident, she understood even more clearly that Tang Xuening was indeed brainless.
She's probably spoiled at home and thinks everything will go her way. If she really becomes the Princess Consort of Chu, she won't be an asset, but rather a liability.
“Sister, I actually think that Miss Song is very good. Look at this porridge distribution, Tang Xuening is clearly targeting her.”
But look at how Miss Song did it? She didn't fight or compete, and she was willing to bear the infamy for a few days without caring at all.
"In our position, we must understand the importance of prioritizing the big picture and not let trivial matters ruin what's most important. This is the quality a true lady of a prominent family should possess."
Lu Minhui smiled. She had been observing the Song family's reaction from the beginning to the end of the incident.
Song Ruozhen had no intention of competing with Tang Xuening; she simply did what she was supposed to do, which showed her intelligence.
The Empress looked at her younger sister with a strange expression. "Why are you suddenly taking Song Ruozhen's side?"
"Before, I misunderstood Miss Song because of those rumors, but now that Qin Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyue's affair has been exposed, it is clear that she is truly innocent. Besides, if it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't have gotten pregnant."
Looking at her slightly protruding belly, Lu Minhui couldn't stop smiling, and said:
"Sister, just listen to my advice, Miss Song is simply a goddess!"
A few days ago I kept having nightmares. I dreamt that my great-grandmother said the house was leaking and I couldn't sleep at night because it was very cold. I tried many methods but couldn't solve the problem.
Miss Song told me it was water seepage from the tomb, and after hearing that, I immediately sent people to investigate, and it was indeed leaking!
Even the Empress was taken aback. "Is such a thing possible?"
Lu Minhui nodded repeatedly, "Sister, there are some things you can't deny. Ever since I had someone repair the leak, I haven't dreamed of Grandma complaining anymore."
Last night I dreamt of my great-grandmother again. She was much kinder and told me everything was fine.
Seeing that Lu Minhui's words were so detailed and convincing, the Empress frowned and said, "Could it be a deliberate trick? I've heard that people skilled in metaphysics can do this."
“How could that be?” Lu Minhui shook her head. “It wasn’t Miss Song who came to me on her own initiative. It was because I felt uneasy after having a dream that I went to see her.”
Moreover, Princess Xiang had been suffering from nightmares lately, and her health was deteriorating. I personally witnessed her exorcising the ghost and resolving Princess Xiang's predicament.
Compared to the ordinary young ladies of noble families in the capital, Miss Song is far more remarkable!
"I have also heard about this matter. Jun Ting reported it to the Emperor in the Imperial Study today and even received praise from the Emperor."
The Empress's expression softened somewhat. Although the Emperor had reprimanded Prime Minister Tang today, he had also praised Prince Chu. It was said that Prince Chu had submitted a list, and the matter had now been handed over to the Court of Judicial Review for investigation.
"That makes sense, doesn't it? I heard that the King of Chu went to investigate with Miss Song."
Lu Minhui's eyes lit up, and she said earnestly, "Sister, we are blood sisters, and I also hope that the King of Chu will be well."
He has never been interested in a girl all these years. Now that he has finally found a girl he likes, why do you have to break them up? Wouldn't that ruin the relationship between you and your son?
Moreover… I'm afraid that the King of Chu isn't the only one who has taken a fancy to Miss Song.”
"Actually, I knew that Tang Xuening was not suitable after the hunting competition. It was only because Madam Tang specially came to the palace to plead for her that I patiently took a look. Now that things have turned out like this, she is obviously not suitable for the Prince of Chu."
The Empress spoke slowly, explaining that her anger today stemmed from the fact that her outburst had caused many concubines in the palace to laugh at her and ruin her reputation.
"However, do you know that Grand Tutor Ling is about to return to the capital? His granddaughter, Ling Qian'er, has been acquainted with Prince Chu since childhood. I don't know what Jun Ting is really thinking."
Lu Minhui was slightly taken aback. "I do remember that girl. She was beautiful when she was a child and always liked to follow the King of Chu around. At the time, I jokingly said that I would arrange a marriage between the two of them in the future."
But Grand Tutor Ling was later transferred away from the capital, and now he's actually coming back?
……
Prime Minister's House.
Tang Xuening was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall, her face filled with resentment.
"Mother, your daughter did nothing wrong. It was those vagrants who were unreasonable and caused trouble. What does it have to do with me?"
"I just felt sorry for them and wanted them to eat better. This was a complete accident. How can you blame me for all of this?"
Looking at the unconvinced Tang Xuening, Madam Tang's eyes revealed a helpless disappointment.
"Your father told you to distribute porridge, so you should have just done what your father said. Why did you have to cause such a big mess and even instruct the servants to keep it from us!"
I heard that many refugees felt unwell after eating meat buns. You don't know unless you've been hungry. They hadn't eaten for several days in a row. How could they possibly stand eating such meat all of a sudden?
Among those who engaged in the fight, some were injured, and one was even beaten to death!
"Now the entire capital is watching this matter. Everyone is saying that you act without thinking, and some people are saying that your father is corrupt and takes bribes, otherwise why would he be so generous!"
Do you know that your father was severely reprimanded by the Emperor today and impeached by numerous officials, all because of you!
"How could this happen?" Tang Xuening's face turned pale, and she said in disbelief, "My daughter was just doing a good deed!"
"You've meant well but made things worse!" Madam Tang said angrily. "You were so well-behaved and obedient when you were little, what's wrong with you now? Do you know that after this commotion, there's no longer any possibility between you and the Prince of Chu!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuening, who had been quite stubborn, became flustered on her fair face. "No, no way."
"I know you want to beat Song Ruozhen, but why don't you think about why you've done so much while Song Ruozhen has done nothing?" Madam Tang's face was extremely ugly.
Tang Xuening recalled Song Ruozhen's previous attitude and seemed to understand instantly.
"She did it on purpose! She deliberately set a trap for me, just to see me make a fool of myself!"
At the time, she couldn't understand why Song Ruozhen, who wasn't someone to be bullied, would simply remove the stall so casually after the incident. It seemed she had been waiting to see her make a fool of herself ever since!
"She knew perfectly well that what I did would cause trouble, yet she didn't say a word to warn me. How could there be such a vicious woman in this world!" Tang Xuening was furious, her eyes filled with deep hatred.
