Chapter 92(1/2)
Song Ruoxi was startled by Song Ruojie's actions and reached out to support her, "Second sister, get up first."
"Sister Seven, please save me!" Song Ruojie stood up.
Song Ruoxi took two steps back, his eyes slightly darkened, "Did the second sister drink too much at noon? Why did she say drunken words?"
"Sister Seven, what I am saying is not a drunken word. Seven is a smart person. I think Seven understands my current situation. Please beg Seven to show mercy and save me!" Song Ruojie begged.
"Second sister, I am just a little girl from the third room. She is neither an old lady nor a mistress, nor a legitimate mother of the second sister. If the second sister wants to change her situation, she should ask them, not to ask me. Second sister, don't go to the wrong temple or worship the wrong Bodhisattva." Song Ruoxi said the truth. She didn't think she had any ability to change Song Ruojie's situation.
"Seventh sister, I know you don't like me, and I also know that I used to rely on the old lady's favor to do a lot of things wrong and offend many people, but I have no choice. I am a illegitimate daughter, and my biological father doesn't love me, and my legitimate mother doesn't love me. I can only please the old lady and live!" Song Ruojie defended.
"Sister Six didn't please the old lady, she lived a good life," Song Ruoxi said lightly.
"Seventh sister must have never been to the yard where Sister Six lives. If you go and take a look, you will know what kind of life Sister Six lives."
Song Ruoxi walked to the warm couch and sat down, took the hand warmer brought by Xiangduo, "I have never been to the yard where Sister Six lives, but these days when I came back, I have seen Sister Six dress up. Although the clothes and jewelry she wore were not as bad as those of Sister Three and Fifth Sisters, it was not too bad. My aunt did not treat her harshly."
"Although the sixth sister was not born in the belly of the eldest wife, she also called her mother. Since she was also a mother, the eldest wife should have the same attitude as the sixth sister and the third sister and the fifth sister. There should be no difference in food, clothing and expenses." Song Ruojie looked indignant for Song Ruoyan.
"People are selfish, and there are certainly differences in their own children and their own children." Song Ruoxi looked at Song Ruojie with a sarcastic look on her face, "When the second sister gets married and has a concubine's child in the future, she regards the concubine's child as her biological child, and treats her as her own children, and will definitely praise everyone."
When Song Ruojie heard the words "marrying a woman" and almost drifted off topic, she finally remembered her purpose and said, "Seventh Sister, the old lady has abandoned me like a waste. She didn't allow me to leave the courtyard. She said that the daughter of the Song family was Zhenlie and asked me to watch the widow for her fiancé. Seventh Sister, the daughter of the Song family, Zhenlie, is not so chaste. I am only seventeen years old and I still have a lot of youth. I don't want to die in the courtyard just like this. Seventh Sister, please save me."
Song Ruoxi frowned slightly. She always thought that Old Mrs. Song just thought Song Ruojie was unlucky and did not allow Song Ruojie to come out. Unexpectedly, Old Mrs. Song was so heartless. Seeing Song Ruojie's young face, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes and sighed: "I can't help with this matter. The second sister went to ask the eldest aunt and third sister for help, maybe it would be useful."
"The eldest wife is only the old lady's leader, and the third sister is even more like the eldest wife. She is the best at seeing the wind and turning the rudder and taking the wrong steps." Song Ruojie knew the mother and daughter too well and sneered, "It's useless to ask them."
"The old lady won't listen to what I said." Song Ruoxi knew it herself, so she didn't want to send it to the door to humiliate the old lady.
"The old man can suppress the old lady in this family. As long as the old man says a word, it will be done." Song Ruojie looked at Song Ruoxi with hope. Her aunt was right. The seventh sister was indeed weak-hearted and she had already let go.
"Second sister just go and beg the old man, what are you doing when I come to me?"
"I am a illegitimate girl, and the old man will not come forward for me. The old man loves the most is Sister Qi. In front of the old man, Sister Qi will say a word more effective than saying a hundred words from others."
Song Ruoxi was surprised. When did she become the old man’s favorite person? Why didn’t she know? She curled her lips and said, “I’m afraid my second sister got the wrong person.”
"It's not wrong. The old man is willing to send the tribute to his sister even the Luxue who has been tributed to him. It can be seen that the old man values the seventh sister the most."
"I don't drink green tea." Song Ruoxi sneered. The old man didn't value her, but thought she could sell it at a good price.
Song Ruojie was stunned and murmured: "The green snow from the tribute is excellent for treating guests."
Song Ruoxi covered his mouth and yawned, saying, "I will talk about the old man's place. As for whether it will succeed, I can't guarantee it."
Song Ruojie was happy and said, "Thank you, Sister Qi."
"Last time I went to see my sister's illness, my second aunt gave me a golden croaker with a lion dog rolling ball. I haven't returned the gift yet, Xiangxiu, put the glass lamp in the study and asked the second sister to take it to my second aunt." Song Ruoxi had already agreed to help Song Ruojie, so she simply did a good job and reminded Song Ruojie that she is the girl from the second wife. This time she wanted to use the old man to suppress the old lady. The old lady would definitely annoy her and would definitely not care about her. If she wanted to find someone again, she would have to rely on Ouyang.
"Thank you, Sister Qi, I will take this lamp back to my mother." Song Ruojie thanked again, took Xiangxiu and handed it to the brocade box containing the glass lamp.
When Song Ruojie left, Qinghe asked anxiously: "Girl, do you really want to help the second girl plead with the old man?"
"Of course it's true." Song Ruoxi walked towards the bedroom.
"Girl, Miss Second is not a kind person. She won't be grateful if you help her."
"I don't need her to be grateful." Song Ruoxi's eyes turned slightly, "I just pity her and don't want her to be ruined by the old lady's happiness for the rest of her life."
"The girl helps the second girl, and the old lady will cause trouble for the girl."
"If I don't help her, the old lady will also cause trouble for me. I won't have to worry about debt."
Qinghe laughed and served Song Ruoxi to bed.
At the moment of You, Old Master Song came back from the yamen and just sat down in the study when he heard the maid outside say, "Miss Seven, the old master's study cannot be entered casually."
"I have something to see the old man, please send me a message." Song Ruoxi said politely. Mint cleverly stuffed the maid a purse, which contained a silver turtle of two taels.
The maid smiled and turned around to report, "Old Master, Miss Seven asked for a visit."
"Let her come in."
Song Ruoxi walked in and saluted the old master Song, "Granddaughter pays me a blessing to my grandfather."
"You are only cured of your illness. What are you here to do?" Old Master Song asked with a smile.
"Grandfather, granddaughter came for the second sister." Song Ruoxi made it straight to the point.
"What's wrong with Erya?"
"My grandmother asked the second sister to watch the family, but the second sister was unwilling to do so, so she committed suicide by hanging the beam and was rescued. This time the second sister was lucky enough to be rescued, but if it happens every time... saving a life is better than building a seventh-level pagoda. The granddaughter begs her grandfather to choose another family for her second sister." Song Ruoxi went straight and didn't hide at all.
"You don't have a good relationship with Erya, how could you be willing to help her?" Old Master Song didn't know much about the family, but he also knew about it.
"The granddaughter and second sister are both daughters of the Song family. The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the things hurt their species." Song Ruoxi said with a smile.
"That's all?" A glimmer of light flashed in Old Master Song's eyes.
"Yesterday, Madam Ma went to the old lady to set rules. Madam was old and was my father's biological mother again. We juniors were a little unbearable." Song Ruoxi hinted in a vague hint that Song Sui felt sad for her stepmother to torture her biological mother. Her daughter had to share her worries for her father. In terms of law, Madam Song is Song Sui's mother. Song Sui cannot support her for the madam, otherwise, Madam Song could sue him for being disobedient and unfilial.
"So, you just want to cause trouble to the east and ask the old lady to cause trouble for Er Yatou. Er Yatou is a spoiled girl. Even if the old lady wants to punish her, she will show mercy and will not splash her with hot tea, right?" Old Master Song told Song Ruoxi's intentions.
"Grandfather, when the granddaughter came to find you, he did not avoid others. He entered Songheyuan openly. There were at least a dozen or twenty people who saw the granddaughter. The eldest lady was in charge of the internal affairs. The old lady would definitely know that it was me who told you about this. Don't say that the troubles in the east are in trouble, I'm afraid that even I will be in trouble at that time." Song Ruoxi said.
Old Master Song smiled and said, "Seven Girls, you are very smart."
"You say whatever your granddaughter has and dare not hide it from his grandfather." Song Ruoxi praised Old Master Song for a small compliment, indicating that she was smart and did not dare to be scheming in front of him.
"Why did you get sick that day?" Old Master Song didn't believe that things would be such a coincidence. He asked if he wanted to settle the score later, but he had to know the truth.
"Riding a horse blows the wind, and the cold air invades." Song Ruoxi gave the standard answer.
Old Master Song narrowed his eyes, "Seven Girls, do you know why the Song family has become a prominent family that has been passed down for dozens of generations?"
Song Ruoxi pondered for a moment and said, "Brothers are harmonious, the family is rich; descendants are virtuous, and the clan is great."
"The clan is a tree, the ancestor is a root, and the descendants are branches and leaves. Only when the roots are deep can the leaves be lush." Old Master Song hinted that Song Ruoxi was the surname Song, but not Ji. When she got married in the future, the Song family was her support.
"The granddaughter will remember the teachings of grandfather in his heart." Song Ruoxi responded to the teachings.
Old Master Song picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, "When did you meet Mr. Ye?"
"Five years ago at Jinglian Temple, he came to the temple with Master Jueming to attend the Dharma Assembly."
"How is he?"
"Master Jueming's apprentice must be a good person." Song Ruoxi's eyes flashed. The old man wouldn't he tell her about his marriage in person, right?
Old Master Song held the teacup and didn't drink it, staring at Song Ruoxi with a torch.
Song Ruoxi looked as usual, with a faint smile on his lips, allowing Old Master Song to stare at people with a searchlight-like gaze.
After a long time, Old Master Song put down the teacup with satisfaction and said, "In a few months, you will be in the hairpin. When you and the hairpin, your grandfather will give you a heavy gift."
"Granddaughter, thank you for your kindness." Song Ruoxi suddenly thought of Song Ruoyan holding a banquet. Why did Song Ruoman, who was half a month older than Song Ruoyan, not hold a banquet?
"You don't have to worry about Erya's affairs anymore. Go back to your room and rest!"
"The granddaughter left." Song Ruoxi bent his knees and retreated.
Song Ruoxi returned to the yard and found Ji Yun waiting for her in the room. He knew that Qinghe told Ji Yun about her going to find the old man. She was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "Mom, you are here."
"Can things be done?"
"It's done."
"Why do you need to help her?"
"She has never done anything unforgivable. The old lady let her watch over the door, which is too ruthless and too cruel."
"Aren't you afraid that your second aunt will be angry?"
"The second aunt will not be angry, the old lady should be angry." Song Ruoxi's eyes turned slightly, "And my mother must have been to the second aunt."
Ji Yun smiled, "Qinghe comes in."
Qinghe walked in and greeted the two of them.
"Kneel down." Ji Yun said.
Qinghe kneeled on the ground.
Song Ruoxi was stunned. What's wrong?
"Qinghe, Miss Seven will be your master from now on, do you understand?" Ji Yun said in a deep voice.
"I understand." Qinghe kowtowed.
Song Ruoxi looked at Ji Yun and Qinghe again. They understood, but she didn't understand. Who can explain it to her?
Ji Yun picked up the small box next to her, "Minn, Qinghe and the servants in your yard are all here. I've given it to you. You have to take good care of this yard."
"Mom, did I do something wrong and make you angry?" Song Ruoxi asked timidly without picking up the box.
Ji Yun laughed and said, "Silly child, you have grown up and become sensible. Mom is not too happy yet. I'm angry with that door. Mom can't help you walk away all the time. Mom decided to let you take care of your yard first, and after half a year, you'll hand over the Zhuyin yard to you."
"Mom, you scared me to death. I thought I didn't want me, so I didn't care about me." Song Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief, "Get up Qinghe."
"I'm 100 years old and I'm worried for ninety-nine years." Ji Yun reached out and pinched her nose gently, "Even if I'm gone in the future, I'll look at you in the sky."
"Mom, you will definitely live a hundred years old." Song Ruoxi leaned into Ji Yun's arms, "By the way, mom, why did the sixth sister hold the banquet and the fifth sister have not done it yet?"
"Five girls are half a month younger than Six girls."
