Chapter 306 The Path to Becoming Empress for a Concubine's Daughter (5)
The matter concerning the Marquis of Wuding's residence has not yet been resolved.
If Bai Ruofu had married another man, with her behind her back, those things wouldn't have affected her much.
If she could marry the emperor, then she had no say in the matter.
-
The banquet is over.
Upon returning to the Marquis of Wuding's residence, Song Wanning received a letter from her younger brother, Song Yunjin.
In the letter, Song Yunjin expressed his dissatisfaction with Xu Jinchen between the lines.
That despicable young emperor, stealing my love with a knife!
shameless!
Song Wanning: "..."
Although he knew that Song Yunjin and Xu Jinchen were like brothers, an emperor is an emperor, and being in a high position, he can't help but be suspicious.
Song Wanning wrote a lengthy article criticizing her brother's impulsiveness.
Then she advised him to stop dreaming of marrying a swan, as Bai Ruofu clearly didn't care about him.
Fearing to offend the emperor, she did not directly say that Bai Ruofu had feelings for Xu Jinchen.
Song Wanning has been through this before.
Even if Bai Ruofu didn't say anything, she could tell.
The girl's gaze was as gentle as water.
When she felt Xu Jinchen's gaze, her breathing became noticeably more rapid.
She kept her head down, pretending well, and wasn't discovered.
Song Wanning knew that it wasn't fear of the emperor.
The younger sister-in-law she had raised was the most dignified in public. Not to mention the emperor, even the Jade Emperor himself could not find fault with her behavior.
It seems this mess at the Marquis of Wuding's residence needs to be resolved quickly.
-
The old lady couldn't wait any longer.
He brought Bai Xiangcheng to Song Wanning's courtyard.
“Wan Ning, I think this child is quite good. He has a bit of Yi Chi’s look. Having him around is like Yi Chi has returned…”
"Why don't you adopt him as your son and make him your and Yichi's eldest son?"
Bai Xiangcheng bowed respectfully, saying, "Your son greets his mother."
A hint of disdain flashed across his eyes.
Before Song Wanning could even nod in agreement, Bai Xiangcheng was already calling her "Mother."
They weren't there to ask for Song Wanning's opinion.
It was clearly coercion.
Song Wanning was not angry, and even agreed: "Okay, I think this child is a good one."
The old lady was speechless, not expecting Song Wanning to agree so quickly.
She thought she would have to use a lot of words.
That's good, it shows that Song Wanning is sensible.
Thinking of Bai Ruofu again, the old lady said, "That girl Afu is lucky. If she can enter the palace to serve the emperor, with you and her supporting Cheng'er, Cheng'er's future will be immeasurable."
Song Wanning neither agreed nor disagreed.
The higher the rank of the parents, the less likely they are to send their daughters to the palace unless they are after power.
The old lady never took Bai Ruofu seriously at all.
That's perfect, she can take advantage of that.
"I understand the Emperor's temperament to some extent. His majesty cannot be offended. Afu has lived a secluded life for a long time and is still a concubine's daughter. She is very easy to anger him. In that case, forget about helping Cheng'er..."
Enough talking.
The old lady already understood the implications.
Moreover, she didn't want to admit Bai Ruofu's excellence from the bottom of her heart.
How could a concubine's daughter have such a good life?
It's likely that the emperor only glanced at her a few times on a whim.
She wasn't lucky enough to become a concubine.
Not to mention becoming empress, or even being with Xu Jinchen for life~
"What should we do then?" The old lady was at a loss.
Song Wanning said, "Why don't I recognize her as my sworn sister? From now on, she will be a daughter of the Song family, and you can remove her from the family register. After all, the Emperor was once a student of my father, so he will surely forgive Afu for the sake of the Song family."
“Mother, this is all I can do for the Marquis of Wuding’s mansion.”
