Chapter 147: Such a waste
Ye Youran sighed helplessly: "Second Miss Song, there is no need to be angry, and there is no need to blame Third Brother. He has asked Concubine Tong for it many times, but what can you do if Concubine Tong refuses to give it to you?"
Noticing that people around him began to whisper, Ye Youran acted even more helpless: "Empress Tong feels that only Sister Yunxi is worthy of the flawless white jade headpiece. What do you want Third Brother to do? Are you going to steal or rob it?"
"So, Miss Second really doesn't need to be angry with Brother Third over that white jade headdress, and there's no need to embarrass Sister Yunxi."
As a senior imperial merchant, the Tong family naturally had many rare treasures, but the white jade headdress was the best of the best. Many people had heard of it or seen it, and some even offered a large sum of money to buy it, but the head of the Tong family refused them all.
Afterwards, the headdress appeared in the palace of Concubine Tong.
I heard that the emperor had considered buying the white jade headdress several times to raise funds for the military when the treasury was empty. After all, it was a rare treasure that was priceless.
But the emperor still had to save face, so he only expressed this thought but never actually asked for it.
Unexpectedly, Song Muxue also coveted the white jade headdress, and even asked Prince Kang to ask Concubine Tong for it again and again.
No wonder he is so close to King Kang!
Even though it is a treasure, he has given up his dignity for the sake of appearance. He is worthy of being born by a wet nurse. Even if he is raised with fine clothes and delicious food, it is hard to change his lowly nature.
Upon hearing that Concubine Tong had given the white jade headdress to Song Yunxi, Song Muxue was indeed very angry about it. She also secretly blamed Ye Xuanling for being useless in her heart. She hated Song Yunxi even more and had been looking for an opportunity to teach Song Yunxi a lesson, but all this was just a thought.
She didn't expect to be exposed by Ye Youran in public. It was like being stripped naked in front of everyone, leaving her embarrassed and with nowhere to hide.
If it were someone else, she could cry and act pitiful to gain sympathy, but the person who exposed her in public was Ye Youran, the princess who was now quite favored by the emperor. Could she say that everything the princess said was false?
One mistake might cause the emperor to be furious.
So she could only carefully defend herself: "I have never expected anything that does not belong to me. The Ninth Princess must have misunderstood."
Ye Youran blinked innocently: "Did you misunderstand? I was in the Jade Palace of Concubine Tong at that time, but I heard it from my third brother with my own ears. Could it be that my third brother also misunderstood Miss Song?"
Song Muxue felt that it would be a mistake to say more at this moment, but in her heart she secretly cursed Ye Xuanling for being more of a hindrance than a help.
Shen Zhikang also felt ashamed, and his whole body exuded a gloomy and terrifying aura, which made Song Muxue shiver uncontrollably.
He was of course aware of Song Muxue's approach to Prince Kang, and he acquiesced to it. After all, if the Sixth Prince wanted to succeed in his bid for the throne, he needed financial support. Prince Kang's business ability and the Tong family behind him were both strong supports for them in their bid for the throne.
But even if he acquiesced, once the fact that Song Muxue was close to Prince Kang was revealed to everyone, his self-esteem and pride would not allow it. After all, using his own woman to win over other men was indeed a sign of incompetence and cowardice in the eyes of others.
The tense atmosphere was about to explode. Pian Ye Xuan Ke was a short-sighted person who was always looking for trouble. He immediately began to mock Shen Zhikang: "Shen Shizi, your father has demoted your title, but it is still a marquisate after all. It shouldn't be so short of money that you have to let your concubine show up in public, right? That would be too useless."
Shen Zhikang's mood had undergone some mysterious changes recently due to his impotence. Now being ridiculed so bluntly by Ye Xuanke, he felt that the eyes cast by people around him were looking down on his incompetence, which made all his calm rationality collapse in an instant.
Noticing his abnormal mood, Song Muxue was frightened and whispered to dissuade him: "Brother Zhikang, you must calm down and don't let them provoke you!"
Under normal circumstances, Shen Zhikang would be able to suppress his emotions, but at this moment he felt that Song Muxue seemed to be hiding the affair between her and King Kang, so how could he listen to her advice?
He cursed Song Muxue as a bitch in his heart and pushed her to the ground.
Song Muxue was stunned by the fall. She never dreamed that Shen Zhikang would treat her so violently.
The sweet moments they had shared under the moonlight in their previous life flashed through her mind. Shen Zhikang, who was so gentle and affectionate, made it impossible for her to associate him with the man in front of her with the bloodshot eyes and vicious face.
She didn't know why Shen Zhikang had become so impulsive and violent, and she didn't understand why even her relationship with Shen Zhikang was different from in her previous life.
Why was everything different? Everything and everyone was slipping out of her control.
Song Muxue subconsciously looked at Song Yunxi——
That’s right, ever since she was expelled from Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion, everything has been different from her previous life.
Leaving Ningyuan Marquis Mansion...
Song Muxue's pupils suddenly dilated, and her eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.
Everyone believed that Song Yunxi was forced to leave Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and sever all ties, even she thought so.
After all, she did a lot of things to completely drive Song Yunxi out of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
But is this really the case? Was Song Yunxi really forced to leave?
It seemed to have started when thunder and fire fell from the sky and burned the main courtyard and her courtyard, and Master Huicheng was asked to come down the mountain by his father.
That time, Master Huicheng predicted that Song Yunxi was doomed to be alone, so she was expelled from the house.
Later, fire fell from the sky and burned down the entire Wenyuan Marquis Mansion. The fact that she and Song Yunxi had their birth dates wrong was exposed, and then everything became increasingly out of control.
Tianhuo and Master Huicheng are the key to the changes.
However, the matter of the heavenly fire had not only been investigated by his father and brother, but also by Shen Zhikang in secret, and even the Jingzhao Prefecture had investigated it, and there was no sign of any human involvement.
As for Master Huicheng, the time he arrived at Lingyun Temple did not match the time Song Yunxi returned to the capital at all, and the two had no intersection at all.
Moreover, it is impossible for Master Huicheng to fake his amazing predictions.
Did she really think too much?
Song Muxue's unpredictable look when she looked at her made Song Yunxi feel alert, wondering what evil plans she was up to.
"Song Yunxi!"
Seeing Song Muxue lying on the ground looking aggrieved and pitiful, Song Zhening was furious and rushed over to attack Song Yunxi without thinking.
But Ye Xuanqi didn't give him any chance to get close to Song Yunxi. He raised his foot and kicked him on the knee. Song Zhening's legs went soft and he knelt down in front of Song Yunxi.
Song Yunxi protested to Ye Xuanqi dissatisfiedly: "Who asked you to meddle in other people's business?"
She had already gathered her inner strength and was ready to kick Song Zhening away, so that he would have to stay in bed for a few months.
