Song Yixiao was taken aback at first, but then suddenly remembered: "Oh no! I forgot that Mother is counting on me to marry well, and now Lingdang has seen me recognize Jian Xubai, next she'll be urging me to rely on him!"

  She got along well with Jian Xu Bai today, actually there was a reason - first of all, she was afraid that the other party would guess that she was the real culprit who caused the tragedy of the Song and Liu families, so she simply used eighteen kinds of martial arts to flatter Jian Xu Bai, lest he suspect her.

  Secondly, Jian Xu Bai also didn't know what stimulation he received, and had to compete with his siblings for their father's love, to the point where he humbled himself and asked Song Yi Xiao, a little girl, to teach him how to throw a tantrum! Although Song Yi Xiao couldn't teach him, just asking this question was enough to make Jian Xu Bai lose face! Even if Song Yi Xiao didn't mock him, Jian Xu Bai's heart must have been in a mess.

  After Song Yi smiled and talked about what happened in the Song family, he immediately seriously analyzed that it was 80% to 90% likely a ploy to shift the embarrassment!

  So...

  They chatted so happily, purely with ulterior motives, tacitly understanding each other's intentions, and their seeming familiarity was just a facade!

  In fact, Song Yixiao was very suspicious. Turning back, Jian Yu Bai came back to his senses and didn't seem as eager to curry favor with his father as he did today. Would he be so ashamed that he wouldn't want to see himself for the rest of his life?

  Besides, she's only eight years old, it's too early to talk about marriage, and yet she's being asked to go around in circles with Jian Yu Bai!

  In short, this will be asked by Ling Tong, Song Yi's heart sank!

  "Oh, he just saw Qiu Jin walk away and I was left alone, looking quite pitiful, so he came to keep me company." She said nonchalantly, "What's up?"

  Ling Dang smiled ambiguously: "I see that you and Master Jian are quite compatible?"

  "This can't be said casually." Song Yi smiled and pursed her lips, saying lightly, "That person is being raised by the Empress Dowager herself, how can we discuss it carelessly?"

  "The young lady is right." Zhēng zhūn ran into a soft nail and knew she didn't want to talk about it, so he tactfully dropped the subject.

  She returned to the room where they were selecting fabrics, and Madame Mu had already left. Wei Mengying was sitting at the head of the table, staring blankly into space with a tea bowl in her hand, looking distracted. When she saw her daughter being carried in, she didn't even ask any questions, but directly announced that they would be returning to the Wang estate. It wasn't until they had entered the estate and returned to her own room that she suddenly came back to reality, exclaiming: "Xiao Xiao, what's going on?"

  Song Yixiao was taken aback, looking at Zhiqin, who also looked stunned, and then turned to look at Bao Mama - Bao Mama quickly whispered a reminder to Wei Mengying: "Just now, Zhiqin has already informed us that Miss Song was pushed down and twisted her foot in the silk weaving garden, but the person still had a conscience, took Miss to get medicine, and also let Zhiqin call for Rongdang to carry Miss Song back."

  Wei Mengying only then revealed a look of sudden realization: "Just now I was distracted and actually forgot about this matter!" She hastily asked Song Yixiao how she was feeling, whether it was serious or not.

  She said it would be fine in two or three days, and he secretly let out a sigh of relief. "After selecting the fabric, you still need to find someone to make it for you before you can wear it. This will take at least a few more days - if you recover in two or three days, it won't delay your school."

  Just as she was about to ask the injured girl what had happened, Ling Tong finally found an opportunity and reported excitedly: "The one who hurt Miss Song is actually Young Master Jian! Your Highness, I just went into that side room and saw Young Master Jian alone with Miss Song, chatting very intimately!"

  Song Yi smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, secretly thinking about what she would say next.

  She thought that Wei Mengying would be overjoyed by her own expectations, and would immediately light up with excitement, requiring herself to be more careful in the future - but actually, Wei Mengying's face suddenly fell, and she scolded Lingdang: "What nonsense are you spouting! Sima Gongzi is someone who was personally raised by the Empress Dowager, how could he not understand the propriety between men and women?! How could he possibly be alone in a room with Xiaoxiao, chatting away happily?!"

  Zheng Dong was completely stunned by this scolding!

  She wasn't following this master for the first time, after being stunned, she quickly understood and knelt down to apologize: "The slave knows her fault! The slave only wanted to play a joke on Miss Song, but didn't think that this remark would damage Miss Song's reputation!"

  "Watch your mouth from now on, or I'll have to discipline you!" Wei Mengying scolded her with a cold face, her sharp gaze sweeping around the room. Seeing that everyone had lowered their heads in understanding, she was satisfied and beckoned to her daughter, "Xiao Xiao, come here, Mom wants to remind you of something privately."

  Song Yixiao was perplexed by her sudden change, but Wei Mengying made the thin mother clear the scene and told her that she understood the reason: "This Jian Gong Ye may have a noble status, but Xixiao, don't get too close to him!"

  "Why?" Song Yi smiled and asked, it wasn't that she was unwilling, but rather curious.

  "Wei Mengying patiently said: 'Because there have been rumors in the palace that Her Majesty and Your Majesty are planning to match him with Princess Changxing. The golden branches and jade leaves of our dynasty are all so cunning, being treated as thorns in their eyes, how can they live like this?'"

  Changxing Princess was the daughter of the Empress, and since Emperor Xianzong had not appointed a crown prince as his successor, he felt indebted to the Empress and therefore favored this legitimate daughter even more. This princess was about the same age as Song Yiliao, but both inside and outside the palace, she already had a reputation for being somewhat overbearing - Wei Mengying hoped that her daughter would marry well, but she didn't foolishly think that all of the talented young men in the world were potential sons-in-law. How could she not be afraid that her carefully raised daughter would be ruined by the princess with just a lift of her hand?

  No wonder it's said that when the daughter ran into Jian Yu Bai, she didn't have any intention of hitting him with a stick, but instead advised her to keep a distance from this man.

  "It's fine as long as you understand, I think Lord Jian won't take the initiative to find you again." Wei Mengying saw Song Yiliao's hesitant expression and thought she was intimidated by the princess, so she comforted her, "You're still young - mother will teach you about these things slowly in the future."

  Back to the topic, "After a few days, you'll have everything ready and be about to start school. The others at the girls' school are all right, but there's one person who needs extra attention!"
