Having heard this, if you still don't understand where today's trouble came from, Song Yi Xiao can immediately die: "Second Young Mistress! It must be her!"

  The matter of the mastiff entering the palace was deliberately kept under wraps. Especially now, just a few days have passed, how would Song Yuan and Liu Zhenxi know about it if no one from the palace told them? Not to mention that Song Yixiao sprained her ankle again because of this!

  Song Yixiao can remember that the father of Jin's maiden family, the second young lady, was the Minister of Personnel, who happened to be in charge of official promotions and demotions. He had crippled her and married her off to Liu Zhiyin, which could directly turn the notorious Liu family into a reformed image, but what good would it do for the Song family?

  Song Yuan was willing to agree to this marriage, definitely because Jin family promised to help him revive his career!

  Otherwise, even if he didn't like Song Yixiao this daughter, it's not worth handing her over to the Liu family to humiliate her. After all, this is also a slap in the face for the Song family!

  "Jin Shi! You vicious thing!!! At this moment, Song Yi Xiao truly hated that second wife of the Wang Fu to the bone!"

  She clenched her fist and restrained the urge to go find Jin Shi immediately, raised an eyebrow and sneered at Liu Zhenxi: "Liu Shilang really has a good idea! However, you only know that my ankle was recently injured, but do you know why I got this injury?"

  Before Liu Zhenxiang could respond, she continued, "It's because when my mother took me to the silk store to pick out fabric, I was accidentally pushed and sprained it! As a result, after that injury healed, just one or two days later, I jumped down from the tree and hurt it again - the person who accidentally injured me at the silk store was none other than Yan Guo Gong Jian Xu Bai Jian Gege!"

  She sneered, "Although Brother Jian's status is noble, he's not an unreasonable person! He was so remorseful for hurting me that if his third uncle hadn't arrived to call him back to the Long Princess Mansion to celebrate her birthday, he would have personally sent me back to the Hengshan Wang Mansion at the time! Although later on, he only sent someone to escort me, but also promised to come visit me when he had a chance. If Brother Jian knew that my injured foot was calculated by the Liu family, I wonder what he would do? Or are you confident that you can block me from telling him about this for the rest of your life?"

  Song Yi smiled with a mocking gaze and an arrogant expression, looking confident, but in fact she had no idea what to do next - the only thing she could think of was to bring up Jian Yu.

  Fortunately, Liu Zhenxi's gentle and amiable face finally turned gloomy: "How old is the Duke of Yan? He was just joking for a moment. If he really valued you, why didn't he invite you to his birthday?"

  These words sound like distrust, but are actually a test, which shows that Liu Zhenxi has already been wary!

  Can't you tell, Song Yixiao? Her heart suddenly calmed down, and she coldly said: "Lyu Shilang, aren't you confused?! Let me tell you, I was injured at that time! In this situation, Jian Gege urged me to go back and rest, isn't that being considerate?"

  "What's so precious about her?" Liu Zhenxi's face turned even more unsightly, and he fell silent for a moment before looking at Song Yuan. However, he saw that Song Yuan was staring fixedly at his daughter, his expression changing unpredictably, with an increasing amount of gloom and disgust in his eyes: "Indeed, like mother, like daughter, such a young age, yet already..."

  Flirting everywhere!

  The second half of the sentence was not spoken by Song Yuan, but Song Yi Xiao had already guessed - in fact, she understood that Song Yuan's words were not entirely out of dislike for her daughter, but ultimately, it was still because of Wei Mengying!

  It's no wonder that Song Yuan is still resentful about this, and even takes it out on his only daughter: after all, Song Yuan has been married to Wei Mengying for ten years, and under the pressure of his mother, Madame Pang, he has never taken a concubine, which is really very good among husbands these days.

  As a result, Wei Mengying still "couldn't bear her mother-in-law's harsh treatment" and remarried - if she had married poorly, Song Yuan could have been somewhat psychologically balanced; unexpectedly, she actually married a prince!

  Can Song Yuan escape becoming a laughing stock for everyone in the imperial court?

  "Mother is indeed wrong, but what did I do wrong?" Song Yi smiled and could understand her father's feelings, but after experiencing the previous life and then hearing Liu Zhenxi's words, she really couldn't muster up any sympathy for this father, and thought indifferently, "Can't take revenge on mother, so taking it out on me? Am I not human, won't feel heartache or sadness?"

  She raised her eyes and smiled faintly: "Dad, don't say that. If it weren't for Brother Jian being approachable and taking me to find someone to apply medicine after accidentally hurting me, I wouldn't have had the guts to get to know him."

  But it was again hinting at an improper relationship with Jian Yu Bai.

  Song Yuan heard this and her eyes showed even more disgust, but Liu Zhenxi hesitated for a moment, coughing to mediate: "My niece has just returned, let's rest first! If there's anything, we'll talk about it later?"

  "Dad is my own dad, how can I not hate myself for hating my own dad! But what does the Liu family have to do with me? Liu Shilang, you'd better take care of yourself!" Song Yi laughed at the sight, feeling a long sigh of relief - if she were to be crippled here, even if she didn't marry into the Liu family, her life would still be ruined!

  Although it has not completely escaped danger, it has at least resolved the imminent disaster!

  But she was afraid of being seen through her bluff, so before leaving, she still threw out a threatening sentence, made a fearless gesture, and left with a cold smile.

  It wasn't until he was confined in the writing studio that he collapsed onto the couch, clutching his chest, and let the cold sweat instantly soak through his heavy clothes!

  "Miss, what did the master say to you?" Zhao's mother and others had been worried since Song Yixiao was called into the study room alone. They hadn't had a chance to ask until now, when they were all dismissed and the doors and windows were closed. "Why is your face so pale?"

  Liu Zhenxi was also in the study. Song Yi laughed, but soon felt both fearful and indignant, her hands and feet going soft and weak, unable to muster any strength. She leaned against the hidden pocket for a while before weakly saying, "He convinced Father to betroth me to his son Liu Zhidi!"

  Zhao's mother was stunned, and Bao's mother also felt incredulous: "Has Old Man Song gone mad? Now everyone in the capital is saying that he is not kind to you, and yet he still wants to marry you off to the Liu family?! What did the Liu family promise him that made him disregard even his own dignity?"

  Liu Zhenxi said, "If I'm fine, Father will marry me off to the Liu family, and that would be a scandal!" Song Yi smiled, covering her face with her sleeve, and sobbed, "But if I were crippled, the Liu family's eldest son would still marry me. That would be the Liu family's sincere attempt to resolve the feud between our families and create a beautiful story! This way, no one will say that the Liu family doesn't know how to teach their daughters anymore!"

  "How can you be like this?!" Zhao's mother was so angry that she almost spat out blood, and she stood up suddenly, wanting to go find Song Yuanfen to say, "You are his only legitimate flesh and blood after all!"

  "Come back!" Madam Bo stopped her in time, "If Old Master Song truly cares about Miss, can he still help the Liu family coax Miss back this time? It's clear that they've made up their minds! What use is a mere slave like you going there? Utter nonsense!"

  Was it Wei Mengying's confidant, or was it Thin Mama's keen perception that caught the key point? "How could Miss be crippled for no reason? Are they planning to make a fuss about Miss's injury?"

  Song Yi smiled secretly in praise of her cleverness, nodding: "When Liu Zhenxi said that, she kept staring at my ankles. I'm sure it's like this! Otherwise, why would they use the excuse of their grandmother being seriously ill to force me to rush back in a flurry?"

  She cried again, "Before, mother was worried that my foot injury wasn't fully healed, and this place definitely wouldn't take good care of me... I didn't expect... never expected..."

  "The matter of the mastiff entering the palace was sealed off by the queen's orders as soon as it happened!" Thin Mama lived up to her expectations, immediately thinking, "Miss Lian's foot injury is also... this thing has only happened for a few days now, how would Old Master Song know about it when he's far away in his villa outside the city?"

  "And besides, crippling Miss and marrying her off to the young master of the Liu family, this matter clearly only benefits the Liu family, what benefit does it bring to the Song family? Even if Old Master Song doesn't like Miss, he shouldn't humiliate his own daughter like this, should he?"

  The real culprit behind the scenes is obvious, "It must be Second Young Madam! Her father, Jin Su Ke, was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in charge of official promotions. It's definitely her doing, otherwise why would Old Master Song agree to marry off Miss to the Liu family?!"

  "Mother said that this time, it seems to be targeting me, but in fact, it's actually aimed at Niang?! After all, Second Young Madam dislikes me, isn't it because I'm Niang's daughter?" Song Yi smiled, waiting for her to say exactly that!

  Upon hearing this, she immediately let out a cry of surprise and revealed a worried expression. "Heavens! If he's already being so cruel to me, how much more vicious will he be towards my mother?"

  "Come on, both moms! Think of something quickly! We can't let our daughter fall into the trap! Otherwise... otherwise..."

  As if choking with sobs, she began to cry.

  Zhao's mother quickly came up and hugged her to comfort her, but Bao's mother was not in the mood, sitting there with a increasingly furrowed brow, lost in deep thought.

  Song Yishang smiled with satisfaction, thinking to herself: "Although I don't know whether Second Young Mistress is just trying to vent her anger on me this time or if she really has a plan to take down both my mother and me. But... Thin Mother is after all someone who can help my mother get rid of an enemy and also help me get out of trouble, the enthusiasm is not the same! This time I'm in real danger, I have no choice but to coax her into using her for my benefit once!"

  However, whether it is waving a white flag or guiding Thin Mother's thoughts, although both are self-rescuing, neither can guarantee complete safety!

  Song Yi Xiao leaned against her wet nurse's bosom, sobbing: "The Jin and Liu families don't need to be considered, they won't be good for me! Thinking of escaping from this life, I can only start with Father and Grandmother - the problem is that Father has obviously shifted his resentment towards Mother onto me, otherwise, even if it was just for show, he shouldn't have agreed to cripple me and hand me over to the Liu family!"

  "So, the only breakthrough can only be Grandma! Although Grandma may hate Mom more than Dad, she is more concerned about Dad's future and life. If I have to choose between following Mom and being a loser with her, or having Dad not end up well either, Grandma will definitely not allow it!"

  Seizing this opportunity, she believed that she could persuade her mother-in-law to protect herself, after all, she had been planning for a long time how to deal with this grandmother.

  The current problem is that she was directly thrown into this writing pavilion, and it's unclear whether she'll be allowed to go serve her grandmother tomorrow.
