Chapter 151 A subtle reminder
The eldest princess asked anxiously, "What did your second brother say?"
"I guess the princess doesn't care, and there's no need for her to know."
Song Yunxi was completely desperate for the eldest princess, and casually handed over the gift she had prepared: "Today is the eldest princess' birthday, so I wish the eldest princess and Ji Xuze a life of loving mother and filial son, and never come to harm my second brother again."
If anyone else dared to speak to the princess like this, their life would be in danger today, but after all, she is Miss Song.
Even if she didn't care about the Imperial Master's Mansion, the eldest princess would not make things difficult for her for the sake of the Second Young Master.
At this time, the eldest princess didn't care about Song Yunxi's attitude towards her at all. Anyway, this girl had never given her a good face since she was a child, and she had long been used to it.
She was just sad but also full of expectation: "Doesn't your second brother have anything to give me?"
"No."
Song Yunxi was too lazy to bother with the princess, so she turned around and left without any courtesy.
The eldest princess was the only daughter of the late emperor. She was a female Zhuge Liang who was as capable as any man. The eldest princess’ support helped Emperor Qinglong ascend to the throne.
But why did he become so brainless and confused when he met the deceased Su Anbo?
As the eldest princess, what kind of man could she not want? As long as she was happy, she could keep many male lovers in the princess's mansion. But she was deeply in love with Ji Hongwen. She had been a widow for many years since he died. She didn't know why such an impotent man was worthy of her devotion!
Even if Song Yunxi was reborn, she would never be able to understand the eldest princess.
After Song Yunxi left, the eldest princess could no longer control herself and burst into tears: "Old Four, do you also want to scold me for being partial and unworthy of being a mother like that girl Yunxi?"
Ye Xuanqi said indifferently, "Aunt is willing to promote that cheap son, so I have no right to interfere. But if your cheap son dares to have ideas about Yunxi again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
He knew very well that because of the last time Ji Xuze colluded with Shen Qiaoping to drug his second cousin, Ji Xuze was already on Song Yunxi's death list.
Now Ji Xuze is still allowed to live freely, probably because he has the same suspicion about that matter as he did.
He could save Ji Xuze's life temporarily, but if he dared to plot against Song Yunxi, he would have to let him experience the power of the devil in advance.
The princess looked bewildered: "Xu Ze...he treats Yun Xi..."
She had a vague premonition in her heart, but she was unwilling to admit it.
Ye Xuanqi sneered: "Hasn't Aunt already guessed it? He wants to marry Yun Xi to rise to the top, but let's see if he has the fate to marry her!"
Not to mention that the Emperor and Uncle Tian would never agree to it, just the three lunatics in the Imperial Master's Mansion could easily make Ji Xuze have no way to escape death.
What's more, there is no way he could just sit back and do nothing.
Ji Xuze had hinted to the princess about his desire to marry Song Yunxi, and the princess also understood his thoughts, so she resolutely and firmly ordered him to give up the idea.
He responded obediently, but he didn't expect that he was still coveting Song Yunxi behind her back, and even teamed up with the Shen family to pull that girl down from the cloud.
The funny thing is that if Ye Xuanqi hadn’t said it, she would have had no idea at all.
She even had some doubts. Was this son really as filial and obedient as she knew him to be?
After all, she was his biological aunt, and she had taken good care of him since he was a child. Ye Xuanqi couldn't bear to see her being kept in the dark, so after some hesitation, he reminded her cryptically: "Aunt, you should check who Ji Xuze had contacted behind your back, so as to avoid... avoid making a big mistake."
At a time like this, he actually wanted to take advantage of his aunt's care and regard for Ji Xuze. How sad!
But only when it concerns Ji Xuze's safety, will my aunt really investigate carefully and find a result.
Song Yunxi appeared at the banquet again unharmed, which disappointed many people who were looking forward to seeing her make a fool of herself.
Come to think of it, the eldest princess was able to vent her anger by driving out Marquis Wenyuan's family, so how could she possibly make things difficult for her?
Ye Youran and Zhou Churou, who had just arrived, pulled her along. Zhou Churou whispered in her ear, "Yunxi, I saw Zhao Yunxuan getting on Song Muxue's carriage on the way here. I don't know what they are planning. You must be more careful."
Ye Youran felt that she had reached her limit of endurance: "Sister Yunxi, can't you think of a way to kill that fake Song Muxue?"
Watching her causing trouble in the capital city all day long, I could not help wanting to kill her.
Song Muzaifa had really angered everyone by being able to make such an innocent girl like Ye Youran want to kill him.
But not now.
In her previous life, Song Muxue had contacts with the royal families of Northern Chu and Southern Yue, and had an extremely large information network. Before everything is investigated and all information networks are eradicated, Song Muxue must be kept for the safety of the Jin'an Dynasty.
In the face of the safety of our country and our family, personal grudges and hatreds are not worth mentioning.
Zhou Churou was also very annoyed: "How can Song Muxue be so shameless? She stole everything from you and still plotted against you. Even the hell wouldn't accept a person like her after she died, because she thinks it's unlucky!"
Song Yunxi knew that they were all sincere for her own good, so she could only be patient and find a reason to appease her: "Don't you want to investigate the mastermind behind the robbery of your Furong Pavilion?"
Zhou Churou's eyes lit up: "Do you have any clues?"
Song Yunxi just smiled and said, "I guess so!"
Although all the clues now point to Yuzhou, she has a hunch that it is related to Song Muxue.
Hearing her say this, Ye Youran nudged Zhou Churou with his elbow and said, "Then let's just be patient. After all, your gouache shop makes a lot of money. You can't let others get away with that much money."
"That is required!"
Zhou Churou said with a determined look: "My Furong Pavilion is going to provide dowries for the three of us, so we must take it back for this!"
Thinking of Zhou Churou crying and sympathizing with her because Song Muxue had taken everything away from her, and lamenting that Ye Youran had a hard time surviving in the deep palace, she immediately decided to use the Zhou family's most profitable Furong Pavilion as their dowry shop.
Song Yunxi burst out laughing. Even for her own share, she had to recover all the money that had been secretly transferred away from Furong Pavilion over the years.
The eldest princess' birthday banquet began as scheduled. Song Yunxi secretly observed the eldest princess's performance and could not help but sigh at her strong psychological quality again. She was so sad just now, but in the blink of an eye she was the noble and elegant eldest princess again.
As soon as the eldest princess appeared, Ji Xuze really became the center of attention. He was so dazzled by the illusion of being courted and flattered by everyone that he felt like he was floating on airs.
Although the eldest princess looked at him with loving eyes, Ye Xuanqi's words kept echoing in her mind. What on earth did Ji Xuze do without telling her as a mother? It even reached the point of endangering his life.
If something really happened to Ji Xuze, how would she explain to her husband in the afterlife?
So just now she sent out her secret guards to investigate, and she had to get to the bottom of it no matter what.
