Chapter 101 Song Siyao handed in a blank paper
"Miss, I heard that the Third Madam went to the Song residence to see the Third Miss and told her exactly what the Second Madam Meng had said. The Third Miss was so angry that she smashed things and cursed people on the spot, losing all her composure. Everyone around was frightened and thought she had gone mad."
"She kept her pregnancy a secret until now, and only Xilan, who served her personally, knew about it. Now that this has happened, it has spread throughout the Song family, the General's Mansion, and even the entire capital."
"Now, everyone is talking about how the former most talented woman in the capital is now pregnant out of wedlock. Not only is there no dowry, but she can only be a concubine. Even if she enters the mansion, her future days will definitely not be easy."
"The General's Mansion was quick too. They just found someone and picked a date and it was settled. Some people said that the General's Mansion chose an auspicious day too casually. But what Madam Meng said was that, to put it nicely, it was about marrying a second wife, and to put it bluntly, it was about taking a concubine. Why bother with an auspicious day? These are proper etiquette and rules, which are reserved for the future principal wife."
……
Hongshao became more and more venting as she spoke, and she talked on and on for quite a while.
After she finished speaking, Song Siyao asked, "You said Song Yu'er is more than a month pregnant?"
"Yes, Miss, it was the Third Miss herself who said it. Because she's pregnant, she wants to get married as soon as possible before her belly is noticeable. Who knew the General's Mansion doesn't want her to enter the family at all?" Hong Shao said sarcastically.
“Her physical condition currently makes it impossible for her to conceive,” Song Siyao said.
Hong Shao asked in surprise, "Miss, how did you know?"
"You can tell at a glance," Song Siyao said casually.
Hong Shao laughed and said, "Oh, the Ghost Doctor's medical skills are unparalleled. You can tell at a glance."
“You’ll get beaten up for being a chatterbox,” Song Siyao said, pretending to be fierce to scare Hong Shao.
Hongshao feigned fear, saying, "This servant will never dare to do it again."
Song Siyao smiled slightly.
After the joke, Hongshao asked curiously, "Miss, according to you, the Third Miss's pregnancy is fake. Is she doing this to force the General's Mansion to marry her quickly? After all, given her current situation, if the General's Mansion breaks off the engagement, she may not be able to get married."
"I will make sure she marries into the General's Mansion successfully," Song Siyao said coldly.
Hong Shao asked in confusion, "Why would Miss help her?"
"Help her? I'm not that kind."
Song Siyao's lips curled into a smile, her face full of coldness. "The General's Mansion is a pit of fire. Even if she wanted to run away, I would push her in. Now that she wants to go herself, of course I will grant her wish and let her lock herself up with the scumbag and the evil mother-in-law. Let them kill each other and not come out to harm others."
Hong Shao nodded, looking satisfied. "You're so clever, Miss."
"Go and call Cang Yue here," Song Siyao ordered.
"Yes, ma'am."
After Hong Shao left, Cang Yue came in a while later. "Master, did you look for me?"
Song Si shook his head, "Go and help Song Yu'er..."
"Yes, Master." Cang Yue had something to report, "Master, we've found the person who bought three hundred cups of milk tea."
Song Siyao asked, "Who is it?"
"Huo Ye," Cang Yue asked, "Sect Master, should we stop him?"
“No need. I’m the seller, and he’s the buyer. This is a normal business transaction. As long as he doesn’t overstep any boundaries, we don’t need to pay attention to him,” Song Siyao said to Cang Yue. “You may leave.”
"Yes, Pavilion Master." Cang Yue left.
If the guest behind her was Huo Ye, Song Siyao would know what his purpose was; Huo Ye was trying to get close to her in various ways.
If she tries to stop Huo Ye, the two of them will cross paths, wouldn't that be exactly what Huo Ye planned?
She ignored him, and Huo Ye bought as much as he wanted. After a while, when there was no response, he naturally stopped buying.
Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.
The fact that Song Yu'er was pregnant out of wedlock has become a topic of conversation among everyone. Besides this, there is another thing that everyone is talking about: Su Taifu was so angry with Song Siyao that he vomited blood.
This morning, Grand Tutor Su did not attend the court session; instead, Su Yizhou conveyed his request for leave to Emperor Changlong on his behalf.
When Emperor Changlong inquired about the reason, Su Yizhou only said that Grand Tutor Su was unwell, but he did not elaborate on the real reason.
Emperor Changlong did not ask, because he knew that Song Siyao had angered Grand Tutor Su to the point of vomiting blood, and he felt extremely pleased.
He also wanted to make Grand Tutor Su so angry that he vomited blood, but he couldn't do that right now.
Not only could he not do that, he also had to care about Grand Tutor Su.
Therefore, he bestowed upon Grand Tutor Su precious medicinal herbs, instructing him to recuperate at home.
After Su Yizhou finished expressing his gratitude and left, Consort Xian hurriedly stepped in.
"Your Majesty, you must do justice for my father!" Consort Xian said, feeling wronged and angry.
"What's wrong, my beloved concubine?" Emperor Changlong asked.
Consort Xian recounted to Emperor Changlong what had happened between Song Siyao and Grand Tutor Su the previous day, as if pouring out beads. "Your Majesty, Song Siyao is disrespectful and arrogant. You must stand up for my father!"
"What does my beloved consort wish me to do?" Emperor Changlong asked.
"Summon Song Siyao to the palace, give her a scolding, a beating, and then make her apologize to my father." Consort Xian made no attempt to hide her emotions; she was always like this in front of Emperor Changlong, being her most authentic self.
Emperor Changlong looked at Consort Xian with a dark gaze. "On what grounds can I punish Miss Song the Second? It was the teacher who took the initiative to seek her out. It was the teacher's chess skills that were inferior to hers. It was the teacher who lost the game and lacked magnanimity, which caused him to get angry and vomit blood. What does this have to do with Miss Song the Second?"
Consort Xian was shocked upon hearing this. "Your Majesty, how did you know..."
She told Emperor Changlong the truth after she had distorted it; she did not expect that Emperor Changlong already knew everything.
Emperor Changlong interrupted Consort Xian, "Step down."
Consort Xian pursed her lips, her face burning hot. Her false accusation against Song Siyao had been exposed; she felt embarrassed and resentful. She tried to coax Emperor Changlong into a smile, "Your Majesty, I..."
"Step back!" Emperor Changlong's tone grew harsher. "Consort Xian, I hope you live up to the title of 'virtuous' bestowed upon you by me. Song Siyao is the only descendant of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Do not bully her!"
Consort Xian was filled with anger. Emperor Changlong had never been so fierce to her before. Recently, because of Song Siyao, Emperor Changlong had become much colder to her.
She could not continue to pester him, lest she further annoy Emperor Changlong.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave."
As Consort Xian stepped out of the palace gate, the gentleness in her eyes vanished, replaced by a fierce glint. "Damn Song Siyao, if you don't die, I will never have peace."
She instructed the person beside her, "Kongxin, go... do it carefully, don't let anyone find out."
"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will take care of it immediately," Kongxin said.
Not only the Virtuous Consort, but also Grand Tutor Su was humiliated by Song Siyao this time. He knew that Song Siyao could not be used by him, so he would destroy her.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the day for the Qingyun Academy's teacher recruitment examination arrived as scheduled.
Today is September 17th, the day the assessment results are released.
There is a notice board at the entrance of Qingyun Academy, and it was crowded with people early in the morning.
At Chenshi (7-9 AM), the abbot came out with the list and posted it. Everyone immediately crowded around to find their names.
First place: Wei Hongjin.
……
Last place, Song Siyao, special note: blank paper.
