Chapter 777 Is the Prime Minister's Residence So Poor?
"Aren't you the daughter of the Prime Minister? Don't you have even a penny to your name?"
Tang Xuening fell silent. She dared not make any more bets with Song Ruozhen. She was still being criticized by her father and brother for the losses she had suffered before.
If they found out that she had incurred so much debt after just one trip, she would probably be too ashamed to hold her head up in the mansion. They might just treat her as a nuisance and marry her off to any random family.
Seeing Tang Xuening with her head down and not saying a word, Qi Qingyi was furious.
"What a useless piece of trash!"
Song Ruozhen didn't give them a chance to hesitate or delay, and rode away with Chu Junting at full speed...
Qiyang City has beautiful scenery and unique food. This is Song Ruozhen's impression after spending two days in Qiyang City.
Because Qiyang City is not far from the imperial city, and it is also very prosperous, it has almost everything that the imperial city has.
"It seems my fourth brother's business is really doing well. We can see Song's fried chicken and barbecue here."
Song Ruozhen chuckled. She had bought some to try and found that the taste was indeed the same as that in the capital.
"Your Song family's business is now quite famous, not only in Qiyang City, but also in other cities."
The last time I saw your fourth brother, he mentioned his plans to expand further. Now everyone in the capital praises him as a business genius; even established brands can't match his skills.
A hint of pride flashed in Song Ruozhen's eyes. "My fourth brother's business acumen is truly exceptional. This can be considered as inheriting the mantle of our ancestors. Our Song family originally started out in business."
Just then, she overheard the conversation at the next table.
"I went to the capital last time. Not only does the Song family make delicious food, but their teahouse is also huge. I stayed in the capital for two extra days just to have a look inside."
I've truly witnessed what it means for tickets to be incredibly hard to get, and the storytelling was so captivating that you wanted to hear it all again and again.
"I've also heard about Song's Teahouse. It's quite expensive to get in. I've only ever passed by the entrance and never gone inside."
"The Legend of the White Snake is so interesting! I've never heard such a wonderful story before. I've also heard that The Romance of the Western Chamber is particularly interesting. It's just a pity I'm not from the capital!"
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, finding it quite amusing.
"I can now understand how Fourth Brother feels when he goes to other cities to do business. It is indeed quite fulfilling."
……
Prince Kang's Mansion.
Wu Yue'er's brows furrowed with displeasure. "King Kang is a prince, after all. Such a big event as his marriage, and none of the Princes of Chu, Xiao, and Liang are here. What kind of attitude is this?"
She had no interest in Prince Kang to begin with, but she had no other choice but to marry him reluctantly.
This marriage was originally a peace alliance between two dynasties, so it was naturally held in a grand and glorious manner, and the imperial palace also bestowed many rewards upon the couple.
She originally intended to show Song Ruozhen a good look, but she didn't expect that Song Ruozhen from the bed didn't even come!
She was already furious that the Prince of Chu's residence didn't come, but she didn't expect that neither the Prince of Xiao nor the Prince of Liang would come. This was clearly a disrespect to her, and it was really too much!
"Your Highness, please keep your voice down. It wouldn't be good if Prince Kang heard you," the maid whispered, trying to persuade her.
Wu Yue'er said with disdain, "He really is a good-for-nothing. They are all princes, so how can he be so much worse than the other princes?"
When King Kang arrived, he happened to hear Wu Yue'er's words, which made him even angrier, as he was already in a bad mood.
"If you have so many complaints about me, why do you insist on marrying me?"
Wu Yue'er hadn't expected that Prince Kang would overhear her so coincidentally. A hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said:
"Your Highness, I just feel that your brothers are really disrespectful to you. They didn't even come to such an important event as your wedding."
King Kang, seeing Wu Yue'er's affected manner, didn't bother with her pretentious behavior and said directly:
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just wanted to marry the Third Prince but failed."
If we get married, what are you expecting him to do? I advise you to behave yourself and give up on this idea as soon as possible. You've embarrassed yourself so many times before; you've already completely disgraced the princess.
If you don't want to make a fool of yourself again, I advise you to behave yourself!
"How could you talk to me like that? I was just telling the truth. They clearly don't respect you. Don't you think that's going too far?"
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I'm actually relieved that my brother didn't come."
Prince Kang looked calm. He didn't have much contact with his third brother on a regular basis. Although they weren't close, they didn't have any conflicts either.
I was initially worried that if my elder brother came to attend, Wu Yue'er might cause some trouble again, which would be a problem. But I was relieved to hear that my eldest and third elder brothers had gone to Qiyang City to handle a case.
However, it was quite strange that the fourth prince would take his sister-in-law out at this time.
"It's not surprising that the eldest and fourth princes left the capital to investigate a case. But the fourth prince..."
I heard that you and your fourth sister-in-law had a falling out, and now they've deliberately not come to the wedding. You should be able to figure out why, right?
Wu Yue'er was stunned, a look of astonishment flashing in her eyes. Recalling the humiliation she had suffered at the Liang Prince's mansion, she became even more furious.
"Qi Qingyi, this woman is even more disgusting than Song Ruozhen!"
Once Qi Qingyi returns, she will definitely settle this score with her!
"I didn't really want to marry you, but now that we're married, I advise you to behave yourself."
This is good for you and good for me. If you cause trouble again like before, I won't talk to you anymore.
King Kang lazily tossed out a sentence and turned to leave. Because he had married Wu Yue'er, he was now being ridiculed by many people, and there was nothing he could do about it. The blame had been placed on him, and he couldn't get it off his head.
The only thing we can do now is to keep Wu Yue'er quiet and prevent her from causing any more trouble!
After Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting spent two days together, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review resolved all the follow-up matters, and everyone returned to the capital together.
On the carriage.
“We sent people to investigate the person behind the scenes. Although that person has been rescued, we questioned the people along the way and found out some information.”
"Indeed, a group of people led him away, and the commotion was quite significant. After all, they were a group of men in black, and the people from other villages were terrified when they saw them and dared not look any longer."
Our men followed the directions they gave us and eventually found a body.
Chu Junting frowned slightly. "Is it possible to identify this person?"
"His face has been disfigured, and you can't see any of his original features anymore."
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review shook his head. "They just didn't want us to find out the person's identity, so they wanted to destroy the evidence. The face was a bloody mess, and you couldn't recognize any of the distinctive features."
