Chapter 910: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (32)
Song Qingting heard that the Seventh Prince was going to dine at Yunxianglou, the best restaurant in the capital, today, so she dressed up.
She sat in the room, repeatedly adjusting her makeup in front of the mirror, fearing that she had failed to cover up her blemishes. When she realized it was getting late, she hurried out.
As soon as she left the house, Zhou Zhiying knew about it, so she summoned a few guards and asked the coachman to drive the carriage out.
Song Qingting left the house secretly and did not dare to use a carriage, for fear that her mother would find out and not allow her to leave the house. So she walked slowly. Before she reached the restaurant, Zhou Zhiying and her guards blocked her way.
"Hey, isn't this sneaky person the second daughter of the prime minister's mansion? Where is she going so fast?" Zhou Zhiying played with the whip in her hand with a provocative look in her eyes.
Song Qingting stared at the whip in Zhou Zhiying's hand. What would happen if she lashed him out? She wasn't a daughter of a military commander, so why was she wielding a whip? And the lord actually allowed her to do so.
She secretly hated him, but she didn't dare to vent easily. After all, seeing Zhou Zhiying made her wound ache. She could only pretend to be calm and said, "County Lady, I just came out for a walk. What does it have to do with you? Please move aside."
Zhou Zhiying sneered: "What does it have to do with me? This road was not built by you, so why can't I leave? If you don't pay your respects to me, then this has something to do with me." After that, she waved her hand and the guards surrounded her.
Song Qingting retreated in fear and shouted, "How dare you commit such a crime in the capital?"
Zhou Zhiying disagreed: "It's disrespectful to the county lady. I'm just teaching you the rules." Song Qingting weighed the pros and cons in her mind and knew that if she didn't surrender today, she would have a hard time getting away, but she didn't want to bow her head to Zhou Zhiying at all.
Zhou Zhiying swung the whip, but her movements were not very skillful and she almost hit Song Qingting in the face, causing her to yell:
"County Lady, this is the capital, don't think you can do whatever you want. I remember your brother has a five-year-old daughter, you pinch and grab her every day, and now you want to whip her. Don't let this lead your niece astray and affect her marriage."
Zhou Zhiying slapped the ground with her whip, her expression furious. Her brother was eleven years older than her and already had a son and a daughter.
Before she came back, her princess mother loved her five-year-old granddaughter the most, saying that she looked like her when she was a child.
When the little girl was born, Zhou Zhiying had been missing for five years, and everyone guessed that a three-year-old child would definitely not survive.
Others said the princess's daughter had been reborn into her daughter-in-law's womb, and had come to the princess's mansion to become part of her family. It was natural for the princess to transfer her feelings for her daughter to her granddaughter.
Zhou Zhiying didn't like her little niece. How could they be alike? They weren't alike at all! Perhaps it was because of her little niece that her mother didn't look for her when she was lost, causing her to suffer for ten years.
"My niece is only five years old, why would you mind your own business?"
Song Qingting's eyes showed a look of joy, she knew that Zhou Zhiying hated the young lady from the princess's mansion.
When the two sides were in a stalemate, the seventh prince Zhao Jian happened to come over.
The Seventh Prince Zhao Jian saw this scene, frowned slightly, and scolded softly: "What are you doing? How disgraceful!"
Zhou Zhiying subsided a bit when she saw Zhao Jian coming, but she didn't let anyone disperse. She replied, "Seventh cousin, Song Qingting doesn't know the rules. She didn't even greet Ah Ying when she saw her. I was just teaching her a lesson."
Upon hearing this, Song Qingting hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, I just didn't have time to respond. It was the County Master who was deliberately making things difficult for me."
Song Qingting stared at Zhao Jian pitifully.
Zhao Jian looked at the two of them, thinking to himself. He knew Zhou Zhiying's fierceness and sympathized with Song Qingting, who was entangled by Zhou Zhiying. Moreover, Song Qingting was quite enthusiastic towards him.
So he said gently, "Cousin, for my sake, please forgive the little mistakes and don't take it to heart, okay?"
Zhou Zhiying snorted, "Cousin, you're still speaking for her. She has bad intentions and just wants to pester you."
When Zhao Jian heard this, he was puzzled. How did his cousin know this?
Is it possible that everyone already knows what Song Qingting is thinking?
Looking at the onlookers, especially those who were slightly excited and listening intently, Zhao Jian took a step back and waved his hand quickly, saying:
"Cousin, there might be a misunderstanding. Please don't say anything nonsense. It will affect Miss Song's reputation."
