Chapter 889: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (XI)

In Song Chen's view, the Seventh Prince was someone who caught the emperor's eye only because of his rescue, and his marriage was just a tool for the emperor to compensate his son. It would be impossible for him to ascend to the throne in the future, surpassing the Crown Prince and the Eldest Prince.

The Seventh Prince is already eighteen years old, and has not yet received an official position in the court. He lives on the monthly salary issued by the palace. His life is hard, and he may have to rely on his wife's dowry to maintain his face in the future.

Song Chen Shi didn't think the Seventh Prince was a good choice for a son-in-law. She looked down on him. She felt that the Seventh Prince, born to a palace maid whose mother was only a minor talent, was only fit to marry a woman from a third- or fourth-rank ministerial family. Her daughter, the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter, could definitely marry someone better. To snatch the Marquis of Annan away from her, she cried in front of the Prime Minister many times, even bringing her daughter along to cry and try to curry favor with him. She even went so far as to make her daughter go on a hunger strike.

After five or six days of fuss, the prime minister finally made a decision to let the eldest daughter marry into the royal family and the second daughter marry into the marquis's mansion. Now her daughter wanted to change her mind and stab her in the back!

Song Qingting had tears in her eyes.

"Mother, why are you hitting me? I'm trying to have a good discussion with you! My elder sister and I are both our father's legitimate daughters, so why should she marry into the royal family? I can't!"

Qingli just wanted to laugh when she heard this. She picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide her smile. She didn't know whether to call Song Qingting naive or stupid. She really thought the royal family was a good place! The surface was glamorous, but the inside was full of unknown wounds.

"Just because you are my daughter, I won't let you marry!"

It was obvious that Song Chen was not stupid. When she heard that her daughter was going to marry the seventh prince, she could not accept it at all and wanted to slap him again.

But Song Qingting was prepared, so Song Chenshi didn't hit anyone and almost fell down.

Song Chen fell to the ground in horror, but fortunately she was supported by Prime Minister Song.

Prime Minister Song helped his wife to stand up, and he could no longer bear it and shouted:

"Has the nonsense been enough? Come, send the Second Young Lady to the ancestral hall and kneel for three days! Kneel for six hours every day and eat only one steamed bun! Copy the family rules a hundred times! If you can't copy all the rules, keep kneeling!"

Qingli thought about the Song family's family rules. It was really a thick book. She really didn't know why the Song family had so many family rules. It was estimated that every generation of family head had added a few rules in the past three hundred years.

Mrs. Song Chen felt sorry for her troubled daughter again and quickly pleaded for her: "Master, Ting'er just fell into the water and is still sick. How can she kneel in the ancestral hall? Besides, eating one steamed bun a day is not enough for her! I will teach her a lesson and make her change her mind." Prime Minister Song didn't listen at all. Looking at his unconvinced daughter, he sneered: "She asked for trouble by falling into the water and getting sick. Now she has too many thoughts. Didn't she go on a hunger strike a few days ago and refused to marry the Seventh Prince? Just a few days later, she is clamoring to marry again. If the emperor finds out, he will think that our Song family has ulterior motives and dares to criticize the prince. Do you think it's just a sesame seed cake bought on the street, which you throw away if it doesn't taste good and eat more if it tastes good?"

"Master, Ting'er is young and it's normal for her to be ignorant. Please forgive her. Li'er, you don't want your sister to suffer in the ancestral hall, do you?"

When Qingli was called by her stepmother, she coughed and spoke incoherently.

"Father... cough cough cough cough... dear... cough cough cough..."

Prime Minister Song looked at his eldest daughter with heartache.

"Li'er, don't say anything. You just fell into the water. Hurry back and recuperate. You've been wronged this time. I've asked Old Song to prepare a batch of precious medicinal herbs to help you recover. It's your sister who's wronged you this time. As your father, I'll give you 30% of the dowry that the public will give when she gets married."

"Why do you want my dowry?"

Prime Minister Song glared at his daughter unhappily.

"The Song family's assets are naturally decided by me, the head of the family! You have no right to speak!"

He shouted outside, "Come here, quickly send the eldest lady back to Xianyue Residence, and send the second lady to the ancestral hall."

As she was escorted out of the study by two maids, Song Qingting was still feeling frustrated. In this life, she had just gone on a hunger strike. If she had returned a few days earlier, she wouldn't have been so passive. She wouldn't have had to push her elder sister into trouble. She could have simply asked to marry into the royal family.

Looking at Song Qingli who was being respectfully protected by the servants, Song Qingting realized how embarrassed she was.

"Go away, I can walk by myself, do I need you to hold me back?"

She broke free from the nanny's restraints and walked towards the ancestral hall in agitation! Want her to surrender?

impossible!
