Chapter 223 Qing Wan seeks cooperation with Song Chengfeng
Song Qingwan hid in the dark. Seeing Luo Qingqing leave with the people from the Prince's Mansion, she nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that Shen Jingyi was right about Zhao Yujun, but Song Qingwan was puzzled because she had not met Zhao Yujun many times.
That is, she had met Zhao Huaijin a few times before she got married. How did she become his white moonlight? Song Qingwan couldn't help but shudder all over.
She had already told Luo Qingqing to contact Zhong Xuejiao after she successfully entered the Prince's Mansion. As long as she helped Zhong Xuejiao disrupt Zhong Xueying's plan and expose her hand, she would definitely be able to find out who was behind the massacre in Prince Huai's Mansion.
In the past, Song Qingwan suspected the emperor and Zhao Yujun, but now she suddenly changed her mind. Maybe the people who gave the order and the people who carried out the order were not the same group.
Moreover, maybe the emperor did not order the massacre of Prince Huai's Mansion in the first place, but someone used chicken feathers as a token to falsely convey the imperial edict.
But if this was really the case, why was the emperor so calm after learning that Prince Huai's mansion was massacred, and why did he not blame anyone else?
Song Qingwan still needs to slowly find the answer to this question.
And Luo Qingqing did not disappoint Song Qingwan. She successfully entered the Prince's Mansion and became the prince's concubine. Her status was only one level lower than that of the Zhong sisters.
When Zhong Xueying heard the news, she was so angry that she ran to the prince and made a scene. The prince drove her back to her own yard and told her to reflect on her mistakes, saying that she was not magnanimous and intolerant, and he did not allow her to come out again.
On the contrary, Zhong Xuejiao was extremely caring towards Luo Qingqing, acting like a prince's wife, and was always respectful to others.
This action was also recognized by Zhao Yujun, who rewarded Zhong Xuejiao with many rare treasures and brought Princess Qi Yue to his side to teach her personally.
As a result, Zhong Xueying became the biggest loser. She was so angry that she smashed everything in her room.
Zhong Xueying didn't expect that just as she was about to drive Zhong Xuejiao and Lan Xiaoxiao out of the Prince's Mansion and successfully become the Crown Princess, Luo Qingqing suddenly appeared.
She asked someone to check Luo Qingqing's background, but found out that she was just an ordinary orphan with no background.
This identity is a world of difference from Zhong Xueying's, but Luo Qingqing has only been in the mansion for a month or two, but she has actually overshadowed Zhong Xueying.
In a short while, the news that Luo Qingqing was going to replace the Zhong sisters and become the Crown Princess spread like wildfire and reached Zhong Xueying's ears.
Zhong Xueying naturally refused to do so, so she formed her own group, while Xuejiao brought Lan Xiaoxiao and Luo Qingqing to compete with her, and the entire backyard of the Prince's Mansion became more lively.
Song Qingwan smiled slightly when she heard the news. She knew that as long as the prince's backyard was in complete chaos, she would definitely be able to catch a big fish.
She believed that Zhong Xueying would not be able to endure it for much longer, and the person behind her would soon reveal himself.
But what she had to do now was to find someone in the previous dynasty to cause trouble for Shangshu Zhong, and the candidate was naturally his good father Song Chengfeng.
When Song Chengfeng saw Song Qingwan who came uninvited, he became even more furious.
The father and daughter have not seen each other since he almost kidnapped Song Qingwan a year ago.
He originally thought that he could rest easy with the support of the Lan family, but he didn't expect that Lan Chengen would be defeated by Song Qingwan.
Not only was the Lan family destroyed, but even the Southern Xinjiang court was turned upside down by Song Qingwan and Zhao Huaijin.
At this time, Song Chengfeng had no ceremonial guards at the court, and gradually lost the emperor's favor, becoming a prime minister in name only.
Now even minor officials of the fourth or fifth rank dared to talk back to him in front of him, which made Song Chengfeng very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, his foundation is already shallow, and now that he has lost the support of the Lan family and the emperor, he is at the mercy of others.
"What do you want to do today? Is it because the Song family is not miserable enough?"
"Father, you are wrong. You are still the Prime Minister of the Great Saint Dynasty, a first-rank official. How can you say that you are miserable?"
Song Chengfeng was touched in the sore spot by Song Qingwan. He wished he could strangle this rebellious girl to death, but he knew that Song Qingwan's current identity was Princess Huai. Although Zhao Huaijin's life or death was unknown, Song Qingwan's identity was not something he could reach.
Song Chengfeng took a step forward, threw the teacup on the table to the ground, and pointed at Qingwan with trembling hands.
"Get out of here! You unfilial daughter, the Song family doesn't have a daughter like you, get out of here!"
Song Qingwan, on the other hand, was calm and composed. She slowly put down the cup in her hand, raised her head and looked calmly at the furious Song Chengfeng.
"Father also knows that the Song family is in a bad situation now. Hasn't he ever thought about changing the status quo?"
"Change? How to change? The Zhong family is now the most valued by the emperor, and my Song family has long been despised. How can we turn the tables?"
Song Chengfeng suppressed his anger and continued to loudly accuse Song Qingwan.
"You are an unfilial daughter. You have become the legitimate wife of Prince Huai, but you have never helped the Song family. What are you doing here today? Now that Prince Huai's mansion has been destroyed, you are not thinking of coming back to seek refuge with the Song family, are you? Don't dream!"
Song Qiuwan looked at Song Chengfeng as if he was a lunatic. How could he tell that she, Song Qingwan, needed help from the Song family?
Not to mention that only servants were killed in Prince Huai's Mansion now, even in the past, when Song Qingwan did not have the support of Prince Huai, wouldn't Song Chengfeng be unable to control her?
“I came today to discuss cooperation with the Father”
"Cooperation? What cooperation?"
"I want to cooperate with my father to deal with the Zhong family. If my father is not interested, then forget it."
Song Qingwan got up and was about to go out. She kept observing Song Chengfeng's reaction out of the corner of her eye. Sure enough, when she counted to ten in her heart, Song Chengfeng finally spoke.
"How do you want to cooperate?"
Song Qingwan was very satisfied with Song Chengfeng's attitude. She turned around and went back to her original place and sat back down.
Song Qingwan took out the wolf tooth from her arms, and then told Song Chengfeng that she suspected that the Zhong family was colluding with the Dongyue Kingdom.
Song Chengfeng's eyes lit up after hearing this, but he still asked with some uncertainty.
"Are you telling the truth? If the Zhong family is really colluding with the Dongyue Kingdom, then it is a serious crime of treason and the entire clan will be executed."
"Does father think it necessary for me to lie to you?"
Song Qingwan's eyes flashed with disdain. With the current status of the Song family, how could it be worth her cheating?
Song Chengfeng lowered his head in embarrassment. He knew that Song Qingwan was telling the truth. There was really nothing in the Song family today that was worth her scheming.
"So what do you want me to do?"
"Now I have already placed a spy next to the daughter of the Zhong family. It depends on whether father has the ability to arrange someone next to Minister Zhong."
Song Chengfeng fell into deep thought. His mind was working at high speed, thinking about the possibility of arranging guards or servants around Shangshu Zhong.
When Song Qingwan saw him like this, she knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.
Song Chengfeng is the new champion. His mind is too rigid.
"Father, do you know that Minister Zhong has another concubine's daughter who is still unmarried?"
"what do you mean?"
"Minister Zhong has no son, so he has always wanted to recruit a live-in son-in-law. Does father understand?"
Song Chengfeng suddenly realized, yes, why didn’t he think of it!
