Chapter 374 Liu Qianyang is dead
Chapter 374 Liu Qianyang is dead
She understood very well that for more than ten years, Song Shaoyuan's sense of responsibility towards her was greater than his feelings.
Even so, she is very content.
For more than ten years, Song Shaoyuan respected and loved her. He did not take concubines or maids. He was upright and motivated in his official career. He turned her from a concubine's daughter who could not even afford to eat and could be sent away by her father and mother at any time in exchange for benefits into an official's wife.
I haven't had to worry or be troubled for more than ten years, and I live my life as I please.
Now that she has become the wife of a second-rank official, her future will be even more glorious.
Many people would think it a pity and pitiful that she did not have a passionate love affair with her husband, but she would really laugh.
Compared with the love that might become uncertain at any time and turn her into a resentful woman, the relaxed, comfortable life with fine clothes and delicious food that she had been enjoying since the day she got married was real, and the honor that her husband gave her was true and definite.
She didn't know what love felt like, but for more than ten years her husband had loved her and put her first in everything. She had always felt sweet and happy, and that was enough for her.
Now her husband is on a fast track to success, but she knows her own worth. She is not a mistress who can support the inner courtyard of a wealthy family, nor is she a lady who can easily navigate the capital city where nobles gather.
Even if she were to be reborn, she would not be able to become smart and capable, let alone do all this.
However, she was unable to handle the household chores in the mansion, the social interactions between the ladies of the various mansions, and the various banquets and palace banquets, and she was unwilling to participate in them.
She just wanted to live an easy and wealthy life as she had always done.
More importantly, it was her daughters' marriages. She was too self-aware. If she went to look for a suitable man, she didn't know whether she would fall into someone else's schemes, which would not only affect her husband's career, but also bring misfortune to her daughters' lives.
So after hearing about Yao Yilan's experience, she subconsciously tried to find out more about it, and realized that Yao Yilan was not only talented but also a capable woman.
But most importantly, impeccable character.
After Song Shaoyuan got engaged, she never showed up again. No matter how difficult the past ten years were, she never used their past friendship to disturb Song Shaoyuan and ask him for help.
After they returned to the capital, Song Shaoyuan went to visit his teacher, but Yao Yilan avoided him and never met him.
In order not to disturb Song Shaoyuan's life, it was really done quietly.
She always believed that Yao Yilan was worthy of respect, and felt that only a woman who knew her limits like Yao Yilan could deserve the beauty of Bai Yueguang.
Letting Song Shaoyuan marry Yao Yilan can preserve the feelings of his youth, allow him to continue living a relaxed and comfortable life without having to live in fear every day, and allow Yao Yilan to get rid of her sad past, and everyone will be happy.
Long in the future, everything proved how correct her vision and decision were.
Although Yao Yilan was married as a concubine, Song Shaoyuan always respected her and never competed for Song Shaoyuan's exclusive favor. Song Shaoyuan treated her no differently than before.
Moreover, Yao Yilan handled those social banquets with ease, which made her feel completely relieved and in a good mood.
But the most important thing is that the husbands Yao Yilan chose for her two daughters were simply one in a million, and she was extremely satisfied.
Her two daughters live a happy and fulfilling life, which makes her full of gratitude to Yao Yilan.
Shen Zhikang reported to the outside world that he was seriously injured and had not yet regained consciousness. In addition, he had a secret medicine in his hand, so he even hid it from the imperial physician.
Shen Zhikang angrily threw everything on the desk to the ground: "Waste, what a waste!"
He spent so much effort and used so many spies to subtly instigate the situation, which led to Princess Yu, who hated Song Yunxi to the core, taking action against the Song family.
Liu Qianyang can be considered a leader among the Liu family of Dingzhou. Since he was raised by Princess Yu when he was young, the relationship between the aunt and nephew is naturally very deep.
This is also the reason why Princess Yu was able to convince Liu Qianyang to take action against the Song family with just one letter.
What extraordinary talent, wisdom and intelligence, it's all bullshit!
A fool like Liu Qianyang was praised to such an extent. The Dingzhou Liu family is not far from decline.
He originally wanted to use Song Jinxin to attack Song Shaoyuan and Song Yunxi, but he didn't expect that Liu Qianyang was too useless and instead alerted the enemy.
They will definitely be on guard in the future, and if you want to take action against them again, you have to find another opportunity.
Shen Zhikang angrily threw all the remaining jade pieces at hand.
That ornament has always been the young master's favorite. Normally, he would not let anyone touch it, but now he threw it away without blinking an eye.
After Princess Changle cut off his vitals, the young master's temperament changed drastically. He became so unpredictable that even the guards who had followed him for many years had to be cautious, for fear that they would be implicated, let alone others.
After venting his anger, Shen Zhikang's anger finally dissipated a little.
"How's Liu Qianyang doing?"
The guard replied respectfully, "Sir, the Princess of Yu has received the news and has ordered people to get Liu Qianyang out of Jingzhao Prefecture. He has already returned to Prince Yu's Palace."
After the incident with Princess Changle, Prince Yu passed away in grief. Naturally, the Emperor wanted to seek justice for his brother and niece.
So this time the Shen family's title was completely taken away, and the young master became an incomplete person and could not take the imperial examination to enter an official position. It can be said that the whole process was ruined.
Fortunately, after years of planning, Concubine Shen and the Sixth Prince have placed their trust in the young master. When the Sixth Prince ascends the throne, the young master will surely wait for the day to be proud of himself.
Shen Zhikang thought for a moment and ordered, "Da Li, go and make arrangements to send Liu Qianyang back to Dingzhou as soon as possible."
Dali was a little puzzled: "Sir, why do you care whether Liu Qianyang lives or dies?"
Shen Zhikang, who had completely calmed down at this time, said indifferently: "No matter how useless Liu Qianyang is, he is still a member of Dingzhou Liu's family. Whether he lives or dies when he returns is their own business, but he must not get into trouble in the capital."
Otherwise, the Liu clan would definitely come to investigate, and if they found out it was him, it would be very bad.
Although the Dingzhou Liu family is no longer as prominent as the other aristocratic families and is now in decline, it is still a large family among the eight great families.
He already has two powerful rivals, Song Yunxi and Ye Xuanqi, which are already enough to overwhelm him, and he absolutely cannot afford to add another aristocratic family, the Liu family.
Although Shen Zhikang had anticipated this, he was still a step too slow. When his men sneaked into Prince Yu's Mansion and found Liu Qianyang, he had already become a cold corpse.
After an autopsy in Jingzhao Prefecture, it was finally determined that Liu Qianyang died from a deadly poison that pierced the heart from the Wei family of the previous dynasty.
Princess Yu cried loudly while holding her nephew's body.
She has lost her only daughter, and her nephew, who she has raised since childhood, is her only emotional support.
The reason she asked her nephew to come to the capital this time was actually because she was too lonely and wanted to take this opportunity to keep her nephew by her side.
But I didn't expect the result to be like this.
"Song Yunxi..."
