PFC Chapter 130 Retreating to Advance
Chapter 130 Retreating to Advance
But the reality did not allow her to regret. In this life, she did not know whether it was because of her rebirth that a series of changes occurred. Song Yunxi not only recovered from her leg but also became very famous. She was not as miserable as in her previous life. Ye Xuanqi did not continue to be an idle prince like in his previous life, but started the battle for the throne early.
As for Concubine Shen and the Sixth Prince, mother and son, she didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she always felt that they were not as favored as in her previous life.
There are also General Zhenyuan's Mansion, Taifu's Mansion, General Pingnan's Mansion, the former Prime Minister Zhou's Mansion and the Minister of Revenue's Mansion. The ending of each one is completely different from the ending of the previous life.
This made Song Muxue wonder why God arranged for her to be reborn?
Is it to see Song Yunxi's arrogant glory?
No, she doesn't believe it!
She had the last laugh in her previous life, and this time God gave her another chance to be reborn, just to make her the same as in her previous life... no, to make her a stronger winner than in her previous life!
So she should not regret it.
Although Song Shaozhang didn't say anything, she could feel the change in his attitude towards her. If it weren't for the strong dissuasion of Mrs. Song and the Song Shaoyang brothers, he would have kicked her out of the house and taken his biological daughter back.
Moreover, she has a biological mother who cries all day long and is so weak that she looks like she could be blown down by a gust of wind. She has no one to rely on.
The only people she could hold on to now were Mrs. Song, the Song Shaozhang brothers, and Shen Zhikang.
If she couldn't marry Shen Zhikang, how would she realize the glory of her previous life?
What's more, with her current reputation, she may have no choice but to hold on to Shen Zhikang.
He suppressed his sadness and loss, and asked Shen Zhikang gently and considerately: "Regarding what Master Huicheng said, as well as the Heavenly Fire and the Divine Stone...are they also embarrassing for you?"
"I know this will be difficult for you. Both the Marquis and the Madam have already put pressure on you. So today I asked my eldest brother to invite you here. I want to tell you that I agree to separate from you. You don't have to worry about me anymore."
Hearing this, Shen Zhikang looked at her in shock, only to find that Song Muxue's face was sickly pale, and she was looking at him with a sad and reluctant expression.
But she still forced herself to smile in relief in order to reassure him: "From now on, you and I will have no more involvement. In the future, whether it's a wife or a concubine, I will have no complaints if you marry someone else."
After saying that, she was about to turn around and leave, but Shen Zhikang grabbed her wrist.
When Song Muxue looked back at him again, her face was already covered in tears. Shen Zhikang's heart ached at her pitiful appearance.
"Mu Xue, I'm sorry..."
Shen Zhikang held her in his arms and said, "It's not that I don't want to see you, but because things have been going wrong recently, and those staff members can't think of a way to deal with the difficulties, and I am really depressed."
"But you have to believe me, I have never taken matters of fate to heart, and I have never thought of separating from you."
He did wonder if everything was going wrong because of Song Muxue, and even more so, if Song Yunxi still had feelings for him, he would marry her as promised.
Anyway, the emperor has already said that Mu Xue cannot be his wife, and the Shen family cannot be without a hostess who can calm the gossips of the people. So, they might as well marry Song Yunxi back as a decoration. It is really a good deal to get the support of the National Master's Mansion and Shengyun Mountain by making her the main wife.
As for Mu Xue, he would not reduce even a bit of what he deserved for her, and everything he had would be left to the child they had together.
But today, seeing her so sad and in pain yet still considering him in every way, Shen Zhikang felt so heartbroken that he secretly cursed himself for neglecting her because of those meaningless fate rumors.
Feeling more and more guilty, he hugged her tighter: "Don't worry, I, Shen Zhikang, will never let you down in this life!"
Seeing that her strategy of retreating to advance had worked, Song Muxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped talking, allowing Shen Zhikang to hold her.
After a long time, the two separated, and Song Muxue asked him with concern: "What troubles have you encountered? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Song Muxue was also quite strategic. Shen Zhikang did not hide anything from her and told her about the affairs of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Lord Chen, and Chen Sirong, as well as the fact that the position of Prime Minister had fallen into the hands of someone else.
"The connection with Chen Sirong is the result of my father's careful planning for ten years. Seeing that woman was about to drag the Pingnan General's Mansion into the water, who knew that there would be such a change."
"And Lord Chen, he is our last spy in the Ministry of Revenue."
"Now even the position of Prime Minister has been transferred to the stubborn old man An Shiru. Sooner or later, he will completely side with Prince Chen."
It turned out that a lot of things really happened to Shen Zhikang during these days.
It seemed that she was indeed overthinking it, and Song Muxue couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"So, sister is now determined to help Prince Chen win the throne, right?"
She had always thought that given Song Yunxi's obsession with Shen Zhikang, it would be impossible for her to let go so easily, but now it seems that her prediction was wrong.
Shen Zhikang nodded: "She is bringing the Imperial Master's Mansion and Shengyun Mountain to Prince Chen as a backer. The Sixth Prince is indeed inferior."
"Why would Brother Zhikang have such an idea?"
Song Muxue smiled confidently: "If the two of us work together, will we lose to the interests of my sister and King Chen?"
Shen Zhikang was stunned. Looking at her determined and confident smile shining in the sun, his gloomy mood these days also brightened up and his fighting spirit was rekindled.
Yes, he only lost one or two games, why was he so depressed?
So what if Prince Chen has the Imperial Master's Mansion and Shengyun Mountain behind him? The Sixth Prince's backer is the Emperor. As long as the Emperor still favors the Sixth Prince and insists on making him the crown prince, even if everyone in the world opposes it, it will be of no avail.
What's more, he also has Mu Xue, the female military advisor. Just as she said, the two of them are in tune with each other and work together, so how could they lose to Chen Wang and Song Yunxi who have vested interests?
His heart suddenly became clear, and he looked at Song Muxue with even more tenderness: "Muxue, I'm lucky to have you by my side!"
Song Muxue fell shyly into his arms, but her mind was clearer than ever before.
Whether it is to consolidate her position in Shen Zhikang's heart or her status as the eldest daughter of Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion, she must demonstrate her irreplaceable value.
She had to make all of them see that she was useful. Only if she was a useful person would she not be easily abandoned by anyone.
This has nothing to do with blood or feelings, it's just human nature.
Song Yunxi is their biological daughter and their savior, but she is of no value and use, so each of them easily and guiltlessly abandoned her.
She would never let herself become the second Song Yunxi, the Song Yunxi who died miserably in despair in her previous life.
