Chapter 220 Lin's Weeping
Lu Yujie pierced Song Hanzhi's wrist with a hairpin, causing him to release his grip in pain. Lu Yujie immediately grabbed her skirt and ran away.
What admiration! What the pain of unrequited love! It's all just nonsense men use to coax women!
A dog of a man can't say anything nice. Since the Song family refuses to return her birth certificate, she'll have her aunt send someone to steal it back!
Song Hanzhi never expected that his attempt to steal a chicken would backfire so badly. He clutched his bleeding wrist and quickly left the scene.
The person who came over was none other than Song Wenyue, who had deliberately led her entourage this way. Upon arriving and finding no one else around, she concealed the deep meaning in her eyes, then left chatting and laughing with her companions.
Upon returning home, she learned that Lu Yujie had seriously injured Song Hanzhi and escaped, which enraged her so much that she slammed her fist on the table.
"I never expected Lu Yujie to have such methods." She had underestimated her opponent, which gave her the opportunity to escape.
If it doesn't work the first time, the other party certainly won't fall for it so easily next time.
Meanwhile, Madam Lin was still living in the Prince's mansion, and she would go to Song Yaozhu's courtyard every day to talk to her. She tried to show off her maternal side, but Song Yaozhu remained indifferent to her and showed no intention of reciprocating her sincere feelings.
After being met with indifference for so long, Lin began to feel somewhat resentful.
That day, she stewed a snow frog soup for beauty and health and sent it over. Then, Granny Qin pulled Lin Shi aside and said, "This is the Princess's first pregnancy. The imperial physician said that she cannot take such supplements. It would be bad if the baby was too big and she had a difficult delivery!"
Madam Lin said unhappily, "But you can't give birth without taking supplements, otherwise you won't have the strength to endure until delivery!"
“What you say is true, Madam. But it’s summer now, and the Princess is not in the mood to move around. We can have some nourishing soup in the fall when she’s more willing to walk around. As for this soup, the Princess will just throw it up anyway, so you might as well drink it yourself and it won’t be a waste!”
I've said it all, but I just don't want to drink her soup!
Even with her good temper, Lin couldn't help but feel wronged after several such incidents.
She took the soup back to her courtyard, whereupon her head maidservant said indignantly, "Madam, the Princess Consort has gone too far! You got up early this morning to stew this soup and personally supervised it by the stove, sweating profusely! How could she not even taste a drop!"
The old nanny beside her glared at the girl and said, "Madam, the Princess Consort probably can't forgive your previous attitude towards her."
"What else does she want from me!" Madam Lin began to wipe away her tears. She had done everything she could during this time, but Song Yaozhu's attitude towards her had become increasingly cold.
But if she was heartbroken and wanted to pack her things to go back to the Song family, Song Yaozhu's attitude would soften again, as if she wanted to reconcile with her and give her hope.
But her hopes were quickly dashed again.
She was truly fed up with this back and forth! Song Yaozhu's attitude towards her was like that of a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy!
“Madam, it doesn’t seem to me that the Princess Consort has a bad attitude towards you. Think about it, we haven’t even seen the Princess Consort. It’s always that wicked servant blocking the door and gossiping. I think she’s afraid that if you and the Princess Consort reconcile, it will affect her position in the mansion!”
Lin felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
Song Yaozhu didn't even look at the soup she made! It's probably because of this unruly servant who's stopping her!
In the afternoon, when Madam Lin went to Tingxue Courtyard with her belongings, she saw Granny Qin blocking the entrance, and her anger flared immediately. She had humbled herself to try and reconcile with her daughter, but this insolent servant, relying on her status, dared to obstruct her—it was utterly outrageous!
When Granny Qin saw Madam Lin, she bowed and greeted her, but before she could even utter a word of greeting, a sharp "smack" rang out, making Granny Qin's head buzz and leaving her stunned.
The slap made Lin feel good, and she snorted.
"You almost fooled me, you scoundrel! I painstakingly prepared this soup, and my daughter didn't even get to see it before you stopped her! What were you thinking, you scoundrel!"
Granny Qin covered her face, remaining silent. The maidservant had already rushed into the room to report, and as soon as the door opened, a slight chill wafted out.
Song Yaozhu looked at Lin Shi with a gloomy expression. That one glance made Lin Shi's heart tighten and filled her with fear.
"Granny, come here." Song Yaozhu's voice was so cold it seemed to freeze into ice shards.
Granny Qin walked over, revealing her swollen face, the handprint on her face glaringly obvious.
At her age, she has never suffered such humiliation!
"Caijin, take the old woman to apply the medicine."
Caijin stepped forward to help Granny Qin into the house, completely ignoring Madam Lin who was standing at the door.
"I had no idea. The old nanny was just following orders, how did she offend Madam Song?"
Upon hearing this, Lin felt a tightness in her chest, and tears streamed down her face.
Following orders? So, she didn't want to drink the soup she made herself?
She only hit a servant, and she treated her like this!
"Song Yaozhu, I am your mother! I am your mother!"
Song Yaozhu coldly watched her swaying figure and said, "Stop crying, I won't feel sorry for you."
Upon hearing this, Lin felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She suddenly remembered that when Song Yaozhu was still in the Song family mansion, she had a headache and chest tightness, and Song Yaozhu served her without taking off her clothes, staying up for several nights in a row.
But she couldn't see the weariness on her face, and only said to Song Wenyue, whose eyes were red from crying, "You care about your mother, that's thoughtful of you."
Then she rewarded Song Wenyue with a set of jewelry, but gave nothing to the daughter who had taken care of her for several days.
Song Wenyue only had to cry in front of her to get a valuable headdress; she took good care of her, but all she got in return was a sentence from her: "You'll be serving your mother-in-law in the future, and your clumsiness is a disgrace to the Song family!"
Lin clutched her chest; if the nanny hadn't been supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
"I remember clearly telling Madam Song that we neither wanted to see each other again and that we should live in peace. But you insisted on coming to my doorstep and even hit my people. You will have to pay the price for your actions!"
Lin was shocked that she would say such cruel words.
"Who's gossiping in front of you? Was it these two maids?"
Song Yaozhu's sharp gaze swept over the two maids beside her, one being her head maid and the other her personal nanny.
Before Lin could explain, Song Yaozhu said, "How dare you sow discord between me and my mother! Guards, hold them down and slap them! Let them witness this punishment, and see who else dares to gossip in front of my mother!"
Upon hearing the order, the servants in the Prince's mansion immediately held down the two men and began to slap them with both hands.
They were angry ever since Lin hit Granny Qin!
Qin Mama was such a good housekeeper, how could she be bullied like this!
"Your Highness, spare me! Madam, save me!"
The two screamed, but to no avail.
Lin was filled with panic as she looked at the two people beside her whose faces were swollen from being beaten and whose mouths were still bleeding.
"Stop! Tell them to stop! I'm packing my things and heading back to the Song residence right now!"
