I dress up as a poor noblewoman, and I bring my whole family home with my literary talent.

Chapter 115 Choice
The wedding of the Xie and Song families was scheduled for April 6th, which was a rather tight schedule, but the national master had calculated that April 6th was an excellent day. If you missed it, you would have to wait another half a year.

The two elders were busy with preparations, and the two younger generations were busy with official duties and rarely had time to intervene.

As the wedding day approached, Song Lingyi was still working at the Taishi Bureau.
Tang Taishicheng had a gloomy face when he was on duty, and he waited until lunch break before going to talk to Song Lingyi.

Tang Taishicheng was a gentle person and it was rare to see him so worried, especially when he came to talk to her alone. Song Lingyi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"I wonder what Lord Tang wants me to do?"

Tang Taishi Cheng first showed a forced smile, said a few irrelevant words, and then asked about Song Lingyi's upcoming wedding date and how the preparations were going...

Finally, he got to the point: "It's like this. Yesterday, I received an application for handing over your official position..."

The resignation method of officials in Daliang was also very strict. Lower-level officials needed to have a heart-to-heart talk with their superiors and explain the reasons and intentions of resigning. However, Song Lingyi was a special case. It was Tang Taishi Cheng who first received the message and came to talk to her.

"Official position handover?" Song Lingyi exclaimed, "But I have never submitted such an application."

Tang Taishicheng looked embarrassed, "You didn't hand it over, but this is... this is the intention of the Marquis's Mansion."

At this moment, it was as if an atomic bomb had exploded in her mind.

Song Lingyi originally thought that this matter was not urgent. Xie Yanshu had been busy with official duties recently, and she didn't want him to be caught in the middle because of this matter.

But the Marquis's Mansion directly bypassed them and submitted a handover application to her superiors, which was simply ridiculous. Regardless of whether this was reasonable or not, did the Marquis respect her wishes in this move?

Song Lingyi could not wait to ask for leave from Tang Taishicheng, wanting to go to the Marquis's Mansion to question him, but after calming down a little on the way out of the palace, she decided to go back to the Song family first.

If he went to the Marquis's Mansion in anger, he would be afraid of speaking inappropriately and upsetting Mrs. Li and the old marquis, leaving no room for maneuver in his resignation and making Xie Yanshu even more embarrassed.

The wedding date is approaching, and the wedding dresses of the two newlyweds have been made
When Song Lingyi returned to the Song residence, she happened to see Madam Song touching the hanging wedding dress, overjoyed.

"Alright! Come quick, your wedding dress is here, try it on to see if it fits you well!" Zhou Xiaoniang pulled Song Lingyi towards the wedding dress with a smile on her face, not caring about her bad look on her face.

Looking at the phoenix coronet and bridal robe surrounded by pearls and jade, Song Lingyi frowned slightly.

Madam Song held the phoenix coronet to her head and gestured, laughing from ear to ear, "Hahaha, this phoenix coronet is really heavy! When you wear it, others will be so envious!"

"Look at what the eldest lady said. Our Lele will soon be the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion. This identity is really enviable! The Marquis's Mansion is powerful and glorious, and the Song family will also benefit from it. By then, who in Chang'an City will dare to look down on the Song family!" said Zhou Xiaoniang.

Their words constantly irritated Song Lingyi's nerves, and she was in a state of confusion.

She didn't want to stay here, so she walked out without saying a word.
Seeing his father coming in from the front door with a beaming face, holding a spotted tanager given by a good friend; Song Changling has been receiving many banquet invitations from dignitaries recently, so he dressed up beautifully to attend the banquets...

Everyone in the mansion was happy except her, who felt like she was trapped on an isolated island.

"Where are you going?" Madam Song called out to Song Lingyi.

Song Lingyi paused and said in a cold tone, "Let's find a quiet place."

"You kid, you didn't even try on your wedding dress. You came back with a sour face. What else are you dissatisfied with? The young marquis married you as his legitimate wife, not as a concubine! And your official position is too busy, and you don't even have a day off as the wedding is approaching. Madam Li discussed it with me two days ago and resigned you from your position."

Song Lingyi turned around abruptly and looked at Madam Song, her eyes filled with anger and disbelief: "Have you discussed this?!"

Madam Song was stunned by her shouting, and then she said confidently: "Why are you shouting? You have such a good marriage, but you are still greedy for your seventh-rank official position. If you continue to be stubborn, be careful that the Marquis's Mansion cancels this marriage, and then you will regret it!"

Song Lingyi was so angry that her head swelled. She yelled hysterically: "Who do you think you are?! How can you decide whether I resign or not? Why do you make decisions on your own? I decide my own affairs. I made it very clear at the engagement party. I will not resign!"

Two people, one big and one small, started arguing through the door.
The whole government is silent
At first glance, Zhou Xiaoniang saw that Song Lingyi was really angry and didn't dare to say a word to dissuade her.

"Who am I?" Madam Song slammed the Phoenix Coronet on the table beside her. "I am your mother! Madam Song! Why can't I make the decision?! Do you still think you are a child and can do whatever you want?!"

"I am willful and reckless? For this seventh-rank official position, I work hard from dawn to dusk every day, and you resign without regard to my wishes!"

Song Lingyi's temper surged, her cheeks flushed with anger, her beautiful eyes were full of resentment: "Am I being willful or are you selling your daughter for fame?!"

Madam Song covered her chest and gasped, "You bastard! Debt collector! How long have you been an official, and you even dare to make your mother angry! I warn you! If you dare to go to the Marquis's Mansion and make a scene because of this, ruin your marriage, and harm the Song family, I will... kick you out of the house and treat you as if the Song family doesn't have a daughter like you!"

"How ridiculous! How could you ever really treat me as your daughter! Debt collector, evil star, fierce ghost, what else?! If I didn't have this official position, who knows what day I would end up in some pond to pay off the debts of your Song family!"

"What family affection? I don't care! I'm just too stupid and foolish, that's why I let you guys take my place again and again!"

"You...you..." Madam Song's face turned pale and red, and she was obviously very angry. She pointed at Song Lingyi and cursed, "I don't care whether you like it or not, or whether you care or not, anyway, don't think about ruining this marriage because of your own selfishness!"

The noise in the front yard was getting louder and louder. Master Song, who had hurried over, was so angry that his beard stood up when he heard Song Lingyi's rebellious words. "I think you are going to marry into the Marquis's mansion. You don't even know your own name!"

"Do you know what filial piety and respect for elders are? What does it mean to cultivate oneself and be prudent? You have only enjoyed your glory for two days and you have already forgotten your parents' kindness in raising you. What's wrong with asking you to resign? A woman should stay at home to take care of her husband and children. Are those things that are exposed in public what the Marquis's wife should do?!"

"You've only been an official for a few days, but you're delusionally thinking that you can change the rules of the world. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for having too many ideas. You are young and ignorant so much that you think you can change your fate just by being dissatisfied?!" Master Song frowned and pointed at Song Lingyi in the yard and scolded.

Song Lingyi's chest felt like it was weighed down by a thousand pounds, her hands couldn't stop shaking, she turned her head to the side and tried to suppress the grievance in her heart. After catching her breath, she stared at her father, "I won't resign. The idea that a woman should stay at home to take care of her husband and children is bullshit to me! Either you go to the Marquis's Mansion and explain it clearly, or..."

She took a deep breath to calm her inner turmoil and struggle, "Or this engagement ends here."
