Chapter 116: Choice

"you you…"

Mr. Song was so angry at his little daughter that he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a while. He could only watch her lift her skirt and run out of the door. The servants in the mansion couldn't stop her even if they shouted.

There are only a few pedestrians on the street

It was almost time for the palace gates to be locked. Song Lingyi ran out of the door in a panic and walked on the street in a daze, not even knowing where she was going.

Da da da--

The sound of horse hooves approached, accompanied by the neighing of horses, and stopped beside Song Lingyi.

Song Lingyi turned her head to look and saw that the person on the horse was actually Ah Zhu.
Azhu jumped off the horse swiftly, "Where are you going, Fifth Miss?"

Song Lingyi pursed her lips and said nothing. She didn't want to go back to the ice cave even though she had nowhere else to go.

"The Madam and Mr. Song are still angry, so they probably won't go to the Marquis's Mansion today. If you go alone, this matter may not be so easy to resolve." Azhu said.

Song Lingyi knew this very well. If the decision was made by the Marquis' Mansion, she could still try to reason with him. However, the Marquis' Mansion had discussed the matter of resignation with Madam Song, and the Marquis' Mansion also knew that Madam Song would not refuse.

"Fifth Miss, please find a place to stay tonight. I will inform you as soon as there is any news from the mansion tomorrow."

Azhu handed her the reins and said, "It's getting late. You should take the horse. It will be more convenient for you to go anywhere."

Song Lingyi took the reins, she really didn't know where to go

Now I just want to put all these bad things aside and find a quiet place to calm down.

…………

Inside the princess's mansion
Yinsha walked quickly towards the sheltered pavilion in the backyard. There was a tent hanging in the pavilion, and only the figure of the person inside could be vaguely seen.

Yinsha stopped outside the tent and bowed: "Your Highness, everything you asked has been done."

"Come in," Princess Qi Yang said lazily.
"Yes"

Two maids lifted the curtain for Yinsha, and she walked into the pavilion with a nod and lowered brows.

Inside the sheltered pavilion, Princess Qi Yang was half-lying on the chaise longue, supporting her head with one hand and holding a bamboo calf in the other, looking at it intently.

Yinsha walked to the imperial concubine's couch and reported carefully, "According to your Highness's instructions, I sent people to monitor Miss Song Wu's every move and learned that Miss Song Wu did not want to resign and had some conflicts with Madam Li. So I took the initiative and submitted an application for official transfer to Tang Taishi Cheng in the name of Madam Li."

Princess Qi Yang raised her eyes, her gaze was cold and grim: "Submit an application?"

"Miss Song Wu was unwilling to give up her official position, and was unwilling to give up her engagement. How could such a good thing happen? I helped Miss Song Wu and asked the Marquis's Mansion to submit an application to the higher officials without her permission, which intensified the conflict between them."

"The people who were watching the Song residence just now reported that Miss Song Wu had a big temper after returning home." Yinsha covered her mouth and smiled, "This engagement is probably off."

Princess Qi Yang pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "Well done."

"But if she were to break off the engagement, it might anger the Queen Mother..."

As Princess Qi Yang's most trusted right-hand man, how could Yin Sha not think of Princess Qi Yang's concerns? "This handover application not only bypassed Miss Song Wu, but also bypassed the Grand Master. The Grand Master has always valued Miss Song Wu, so how could he stand by and watch? Even if Your Majesty wants to punish Miss Song Wu, you have to consider the Grand Master."

"Your Highness, please rest assured. The application was submitted by someone from the Marquis's Mansion. This matter cannot be held against you."

Princess Qi Yang raised her eyebrows slightly, and was very satisfied with Yin Sha's arrangement. This marriage came at the wrong time, and it was better to regret it.

……

As the sun sets, Song Lingyi arrives at the Imperial Master's Mansion on horseback.

The Imperial Master's Mansion was as solemn as usual. After she knocked on the door, she waited for a long time before someone opened it.

The person who opened the door was still the young man from last time. He recognized Song Lingyi as the disciple of the imperial master and immediately invited her in.

The young man led Song Lingyi to the hall to wait. After about an incense stick of time, he saw Ye Xuan.

Ye Xu'an looked at the distraught girl and asked leisurely, "What's wrong with you?"

Song Lingyi was hesitating about how to start

Then Ye Xu'an asked with a gloating tone: "Did Xie Yanshu make you angry?"

"…It's not him," Song Lingyi clasped her hands in a tangled expression, "Lord Tang came to me today and said that the Marquisate had submitted an application for the handover of my official position to him. What's even more hateful is that Madam Song also knew about this and kept it from me!"

Ye Xu'an took a sip of tea calmly and said, "Not only did you keep it a secret, but I also didn't know."

"I have never thought of resigning. Why are they all forcing me to do so?" Song Lingyi finally shed the tears she had been holding back. She looked so pitiful.

Seeing her sad, Ye Xu'an silently handed her a handkerchief.

After she calmed down a bit, he asked, "Have you thought about how to deal with it?"

how to respond?

Either Madam Song went to the Marquis' Mansion to explain her resignation, or... this marriage had to be called off. Before she even got married, the Marquis' Mansion bypassed her and wanted her to resign. What would happen after she got married? What awaited her was definitely not a happy life, but only one grievance after another.

Although Xie Yanshu said he would mediate, what's the point of saying a thousand or ten thousand things if it can't be done?
The Marquis's Mansion is strong, and the Song family is not high-ranking
As a concubine's daughter without an official position, how long can she survive relying on her husband's love?
Drink water to satisfy your affection

But you can't be full just by drinking water

The dimples on her lips pulled out a bitter smile, with a hint of mockery, "I personally agreed to this marriage. I thought it would not be difficult to keep my official position after marriage, as long as my husband and I were in love. Now it seems that I was too naive and thought things were too simple. I was young and ignorant to the point of thinking that I could change the people around me through my own efforts."

"…On the way here, I was very confused. I was so confused that I thought about asking the master to tell my fortune for me."

Ye Xuan sighed and said, "My disciple, it is better to make your own decision than to ask for divination. It is better to have the ability than to chant the Buddha's name and recite the scriptures. There is always a way to travel in the mountains and there is always a ferryman in the deep waters. No matter which path you choose, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead, you will get through it in the end."

Song Lingyi suddenly turned her head and looked at Ye Xu'an, savoring his words carefully, and secretly made up her mind, "My disciple has figured it out. Since neither party is satisfied, why not make plans early before the wedding date."

……

Before I knew it, the night was deep

Ye Xu'an has asked the servants in the mansion to clean up the guest room for Song Lingyi to rest.
In the dim corridor, the draft was whistling, and Song Lingyi's purple dress fluttered in the wind. Looking at her thin body, Ye Xuan couldn't help but call her.

"The so-called hundred years of fame, a thousand years of hegemony, and eternal reputation are not as good as living your life the way you like. If you have made up your mind, just go for it boldly. If the Song family and the Marquis' Mansion want to wrong you, your teacher can make the decision for you."

The girl choked up in her throat, tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out, and nodded firmly.
