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

Chapter 74 Broken
Song Lingyi saw the change in Song Lingwan's expression. She sensed something was wrong and followed her fourth sister's gaze, looking through the busy street towards the gate of the empty house.

Just one glance, Song Lingyi's heart was alarmed

The girl at the door of the empty house was none other than the woman who had been entangled with Zhou Yisheng on the deck of the pleasure boat that day.

She's probably here for my second sister today.

Song Lingyi was not worried that she would cause trouble for her second sister. What she was more worried about was that if she came to cause trouble at this juncture, it would be detrimental to the reputation of the Song family. Private transactions between men and women were already a taboo, and if a third person was involved, the reputation of all the girls in the Song family would be ruined.

No matter what, she must not be allowed to cross the street. With this in mind, Song Lingyi came up with many schemes, but in the end, they were all in vain. Just when she wanted to go into the mansion to find help, Song Xianglan happened to come out, looking very happy. She found a hairpin from somewhere and put it on, and asked her two sisters if they were pretty, as if to show off.

The moment the girl in front of the empty house saw Song Xianglan, she seemed to have made up her mind and strode across the street.

Even though Song Lingwan didn't know the real situation, she could tell that this girl had bad intentions. "Fifth sister!" she called out nervously.

Song Lingyi turned around when she heard the sound and saw the girl crossing the street in front of the empty house.
It's over, completely over...

At that moment, there was only one thought in her mind.

It doesn't matter what the girl's name is. She gave everything to a man who only knows how to talk sweetly, but what she got in return was not a grand wedding, but the man's words "We are just playing around". Resentment and unwillingness blurred her face. Since she couldn't get it, she would destroy it all!

There was no farce like in TV dramas where the mistress and the original wife quarreled in the street, smashed cars, and tore each other's hair. She just knelt down at the gate of the Song Mansion...

"Second sister, please go in quickly."

Song Xianglan didn't understand what was going on, and kept asking, "What's wrong? Who is that person? It's so strange."

Without waiting for Song Lingyi to explain, nor waiting for Song Xianglan to be pushed out the door to avoid the storm.

The girl kneeling on the ground called out Song Xianglan's name loudly as if she were meeting an old friend. When Song Xianglan turned around, the girl burst into tears and kowtowed to her despite the humiliation. While telling her about the misery of her life, she begged her to show mercy and grant her wish.

The hustle and bustle at the gate of the Song Mansion immediately caught the attention of the people. They were more interested in watching the scandal than in the presence of several nobles who came to the Song Mansion today.

Song Lingwan widened her eyes, her gaze switching between the girl and her second sister, her mind constantly guessing, but the more she guessed, the more scared she became.

Song Xianglan was confused. Could you please help? Could you help her? Brother Yi had clearly made a vow to her and said he would come to propose marriage in a few months. Where did this girl come from?
"LeLe, who is she?" Song Xianglan couldn't believe that her beloved brother Yi was a fickle person.

Song Lingyi, who knew the truth, couldn't open her mouth to answer. Was she supposed to be so cruel as to say, "That one is Zhou Yisheng's countless girlfriends?" Wasn't the second sister also a victim? It was Zhou Yisheng who should be cut into pieces and despised!

Song Lingyi didn't know where she got the courage from, and protected her second and fourth sisters behind her, "Who are you?! We in the Song family don't know you at all! Get out of here!"

The girl's forehead was broken, blood and tears mixed together, but she still bent down and lowered her head to the cold bluestone road. Who passing by would not sympathize with her?
"I know your name is Song Xianglan, and you are only seventeen years old this year. You are very beautiful and young, and I... have missed the best age to get married. Yisheng used to be very enthusiastic about me and said he wanted to marry me, but... but everything changed after he met you! Since March this year, he has lost patience with me and ignored my invitations, until two days ago when he said he wanted to break up with me... Miss Xianglan, you are young and beautiful, and the Song family is thriving, but I have fallen on hard times, my parents died early, and I have no one to rely on. I only have Yisheng. If it weren't for him... I would rather die!" Song Xianglan's lips trembled and her face was pale.

How will she hypnotize herself and deceive herself next?
The spectators were talking about it, and the rumors could tear the two girls apart at any time.

The noise at the door could not be concealed at all. Mr. Song and Mrs. Song arrived late, followed by a group of guests.

The girl moved her knees and knelt down at the feet of the distracted Song Xianglan, looking up with tears on her face, "I beg you to show mercy and help me, I really can't live without Yi Sheng, this is my last way to survive in Chang'an. I kowtow to you, thank you for your kindness——"

Boom, boom, boom, the forehead hit the floor, without a single murmur. It made the eardrum vibrate and the heart tremble with fear.

"Nonsense! Who are you? You want to ruin the reputation of our Song family's daughter with just empty words! Someone, drag her away and don't let her embarrass herself here!" Mrs. Song pointed at the girl and shouted at her, her face flushed red.

Azhu didn't dare to delay, and immediately stepped forward to pick up the man, half dragging and half pulling him away from the gate of Song's mansion.

But things have already happened. If the Song family does not explain today, the reputation of the Song family daughter as a fickle woman will spread throughout Chang'an tomorrow.

Song Xianglan shed tears and hid behind Song Lingyi, not knowing what to do. She said sadly, "No, what should I do......"

What should I do? Should I ask myself what should I do if I have chosen the wrong person, or what should I do about the current situation that is out of control? Song Lingyi didn't know what to do. She had already warned her, but her second sister just didn't believe it. She was blinded by greed and allowed Zhou Yisheng to deceive her feelings.

Master Song took a long time to react. He was furious, his blood boiling. His eyebrows seemed to stand up, veins popped up on his face, and he was about to curse...

With so many people present, if Dad punishes my second sister in public, it would be a sure thing that my second sister had secretly given and received the goods! We can't do that!

Song Lingyi shouted, "Daddy, calm down!"

Mr. Song stopped cursing, raised his hands halfway in the air, and looked at me as if asking, "Calm down? You actually asked me to calm down?!"

Song Lingyi's chest rose and fell, as if she had just finished a 100-meter race. "Daddy! It's not my second sister's fault!"

"It's obviously my second brother-in-law who's having an affair, and my second sister doesn't know about it!"

Where did this second brother-in-law come from?
Mr. Song had a puzzled look in his eyes, and Mrs. Song also had a stiff face, looking at Song Lingyi in surprise.

Zhou Xiaoniang, who followed closely, immediately saw the situation clearly. After all, she was someone who had experienced many ups and downs, so she reacted quickly, took over Song Lingyi's words, and "pleaded" for Song Xianglan.

"Yes, Master, the second young lady's marriage has just been decided, and the future son-in-law has caused such a big trouble for the Song family. It's really hateful. The second young lady has also been deceived!"
