Chapter 67 Spreading rumors and applying pressure

Rumors suddenly spread among the people, which attracted Song Baichuan's attention. He considered the relevant people, and finally suspected that Pei Shilang was not keeping his word and spreading rumors to put pressure on the Song government.

However, before he could come to argue with him, Pei Shilang impeached the Song family in the morning court.

"Your Majesty, my son fell in love with the eldest daughter of the second wife of the Song family, and I gave him a token in private. Therefore, I went to the Song Mansion to propose marriage for my son a few days ago, but the second lady went to death and refused to acknowledge the matter."

"Although the Marquis has promised to give me an explanation within five days, the people in the capital are all talking about this matter now, and my son has been manipulated by them in various ways. He is really innocent. I hope that your Majesty will make the decision for me."

After Minister Pei finished speaking, whispers suddenly sounded in the hall, and Song Baichuan looked very ugly when he saw this.

I saw Jun Yelan glance at the civil and military officials, and finally his eyes fell on Song Baichuan, "Song Aiqing, I ask you, is what Minister Pei said just now true?"

Song Baichuan stepped forward and knelt on the ground, raised his head and looked at him: "Back to Your Majesty, what Minister Pei said is indeed true, but I really can't say whether your son and my niece are in love."

As soon as these words came out, Pei Shilang immediately said: "Mr. Hou, could it be that he forgot that your niece's token is still in my son's hands. If it wasn't for the mutual love, why did she give my son the token?"

"Why, do you think my son is stupid and easy to bully, and you want to trick me?"

Song Baichuan was speechless. He originally planned to find out the matter, but rumors spread and interrupted his plan. Now...

"My dear friends, please don't quarrel. This is a good thing, but it will be bad if it hurts the harmony."

Jun Yelan smiled and comforted the two of them. Seeing Song Baichuan's face sullen and silent, and seeing Minister Pei's face full of anger, he felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

This matter... is really difficult to handle.

Shilang Pei's wife loves her son very much. If this thing doesn't work out, I'm afraid that the family will be uneasy and trouble will come to me again.

The second room in the Song family...it's easy to solve if you think about it.

"I have understood everything. Let's do this. Since the man is interested in having a concubine, I will act as a matchmaker today and grant a marriage to you and the Pei and Song families. How about it?"

When Minister Pei heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, thank you for your holy body."

When things got to this point, Song Baichuan was really helpless and had no choice but to kneel down and thank him.

When the news of the marriage came back to the Song Dynasty, the second bedroom suddenly felt like the sky had collapsed, and the mother and daughter were in a quarrel.

"It is better to let my Pearl marry than to let us, mother and daughter, die together."

Mrs. Li came to the lake with Song Baozhu in her arms, crying and wanting to commit suicide. The servants stopped and persuaded her.

Song Baoling watched the excitement for a while, and estimated that it was almost over, then she ran forward pretending to be anxious.

"Second Aunt, please don't let your mind wander..."

"I heard that although Mr. Pei is a bit foolish, the eldest wife of the Pei family loves him very much. If Sister Zhuer marries her, they will definitely not treat her badly."

Li suddenly paused and turned to look at Song Baoling: "What did you say?"

Song Baoling caught her immediately when she saw the drama, and continued to persuade her: "I heard people say on the street that if Sister Zhuer marries into the Pei Mansion, she will become the mistress in the future."

"They also said that the Pei family's wealth is so big that even if Mr. Pei is not very smart, it is enough to keep Sister Zhuer well-fed and clothed for a lifetime."

Li's eyes instantly glowed when she heard her words. She naturally knew Pei Lin's family background and had previously wanted Zhu'er to enter the palace draft, so she wholeheartedly refused.

But now that the matter has become public knowledge, the possibility of Pearl being drafted is very slim. If she misses this opportunity again, she may not be so lucky in the future.

"Ling'er, what you said seems to make sense."

Song Baoling smiled obediently and nodded, "Of course, if Sister Zhuer marries well, then our Song family will be even more prosperous."

Hearing what she said, Li became more convinced, "You are right, if we get married, then our Pearl will be Mrs. Pei."

Song Baozhu was completely stunned. After coming to her senses, she cried and shouted: "Mom, I don't want to marry that fool, I won't marry."

"Zhu'er, listen to me. With the Pei family's status in the capital, you will definitely live a good life if you marry her."

"Then I won't get married, I will enter the palace to be drafted."

"No matter what show you choose, the Holy Father has granted you marriage. Do you want to resist the decree?"

"Anyway, I just won't marry Pei Lin, mother..."

Song Baozhu was determined not to marry. Li, who was blinded by interests, saw this and locked her up forcibly.

The next day, after breakfast, Song Baoling went to the villa in the second room, lied to Mrs. Li that she wanted to persuade Song Baozhu, and successfully entered the house.

"What are you here for?"

Song Baozhu asked angrily, and then snorted coldly, "It's all because of you that my mother changed her mind. You just don't want me to feel better!"

Hearing this, Song Baoling did not refute, but said with a smile: "Sister Zhu'er is so smart, but I have something to tell you today."

"In order to let Sister Zhuer know more about Pei Lin, I specially asked someone to inquire about her. What do you think I found out?"

Song Baozhu looked at the weird smile on her face and shrank back in fear, "What?"

Seeing her look like this, Song Baoling couldn't help but smile, "It seems you really want to know, so I'll kindly tell you."

"That talented Mr. Pei actually liked to kill small animals, such as kittens, puppies, and rabbits. Countless people died in his hands."

Song Baozhu's face suddenly turned pale. She swallowed her saliva nervously, suppressing her panic and said: "It's impossible, no matter how stupid he is, he won't..."

"It's just because you are stupid that you would do such a terrible thing. No normal person would be so cruel."

Song Baoling interrupted her bluntly. Seeing how frightened she looked, he smiled and patted her shoulder.

"So, if Sister Zhuer gets married, she must be careful, especially at night, so as not to be treated like a cat or a dog..."

At this point, Song Baoling wiped her neck, looked at her frozen face, laughed and walked away.

"ah!"

Song Baozhu's scream came from behind. After hearing it, Li wanted to go into the house to see her, but Song Baoling stopped her.

"Second Aunt, Sister Zhu'er still doesn't want to get married. I think it's better to let her calm down for a while. When she calms down and thinks about it carefully, she might be able to figure it out."

Li looked around the room hesitantly, but was finally persuaded by Song Baoling and did not go in to see Song Baozhu.

At this time, Song Baozhu was curled up on the bed, her mind filled with what Song Baoling said and her actions of wiping her neck.

"No, she must be trying to scare me..."

"She is taking revenge on me, yes, she must be taking revenge on me, she wants to scare me..."
