Chapter 524: This is to deceive me? (Supplement 1)
Shen Tianshu used to have a gentle and even timid image to the outside world. After changing his mind, he rarely showed his temper to the outside world.
Therefore, this attack not only frightened Cheng Yingxin, but also frightened Song Rongqian who was hiding under the quilt.
After sending Cheng Yingxin away, Shen Tianshu seemed to be still angry, and said in a bad tone: "Miss Song hasn't come out yet, why don't you wait for me to invite you?"
Song Rongqian hurriedly got out of the quilt, her face was red from suppressing it, and she said sarcastically: "Cheng Yingxin is too verbose, and after lingering for so long, if you hadn't lost your temper at her, I would have suffocated under the quilt. "
"Miss Song doesn't have to be like this. I scolded her away because I don't like her, but it doesn't mean that I want to help you." Shen Tianshu said without raising his eyelids, "As I just said, I don't I don’t want to get involved in these things of yours.”
Song Rongqian was far more discerning than Cheng Yingxin. She was not annoyed when she heard this. Instead, she smiled and thanked Shen Tianshu: "Of course you should be grateful to Cheng Yingxin for not directly revealing the news about me here to Cheng Yingxin, and of course I should thank you.
"Of course, if you can help people to the end and send Buddha to the West, I will be even more grateful to you."
Shen Tianshu sat back on the chair, looked at her helplessly and said, "Is Miss Song cheating on me?"
Song Rongqian lowered her eyes and said, "I just hope Miss Shen can listen to what I have to say and then decide whether to help me, okay?"
Shen Tianshu sighed, it seemed that he couldn't go to bed early today.
"Then tell me, aren't you the legitimate daughter of the Song family? The Cheng family has eaten the heart of a bear and treated you like this?"
When Song Rongqian heard this, her expression was slightly awkward. She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said: "After I came to Yongzhou Mansion, everyone in the Cheng family introduced me as the legitimate daughter of the Song family.
"Strictly speaking, it's not wrong. It's just that I am not the direct daughter of the main family, but a side branch.
"And my mother is a descendant of a branch of the Song family who was later married to fill in the house.
"My father's first wife left him a pair of excellent children, but my mother only gave birth to a daughter.
"You may not believe it. Over the years, the lives of our mother and daughter in the Song family have not been as good as those of our aunt and concubine."
When Song Rongqian said this, she paused for a moment.
After coming to Yongzhou Prefecture from the capital, she transformed from an unpopular girl to a noble daughter of the Song family of Shuntian Prefecture.
The admiration and respect of the people around her soon made her lose herself and immersed herself in the lies spun by this person.
Now it still takes a certain amount of courage for her to open her mouth and burst the bubble of this beautiful dream.
Song Rongqian took a deep breath and continued: "The reason why my mother sent me all the way from the capital to Huguang is not because she wanted to marry me into the prince's palace, as outsiders speculated...
"But, it's because, if she doesn't send me away, my father will marry me to an older man than her to fill a house."
Many things that I usually don't dare to think about when I'm alone have already begun, so I don't care about them anymore and talk about them all in one breath.
Of course, this is also thanks to Shen Tianshu being a good listener.
She gave Song Rongqian full respect throughout the whole process, listened quietly and carefully, and did not make any expressions or actions that would be embarrassing or embarrassing.
After confirming that Song Rongqian had finished speaking, Shen Tianshu finally asked: "According to what you said, when you came to Huguang from the capital, it was to avoid an unwanted marriage. So is it the same reason why you are avoiding the Cheng family now? ?”
Cheng Yingxin smiled bitterly and said: "That's right. When I first arrived in Huguang, my aunt's enthusiasm and concern really made me think that I could regard the Cheng family as my own home.
"Later I realized that there is no good thing in this world for no reason. Even my biological father cannot be trusted. How can I count on an aunt I have never met before?"
"She never thought about helping me find a good marriage. She had already made her own plans from the very beginning when she agreed to my mother sending me here."
"She wants to kiss more?"
Shen Tianshu thought for a moment, the Cheng family's young master and the daughter of a branch of the Song family were a good match, not to mention they were aunts and cousins.
Unless Song Rongqian hates Cheng Xuhuan very much, this is not a bad marriage.
Song Rongqian heard this and sneered: "How can I be worthy of her precious son? She wants me to marry the second son of the Cheng family."
Shen Tianshu was stunned for a moment before he realized who Cheng Erlang was. Cheng Haodong only had a son and a daughter, so this so-called Cheng Erlang should be his nephew.
Considering that Cheng Haodong came from a poor family and his brothers should all be commoners, it's no wonder Song Rongqian disagreed.
Mrs. Cheng's thoughts were very real. She knew Song Rongqian's identity and status in the Song family, but outsiders did not.
"If you can marry the nephew of the Cheng family, you will be considered decent. The son of the Cheng family married the legitimate daughter of the Song family in the capital. In a place far away from the capital like Huguang, this name can still scare many people.
"Secondly, you can use this to improve the status of the Cheng family. At least in the future, when her son is planning to marry, you will become her standard for selecting her daughter-in-law, making it easier for her to raise Cheng Xuhuan's worth to the outside world.
"I really didn't realize that although Mrs. Cheng is from an ordinary background, she is very good at calculating."
When Song Rongqian heard this, she couldn't help but feel angry and a bit humiliated. Mrs. Cheng and her mother were sisters from the same mother. Shen Tianshu said that Mrs. Cheng was of ordinary origin, which was no different from her mother.
She looked up at Shen Tianshu and asked with a bit of revenge: "Then do you know who my good aunt is targeting after using me to raise my cousin's worth?"
Shen Tianshu sensed the answer from Song Rongqian's eyes and couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, saying: "The Cheng family is really high-spirited.
"Okay, you don't have to use words to provoke me. Your request to me shouldn't be as simple as asking me to help you take you back to the capital, right?"
"It's impossible to go back to the capital, but my request is actually very simple." Song Rongqian shook her head firmly, "If Miss Shen is willing to help me, as long as she can help me avoid the Cheng family and send me out of Dongquan Temple."
Hearing this, Shen Tianshu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her.
Song Rongqian's eyes dodge when she saw her, and she felt inexplicably guilty.
"So, there are people outside the temple waiting to pick you up?"
However, Song Rongqian refused to say any more and shook her head: "Don't ask about these things in detail. The less you know, it will be a good thing for you and me."
Shen Tianshu disagreed with her statement, shook his head and said: "Since you want me to help you escape, you must let me know that you have already made follow-up arrangements.
"Otherwise, if I send you out so rashly, if something unexpected happens, wouldn't I be doing something bad with good intentions?"
Song Rongqian hesitated for a long time, and finally just said: "I can only tell you that after I go out, there will be a reliable person I can seek refuge with."
"In other words, this is just wishful thinking, a 'plan' that you just came up with while hiding under the quilt, and the 'reliable' person you are going to seek refuge with still doesn't know that you are going to elope with him?"
