Chapter 816 A troublemaker arrived.
Song Ruozhen looked at the Prince of Liang in front of her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Your Highness, what are you doing here? I heard that the Princess Consort of Liang has been disfigured, and the concubine who hasn't even entered the household yet has been reduced to a servant. How can you still have the mind to wander around like this?"
King Liang was originally waiting to see Song Ruozhen make a fool of herself, as any woman who had experienced such a dangerous scene would surely be terrified.
Who would have thought that Song Ruozhen not only didn't panic at all, but instead even had the mind to mock him when she opened her mouth!
"I didn't expect the Princess Consort of Chu to be so concerned about my affairs?" King Liang said with a forced smile.
"After all, they've caused such a commotion, it's hard to go unnoticed, especially since they've teamed up to harm my cousin."
Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows, a faint smile playing on her delicate features, but inwardly she was seething with rage. That damned bastard had actually orchestrated this whole thing for her!
It's only polite to retaliate. This bastard will be punished!
Bai Zhi and Qing Teng had already walked to Song Ruozhen's side and were looking at her with concern. "Your Highness, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Song Ruozhen waved her hand, glancing around. "Were any civilians injured by the carriage?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, we rescued the person immediately, and no one was injured."
Bai Zhi quickly spoke up, admiring the princess even more. Before leaving today, the princess had said that something would happen, and she had specially brought four guards with her, just in case.
Now it seems fortunate that she brought them along; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for her and Qing Teng alone to protect these people from harm.
"The carriage rushed out like that just now, and the people were bound to be frightened."
Song Ruozhen took out a silver note and handed it to Bai Zhi, "Go and make amends to the frightened people, and compensate them double for the damaged stalls as well."
Such a big incident will soon spread throughout the capital, and the reputation of the Chu Prince's Mansion will be severely damaged. If it is not resolved quickly, it may ruin the Prince's reputation.
"Your Highness, rest assured, this servant will certainly handle the matter properly."
Bai Zhi accepted the silver note. There had been previous incidents where the horses of powerful and wealthy people had run over and killed people. Such incidents would damage public morale and had to be handled carefully.
When King Liang saw that Song Ruozhen handled everything in an orderly manner, not only without panicking, but also by minimizing the impact of the matter, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
In comparison, Qi Qingyi is indeed a good-for-nothing!
Utterly useless!
When faced with such a situation, all they do is cry and complain; they have no idea how to solve it.
He had really misjudged her before; he hadn't realized Song Ruozhen was a remarkable person and had thought she was just a brainless sucker.
She took out the Song family's money for Lin Zhiyue to squander, was completely devoted to him, and never doubted him in the slightest. This kind of not-so-bright woman would indeed be a virtuous wife and loving mother if she were married, but she has no other merits besides that.
Unexpectedly, after discovering Lin Zhiyue's betrayal, this woman seemed to have become a different person. She no longer hid her previous abilities, which allowed Chu Junting to take advantage of her.
If he had known this would happen, he should have married her back then. Just the wealth of the Song family alone could have been a great help to him.
"Since we've met by chance, why don't we have a cup of tea together?"
King Liang spoke again, "I have heard that your medical skills are extremely superb, and that you also saved General Bai from the brink of death."
My mother is unwell, and the imperial physicians have seen her but she hasn't recovered. Perhaps the Princess Consort of Chu might have a solution?
Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. Was this the start of a deal?
"Since we've bumped into each other by chance, having a cup of tea won't hurt."
Just as the two were about to leave, they suddenly heard a loud and sharp sound.
"Song Ruozhen, you've already married the Prince of Chu, yet you still arrange to have tea with him. Isn't that a bit too indecent?"
The moment Song Ruozhen heard these words, she felt like she had bumped into some idiot. She turned her head and saw an excited Wu Yue'er.
The way he looked...it was as if she had successfully caught him raping a woman.
"Isn't this Princess Kang? I almost forgot that there was someone like you in the capital."
Song Ruozhen raised the corners of her eyes. This guy had previously picked and chose among several princes, and finally brought together the Seventh Prince and Meng Qin, which could be considered a meritorious deed.
Since returning from Qiyang City, she had almost forgotten about this guy, but she didn't expect to run into him again today.
When Wu Yue'er saw Song Ruozhen say that she had almost forgotten about her, as if she were just an unknown nobody, her expression immediately turned ugly.
This woman really has the ability to make people hate her with just her words!
"Of course you don't want to see me. I saw you seducing the Prince of Liang today. I really didn't expect you to be so ungrateful!"
Wu Yue'er clicked her tongue in amazement. She had heard that a horse had gone mad, so she went to check it out.
Seeing that Song Ruozhen was frightened, she felt extremely relieved, but she never expected that Prince Liang would suddenly appear and care about her so much.
This woman already has the King of Chu, yet she's still so promiscuous. If the King of Chu knew, he definitely wouldn't want her anymore!
"Wu Yue'er, a brain is a good thing, I really wish you had one."
Song Ruozhen shook her head, her eyes looking at him as if he were a fool.
"What kind of look is that? I'm just too smart, that's why I can see through your schemes!"
Wu Yue'er scoffed, "I've seen plenty of people like you, and you've used many insidious methods. You deliberately put yourself in danger just to attract men's attention, all for the sake of being a hero and saving a damsel in distress!"
Song Ruozhen: "...It's rare to see someone as stupid as you."
“How could I, a married man and a member of the royal family, seduce His Highness Prince Liang in front of so many people on the street?”
His Highness Prince Liang merely happened to see me in trouble and inquired about me out of consideration for his sister-in-law, yet you have pinned this crime on him.
Then everything you did before was truly fickle and promiscuous, wasn't it?
At this moment, the King of Liang also frowned. "Princess Consort Kang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
"My relationship with my sister-in-law is completely innocent. After this happened, anyone who knows us would ask with concern, 'How did you come to portray it as such a sordid affair?'"
Wu Yue'er had never met Liang Wang before, but she thought he was handsome. Unlike Chu Junting's dashing and heroic appearance, he was more delicate and feminine, with extremely refined and three-dimensional features.
It must be said, he is a handsome man.
Hearing Liang Wang's words, she looked slightly embarrassed and said:
"Your Highness, why did you invite Song Ruozhen for tea out of the blue? I feel it's inappropriate. Perhaps I could go with you instead?"
She's very clever!
If there really was no shady dealings between the two, King Liang should have sent someone to inform King Chu immediately, instead of inviting Song Ruozhen for tea himself!
