Chapter 112 The King of Chu Has Come to Pick You Up
The next day.
Upon hearing the news from the Luo family, the Song family members all felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
"Qingyin's health was not good to begin with. She was frightened yesterday and caught a cold. She has a high fever that won't go down. I'm afraid she will need to rest for a long time after she wakes up."
Liu Ruyan looked worried. "This child is really heartbreaking. If we could still have the chance to marry her into our family, that would be a real blessing for us."
However, Madam Luo has been unwilling to speak to me because of what happened back then, and she has rejected all the visiting cards I sent..."
Song Ruozhen and the others exchanged glances. They used to have a very good relationship with the Luo family, but after Song Yanzhou got married, the Luo family stopped associating with them.
A deep sorrow lingered in Song Yanzhou's handsome eyes. "Mother, I want to go visit the Luo family."
“We should go and see her.” Liu Ruyan nodded. “I knew she was a kind and considerate girl from the beginning, but I never imagined she would suffer so much.”
We've wronged Qingyin and the Luo family in this matter. Regardless of their attitude after we go there, we should accept it respectfully, understand?
After Song Ruozhen and the others returned yesterday, they explained everything clearly. Liu Ruyan was heartbroken to learn that Luo Qing had known the truth from the beginning.
She had liked Luo Qingyin from the beginning and was looking forward to the two children getting married as soon as possible. She was very disappointed when she learned that Song Yanzhou was determined to marry Fan Siying.
Now that there might be a chance to rekindle their romance, she naturally wants to find a way.
"Mother has already prepared some top-quality medicinal herbs. We will go to the Luo family together later."
Hearing this, Song Yanzhou felt even more guilty. "Mother, it's all my fault for being unfilial and causing you so much trouble..."
“You are my son. It’s your fault for not noticing anything amiss when this happened. It’s only right that you come to apologize.”
Qingyin's love for you is deep and unwavering. No matter what, even if we have to kneel and beg, we must obtain the Luo family's forgiveness.
Liu Ruyan patted Song Yanzhou on the shoulder with a gentle smile, "When choosing a wife, look for a virtuous one. It's your good fortune to have a girl like you like her."
No matter how difficult things get on their end, it's all worth it as long as I can marry Qingyin. Besides, I've known Madam Luo for many years; she's stubborn but soft-hearted, she just can't let go of her pride."
Since the series of misfortunes that had befallen the family, no one had seen Liu Ruyan happy. But now, seeing her smiling broadly, everyone else also smiled.
With one less troublemaker, we gained a good sister-in-law. As for suffering some grievances, how can they compare to Luo Qingyin?
“Brother, Luo Huaili wouldn’t leave without a reason. Sister Luo was pushed into the water. We must find this person, otherwise we won’t be able to rest easy.”
Song Ruozhen looked at Song Yanzhou. The Luo family said that Luo Huaili was called away by someone, and Luo Qingyin and her maid were together. As a result, both of them were pushed into the water and did not have time to see who did it.
“I understand.” Song Yanzhou nodded. “There are only two possibilities: Yao Jinsheng or the Fan family. I will definitely investigate thoroughly.”
"Fifth Sister, the King of Chu has come to fetch you."
Upon hearing the news that had just come from outside, Song Yi'an gave her younger sister a strange look.
The King of Chu was notoriously difficult to approach; ordinary girls didn't even have the chance to speak with him. But this wasn't the first time Fifth Sister had been with the King of Chu.
Why would the King of Chu come to fetch his fifth sister out of the blue?
The eyes of everyone in the room turned to Song Ruozhen, their eyes filled with curiosity.
"Zhen'er, where is His Highness the Prince of Chu taking you?" Liu Ruyan asked in surprise. "Could it be that His Highness the Prince of Chu has feelings for you?"
"No!" Song Ruozhen quickly waved her hand. "Please don't misunderstand. The reason why the King of Chu came to pick me up is because he encountered a problem and needs my help."
Chu Junting did not marry in the book, and the Prince of Yun had specifically reminded her not to have any improper thoughts. She could not let her family misunderstand, lest it cause trouble.
Song Zhiyu looked on with suspicion, "His Highness the Prince of Chu is so capable, if even he can't solve this problem, how could you?"
"Third Brother, are you looking down on me?"
Song Zhiyu shook his head, but his expression was full of disbelief. "Who in the capital doesn't know the abilities of the Prince of Chu? I've heard that there are quite a few talented people who follow him, but... could it be some kind of metaphysical art?"
Song Ruozhen nodded, "It's about the Bai family."
"The Bai family?" Liu Ruyan suddenly realized. "I heard those ladies mention them a few days ago. They said it was quite frightening. Zhen'er, will she be in danger?"
"Don't worry, Mother, everything will be alright."
Song Ruozhen waved her hand. As the dignified sect leader of Xuanmen, she couldn't be hurt by such a trivial matter.
“Speaking of the eldest son of the Bai family, I have met him. He is extremely talented, but it’s a pity that he is not as popular in the family as his good-for-nothing younger brothers. It’s really strange,” Song Yi’an said.
"Second brother, do you know anything about the Bai family?"
"Among the three Bai brothers, the eldest son, Bai Zimu, is the most promising. He is now an official in the court and everyone praises him for his youth and talent."
His two younger brothers were not very promising. Although the second son was in the Imperial Academy, he was said to have been expelled for drinking too much.
As for the third son, he couldn't even get into the Imperial Academy.
Logically speaking, the eldest son of the Bai family should be the most promising and favored among the three brothers, but Madam Bai dislikes him and always dotes on the second and third sons.
Liu Ruyan wondered, "Could it be because he's the eldest son that he's being so strict?"
Song Yi'an subconsciously looked at Song Yanzhou, "My eldest brother is the eldest son, so my mother wouldn't have gone to such lengths."
Besides, every family hopes their son will be successful, and the more successful he is, the more attention he will receive—that's only human nature.
Song Ruozhen was naturally aware of the problem, but she would find out the truth once she went to see for herself.
"Your Highness is still waiting, so I'll take my leave now. I'll go to the Luo family later to help Sister Luo with her medical treatment."
"Go quickly." Liu Ruyan nodded.
Outside.
Song Ruozhen spotted Chu Junting at a glance—tall and handsome as a pine tree.
It was rare to see him wearing a moon-white robe; unlike his usual sharp demeanor, he now possessed a more refined and gentle air, like a graceful and elegant gentleman.
A gentle breeze blew by, causing the clothes to flutter, and a faint smile appeared on the man's handsome face, instantly making the whole scene vivid and dreamlike.
Seeing the woman momentarily stunned upon seeing him, Chu Junting's deep eyes flashed with a smile, but his face remained calm and composed.
"What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing, Your Highness, let's set off quickly."
Song Ruozhen snapped out of her daze and quickly waved her hand, thinking, "He truly is the male bodhisattva who has amazed the female lead."
Although we can only admire them from afar and not touch them, it's still wonderful to feast our eyes on them; at least they're pleasing to the eye.
Chu Junting let out a soft chuckle before they went to the Bai family together.
"The Bai family has already started a fight over this matter, but Zi Mu is very insistent on his stance, and the atmosphere is extremely tense."
However, if you discover anything later, just tell me directly; there's no need to worry about anyone else.
