The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 1247: Acting Shameless Together?

The old Song patriarch looked at Song Ci’s sarcastic tone and couldn’t bear it any longer. He tried to sound stern but his voice was weak, "What kind of lousy idea is this? I might be willing, but would the others be?""That depends on how shameless you can be with your words and face," Song Ci sneered. "After all, it’s just a verbal agreement. There’s no written proof, and it was all drunken nonsense. If you insist it was your own doing, what can the others say even if they find servants to testify? It’s even better if they do; you can just say you were drunk and didn’t know what you were doing, that it was all their inducement, and the wine was from their house."

The crowd: "..."

Can it really be handled this way?

Isn’t this just acting shamelessly?

Exactly, it’s being shameless.

Song Zhiyuan said helplessly, "Mother, this is a last-resort tactic. If it gets out, our family will also lose face."

"Then how else can we reclaim the imperial gift without any effort?" Song Ci snorted coldly. "I know being shameless is ugly, but elder brother, you’re a smart man, ask yourself honestly, isn’t the Qingcheng Marquis a rogue? Didn’t he intentionally set a trap to mislead this fool? If he didn’t have a guilty conscience, when that fool went to retrieve the Jade Ring, he would have handed it over readily instead of hiding."

Dumb fool, stupid fool old patriarch: felt deeply insulted.

Song Ci knew how ugly this situation would get if it blew up, but now the token was being held by someone else, their family was at a disadvantage, and it had to be resolved.

She hated Song the white dough boy for drinking and causing trouble, but also hated that Qingcheng Marquis for being a rogue to deceive the token. She couldn’t believe there wasn’t any selfish motive on their part.

Intentionally getting this fool drunk, then misleading him into some verbal agreement, taking the token along, and avoiding, refusing to return it when sought, where’s the fairness in that?

The Qingcheng Marquis has decided to cling to the Song Family. Holding the token, it would be great if they could marry; if not, they could still exploit some benefits.

Now the Song Family is really in a situation where mud fell into the pants, it may not be feces but it looks like it, and they’re bound to lose some wealth or something to reclaim such a token.

Sitting at home, an old fool brings trouble.

The anger causes stinging pain in the heart.

Song Zhiyuan didn’t dare to immediately conclude Qingcheng Marquis intentionally set the trap, but he knew the other party was deliberately in control, even if marriage couldn’t be arranged, they had other demands.

Truly a headache.

The old Song patriarch wanted to say, "Anyway, it’s not like we don’t have a grandson, let them marry, wouldn’t that solve everything?"

But he didn’t dare to say it.

"Why don’t we first report the case, saying this old guy lost the Jade Ring, this way, when they come, it’ll block all gossip," Song Ci suggested.

Song Zhiyuan replied, "Doing this would completely offend the Qingcheng Marquis Mansion."

"This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, then how to handle this? Really want Jie’er and them to engage in that marriage?" Song Ci said, frustrated. "Not to mention how the girl from Qingcheng Marquis Mansion is, I just don’t want Jie’er and them to be wronged."

"Mother." Song Zhicheng was deeply moved. Truly a wonderful grandmother.

"If everything else fails, then let the old man take a concubine. The family doesn’t lack that one extra mouth to feed, but it will indeed wrong you children." Song Ci looked sympathetically at her sons and daughters-in-law, who would have to bow to a young girl as an Aunt, how unfair.

Sons and daughters-in-law: "..."

We beg you, stop poisoning us.

Song Zhiyuan said, "I’ll have Jiang Fula look into this matter, Mother, don’t worry, it can be solved. It’s late, Mother, please have a good rest, leave big matters to me!"

"Exactly, big matters are for the eldest to handle, why worry?" The old Song patriarch sighed in relief.

Song Ci picked up a pillow and threw it, "Get lost, wherever it’s cooler, go there, you troublemaker!"
