Duke Ding took it and opened the door, “We are here to ask about the progress of the case.”
The governor of the capital screamed in his heart and his face took on a bitter look, “It’s not that I’m not paying attention, it’s really because the other party has been so thorough, leaving no clues whatsoever.”
“You mean you can’t investigate?”
The capital’s governor’s heart trembled. He was wishing countless times that he would stop being this prefect and go and be a minor official, not having to take on anything. But it had taken him many years to climb up from the bottom, so he couldn’t really let go of it. The Duke of Ding has no real power, but who let Xiao Xianfei’s stomach compete? At this time, if Xiao Xianfei blew a pillow talk in the Emperor’s ear, he would immediately lose his official position.
“Your Highness, please give me a few more days, I will definitely be able to find out.”
“Fine then, you give me a definite date, a few days?”
The capitalist Yin was just pushing his luck, but he didn’t expect the Duke of Ding to be serious. He opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to squeeze his voice out of his teeth, “In a few days’ time, the Sixth Princess’s wedding will take place, and my men will have to go over to help, so when they do, you can allow me another three or four days.”
“Four days then, if the Lord Prefect hasn’t found out by then, we’ll go to the palace to face the sage.”
The magistrate sent the two men out with a smile, but when he turned around and looked at the quiet courthouse, his suppressed anger rushed to the sky, “Where are the people? Are they all dead? I’m telling you, if you don’t find out, I’ll send you all to a bitterly cold place before I’m jerked off!”
The Yachats were silent.
After leaving the Capital Mansion, Song Si went with Lord Ding to Lord Ding’s residence, from where he had lunch before returning to the Household Ministry.
By the afternoon, he left the government office and rode home in a carriage. He had just walked through the door without taking a few steps when he saw Song Wan Yue leaning on a pillar looking at him and smiling.
“What’s so happy?”
Song Si’s face also took on a smile, asking as he walked towards her.
Song Wan Yue laughed gloatingly, “You’ll know when you go back inside and take a look.”
Song Si’s footsteps towards her gave a pause as she looked at her smile and felt a bad feeling well up in her heart, immediately turning around and walking towards her house.
Song Wan Yue pulled out Er Ya who was hiding behind her and winked at her, “Go, go watch the good show.”
Erma also smiled with her eyebrows arched and covered her mouth, tiptoeing on her little feet to follow her over.
Qing’er was carrying things outside and was visibly stunned to see Song Si back so early, “Auntie, auntie.”
Seeing that he was carrying bedding in his hands, Song Si’s eyes narrowed, his voice as warm as ever, but with a coldness that made Qing’er’s heart panic, “What are you doing?”
“Moving, moving, moving ……”
Qing’er stammered in fear, not daring to say that she was moving his bedding out.
“Move it back.”
“Yes.”
Qing’er moved it back nimbly.
She originally didn’t want to move her aunt’s bedding away, it had been so many days since the wedding and she hadn’t yet consummated the marriage, so if Miss wasn’t anxious, she was getting anxious.
“I was the one who told her to move it.”
Xiao Yao’s voice rang out in the room, as she was used to speaking in a low voice these days, and still did not dare to speak loudly now.
Song Si, as well as Song Wan Yue and Er Ya who followed behind her to watch the fun, could still hear clearly.
Along with her words, Qing’er also paused.
Song Si glanced behind her and almost laughed when she saw the two faces behind her watching the fun.
The bedding was not even put down and Qing’er came out again with it in her arms.
“Xiao An.”
Song Si’s voice came out from inside the house.
Xiao An stood in the courtyard and answered.
“Take all the people away.”
This “people” naturally referred to Song Wangyue, Erma and Qing’er.
“Miss Song, Erma, Qing’er, let’s go.”
The three of them reluctantly exited the courtyard.
Inside the house, Song Thought walked over to Xiao Yao and sat down, and just as she passed, Xiao Yao stood up with a start and retreated to one side.
Song Si was instead taken aback by her movement, “What’s wrong?”
“I ……”
Xiao Yao knew she was wrong to do so, but from the bottom of her heart she didn’t want Song Si to look at her current ugly scars, “You, you, you’d better go sleep in the study first.”
“Reason?”
“I, I, I’m too ugly now, wait, wait for the scars to heal, after they heal you ……”
Xiao Yao’s voice was getting smaller and smaller.
“I’m the one who’s been applying medicine for you these past few days.”
Xiao Yao subconsciously covered her scar, if she had known it was so ugly, she would have never let Song Si help her with the medicine, “I, I know, but, but at that time I was hurt, you, you ……”
The night before she was married, her mother had told her many things and given her several pamphlets, she knew what a married couple should do, and it was because she knew that she had asked Qing’er to move Song Si’s bedding out, she wanted to present the best side of her to Song Si.
She twisted her hands together, her voice like a mosquito, “Please, please.”
……
When Song Si came out of the house, he met Song Wan Yue’s gloating eyes, he raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, pretending not to see it, and went to the study.
Three days later.
“It’s faded, it’s really faded.”
Qing’er was thrilled.
She took two mirrors for Xiao Yao to see.
In the mirrors, the red scars faded with the naked eye, especially the very deep one, which had changed the most.
Xiao Yao was also excited, “It’s really faded, I can really recover.”
She knew that Song Wangyue was highly skilled in medicine and knew that she would not lie to herself, but she was still worried. Now looking at the faded scars in front of her in the mirror, she wanted to jump up and down with joy, wanting to run to Song Si and say that her neck was not so ugly anymore and would quickly return to its original smoothness.
Qing’er looked at Song Wangyue adoringly, “Miss Song, you are simply too divine.”
It was amazing that you could really make Miss get rid of the scars.
Song Wangyue also raised her eyebrows in triumph, “That’s right, I am not going to make a move, but once I do, I have to make a splash.”
Xiao Yao was amused by her words, and after laughing, she took Song Wan Yue’s hand and solemnized her expression, “Yue’er, thank you.”
……
Song Si came back from the court and obviously felt the atmosphere at home, without waiting for him to ask, Qing’er already happily reported, “Miss Song’s medicine works well, Miss’s scars have faded.”
“That’s good.”
Song Si was also overjoyed, wanting to say take a look, but then thinking of Xiao Yao’s care, he swallowed his words back and said, “The day after tomorrow Sun Jin will be getting married, you come with me there.”
“Good.”
……
In the palace of Consort Shu.
The Emperor is sitting in a chair and Consort Shu is standing behind him, massaging his shoulders.
Concubine Xiao was pregnant and the Emperor had indeed left the marriage of the Sixth Princess to her, so Concubine Shu’s heart, which had been restless for a long time, was finally at peace.
The emperor opened his eyes and patted the hand, gesturing for her to sit down, “These days, I’ve been so sorry for you.”
The tears almost came out of Consort Shu’s eyes, her eyes were red and her voice was slightly choked, “I am not aggrieved.”
“I have no choice but to send the third prince to a bitterly cold place, if I still come to your palace often, it will make people suspicious.”
