Hearing that someone was going to plead for Guo Zhao, Song Lian suddenly sat up from the bed. Most of the swelling on his face had disappeared, leaving only a faint red mark.
But Song's mother was worried and kept him at home to recuperate from his injuries. She also didn't allow the wives and concubines in the backyard to pester him. But Song Lian was so depressed that she was thinking about Shen Yingxue even more. So Song Cang asked him what he wanted, and he was the first one. That's what came to mind.
"Shen Yingxue? From the Shen family?"
Song Cang guessed it after just a moment's thought. He originally thought that Song Lian was beaten by Guo Zhao for no reason, but he didn't expect that there was something hidden behind it.
"Yes...yes."
Song Lian felt guilty. His uncle had previously warned him to stop being a womanizer. Song Lian did not dare to cause trouble under Song Cang's nose, so he thought of going to Zhenjiang Mansion. Then he met Shen Yingxue, who was very interested in this young woman. People are obsessed with her and must have her.
"Uncle, Shen Yingxue has been infatuated with me for a long time. He was originally willing to marry me, but Guo Zhao got in the way and insisted on stealing a woman from me because of his physical strength. He wanted to fight me if I shouldn't. Kill me!"
Song Lian was afraid that Song Cang would not agree, so he deliberately distorted the truth. Anyway, Shen Yingxue was a powerless young woman. As long as his uncle helped him put pressure, it would be easy to get her into the house.
"Are you sure that Shen Yingxue is willing to marry you?"
Song Cang's eyes were suspicious. If it was true as Song Lian said, how could Shen Yingxue just watch him get beaten.
"My nephew is sure that although Shen Yingxue is Shen Yanqing's sister, she was married before and brought her daughter with her. She showed up on the street all day selling snacks to make a living. My nephew allowed her to be an equal wife. She is not grateful. Forget it, how could you refuse?"
"Yeah." Song Cang believed most of his words. After all, his nephew was handsome and his family background was unknown.
Shen Yingxue was a high-achieving wife for him, not to mention that she was a married woman, so being a concubine was quite acceptable.
"So uncle, please hurry up and write to Mr. Lin. As long as Shen Yingxue becomes my concubine, I am willing to let Guo Zhao go. If you want a woman or your life, as long as he is not a fool, he will know how to choose!"
Song Lian looked proud. He wanted Guo Zhao to watch his beloved woman being taken in by him. Just thinking of Guo Zhao's despair made Song Lian feel happy and he wished he could take Shen Yingxue in right away.
"good."
Song Cang nodded. If Shen Yingxue really entered the Song family, he could take the opportunity to win over Shen Yanqing. Although Shen Yanqing is now on the emperor's side, he is indeed a young man with considerable talents.
If we can win him over, it will also be beneficial to Prime Minister Liu.
The two of them never thought that Shen Yingxue would disagree.
Lin Yusheng frowned when he received the letter from his friend. Why was it related to the Shen family? It was just that his subordinate's case had turned around, so he had to give it a try anyway.
Lin Yusheng did not tell Guo Zhao about Song Lian's conditions. He first wrote a letter to Shen Yanqing to find out what he was saying. If it was true as the letter said that Shen Yingxue and Song Lian were in love, it was Guo Zhao who wanted to steal her love. If you don't have him, then this method is the best of both worlds.
When Shen Yanqing received the letter, his face was as dark as black ink, and his whole body was filled with anger.
"This is unreasonable, how dare they!"
He was shaking with anger and slammed the letter on the table. Jiang Miao was startled by him. This was the first time she saw Shen Yanqing so angry.
"Mr. Sir, what was written in the letter?"
"The Song family wants the eldest sister to be Song Lian's concubine."
"What? The Song family is so proud, and they still want their eldest sister to be their concubine. Bah, it's just an idiot's dream. Don't even think about it!"
Jiang Miao was very angry when she heard the content of the letter. She wished she could bring out all the eighteen generations of the Song family and scold them. It was indeed a family that could raise a shameless villain like Song Lian. They're like birds of a feather.
Shen Yingxue's face turned pale, and her eye circles were as red and swollen as two walnuts. She picked up the letter on the table with trembling hands. Shen Yanqing didn't want to show it to her. Such scandalous things would only stain her eyes.
"He wanted me to be his concubine, otherwise he would have to pay with his life..."
Shen Yingxue staggered, her legs softened and she almost fell to the ground. There was a despairing expression on her face, and a mournful sound came from her chest.
"Sister, don't worry, it was Song Lian who was unreasonable first, we will not let him succeed!"
Although the Song family's official position suppressed them, they could not cover the sky with one hand. She did not believe that they could really execute Guo Zhao if Shen Yingxue did not marry.
"Really? My benefactor will be fine?"
Shen Yingxue was flustered and lifeless. She came to life only after hearing Jiang Miao's words, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Absolutely not. Then Song Lian is just a skin injury. Guo Zhao's crime is not worthy of death. Now the Song family wants to use power to suppress others, but they don't know that he can suppress others and be suppressed by others. My husband and I have tried to find a way to find out. I'm here, sister, just wait for the news."
Shen Yanqing also nodded to her, and Shen Yingxue calmed down.
"Okay, I'll wait for the news. My benefactor will definitely be fine..."
She believed that the third couple were both capable and had never broken their promises. They would definitely be able to rescue Guo Zhao this time.
After seeing Shen Yingxue off, Jiang Miao sat next to Shen Yanqing, both of them still filled with anger.
"I will write a summary of the Song family's behavior and send it to the palace. The emperor will see that for my sake of building Zhenjiang Mansion, I will not let the officials feel cold."
Although I have asked Duke Lu Guo for help, I still have to write the memorial that needs to be written.
"Okay! I'll study the ink for Mr. Xiang!"
Her husband-in-law was also an official of the court. What the Song family did was not only to humiliate Shen Yingxue, but also to humiliate Shen Yanqing. To be more serious, Song Cang was backed by Prime Minister Liu, and Shen Yanqing was from the emperor's faction. Song Cang's approach was to directly Provoke the emperor.
"Huh, sir, you must write it clearly so that the emperor can see the evil deeds of the Song family and punish them for their crimes!"
"good."
When Shen Yanqing saw Jiang Miao's face filled with indignation, most of the anger in her heart dissipated. Fortunately, Miao Ya was with him, which prevented him from becoming so angry that he lost his mind.
Shen Yingxue tossed and turned and had nightmares at night. She dreamed that Guo Zhao was beheaded and blood stained the floor. She was so frightened that she woke up with cold sweat all over her body.
"No, I have to go see him."
She was afraid that her nightmare would come true, and she would not rest assured until she saw Guo Zhao's safety with her own eyes.
Shen Yanqing knew his worries, and since Guo Zhao was in jail for her, she deserved a visit. He sent Li Biao to personally escort her to safety, and Shen Yingxue went out early in the morning.
