Chapter 50: She Used Me
Song Shiwei looked back and saw Yongning Marquis's son Gu Yucheng and his men rushing over.
The noble ladies gathered together hurriedly saluted when they saw this.
Gu Yucheng looked straight ahead, he walked up to Zhao Jinling and asked coldly: "I will ask you again, did you frame that person?
Think carefully before answering. After all, Miss Song has just explained the whole matter clearly.
If you insist on not admitting it, then go to the Dali Temple and experience the torture."
Zhao Jinling was so frightened that her face turned pale. She fell to her knees and said, "Please spare me, my lord. I was just... just joking with Miss Shen."
After all, she was a girl who grew up in seclusion and couldn't stand being frightened. She had just refused to admit it, but now she has confessed everything.
Gu Yucheng glanced at her coldly: "Are you kidding? Do you think anyone would believe it?
Today is the day of my sister's coming-of-age ceremony, but you are here to spread rumors and frame others. You simply don't take our Yongning Marquis Mansion seriously!"
"Sir, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
Zhao Jinling cried bitterly and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
Gu Yucheng snorted, and ordered the guards behind him, "Drive Miss Zhao out of the mansion, and never let her enter the gate of our mansion again."
The guard came forward and pulled Zhao Jinling up.
Zhao Jinling was horrified, and she looked at Song Mingzhu desperately for help and said, "Sister Mingzhu, please help me say something.
I did this for you. If I was kicked out, my father would beat me to death."
Song Mingzhu's face changed, and she was eager to distance herself from her and said, "Stop talking nonsense here. What does what you did have to do with me?"
She hurriedly said to Gu Yucheng, "Don't listen to her nonsense, my lord. She is just desperate and wants to drag me down with her.
Miss Shen’s affairs have nothing to do with me.”
"Song Mingzhu!"
When Zhao Jinling saw that she had turned against her, she immediately flew into a rage.
She shouted, "It's you who can't stand Song Shiwei and want to make her look bad in public, so you set your sights on Shen Suyun.
If it wasn't for you, why would I target her and frame her?
I did all this for you, but in the end you are the one stepping on me, do you still have any conscience?"
Song Mingzhu was very angry, she said: "It was obviously your idea to frame Shen Suyun, don't throw all the dirty water on me.
I know you have complaints against me, but you can't hurt me like this, right?"
"You bitch!"
Zhao Jinling broke free from the guards, rushed towards Song Mingzhu and started fighting with her.
The two of them tore at each other's hair, neither of them willing to let go.
There were only screams one after another, and the people around were just busy watching the fun, and no one tried to pull them apart.
Gu Yucheng couldn't bear it anymore and asked the guards to pull the two apart.
His face was livid as he ordered, "Throw both of them out."
He doesn't give face to anyone. If anyone dares to cause trouble in the Yongning Marquis's mansion, you can't blame him for being unkind.
The guards took Song Mingzhu and Zhao Jinling away together.
The noble ladies who were watching shrank their necks, fearing that they would be implicated.
Although Gu Yucheng, the son of Yongning Marquis, had a handsome face, he was well-known in the capital for his cold-bloodedness.
This face is like an iceberg that has never melted. He has never been kind to women, and today they have finally seen it for themselves.
You have to know that Song Mingzhu wanted to discuss marriage with him, but she was still ruthless when she turned against him.
Gu Yucheng didn't like these conspiracies and schemes among women. If it hadn't happened in the Marquis' Mansion, he wouldn't have meddled in this matter.
He looked at Song Shiwei, still with a cold face, and even his tone was very stiff: "I wonder if Miss Song is satisfied with this, my prince?"
Song Shiwei smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince, for doing justice for Suyun."
Gu Yucheng frowned. Why did he feel like he was being used by her?
It turns out that this kind of thing should not be interfered by him, a prince.
The reason why he appeared here was that he was invited by someone. The one who invited him here was the maid beside Song Shiwei.
If this matter was handled by his mother, she would most likely treat it as a misunderstanding and let the matter go.
This way no one is offended.
Unfortunately, he realized it too late and had already fallen into Song Shiwei's trap.
Gu Yucheng looked at Song Shiwei with a gloomy look in his eyes. He said, "Miss Song, can I have a word with you?"
Song Shiwei showed a kind smile, but rejected him: "I'm afraid it's not possible. How can I, a married woman, be alone with the prince? Let's talk about it here."
Gu Yucheng: "..."
This was not the excuse he gave when he refused to give Song Shiwei a ride when her carriage broke down on the road, so this woman did it on purpose.
Including the words she said that day!
Gu Yucheng clenched his fists, glared at Song Shiwei with his sharp eyes, and then squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "I'll remember you!"
He snorted coldly, turned around and walked away.
Song Shiwei raised her eyebrows and was in a very good mood.
The people who were watching the fun had already dispersed when Gu Yucheng threw Song Mingzhu and Zhao Jinling out.
She turned around to look at Shen Suyun, and saw that she was staring at Gu Yucheng who was leaving with shy eyes, obviously a girl in love.
In her previous life, Shen Suyun did have a crush on Gu Yucheng, but because Song Mingzhu humiliated her, she was so angry that she wanted to snatch her marriage away.
But how could a man as arrogant as Gu Yucheng possibly look down on her?
Song Shiwei coughed lightly: "Don't look at it anymore. You won't have the chance if you look at it again."
A basin of cold water was poured over Shen Suyun, chilling her to the bone.
She frowned and said unconvincedly: "How do you know I don't have a chance?
Didn't he just stand up for me and seek justice for me?"
Song Shiwei: "..."
She was so angry that she laughed: "Although I know you are an ungrateful person, I didn't expect you to be so cruel.
When you were framed by Zhao Jinling and were at a loss for words and unable to defend yourself, who stood up to help you clear your name?
Do you think that Master Gu appeared here for no reason to help you get justice? Wasn't it me who invited him here?
In the end, all the credit belongs to Master Gu. Shen Suyun, do you still have a conscience?"
Shen Suyun was scolded by her until her face turned red. She refused to admit defeat and said, "Why did Zhao Jinling want to harm me? Isn't it because of you?"
"Ah."
Song Shiwei sneered and asked, "Did I ask you to come to the banquet?
Was it me who made you give an old hairpin as a gift and be laughed at? Was it me who made you steal my jade bracelet?
Shen Suyun, God is watching what you do. I helped you with good intentions but you didn't appreciate it. This won't happen again next time.
You can take care of yourself from now on."
She turned to leave, but then she remembered something and said, "By the way, let me kindly remind you not to daydream.
The position of Crown Prince Consort of Gu Yucheng belongs to my sister Song Mingzhu, otherwise how could she have the confidence to stir up trouble in the Marquis' Mansion?
Gu Yucheng drove her out just to show off to others.
Don't be so foolish as to flatter yourself. In the eyes of Prince Gu, you are nothing!"
