Chapter 140 This is the way

Song Shiwei taught her to say this.

It is better not to cry or make a fuss than to cry and say that you don’t want to get married or go to the marriage alliance.

Only in this way can my father feel pity and guilt.

Sure enough, after hearing his daughter's words, Emperor Hui was deeply moved.

He hesitated for a moment and thought about accepting the proposal of marriage.

After all, years of war have left the treasury empty and the people living in poverty. If there is a chance to exchange for a marriage alliance, why not do it?

But if this peace requires sacrificing his daughter's happiness, wouldn't he be a failure as a father and a king?

He took a deep breath and said seriously: "Is my father such a foolish person?

You are the apple of my father's eye, how could he bear to let you marry into a foreign country?"

Xiao Yetang's eyes became hot and he reached out to hug Emperor Hui: "Father."

Emperor Hui touched her head lovingly and said, "In order to avoid any more trouble, it is better to decide on your son-in-law as soon as possible.

What do you think of Concubine Xian's nephew, Cui Xingjian from the Bo Ling Cui family? I heard that he taught you how to play pot today?"

Hearing that her father favored Cui Xingjian, Xiao Yetang felt a little flustered. She hurriedly said, "Father, I have someone I like."

"Oh?"

Emperor Hui asked, "Who is it?"

Xiao Yetang bit his lip and replied, "I like Prime Minister Qin's son Qin Muyan."

Emperor Hui frowned and said with disdain, "Why do you like Qin Muyan?

He is a dandy boy who does nothing all day and has no ambitions. How can he be worthy of you? "

Xiao Yetang blinked and said, "He...he is good-looking."

Emperor Hui choked. Well, the only redeeming quality about Qin Muyan was his face.

He said, "Forget it. I will ask Prime Minister Qin for his opinion some other day. If Qin Muyan has no objection, I will grant you marriage."

Xiao Yetang's face lit up: "Thank you, father."

When Emperor Hui saw his daughter's smiling face, he was also happy. She was his only daughter and he loved her like a treasure.

After sitting for a while, Emperor Hui got up and left.

After seeing Emperor Hui off, Xiao Yetang hurriedly opened the bed curtain, and Qin Muyan crawled out from under the bed with a dark face.

Seeing a spider web hanging on his head, Xiao Yetang held back his smile and reached out to help him brush it off.

Qin Muyan looked at her with a dark face: "Originally, the princess only likes this face of mine!"

Xiao Yetang knew that he was wronged, so he could only coax him gently: "Isn't this what you said because of the situation? Don't be angry, Prince Consort."

Qin Muyan was overjoyed when he heard the name of his consort. He deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Your Highness is so coaxing. It's too insincere."

Xiao Yetang glared at him: "How else do you want me to coax you?"

Qin Muyan pointed to his lips and said, "Kiss me, and I won't be angry anymore."

Suddenly, Xiao Yetang's face turned red again, and she wanted to scold him for being indecent.

But my father agreed that this man would be her consort sooner or later.

Xiao Yetang plucked up the courage to stand on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips lightly.

When she was about to step back, Qin Muyan grabbed her waist and said, "This is the way to go."

After that, he began to teach her what a kiss is by example.

Cheng Enbo Mansion.

Song Moting received news from Baiyun Temple that his daughter was missing. He has sent more people to look for her, but they have not found her yet.

Although Mingzhu had a bad reputation, she was still his beloved daughter for more than ten years.

I thought that after the storm had died down, I would find a good family outside the capital for her.

But now this kind of thing happened.

Song Moting rubbed his aching head, and at this moment the door was suddenly pushed open.

Jingniang ran in with a panicked look on her face and said, "My dear, my sister...she's gone!"

Song Moting was startled and stood up hurriedly and asked, "What's going on?"

Jingniang cried and said, “I don’t know who leaked the news and told my sister that the second young lady was missing in Baiyun Temple.

My sister was so angry after hearing this that she couldn't hold on and passed away."

Song Moting thought about the poison he had given Zhou. This kind of chronic toxicity would make people feel seriously ill, and they would usually last about half a year.

He poisoned Zhou twice, and only one poison was left to kill her.

Song Moting hurried to Minghua Hall, and when he saw him come in, the doctor said with a heavy face, "My Lord, please accept my condolences.

Madam was already in poor health, and now she suddenly passed away after hearing the tragic news."

Song Moting stumbled, he looked at the person lying on the bed, ran over crying, held her hand and shouted: "Madam, Madam, how can you be so cruel."

Jingniang felt disgusted when she saw his hypocritical appearance.

But she still cooperated and started crying. The maids and old women outside knelt in the yard and also cried softly.

Song Moting held Zhou's gradually cooling hand, and only then did he realize that she was really dead. At this moment, he felt a sense of relief.

The potential threat is gone, and no one will know what he has done.

Looking at Zhou's haggard appearance, a trace of guilt flashed through his heart.

If she hadn't been so strong, he wouldn't have been so cruel to take her life.

She can only blame herself.

Song Moting was crying "heartbrokenly", and anyone who saw him would not doubt that he was the devil who killed his wife.

Jingniang stepped forward and comforted Song Moting, saying, "My dear, please accept my condolences. If my sister were still alive, she would not want to see you so sad.

Right now the whereabouts of the Second Miss is unknown, you need to cheer up and find her as soon as possible, so you can't give up.

As for sister's funeral, leave it to me. I will make sure sister passes away in a dignified manner."

Song Moting nodded, then left sadly with the help of his servants.

After getting permission, Jingniang immediately began to prepare for Zhou's funeral, and then sent someone to notify Song Shiwei.

When Song Shiwei rushed back, the mourning hall had already been set up.

She cried symbolically, and then kept vigil for Zhou with Jingniang.

Because the weather was too hot, the body could not be kept there, so after keeping the body for a day, Song Moting had the coffin sealed.

Three days later, Song Mingzhu's whereabouts were still not found, so Song Moting had no choice but to have Zhou buried.

The huge funeral procession passed through Xishan.

Song Mingzhu was lying on the bed, feeling a little dazed when she heard the funeral music coming from outside.

Ever since Shen Linchuan raped her, she had been lying in bed for three days.

She was in so much pain that she was about to die, but she didn't even have the strength to commit suicide.

The door opened and Shen Suyun came to bring her food.

She glanced at Song Mingzhu lying on the bed and deliberately said, "Did you hear the funeral music outside? Do you know who died?"

She leaned close to Song Mingzhu's ear and said in an evil voice, "It's your mother."

Song Mingzhu's eyes widened, she grabbed Shen Suyun's collar and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said your mother died and was about to be buried."

Shen Suyun clicked her tongue twice: "Now your father cares most about Song Shiwei, and he doesn't care about your life or death at all.

Your mother, the only person who cared about you, is dead too. You are so pitiful."
