Chapter 154 Everything is worth it
Seeing that he was determined to do so, the prince said nothing more. He picked up the teacup and clinked it with Shen Linchuan's cup, then they each drank it, thus reaching a cooperation.
Shen Linchuan looked at the sky outside and said, "It's late at night. It's not safe for Your Highness to go back. Why not wait until daybreak?"
He clapped his hands and heard the sound of a door being pushed open.
Shen Suyun walked in with wine and food. Her clothes were a little thin, and the soft gauze outlined her looming figure.
The prince stared at her, his eyes darkening.
Shen Linchuan said: "This is my sister Suyun. If Your Highness doesn't mind, let her serve you."
Shen Suyun knelt down and bowed to the prince, and said softly, "Suyun greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince vaguely sensed something was wrong with his body.
He stared at the cup of tea he had just drunk and knew he couldn't leave. He had to say that Shen Linchuan was really good at calculating.
In order to win him over, he was even willing to give away his own sister.
But it’s not worthwhile to exchange Wen Ruqing for such a thing.
No matter how poor Wen Ruqing was, she was still a young lady from a prominent family, the Duke of Zhenguo.
Shen Suyun had a bad reputation when she was in the capital. How could such a vulgar person be worthy of being his crown princess?
Shen Linchuan knew his concerns, and he leaned over to the prince's ear and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I know that my sister cannot be your crown princess with her looks and background.
She does not seek any status, as long as she can serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is her blessing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need to worry about anything. "
As he spoke, he gathered his sleeves and said to Shen Suyun, "Serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well."
After leaving these words, he turned and walked out.
After the door was closed, Shen Suyun boldly poured a glass of wine for the prince, brought it to his lips and said, "Your Highness."
The prince stared at her uneasy little face, which was obviously very nervous yet pretending to be relaxed.
Although she is not that stunningly beautiful, she has a good figure and is quite seductive.
He drank the wine that Shen Suyun fed him, then took her hand and held her in his arms, leaned over and passed the wine in his mouth to her.
Shen Suyun's eyes widened, and after taking a sip of liquor, her face turned red and her head felt dizzy.
While she was in a daze, she was picked up and placed on the couch, and then the man's body pressed down on her, like an unstoppable rainstorm or mountain torrent.
Amidst fear and anticipation, she became the prince's woman.
Even though it was extremely painful, she felt that it was all worth it when she thought about the day when she would be the mother of the country.
……
The next day.
The Dali Temple, the Minister of Punishments, and the Censor-in-Chief presented the evidence of Song Mo Ting's crimes to Emperor Hui.
Emperor Huidi looked at the three officials listing off Song Moting's crimes and immediately ordered the stripping of his title of Marquis Cheng'en. According to the law, he was beheaded in public at the Meridian Gate three days later.
As Song Moting's second wife, Zhou participated in the murder of Xu and set up a trap to frame Song Shiwei. When the evidence was conclusive, she was executed together with him.
All the properties under the name of Cheng Enbo were inherited by Song Shiwei.
Song Shiwei's act of redressing her mother's injustice and sacrificing her own relatives for the sake of justice was even rewarded by Emperor Hui.
Emperor Hui arranged for Xu and Song Moting to divorce, and posthumously conferred the title of Second-Rank Lady on Xu.
After receiving the imperial edict, Song Shiwei sought help from an expert to select a new Feng Shui location and moved her mother's grave out of the Song family's home.
From then on, her mother was no longer Song Moting’s deceased wife, she was free!
Song Shiwei knelt in front of the newly built tomb and burned the divorce letter in the brazier: "Mom, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been deceived by Song Moting and lost your life.
All a daughter can do is to seek justice for you and set you free."
"How can I blame you?"
Xiao Jingheng stood behind her. He squatted down and looked at Song Shiwei and asked, "What do you think caused the tragedy of your mother-in-law?"
Song Shiwei said: "It was that man who did not keep his promise to come back and marry her, and it was Song Moting who was greedy and cunning.
It's because the gossips of this world cannot tolerate a woman who is pregnant before marriage."
"So, it's not your fault."
Xiao Jingheng touched her head and said, "You are right to want to change the world."
"But what should I do?"
Song Shiwei looked at her mother's cold name on the tombstone and recalled what happened in the Dali Temple that day.
She said: "When Song Moting said I was a bastard and that my mother was unfaithful to her husband, I didn't even dare to tell the truth.
I don’t mind being criticized by them, but I’m afraid that they will scold my mother and that she will have to endure other people’s malicious speculations in her grave.
So I could only confirm that I was Song Moting's daughter to preserve my mother's reputation.
A timid person like me has the audacity to want to change the world."
She laughed at herself, her expression somewhat sad.
Xiao Jingheng frowned and said, "I believe that one day, you will proudly and confidently tell everyone who you are!"
Song Shiwei looked at him.
In fact, she has been blaming herself and reflecting on herself these past few days for not being able to tell her life story in front of the people. For this reason, she once doubted whether she could really change the world.
But Jamel Xiao believed in her, and she also had to believe in herself.
She nodded heavily, then took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine."
Xiao Jingheng helped her up and said, "It's getting late, let's go back."
Song Shiwei looked at her mother again, and then left with Xiao Jingheng.
When they walked away, someone came out from the forest.
The man was wearing a green brocade robe. He stood in front of the tombstone, staring at the name on it, and said in a faint voice, "Madam, you have a good daughter."
Dusk had arrived, the last ray of light sank into the sea of clouds, and a black fog enveloped the earth and Gu Yucheng.
He heard that the Xu family was going to move the grave today, and knew that Song Shiwei would definitely come, so he followed her.
There are some things he may not be able to say to Song Shiwei, but he can tell them to Xu.
"I envy her, she has the courage and determination to seek justice for you, she is fearless.
Unlike me, who has to face the murderer of my mother every day, pretending to be nice to her and asking her mother to play the role of a loving mother and son with her. "
These words had been suppressed in Gu Yucheng's heart for too long.
If he only admired and respected Song Shiwei for divorcing her husband, he was completely moved by the fact that Song Shiwei sued Song Moting in the Dali Temple to redress her mother's grievances.
A woman has such ability, so what has he, as a man, done for his mother?
His father always told him to be patient and put the overall situation first, but he had had enough of this kind of life!
Gu Yucheng took a deep breath and asked in a murmured voice: "Madam, can you tell me what I should do?"
The only answer he got was the cool breeze from the top of the mountain.
Gu Yucheng stood quietly for a while, then took three incense sticks, lit them and bowed three times. He inserted the incense in the incense burner and said, "Sorry to bother you, Madam."
After leaving these words, he turned and went down the mountain.
When he walked to the carriage, Gu Yucheng opened the curtain and saw an uninvited guest sitting inside.
