Chapter 184 Poison Oath
Chapter 184 Poison Oath
Song Yan listened to his brother's questioning words, but just looked at Song Jing innocently.
"Brother, why do you miss me so much? It's true that I admire Prince Yun, but I won't gamble my reputation on him."
"How could I have known that Miss Pei would drug the prince..."
"And... even if I'm willing, the prince might not cooperate with me? In my brother's eyes, is my sister such a shameless person?"
After saying this, Song Yan began to cry even more sadly.
Seeing this, Yin Shuang quickly stood up again to speak up for her young lady.
"Master, the young lady has already been wronged this time. How can you hurt her feelings like this again?"
"Miss, you were just being harassed by Prince Wei for a day, so you wanted to find a quiet place. Who knew... you would encounter something like this..."
"Young Master also knows that the young lady has always been cautious and cherishes her reputation. Even if she really has Prince Yun in her heart, she would not act like this..."
Song Jing looked at Song Yan, whose eyes were red from crying, and there was a struggle in his heart.
He naturally knew that his sister was most afraid of being pointed at by others.
But it would have been fine if he didn't know that his sister liked Prince Yun. It was precisely because he knew and had made that six-month appointment with her that there was no guarantee that she would not take an extreme action.
Now, he didn't know whether he was overthinking it or not.
"Sister...I'm asking you again...are you really not lying to me?"
Song Yan just stared at his brother, suddenly stretched out three fingers, and spoke with confidence.
"If you don't believe me, I can swear!"
"If I had done this intentionally, I would have lived a life of loneliness and misery, with no happy ending... I would never have received the Crown Prince's true love..."
Song Jing didn't seem to expect that Song Yan would suddenly behave like this and even make such a solemn oath. He was shocked and hurriedly spoke out to stop her.
"Okay! Why do you have to do this, sister?"
"I...believe in you..."
He knows best how his sister feels about the prince.
If what she said was not true, how could she dare to swear on the thing she cared about most.
And...it was indeed Miss Pei who drugged the prince. My sister has no friendship with Miss Pei, so how could she have predicted it?
perhaps……
He really misunderstood her...
Seeing that his brother's attitude had finally softened, Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
She had already persuaded her aunt, and judging by her aunt's expression just now, she would soon get what she wished for and marry into Prince Huai's mansion before her father returned.
At this time, she must not let her brother expose her feelings for Prince Yun.
Otherwise, Auntie might hesitate...
The longer the night, the more dreams you have.
She had waited too long and didn't want to fail again.
Song Yan thought about it and raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Thank you, brother, for believing in me."
"Although this was an accident, my brother knows my feelings for the prince. Perhaps... this is God's pity for my infatuation, and it is only through some unintended circumstances that I am fulfilled."
"So this time, I want to be selfish for once. I ask my brother not to obstruct this marriage. As for father... when he returns, I will accept any punishment he chooses..."
"There's only one thing Yan'er wants to ask, brother... When the time comes, please persuade father on my behalf not to vent his anger on Auntie..."
Although she had no choice but to take advantage of her aunt's concern for her, she did not expect her father to dislike her because of this.
Upon hearing this, Song Jing just sighed and agreed.
After Song Jing left, Song Yan looked at the door slowly closing, but the tears in her eyes did not fade away, but fell more violently.
There is the joy of finally marrying Yun Zheng.
There are also...
Guilt towards my mother and brother.
Yin Shuang looked at the young lady like this and said worriedly.
"Miss, the Second Young Master has always been soft-hearted and considers you and Auntie as his closest relatives. As long as you don't admit it, he won't reveal the matter even if he has doubts in his heart."
"Why did you swear such a vicious oath..."
Song Yan shook his head.
"Although my brother is soft-hearted, he was raised by our father himself. He has his own standards for what is right and wrong. Even if I temporarily conceal this matter out of blood ties, I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable."
"Father is old, after all. After the Autumn Imperial Examination this autumn, if brother enters the government, father will definitely pave the way for him... So from now on... brother will be the one in charge of this prime minister's mansion."
"Although I have married into Prince Huai's mansion as I wished, it is ultimately not a glorious one. If I want to win the heart of the Crown Prince in the future, the support of my family is indispensable. I cannot let him turn away from me because of this."
What's more, what King Huai was aiming for was the supreme position. Once King Huai succeeded, the crown prince... would be the ruler of the world.
Since she wants to marry him, she naturally has to be qualified to stand by his side.
As for this oath...
She never believed that there really were gods in this world. Otherwise, why were there so many injustices in this world?
Besides, there are so many people in this world who swear and make vows every day, but how many of them actually come true?
After hearing what the young lady said, Yin Shuang also understood.
"Miss is really thoughtful."
"If the prince knew how deeply the young lady loved him, he would be deeply moved."
"I believe that after the young lady marries, she will gradually replace the eldest lady in the prince's heart."
When Song Yan heard this, she frowned slightly, seeming to disagree.
"The Crown Prince married my eldest sister because of my father's status in the court and in the heart of the late emperor."
"All the kindness he showed to my eldest sister in the past was just for show to our father, hoping that my eldest sister would be completely devoted to him. He might not really have her in his heart."
"Why should I compare myself with her?"
Although she always felt sad when she saw the prince showing great concern for her elder sister, there was always a voice in her heart telling her that it was just a show.
After all, the prince has always been pretending to be another person in front of his elder sister, not his real self.
In this situation, how could he be sincere to his elder sister?
When Yinshuang heard the young lady say this, she realized that she had spoken out of turn.
"Miss, you are right. I was mistaken."
