Chapter 351 I jumped into the river on the spot!
Ling Qian'er's expression changed slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, but she nodded, "Miss Song is right."
Gu Huan'er looked surprised. Ever since she met her cousin, her cousin had always been kind and gentle. Although she had heard that her cousin was quite fierce when she broke off the engagement, she had never seen it with her own eyes.
Hearing her cousin's words now, she finally understood her cousin's aura when she was displeased, and felt that she and His Highness Prince Chu were a perfect match!
"Cousin, aren't you afraid people will think you're being inconsiderate for speaking to Miss Ling like that?"
Seeing that everyone had left, Gu Huan'er quietly spoke, her eyes full of curiosity.
Song Ruozhen raised a slight eyebrow and teased, "Just now you were Cousin Ling, and now you're Miss Ling. What are you trying to say?"
"I only call her cousin as a formality. You are my real cousin!" Gu Huan'er said, holding Song Ruozhen's hand with an air of self-righteousness.
"It's not worth it to compromise yourself for the sake of other people's opinions, and besides, I'm not wrong."
Song Ruozhen remained calm and composed. Ling Qian'er had just spoken to her in the same way, and it was only polite to reciprocate. It wasn't a grudge; she simply didn't like being lectured by others.
Moreover, Ling Qian'er's appearance was very strange, coupled with that special luck value, she felt there was something wrong.
She had to be careful until she had a clear understanding of the situation.
Gu Huan'er looked at her with admiration, "Cousin, I feel very inspired. I want to be like you!"
Song Ruozhen: "??? What do you mean?"
“My mother told me before that the most important thing for a young lady is to be reserved and not to be too bold in her actions. My friends also said that it is not something a lady of a good family should do to approach Prince Yun in this way.
But I couldn't resist. It's so rare to meet someone I like; if I don't try, I'll definitely regret it later!
Gu Huan'er's eyes lit up, her face filled with excitement, "What I lacked was courage like yours, cousin, and now I have it too!"
Song Ruozhen: "..." Did she lead Gu Huan'er astray?
"I only said something to Ling Qian'er, it shouldn't have caused so much trouble, right?"
"No, no, no." Gu Huan'er waved her hand. "When my cousin broke off the engagement, she was so decisive. Just hearing about it made my blood boil. Compared to her, what I've done is nothing."
"I had no choice but to do it," Song Ruozhen said helplessly.
Gu Huan'er was about to speak when she suddenly heard a gasp from behind her.
"Miss Tang has fainted!"
"Help! Why did Tang Xuening suddenly faint?"
The sudden turn of events surprised many people; it was quite strange that Tang Xuening would faint on the spot in such a situation.
However, Song Ruozhen was not surprised at all when she heard this. She had reminded her before, but Tang Xuening herself did not believe it.
"Could it be that Miss Tang fainted from anger?"
Ling Qian'er knew that Tang Xuening had just been upset, but she didn't expect her to be so useless as to faint like that. However... it's not a bad thing.
"I heard that Song Ruozhen and Tang Xuening had a fight, and now she's fainted. How much anger must she have suffered?"
Everyone looked surprised. They only knew that Tang Xuening and Song Ruozhen had a grudge, but they didn't know what had just happened.
"Fifth Sister, did you and Tang Xuening have a fight just now? Are you alright?"
Hearing the commotion ahead, which pointed directly to Song Ruozhen, Song Yi'an rushed over, her eyes full of concern.
"I'm fine." Song Ruozhen shook her head. "Tang Xuening has been so angry these past few days that she must have been forced to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment and didn't get enough rest at night, so she collapsed from exhaustion."
I just warned her that she was sick, but she didn't believe me and even accused me of insulting her.
The three Song brothers: "???"
“Miss Ling, don’t just spout nonsense. My sister just reminded her that she was sick and needed to see a doctor, but neither you nor she believed her. You even called my sister vicious. Now that she has fainted, how can you blame my sister?”
Song Zhiyu was the fastest; upon hearing someone slander his younger sister, he didn't hold back at all.
Ling Qian'er was stunned, remembering that Song Ruozhen had said Tang Xuening was sick, and it turned out that she really was sick.
"I'm not lying, it's just..."
"Just what? My sister kindly reminded her, and you insisted on siding with her, saying my sister called her sick. That's really absurd!"
Song Zhiyu looked at him with disgust, as if he were looking at an idiot.
Tang Xuening's brother, Tang Hongji, was already anxious to find the imperial physician, and upon hearing Song Zhiyu's words, he became even more furious.
"What are you saying? My sister isn't well. If you really meant well, you could have just offered a word of advice, but instead you insist on saying she's sick!"
"Then tell me yourself, is she sick?" Song Zhiyu retorted. "She just fainted out of nowhere, what else could it be but sick? And you won't let me say it's sick? Who knew you were so reluctant to seek medical help? I'm being kind and now I'm being labeled mean and malicious for offering advice!"
Tang Hongji saw Song Zhiyu keep saying that he was sick, and he felt that it was like a scholar encountering a soldier, and he couldn't reason with him. He was confused by what this guy was saying!
"shut up!"
Song Zhiyu scoffed, "You think you can just shut up like that? Who do you think you are?"
"Alright, alright, even if we see you about to die in the future, we won't say a word, lest we be accused of cursing you to die. That's too fragile a mindset."
Seeing that her third brother had managed to silence Tang Hongji with just a few words, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're quite something, your silver tongue has gotten better lately!" Song Jingshen nudged Song Zhiyu with his shoulder, raised his handsome eyebrows, and looked at him with admiration.
Song Zhiyu raised an eyebrow and replied, "Of course! Anyone who dares to bully my sister, I'll kill him!"
After his initial anger subsided, Tang Hongji regained his composure and said, "Just because you say my sister is sick doesn't mean she is. I'd like to ask Miss Song, you're not a doctor, so what gives you the right to make such a judgment?"
In my opinion, it's obvious that you're deliberately bullying her!
The others also came to their senses. Song Ruozhen wasn't a doctor; how could she possibly tell if someone was sick at a glance?
Isn't this nonsense?
"Song Zhiyu, what do you have to say now? Everyone saw what happened just now, and Miss Ling is a witness!" Tang Hongji asked aggressively.
"Who said I'm not a doctor?" Song Ruozhen retorted casually.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked surprised. What did this mean?
Tang Hongji sneered, "Miss Song, you're even resorting to such lies to deny it. How could a young lady like you possibly know medicine?"
“Young Master Tang, we are not acquainted. How do you know I can’t?” Song Ruozhen retorted.
"If you really can do that, I'll jump into the river right now!"
However, Chu Junting slowly walked to Song Ruozhen's side and stood still, calmly saying, "I can testify that Ruozhen is indeed skilled in medicine."
