Chapter 163 The First Princess 16
Upon entering the house, one could see the sisters Feng Yunyao and Feng Yunqian inside.
"Mother!"
Feng Qingyou smiled and bowed to Madam Song before standing to one side.
"Qingyou, I'm here to see you today..."
Song didn't know what to say.
She had no feelings for this stepdaughter; she only got along with her out of politeness.
That time, she secretly met with a man in the temple, and I punished her slightly.
The old ancestor of the family made him serve in the main room for a few days, secretly tormenting him.
In short, how you treat her is how your ancestors will treat you.
Song gritted her teeth. Although she didn't want to ask, she couldn't help but ask about Yun Yao.
"Qingyou...did you accidentally bump into Yunyao on the bridge yesterday?"
Song asked in what she believed to be a tone that wouldn't hurt anyone.
"what?"
Qingyou asked in surprise, seemingly not expecting Song to ask such a question.
She then looked at Feng Yunyao and asked, "Second sister, did I bump into you?"
"If I pushed you, why should I jump down to save you?"
Feng Qingyou looked heartbroken, as if she was deeply distressed by how she was being viewed.
“Big sister…you were afraid of being punished, so you used a self-inflicted injury trick and jumped down yourself. Plum Blossom saw it all clearly.”
Feng Yunyao's almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, and her expression became even more sorrowful as she looked at Feng Qingyou's rebuttal.
“Mother, I didn’t push my second sister… Yesterday, my second sister asked me to go with her to change her clothes. She broke the dressing mirror and pushed it on Xiao Shuang. I said a few words to her, and she ran outside happily… She ran all the way to the bridge. I chased her to the bridge, and she suddenly turned around, as if she was going to pounce on me… I dodged, and she fell into the water herself… I saw her calling for help, and I jumped in anxiously. Mother, you know, my second sister is usually good to us, and I couldn’t bear to watch her fall into the water without saving her, even though I can’t swim.”
A hint of disappointment flashed in Feng Qingyou's eyes, but she still recounted the whole story in detail.
Song had already heard Meihua talk about it yesterday, and with two different versions, she didn't know how to tell them apart for a while.
However, since Feng Yunyao is her daughter, she will definitely show some favoritism.
“Yesterday I interrogated Meihua, and she said that the dressing mirror was not broken by Yunyao, but by Xiaoshuang.”
As Song frowned, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes. How could she trust a maidservant instead of her own sister?
Feng Yunqian sat to one side, slightly raised her head, and glanced helplessly at Madam Song.
She opened her mouth, looked at Feng Yunyao whose eyes were red from crying, but did not speak.
Feng Qingyou also noticed her series of expressions.
Feng Yunqian probably realized something too. Although the two of them often talked about books during this time, she naturally still favored her younger sister when it came to matters of the heart.
Feng Qingyou naturally didn't care; she had never taken her to heart.
So it doesn't really matter if she doesn't help me at this time.
"Mother, does Xiao Shuang have any grudge against my second sister?"
Feng Qingyou asked.
"Of course there is none."
A hint of doubt flashed in Song's eyes, but she still shook her head and said no.
"If Xiao Shuang broke that imperial dressing mirror, that would be a capital offense! She's been serving Sister Ye since she was a child. If Sister Ye couldn't bear to part with it, she would definitely ask for a favor for her. So why is she dragging Second Sister into this? Besides, they have no grudge against each other."
