Chapter 778 Introducing a Girl?
"Has the body been sent back to the capital?" Song Ruozhen asked.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review nodded. "I have already sent someone back to the capital and ordered an investigation into the missing persons. However, since the other party is determined to destroy the evidence, I doubt they will find anything."
"When we get back, let me see the body. Maybe I can deduce some useful clues."
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review's eyes lit up. "That would be perfect."
Seeing the happy look on the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review's face, Prince Xiao shook his head and laughed. Princess Liang had said that women should not interfere, but little did she know how much the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review hoped that Song Ruozhen would get involved.
"Tang Xuening left with Prince Liang and the others?"
Song Ruozhen looked at Prince Xiao. Tang Xuening should have been wholeheartedly following Prince Xiao, so it was surprising that she was able to shake him off so easily.
“King Liang said he was feeling unwell and went back to rest. Because Princess Liang and Miss Tang were being too noisy, they didn’t ride in the same carriage,” said King Xiao.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review added, "As for Master Qingfeng, he has been left in Mingyue Village. He will return on his own after he recovers."
Song Ruozhen subconsciously looked at Chu Junting, only to feel that the Prince of Liang really had no feelings for Qi Qingyi, otherwise he wouldn't have been so impatient.
This repeated foolishness must have disgusted even the King of Liang.
Imperial City.
Looking at the familiar streets, Song Ruozhen unconsciously smiled; it was a familiar feeling.
Although Qiyang City had beautiful scenery, it didn't feel as welcoming to her as the imperial city.
Chu Junting wanted to return to the Dali Temple first to present the matter, while she thought that there was nothing to do even if she returned to the Prince's Mansion, so she might as well go back to the Song family first.
Since my sister-in-law became pregnant, she has been in charge of taking care of her health. Although she is fine now that things have improved, she still needs to be taken care of carefully.
However, upon returning, he found his third brother clinging to his fourth brother, as if he needed something from him, which made him suspicious.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?"
Song Ruozhen sat down next to Luo Qingyin and poured her a cup of tea.
The third and fourth brothers usually tease each other when they get together, so it's quite a rare sight to see them like this.
Luo Qingyin smiled and said, "I also found this scene strange. Actually, I don't know what happened either. After asking your eldest brother, I learned that it seems that the third brother introduced a girl to the fourth brother."
"Cough...cough cough." Song Ruozhen choked on her tea. She blinked and asked incredulously, "Sister-in-law, are you serious?"
“I asked your older brother the same question when I first heard it,” Luo Qingyin couldn’t help but laugh. “Your older brother wasn’t sure either, and he checked it again and again, saying that the sun must have risen in the west.”
Song Ruozhen chuckled and turned to see Ruan Niantang walking over as well.
"Fifth Sister, you're back?"
Ruan Niantang's eyes lit up with joy, and she quickly walked over.
"I heard from your second brother that you went to Qiyang City with His Highness the Prince of Chu. Mother keeps asking when you'll come back. Is Qiyang City fun?"
Song Ruozhen smiled and nodded, then turned to Bai Zhi and Qing Teng and instructed them, "Go and fetch the gifts I brought back."
"Yes, princess."
"Qiyang City is not far from the imperial city, and many things are similar, but there are still some local specialties."
I picked out some interesting gifts; I hope my two sisters-in-law like them. There are also some local delicacies; I've had them sent to the kitchen so they can try them later.
Ruan Niantang was surprised that Song Ruozhen had bought a gift after going out, and felt embarrassed.
"Fifth sister, I'm sorry to have troubled you again."
Song Ruozhen smiled faintly, "It's not worth much money, it's just a token of my appreciation."
I saw this bracelet while shopping, and I immediately thought it would suit you and your sister-in-law. I bought two for myself, and they look very nice on my wrist.
Luo Qingyin is currently pregnant, and her second sister-in-law is now married, so it's only a matter of time before she gets pregnant as well.
She bought the bracelet partly because it was beautiful, and partly because it was believed to carry spiritual energy.
She blessed both bracelets, saying that wearing them would bring peace and safety.
Luo Qingyin looked at the yellow bracelet in front of her. The beads were exquisite and translucent. She had seen similar bracelets before, but they were all quite different from the one in front of her.
"This bracelet must be very valuable; it's unlike any I've ever seen before."
Ruan Niantang nodded, "The gift my fifth sister gave me last time was quite valuable, this bracelet..."
"We're all family, so please accept them. Otherwise, I can't possibly wear so many by myself!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingyin and Ruan Niantang exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.
The two women, as sisters-in-law, always got along very well. As daughters of prominent families, their lives in the mansion were usually glamorous on the surface, but who knows how many unsavory things happened behind the scenes.
They had thought that they would have to face these things after they got married, but they were so lucky to marry into the Song family.
The Song family had harmonious relationships, with brothers being friendly and respectful to each other, unlike the open and covert struggles of other families.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law are also very easy to get along with. My mother-in-law didn't make them stand in the rules all the time; instead, she cared about them so they wouldn't get tired.
Not to mention that her sister-in-law is such a wonderful person as the Princess Consort of Chu. Their successful marriage was inseparable from her help; they were truly blessed.
When asked by others, they often don't believe them when they tell the truth. Only the two of them understand how lucky they are to have such a result.
When Gu Ruyan learned that her daughter had returned, she immediately put down the account book in her hand and rushed over.
"Mother, I specially chose this bracelet for you. Do you like it?"
Gu Ruyan's eyes lit up with a smile as soon as she saw her daughter. Without even looking at her, she said with a smile, "I like it, I like it! I'll like anything you give me."
"Take a look, these bracelets are all ones I bought. You can keep them for yourself or give them to friends."
Song Ruozhen thought back to when Gu Ruyan mentioned that giving gifts was a real headache, because everyone was giving the same old things, and if they were too simple, it would make it seem like she wasn't putting any thought into it.
Gu Ruyan's eyes lit up as she looked at the bracelet in the brocade box. "This green bracelet is really beautiful, the blue one is also beautiful, and this purple one looks so elegant."
My daughter has such a great eye for fashion; every single one of them is so beautiful.
Ruan Niantang and Luo Qingyin, who were standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh. Their mother-in-law always praised their fifth sister-in-law whenever she saw her, but they were actually no different from their mother-in-law.
"Mother, I just heard that Third Brother is going to introduce a girl to Fourth Brother. Is that true?" Song Ruozhen asked curiously.
Gu Ruyan nodded, "You find it strange too, right? I was saying that the third brother's own marriage is still unsettled, but he's already introduced someone to Jing Shen. I don't know what he's thinking."
