After parting with Ning Yuqin, Song Feiwan hurried to the medical clinic, calculating the timing of her poisoning. Over the past few months, she had leveraged the power of the Prince of Chen to search for medicinal herbs everywhere, but there were still two ingredients she could not find. If she could gather those herbs and create a formula, it would suppress the poison. As long as she had a steady supply of medicine, her life would not be in danger.
Determining that the poisoning would occur in the next few days, she instructed Dongzhi to send a message to the Song residence.
"What? She’s from the Sanri Men now; she’s been married for three months. What business does she have here?" Li Shi exclaimed angrily upon hearing the servant's report.
Song Shuyou, standing beside her, was equally perplexed. "Hasn’t she severed ties with us? She’s living well now; what does she want? She must have ill intentions."
Li Shi’s expression darkened. "Even so, if she insists on coming, can you stop her? Even if our whole family were tied together, we wouldn’t be able to contend with the Prince of Chen!"
Song Shuyou pouted in dissatisfaction, feeling extremely jealous. Why did Song Feiwan have such good luck? Just a few days ago, during the palace banquet, the Song family had no qualifications to attend but had heard about events that transpired within. It was said that Song Feiwan was favored by the Prince of Chen and had become the envy of all women in the capital!
These honors and glories should belong to her! How could that wretched Princess Consort still be alive and so resilient?
At this moment, Song Shuyou was unaware that her dreams of becoming a princess had been ruthlessly shattered by Song Feiwan.
Li Shi sighed and said, "In any case, if she is coming, we will receive her according to the rules. As long as we don’t say anything wrong, she can’t just execute us all, can she?"
Song Shuyou nodded. "Right, the Prince of Chen is a big target; there are countless eyes watching for his mistakes. If Song Feiwan dares to act recklessly, she will definitely suffer the consequences!"
Soon enough, the day arrived when Song Feiwan came to their door. After finishing her business at the medical clinic in the evening, she took a carriage to the Song residence. Song Taipeng awaited her at the entrance with Li Shi, Song Shuyou, and Song Mingyuan.
Seeing her dressed in a light-colored gown with a low-key appearance as she stepped down from the carriage, Song Shuyou and others thought to themselves: She doesn’t seem like someone trying to show off.
However, they were soon slapped in the face by reality.
Dongzhi stepped forward a few paces and sternly questioned, "Upon seeing the Princess Consort, why do you not kneel?"
The faces of the Song family changed simultaneously as they felt humiliated and knelt before Song Feiwan.
"Your Highness, the Princess!"
Song Feiwan responded with a faint "hm," "You may kneel; the palace is ahead."
With that, she stepped over the threshold.
Song Shuyou was nearly driven to the brink of fury! If it weren't for Li Shi holding her back, she would have retaliated.
Afterward, Song Feiwan, relying on her status as the Princess Consort, made things exceedingly difficult for them. They could kneel, but there was absolutely no chance for them to stand.
Dongzhi watched them with a mix of anger and helplessness, feeling utterly delighted inside.
Deserved it! This is what you get for bullying my lady before!
Finally, night fell, and Song Shuyou thought she had finally relented, only to be struck by another thunderbolt: "It's quite late; the palace will rest at Song Manor tonight."
The Song family looked as if they had lost their last hope, which amused Song Feiwan greatly.
Surrounded by servants, she made her way to Zhaoyang Courtyard, feeling as though she had forgotten something important today.
Inside the Prince's residence, Xiao Yu sat at the table with a composed expression. The dishes before him had all gone cold as he waited for Song Feiwan to arrive.
Zhuo Da hurried in and clasped his fists in salute, reporting, "My lord, we found out—Princess Consort has entered the palace."
Ha! Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh in anger.
It was the first time he had seen his wife enter without informing her husband.
