Song Zaishui patted her with a round silk fan, "Stay out of it! Can't I deal with my sister-in-law? How to bother to involve you in? And if you go to beat her, won't you make me shame? The outsiders have already gossiped about me. Wanwan, the Miss of the Deng family, told me in secret that now everyone in the capital feels regretful for me! I feel so depressed when I think about it. Why do you interfere?"

She added, "She always edges me, and I can't take over. But the first sister-in-law doesn't believe her. Recently, she has meddled in everything, but most people tend to ignore her. A concubine of the second brother, one of the well-behaved girls that the first sister-in-law had bought, fell into the water in the garden. Yesterday, she complained to the second brother tearfully, saying that Duanmu Wuse wanted to eat the water chestnuts and forced her to pick them up. Now the water chestnuts haven't come out, but Duanmu Wuse compelled her to do so. She had to paddle the tub into the pool and finally turned over. Fortunately, she can swim and go ashore by herself. She screamed that Duanmu Wuse tried to kill her yesterday."

Wei Changying nodded and said, "Hearing what you have said, I think it's Duanmu Wuse's idea."

"How messy it is! I don't want to worry about it." Song Zaishui blew towards the round silk fan and said carelessly without raising her eyes, "Duanmu Wuse once said that I was not suitable for the housekeeper, so I retorted by saying to the second brother, 'The second sister-in-law can't handle with the affairs in the backyard when taking over the house, so it would be better to free her from this duty; otherwise, there will be some death. Although she is only a concubine, she was bought by the first sister-in-law, which is also our father's good intention.' So the second brother forbade Duanmu Wuse to leave the yard or to intervene in anything. If anything wrong happened, it would be her fault. Today, she came out to welcome you, thinking that if she could talk with you until the second brother came back in the afternoon, he would not scold her in front of you, and she could escape her punishment."

"No wonder that you don't want her to follow," said Wei Changying, "As you have said, how come there is no good person in Duanmu's Family?"

Hearing her words, Song Zaishui suddenly refreshed, sat upright, and proudly said, "Have you been tortured by Duanmu Yanyu? Tell me, and I will give you an idea! Duanmu Wuse is so stupid that I’m embarrassed to deal with her. I’d like to know how your second sister-in-law is better than her cousin?”

Looking at Song Zaishui, who was in high spirits, Wei Changying sighed, "Although you are not as pitiful as the rumors, I think you are not very happy. But it turns out that your life is more pleasant than when I was unmarried. You are almost the same as my Granny He, hoping to have some disputes so that you can show yourself?"

Song Zaishui sighed, "I have to. You see, I'm living pleasantly, but it's not convenient to go out often! Last time you had the wedding ceremony, I struggled to go out with a contained hat to see you."

When it came to that, Wei Changying suddenly reacted and asked carefully, "Cousin, you don't take your curtained hat off by now, so what's about your wound?"

"Look at me!" Song Zaishui clapped her hands and said, "I wore it when I left the yard, and I forgot to take it off when I came back." She took off her curated hat. Wei Changying looked at it carefully and saw that on Song Zaishui's left forehead, a pink scar about the size of two inches wound like a snake straight into the temple.

Wei Changying was shocked slightly and said, "Why is it so dangerous? This wound would hurt your eye if it slanted more!"

Song Zaishui said with a smile, "But it didn't."

Seeing her being so careless, Wei Changying sighed, reached out, and touched her gently near the wound, saying, "How about the hurt now?"

"I don't have any pain anymore," Song Zaishui lowered and let her take a closer look, whispering proudly, "Even if it hurt, it would be worthy, wouldn't it?"

"I do not think it is worthy." Wei Changying bit her lips slightly. She didn't hate the Crown Prince before, but because of Song Zaishui, although she hadn't seen this Highness, she had already disliked him, thinking that Song Zaishui paid a high cost to refuse to marry the Crown Prince by damaging her appearance.

Thinking about it for a moment, Wei Changying measured the length of the wound and suggested, "According to the shape of this wound, it could be tattooed with a rose or a trumpet flower as a cover."

"How to bother to have such trouble?" Song Zaishui sneered, "To endure the pain of needle sticks in order to get a compliment? Why? I can't marry someone whose family could match mine, and someone will marry me mostly because of my identity and dowry. Given that, what does it matter if I look worse or better?"

Wei Changying felt sour and said, "I don’t think so. Cousin, you were born beautiful, and you are not ugly with a wound here. Besides, you are the only lineal daughter of the uncle, and he must carefully plan for you."

"You don't know. His Majesty now thinks I am ominous. Whose young master is willing to marry an unlucky person?" Song Zaishui fanned with the round silk fan and said carelessly, "I said that I wanted to go back to Jiangnan. I really meant it. My current embarrassing status is too restrictive in the capital. I might as well go back to Jiangnan to be at ease. And I’ve been in Jiangnan for many years, so I am more suitable for the customs there.”

She took the fan and flicked it on Wei Changying's shoulder, saying, "If it hadn’t been for waiting for you, I actually would have wanted to leave the other day because of the winter in the capital," She shook her head and sighed, "It's so cold!"

Wei Changying was surprised, asking, "Isn't there a fire?"

"If you stay in the house all day, won't you be bored?" Song Zaishui said, "If you don't go out with heavy clothes like Snowball, you will be frozen to death."

Mentioning the Snowball, Wei Changying couldn't help laughing and said, "You have eight tanks of fish and ten parrots. What do you have to do to raise this lion cat? Since you have raised it, why don't you watch it carefully? Your people are not careful today, but I think the lion cat has been used to eat the fish and the parrot."

Song Zaishui said sorrowfully, "In fact, there were twenty parrots: two were dead, some were eaten by the cat, and there are only ten now. Then, there will be only nine."

She added, "I was cheated by it too. I thought it was cute because of its white and fat appearance, so I raised it. At first, I was afraid that it would steal to eat, so I took it to the fish tank and parrot shelf. It just lay still in my arms, and I thought it was obedient! It doesn’t lack food, why does it love to steal?"

"Lion cats are not humans; how could they be obedient?" Wei Changying laughed and said, "But this cat is really smart. It pretended to be trustworthy, and then it acted when you were reluctant to drive it away."

"Yes!" Song Zaishui said in angry, "So if you fancy anything, just take it, in case it would be destroyed by the cat!"

Wei Changying pretended to be angry, "Well! I think you love me, so you want to send me fish and parrots. But the fact is that you can't control the Snowball and want to find a place for them to take refuge!"

Song Zaishui found that she just told the truth, so she smiled obsequiously and said, "My good cousin, I'm telling a joke! Of course, I love you!"

After playing for a while, Song Zaishui said seriously, "I am living with my family. My father and my brothers love me; my first sister-in-law is reasonable; my second sister-in-law is stupid, but it's easy to deal with her. But I worry about you. It’s been a month since you married here. How about your sisters-in-law? If you have any difficulty, just talk with me, and I’ll give you an idea.”

"Do you think I'm incompetent?" Wei Changying sneered at her and said, "I just saw my father-in-law on the day when I served tea to him. As for my mother-in-law, although she is careful with the rules, she treats me well. I went back from the Su family last night and told her that I wanted to see you, and she allowed immediately. As for the sisters-in-law... This morning, my mother-in-law told me to leave for a few days to visit friends and relatives, and then I should handle family affairs. Given that, the sisters-in-law are unhappy. Especially the first sister-in-law, she is the lineal first daughter-in-law!"

Song Zaishui groaned, "Lineal first daughter-in-law! So what! The former two Crown Princesses were better than the lineal first daughter-in-law of Shen Family, but one of them committed suicide after the death of her husband, and the other became a widow! How could the two tell the injustice out? Since it’s your mother-in-law’s appointment, and the Shen family values your husband, you should not be humble, but to shoulder the responsibility seriously, lest you disappoint your mother-in-law. Then, she would find another two capable helpers in the rear courtyard. At that time, it will be too late to cry."

Wei Changying slapped her slightly and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? Am I such a stupid person?"

"What means did your first sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law use? Tell me, and I will analyze it with you," Song Zaishui tried to recommend herself, "I learned from your maternal grandmother when I was young. I will surely help you eliminate future problems!"

"Cousin, you..." Wei Changying was speechless, "You are too bored!" she said with her head shaking, "Now I'm just married, what can they do except for the hurtful sentences? My mother-in-law values me because of my husband, and now there is only one sister-in-law in the house. Although she is lively and stubborn, she is not bad. Yaoye is also... Nothing really bothers me now."

Speaking of that, she pondered, "Ah, there is one thing that I don't know what it means."

Song Zaishui became high in spirits and said, "Say it! What is it?"

She was a little excited, "I will see who dares to bully my cousin!"

"What!" Wei Changying gave her a supercilious look and said, "On the day when Yaoye entered the palace and thanked His Majesty, he brought back a message. He met Honored Consort Deng, who said that she wanted to see me. A few days later was Princess Linchuan's birthday, and she invited me to go to the palace. What does it mean?"

Song Zaishui said in surprise, "Honored Consort Deng? The imperial concubine Mao, Princess Linchuan’s birth mother, has passed away. Since then, her Royal Highness has been raised by the Empress. You should go to the palace to congratulate her birthday. But it’s strange that Honored Consort Deng deliberately told you that."

"Yes!" Wei Changying suspiciously said, "Considering the previous things..." Since it was inconvenient to mention Wei, Song, and Deng's joint break of the engagement, she said it vaguely, "The Honored Consort should greet you, not me!"

"You're stupid," Song Zaishui patted her and said in a smile, "How will Honored Consort greet me? She proposed to take back the Royal Ruyi Jade from me!"

Wei Changying yelled and said, "I almost forgot." Secretly, Honored Consort Deng and Song Zaishui each took what they needed and were allies. Actually, Honored Consort fought with the Empress and managed to destroy Song Zaishui's marriage to the Royalty. So there was a feud between the Song Family and the Honored Consort! If Honored Consort Deng had paid attention to Song Zaishui, everyone would have thought that she wanted to kill Song Zaishui!

Then she asked, "So what do you think it means?"

Song Zaishui thought about it for a while and said, "Is it related to the siblings Deng Zongqi and Deng Wanwan?"
