Chapter 842 Living Selfishly 1 Point
Looking at her older sister's expression, Chu Yingmeng felt increasingly worried.
"Sister, don't worry. This matter is still unclear, but there will definitely be a way to resolve it. Besides, I don't think Young Master Song will give up because of this."
"Honestly, I think you're just too conscientious. You're always thinking about your father and mother, and about us siblings, which is why you're always so preoccupied."
Think about it, even the Queen Consort of Chu said you weren't destined to bring misfortune to your husbands, so General Zhao's death had nothing to do with you. It wasn't you who implicated him, but rather he who harmed you!
Chu Yingmeng grew angrier the more she thought about it. "You've been pretty since you were little. Even though we're sisters, I've always been jealous that you're prettier than me."
Chu Qingli couldn't help but chuckle, "Didn't you deny it before?"
"Well, I have to save face, you know. If I hadn't seen you like this, I wouldn't have admitted it."
Chu Yingmeng looked smug. She had finally figured it out: sometimes you have to be a little selfish to live a good life.
Chu Yingmeng looked at her younger sister and her heart softened. "Actually, I understand many things, but if it weren't for me, Father and Mother wouldn't be so troubled by this matter."
My eldest sister was happy when she got married, but because of me, she is not living a peaceful life now, and you are even worse off.
Logically speaking, your marriage should have been arranged long ago.
If everyone in her family resented her because of this, she might not care about anything, but everyone in her family felt sorry for her.
The elder brother was alright and wasn't affected by it, but the sisters' marriages were all affected. And every time the eldest sister came back, she was the one who cared the most.
She asked her older sister how she was doing, and her sister always said she was doing well, even though she had already found out that her sister was not doing well at all.
"I've figured it out a long time ago. There's no point in getting married. It's great if you meet someone you like, but what's the point of getting married if you don't?"
"Serving my husband and in-laws all day long, how can it compare to staying in the mansion, being waited on by servants and maids?"
Chu Yingmeng said matter-of-factly, “Think about it carefully. Father is a prince after all. As long as he doesn’t commit any crimes, he can’t be too bad.”
As for the rest of us, you don't need to worry about us. Just be happy with yourself.
"If Young Master Song really cares about this matter, then it proves that he is not a good match and is just like those guys you met before."
If Young Master Song doesn't care and is willing to take any risks to be with you, then you absolutely cannot back down, otherwise wouldn't you be betraying his sincere heart?
Chu Yingmeng felt that what she said made perfect sense. "You can't give up your happiness and betray Young Master Song's sincerity for those unimportant people!"
How did you come up with these ideas?
Chu Qingli looked at Chu Yingmeng in surprise. She had always thought her younger sister was loud and boisterous, but what she said now made her feel that her sister seemed to be exceptionally insightful.
"After what has happened to you in the past two years, I have long understood. In fact, I know you understand it in your heart, but you have too strong a moral sense and can't get over that hurdle in your heart."
Chu Qingli suddenly realized that her younger sister really understood her too well. She understood the reasoning, but seeing what had really happened, she found it hard to convince herself not to feel guilty.
Just then, a messenger came from outside the door.
"Miss, Young Master Song has arrived."
The moment Chu Qingli heard that Song Zhiyu had arrived, her pretty face changed slightly. "Why is he here?"
Mingming had specifically sent someone to deliver a message, saying that she was worried it would complicate matters further, so she didn't come in person.
Chu Yingmeng's eyes lit up. "I knew I hadn't misjudged him. My future brother-in-law is really reliable. Quick, quick, invite him in."
As soon as Song Zhiyu entered the room, he noticed Chu Qingli's slightly reddened eyes and couldn't help but feel heartache.
"Qingli, don't worry, we've already figured out a way to resolve this matter, and it will be settled soon."
Don't listen to anything, don't think about anything, just leave the rest to us.
Chu Qingli was surprised, "The current situation is so troublesome, and it has already spread throughout the capital in such a short time. What do you plan to do?"
"Don't worry about that. We'll handle it. We'll find the culprit behind this and give you justice."
Song Zhiyu looked at Chu Qingli with serious eyes, "Believe me, no matter what, I will definitely marry you."
Meeting the man's earnest and determined gaze, Chu Qingli felt all the wavering thoughts in her heart vanish in that instant. She wanted to abandon everything and only trust the person in front of her.
Perhaps, she really could do as her sister said, ignore everything and just live according to her own heart!
"I believe you."
Chu Yingmeng smiled like an aunt as she watched this scene. Thanks to her future brother-in-law, she believed that there were still people in this world worth trusting.
Prince Gong and his wife were also worried about the rumors circulating outside. In just half a day, Prince Gong had already been scolded by his wife.
He didn't dare to say a word at this moment, and just listened to his wife's scolding. In fact, he was already extremely regretful.
"It was indeed all my fault; I have wronged Qingli."
I clearly spoke with Qiu Xingxue yesterday, and he readily agreed, promising not to tell anyone, but somehow the news still got out.
"Could it be that the kid is just paying lip service, agreeing to your request on the surface but not actually doing it?"
Prince Gong shook his head. "No, that kid doesn't have that kind of guts. Besides, Lao Hu knows about this. Although Lao Hu also gave me a lecture, he promised Qiu Xingxue that he would promote him in the future."
The compensation has been given; whether out of consideration for me or for Lao Hu, he wouldn't do something so foolish again.
If he were truly such a brainless idiot, he wouldn't have even considered making the other person his son-in-law.
Just as the two were hesitating, they heard that Song Zhiyu had arrived, and Jia Yueying immediately glared anxiously at Prince Gong.
"If such a good marriage is ruined because of you, I will never let you off the hook!"
Prince Gong's heart sank. In fact, he was also worried that the Song family would give up because of this, since the Song family had no need to get involved in such a storm in the first place.
It's just a marriage arrangement; there are plenty of people willing to marry them, and they could easily find another marriage partner.
After all, given the Song family's current status, and with the King of Chu also present, they are not worried about offending them.
However, they heard Song Zhiyu's words when they reached the door.
