Chapter 729: Chapter 729: Trapping Sister? Song Zi Explodes
Itâs not that Song Zi doesnât trust her brother, in fact, she knows very well that this brother of hers is the kind of person who never gets up early without some advantage. Now that heâs suddenly interested in his own niece, her first thought isnât being moved, but an inexplicable sense of caution.
She feels like her brother is going to screw her over.
Sure enough, her intuition was right, itâs not screwing the sister, itâs screwing the niece.
"Who did you say? Say that again?" Song Ziâs eyes were wide open, as if they might pop out, scaring her brother.
Song Zhiqing leaned back and said, "Prince Xiao accidentally saw Zhihui on the street, was struck by her beauty as if he saw a celestial being, and wants to take her as his concubine..."
"Song Zhiqing, are you even human? What kind of uncle screws over his niece like this?" Song Ziâs body trembled with anger, pointing at him: "Who are you trying to fool with this crap, what nonsense about seeing Zhihui on the street, Iâve always kept her indoors, she rarely goes out, when did he see her? Struck by her beauty as if seeing a celestial being? Pfft, Zhihuiâs looks arenât as amazing as youâre saying."
Song Zhiqing said, "During the Lantern Festival, didnât your whole family go out to see the lanterns?"
Song Zi was taken aback.
This yearâs Lantern Festival, the whole family indeed went out to see the lanterns, was it seen then?
"Prince Xiao saw Zhihui while inspecting his own lantern booth, which is why he had this idea."
Song Zi snapped back to her senses, sneering coldly: "Since he has seen her, why canât he tell that my Zhihui hasnât even reached womanhood and already thinks of making her his concubine? Ugh, an old prince wanting to eat young grass, shameless!"
Even though Song Zi is quite a savvy social butterfly in everyday life, when it comes to her own daughter, she can turn into a tigress, ready to bite any who infringe.
Song Zhiqing could only shed a sympathetic tear for Prince Xiao, arguing, "Prince Xiao is only twenty this year, how is he the old cow you say he is? Besides, if you spread such words, arenât you afraid of getting beaten to death?"
"Itâs just the two of us here, whoâs going to spread it? Those gossip mongers outside dare to spread it, and Iâll get Sister-in-Law to sell them all off!" Song Zi exploded: "How is he not old at twenty, my Zhihui is just thirteen, sheâs still two years away from reaching womanhood."
"Itâs not like they need to bring her into the house right now, canât they wait until she reaches womanhood?"
"That would be even more unacceptable, in two years, heâll be even older."
Song Zhiqingâs face darkened: "A bit older, more capable of cherishing someone."
"Oh, itâs easy for you to talk like this since it doesnât hurt you, why donât you think about sending Weiâer, your own daughter, to be his concubine? Wouldnât that be an even bigger age difference, more capable of cherishing? Oh, believe me, Sister-in-Law wouldnât lose her mind like you, if you dared touch Weiâer, sheâd probably take a knife and cut first ask questions later. Not to worry, Third Brother, donât you have another daughter, whatâs her name again?"
Song Zi thought for a moment and said, "Itâs Shuangâer, I heard she looks just like her mother, so sheâll certainly be a beauty when she grows up. Raise her well now, and by then sheâll be someoneâs apple of the eye."
Venomous, those words are so venomous!
Song Zhiqing slammed the table, shouting angrily: "Song Zi, is this how you talk to your own brother? And besides, Shuangâer is also your niece."
"Yelling louder than me?" Song Zi shrieked angrily: "If it werenât for the fact that you are my brother, I wouldâve slapped you ages ago. Some uncle you are, throwing your niece to the wolves just to cozy up to the Royal Family."
"Is that just any concubine? Thatâs Prince Xiaoâs concubine."
"A concubine is still a concubine, a side concubine is still a concubine!" Song Zi sneered, glancing slyly at the moon-white corner of the coat at the door: "My daughter Song Zi, a legitimate daughter of an Official family, is not like some people with the ability to play a concubine."
