Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 350 I am responsible for her! (2)
It was obvious that he had bad intentions when he said such a thing.

In normal times, Song Chuxi would definitely not give up with him, but arguing in front of the emperor would only make the matter even more out of hand.

Song Chuxi's eyes froze slightly, and she looked at Song Yaqing coldly.

Since the emperor threw the bait out, he simply rubbed the wine glass in his hand and said nothing.

Song Yaqing then turned to Duanmuqi, cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch Duanmu, you and that girl Chu Qi are married with your fingertips. Although Chu Qi has been suffering from a serious illness these past few years, she has been unable to marry you, but your Duanmu family has always adhered to The promise is waiting for her. My Song family is very grateful for this kindness. It's just that the doctor said that Chu Qi's body is unlikely to recover. It's really not good for us to drag you with the cheek. You For her sake, delaying for so many years is already the best of humanity. Since His Majesty opened the mouth today, then I, the uncle, will make the decision for that girl Chu Qi and break off the engagement for you, so that your marriage will not be delayed any longer. "

His attitude is sincere, and it can be said that he understands righteousness.

"Yeah, I've waited for her for four full years, and I think I've done my best." Duanmuqi smiled slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up in an inappropriate arc. Accepted.

Can this person's face be thicker?

Nine out of ten of the people present were embarrassed when they saw him talking and laughing at Yanyan.

"Since this is the case—" Now that he let go, Song Yaqing was relieved instead.

Song Chuxi suddenly sneered, and said coolly: "Uncle, although there is nothing wrong with you being the elder of my sister and I, our parents died young, and it is understandable that you are in charge of everything, but you seem to have forgotten, My aunt is still here today. Sister, whether she should call off the marriage with Patriarch Duanmu or not, seems—"

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the Empress Dowager Song who was beside her.

Song Yaqing followed her gaze, but her heart suddenly tightened.

"Empress Dowager—" The so-called bow did not turn back, Song Yaqing could only continue to bite the bullet and said, "It's not that I don't feel sorry for that girl Chu Qi, it's just that her illness has delayed Patriarch Duanmu for several years. We are really ashamed.”

At Duanmuqi's age, he really couldn't wait any longer. It was time to marry a wife and have children, so as to continue the cigarettes for the family.Even the Empress Dowager Song couldn't rely on her status and use her sick niece to consume others like this.

So when Song Yaqing said this, he was actually forcing her.

"Speaking of which, Kier from the Duanmu family, it is indeed Qi'er who is sorry for you in this matter." The Empress Dowager Song finally spoke, "Since the conversation has reached this point, the Ai family did not delay any further. Your reasoning, since you and the third child both said so, then the previous marriage between you and Qi'er is over, and from now on, marriages between men and women have nothing to do with each other!"

As long as Duanmuqi no longer has the marriage that was arranged before, then if the emperor wants to grant a marriage again, he will have no excuse to shirk.

Being able to exert pressure in public, forcing the Empress Dowager Song to ban the marriage, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since that's the case——" the emperor said again indifferently, but he heard two voices at the same time, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and it was Duanmuqi who spoke at the same time as him.

Because he was going to come over to toast, Duanmuqi happened to be right in front of the emperor's seat at this time.

He stood tall, playing with a cup in his hand, and said in a loose and brisk tone: "The Duanmu family and the Song family are family friends, and the marriage between Miss Song and I was originally arranged by my grandfather and the old head of the Song family." , she is suffering from a serious illness, I was not in a hurry at first, but third master, now that your Song family has taken the initiative to terminate the engagement, I am not prepared at all. You know, if Miss Song hadn't had that accident , then we should have gotten married as early as four years ago, and now your Song family has delayed me for more than four years, once the engagement is broken, how are you going to make it up to me?"

Song Yaqing was taken aback by his pressing question.

"This is easy!" The emperor smiled loudly and smoothed things over: "The Song family has lost a daughter-in-law to you. Now I will do a favor and give you another one to make up for it. Huainan—"

As he said that, he was about to call Huainan Princess to come forward.

Princess Huainan has always been a little confused and didn't react. Just because the emperor is discussing her marriage now, she blushes pretty, looks shy, and pulls Princess Nankang's sleeve, Stuck not knowing what to do.

She is ignorant of worldly affairs, but Princess Nankang is very clear about the emperor's thoughts. He is clearly using his own daughter as a sacrifice to push it out.

"Your Majesty!" Duanmuqi interrupted the emperor's words again, and said in a loose and teasing tone: "Since the Song family owes my daughter-in-law, how can you let people from your royal family take care of this shortcoming? To pay it—— The Song family should give me one back."

He just agreed to dissolve the engagement so happily, so he was waiting here!
The emperor was furious in his heart, and this time he couldn't control the expression on his face, and it became a little colder.

Duanmuqi saw it, but pretended he didn't see it. He still smiled at Yanyan's sideways eyes and raised an eyebrow at Song Yaqing, "Back then Miss Song suddenly became seriously ill. How did you promise me, Third Master? You didn't mean to pat your chest to assure me. Will you give me a satisfactory explanation for the marriage? Even to show your sincerity, you sent Chu'er to Hengwu Garden, and promised me that you would definitely send Miss Song here and exchange her back. Back then you I am very grateful for this sincerity.”

Even if Song Chuqi suddenly got some serious illness, the fact that the Song family sent Song Chuxi to Duanmu's house back then made people speculate and discuss a lot behind their backs.Even if they explained to the outside world that the Song family sent Song Chuxi over to show their sincerity for this marriage, just to express their determination, but this approach is a bit extreme.

not to mention--

Now there are more rumors spreading between Duanmuqi and Song Chuxi.

Regarding the whole story of the agreement he reached with Duanmuqi back then, Song Yaqing had no way to make it public. He couldn't just tell everyone that he was forced by Duanmuqi, who was still a boy, to send his niece and daughter out to eliminate the disaster. right?
