Chapter 856 You're the One Who's Bane of Children
In an instant, both Prince Gong and General Zhao turned their heads and noticed their presence.
Song Lin was slightly embarrassed and explained, "We just happened to be passing by, so we stayed to take a look."
When Prince Gong and Princess Gong met the Song family, they showed polite smiles.
Actually, their original intention was to take this opportunity to clarify things, so that there wouldn't be any misunderstandings after their daughter married into the Song family.
"You deliberately caused such a scene today, wasn't it all for the sake of your children's marriage?"
"I never expected you to be so ruthless, forcing Lao Zhao and me to divorce for your own benefit. Don't you have any conscience?" Guan Yan said angrily.
She's already quite old. If she divorces him at this time, even if the Zhao family's fortune is all handed over to him, people will still laugh at her!
"Is your Song family so desperate for a daughter-in-law that you have to compete with us for her? Does your son have some kind of hidden illness?"
Gu Ruyan was initially a little embarrassed, but when Guan Yan immediately mentioned that her son had a hidden illness, her expression turned cold as a mother.
"Madam Zhao, I have no grudge against you. The marriage between our children is simply a matter of fate."
I have never seriously injured you, yet you open your mouth and slander my child. You're the one who has no conscience!
"If your son doesn't have a hidden illness, why would he marry her?"
Guan Yan said confidently, "The other three sons of your Song family are all very famous in the capital, but the third son of the Song family has never made any moves."
I've heard you've always been very concerned about your child's marriage. If it weren't for your hidden illness, there are plenty of suitable girls in the capital. Why insist on choosing one with a reputation for bringing bad luck to husbands?
Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly. She had previously thought that Madam Zhao was being unreasonable, but now she felt that she was really mean-spirited.
“Madam Zhao, Miss Chu is not a woman who brings misfortune to her husband. I have already calculated her fate; she is destined to have many children and much happiness. I hope you will not speak nonsense.”
As for my third brother, he is of good character and in excellent health. I hope Madam Zhao will refrain from spreading rumors without evidence.
As she spoke, Song Ruozhen feigned surprise, "I almost forgot that Madam Zhao's specialty is spreading rumors. She doesn't need any evidence at all; she just makes things up on the spot."
"As you all have seen, my third brother is a royal bodyguard with superb martial arts skills, but this Madam Zhao has never even met my third brother, yet she has started to slander him. It is clear that everything she has said about Miss Chu over the years has been a complete fabrication!"
How credible can a woman who spouts nonsense be?
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded.
They also felt that Madam Zhao spoke without thinking, and would accuse anyone she disliked of a crime.
Looking back now, Chu Qingli's growing reputation was probably all just Zhao's nonsense.
"Madam Zhao used to have a good reputation in the capital, so why is she acting like a madwoman now?"
"General Zhao has no other women outside. It is said that he has been staying at General Li's residence recently."
The fact that General Zhao is divorcing now shows that he has no other choice, but for her to immediately accuse him of having another woman outside, who wouldn't feel heartbroken in that situation?
"I heard that General Zhao had taken his wife out for a stroll to help her recover from the grief of losing her son, but she did nothing to benefit him and was instead scolded."
Now that his son is completely on his side, I just feel sorry for General Zhao.
Everyone shook their heads, increasingly convinced that the news they had heard before was not worth believing.
When Madam Zhao looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared before her, she recognized her as Princess Song Ruozhen of Chu.
She just hadn't expected Song Ruozhen to speak so sharply, making everyone believe her.
"A fortune teller once said during the engagement that she was destined to bring misfortune to her husband, so why do you say she isn't?" Guan Yan said angrily.
"With my abilities, the entire capital city should know about me by now."
Song Ruozhen said calmly, "If you don't believe me, wait until my third brother marries Miss Chu and see if they have many children and are blessed with good fortune."
On the contrary, I had my fortune told for you.
Song Ruozhen paused, and seeing that Guan Yan's attention was completely captured, she coldly spoke:
"You are destined to bring misfortune to your children and grandchildren."
As Song Ruozhen finished speaking, everyone present widened their eyes in unison.
This is even more shocking than hearing about Chu Qingli Kefu.
"Heavens! If Madam Zhao has such a fate, doesn't that mean that General Zhao's death wasn't caused by Miss Chu, but rather by her?"
"Didn't General Zhao just say that the reason why Young General Zhao was greedy for merit and recklessly advanced to his death was because of what Madam Zhao said? Doesn't that make sense?"
"Hearing Princess Chu say those words, I felt goosebumps all over my body. If that were true, it would be terrifying!"
Guan Yan seemed to have been hit where it hurt. "Princess Consort of Chu, in order to clear Chu Qing of any connection, you actually spread rumors and slandered me. You are truly vicious!"
Zhao Zilei also angrily said, "How could my mother have such a fate? Even if you are the Princess Consort of Chu, you can't be so vicious. Are you trying to force my mother to her death?"
He knew all too well how heartbroken his mother had been since his brother's death, and the Princess Consort's words were practically forcing her to die!
Gu Ruyan also pulled Song Ruozhen with some concern, "Zhen'er, if this isn't true..."
Song Ruozhen raised her hand to reassure her mother, "Since I said that, I naturally have evidence."
The next moment, she looked at Zhao Zilei and said, "If you stay with your father now, you will be safe and sound."
But if you insist on staying with your mother, it won't be long before you realize I'm telling the truth.
Everyone's eyes widened instantly, and they looked at each other in disbelief.
Does this mean that if Zhao Zilei doesn't leave Guan Yan, he will follow in his older brother's footsteps?
Will Zhao Zilei die too?
General Zhao's expression changed. Guan Yan and Zhao Zilei didn't believe in Song Ruozhen's abilities, but he had no doubts at all.
"Princess Consort of Chu, is it really that serious? Is there any way to change this?"
He has already lost one son; he cannot afford to lose another.
“As long as he stays with you, nothing will happen,” Song Ruozhen said frankly.
General Zhao looked at Zhao Zilei with a serious expression. "Did you hear that? This time, no matter what, you have to come with me!"
Zhao Zilei shoved General Zhao aside, "Only you would believe such nonsense!"
Can't you see it? They are all maliciously slandering Mother, trying to leave her with nothing in the end!
"Truly, a woman's heart is the most poisonous; she'll stop at nothing to achieve her goals—it's utterly disgusting!"
Song Ruozhen scoffed, "I'll say the same thing to you."
The next moment, she waved her hand lazily: "What does it have to do with me whether you live or die?"
Even if you die in front of me, I won't blink an eye, believe it or not.
Aside from your father, who among us here would care?
