Song Mianshuang sneered and pulled the corner of her mouth, "At first, they wanted me to marry to the Eastern Palace to please the prince. At that time, they told me that with my beauty, the prince would definitely like me. Unfortunately, he didn't think highly of me later. Now I can't even be a concubine. They want to send me to the Ning Wang Mansion to be a concubine. They also said that with my beauty, the other party would definitely fall in love with me at first sight. So, father, in your eyes, am I a daughter or a beautiful gift?"

Marquis Ding'an was stunned when he heard this, as if he had never thought that his daughter, who always obeyed him, would start questioning him like Song Ningyan.

Song Mianshuang stood up and walked towards him. "Or, rather than saying that father promised me a win-win situation on the surface, that you help me become the future queen and I help you become a powerful father-in-law, it is better to say that father, you have been competing with Li Xiang all these years just to see who is better, right?"

Ding'an Hou's eyes widened. "What did you say?"

The Marquis's wife beside her was also shocked, and she pulled her sleeve to stop her, saying, "Shuang'er, stop talking nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense," Song Mianshuang said coldly, "Over the years, my father has always compared me with Li Qingqian and threatened me, saying that if I don't work hard enough, she will be the first to become the queen of the country, and then I will never be able to stand up again."

"But what about now? When she was at the peak of her career, I was tortured beyond recognition by the empty future you described for me. I became a wicked woman who could even harm my own sister. You even wanted to send me to another family as a concubine, just for your ridiculous dream of becoming the father-in-law of the emperor!"

"Snapped!"

Ding'an Hou was so angry that his body couldn't stop shaking. He used all his strength to knock Song Mianshuang to the ground, pointing at her in frustration and said, "You are really crazy. How dare you loudly question your father? Don't think I don't know what you did to An Ning in the past. Did I force you to do it?"

The marquis' wife was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward and held her daughter in her arms.

Song Mianshuang half-prone on the ground, smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Of course it wasn't my father's coercion, it was me who was so nervous that I felt that getting rid of her was the only way to remove a major obstacle. But Song Hong, even if I risk being struck by lightning today, I have to say that you are not a good person either!"

At that time, Song Ningyan followed the rules and asked for leave from Marquis Ding'an and his wife, and stopped talking about these things.

If we ignore what Song Mianshuang did in the past, Song Ningyan still feels that she dares to confront patriarchy head-on, which is also a kind of bravery in an environment like Dawei.

Marquis Ding'an was so angry that he screamed and was about to draw the sharp sword beside the table, as if he would only feel relieved if he killed Song Mianshuang.

And Song Ningyan didn't know why, but her body moved almost subconsciously. She squatted down, picked up a stone, and threw it at the sword, just in time to save Song Mianshuang who was ready to die.

Marquis Ding'an turned around and met Song Ningyan's eyes.

He couldn't make things difficult for Song Ningyan now, as she was the "miracle doctor" who had been personally appreciated by the late emperor and the prince who was about to ascend the throne, and now she also had a marriage plan with the Li family.

But he didn't want to lose face, so even though he put away his sword, he said to her in a displeased manner: "What are you doing here?"

Song Ningyan shrugged, "Didn't you forget, father? Today is the wedding day of the eldest son of the Li family and the eldest daughter of the Meng family. My daughter is related to the Li family by marriage, so after receiving the invitation, I naturally have to go to the wedding to drink."

Marquis Ding'an looked at her, then looked at Song Mianshuang lying on the ground, and ordered her to be confined to the yard and not allowed to take a single step out.

"Ah Qian, she was the one who killed Xiao Yan. I can't forgive Song Mianshuang on her behalf," Song Ningyan frowned slightly, "But why, when I saw my father trying to kill her, my first reaction was not to applaud, but to subconsciously want to save her?"

Li Qingqian thought for a moment and said, "This doesn't mean you are betraying Xiaoyan, Aning, because your body is now related to Song Mianshuang by blood. Dawei is a place where men are respected. You did this not because you feel sorry for Xiaoyan, but because you instinctively protect Song Mianshuang, who is a woman like you."

Song Ningyan came from the future, how could she not understand this?

It's just that she had such a high sense of morality towards the original Miss Song that she was really embarrassed.

After the banquet, the first thing Song Ningyan did when she returned to Ding'an Marquis Mansion was not to return to her own courtyard, but to go to Song Mianshuang's courtyard first.

"If you are here to see me laugh, leave early when you've had enough. If someone sees you, I'm afraid you'll be implicated by me."

Song Mianshuang just looked up at her, then continued to copy the scriptures with his head down while talking to her.

Song Ningyan pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "Don't think of me as such a despicable person."

She placed a bottle of medicine pills and a bag of snacks in front of Song Mianshuang. "Don't you treasure your face the most? It's so beautiful, it would be a pity to ruin it. Also, don't just focus on the beauty of being thin in the future. With your appearance, I'm afraid that a gust of wind will break your waist."

After saying that, Song Ningyan raised her foot and walked out of the house.

Song Mianshuang suddenly raised her head and said, "Don't tell me that you forgive what I did to you in the past. If that's the case, Song Ningyan, even I will look down on you."

Song Ningyan just tilted her head slightly and said, "Since I recovered from my illness, have you ever taken advantage of me?"

Song Mianshuang was silent.

"But," she added, "you must not die. You must live well, forgive and repent for the death of Song Ningyan, until you truly realize your mistake and make amends for her, then go find her."

"What do you mean?" Song Mianshuang looked at her in surprise.

She thought for a while and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell your secret?"

Song Ningyan just smiled meaninglessly, "Do you think, besides your mother, who else in this mansion would believe what you said? Remember, it wasn't me you killed, but I am indeed the second young lady of the Ding'an Marquis's Mansion. No one can find any fault with me."

Song Mianshuang didn't quite understand what she meant. Since she was not the real Song Ningyan, why was she not afraid at all?

However, looking at the door that was slowly closing, she smiled bitterly, perhaps the truth was not important to her.

After Li Xi quickly entertained the guests, he returned to the bridal chamber immediately.

Meng Yanrong didn't expect him to come back so soon. She hadn't even finished the snacks on the plate when she hurriedly covered the veil that had been lifted.

It was not until Li Xi walked up to her and gently lifted her veil that Meng Yanrong saw her husband for the second time.

Today, Li Xi was wearing a bright red wedding gown. She looked different from the day they first met. She had lost her cold aura and became gentle as jade.

He looked at her with a smile on his face, and Meng Yanrong felt her heartbeat quicken unconsciously at that moment.
