The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Song Zhiqing had an accident, and the new year still needs to be celebrated. Since we have to wait for him to wake up to confirm the details, we can only wait.

On New Year’s Day, the Song Family still followed the usual routine, offering new year blessings everywhere, but the male master of the third household had an accident and hasn’t woken up yet, so it’s inappropriate to go out.

If not going out, the cause of the accident needs to be explained.

Now, after celebrating the new year, apart from the younger generation and the unconscious Madam Lu, everyone is seated in Song Ci’s Chunhui Hall.

The location and reason for the accident must be investigated.

The old Master Song was also present. He saw Song Zhiqing’s condition and was furious, jumping with anger. Having such an event on New Year’s Day brings bad luck, not to mention it’s his son, so naturally, he feels distressed.

”Is someone targeting the Song Family? Is there an assassin?” The old Master Song considered the possibility, thinking this might be the reason.

Song Ci sneered, ”He himself said he went out to discuss matters with colleagues. How could it be such a coincidence that an assassin targeted him when he was out on New Year’s Eve?”

Assassin: I’m not taking the blame for this.

The old Master Song slapped the table, ”Then how could this happen, the car overturning for no reason? He couldn’t have seen a ghost, right?”

Song Ci thought that when something unusual happens, there is always a reason. Perhaps it really was something supernatural!

Song Zhicheng said, ”Father, you know how heavily it snowed last night. Third Brother had the accident outside the city, it must have been due to the slippery roads in the snowstorm, causing the car to skid and overturn.”

Madam Lu had just fainted and woke up after freshening up. She heard these words upon entering and couldn’t help raising her eyes, ”Second Uncle, are you saying Master had the accident outside the city?”

Wasn’t he supposed to be discussing matters with colleagues?

She blamed herself for losing her senses upon hearing that Song Zhiqing had an accident and hadn’t inquired about the details. Though she knew about the car overturning, she assumed it happened somewhere in the city, not outside.

Song Zhicheng fell silent, glanced at Song Zhiyuan to ask with his eyes: What should we say?

The two brothers exchanged glances discreetly, but even the rather slow-witted old Master Song noticed.

”Why are you two brothers being so secretive? Can’t you speak directly?” The old Master Song expressed dissatisfaction.

Song Zhicheng rubbed his neck, hesitating, unable to complete his sentence.

Madam Lu had a sudden uneasy feeling, sensing that there might be more to the accident.

”Second Uncle?”

Song Zhiyuan rolled his prayer beads in his hand and said calmly, ”Speak plainly.”

Song Zhicheng looked at him with a pained expression, his eyes seemed to say: We both have mouths to speak, why do I have to be the bad guy?

Song Zhiyuan: Because I am the elder brother.

”Well, Sister-in-law, actually last night, Third Brother went out of the city, probably rushing to return too quickly, causing the car to overturn. Coincidentally, someone was delivering urgent express mail from hundreds of miles away and witnessed it, thus alerted the gatekeepers to search, which is how we came to know about it.”

”Why would he go out of the city for no apparent reason? Was his statement about discussing matters with colleagues just a pretense?” Madam Lu expressed confusion.

Song Zhicheng remained silent.

Madam Lu sensed something amiss, her eyes swollen like peaches, ”Elder Uncle, Second Uncle, at this point, are you still going to hide it from me?”

”Sister-in-law, truly nothing compares to having the family intact and together, doesn’t it? Men, they have their rotten habits, but as long as they’re safe and fine, it’s not a big deal, right? So, well...”

”Third Brother has a lover outside the city, Lian Yue Madam from the Spring and Autumn Painting Boat. Last night, he went to see her because she’s pregnant, and he went to discuss matters with her.” Song Zhiyuan, tired of the drawn-out speech, coldly explained, ”On the return to the city, with the rush and slippery snowy roads, the car overturned.”

Everyone: ”...”

Madam Lu was filled with disbelief, hearing such shocking news.
