Chapter 267: Chapter 267: She Won’t Cry Until She Sees the Coffin

Qi Yu had long spotted Song Ting’s figure as soon as he entered the residence, causing a ruckus.

Fortunately, having learned from previous lessons, she dared not meddle with her own flowers and herbs, and Qi Yu decided to leave it be.

At that moment, she was leading Qi Mu and Qi Xuan across the bridge when they saw an irate Song Ting pointing at the two children next to her, asking discontentedly, "Where did they come from?"

Qi Yu simply explained a few words and then advised, "They are several years younger than you, and from now on, you’ll be their older brother. You must not bully them."

"When have I ever bullied them?" Song Ting was already feeling a hint of crisis because the Prince Residence had taken in two more children, and hearing this, he felt even more dissatisfied.

Clearly, he had been the youngest child, but now he was expected to give up that position.

What if his cousins stopped loving him in the future?

Thinking of this scenario, he glared fiercely at the two little ones.

Qi Mu and Qi Xuan were already somewhat shy; frightened by his fierce glare, they squeezed Qi Yu’s hand tighter, afraid they were going to be abandoned.

Qi Yu shook her head and smiled at them, "Don’t be scared; he is Brother Song Ting."

Qi Mu hid behind her, not speaking.

This brother seemed scary; he didn’t want him.

Qi Xuan, being braver, let go of Qi Yu’s hand and wobbled over to Song Ting, reaching out his little hand and calling, "Brother Song Ting."

Song Ting moved his lips, wanting to say he was not his brother.

But he stole another glance at this chubby little bundle and found him quite adorable.

Seeing that Song Ting no longer scared him, Qi Xuan dared to step forward and grab his hand, softly saying, "Brother, let’s go have a meal together."

Song Ting turned his head and snorted, but he did not let go of his hand.

Qi Yu was speechless for a while.

So young and yet so tsundere; she wondered if he had learned it from his cousin.

The group soon arrived at the Tinglan Pavilion where the table was already full of various delicacies, including the chicken drumsticks that Song Ting had clamored for upon entering the residence.

Upon seeing him making such a fuss, Li Bo thought he was very hungry and hurriedly asked the kitchen to add several more large drumsticks.

When Song Ting saw the chicken drumsticks he had been yearning for, he no longer cared about anything else; he excitedly ran over and sat in front of the plate of drumsticks.

Song Feng and Li Mingjue came out of the study together and halfway to the Tinglan Pavilion, ran into Song Yuting, who was running ahead in a rage, with Axi quickly following her.

Song Feng frowned.

He had already heard from Qi Yu about the misdeeds that Song Yuting had committed and had been upset about his granddaughter’s unruly behavior.

Qi Yu promptly stated that she had asked for two experienced nannies from the palace to properly instruct her.

Song Feng’s anger subsided a bit.

Now, seeing Song Yuting running around the Prince Residence without any decorum, Song Feng’s eyes grew colder.

Li Mingjue saw her heading towards the Tinglan Pavilion and his expression also grew cold. He slightly raised his hand, signaling Shiqi to follow and keep a close watch on Song Yuting’s actions.

"Bitch, get out here!" The fury within Song Yuting had been brewing, and she shouted even before entering.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yu didn’t get angry but merely raised her eyebrows slightly.

Song Ting, hearing Song Yuting’s shrill yelling, pursed his lips, feeling that the drumsticks in front of him had lost their appeal.

He turned his head to look at Qi Yu, "Cousin, can we send her away?"

This person was seriously affecting his appetite.

Qi Yu sipped his tea, and smiled faintly, "What’s the hurry? I think she won’t shed tears until she sees the coffin."

No sooner had he spoken than Song Yuting had already charged in.

Seeing the delicacies on the table, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

But immediately after, a burst of anger flared up in her heart.

So they were enjoying a feast here while they sent her just a few dishes of vegetable leaves.

"You wretch, how dare you humiliate me like this!" Song Yuting, furious, pointed at Qi Yu and scolded.

Before Qi Yu could speak, Song Ting had already stepped forward and pushed Song Yuting out, "Get out, and don’t you dare insult your cousin’s wife!"

Song Yuting, who had been hungry all afternoon, hit the pillar nearby as Song Ting pushed her, causing stars to appear in her eyes.

Axi hurried to support her, anxiously advising, "Miss, let’s go back."

Song Yuting, in a fury, was not listening to her plea.

She pushed the person away and was just about to confront Song Ting when a commanding voice from outside the door said, "Get out at once!"

Upon hearing this voice, Song Yuting trembled all over. She stiffly turned her head and saw Song Feng entering from outside with a frosty face, accompanied by a similarly indifferent Li Mingjue.

"Grandfather, I..." Song Yuting stammered trying to justify herself, but upon facing those sharp, eagle-like eyes of Song Feng, she felt frightened and could not utter a word for a good while.

Axi felt the situation was a mess; all she could do was silently stand behind Song Yuting, praying that the General would not be too angry.

Song Yuting lowered her head to see the red marks on her palms, remembering how she had been beaten into a sorry state by the two nannies that afternoon, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

She raised her reddened palms, crying out to Song Feng, "Grandfather, look at my palms, what have they turned into? It’s all because of this despicable... cousin’s wife. She purposely had someone beat me!"

She squeezed out the term "cousin’s wife" through gritted teeth, clearly unwillingly.

Qi Yu just sipped her tea indifferently, silently observing her performance.

With things having reached this point, how could Song Yuting still naïvely think that everyone would take her side?

She was obviously in the wrong, and to any viewer, she appeared nothing but obstinate and unruly.

The coldness in Li Mingjue’s eyes had now turned to disgust. He had always kept his distance from Song Yuting, who always looked at him with a clingy gaze.

Now, hearing her repeatedly call someone a wretch and daring to distort the truth, the coldness in his eyes almost became tangible.

Song Feng spoke sternly, "Why would your cousin’s wife beat you?"

Song Yuting, startled, stuttered for a while but could not articulate a word.

At this moment, Qi Yu finally stood up slowly, walked up to her, "Do you dare repeat what you said today in front of your grandfather, word for word?"

Song Yuting nervously swallowed her saliva.

Of course, she dared not because she had not only scolded Qi Yu but also Song Feng.

Axi, standing nearby, could hardly bear to watch. She bowed her head, silently lamenting to herself that if not for Song Yuting’s overbearing arrogance and her inability to read the room, she would not have ended up in such a universally shunned situation.

Sure, staying quietly at the General Residence would have been fine.

Now, she was like a lamb walking into a tiger’s den.

Song Yuting bit her lip, neither knowing how to argue back nor willing to let go.

She certainly wouldn’t admit that this was her fault.

Qi Yu was well aware of her performance. Her eyes coldly swept over Song Yuting, and with a hook of her lips, she gave a cold laugh, "Actually, I remember hearing some interesting things from the empress when I visited the palace last time."
