As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, there is one misadventure after another among the young masters of the Pri Minister Song’s Mansion, each sohow entangled in romantic debts as if by appointnt.
First, Song Zhiyu was frad into eting a poor scholar who praised him a few tis and then beca sworn brothers. A few days later, he was invited to dine at the scholar’s house, and after a night, he found himself stark naked in the bed of the scholar’s sister, like a boiled chicken.
That was it, caught by the girl demanding responsibility, or else she would beat the drum of justice to lodge a complaint, which drove Song Zhiyu mad, so much that he wanted to take a knife and fight them.
They say Song Zhiyu is a man of fortune, but look at this ss he’s walked into; he’s even the protagonist of the spectacle, and this is what they call fortune?
Bullsh*t.
Song Zhiyu was almost itching to roll up his sleeves and settle accounts with the magician who read his destiny.
He’s not stupid; he knew he’d been set up, but having a girl lying beside him was also a fact. The other party wouldn’t relent, and even if she was just a concubine-to-be, they wanted to have him entangled, which annoyed him greatly. Being afraid that the trouble wouldn’t be contained from the family head, he automatically fessed up.
Then his nephew, Song Lingsu, attending a poetry gathering at a classmate’s manor, was sohow maneuvered into soone’s guest room, coincidentally while that person was changing clothes, which shocked him white as a sheet.
Next, the twin brothers, simply rescuing a damsel in distress, ended up with the girl forcibly insisting on following them back to the mansion, even volunteering to share their bed.
The uncles and nephews of the Song family, having experienced these lowbrow affairs, each felt as deflated as wilted vegetables, unable to lift their heads.
It was utterly embarrassing.
They fell into such obvious traps.
"Oh, you’re all blushing? Is it from sha or anger?" Song Zhiyuan, rubbing the Buddhist beads on his wrist, looked at the line of brothers, sons, and nephews with a half-smile.
None of the younger ones dared to make a sound.
Only Song Zhiyu smacked his lips and said, "No, big brother, you’re ssing with us, why are you playing us like this?"
So hateful.
Indeed, everything ntioned above was all orchestrated by this family head, Song Zhiyuan.
"You think it was just a show to entertain you? Oh, I did indeed intend to prank you, but if the truth wasn’t revealed to you, what you’ve experienced would be entirely real. Have you thought about what the consequences would be now?" Song Zhiyuan looked at them coldly, "If word got out, you’d be entangled in these troubles like swallowing a fly, utterly disgusting. And I, along with the Pri Minister’s Mansion, would be attacked and impeached."
Everyone was silent.
"What you’ve gone through is but the tip of the iceberg. The shady dealings within the residence are far more brutal and dark than you imagine, with countless sches. I’d rather sche against you first than have you truly caught in such tricks because it’d be even more brutal than now. With this experience, you’ll be more cautious in the future; never trust people blindly, grow more vigilant, and don’t foolishly indulge in kindness to avoid ending up losing yourself in the process."
"Uncle, we all understand now, and we’ll definitely be cautious in the future," Song Lingzhao quickly responded.
Song Lingjie also said, "My mother always said that won are like tigers, the prettier they are, the more careful you should be. Turns out she was right, it’s terrifying. I’ll have to stay away from them in the future."
Song Zhiyuan: "....."
How on earth did Jiang usually talk to the children, to twist their perceptions like this?
He looked at Song Zhiyu and Song Lingsu, his face turning serious, "Zhao’er and they haven’t traveled far before, they’re young and inexperienced, I can overlook that. But you two, I’m disappointed. You just returned from a trip to the old ho for the ancestral rites. I thought that journey, with what you saw and experienced, would make you more steadfast, but it seems I was wrong."
