Chapter 119 Disfigurement
The old lady pushed open the door and met Song Wanshi's eyes who was sitting inside. She was stunned on the spot.
Madam Wang was so shocked that she was speechless. It took her a long time to speak, "This... this really doesn't look like the second young lady of the general's mansion. I have also seen the second young lady of the general's mansion. She really doesn't look like this one now."
The old lady's face was also angry now, and she changed her previous words, "Ting Bo is right, this general's mansion is too much. How can they just find a plain-looking woman to marry into our mansion? We are the Zhongping Marquis Mansion, after all, we have a title, how can we tolerate their arrogance? Drive and go to the general's mansion to ask for justice."
Song Wanshi was now extremely scared, with big tears falling down. She stood up and explained to the old lady and Madam Wang, "Grandma, mother-in-law, I am really the second daughter of the general's mansion. Please believe me this time. I just ate something wrong, and my face has become like this now. Just wait for me to recover, and then I can return to my former appearance."
"How is that possible? I've seen Song Wanshi, and she's definitely not what she looks like now." Madam Wang didn't believe it at all. She waved her hand and said to the people behind her, "Tie up this fake bride and take her to the General's Mansion to ask for an explanation. How can our Zhongping Marquis Mansion allow them to bully us like this? If you don't hand over the real Second Miss today, I will never let them go."
Song Wanshi kept explaining but no one listened to her, so she could only follow the people from Marquis Zhongping's Mansion back to the General's Mansion.
Not long after, Mother Xu ran into the yard from outside the general's mansion with a look of panic on her face.
"Madam, something bad has happened. Something terrible has happened."
Mother Xu looked worried, and said to Nan Hongqiu, who was still sad about marrying off her daughter, "Madam, the people from the Zhongping Marquis's residence said that the girl we married was fake, and they said they would come to ask for an explanation. Now the people from the Zhongping Marquis's residence may be at the door soon, so Madam and Master should get ready to go and take a look."
Nan Hongqiu and Song Zhan at the mansion found it unbelievable when they heard about this.
Song Zhan subconsciously looked at Nan Hongqiu, feeling that she had not done a good job.
Nan Hongqiu sneered twice and frowned, "Impossible, I personally sent Wanshi to the bridal sedan, how could something go wrong? Could it be that the Zhongping Marquis Mansion is here to cause trouble?"
Both the couple felt puzzled, so they went to the main hall to meet the people from Marquis Zhongping's mansion.
Madam Wang took the lead now. She changed her previous vegetarian and Buddhist demeanor and started to curse Nan Hongqiu when she saw him. "Nan Hongqiu, Nan Hongqiu, I thought you were a person who kept your promises, but who would have thought you would do such a thing. You married your own daughter to me, but in fact you only found an unattractive girl and sent her here. You want me, the Marquis of Zhongping, to suffer this loss. I really can't do that."
"My dear relatives, this is probably a misunderstanding. I personally sent my daughter, Shi Jie'er, to the bridal sedan. How could I find someone to impersonate her?" Nan Hongqiu forced a smile and explained, "Besides, if I find someone to impersonate her, our two families will have to interact with each other in the future. I really can't do such an unseemly thing."
"If I hadn't brought her here today, I'm afraid you would have tricked her into leaving." Madam Wang waved to Yuchan behind her and said coldly, "Bring up the bride."
Nan Hongqiu and Song Zhan were stunned for a moment, watching the bride in her wedding dress being carried up with heavy hands tied behind her back.
Song Wanshi was lying on the ground with tears in her eyes, and Nan Hongqiu and Song Zhan could not recognize her.
Nan Hongqiu was now shocked, and asked Song Wanshi directly, "Who are you? Where is my daughter? Where did my daughter go?"
Song Wanshi cleared her throat and looked at Nan Hongqiu with tearful eyes, "Mother...even mother can't recognize her daughter?"
Although she couldn't recognize her face, Nan Hongqiu couldn't mistake Song Wanshi's voice. She looked at Song Wanshi and asked in surprise, "Sister Shi?"
Song Wanshi nodded repeatedly and said to Nan Hongqiu, "Mother, I'm afraid I was poisoned and my appearance is ruined. Please seek justice for me."
"Sister Shi?" Nan Hongqiu recognized Song Wanshi now, and when she saw how she looked now, she almost fainted.
Nan Hongqiu looked at Mother Xu beside him and said quickly, "Hurry up and untie the girl!"
Mother Xu, who was standing by, had already been frightened out of her wits. She came back to her senses after hearing what Nan Hongqiu said, and hurriedly asked the maids around her to untie Song Wanshi.
Mrs. Wang, who was standing aside to explain, was also stunned by the scene and stood there motionless.
"My sister Shi, how could she become like this... My sister Shi..." Nan Hongqiu knelt on the ground, hugged Song Wanshi and cried, "Who is it, who poisoned my sister Shi? Go and find out, I will tear her into pieces."
Song Wanshi was now in despair, but she still looked at Nan Hongqiu and said, "Mother, I'm afraid there's no hope for my daughter in this state. I just hope you can talk it out with the people in the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion. I'm a genuine daughter, and I hope to go back with them and live a good life."
Nan Hongqiu listened, wiped the tears from her face, and said, "Madam Wang, my daughter was just poisoned, but she is still the second daughter of the general's mansion. Please take my daughter with you when you go back. After all, she has already married Mr. Bai, and is now the legitimate second wife of Mr. Bai in the Zhongping Marquis's mansion."
Mrs. Wang almost fainted after hearing this. She pointed at Song Wanshi who was held in Nan Hongqiu's arms and said incredulously, "You said she was Song Wanshi? Could it be that you two mother and daughter are putting on a show to deceive our family? I don't believe it."
When Mrs. Wang looked at Song Wanshi's appearance, she felt that she would have nightmares if she saw her every day, so she immediately didn't want to accept the marriage.
"My daughter has a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her arm, which is known to many dignitaries in the capital. If you don't believe me, I'll ask Sister Shi to lift up her sleeves for you to recognize." Nan Hongqiu had a rare moment of clarity, so she said, "My daughter is a genuine daughter, the second daughter of the general's mansion. It was you, the Marquis of Zhongping, who fell in love with our daughter. Now that you see my daughter has done something wrong, you want to deny it? I'm afraid you can't do that."
Wen Tingbai, who was standing next to Mrs. Wang, remained silent. On the one hand, he wanted to see what was going on. On the other hand, he was now a non-human being and was afraid that he would be criticized if he spoke out.
Who would have thought that when Wen Tingbai saw that the situation could not be reversed, he actually fell down and fainted.
