Died in childbirth?

  At night, Song Lingyu tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Shangguan Chen.

  That woman, was she her birth mother after all? And how did she die?

  On the second day, Song Lingyu got up and felt very unwell. Even Zilan and Xiangzhen were slightly surprised, as their mistress had always slept well and rarely felt so unspirited. Had she encountered something inauspicious at the ancestral hall yesterday?

  Just as the two were in doubt, a bird cry suddenly came from outside.

  "Ah, it's that pigeon coming with a message!"

  As soon as Song Lingyu heard Wei Zhen's words, her fatigue dissipated by more than half. She only had one thought in mind - could it be that Le has already found out something? Thinking of this, she immediately said: "Quickly catch that pigeon and bring it in!"

  "Yes." Zhen said, then ran out. Soon, she came back again, with a milky white pigeon in her hand.

  Song Lingyu took the pigeon and removed the letter from its back, opening it immediately to read. There were only three words written on it: 'Wang Yue Lou'. Seeing this location, Song Lingyu had already guessed who she was going to meet. This time, it wasn't Lian Ping, but Lian Le.

  After receiving the letter, Song Lingyu immediately had the coachman prepare the horse and carriage and headed towards Wangyuelou.

  After arriving at the elegant room of Wangyuelou, Song Lingyu walked in and looked at Lian Le asking: "Is there any news?"

  Lian Le nodded and said, "Last time I let Lian Ping give you the portrait, you must have seen it. What made me feel that something was off last time was that the Right Prime Minister's wife I investigated should be a woman named Shangguan Chen, but now the Right Prime Minister's wife is actually Zhuang Qing, the eldest daughter of the First Mountain Villa."

  Song Lingyu slightly pursed her lips and took a sip of tea, her face devoid of any emotion. She could lose control in her own heart, but she absolutely couldn't show emotions in front of others. "You continue speaking."

  Later, I sent someone to investigate and the news came back that Shangguan Cheng was indeed a person from the Right Prime Minister's estate, but had passed away 14 years ago. The current Right Prime Minister's wife entered the estate after completing a year of mourning.

  Song Lingyu nodded: "Then you know how the wife of Yuanyou Xianggong died?"

  Lian Le looked at Song Lingyu and said only two words: "Difficult birth."

  Song Lingyu was taken aback. So, it turned out that her own birthday was the anniversary of her mother's death! "Was it just a simple difficult birth? I always feel like things aren't that simple."

  Lian Le looked at Song Lingyu with some curiosity: "You seem to care about this matter a lot."

  "That's natural, Upper Official Cheng is one of our Song family members after all. You continue investigating downwards, no, you go find the midwife who delivered Upper Official Cheng first."

  "Why investigate so clearly."

  Song Lingyu smiled slightly and said, "If I say that I hate the Song family, would you believe me?" Lian Le was taken aback and didn't speak. Song Lingyu continued, "I hate the Song family, so I want to make them suffer. If Shangguan Chen is killed by the Song family, then I will have grasped a handle on the Song family."

  As for the fact that Song Lingyu was not Madame's biological daughter, but rather Shangguan Cheng's daughter, she would never let Lian Le know.

  When it was time to leave the wine tower, Song Lingyu stopped and said: "I think the Fifth Prince should also make a move. He is in hiding, so he won't notice you. But Mu Shaochen is in plain sight, and last time at the hunting grounds they had already clashed irreconcilably. According to his personality, he will definitely seek revenge for this grudge. If you don't want to lose Mu Shaochen as a powerful ally, then you should try your best to help him."
