“What are you talking about?” After a moment of deathlike silence, Song Lu spoke in a mute voice, “Yibao and Yiyao are still alive?”
She showed a pained look, “How can they still be alive?!”
“I only have half a pillar of incense, if you continue to act like this, then I will leave immediately!” Song Yixiao was too lazy to bother with her, and said bluntly, “You also know that I don’t have much affection for the Song family, if it’s not for the sake of reputation, do you think I’m willing to go on this trip?!”
“… “Song Lu didn’t say anything for a moment before saying quietly, “How did you see it?”
“It’s weird if you can’t see it, right?” Song Yixiao sneered, “Those people from Pu Mama, they came out in time don’t tell me that it was because of Jiangnan Hall’s deep roots that they were able to come out in time to preside over the Song Mansion’s overall situation! If the winds and grasses of the Song family really can’t be hidden from them at all, they won’t let you make such a crazy move this time in the first place! Besides, you claimed in front of the court that you poisoned and killed three children before entering the palace, and they coincidentally saved Yiyao! How can there be so many coincidences and flukes? Who would believe you if you hadn’t planned this all along?”
Song Lu frowned, “This is something I know I can’t hide, but why do you think I did this because I fell on hard times and was forced by people, and had no choice but to do it in order to protect Yiyao and the others?”
She said heatedly, “Perhaps, I was actually trying to get back at you but couldn’t bear to let go of the Jiangnan Hall’s heir, which is why I quietly notified Mama Pu and the others after making my move, so as to give Yiyao and the others a chance to live?”
“Ever since my father passed away, you couldn’t even bounce the stewards on those Song family manors and stores!” Song Yixiao snorted out a laugh at that, “Not to mention those people at Mama Pu? If I’m right, even if they aren’t Jiangnan Hall’s secret guards, their status isn’t bad at allI’ve heard from Second Prince Su that these kinds of servants, other than the head of the family, aren’t at all something you, the mother of the family, can call upon! Even Yiyao would have to tie his hair before he could give them orders!”
“And it’s their duty to protect Yiyo until she ties her hair!”
“Do you have that power to feed Yiyo a crane in front of their eyes?!”
“If they hadn’t acquiesced to such behavior, you just wouldn’t have been able to feed Yiyao a few mouthfuls of leftovers, I guess!”
Song Yixiao said with a cold smile, “So you guys didn’t discuss this, and what is it?!”
“And you yourself may have wanted to turn against me for various reasons, but those people from Pu Mama are Jiangnan Hall’s worldly servants, not your Lu Family’s subordinates, so how could they possibly eradicate me, the first daughter of Jiangnan Hall, in order to avenge a personal vendetta on your behalf?!”
“After all, Yiyao is still so young, and the Jiangnan Hall doesn’t have much else now, so they can’t help but expect me to promote Yiyao in the future, right?”
“There’s only one possibility that could make them cooperate with this move of yours!”
“That is, Jiangnan Hall has encountered a great threat, a threat that relates to the survival of Jiangnan Hall!”
“It even directly jeopardizes Yiyao!”
“They had no choice!”
“Yiyao and the others are still young, and I think you’re the only one who could cause such trouble!”
As for why it couldn’t have been a backlash left behind by Song Yuan before if Jiangnan Hall had been such a threat when Song Yuan was around, Song Yuan probably wouldn’t have plotted to get Wei Mengying killed.
After all, Jiangnan Hall’s heir was so thin that it simply could not prohibit any blows in this regard.
No matter how unqualified Song Yuan was as a family head, it was impossible for him to still have the heart to ponder plotting against his exwife when Jiangnan Hall was in great danger.
So it could only be Song Lu’s own sin after Song Yuan went.
After hearing Song Yixiao’s deduction, Song Lu was silent for a while before she sighed softly, “If you can think of this, so can others. So much for going around in circles …”
She was silent again for a while and asked in a low voice, “Can Yiyao and Yibao … be saved?”
“How do I know?” Song Yixiao’s face hidden under the hood was very ugly, coldly snorted, “Although the Empress Dowager favors my husband, she still loves her own daughter the mostdidn’t everyone see this clearly in the past few months? Not to mention that my husband and the Empress Dowager’s grandparents and grandchildren, if the Empress Dowager hears the news and has a long or short, who do you think my husband will be toward?”
Not only for Jian Xu Bai, but also for Song Yixiao herself, on the one hand is the child of her mother’s murderer, on the other hand is the noble and good to her Empress Dowager, who will she choose?
Song Lu closed her eyes heavily for a moment before bitterly saying, “But at least there’s still a gamble to be made, isn’t there?”
“You mean, if you don’t do this, there’s not even the possibility of taking a gamble?!” Song Yixiao sensitively heard the unfinished meaning in her words, and could not help but be surprised, “What exactly did you do? Although Jiangnan Hall has fallen, your mother’s family is also gone, but the Song family before the favor left more or less still have a little, this is only a few years of work, you do not have to beg for justice? Especially Gu Shao, when my mother was assassinated, he personally came out to protect you!”
“Even Gu Shao may not be able to take up this matter.” Song Lu sniffed, but only laughed bitterly, she slowly shook her head and said in a low voice, “And although he has taken care of us mother and child quite a bit, but in the end it’s different from when my husband was around, I’m really not sure that he’ll help us when he hears about it, instead of silencing us Missy, I did hate you! After my mother’s family was gone! But in fact, I’ve also always felt sorry for you, not because of Princess Wei, but because of the two county lords Xinling and Anyang, especially every time I see Yibao and Yijiao …”
When she said this, a strong sense of reluctance rose between her eyebrows, and she seemed to choke before continuing, “So I’m very sorry that this time, I’ve dragged you down with me again!”
Seeing Song Yixiao frowning, seemingly about to say something, Song Lu revealed a miserable smile, “Please don’t ask, I won’t say anything I made Yijiao pay for the life of County Princess Anyang, and I, myself, will soon pay for Princess Wei’s life as well, you see, I’ve even given up one of my own daughters, do you still expect that I would open my mouth and tell you anything?”
Adding, “You should also not threaten me with Yibao and Yiyao, I can see that you’re not the kind of person that Princess Wei is, otherwise you would have already known that it was me who plotted to assassinate Princess Wei, so what have you been doing to keep from making a move on me, and just distancing yourself from me?”
Song Yi smiled and stared at her, “Mother Pu begged me to make sure to protect Yiyao, so that’s why I’ve asked my connections to come in and find you today, trying to figure out what’s going on. But you refuse to say anything now, so it seems that you’re very confident in Yiyao’s safety?”
“If I had confidence, why would I have asked you, Eldest Miss, just now?” Song Lu smiled miserably and said, “Eldest Miss don’t condescend to my words anymore, in fact, if I don’t tell you anything right now, how is it not for your own good?”
She choked out, “There are some secrets that can’t be touched!”
After saying this, she refused to make a sound no matter how much Song Yixiao asked.
Half a column of incense time quickly arrived, after the jailer came to urge, Song Yixiao even though full of doubts, but also had to leave.
She locked her eyebrows back to the State Duke’s Mansion, changed clothes and skirts, but also not to rest, and ordered, “Go to the Song Mansion to see!”
After all, there were only three small children left as the current masters of the Song residence, and she, the eldest married sister, could not afford to be inconsiderate.
However, the trip was a blank: because the palace finally remembered, the offender woman Song Lu’s family should also be taken off the prison!
Looking at the seal on the door of the Song Mansion, Song Yixiao felt a momentary trance as she lifted the curtains of the car and looked at the notsofamiliar front door for a while before saying, “Go back to the mansion!”
When she went back, the eldest maid who had stayed behind, Chichan, came up and told her that many visitors had come to the party and were disappointed to hear that she was not in the house.
Song Yi laughed and asked, Jiang Mubai, Yuan Xuexie Calyx and others, all of them have come in person.
County Princess Qingjiang, Lady Shouchunbo and Pei Yourui also each sent someone to come and offer their condolences it seems that what Song Lu did has already spread.
Song Yixiao this will feel very tired, also do not have the heart to read the post, only sent the maid to reply on behalf of their own.
But the next day, Jiang Mubai and Yuan Xuexie aunt and sisterinlaw took the lead, and gathered Xie Yiren, Pei Yourui, and Song Luoyan, but came again.
After all, Song Lu’s this time to do things is really too sensational, Song Yi smile even if not because of Cui Jianren things are involved, alone the mother’s family has such a big change, but also really called them these girlfriends friends worry.
In the end, he had to personally come over and see that Song Yixiao was still holding up before he could rest assured.
“I never thought Grandma Lu would be such a person!” These people were all towards Song Yixiao, and now they couldn’t help but complain about Song Lu, “A tiger’s venom doesn’t eat its children! What’s more, the destruction of the Lu family was entirely of your own making, so what does it have to do with you? This woman is really crazy!”
“Alas, I don’t know what to say about these things.” Song Yixiao know that they have good intentions, but now really no mood for hospitality, only sighed, “I went to the Song residence yesterday, originally wanted to see my younger sibling, but who knows, the Song residence has been blocked, the pawns at the door said, my younger sibling has also been imprisoned … me … I don’t know what to do?”
Jiang Mubai and the others also knew that Song Lu’s act of going against the grain like that, even if Song Yixiao wanted to help this stepmother, there was nothing she could do to return to heaven.
The only ones who can be saved right now are Song Yibao and Song Yiyao, who are not yet adults.
But these two, while still kids, have a very dim future.
“I went into the palace yesterday to greet my aunt, and I heard my aunt say that yesterday His Majesty went to the Qingxi Palace to greet the Dowager Empress, and in the middle of it, I don’t know what happened, so much so that he even summoned the Imperial Physician a long time later!” Jiang Mu scape said with words and phrases, “Later Gu Xiang hurriedly entered the palace, talked with the dowager empress for a long time, and only retired when the palace gate was about to drop the key listening to the rumors among the palace people, the dowager empress … seems to be …”
When she said here, she raised her eyes and looked around, seeing that besides Song Luoyan they were all acquaintances, and Song Luoyan is a side branch of the Jiangnan Song Clan, whose full nephew has been made Song Yixiao’s righteous son, and should not be counted as an outsider, and only then did she continue, “It seems that the Empress Dowager cut herself in front of His Majesty, and although His Majesty snatched off the blade in time, she was also not lightly injured! That’s why the Imperial Physician had to be called in!”
He also said, “If not Gu Xiang timely into the palace, and the dowager empress dowager a long talk, persuade the dowager empress dowager to suppress this matter then. I’m afraid that this will be inside and outside the palace has been spread all over spare me, even my aunt’s side know, then privately this news is certainly also to be spread out, at most the Royal scene does not recognize just!”
Jiang Muzhe said this matter, in fact, is a euphemism to tell Song Yixiao, Song Yibao siblings, is not so good to keep down.
After all, the Dowager Empress has made a scene to the point of cutting her own throat in front of the Emperor, so it can be seen that the indignation in this old man’s heart for the death of his youngest daughter has not been calmed with the burial of the Grand Princess and her wife of the Daikoku.
And how could they be lenient because Song Yibao’s siblings are young?
Song Yixiao was silent for a while before she said, “This is all the blood and bones in my mother s family … I always have to try!”
She actually does not care about whether Jiangnan Hall heir, the reason why she came forward to run, but also do not want to fall into a cool reputation for nothing.
But after the meeting with Song Lu’s prison, although Song Lu’s refused to say anything, she thought of one thing: if Song Lu’s was forced to this point today, then, when Song Yuan plotted to harm Wei Mengying, and whether it is really out of their own will, or for people flirting?
The person who urged him on, was it because he had a personal vendetta against Wei Mengying, or, did he have ulterior motives?
