Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing that the Song family could not see their injuries as if they were blind and were instead concerned about the person who hit them, Hong Qiao was furious. She was about to say something when a sharp voice sounded from outside the door.
“Wow, the residence is lively today.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked in under the lead of a servant. The leader was Eunuch Li, the eldest eunuch beside Emperor Chong’an.
Noticing the injuries on the faces of Hong Qiao and the others, Eunuch Li was surprised, but he did not show it on his face. He only smiled and went forward to greet the three masters of the Song family. Then, he exchanged pleasantries with Old Master Song. novelbin
Speaking of which, Old Master Song had long passed the title to his son. He had also handed over his military power. Unless there was a war outside, he usually did not attend court.
Perhaps because he felt that it was awkward to neglect him, Emperor Chong’an would summon him to the palace from time to time. At the very least, he would send someone to the Duke’s residence every few days to take care of him to show his value. Therefore, Eunuch Li could be considered a regular guest in the residence.
Madam Li only thought that it was the same this time. As for why she did not suspect that he was here because of Princess Linghui, he did not even ask when she saw Hong Qiao and the others, let alone mention Linghui. It was obvious that he did not know about this matter.

Actually, he still found it strange. Why did everyone in and out of the palace know that he had a new wife in less than half a day?
And it was without his knowledge!
It was fine if he did not hear it with his own ears previously, but since he had come to ask, he naturally had to clarify. It had to be known that such rumors were really damaging to a young lady’s reputation.
Hearing that he had fainted, Little Jiajia felt a little guilty. If not for her collision, her little husband would not have fainted.
Hearing him deny it again, the guilt instantly dissipated. She glared at Song Jingchen angrily.
Song Jingchen pursed his lips tightly. An unnatural expression flashed across his face, but he was stubborn enough not to speak again.
Eunuch Li saw the change in their expressions and knew what to do. He tactfully stopped talking about this topic.
“Old Master, look, His Majesty is still waiting..”
