Song Si closed her eyes.

Song Wanyue's voice came back, "The third prince is the emperor's favorite prince. Not to mention that he killed 113 people from the Gu family, even if he slaughtered 113 villages, the emperor would not really kill him, let alone a dead Duke of Qi was punished. Since we can't take his life, why bother with our family? Concubine Xian and Duke were also for our own good."

After a while, Song Si spoke slowly, his voice was hoarse with unwillingness, "Can we just let it go?"

"Of course not. The Empress Xian just told me that the Emperor allowed us to make conditions. We can discuss with the Duke and discuss what conditions are the most appropriate."

As he said that, he looked at Duke Ding, "Do you know where the emperor's bottom line is?"

Duke Ding was stunned.

Then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, afraid that Song Wanyue would find out, so he raised his hand to stroke his beard in concealment, thinking to himself, no wonder that the brat had tried his best to get engaged to the little girl, the little girl was indeed very smart.

But he was very serious, "The emperor is very fond of the third prince. He should give it to the emperor regardless of money, official position, or privileged one."

"I see."

The corners of Duke Ding's mouth could not be suppressed.

...

On the way back, Song Si was silent like never before.

Song Wanyue was afraid that he would have any grudges against the Duke Ding Mansion in his heart, so she persuaded softly, "Brother, Empress Xian and Duke regard us as a family, so she came to persuade us. If it were others, they wouldn't even care about it."

"I know."

Song Si knew everything, but he just couldn't get justice for the Gu family, and felt uncomfortable.

"It's good if my brother knows it. I was particularly afraid that my brother would ask to terminate the engagement with Sister Yao in an impulse. In that way, Sister Yao's life will be over."

When it comes to Xiao Yao, Song Si feels a little better. After his family leaves, he will get along with Xiao Yao for a while when he comes back from the yamen. The more he gets along, the more he likes it.

Not only did Xiao Yao not have the airs of a lady, but he also thought about him everywhere. He hoped to pass early every day, so that he would get closer to marrying Xiao Yao.

"Brother will recognize Miss Xiao in this life. Even if...even if there is any accident in the future, she will not marry her."

"Brother must remember what you said today. If you are not good to Sister Yao in the future, I will not be able to spare you."

"Yue'er..."

Song Si didn't know what to say, the Gu family's affairs would be greatly affected by Yue'er. If she did...

Song Wanyue blinked.

"nothing."

Song Siru touched her head as before, "Remember, no matter when, you have a big brother."

...

The carriage stopped at the door of the house. Before the two of them got off the carriage, the curtain was lifted and Sun Jin's face appeared in front of them, "Is it true?"

After asking, I saw Song Wanyue in the carriage and knew it must be true, and I didn't know how to face her for a moment.

On the way to the Hanlin Academy early in the morning, he heard people talking, but did not take it seriously. Until he entered the Hanlin Academy and heard his colleagues talking, he felt that it was true. He didn't even report the false, and rushed over.

Song Wanyue greeted him as usual, "Prince Sun."

Sun Jin took a step back guiltily, "Song, Miss Song."

Song Wanyue saw it and said, "The third prince is the third prince. We will not count what he does to the Sixth Princess, let alone involve Princess Sun."

Sun Jin looked ashamed and felt that he was not as good as a little girl.

"Brother, I'll go to the Xu family."

Song Si got off the carriage, and the coachman drove the carriage to Xu's house.

Song Sigang took out the key and was about to open the door. Two postmen led their horses over and shouted in a flattering manner, "Song, Song Hanlin."

The two of them rested at the pastry shop last night and didn't sleep well all night. After thinking about it, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that the fifty taels of silver they collected were hot. They came over early in the morning to return it to Song Wanyue. They happened to see the father-in-law in the palace calling for someone, but the two of them did not dare to step forward.

"Thank you two for sending my sister over."

The two of them waved their hands quickly, took out the fifty taels of silver notes, held them with their hands and handed them to him, and stuttered, "We can't ask for this money. In the past, I didn't know that she was Song Hanlin's sister. Now, I know now... I'll give it to you now." The two postmen were very nervous.

"Take it, it's been hard for you to escort all the way, this is what you deserve."

The two postmen could not believe their ears. If they were placed on other officials, they would not only be scolded, but they might not even be able to save their errands.

"Please hold it up, be careful on the way back."

"Thank you Song Hanlin, thank you Song Hanlin."

The two of them were so happy that they didn't know what to do. They kept thanking each other. After packing the banknotes, they took the horse back a long way before turning over and galloping out of the capital.

Song Si opened the door and went in. Sun Jin thought about it and followed him in.

...

"Miss Song, that seems to be Mr. Xu."

The coachman reported.

Song Wanyue lifted the curtain and saw Mr. Xu standing at the intersection in front. He looked at the direction of the Xu family, as if he wanted to go over, so he took the steps out and took them back.

"Stop!"

The carriage stopped in front of Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu subconsciously took a step back, and when he saw Song Wanyue in the carriage clearly, he stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How is my father?"

The news of the old man being poisoned was sent back to the capital. After he learned that, he hired a carriage to Qingping County. Halfway through, he heard that the old man had woken up. Thinking of the old man's determination to him at that time, he would not want to see him, so he asked the coachman to come back. He heard about the Gu family again this morning, and was really worried. He wanted to come and ask, but he didn't dare to go there.

"Grand-Great-Grandfather is very good."

"Listen to me..."

Mr. Xu said anxiously, "If you really feel sorry for him, don't let him sue you for your complaint. He is old and his body can't stand it. If it doesn't work, I can..."

"Thank you, no need."

Mr. Xu stopped.

"Empress Xian has already passed the message, and Duke Ding also persuaded us. We will sue the emperor, but we will not use excessive methods."

"That's good, that's good."

After saying that, he realized that he had no position and took a few steps back awkwardly.

Song Wanyue nodded at him and lowered the curtain of the car.

Mr. Xu stood there and watched the carriage reach the door of the Xu family. Uncle Xu came out from inside and welcomed Song Wanyue in, and then he turned around and left sadly.

The moment she saw Song Wanyue, Mrs. Xu Er knew that the rumors outside were true. She looked at her several times in fear, "It's fine if you're okay, it's fine if you're okay."

Early in the morning, people in the mansion went out to buy vegetables. When they heard the rumors, they came back to report to her. She was so scared that she was afraid that the Song family would also suffer from the disaster.

"The family is fine, don't worry, second grandmother."

After saying that, his eyes turned red.

Mrs. Xu Er hugged her in her arms with distress.
