Chapter Ten.

Mr. Xiao Ji is feeling extremely uncomfortable. The Zhang family, with whom he hasn't had contact for a long time, has come to visit again.

At that moment, Song Jiarang and his companions heard about the incident where Song Jianuo and Qin Rong picked up a child. They came over to take a look and saw Qin Zheng holding the sleeping baby with a gentle fatherly expression while talking to Song Jiayan. Upon seeing Song Jiarang, Song Jiayan felt relieved and asked, "What are we going to do with the baby?"

Qin Zheng smiled without showing any expression and said, "That's good. Grandmother, mother, if there's nothing else, I will go study."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "No."

Wu Anhou said, "It's only natural. Families like ours are not like those arrogant people who make a fuss about everything. As long as our daughter is safe, everything is fine." He then said to his wife, "Just rest assured." Wu Anhou had no idea where Song Rong got such a great face. With Song Rong's abilities, Wu Anhou felt even more satisfied with his choice of son-in-law.

Song Jiayan kicked him under the table, and Qin Zheng scooped up two yuanxiao for Song Jiayan, saying with a kind and understanding face, "I know you like sesame filling, eat a few more." After saying that, Qin Zheng laughed even more happily, while Song Jiayan rolled his eyes.

When returning the official seal, there was only one sharp imperial approval on it: Approved.

Song Rong gave some instructions to his daughter, patted her head, and then left with his followers. After walking for a while, he turned back and saw that Song Jiayan was still standing at the entrance of the temple.

Song Rongdao: "Alright, since you don't know, then go back."

The daughter of the Song family, naturally Song Rong has the final say. Marquis Wu'an said, "If you have no such intention, you should take precautions beforehand." As for Song Jia, her reputation is too loud to ignore. Of course, her reputation is mixed. However, if Song Jia speaks for herself, it's hard to say what the truth is.

How did the Third Young Master get lost? Even if he went out during the Lantern Festival, he wouldn't have lost his attendants such as maids, servants, and footmen. How could he have lost the child so easily?

Song Jiarang asked Song Jianuo: "Why did Arong invite you to see the lanterns? He has never invited you before."

Unlike the old lady, as the wife of a third-ranking official, Mrs. Xiao Ji is aware of the affairs in the capital. When the noble concubine in the palace was demoted to the position of a concubine, the Xingguo Marquis Mansion, her natal family, also became fearful. Queen Han went to chant Buddhist scriptures, and it is unknown how Consort Zhang is doing. As for her husband, he has sent Song Jiayan to the temple. Mrs. Xiao Ji doesn't dare to ask about Consort Zhang's well-being.

Do you know?

Madam Xiao Ji said, "Appointing a side concubine is not a trivial matter after all. I heard that the Empress is also highly respected in the Crown Prince's residence. The Second Prince's residence must hold a banquet to celebrate."

Song Rong didn't hesitate and said, "Alright, go back and pack your luggage. Tomorrow, I will have someone send you the identity card of the Guozijian." Seeing Du Jun's embarrassment, Song Rong spoke gently, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I've also asked for help from others when I was studying at the Guozijian. In one's lifetime, there are many times when we need to ask for help from others. Do you feel that asking me for help is humiliating?"

Song Rong asked Song Jia privately again, "Did Li Rui send the letter back?"

Du Jun bid farewell to his sister reluctantly.

At the street corner, the bustling scene of the lamp market is already visible. Xin Zhusheng ordered someone to buy several masks, and the young ladies and maidservants all got off the carriage, each wearing a wooden mask on their faces.

Song Rong sent Song Jiayan to the temple, Lady Wu'anhou was extremely anxious, hastily sent someone to the Song family to invite them, and agreed to come over tomorrow.

Song Rong looked at his daughter's smiling fox-like face as she left, very suspicious of whether Song Jia could successfully escape, which had a great deal to do with Song Jia Yan.

On the second day, Song Jiano took out a box of lake pens. Song Jia ordered someone to bring out two pots of water lilies. Song Jia asked to add a dagger, and then ordered the steward to send them over with two clever servants.

Song Rong is working in the yamen, so he is naturally not at home. It was also fortunate that Xiao Ji was invited by the Cheng'en Duke's Mansion to attend a banquet, and this time Xiao Ji learned to behave and did not bring Song Jiayu along. When the gatekeeper saw that the consort of the imperial prince's mansion had arrived, he was at a loss, but fortunately there were rules to follow, so he quickly ran inside to report.

Consort Wan Gui was demoted. In the words of Emperor Zhao Wen, she was "arrogant and lacking in decorum, unworthy of the position of Noble Consort."

Li Rui and Song Jiayan were discussing the matter of heading south. On the other hand, Song Jiayan and Qin Zheng were also having a pleasant conversation. The two have been good friends for a long time. Song Jiayan has been away in Fujian for almost half a year. Although he has visited Qin Zheng after returning, there are still many things to talk about at this meeting.

As Xiaoji was not finished speaking, Song Rong had already seen through her thoughts and said directly, "No. The fact that Yan Jie'er can go is due to the blessings left by your elder sister."

Looking at the beautiful face of Han Fei Qiao Xiao Qianxi, Wan Gui Fei was burning with anger and immediately slapped Han Fei.

Song Rong smiled faintly and said, "I don't think so. Since I was young, I have always hoped to be able to shelter my family from the wind and rain in the future. I hope that when my family encounters difficulties, I can solve them for them without causing them to worry or bow their heads to others. I have always been proud of this." Glancing at Du Jun, Song Rong smiled and said, "If you feel ashamed, then study hard at the Imperial College. There is an annual examination at the Imperial College. If you fail the examination next year, I will not greet people on your behalf anymore."

Du Jun immediately said, "I will study hard and will never let down the expectations of the adults." In the Guozijian, it is customary to study for three years. However, there are exams every year, and those who perform poorly will be expelled from the Guozijian. If I still can't pass the entrance exam after studying at the Guozijian for a year, Du Jun will be too ashamed to come and find Song Rong."

Qin Zheng smiled, nodded, and said, "Oh, I understand."

Han Fei also couldn't be bothered with these things. As for Concubine Zhang Ce, she went out of the palace under the guise of the Second Prince. First, she went to her mother's house, said a few words, and then took a carriage to the Song Mansion.

Li Ruida: "Yan Meimei's birthday is on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Since they have given him a birthday gift, he should also give a return gift.

Lady Wu'an Hou agreed.

In the breeze of May, Consort Zhang and a group of maids, matrons, attendants, and guards from the Second Prince's residence experienced an unprecedented event... They were actually... sent off with great respect.

Song Jiarang has always been carefree, and he said with a smile, "Ah Zheng, you just take it. You never know when someone will come looking for it. This is your good fortune."

No problem, as soon as spring comes, the winter jasmine in her courtyard blooms. In summer, there are roses all around the veranda. In autumn, there are chrysanthemums. And in winter, there are narcissus flowers. Li Si and Song Jiayan are good friends, always chattering away. "So," they said, "she never uses incense in her house."

Song Jiayan kowtowed to Reverend Lao Mei.

Song Rong did not console Xiao Ji, and said coldly, "In the future, we must never have any contact with the Zhang family, and we must not allow anyone from the Zhang family to enter our house!"

Song Rong smiled and said, "Father-in-law, rest assured."

Since the founding of the Emperor Taizu, this is the first time such a tragedy has occurred, where a palace concubine forced the daughter-in-law to death.

Qin Zheng accompanied these two old ladies in conversation, and before he knew it, it was already noon.

My father wants me to take the martial arts imperial examination, but I have no chance to do so. Song Jiarang complained.

Stay at home. It means that Consort Zhang has been promoted to the official position of the prince's consort. Song Rong does not need to bow to the Zhang family. He is indeed a sociable person, but he still has principles and integrity. He will consider Jiayu and Jianuo's face and tolerate some of Xiaoji's actions. Similarly, Jiaren and Jiayan are his children, and he will never let Lady Wu'anhou feel embarrassed.

The Qin family has always been reserved and did not hold a celebration. However, everyone in the family looks exceptionally beautiful. The old Shangshu of the Qin family rewarded the servant who brought the good news and said to Qin Zheng, "You have made great progress in the past year. If it weren't for Zixi's wholehearted guidance, how could you have achieved what you have today? Ask your grandmother to prepare a gift for you, and go there now."

Li Rui looked at two pots of pure and lively narcissus, and casually asked, "What did she use to fragrance the house for me?"

Li Rui smiled and said, "Sister is right." Then he had someone move the flowers to his room and turned to write a letter.

Do you think passing the imperial examination is as easy as a single try? Throughout history, the imperial examination has always been a fierce competition. Song Rong has long been planning for this. He said, "I'm not worried about your elder brother's martial arts skills, but he needs to work hard on his literary skills. The imperial examination for martial arts is also held once every three years. If he fails three times, it will take ten years. We can't afford to waste that much time."

Coming out of the study, Qin Zheng went back to his room to rest.

Song Jiayan busily gestured and advised, "Father, at least we know where Big Brother is going. Don't be upset. Your anger is making Grandma worry." He also reassured Grandma, "Grandma, don't worry. Last year, Big Brother went out to sea on a big ship, and nothing happened. And, Big Brother mentioned in his letter that he will write regularly. Let him go on his journey if he wants. When he gets tired of traveling, he will realize the benefits of being at home." And, Big Brother mentioned in his letter that he will write regularly. Let him go on his journey if he wants. When he gets tired of traveling, he will realize the benefits of being at home.

Han Fei did not rush to apologize. After listening to Concubine Wan's words, Han Fei asked with a puzzled look, "I don't know what the Empress Mother is referring to? Your daughter-in-law really doesn't know what is inappropriate among the concubines in the palace."

Qin Zheng and his group arrived at the meeting point at about the same time as Li Rui's group. They exchanged a few words before the Song family arrived. As the carriage approached, Qin Zheng and Li Rui both saw Song Jia Yan on the horse. Without prior agreement, they said in unison, "Miss Yan, you look stunning today!"

However, the husband is unreliable, while Consort Wanguifei has two sons, the second prince and the third prince, both of whom are born to her. Moreover, the current Xingguo Marquis is the elder brother of Consort Wanguifei.

After returning home, Xiaoji learned that Concubine Zhang had come to visit, but was stopped by Song Jiayan at the gate and not allowed to enter. Xiaoji was extremely dizzy. Although Song Rong did not want her to see Concubine Zhang, but since the imperial prince's concubine had come to the doorstep, how could she be so rude to her?

Qin Zheng was involved in the case. He did not hold a banquet for outsiders at home, but he arranged two tables of wine for the insiders to celebrate, just a small gesture to Xiao He.

Of course, Song Jiarang did not disappear alone. He was accompanied by his personal servant, Fang Zicheng, riding his own horse, carrying his own knife, and with enough clothes. This looks like he ran away from home.

Regarding the matter of the inner courtyard, Qin Fei pondered deeply but could only smile and say, "Brother, what you said is indeed suspicious."

Now, Xiaoji has also become clever and said with a smile: "If the master wants me to go, I will go. If the master doesn't want me to go, I won't go."

Song Jiayan refused to give her this face, and asked in surprise, "Cousin? The Song family has never had any relationship with the Zhang family. Your Majesty's cousin, I wonder who it refers to?" Song Jiayan showed no courtesy!

Having received the letter from Song Jiarang, Song Rongfang felt relieved. Unable to conceal the matter, he disclosed it to the old lady that evening. Without waiting for the old lady to cry and beg for her grandson, Song Rong was furious and exclaimed, "Once I catch that scoundrel, I will skin him alive!"

Song Jiayan directly hit Qin Zheng's head, causing a big bump, and said to him, "If you continue like this, I will be angry."

As he had not heard from Song Jia, Qin Zheng listened to the old lady's account of Uncle Song's past. Qin Zheng was a patient man and occasionally interjected a few words, which further excited the old lady. Even Aunt Xin, who was admiring Qin Zheng's handsome and courteous appearance, was also delighted.

Song Jiayan used his own money. He gave the majority to Li Rui to do business, and kept a small amount as his private savings. When Song Jiayan left, he gave the remaining savings to Song Jiarang. Now, Song Rong sent a box of small gold ingots, which is worth at least fifty taels of silver, or even five hundred taels if exchanged for silver. Song Jiayan was very happy and took out a small gold ingot weighing five taels, and ordered the servant to exchange it for loose silver and copper coins for daily use.

小纪氏低声道: "I feel uncomfortable in my heart." Although Chapter Cefei came uninvited, she definitely came for her. Now that Song Jiayan has been sent to the nunnery, if it is said that it has nothing to do with her, no one can believe it.

Qin Zheng greeted his grandmother and mother, saying, "I forgot to bring some of my schoolwork essays. The servants didn't know, and I'm afraid they might take the wrong ones, so I came back for a visit."

Song Rong did not allow Xiao Ji to go and meet Concubine Zhang. The invitation for the banquet arranged by the Second Prince's Mansion for Concubine Zhang was still sent to the Song Mansion. Although Song Rong holds a prominent position in the court, being a third-ranking official in the capital city is not considered significant. It was just a formality for someone to deliver a gift, so Xiao Ji excused herself from attending due to illness.

On weekdays, when acting arrogantly at home, facing the royal family, there is a natural respect for the royal family. The old lady is somewhat timid and hesitantly asks, "They are from the royal family, can we handle them? Yan, should we welcome them? Let's not lose our manners." It is truly a case of troubles coming from heaven while sitting at home.

Qin Zheng moved to the Zhuangzi's place to review his studies because he couldn't concentrate on studying at home due to the noisy environment while preparing for the provincial examination.

Song Jiayan comforted his grandmother and said with a smile: "Grandmother, don't worry. Our family doesn't know anyone with the surname Zhang. I'll go and send her away."

Song Rong was also very angry that Concubine Zhang came without an invitation. What does she take the Song family for? He privately rewarded Song Jiayan with a box of small gold ingots.

Consort Zhang has already been executed," Song Rong said, and then he walked away.

By evening, Song Rong had not returned home, but Du Jun had arrived.

It is rare for Tai Chi master Lao Mei to have contact with members of the royal family, but she comes from a very prestigious background. Although Lao Mei's hermitage is well-known in the imperial capital, no one dares to disturb her. It is unclear how Song Rong managed to send his daughter to Lao Mei's hermitage.

Song Rongdao: "It's my turn to go and pay respects to my mother-in-law."

Before Song Jiayan could speak, Song Rong said, "Let the children take care of it themselves."

Song Jiayan agreed and the two had nothing more to say. Song Jiayan then took his leave.

The two women, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, both smiled when they saw Qin Zheng: "Why are you back? Weren't you studying at Zhuangzi's place?"

Their siblings are the same, and there are two taels of silver for monthly expenses in January. These two taels of silver are enough for an ordinary family of four to live on for a month. However, when it comes to the household, it is barely enough to reward the servants, and no one really relies on these two taels of silver to make a living. Song Jiayan and Song Jiarang have subsidies from the Lady of Wu'an Marquis, and Song Rong occasionally gives them some pocket money. Song Jiayan said that Song Jiayan promised to have Xiao Ji take care of them. Of course, Xin Zhuzheng is now also taken care of by Xiao Ji. As for Xin Zhusheng, Song Rong will not mistreat him.

Song Jiayi walked away with a smile.

Du Yuerong heard her younger brother say that he passed the scholar exam, and she was so happy that she burst into tears. She touched her brother's face and said, "After you go back, buy a pig's head to offer to our parents, and burn incense for them on their memorial tablet, so that our parents can be happy even in the afterlife."

Song Jiarangdao: "Yes, always staying in the capital, what fun is there!"

When Qin Zheng left, Song Rong was not at home.

Song Rong has reluctantly accepted Song Jia's proposal to travel now, as long as his son is safe, he will not pursue the matter any further.

No problem, I have no relationship with Li Qing. It's up to the children to decide whether they want to socialize or not.Song Rong put on airs, took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and said, "Li family, you don't have to pay attention."

Chapter Concubine has done such a shameful thing, and even the Empress Dowager knew about it the next day. Although the Empress Dowager is not fond of the Song family, she wouldn't miss such a great opportunity. The Empress Dowager took the opportunity to criticize Noble Concubine Wan, saying, "You are already a grandmother, and your second son is already a father. How can you still be so reckless? Even if she is just a side concubine, she holds the official rank of fourth grade, and her position cannot be easily granted to anyone. Such an ignorant servant, it's better to keep her from going out and embarrassing herself."

It's time for lunch, it's really embarrassing not to keep the guest, especially a likable young man like Qin Zheng.

Xin Zhuzheng was slightly surprised and said, "Isn't it the most talented scholar who can be called the head of the case?" It's really impressive.

It's just being overly affectionate. We are not children anymore, we must be careful about gender relations. Song Jiayan has always been straightforward. Seeing Qin Zheng like this, she immediately decided to cut the Gordian knot.

Song Rong raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a faint smile, "The natal family of a side consort has limited usefulness." The second prince has already reached this point, Noble Consort Wan has been demoted to a concubine, Consort Han has gone to chant Buddhist scriptures, and Consort Zhang has been given poisoned wine. Even if the second prince is a useless fool, after all, he is the biological son of Emperor Zhaowen. If the Cheng'en Duke's residence continues to confront the second prince, they will end up shooting themselves in the foot.

It should be noted that opposite sexes attract. Even though most young ladies may conceal themselves with various masks, they still attract many young men, each with their own thoughts, without saying a word. Therefore, this lantern festival is particularly bustling and lively.

Miss Xiao Ji, despite feeling sad and wronged, quickly responded: "Yes, I understand. Rest assured, sir, I will make sure they won't come in again."

There's no need for you to say it, I never treated him as an outsider. Song Rong likes people with self-esteem. At such a young age, experiencing these setbacks, if it weren't for this strong sense of self-esteem, perhaps Du Jun wouldn't have been able to persist until now.

Early in the morning, Song Rong had already taken his wife and children to offer incense to his deceased wife. Then, Song Rong went to the palace to attend a banquet, and Song's elderly mother and Xiaoji also went to the palace to pay respects to the empress dowager and attend the banquet together.

Song Rong does not want to talk much about this matter. He said, "It's late at night, let's go to sleep."

Du Jun did not go to see his sister.

Song Jiayan smiled and said, "Second brother, when you grow up a bit more, ask father to get you a pony that you can ride. Once you become familiar with riding the pony, when it grows up to become a horse, you can ride the horse without any problems. This horse will be your own, so don't let anyone else ride it on ordinary days."

Song Jianuo smiled cleverly: "I come to accompany my grandmother to talk every day, and my grandmother doesn't hold a grudge against my eldest brother. People say that a good man aspires to travel far and wide. I used to hear my grandmother say that my father went to the county and prefecture to take the imperial examination when he was twelve years old."

Du Junxiao nodded in agreement.

After exchanging greetings, Song Jiayan drove his horse to Li Rui's side and asked, "Are you all ready?"

Song Rong didn't say a word. As soon as he heard about the incident of Wan Guifei forcing her daughter-in-law to death, he quickly contacted the nunnery and sent Song Jiayan in, repeatedly instructing her: "My good daughter, our family is innocent in this matter. However, when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat are affected. To be safe, you should first stay on the mountain and pray for a few days, avoid the rumors, and wait for some time before returning home."

Song Jiayan once again bowed and said loudly, "Your servant respectfully escorts the consort." The maids and servants below had already received Song Jiayan's instructions and also shouted, "We respectfully escort the consort."

You handle it.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very pleased and said, "Okay, go ahead."

Qin Zheng rushed to the Song family to deliver gifts. Qin Shangshu was pleased and stroked his beard, saying, "Ah Zheng has achieved much more than I did at his age. I only became a scholar at the age of 22."

The Noble Consort Wan was burning with anger, and her strength was quite strong. She had sharp finger guards on her fingers, and the finger guards scratched the face of Consort Han, leaving a few traces of blood. Consort Han was slapped and without saying a word, she twisted her body and hit her head on the carved armrest of Noble Consort Wan's throne, immediately causing blood to flow all over her face and fainting.

Because he is the grandson of Cheng'en Gong's family, this matter is well known in the capital, even the Empress Dowager praised Consort Qin's virtue in the palace. Both Song Rong and the former Minister Qin are pleased with this.

The old lady sighed deeply and said, "My grandson, Nuo, is still the best."

Li Rui nodded: "We will set off tomorrow. You should take care of the matters in the shop."

Grandmother can rest assured.

A tone of confusion and uncertainty in the letter, expressing one's fear and unease about Song Jia's decision to leave home, in order to clear oneself of suspicion.

Song Jiayan came to Madam's house after Qin Zheng left. Madam said, "Girl, do you know that Qin Jiazeng has been implicated in the case?"

Consort Hui, the lady has gone to the Duke Cheng'en's mansion to attend the banquet.

Qin Zheng has always been careful, holding the little doll on his lap, wiping away his tears, and feeding him a yuanxiao. The little doll, comforted by him, stopped crying and obediently started eating the yuanxiao.

Qin Fei smiled and said, "What a coincidence." As she spoke, a small package was presented by a maid. "It's from me, my eldest brother, and my second brother, for you."

Song Rong smiled and said, "I was just thinking of troubling my mother-in-law. As you know, my mother rarely goes out and is not familiar with the young ladies of other families. If it's not too much trouble, I would like to ask my mother-in-law to help my younger brother take a look. If there is a suitable girl, please let me know. My younger brother has a straightforward personality, and as long as my mother-in-law approves, I have no objections. However, I would like to ask my mother-in-law to avoid the wives and relatives of the princes." Song Rong did not mention Xiao Ji Shi at all in his words. This was not only because he did not trust her, but also because he intended to entrust the marriage of Song Jia Rang to his in-laws, which would save a lot of trouble in the future.

Of course, Han Fei did not die, but was quickly moved to the Cining Palace by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager cried to her son, "The wives of several children were carefully selected by both of us. Over the years, there has been no mistake. When others marry their daughters into our royal family, it is to show the exemplary nature of our royal family to the world. Empathizing with others, I treat these granddaughter-in-laws as granddaughters, rewarding and disciplining them as appropriate. Even to your concubines, I have never spoken a harsh word. Wanfei has served by your side for so many years, how could she treat that child like this... I know, she blames me. I didn't say much, just that the concubine of the second prince acted inappropriately. I told her to remind the second prince to properly manage the concubine and not to lose the royal face. Wanfei has served by your side for so many years, how could she treat that child like this... I know, she blames me. I didn't say much, just that the concubine of the second prince acted inappropriately. I told her to remind the second prince to properly manage the concubine and not to lose the royal face..." The Empress Dowager burst into tears again as she spoke.

Song Jiayan was surprised to hear that it was Consort Zhan. She still didn't know when Consort Shu would be promoted. While pondering over this, Madam Song became anxious and grabbed her granddaughter's hand, asking her, "Why did the consort from the prince's residence come to our house? What is she here for?"

Ms. Xiao's face turned pale in an instant.

Lord Cheng En, you need not think this way. If it weren't for encountering the Qin family, perhaps this child would not have survived. Smiling at the old Shangshu of the Qin family, he said, "The entire capital knows that the old Shangshu has a method of teaching his children and guiding his grandchildren. Now, seeing your grandson speak eloquently and behave appropriately, I can't help but envy him."

As expected by Concubine Han, despite the fact that the women in the palace cannot leave for years, their information is not slow at all. The birth mother of the Second Prince, Noble Consort Wan, was an old person in the hidden residence of Emperor Zhaowen. Later, when Emperor Zhaowen ascended the throne, he conferred the title of Noble Consort on her for giving birth to two sons. However, even though she had been a Noble Consort for many years, she was unable to ascend to a higher rank even after the Empress died.

Mr. Xiao Ji's face stiffened, and Song Jia said again, "Father will not blame me."

If we talk about which family's girl was sent to the temple, it is definitely not a good reputation, but Lao Mei An is an exception among exceptions. Lao Mei An is the residence of the aunt of the current emperor, Princess Yide Dachang, who is a legitimate relative! As long as Song Jiayan stays in Lao Mei An for a day or two, his worth will immediately change upon his return!

Song Jiayan said: "Big brother, you won't be able to pursue the civil servant path in the future. If you want to advance as a military officer, you must have military achievements. The fastest way to achieve military achievements is on the border. It wouldn't be a bad idea for big brother to go to the Western Barbarians and the Northern Liang for a while."

As a result, Song Jiarang disappeared after leaving.

Song Jiarang had the demeanor of an elder brother. He said, "Stay close and don't get lost. Don't just look at the lanterns. Maids, stay close to your young ladies. Servants, stay close to your masters. Arnau and Arong, be careful not to be kidnapped by kidnappers." Every year, children are lost in the lantern market.

Everyone returned home in a lively and bustling manner. When I arrived home, both my grandmother and my wife had already gone to bed. I inquired about my father and learned that Song Rong had gone out and had not yet returned. So, we all went to rest.

On the second day, someone delivered a letter to the house.

The old lady has a kind motherly heart, but she was very displeased after hearing it. She immediately said to her eldest son: "Tomorrow, write another letter to the second son and add my words. The Fang family is not allowed to torture the second son anymore. What's wrong with being a little fat? That's called a blessed state." Marrying such a shrew has really made her youngest son suffer.

Farewell to the Imperial Concubine!

Madam Qin smiled and said, "I have prepared it early." My grandson is much more successful than the old man. The more I look at him, the more promising he becomes. Madam Qin said, "Our families have a close relationship. Don't forget to pay respects to Madam Song when you go." She had already guessed that her grandson would pass the provincial examination, so she prepared the gift in advance.

In Qin Zheng's eyes, a hint of smile flashed. What's uncomfortable is that the girl rarely gets sick all year round. She might have guessed the reason and didn't go to the Cheng'en Mansion. Qin Zheng urged, "In the future, don't go to the Cheng'en Mansion with your mother." In a big family, even if there are hidden secrets, it's not so inexplicable to lose a child like this.
