The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

When Lord Song saw Ning Ziqing walking straight up to him, he said sharply, "Song Yaman murdered my mother and second brother back then. How could your Song family stay out of it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the faces of the Song family members suddenly changed. Madam Song hurriedly explained, "Princess Azhao is very observant. The poisoning was entirely done by Song Yaman alone. We in the Song family are completely unaware of it!"

As she spoke, she anxiously glanced at Lord Song beside her.

Lord Song was stunned by Ning Ziqing's words. After a long while, he pretended to be calm and said, "Princess Azhao, we really knew nothing about what happened back then. Now that the truth has been revealed and Song Yaman has confessed her guilt, her crime should be borne by her alone. It has nothing to do with our Song Mansion."

After hearing this, Ning Ziqing sneered and looked at Lord Song coldly: "Lord Song, are you trying to distance yourself from Song Yaman? Don't forget, before she married into the Ning Marquis's Mansion, she was the daughter of your Song family. She committed such a heinous crime, shouldn't the Song family give us an explanation?"

Lord Song's expression tensed. He looked at Ning Ziqing's cold face and couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

Could it be that she really intended to hold the Song family responsible?

Lord Song was suddenly panicked.

The eldest son of the Song family on the side angrily refuted Ning Ziqing: "Princess Azhao, your words are biased. Song Yaman has taken the responsibility for the crime herself, and we in the Song family were not aware of it at the beginning. How can we implicate the entire family because of her mistake?"

Ning Zijun was furious when he heard this. He strode forward, glared at Young Master Song and shouted, "Even if Song Yaman pleads guilty, you, the Song family, can't get away with it!"

He turned and glanced at Lord Song with contempt: "Lord Song, I would like to ask you, what was the family tradition of the Song family in the past? How could they raise such a cruel and ruthless daughter?"

Lord Song was choked by these words and was speechless. His face turned red and white, and he was ashamed.

The gazes of everyone in the room were like thorns in his back, making him feel very uneasy and sweat ran down his face.

Outside the house, Mrs. Song's shouting and cursing were still harsh, and Mr. Song was even more panicked.

After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Ning Ziqing: "Princess Azhao, now that things have come to this, I dare not protect Song Yaman anymore. The Song family did neglect to discipline her back then, but my parents and grandmother are dead, and they know nothing about it. Since Song Yaman married into the Ning Marquis's Mansion, I have had very little contact with her, and I don't know what she has done over the years."

"If the princess insists on implicating the Song family, this old minister has nothing to say, but I ask for justice."

Lord Song's sincere attitude made people think that he was a fair and selfless official who would sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice. On the contrary, it made Ning Ziqing look like he was being unreasonable and deliberately making things difficult for the Song family.

However, Ning Ziqing was unmoved by his words and only thought they were ridiculous.

In the previous life, the reason why the Song mother and daughter were able to successfully attach themselves to Huo Yunhong and then help Ning Zilan ascend to the throne of queen was inseparable from the support and indulgence of the Song family.

Lord Song is acting like this now only because he sees that the Song family and Ning Zilan have no chance of recovery, so he wants to preserve the Song Mansion.

She has a clear mind and is taking a step back to advance. Lord Song is indeed a smart person.

It’s a pity that Ning Ziqing is not so easy to fool.

Ning Ziqing had a sneer on her lips, and finally stopped beating around the bush. Her eyes were like knives, piercing the Song family members and sternly said, "Sir Song, I will never let you go. How can I forgive the revenge of killing my mother? Are you really unaware of what Song Yaman has done to me and my eldest brother over the years?"

Lord Song was stunned for a moment, and Mrs. Song was even more frightened, with a look of fear on her face.

At this time, Jiang Quhan smiled faintly and said, "Sir Song, Ah Zhao's mother was murdered by your Miss Song, which left her alone and helpless, and she suffered a lot. With her current status, it would not be too much if I petitioned your Majesty to confiscate the entire Song family and exterminate the entire clan."

When Lord Song and the others heard this, they were so frightened that their souls left their bodies and their faces turned pale.

Mrs. Song knelt on the ground trembling, clutching the corner of Ning Ziqing's clothes tightly, and pleaded with her anxiously.

"Princess Azhao, please spare my life! We really didn't know that Song Yaman poisoned your mother. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. Please spare the Song family for our ignorance..."

"No matter how bad it is, for the sake of Yanyan and Ayu, you can't be so cruel to the Song family..."

Ning Ziqing shook her hand away in disgust, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"If you want to save your lives, you must agree to my conditions!"

Young Master Song was delighted and hurriedly helped Madam Song up. He asked nervously, "May I ask, Princess, what are the conditions?"

Ning Ziqing ordered someone to fetch pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and said solemnly: "You, the Song family, must personally write a statement of Song Yaman's crimes and submit it to the government."

Lord Song nodded in agreement without hesitation.

He would love nothing more than to be able to draw a clear line between himself and the Song family.

Ning Ziqing gave him a sarcastic look and continued, "Second, I want the eldest and second sons of your Song Mansion to separate immediately."

Madam Song was shocked and shouted, "Princess Azhao, our family is living well, why are you forcing us to separate?"

The eldest son of Song was even more furious and accused Ning Ziqing: "Princess Azhao, although my second brother and I are not born from the same mother, we have always lived in harmony over the years. Now that my second brother has just gotten married, you are forcing us to separate. This is too much!"

Hearing his accusation, Ning Ziqing snorted and laughed, and retorted: "Song Lan, if you say these words in front of your second brother Song Yu, how do you think he will feel?"

Young Master Song choked and could only look at Lord Song with embarrassment, who had a heavy expression on his face.

Lord Song carefully considered the conditions proposed by Ning Ziqing, and then he suddenly understood.

She did this most likely to avoid Cao Yanyan and Song Yu from being implicated.

Therefore, Lord Song quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. As long as the Song Mansion could be preserved, what was wrong with dividing the family?

Thinking of this, he decisively agreed: "Just as Princess Azhao said, we are willing to divide the family."

"Master, this is absolutely not allowed!"

Mrs. Song was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She grabbed Mr. Song's sleeve and tried to stop him, but Mr. Song shouted at her fiercely.

"As long as the Song family is safe and sound, we will still be a family after the separation. Don't say anything more!"

Mrs. Song fell silent unwillingly, hatred in her eyes.

Once the family was separated, she would no longer be able to interfere in all matters of Cao Yanyan and Song Yu and give them instructions as she did before.

If Song Yu is admitted to high school next year and Cao Yanyan is protected by Ning Ziqing, their status will far exceed that of the legitimate son.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Song was filled with anger and tears welled up in her eyes, but she could only bite her lower lip tightly and swallow back her tears.

But the next moment, Ning Ziqing said, "There is one more thing. After the separation, Lord Song needs to submit a letter of resignation and ask His Majesty to allow you to resign and retire. Bring your eldest son and his family back to your hometown to spend your old age in peace, and promise not to set foot in Kyoto again in this life. If you can do these three things, you can leave peacefully today."

"If not..." She paused, her voice full of threats, "Then we'll have to meet with the authorities!"

After hearing this, Lord Song and the other two were struck by lightning and looked at her in shock.

They couldn't believe that Ning Ziqing would be so determined.

This has pushed them into a dead end!

Madam Song was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Ning Ziqing and cursed, "You damned girl, you have such a cruel mind! Are you going to completely destroy our Song Mansion and force us to a dead end?"

Ning Zijun suddenly opened Madam Song's hand, and protected Ning Ziqing in front of him. He looked at the Song family members fiercely and shouted angrily: "If Qingqing hadn't thought of the relationship between Miss Cao and Song Yu, the fact that Song Yaman killed my mother and second brother would be enough for His Majesty to severely punish you, the Song family! What's more, the Su and Lin families are waiting for you to give an explanation! If you don't want to accept these conditions, then go to court with our three families and let the government and His Majesty decide the case!"

Mrs. Song and the others were intimidated by Ning Zijun's aura and were so frightened that they remained silent and dared not say anything more.

Ning Zijun suppressed his murderous intent, took Ning Ziqing by the hand and walked to Grandpa Fu, saying firmly: "Grandfather, you are not in good health, go back to the mansion to rest first. Leave the rest to Qingqing and me. We will definitely seek justice for A Niang and my second brother."

Mr. Fu was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement with satisfaction.

Afterwards, Ning Zijun and Lin Wanqiao saw everyone from the Lin family off.

After everyone in the hall left one after another, Huo Yunhong, with a gloomy face, also prepared to go home.

When he passed by Huo Yunjue, the other party laughed sarcastically and said, "Second brother, don't be so impulsive in the future. In broad daylight, you brought the palace soldiers to secretly break into the Ninghou Mansion. If this matter gets to the ears of the emperor, I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied with you again."

Huo Yunhong's face darkened, and he growled angrily, "Huo Yunjue, you knew the inside story a long time ago, and you even knew my father's will. This is clearly a trap set by you and Prince Qian, and you deliberately lured me to Ninghou Mansion to laugh at me!"

Huo Yunjue shook his head to deny it, pretending to be serious and reminding him: "Second brother, please don't talk nonsense. How dare I speculate on the will of the emperor? Don't wrongly accuse me."

There was no way Huo Yunhong would believe his lies. He glared at Huo Yunjue fiercely. Not wanting to get entangled with him anymore, he walked away angrily.

On the way back home, Huo Yunhong, who had been tricked for no apparent reason, pinched his nose in annoyance and had a terrible headache.

He just couldn't understand why Emperor Yao suddenly changed his mind when he had clearly agreed to the marriage.

Not only was today's plan completely disrupted, he also had to deal with the mess left behind by Song and Ning Zilan. Worse still, he had to go to the palace to explain to Emperor Yao why he had trespassed into Ning Hou's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Huo Yunhong felt exhausted, and the uneasiness in his heart became heavier.
