The wife of the Marquis of Jinnan only gave birth to a pair of children, and her son has never married. She feels sorry for the ancestors of the Song family.

Although Jinnanbo's illegitimate children respected her very much, and the concubines were relatively easy to get along with.

But she had a son, but in the end there was no heir, which she really couldn't accept, even if Song Chengan had a daughter.

Concubine Ning looked confident, "From the anger and hatred on Minister Mo's face, I'm afraid it's probably true."

Lady Jinnan almost cried, "If Princess Yu is really the daughter of Cheng'an, it can be regarded as God's mercy to him and me."

She liked Rongqing very much back then, but because of the difference in their family backgrounds, she was afraid of wronging Rongqing and wanted to treat her like a daughter after marriage.

It's a pity that Rong Qing prefers elegant scholars and doesn't like rough warriors who wield swords and guns, so nothing good happened in the end.

Concubine Ning was full of hope. "Sister Qing has divorced Minister Mo, and my eldest brother has never married. Maybe they still have a chance."

Because the Duke of Jinnan was originally a subordinate of the Duke of Fuguo, the two families often visited each other after returning to Shengjing, and she had called Rong Qing sister since she was a child.

It is precisely because of this that Song Chengan fell deeply in love with Rong Qing. They were obviously childhood sweethearts, but they were not destined to be together.

Lady Jinnanbo sighed, "I'm afraid it's gone. On Miss Rong's birthday a few days ago, all the gifts we sent were returned."

They had already informed Song Cheng'an of Rongqing's divorce through a family letter, and the latter mentioned Rongqing's birthday gift in his reply.

Although the gift was delivered by servants from the Jinnan Earl's Mansion, it was chosen by Song Cheng'an according to Rong Qing's preferences and he asked them to buy it.

After the gift was returned, the hearts of the Jinnanbo couple sank, and they dared not mention the matter in their subsequent letters home.

Concubine Ning disagreed, "But it's different now. If Princess Yu is really my eldest brother's daughter, there will be a bond between them."

The wife of the Jinnan Earl was already tempted, "That's right, after the palace banquet, I will go back and talk to your father and investigate this matter secretly."

She stayed in Yuxiu Palace for a short time before leaving. Concubine Ning then gave some instructions to Cuiping, her personal maid who came into the palace as a dowry.

Cuiping took the order and summoned all the palace servants who had been following Concubine Ning, and told them to follow the rules.

What Mo Yun and Rong Qing said tonight must not be spread out, otherwise it would affect too many people from inside the palace to outside.

Cui Ping finally threatened, "In this deep palace, the death of a person is just a small matter, you guys better take care of yourself."

House of Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.

The eunuch finally sent Mo Yun back.

Madam Mo has attended many palace banquets and knows when they end.

When he learned that it was the eunuch who sent him back, he immediately had a bad feeling.

Just as she was about to ask the maid to help her to the front yard, someone came to report that a eunuch was coming to Yishou Hall.

The eunuch pinched his throat, his voice was sharper than a woman's, and he conveyed Concubine Ning's meaning with an expressionless face.

"Madam, Lord Mo was drunk and spoke rudely to Concubine Ning. Please tell him the truth after he sobers up."

"W-what?" Madam Mo had been ill for a long time and was so frightened that she almost fainted. "You said something rude?"

The eunuch naturally had no sympathy for her and told her the truth, "Lord Mo called the Empress by her name in public, and his tone was extremely unfriendly."

"Yun'er must have been a little drunk. Please, sir, explain to the queen on your behalf. In a few days, my mother and I will go to the palace to apologize."

Madam Mo signaled the maid to bribe the eunuchs, saying that although ministers and ladies of honor would have to pay New Year's greetings to the Emperor and Empress tomorrow, ministers were not allowed to enter the harem.

The eunuch refused to accept it. "I have no say in this matter. You should handle it on your own. I should return to the palace to report."

Madam Mo walked over tremblingly, "Eunuch, I don't ask for your explanation, but I've made such a hard trip, this is what you deserve."

She took the change from the maid's hand and seemed to force it on the eunuch, but in fact the eunuch was just being polite.

The eunuch got the benefit and left quickly. Madam Mo then, with the help of her maid, went to look for Mo Yun with great difficulty.

Mo Yun did not go to Lan Ruyu's courtyard to rest, but was in his own courtyard in the front yard, sitting in the main hall in a daze.

He came to his senses when he heard that the old lady had come. Without her saying anything, he knew that she came about Concubine Ning's matter.

The old lady asked angrily, "Yun'er, what's going on? Are you really drunk, or are you stimulated by something? Is it because of Rong Qing?"

Mo Yun smiled bitterly. As expected, the eunuch, after receiving Concubine Ning's instructions, would tell the old lady the truth and make her anxious.

He sighed helplessly, "My mother really understands me. It was because I met her and mentioned what happened back then that I offended Concubine Ning by my words."

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother. Although the old lady favors Mo Tao, she is not indifferent to Mo Yun and sometimes feels sorry for him.

"Since it is a slip of the tongue, then go to the palace to apologize to Concubine Ning and use being drunk as an excuse. Don't make a big deal out of it and affect your career."

Madam Mo has calmed down a lot during this journey. Now that there is no mistress in the mansion, she has to worry more about him.

"Mother, do you think that bitch is my daughter? I used to think she looked like Rong Qing, but now the more I look at her, the more she looks like that person."

Mo Yun could no longer tell whether he felt this way because he was too suspicious and had not let go of what happened in the past.

"No matter whether it is true or not, you married Rong Qing in a formal ceremony. As long as you insist that she is your daughter, who can snatch her away?"

Madam Mo cares more about the interests of the family than Mo Yun's personal feelings. Even if it were Mo Tao, she would still say the same thing.

"But I can't accept it. Why can Rong Qing give birth to someone else's child but fail to keep my child, which is a son."

Rong Qing became pregnant soon after her marriage. Unfortunately, when she was visiting the Imperial Garden with Concubine De in the palace, she had a miscarriage in order to protect Concubine De.

She was injured at that time, and although she was treated by the imperial physician, she did not get pregnant for many years. Until she became pregnant with Mo Zhaohua, that incident happened again.

It was precisely because she rarely got pregnant that Mo Yun took a gamble and let her give birth to the child, and at first he really raised the child as his own.

Later, Rong Qing became pregnant again, but something went wrong unexpectedly. She suddenly had bleeding from her lower body when she was six months pregnant and eventually gave birth to a stillborn baby.

Her health was not good to begin with, and it took her several years to recover. At that time, the relationship between her and Mo Yun changed, and she was never able to get pregnant again.

"This is fate. You two are destined to be apart. Even though you were more skilled than Rong Qing at first and won her heart, you still couldn't keep her in the end."

Madam Mo asked again, "However, do you know how your legitimate son died?"

"Mother is still suspicious of Ruyu?" Mo Yun frowned. He still didn't believe that it was Lan Ruyu who drugged Rong Qing.

"Just protect her." Madam Mo had argued with him in her early years, but he wouldn't listen, so she didn't want to argue anymore.
