Old Madam Song's throat choked. Song Yiyan had said all the good and bad things. She could only suppress her anger and force a smile, praising him, "I like it. Even Great Grandmother likes it when Brother Yan gave it to her. You are such a thoughtful child."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to pull Yan Ge'er to her side, pretending to be close to him.

Song Yiyan was somewhat resistant and dodged without leaving a trace.

"As long as Great Grandmother likes it, I'm glad. I heard that wearing this Buddhist beads all year round can prolong one's life, so Great Grandmother, you must wear it all the time." Song Yiyan still looked well-behaved.

The disgust on Old Madam Song's face disappeared in an instant, and she quickly put the Buddhist beads on her wrist.

Only then did he smile with joy and praise with understanding: "Well, Brother Yan is really thoughtful."

Song Yiyan lowered his eyes, hiding the disgust in his eyes, and said obediently: "If there is such a thing that can prolong life in the future, I will give it to my great-grandmother first. I wish her a long life!"

This statement came out.

Only then did Old Madam Song relax her brows and burst into laughter.

The haze just now dissipated in an instant.

She smiled and asked Song Yiyan: "What gifts did you bring back from the palace?"

Song Yiyan stretched out his fingers, counting them, and said, "The Empress gave me a longevity lock, the Concubine Xian gave me a pair of fine gold and jade bracelets, and the Emperor gave me a box of gold and silver jewelry, as well as all the favorite jewelry of the concubines in the palace. These are very suitable for mother. I sent them all to her courtyard, and kept a jade pendant for myself."

Old Madam Song's eyes widened as she heard this.

God knows she was thinking about the things that came out of the palace.

"Is there no one else suitable for Grandmother?" Old Madam Song asked again unwillingly.

After Song Yiyan thought seriously for a moment, he stared at the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "Only this string of Buddhist beads is suitable."

That’s it for now.

Old Madam Song looked away disappointedly.

"If you want to follow the young master into the palace again in the future, bring your elder brother with you. This way you can get a lot of gifts from the nobles in the palace." Old Lady Song's eyes lit up.

Song Yiyan pursed his lips, a look of displeasure slowly creeping onto his face.

Liu Yueru sneered and said, "Grandma, these things in human relations are always in and out. What others have given you must be returned. We can't just act like a Pixiu, taking in nothing and letting others look down on us."

Old Madam Song understands this logic!

It's just that Jin Ge'er is Liu Yueru's legitimate son. Even if Jin Ge'er accepts the child himself, the favor should be repaid on Liu Yueru's head.

Mother Chen saw the predicament of Old Madam Song and tried to smooth things over: "Madam, the old lady didn't mean that. It's just that things from the palace are always hard to buy outside. Taking them out can also earn some face for the Marquis' Mansion."

"Yes, tomorrow I will wear those rewards from the palace and walk around outside to earn more face for our mansion. Let's see if I can dispel the rumors about our mansion outside!" Liu Yueru looked at Old Madam Song with a smile.

Old Madam Song’s face suddenly turned dark!

Now is the time when the Marquis' Mansion needs Liu Yueru to come out and save face, so they have no choice but to endure it.

Madam Song tried her best to keep a smile on her face: "You have a lot of ideas. Think about how to help the Marquis' Mansion get through this difficult time. Nan Zhi was almost transferred to another department to do odd jobs today. If this continues, the status of the Marquis' Mansion will be lost."

Liu Yueru's eyes were slightly cold. When she looked up at Song Nanzhi, there was a hint of expectation in her cold eyes.

"Grandmother, you don't know that my husband has made friends with noble people above him. He was able to find out about Liu Mansion's expulsion from the Imperial College right away. Why would a woman like me have to figure out a solution? I think my husband has also thought of a solution for this turmoil, right?"

What Liu Yueru said was so sincere that Song Nanzhi almost believed it. He nodded in surprise.

"Since there is nothing else, my granddaughter-in-law will leave first." Liu Yueru stood up and walked out of Nanxi Hall quickly with Song Yiyan.

When he walked out, the coldness in his eyes instantly emerged, and his fierceness was not concealed at all!

"Madam! I heard from the people at the farm that Aunt Yuan, she, she ran away." The servant ran in hurriedly from outside.

Madam Song, who already looked unhappy, raised her hand and slammed the table hard after hearing this, angrily scolding: "How can this be absurd? That lowly girl was told to reform herself at the farm, but she dared to sneak away!"

"Go find her, search all the capital and bring her back to me. If she dies out there, that's all. But if she's targeted by some bad people and tarnishes the reputation of the Marquisate, I'll skin her alive!"

Seeing that it was already late at night, Song Nanzhi suddenly stood up and said, "I'll help look for it too."

"Go quickly." Old Madam Song raised her hand and rubbed her brows. The Marquis' Mansion really couldn't stand any more disturbance.

After coming out of the Marquis' Mansion.

Song Nanzhi came to a villa in the suburbs of Beijing.

When I was about to push the door, I heard the faint suppressed crying of a woman from inside.

Song Nanzhi looked at the door and saw that the lock had been opened, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The woman's crying stopped abruptly, and she asked hurriedly, "Who is it?"

"I, Song Nanzhi!" Song Nanzhi's voice was cold.

Yuan Qinglian reached out to wipe the tears from her face, patted the dust off her linen clothes, raised her hand to pick up the straw ears from her hair, and then hurried to the door.

He asked carefully, "Yes, Brother Nan?"

"Open the door!" Song Nanzhi obviously had no patience and said coldly.

Yuan Qinglian was delighted and quickly opened the door.

Song Nanzhi looked at the disheveled Yun Qinglian in front of him. He had only been at the farm for a few days and had aged several years due to being worn out. He was dark and old, and there was a faint unpleasant stench emanating from his body!

"How did you get into this state?" Song Nanzhi covered his nose and quickly hid in the small courtyard from the side.

This was where Yuan Qinglian and Jin'er stayed temporarily before returning to the Marquis' Mansion.

The furnishings inside were still the same as when Song Nanzhi took them back home.

Yuan Qinglian closed the door tightly, then turned around and followed Song Nanzhi into the yard.

Before Song Nanzhi could open his mouth to question her, she suddenly knelt down beside him and said, "Ah, Brother Nan, I didn't mean to sneak out. I just heard that Jin'er was severely punished by Madam and is now dying. I want to see Jin'er. How dare those people outside describe him as an unforgivable sinner? Jin'er is usually so innocent, how could he do such a thing?"

She suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "This must be Madam's doing. She is determined to destroy Jin'er! Ah, Brother Nan, please think of a way to save Jin'er."

Before Yun Qinglian could finish her words, Song Nanzhi raised his foot and kicked her hard in the chest.

"boom!"

"Ah!" Yuan Qinglian bumped into the wall, covering her heart in pain, and looked at the man in disbelief who used to lie on the bed and say he loved her, but now he is so cruel to her!

"You still have the nerve to say that. If it weren't for the things you did, the Marquis' Mansion wouldn't be in its current state. Jin'er has it all his own fault." Song Nanzhi's face turned ashen.

Yuan Qinglian wanted to step forward to explain.

Song Nanzhi took a few steps back. The stench on her body was unbearable for him: "Stay away from me..."
