"Their child hurt someone, but they didn't even come to visit. They really don't take us seriously. I want to go too." Mrs. Chen held her handkerchief and her eyes were swollen from crying.

"I heard some time ago that the eldest young master of the Zhennan Marquis's Mansion is a cruel man. He thinks of all kinds of ways to torture his servants. He can do whatever he wants in his mansion, but now our son..." Mrs. Chen couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke.

"Yes, destroy his vitals and make him the same as me." Chen Mingyang said gritting his teeth.

"Shut up." Chen Huaide was so angry that he had no place to vent.

He ordered his servants to send Chen Mingyang back to the Chen Mansion.

He brought a group of people who were good at martial arts and arrived at the gate of Zhennan Marquis' Mansion in a menacing manner.

Outside the gate, there was a huge crowd of people.

Mother Chen hurriedly informed Old Madam Song of the incident: "The Minister of the Central Secretariat, Chen Huaide, brought a group of people and came angrily to look for the Crown Prince and the eldest young master."

"But can you tell me what it is about?" Old Madam Song was feeling unwell. Her originally round face had become much thinner, and her eye sockets were sunken.

Mother Chen hesitated and didn't dare to speak directly.

"Speak." Old Madam Song shouted with all her might.

Mother Chen then hurriedly spoke up, "I heard that the eldest young master had a fight with the only son of the Minister of the Central Secretariat at the entrance ceremony. The eldest young master kicked the child's penis and broke it..."

"Ah!" Old Madam Song jumped up from the bed in shock.

"Why would Jin'er be so cruel? Where is he now? Has he returned to the Marquis' Mansion?" Old Madam Song said so many words in one breath in a hurry, and then she started coughing violently.

Mother Yan shook her head and said, "No, the prince was on his way back. The eldest young master knew that he had caused trouble, so he ran away from the academy and is now missing. The people sent by the academy have not yet found the whereabouts of the eldest young master."

"Rebellious son, cough cough cough, what a rebellious son. What kind of evil thing did our Marquis's Mansion do to give birth to such a child whose love is the root of disaster." Old Lady Song was so angry that her body trembled slightly and she started coughing violently again.

"Cough cough cough..." The old lady spat out a large amount of blood on her handkerchief.

Mother Yan patted the old lady on the back and said, "Don't get excited, old lady. The prince will take care of it when he comes back."

Old Madam Song raised her hand weakly, pushed Mother Yan outside and said, "Quick, go find Yue'er. Only she can handle this properly."

"Madam, the madam has already been taken back by the eldest and second sons of the Liu Mansion. I heard that Lord Liu is not feeling well, so they asked you to go back and take care of him for two days." Mother Yan frowned and said worriedly.

Old Madam Song closed her eyes, her face ashen.

"Go and invite her. No matter what, you must invite her back to me today. She is from our Marquis' Mansion, so naturally we have to give priority to the affairs of our Mansion." Old Madam Song said with difficulty.

"But, but the Liu family can't justify it." Mother Yan explained with some embarrassment.

"Hmph, there's nothing that can't be said. Even if the Liu Mansion is handling the funeral, as the granddaughter-in-law of our Marquis's Mansion, she should abide by filial piety and be available whenever called." Old Lady Song was extremely anxious.

Mother Yan had no choice but to send someone to invite him.

When Song Nanzhi arrived at the marquis's mansion, many onlookers had already gathered at the door, making it a huge crowd.

Song Nanzhi's heart sank to the bottom.

He walked through the crowd and quickly approached Chen Huaide, raised his hand and bowed, saying, "Sir Chen, I wonder why you brought so many people to our mansion?"

Chen Huaide looked at Song Nanzhi with an angry face: "Your good son has ruined half of my son's life, and you still ask me what's the matter? If I can't see him today, we will go to the Dali Temple to reason."

Song Nanzhi looked at the furious Chen Huaide in confusion and asked doubtfully, "Master Chen, have you found out the truth of the matter? Jin'er went to the academy today and didn't come back so early. How could he hurt your child?"

Chen Huaide glanced at the servants behind him, and they rushed directly into the Marquis' Mansion and began to search, not wanting to say a word to Song Nanzhi.

"You, how can you break into someone's house without permission?" Song Nanzhi also became anxious and rushed into the marquis' mansion.

Chen Huaide and his servants were seen rushing around his house and conducting a violent search.

"It's not appropriate for Lord Chen to bring the men into the backyard. What if one of my concubines has a strong temper and, because Lord Chen and his men accidentally break in and bump into her, and she loses her temper and causes a murder, I'm afraid none of us can take the responsibility." Song Nanzhi tried his best to stop him with a sullen face.

Although the person in front of him was a fourth-rank minister of the Secretariat, he suddenly broke into the mansion and searched it. What was the difference between him and those robbers? Even if the matter was brought to the emperor, he would still be in the right.

"An important draft imperial edict was lost. I heard that the thief broke into the mansion of Marquis Zhennan, so I conducted the search impartially and waited until Lord Song came back before I dared to search the mansion." Chen Huaide signaled his servants to continue the search.

The women in the backyard were frightened by the man who suddenly broke in and hid aside.

Song Shijin heard the noise outside and hurriedly asked Yuan Qinglian for help: "Mom, what should I do? They want to take me away, and I'm done for."

Yuan Qinglian glanced at her room. It was empty and there was no place to hide.

Seeing the pursuers getting closer and closer, she pushed Song Shijin onto her bed.

He also lay down and covered himself with the quilt.

"Bang!" The door was pushed open.

A group of people suddenly broke in.

Yuan Qinglian's heart suddenly rose to her throat, but she still pretended to be calm and asked, "Who is it? You came in without knocking? Are you going to let me sleep?"

"We are searching under the order of the emperor. We apologize for the offense." After saying this, several people started to take action.

Song Nanzhi followed closely behind.

For some reason, his heart was in his throat.

"The masters have checked and found nothing." The subordinate came back to report.

Chen Huaide stood outside the door and glanced towards Yun Qinglian's room.

The wind blew and the bed curtains were blown up.

Chen Huaide felt that Yuan Qinglian was not the only one on her bed.

Song Nanzhi also noticed something was wrong and blocked the other party's way: "The one inside is my new concubine. She has been feeling unwell recently. Since Master Chen is not looking for the lost items, you should look for them somewhere else."

Chen Huaide exchanged a look with the servant beside him.

The female attendant took advantage of Song Nanzhi's unpreparedness, quickly came to Yuan Qinglian's bed, and pulled open the quilt.

"You guys!" Yuan Qinglian looked at everyone in horror.

Suddenly he thought of something and blocked Song Shijin on the side.

"Take him away." Chen Huaide gave a stern order when he saw a child who was about the same age as his son.

"Wait." Song Nanzhi's eyes moved and he opened his mouth to stop him.

He pulled Song Shijin to his side and explained, "This is my son Song Yiyan. Where are you taking him?"
