Song Nanzhi remained silent. The position of the Marquis' Mansion was unstable now, and things were not as easy as they seemed.

After these losses outside, he would be secretly laughed at by his colleagues every time he went to court.

If the affair between the two of them were to be spread out, it would confirm the accusation that he favored his concubine over his wife.

By then, no matter how hard Liu Yueru tried to turn the tide, she would not be able to resist the spread of rumors by others.

"Now the food, clothing and other expenses provided to you by the Marquis' Mansion are all in accordance with the usual practices of the young ladies in the mansion. You should still live a good life in the mansion." Song Nanzhi was silent for a long while, then spoke slowly.

Yuan Qinglian was stunned for a moment, then said with a grievance: "Husband, Qinglian never wants these, I just want our family to be reunited, even if it's just plain food and drink, I'm willing."

Song Nanzhi suddenly felt annoyed when he heard Yuan Qinglian crying.

Thinking of Liu Yueru's cold face, no matter how difficult life was in the Marquis' Mansion, she gritted her teeth and maintained her past glory, always talking about important matters of state that would be beneficial to her career.

He used to think that her life was boring and depressing, but today he finally understood Liu Yueru's good intentions.

Thinking of how poorly she treated him, Song Nanzhi felt guilty towards her.

"You know, the days of not having enough food are not easy. Jin'er is now the eldest son of the Marquis' Mansion. Don't ask him to take him away easily in the future." Song Nanzhi said in a tough tone.

Over the years in the Marquis' Mansion, Song Nanzhi had always been gentle and considerate to her, and always responded to her requests. This was the first time Yuan Qinglian had seen him like this.

Yuan Qinglian was shocked and immediately gave in: "I am also afraid that my husband will find a new love and forget about me and Jin Ge'er."

Song Nanzhi became more annoyed after hearing her words, and said calmly: "Take good care of yourself, I have something else to do, so I'll come another day."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Nanxi Hall.

Yuan Qinglian stared at Song Nanzhi's receding figure in a daze, not knowing what she had said wrong.

Song Nanzhi just arrived at Nanxi Hall.

Liu Yueru also rushed over to Old Madam Song with Song Shijin from outside.

Song Shijin was recognized by Teacher He, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face when he saw Old Madam Song and Song Nanzhi.

After he bowed respectfully, he said happily: "Grandmother, father, Teacher He has agreed to come to the mansion to teach."

"Okay, okay, I said that Jin'er is very smart and has been likable since he was a child, so he will definitely be liked by the teacher." Old Madam Song praised him generously.

He never mentioned Liu Yueru's contribution.

Song Shijin scratched his head a little embarrassedly, looked at Liu Yueru and said, "It is thanks to my mother and everyone's advice that I was able to successfully invite Teacher He to the mansion."

Song Nanzhi looked at Liu Yueru, who was standing quietly with a tired look on her face, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Liu Yueru was slightly stunned.

Then, she smiled faintly: "As it should be, if this matter can be handled, your husband will not have to worry about being gossiped by his colleagues in the future when he goes to court."

"This is a very happy event." Old Madam Song smiled happily and spoke with more vigor.

“I wonder if those people dare to laugh at our mansion in the future. Even a figure like Teacher He has come to our mansion to teach. It must be the blessing of our ancestors to help our mansion prosper.” Old Madam Song said complacently.

Song Nanzhi was also happy, as if a stone in his heart had finally fallen. As long as Jin'er could successfully enter the palace as a companion student.

Then he can also be proud of himself in front of his colleagues.

Liu Yueru looked at their happy faces indifferently and suddenly found them ridiculous.

Old Madam Song was so happy that she asked, "Does Teacher He have any excessive requests for coming out of retirement?"

Liu Yueru told Old Madam Song everything that Mr. He had said.

"That's all?" Hearing this, he said in disbelief.

"Yes, my granddaughter-in-law will step aside first and clear out Lanting Pavilion for Teacher He. It's quiet over there and there's a vegetable garden." Liu Yueru didn't want to stay here any longer and made an excuse to leave.

Song Nanzhi looked at the time and said hurriedly, "I have nothing to do today. I'll go with you."
