Old Madam Song’s face turned ashen.

Only then did he realize that he had also been tricked by Song Shijin.

If Song Shijin's words hadn't misled me, I wouldn't have...

His children and grandchildren are all upright people, and none of them are as full of nonsense as Song Shijin.

I don’t know how Yuan Qinglian guided his child in the past, making him so naughty!

Yuan Qinglian on the side suddenly became restless.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yueru was so eloquent that she could alienate Jin Ge'er from the expectations of Old Madam Song in just a few words.

Slandering Song Shijin as a rebellious child.

Wasn't it her fault that what happened today?

If Liu Yueru hadn't punished Song Shijin by making him kneel in the ancestral hall, none of the things that happened later would have happened.

Her brother Jin will not get sick either.

Yuan Qinglian stepped forward and explained, "Jin'er has been timid since he was young. If it weren't for my sister punishing him to kneel in the ancestral hall for a trivial matter, Jin'er wouldn't have been frightened and ran away."

"You can't blame Jin-ge alone for falling into the well."

To put it bluntly, in the end, we can all blame Liu Yueru for not being magnanimous enough and not having the slightest tolerance towards Song Shijin.

The servants outside the courtyard who were joining in the fun cursed inwardly with strange looks on their faces.

When did their mistress get the instruction of an outsider?

That woman doesn't know the situation and still thinks she is the mistress.

Although Old Madam Song didn't like Yuan Qinglian's meddling in other people's business, what she just said expressed what she was thinking.

Liu Yueru's gaze fell lightly on Yuan Qinglian, with a hint of scrutiny.

"Cousin Yuan seems to care about Jin Ge'er very much. She always protects him first in everything. I didn't know that Cousin Yuan was Jin Ge'er's biological mother."

"Otherwise, I haven't seen you two interact with each other on a daily basis. How did Cousin Yuan know that he was timid since he was a child? And how did she guess what Jin Ge'er was thinking?"

Yuan Qinglian's face turned pale, and he stammered, "Ping, I heard the old lady say that every day."

She pinched the handkerchief in her hand and dared not look at Old Madam Song.

Old Madam Song said with a sullen face, "When will it be your turn to get involved in the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion?"

She swept her eyes fiercely over Yuan Qinglian's body.

Yuan Qinglian was so scared that she lowered her head and bit her lips.

When did Liu Yueru become so eloquent?

Old Madam Song turned to look at Liu Yueru and said, "Qinglian's words are not without reason. How big a mistake could a child like Jin'er make? Why would you punish him by making him kneel in the Liu Clan's Ancestral Hall?"

"Grandmother never asked what Jin'er had done wrong. She always said that Jin'er was still young. When my second brother was his age, he had already entered the palace to be the prince's tutor and could also give advice to our father on some matters."

"If grandma also thinks that contradicting stepmother is a small matter, then Yue'er has nothing to say."

"But he was playing chess with Brother Yan, and he was not good at chess, and he could not stand losing, so he hit Brother Yan with the chess piece. If Brother Yan did this today, I would punish him severely."

She glanced at Old Madam Song, who looked unhappy, and continued, "Now that I haven't done anything to Jin'er, my grandmother and husband have come to question me, and even my cousin is dissatisfied with me..."

Mrs. Song knew she was in the wrong, her expression softened, and she hurriedly explained, "That's not what we meant."

Liu Yueru didn't care about other people's expressions and continued, "We are both children of the Marquis' Mansion. Grandmother and husband have always only cared about Jin'er, but never asked if Yan'er would be injured, let alone whether he had food, clothing, or whether he was cold or warm."

"If you talk about young children, Yan'er is one year younger than Jin'er. Since my grandmother and husband don't like Yan'er so much, I will send Yan'er to the Liu Mansion to be raised by my second brother."
