The wet nurse was intimidated by Song Mingli's murderous aura.

The pain in her palm was excruciating, as if the sharp stone was piercing into the flesh of her palm.

She felt pain and fear, and cold sweat flowed into her eyes.

"Yes Yes……"

The wet nurse's psychological defenses almost collapsed and she was about to vomit.

Sun arrived in a hurry.

"Song Mingli! What are you doing? Is it the right thing for a master of a marquis's mansion to mistreat his servants?"

"You've brought disgrace upon the Marquisate! Stop it!"

Song Mingli's feet crushed the wet nurse's hand hard and did not stop.

The nurse's courage increased when she saw Sun coming.

Sun came to rescue her!

How can a daughter-in-law be greater than her mother-in-law? Other families can't do that, let alone Song Mingli!

Everyone knows that when she sees her mother-in-law, she is like a mouse seeing a cat, timid and submissive, afraid of making her mother-in-law unhappy in the slightest.

Although there have been some changes recently, my arms are still no match for my thighs!

"Ahhh, this slave girl is in so much pain, this slave girl is in so much pain!"

"Madam! Madam, please save me! The young mistress is going to torture this slave to death, please spare my life!"

The wet nurse immediately shouted loudly and asked Sun for help.

"Song Mingli! I told you to let go! Are you deaf?" Sun screamed.

"I am your mother-in-law. If you don't listen to me, are you trying to make trouble?"

Sun was so angry that she jumped up and down, pointing at Song Mingli's nose and cursing, "You are such a shrew, believe it or not, I will ask Shan'er to divorce you!"

Song Mingli lowered his eyes, as if sneering.

But she finally slowly lifted her foot that was stepping on the back of the wet nurse's hand.

The wet nurse was sobbing and her entire right palm was covered in blood.

When the nurse saw the miserable condition of her right hand, she cried even harder.

But she immediately had a clue in her mind.

Look, Song Mingli is still afraid of his mother-in-law! Afraid of being divorced by the Marquis's Mansion!

Unexpectedly, Song Mingli's next words almost scared her to death.

"Come here, bring the stick. If Li doesn't tell the truth today, he will be beaten to death here!"

Song Mingli looked at Sun calmly, "Mother-in-law, since you have handed the case over to me as the housekeeper, you'd better not interrupt me when I punish the servants! Just stand aside and watch!"

"you you……"

"This wicked slave deliberately caused my son to fall into the water today. Such a young child, with such a thick cotton coat, is so cold today!"

Song Mingli said coldly, "She didn't make a mistake, she wanted to kill my son! Jingyou is my life!

"If someone stabbed your mother-in-law with a knife, would you let her go?"

"What if it's the prince who's stabbed? We're all mothers, and I hope you can understand my feelings."

The nurse was so frightened that she even forgot to beg for mercy.

Even Sun felt unfamiliar when looking at the cold and powerful Song Mingli.

This... is this really the daughter-in-law who has served her with utmost respect for seven years?

Why did she feel that the daughter-in-law in front of her was not afraid of her at all, and even wanted to kill her?

The servant dragged over a wooden stick that was as wide as a palm and two fingers thick.

The wet nurse was pinned to the ground and was about to be tortured.

"How...outrageous!" Sun didn't expect that she was serious. "It is illegal to execute someone privately!"

"Then go and sue me." Song Mingli nodded at the servant.

The wooden stick hit the nurse's thigh hard, and the dull sound was almost completely drowned out by the nurse's screams.

"Madam! Madam, save me! Madam! I can't bear the pain!"

The nurse screamed again.

These words sound like a reminder, but also like a threat.

Sun's face tightened, "Stop! Song Mingli, I understand your feelings! But you can't wrongly accuse people!"

"Jingyou has both hands and feet. It's not unusual for a child to run to the water to play by himself. How can you frame the nurse?"

"You should also listen to what the nanny says, right?"

The nurse nodded hurriedly, "Yes, it was Young Master Jingyou who said he wanted to pick some green-jawed plums to put in a vase for Young Madam. I advised him that it was dangerous here, but he didn't listen! He insisted on climbing the tree, and that's why he accidentally fell into the water..."

"Oh? Jingyou is coming here by himself?" Song Mingli pointed at the broken branch and asked Molan to go and check it out.

Molan flew forward, touched it with her hand, and came back with a cold face.

"Miss, look!" Molan spread out her palms, which were stained with tung oil.

"hiss……"

"Ah! The branches are greased!"

"This... this is murder!"

The servants couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this.

Sun's breathing stagnated and her heart almost stopped beating. She clenched her palms tightly with her hands.

At this time, the little maid who followed Nanxing and Zisu to take care of Jingyou also came running over.

"Madam, Master Jingyou is in a daze and talking nonsense. Say, say..."

"What?" Song Mingli asked with a frown.

"He said the branch the nurse pointed to was too far away for him to reach! He wanted to go back and practice calligraphy."

"He also said... there was a person in the water, holding onto his ankles, preventing him from floating to the surface!"

Song Mingli gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "Beat him! Beat him hard!"

"I gave you food and drink, and let your husband take up a position in your house, and this is how you repay me?"

"You murdered your master, and you deserve to be killed! If you don't reveal your accomplices, I will beat you to death today. Who dares to stop me?!"

A few more beatings came down with the stick, and the nurse almost rolled her eyes in pain.

Sun was afraid that she would reveal the truth the next moment, and her legs were shaking with anxiety.

"Stop! Stop!" Sun said anxiously, "How can you take a child's babbling seriously? There is another person in the water! He must be imagining it!"

"Fortunately, Jingyou is fine now! Why not make a big deal out of a small matter? What murder? It's all a misunderstanding! If this word gets out, how will others view our mansion?"

"Song Mingli, you are also the mistress of the family. How can you be so willful and not know the importance of things?"

"Li is a family slave. Even if she failed to take good care of the child, you can just beat her up and send her to the farm! Why would you want to kill her? Don't go too far!"

Song Mingli sneered when he heard this, "I went too far?"

She took a deep breath and waved to the servants to put down the wooden sticks.

The nurse was sweating all over from the pain, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down her forehead.

But at this moment, she breathed a sigh of relief. Sun still saved her.

"I can't stand it anymore!" A loud shout was heard, followed by a woman in red clothes rushing into the yard.

"Even though you told us to stay in the warm room and not come out, I really can't listen to it anymore!"

"Madam, I'm sorry to say that you are getting old and confused. Even I, an outsider, can tell that this cunning servant must have been bribed! He colluded with outsiders to murder the young master! How come you don't understand?"

"You are always protecting a cunning servant and the reputation of your mansion! What about your grandson's life? Don't you care at all?"

"I have never seen such a cruel and evil mother-in-law as you!"

The woman in red clothes yelled so loudly that Sun covered her chest and took two steps back.

Her face turned red as she pointed at the woman in red and Song Mingli, "You...you guys..."

The woman in red was none other than Tong Wanyu, the daughter of the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, who had always been at odds with Song Mingli.

The reason why she and Song Mingli don't get along is very simple. She looks down on Song Mingli's soft character.

She said in public more than once that Song Mingli was too dithering and did not seem like a descendant of a military family at all.

"You... such a thing happened, and there were outsiders present! You... why didn't you tell me earlier?" Sun's teeth were about to break.
