Song Mingli quickly looked up, took a deep breath, and held back the tears in his eyes.

In her past and present lives, the person she felt most indebted to was Jingyou.

Chu Yanchen's words just hit the softest part of her heart.

"Mother..."

A small voice, a little tentative.

Song Mingli thought he had misheard and quickly turned his head to look at the door.

Jingyou was seen standing by the door, holding the door frame with his little hands, his eyes burning, looking at him nervously and expectantly.

Song Mingli waved to him, "Jingyou, come in quickly."

Jingyou quickly came to Song Mingli's side, and his warm little hand tightly held Song Mingli's hand.

When Song Mingli felt Jingyou's warmth, he realized that his hands were quite cold.

"Is mother worried?"

"Ok?"

“I’m worried that Prince Jing will treat me badly, that he’s not worthy of my trust, that he’s just the next Gu Qingshan?” Jingyou’s eyes were dark and bright.

A simple gaze, yet it seems to be able to see through people's hearts.

Song Mingli said nothing.

Chu Yanchen, who was sitting opposite, held his breath and gritted his teeth secretly - what kind of words are these?

What do you mean, he is just the next Gu Qingshan? !

"Didn't mother teach me to be brave?"

"You said that bravery is not about being fearless, but about having the courage to try something you are afraid of."

The childish words suddenly knocked on a tightly closed door.

There is a ray of light shining into the dark heart.

"How can you know right from wrong if you don't try?"

"I want a father, a mother, and a real home." Jingyou held her hand and said, "Mom, do you dare to accompany me to try?"

Song Mingli looked into Jingyou's clear eyes, his expression slightly stunned, but his heart was shaken.

Do you dare to... give it a try?

She nodded slowly, "Then... give it a try."

Every road is not easy.

It’s not easy to start your own business with Jingyou.

Facing the truth of that year, it is not easy to enter Prince Jing's mansion.

Since life is so difficult, why not be brave? No matter how miserable life is, can it be worse than your previous life?

Chu Yanchen was pleasantly surprised. He reached out and touched Jingyou's little head, praising him, "You are still amazing."

Jingyou smiled at him, "So, are you really my biological father?"

This question almost made Chu Yanchen burst into tears.

He immediately reached out and held Jingyou in his arms, holding him tightly.

He seemed afraid that if he let go, his son would be gone again.

He wanted to speak, but his throat was tight. He nodded heavily and said in a deep voice after a while, "I'm sorry... I've let you and your son down all these years."

Chu Yanchen stood up holding Jingyou and turned to look at Song Mingli.

"You and Jingyou, follow me into the palace."

"The rest of the Gu family was imprisoned for the crime of plotting to murder the royal family."

Song Mingli thought about it and nodded slowly.

Prince Jing's heir... Such a big matter must be discussed in the palace.

Chu Yanchen took Song Mingli and Jing You, got on the carriage of Prince Jing's mansion, and went straight into the palace.

From the time he arrived at the Marquis' Mansion to the time he got on the carriage, he was reluctant to let Jingyou go.

I've been thinking about stealing a child for so long...finally, I got it!

From now on, this is his son! His own son!

*

The Gu family had just settled down.

Gu Qingshan felt pain all over his body. He had just fallen into a deep sleep after taking the medicine when he was woken up by the noisy sound outside.

"Everyone in the Gu family is conspiring to murder the royal family and will be thrown into prison!"

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

The soldiers who came to arrest him had a murderous look on their faces and did not look like the soldiers and officers of the Kyoto government office at all.

The Gu family members were so frightened that their legs went limp and their calves were trembling. How could they have the strength to resist?

They just hoped that this group of soldiers would not really draw their swords, so that they could "accidentally kill" them while arresting them!

Gu Qingshan had not yet recovered when he was pulled out of bed, put on a carriage, and thrown into prison.

"Catch... arrest?"

"Plotting to murder the royal family?"

He swallowed hard and sorted out the messy thoughts in his mind.

"Is Prince Jing going to publicly admit what happened back then?"

"No... He took the initiative! He forced me! How did it become my murder?"

"Oh... is he talking about Jingyou? Murdering his son?"

"He left his son in my Gu family for so many years without caring about him. Now he can't do it anymore! He can't have children! He wants to take his son back!"

"So I am the one who murdered his son? What was he doing before?!"

Gu Qingshan sat in the cold and damp cell, unable to help but mutter complaints.

Gu Changhai quickly covered his brother's mouth.

"Brother...are you also scared silly? Like I was a while ago?"

"Why did you start talking nonsense?"

Gu Qingshan pulled his hand away with a look of disgust, "What's that smell on your hand? Don't cover my mouth! I'm not talking nonsense! You don't understand!"

Gu Changhai rubbed his palms on his body and said, "I just caught a mouse..."

Gu Qingshan: “…Ugh!”

Everyone in the Gu family, including Madam Gu, Mrs. Sun, Su Yi, her two children, Xiao Cui, and even the old housekeeper, were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice.

As for the other servants of the Gu family and the people in Qichiyuan, they were now under strict guard in the Changning Marquis Mansion.

The Black Armor Army blocked all the exits of the courtyards and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The commotion at the Changning Marquis' Mansion was not big, but not small either.

Those who were paying attention to the developments in Kyoto had already received the news by now.

Li Tianming of the Li family was even more like a frightened bird. The moment he heard the news, he called Gu Lingyi over.

"All your mother's family members have been taken to the Ministry of Justice prison. Do you know what crime they have committed?" Li Tianming asked in a deep voice.

"What?!" Gu Lingyi was shocked. "Why? I... I don't know?"

Li Tianming stroked his chin and said, "I asked people to find out, and I only roughly know that it is related to the royal family."

Li Tianming's tentative and hesitant gaze fell on Gu Lingyi's face.

Gu Lingyi's fair face was filled with clear stupidity as she stared at him helplessly with her big eyes.

"Then...then what should we do?"

"I'm already a married daughter. Gu family affairs can't involve me, right?"

"Where is Song Mingli? Is it because of her? What did she do to get all my family members thrown into jail?"

Li Tianming frowned. It seemed that he married a wife who knew nothing.

"Since you don't know either, we have no choice but to go to the prison and check." Li Tianming looked at her and said.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyi immediately shook her head, "No, it's too late for us to avoid suspicion right now! Why are we going to the prison to investigate? We should just stay out of it!"

Li Tianming frowned and thought for a moment, "Song Mingli...should be fine."

"I heard that her two brothers are now quite trusted by the emperor and are working for him privately."

"In addition, the emperor has also suppressed General Song's past affairs and is not allowed to mention them again."

"I think the emperor has spared the Song family out of old friendship! Go to the prison to visit Song Mingli as the sister-in-law and inquire about the situation."

Gu Lingyi immediately shook her head like a rattle.

She would not go to the prison! Especially to visit Song Mingli?

Are you going to get yourself into trouble just for Song Mingli?

"I dont go."

Li Tianming grabbed her shoulders.

"Hiss, Li Lang, it hurts..." Gu Lingyi exclaimed.
