Just as Tong Wanyu said, Sun never cared about Jingyou's life or death from beginning to end.

She cared far more about the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and a servant of the Li family than Jingyou's life and death.

Song Mingli, who originally had no expectations for the Marquis' Mansion, felt all the waves in his heart calm down when these words were spoken bluntly.

It's not that she is cruel, it's that the Gu family never treated her and Jingyou as family members from the beginning to the end.

She was also more calm and peaceful about her layout and arrangements.

"Don't air your dirty laundry in public," Sun said to Song Mingli with a dark face, "Go see the guests off first, and we'll take care of family affairs when you come back!"

Song Mingli looked up at Tong Wanyu and said, "I'm sorry. I wanted to invite you to drink tea and appreciate the plum blossoms, but I didn't expect you to make a fool of yourself."

Tong Wanyu had a cold face and waved her hand, "This involves human life, this is not a family matter!"

Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Sun gnashed her teeth and said, "Why, Miss Tong, you still want to meddle in our Gu family's affairs? You haven't married yet, have you? A young lady in the boudoir is so nosy. Aren't you afraid that it will be difficult to find a husband? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get married?"

The other young ladies originally invited by Song Mingli also came to the gate of the courtyard.

However, they were not as impatient and hot-tempered as Tong Wanyu, so they stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched.

Hearing what Sun said, they all showed expressions of disgust on their faces.

It is so disgusting that Sun is using a woman's reputation to threaten others!

"Ha, are you trying to scare me?" Tong Wanyu has a stubborn temper, otherwise she wouldn't have been at odds with Song Mingli for so many years.

"If we don't make this matter clear today, I won't leave! I want to see how you, a wicked mother-in-law, can embarrass your daughter-in-law and grandson just for a mean servant!"

"You..." Sun glared at Tong Wanyu.

But she was a guest after all, and the legitimate daughter of the Dali Temple Minister, so she couldn't do anything to her.

Sun looked back at the gate of the courtyard.

Although the ladies and noblewomen from other families did not come in, they did not leave either!

They all stood at the gate of the yard, watching the situation in the yard.

Just standing there was a threat to the Sun family!

Sun looked at Song Mingli viciously.

She never knew that Song Mingli had so many close friends! ?

In the seven years since she married into the Gu family, she has hardly ever interacted with the noble ladies outside, and the interactions they had were limited to the exchange of gifts during festivals.

She almost never attended any invitations given to her by others!

Gradually, people stopped sending her invitations!

How could she invite so many noble ladies to her house for tea at once?

More importantly, how come I didn't know anything about it?

Sun stared at Song Mingli with resentment and suspicion, "Okay, okay, you don't even listen to your mother-in-law!"

"You even deliberately invited a bunch of outsiders to come and laugh at your family's joke! You are such a good daughter-in-law! Someone! Go and ask the prince to come back! Ask him to come back and personally take care of his powerful daughter-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Wanyu frowned and looked at Song Mingli.

"With such a weak character, how can you be in such a family..."

Tong Wanyu didn't finish her words, but the omitted second half of the sentence was revealed between her brows: How did you survive to this day?

Song Mingli sighed and looked towards the gate of the courtyard, as if she was waiting for something.

"Song Mingli, I think... you might as well report to the police?" Tong Wanyu said in a low voice.

Sun said in a sharp voice, "Song Mingli, what kind of friends do you have? Instead of advising people to 'a harmonious family brings prosperity', they advise people to report to the police?"

"Do you think she really wants you to be good? She's hoping you'll be embarrassed! Just a little family matter in the Marquis's house! Reporting it to the government! You don't feel embarrassed for yourself, but your whole family feels embarrassed for being embarrassed by you!"

When Tong Wanyu heard this, her face turned dark.

"Madam Hou, I respect you as my elder! How dare you talk like that?"

The other noble ladies also looked unhappy and stood outside the courtyard, whispering to each other.

"How can I talk? If you stop meddling in other people's business, I can't say anything to you!" Sun said with contempt.

"Don't want to listen? Then go away! You're staying in my house and you think my words are harsh? I have even harsher words to say!"

Tong Wanyu was so angry that she threw her sleeves and walked away immediately.

Sun smiled smugly and glared at Song Mingli fiercely, her face full of disdain: You little bastard! You still want to fight me? !

Unexpectedly, Tong Wanyu walked to the gate of the courtyard angrily and then strode back.

Sun stared at her with eyes wide open…How come she brought him back?

Tong Wanyu didn't even look at Sun. She looked at Song Mingli angrily, "Song Mingli! You are a coward! You have been bullied to this extent! You don't even dare to fart?"

"Are you afraid to report it to the police? Do you have to wait until you and your son are bullied to death before you regret it?!"

"You are the descendant of a military family! You really bring shame to the military family! If General Song knew about this, he would be furious when he saw you like this..."

Tong Wanyu was so angry that she started to scold Song Mingli.

Upon seeing this, the other noble ladies no longer cared to stand by and watch, and hurried forward to persuade Tong Wanyu.

"Forget it, Wanyu, she has her own difficulties!"

Tong Wanyu was so angry that her eyes turned red, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

In his previous life, Song Mingli also didn’t like Tong Wanyu, this little girl who was obviously a few years younger than him.

But he always looked down on her and was ready to teach her a lesson.

Moreover, Tong Wanyu probably doesn’t know what “euphemism” means.

Her straightforward words always put people in an awkward position.

But Song Mingli, who had been plotted to death by the Gu family in his previous life, did not feel offended when he heard Tong Wanyu's words... Instead, a warm feeling rose in his heart.

Others may not fail to understand, but only Tong Wanyu can say it clearly.

Although this girl's words are not pleasant, she is actually honest and upright in her heart.

"You're right." Song Mingli nodded.

"Miss, the person is here!" Zi Su ran over panting.

Everyone turned back.

I saw Zi Su leading a group of people from Jingzhao Prefecture, striding over.

"Ah! You...you actually reported it to the police?!" Sun screamed.

Tong Wanyu looked at Song Mingli in surprise, as if she didn't expect that she would dare to report to the police, and had already reported to the police a long time ago!

Maybe she deliberately delayed Sun so that she wouldn't notice.

Tong Wanyu looked at Song Mingli again.

Song Mingli nodded to her and thanked her, "Thank you, Wanyu."

Tong Wanyu turned her face away awkwardly and snorted softly.

"What's the matter?" The official from Jingzhao Prefecture stepped forward and asked.

All the noble ladies retreated to the corridor and watched from afar.

"It's okay! It's just a misunderstanding! Thank you for taking the trouble to make the trip, Madam Zhao!" Sun said with a dry laugh.

Aunt Zhao, who was standing by, quickly stuffed a bulging purse into the officer's hands.

"Thank you for the trouble you have made. Let me show my respect for you by offering you some tea." Madam Zhao said politely.

Song Mingli said in a cold voice, "This cunning servant colluded with others and attempted to murder his master. There is evidence! Will Jingzhao Prefecture intervene?"

When they heard this, they immediately pushed away Zhao Ma's purse.

It is a serious crime for a servant to murder his master!

And there were so many female guests watching! Could they just ignore it?

Although they did not know the female guests, they knew with a simple guess that there must be wives of officials.

How dare they accept bribes and neglect their duties in public?

I’m afraid even their boss won’t let them go!

"Where are the witnesses and evidence?" the officer asked seriously.
