When Song Mingli's things were being loaded onto a truck, the imperial court sent people over.

The Song siblings and the servants who were working were all startled.

The young officer who came to supervise the work politely stepped forward and saluted, "Mr. Song, Miss Song, don't be nervous."

"Anything that belongs to Miss Song can be taken away. The court will seal up the Marquis's mansion and take back the mansion."

"But I heard that the Marquis' Mansion doesn't have any property anymore?"

Song Mingli quickly asked someone to bring a wooden box over, "Thank you, General, but the Marquis' Mansion does have some things."

The general took the box and opened it.

It turned out to be a list of unpaid debts.

General: ...

"The Song family and the Gu family have no connection anymore. It is indeed inappropriate to leave these things in Miss Song's hands." The general did not shirk his responsibility and accepted the list of debts.

Song Mingli took her private property, her dowry, and the servants who had exchanged their indentures and separated themselves from the Gu family.

Before the Gu family fell, they saw the direction of the wind, joined Song Mingli, and completely became Song Mingli's people.

At this time, everyone can follow Song Mingli and leave the Gu family and go to the Song family.

Those who had been sitting on the fence and taking a wait-and-see attitude at the beginning are now regretting it to the core.

"If I had known this, I should have joined Madam Tai earlier!"

"Now, it's too late to say anything now."

The slaves who stayed in the marquis' mansion could only wait to be sold by the imperial court.

When Song Mingli returned to the Song family, Mrs. Song Jiang was already waiting at the door.

Seeing her come in, Jiang hugged her daughter and said, "My son... you have suffered so much. It's your parents' fault for letting you marry into such a family... You have harmed my son!"

Song Mingli had experienced his past and present lives, and originally didn't want to cry.

But somehow, I was held by my mother and heard her say this.

Her tears welled up uncontrollably.

Song Mingli patted Jiang's back and said, "Mother... I don't blame you. It was because I was too weak in the past."

Jiang couldn't stop crying.

"Mother, can I go and burn some incense for father?" Song Mingli said.

Jiang then wiped her tears hastily, "Okay, okay..."

Song Mingli burned incense to General Song. Originally, she wanted to talk to her father alone.

But Jiang was so angry that she complained to General Song's spirit tablet in the ancestral temple, "It's all your fault! You insisted on fulfilling your promise! Marry your daughter to that guy named Gu!"

"You are marrying your daughter into a hell of a place! The Gu family is simply inhuman!"

"If we had sent more people to investigate, and inquired for a few more days, we might have known what kind of person he was!"

"It's not possible for our daughter to be so thoroughly schemed against! We are so sorry for our daughter..."

Jiang almost fainted from crying.

Song Mingli and Song Yanzhou sent Jiang back to her courtyard.

Song Yanzhou clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

"Brother, go and get busy. I haven't had the chance to spend time with mother over the years. Now that I'm back, I can finally fulfill my filial duties to her." Song Mingli smiled sweetly.

Song Yanzhou looked at her with heartache.

Her family was angry and indignant for her, and her mother even fainted from anger.

But looking at Song Mingli, he seemed like a bystander who was not involved in the matter, calm and peaceful.

"Mingli, if you are sad, just cry. No one will laugh at you at home." Song Yanzhou said sadly, "Don't hold it in."

Song Mingli didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What was she holding back?

She originally wanted to take revenge on the Gu family and get away with it with Jingyou, and she would be satisfied.

Now the result is better than she expected.

It turns out that Jingyou is not Gu Qingshan’s son at all, and Prince Jing…even the Emperor and Concubine Chen, Jingyou’s real blood relatives, seem to like Jingyou very much.

Be it the Emperor or Prince Jing, they even put their face aside.

Just to give Jingyou a legitimate identity.

Prince Jing was even willing to give up his title in order to give Jingyou a complete and real home.

I would never have dared to imagine such a thing in my previous life.

She had never dared to think about it even in this life.

Although this road is not easy, isn’t it lucky enough that the whole family is working together?

"I understand, brother." Song Mingli said with a smile, "I'm not sad, really. It's a good thing that I can see the true face of the Gu family so early."

"Don't worry." Song Yanzhou's face darkened. "Exile is too easy for them. I will ask someone to take good care of them on the way to exile."

He said the last sentence with gritted teeth.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, big brother. I won't help you." Song Mingli nodded.

"Well, don't worry about it. Just relax. Eat whatever you want and do whatever you want." Song Yanzhou looked at her lovingly.

It feels so good to be home.

Song Mingli sighed in his heart.

As for the future... Song Yanzhou pursed his lips and didn't ask.

He turned around and went back to work.

Song Mingli asked Nanxing to prepare some calming herbal drink for his mother, and she brought it to Jiang's bedside.

Song Yanzhou resisted asking the question, but Jiang couldn't help asking it.

"I heard that Jingyou was taken back to the palace by the emperor?" Jiang held her hand and said, "The story between you and Prince Jing is now known to everyone... What are you going to do?"

Song Mingli lowered his eyes and said, "Just do what you have to do."

"Can you please talk to Prince Jing and I'll pick you up later."

Jiang sighed, "You have suffered too much in the Gu family. Mother loves you and wants to keep you in her family for a while."

Song Mingli was speechless.

The "receive" that mother mentioned - is referring to a sedan chair that will carry her into Prince Jing's mansion, right?

She had no name or status, and was at most a concubine in the royal palace.

Although Chu Yanchen had already made it clear that he wanted to make her the Princess of Jing legitimately.

But things haven't been done yet, and there's no telling what twists and turns may arise in the process. Song Mingli doesn't intend to let her mother worry about her.

"Well, I will tell Prince Jing that he should stay at home and accompany his mother for some time." Song Mingli smiled.

Jiang patted the back of her hand lovingly.

Song Yunqi has not returned to Beijing yet, but judging from the last time he sent a letter home, he should be on his way back now.

That night, Jiang set up a table in her own yard to celebrate Song Mingli's escape from the fire pit.

The mother and her two children were drunk.

The moon was bright in the sky. Song Mingli looked up at the moon and seemed to see himself in his previous life... He held the little hand of Jingyou from his previous life and waved goodbye to her.

"Don't go..." Song Mingli reached out to pull her.

"Without you having endured so much suffering, without you having come to your senses, there would not be me today!"

"Now you are going to live freely and for yourself! Don't leave."

Song Mingli in his previous life gave her a bright smile.

"Miss! Miss? Who are you asking not to leave?" Zi Su supported her.

The figures of Song Mingli and Jingyou in their previous lives disappeared under the silver light of the moon.

Song Mingli suddenly smiled foolishly, "Thank you, all the pain you have experienced is the confidence I have to face the future. I will not be afraid anymore."

Go ahead, Song Mingli.

Song Mingli's vision was blurred, his steps were unsteady, and he fell asleep leaning on Zisu.

The next morning, Song Mingli heard low giggles while he was still asleep.
