After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Song Mingli looked at Gu Qingshan with a half-smile, "So the prince has a wife? Why doesn't the prince bring her back to the palace so that I can meet her?"

Gu Qingshan’s face darkened and he snatched the note from Sun’s hand.

He looked at it carefully two or three times and said, "Oh, those thieves must have made a mistake! Let's eat!"

Song Mingli picked up the chopsticks without saying a word.

Mrs. Sun and Old Madam Gu looked at each other and had no appetite for food.

The old lady and the children around Sun looked at the adults' faces and did not dare to pick up their chopsticks.

"Grandma, why don't you eat?" Song Mingli asked, "I'm fine here, right?"

Sun took a deep breath, "Could it be... Yi'er? They mistook her for the young lady of the Marquis' Mansion?"

Song Mingli laughed and said, "How could it be my cousin? I think my cousin is well-educated and well-mannered. How could she let people misunderstand her as me and ruin my reputation for no reason?"

Sun choked and looked at Gu Qingshan anxiously.

Gu Qing Shan put down his chopsticks with a snap, "Don't guess, my cousin is safe and sound! It was that thief who made a mistake!"

Gu Jia seemed to be frightened by the atmosphere at the dinner table. She stared with her eyes wide open and tears fell from her eyes.

"Aunt... When Aunt went out, she said she would be back soon." Gu Jia choked.

"Why not send someone out to look for him?" Song Mingli said gently, "After all, he is a guest in our house. If something happens, it will be embarrassing for our host family."

The more polite and generous Song Mingli was, the uglier the faces of the other people in the room looked.

"No way! If we go out of our way to find someone, won't people know that she's a girl and she hasn't come back yet so late?"

Sun frowned and looked at Song Mingli, "Song! What are you thinking? Are you going to ruin a girl's reputation like this?"

The maids behind Song Mingli couldn't stand it anymore and all of them looked indignant.

Song Mingli sneered, "The thieves said that I was the one kidnapped, but my mother-in-law didn't think that my reputation was ruined. I said to send someone to find my cousin, but my mother-in-law said that I ruined my cousin's reputation?

"People who have done nothing wrong should take the blame. People who don't come home at night should have their reputations well protected? Is this the logic of a mother-in-law?"

"You! You're so sharp-tongued! Is that how you talk to your elders?" Sun slammed the table in anger.

The old lady's bowls were all bounced up by her slapping.

Madam Gu frowned in annoyance. "Alright, stop talking. Shan'er, you say..."

"Prince, someone brought something in!" Another servant came running over in a panic.

It seems that the thief is not stupid. He knows that if he doesn't send the token in, the Gu family may not believe it.

"That person said that this is a token of the prince's wife...Huh? Young Madam?" The servant was also slightly stunned when he saw Song Mingli.

Song Mingli sneered, "Oh, are you here to ruin my reputation?"

Gu Qingshan took the jade pendant.

"This is my aunt's!" Gu Jia shouted immediately.

Gu Qingshan frowned, "This..."

"Yier! My poor niece! My poor sister...Wuuuuu, Shan'er, you have to rescue Yier for me!

"My sister and brother-in-law are both gone, and my only son has gone to the army with no news from us! Now I only have this one daughter left, and I have her by my side!

"Shan'er, Shan'er..."

Sun slapped her thigh and started crying.

Song Mingli looked at Sun calmly...How could she not look? Wasn't Sun performing this for her?

Su Yi gave birth to two children for Gu Qingshan, and the children are still sitting here. How can Gu Qingshan ignore her?

Sun was just trying to make Gu Qingshan's nervousness and anxiety seem more reasonable so that she, the legal wife, would have nothing to say.

How could she not support the play she performed?

“Mingli, you… you lend me one thousand taels of silver!” Gu Qingshan turned his head and looked at Song Mingli.

Song Mingli sneered in his heart, but his face was full of sorrow. "Prince, report to the authorities! We cannot tolerate this thief! We are being led by the nose by this thief."

"Song Mingli! You have such a vicious heart! Do you want to kill Yier?" Sun pointed at Song Mingli's nose and cursed.

Song Mingli sighed, "My mother-in-law always misunderstands me and wrongly accuses me like this, I am no longer surprised.

"My good intentions are being treated as nothing. I'd better keep silent."

Song Mingli lowered his hands and eyes, sitting quietly without saying a word.

"You..." Sun gnashed her teeth in anger, "You pushed the responsibility of housekeeper onto Yi'er. She's in trouble now, you can't just ignore her!"

Song Mingli just sat there without saying a word.

“Mingli, please help me! I’ll definitely pay you back for what I lent you!” Gu Qingshan stepped forward, grabbed Song Mingli’s hand and said, “Save Yi’er first. If you’re angry or dissatisfied, you can tell me, okay?”

Song Mingli struggled to break free from his hand...how disgusting.

"Don't you know, my lord? I have no money left. In order to send away those old servants, I borrowed money from my mother's family. I had planned to spend it for half a year, but I spent it all!"

Song Mingli said with a cold face, "Don't even mention a thousand taels. I don't even have ten taels now."

“You…” Gu Qingshan clenched his fists and said, “Didn’t your parents give you two shops as a gift? You used the shops as collateral…”

Before Gu Qingshan could finish his words, Song Mingli raised his hand and slapped him.

There was a crisp "pop" sound.

There was complete silence in Chongming Hall.

"Ah! Song Mingli! You are rebelling!" Sun screamed, "How dare you do that in front of us! Are you slapping me in the face?

"Behind the scenes, I don't know how arrogant you are! Divorce her! Shan'er, divorce her!"

Song Mingli's tears suddenly rolled down.

"My father gave it to me as a gift! Before he went to the battlefield, he personally handed the deed of the shop to me!

"My father died on the battlefield and will never come back. This is the last thought he left for me!

"Gu Qingshan, if you are a man, you should find a way to save Su Yi! You force me, beg me, and ask me to use my dowry to save your cousin? What kind of man are you?"

Song Mingli took Jingyou's hand and turned to leave Chongming Hall.

The play was almost over and she didn't want to continue with them.

"Stop!" Madam Gu said in a deep voice, "Close the door!"

The servant slammed the door of Chongming Hall.

Song Mingli turned around and looked at Madam Gu, his eyes full of confusion, "Grandma, what does this mean?"

"Mingli, we are all family. The Gu family is in trouble, and you can't just stand by and watch!" Old Madam Gu gently held Gu Jia's hand and looked at Song Mingli sternly.

Song Mingli lowered his eyes and sighed, "Grandma, I've already said that I don't have any money. Even if you force me to mortgage the shop, I have to wait until tomorrow morning to find a bank to handle it, right?"

Song Mingli finished speaking and glanced at Gu Qingshan.

"But cousin, I'm afraid you can't wait until tomorrow? That's why I said you should report it to the police."

Madam Gu's face was gloomy. "That's a human life! What can't the criminals do? If we report it to the police, what if they really dare to kill people?"

Song Mingli stopped talking.

Just wait and see. She's not the one who's most anxious anyway.

"Tell the maidservant beside you to go back to her parents' home to borrow some money." Madam Gu said in a deep voice, "We are all relatives. The Song family is in an awkward position in the court and in Kyoto now. The Song family is not having a good time.

"The Song family helped the Marquis' Mansion today. When Shan'er becomes powerful, he will definitely help the Song family!"

Song Mingli rolled his eyes in his heart...he was just promising her something.

"Oh, it turns out that I, the wife of the prince of the Marquis's mansion, am not as important as a cousin who lives in the Marquis's mansion.

"It's not enough for me to be here. The Song family needs help to save the cousin of the Gu family. Only then will the Gu family gain power in the future. Can you help the Song family?" Song Mingli asked the old lady.

"You..." Old Madam Gu frowned and was speechless.
