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

"Then... we should hire a lawyer for our second brother, right? I will go to see my second brother with the lawyer!" Song Mingli said.

Song Yanzhou shook his head again, "The government has assigned a lawyer to Yunqi, so we don't need to hire one."

"How can someone assigned by the government be sincere?" Song Mingli frowned and said, "Brother, think of a way! Second brother is stubborn. He won't even tell you, so how can he sue the lawyer?

"If we are not allowed to go in and persuade him, with his temper, it is obvious that he will be bullied and suffer a great loss!"

Song Yanzhou sighed and frowned.

It's not like he has no other options... He has a badge and a staff, so he can go directly to the palace to see the emperor and plead with him in person.

He could also show his badge and ask the government to cooperate with him and go straight to the Jingzhao Prefecture prison.

With the identity of the Embroidered Uniform Envoy, he could even go to the Heavenly Prison, let alone the Jingzhao Prefecture Prison.

But this matter of my second brother...is not a big deal, but also not a small deal.

Revealing one's cards so early...is not a good thing for the Song family.

It would also make the emperor doubt his ability.

While Song Yanzhou was hesitating, someone from Prince Jing's Mansion came.

The one who came was Chu Yanchen’s first-class personal guard, Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was a serious person. When he saw Song Mingli, he couldn't help but take a closer look.

But before anyone could feel it was impolite, he had already turned his eyes away.

“My prince is recovering from his injuries. When he heard about the incident with the second son of the Song family, he was worried and couldn’t come in person.

"I have specially ordered your subordinate to come and see Master Song. Is there anything you can help with?" Ling Xiao said calmly.

Song Yanzhou hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern! It is truly an honor for the Song family..."

"I wonder if the general could take us to the prison to see my second brother and find out what exactly happened?" Song Mingli said politely.

Song Yanzhou couldn't help but glance at his sister... Duke Qin's Mansion had already explained everything.

Now, they begged Prince Jing's men to take them to the prison to see the man. Isn't this using Prince Jing's power to suppress Duke Qin?

The status of Prince Jing is naturally higher than that of the Duke's Mansion.

But is Prince Jing willing to help?

Ling Xiao also looked at Song Mingli in surprise.

Song Yanzhou quickly cleared his throat and said, "My little sister doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. I hope..."

"Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?" Ling Xiao curled his lips slightly, "Your Highness, do you mean that the palace needs to mediate directly?

"Young people are full of vigor and vitality. A few quarrels are not a big deal. Both sides are wrong. If you want to punish them, both should be punished. How can you only arrest one side?"

Song Yanzhou: “…”

What's the relationship?

Prince Jing is not trying to use his power to help the Song family! Prince Jing is trying to intervene in this matter directly!

After my father passed away, Prince Jing did take good care of the Song family... but he didn't take care of them to this extent, right?

Even for such a small matter, he has to come forward to protect the Song family?

"Thank you, Prince Jing, for your kindness, but the Song family does not dare to ask for such a great favor from you." Song Mingli nodded, "My second brother is indeed a little impulsive. Let him suffer a little and learn his lesson. It would be good for him to reflect on himself in prison... But I beg you to help us go to prison and see my second brother."

Song Yanzhou looked at his sister in surprise again... She was not surprised by praise or criticism, and she knew when to advance and retreat.

His sister, who was spoiled by the whole family and was gentle and introverted... is different now.

She grew up and realized that debts of favor are the hardest to repay.

She has her own ideas and opinions, and she can express them.

She has matured and become more stable...

It was obviously a good thing, but Song Yanzhou felt sad and his eyes were a little swollen.

What makes a person grow fastest is pain.

My sister has suffered a lot in the Gu family over the years.

"Okay." Ling Xiao sighed, looking somewhat helpless.

When he got on the horse and rode side by side with Song Yanzhou, he said, "The prince wants to help you deal with this matter today and bring the person back quickly."

He glanced at Song Mingli's carriage behind him.

"Are you really waiting to go to court?"

Ling Xiao seemed a little confused. It was not often that the prince would take the initiative to help others.

Only the Song family frequently asked him to make an exception, which showed that the Song family had a different status in the prince's heart!

That day, Ling Xiao witnessed with his own eyes the prince's love for the child from the Song family. Ling Xiao felt that the prince might not want the Song family to owe him any favor.

Maybe he prefers the Song family purely because of his love for the child?

Song Yanzhou bowed to him and said, "Let's see what my second brother has to say. We are still confused now."

Ling Xiao nodded.

The group came together to the outside of the Jingzhao Prefecture Prison.

Song Yanzhou and Ling Xiao got off their horses, and Song Mingli was also helped down from the carriage by Zi Su.

She was about to follow her elder brother to the prison, but she saw a slender figure behind a jujube tree in the distance, looking over here anxiously with an anxious look.

Song Mingli frowned and thought for a moment.

"Brother, go first. I will follow soon." Song Mingli asked the other maids to wait where they were, and she and Zisu walked towards the jujube tree.

The person hiding behind the jujube tree was staring at the prison gate, but didn't notice them at first.

But when she saw that Song Mingli was coming towards her, she turned around and started to run.

"Stop!" Song Mingli shouted in a low voice.

The little girl was startled and froze in place.

"I... I'm not a bad person, I just, just came to take a look." The little girl turned around and saw Song Mingli, who was dressed luxuriously and had an elegant temperament, and she couldn't help but become even more frightened.

"This is a prison, not a theater. What are you looking for?" Song Mingli asked seriously.

The little girl was almost frightened to tears. She grabbed the corner of her clothes and dared not speak.

"If you don't explain clearly, are you planning to jailbreak? Where are your accomplices? Tell the truth!" Song Mingli shouted.

The little girl was so scared that she fell to her knees. "No, no, no, I'm not! I don't have any accomplices, and I'm not trying to rob the prison... I, I'm just a singing girl, how dare I? Madam, please spare my life!"

Song Mingli deliberately frightened her.

The little girl was really scared. She fell to her knees with a thud, and it sounded painful.

"Help her up, wipe her tears, and tell me the truth, what are you doing here? Are you here to see someone?" Song Mingli slapped her, then gave her a sweet kiss, coaxing her gently, "It just so happens that we are here to see someone too. If it's on our way, maybe we can help you find the person you're looking for."

When the little girl heard this, her eyes lit up.

She pushed away Zi Su, who was helping her up and wiping her tears, and knelt down again.

"Madam, I am here to see my benefactor. Yesterday, my benefactor had a fight with someone to protect me.

"There were many of them, and you stopped them and told me to run! I hid and watched secretly... You were caught and brought here!

"My benefactor did it for my sake. He is not a bad person!"

After the little girl finished speaking, she hurriedly took out a few small pieces of silver and some copper coins from her body.

"These are what I earned from singing. I have nothing but this little bit of money. Madam, please take it to my benefactor so that he can bribe the jailer and suffer less."

Although the little girl was very scared, her eyes were clear and bright.

Judging from the way she is dressed, she doesn't seem to be rich. This little bit of money must be all she has, right?

It was just their first meeting, but she dared to take out all her money and give it to a stranger, the stranger who had just scared her.

This little girl is really innocent and simple.

Song Mingli asked Zi Su to pull him up, and asked gently, "How old is the benefactor who saved you, and what does he look like?"

The little girl's breathing tightened, and her face suddenly turned red. "He looks very young, I wonder if he has reached the age of twenty? His eyebrows are dyed black, and his eyes are as sharp as torches..."

Song Mingli and Zi Su looked at each other...

Oh, this is a hero saving a beauty, it touches her heart, right?
