People are in high spirits when they are happy. Zhao Tang, who had been bedridden for more than half a month, insisted on changing her clothes and combing her hair today, and personally saw Song Mingli off.

Song Mingli advised her not to be so serious.

Nan Xing said, "Lying in bed for a long time will hurt your energy. Taking advantage of this time, walking around a bit will be very beneficial to recovering your energy."

Zhao Tang was even happier and insisted on rewarding Nanxing with a box of golden beans and golden peanuts.

Nanxing shook his head and waved his hands, saying that the "medical fee" was too expensive and it was not worth so much.

Zhao Tangshi said, "I can see Zhen'er with my own eyes, even ten times more is not too much!"

Song Mingli nodded to Nanxing and told her to just accept it. It was not a medical fee but a token of love from the Duke's wife.

When the housekeeper heard that the Duke's wife actually got up and walked to the outer courtyard, he was very surprised.

He hurriedly brought people over to greet them and see if the Duke's wife had any instructions.

But he was stunned to see that his wife was so warm and friendly towards Song, as if she was meeting her own "daughter".

The housekeeper scratched his head and muttered to himself, "Could it be that Song is the lost daughter of the Madam? Uh... No, the age is wrong."

"Butler Zhao, from now on Mingli is my goddaughter and the young lady of our family! You must not neglect her! Remember?" The wife of the Duke said while staring at Butler Zhao.

Butler Zhao was stunned when he saw the look from his wife.

Didn't the lady lose sight? How come she saw him all of a sudden?

"And! That rebellious son of the third brother! He is such a traitor! Where is he? Tie him up and take him to the ancestral temple!

"Please use family rules to beat him up! Send him back to the manor! The Duke's Mansion is too small! It can't accommodate him! Humph!"

Zhao Tang felt distressed when she thought of her precious daughter who had to make a living by singing with her adoptive father.

Then she thought about it, it was not easy for a little girl to sing for a living, and she was almost molested by the illegitimate son of the third brother - her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were all in pain!

If she didn't teach that bastard a lesson, she simply couldn't swallow this anger!

"Yes, yes!" Butler Zhao bowed quickly in agreement.

Wow! Who said the lady is old and can’t do anything?

Madam, you look as majestic as ever when you get together like this!

Butler Zhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Song Mingli with a bit of awe... This young Song is not simple!

"When the Duke comes back, I will tell him that we will have a few days of opera performances and a buffet in our house. This is a good thing! This is a very good thing! I want the people of the capital to be happy with me!" The Duke's wife smiled brightly.

Ye Zhen was a little shy, "No, that's not necessary, mother."

She was not used to calling her mother "mother". "Mother" sounded respectful and polite.

Zhao Tangshi did not force her. It was already good enough to find her daughter. As for the rest... she could take her time.

Song Mingli found out that the Duke of Qin's Mansion had already gone to Jingzhao Prefecture.

She never went to the government office or the Song family again.

Before leaving, her people had a fight with Nanny Zhao.

She had to hurry back to the Gu Mansion to prevent her people from being bullied by the Sun family.

Unexpectedly, when her carriage arrived at the door of Gu's house, it was stopped by the doorman.

The concierge was somewhat embarrassed and said, "Young Madam... then, that..."

"Oh, Young Madam is so arrogant! She dares to challenge her mother-in-law! She even fights with her people!"

This time, Nanny Zhao brought more people with her. They blocked the door and sneered at Song Mingli, "I'm afraid this small mansion can't accommodate the young lady! Go back to where you came from!"

Song Mingli didn't even get out of the car, but lifted the car curtain, "Is this what Madam Zhao meant? Or what my mother meant? Or what the prince meant?

"Who wants to drive me back to my parents' home? I can't just listen to the one-sided words of a servant like you, right?"

Madam Zhao smiled coldly, "Madam's opinion is the prince's opinion!"

"Oh," Song Mingli said calmly, "Are you going to divorce? Please give me the divorce letter, and I will take my people away today!"

"Huh? Divorce?" Aunt Zhao sneered, "Young Madam is disrespectful to her elders! She challenged her elders and fought with them! She is immoral! The Marquis's Mansion wants to divorce her!"

Nanny Zhao scolded Song Mingli at the door.

Sun and Su Yi were not far away in the courtyard, listening with stern faces.

Su Yi held Sun's arm with some excitement, "Aunt, will Song Mingli leave?"

Sun couldn't help but glare at her, "Are you hoping she'll leave?"

Su Yi lowered her head and said nothing.

Sun said unhappily, "Don't be so superficial! She has lived in our Gu family for so many years! If we don't let her spit out anything and just let her go like this, wouldn't that be too easy for her?

"You have been the housekeeper for quite a while now, you know the situation of the Marquis' Mansion very well! I am asking her to take out the money! If she is smart and doesn't want to be an abandoned woman in the Marquis' Mansion, she should take out the money obediently!"

Su Yi hummed sullenly, "I understand, aunt."

Su Yi clenched her hands in her sleeves... As long as Song Mingli didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to be the legal wife openly!

My aunt said it lightly! Does she understand her own bitterness and frustration?

Could she understand the pain of having servants, even the maid Xiao Cui, dare to step on her?

"I believe that I have no flaws in talent and virtue, and I have lived up to the conscience of heaven and earth, and the elders and children in the Marquis' Mansion. Although my Song family has lost its former glory," Song Mingli said coldly, "but I will not allow you to abuse my daughter like this!

"If the Marquis' Mansion wants me to leave, then give me a divorce letter and I want to take Jingyou with me! Otherwise, let's meet at the government office! I will definitely sue the Marquis' Mansion for humiliating the descendants of a loyal minister and a good general!"

Nanny Zhao was intimidated by her cold and dauntless demeanor. She took a step back and her momentum was greatly reduced.

Nanny Zhao was about to go back and ask Madam what to do next?

But then I saw the prince just coming back from outside.

“What’s the point of this?” Gu Qingshan looked at the confrontation at the door and couldn’t help but frown and scold Song Mingli, “Why are you so restless all day long?”

Song Mingli was too lazy to talk to him and pulled down the curtain.

“You…what’s your attitude?!” Gu Qingshan said angrily.

Nanny Zhao stepped forward quickly and whispered something to him.

Gu Qingshan snorted coldly, "This is just nonsense!"

He strode in and saw Sun and Su Yi not far away.

He stepped forward and said to Sun, "You're making a scene at the door, are you afraid that the neighbors won't come to see you? Let her in quickly!"

When Su Yi heard this...Gu Lang didn't want Song Mingli to leave even more than Sun Shi!

She suddenly felt wronged, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Sun snorted, "Her second brother has been arrested! The Duke's Mansion is holding on to this matter and has asked the government to impose a heavy fine! If we let her in now, what if she gets us into trouble?"

Su Yi also chimed in, "Aunt is also considering the Marquis's Mansion!"

Gu Qingshan hesitated for a moment, "She is a married woman. Even if the Duke's Mansion is targeting the Song family, it won't involve us, right? Mother is worrying too much!"

"You are stupid! Take this opportunity to send her back to the Song family! Why would a girl like her run away so quickly from the Song family's affairs?"

Sun whispered, "When the time comes, the Song family will be in a panic when they see that you have sent everyone back. They will inevitably say nice things to you. They will also have to give you some compensation!"

"Then you can take her back!"

Sun's abacus was clacking loudly.

Gu Qingshan was a little hesitant... Mainly because the last time Song Mingli went back to her parents' home, he suffered a loss at the hands of those two brothers and his teeth were bleeding!

He felt scared when he thought of the two brothers now.

“Just ask Song Mingli directly and let her go back to ask her brother for money! I don’t want to go to the Song family…” Gu Qingshan whispered.
