Not only Gu Qingshan, but even Gu Changhai, went into the inner courtyard under the pretext of paying respects to his grandmother and mother, and took the opportunity to wander outside his sister-in-law's courtyard.

Xiao Cui is also here, and the Qichi Courtyard is very lively inside and outside.

Song Mingli was too lazy to deal with these people.

She helped her second brother and was able to protect the people in her own yard, so she had already achieved her wish.

As for the rest, they are all extra gains and gifts from God.

"Xiao Cui, I'm tired and need to go to sleep for a while. Please see the prince off for me." Song Mingli sent the two away.

“Be polite!” Gu Qingshan was anxious.

"Sir, if you have anything to say, let's talk tomorrow! I got up early today because I was worried about my second brother, but Aunt Zhao, under the pretext of being my mother, stopped me from going out.

"They even brought a few sturdy women to beat up the maids in my yard. I felt so upset...

Song Mingli looked at him calmly, "After the prince has clarified these matters, we can talk about it later."

Gu Qingshan took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation this time!"

Xiao Cui held Gu Qingshan's arm and wanted to see him out.

Gu Qingshan, however, seemed to be avoiding suspicion, and quickly shook off her hand, then hurried to look at Song Mingli.

He found that Song Mingli didn't even look at him, but went straight into the inner bedroom.

His heart suddenly felt empty, and a sour and astringent feeling spread.

As soon as Gu Qingshan went out, he saw Gu Changhai peeking outside the yard.

He immediately thought of Song Mingli's bright face.

His face darkened, "Chang Hai! What are you doing here? Come here!"

Gu Changhai didn't see Song Mingli, as he was taken away by his brother grabbing his ear.

When Mrs. Gu from Chongming Hall heard about what happened today, she was so shocked that her eyes widened and she choked when she drank water.

"No way?" Madam Gu frowned, "This trend is not right?

"The Gu family is now in a weaker situation and is increasingly struggling... The Song family, on the other hand, is on the rise, turning danger into fortune, and is thriving like a fish in water...

"No! This isn't right! Something must be wrong!"

Madam Gu called her trusted Nanny Shi and said, "Go find that master and bring my token with you. Do not let anyone else do it. Go and ask for it yourself!"

Nanny Shi quickly put away Madam Gu's token and bowed in agreement.

That evening, Nanny Shi changed into coarse cloth clothes and quietly left the Gu Mansion through the corner gate.

It's quiet here in Prince Jing's Mansion.

But Chu Yanchen's heart was not at peace at all.

"It's not human to pretend to be injured!" Chu Yanchen said irritably, "I'm back in Beijing, but I can't go anywhere. It's really troublesome!"

He didn't know the situation outside yet and was just waiting for Ling Xiao to come back and report.

Ling Xiao accompanied the eldest Young Master Song into the prison, and after meeting the second Young Master Song, he came back.

"How is it? Did you release the person?" Chu Yanchen asked immediately when he saw him coming back to report.

Ling Xiao shook his head, "Ms. Song did not allow me to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to ask for someone."

"Huh? Why?" Chu Yanchen looked puzzled, "She and Song Er have a bad relationship?"

"That's not the case..." Ling Xiao scratched his head, "In my humble opinion, she may not want to owe His Majesty such a big favor."

"She only asked me to take her to the prison to see the Second Young Master Song."

When Chu Yanchen heard this, he was filled with anger.

"Heh... now you don't want to owe me a favor? Just let her do it?"

“But when we arrived at the prison gate, Miss Song suddenly left… She didn’t even enter the prison yard.

"I only took Young Master Song in once. But Young Master Song was also stubborn and refused to say anything, which made Young Master Song so angry that he left in anger."

Chu Yanchen closed his eyes and was amused by this family.

"One is timid, one is pedantic, and one is stubborn!

"They are all General Song's children, why is there no one as generous as General Song!"

Ling Xiao was stunned...

Cowardly? Are you talking about Miss Song?

Ling Xiao felt that his prince seemed to have misunderstood something!

He scratched his head, thinking about how to explain to the prince... Miss Song didn't seem like a timid person.

But the generous Chu Yanchen has already spoken, "She doesn't need to beg, I will just repay her for her kindness!

"Go to Jingzhao Prefecture now and tell them to release him! Go to the Duke's Mansion and tell Zhao Yi that if he can't discipline his son, I don't mind doing it for him!"

Ling Xiao was stunned. "Why is the prince so biased towards the Song family?"

"Your Highness," the guard whispered at the door, "Xiao Wu has woken up. The imperial physician said that now that he is awake, there is no problem. The rest can be recovered slowly!"

The room was silent for a moment.

Ling Xiao was delighted, "I want to go see Xiao Wu tonight!"

He and Xiao Wu have both been following the prince since they were young, one in the light and the other in the dark, protecting the prince's safety.

Chu Yanchen couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, "The Song family is worthy of my favoritism."

Ling Xiao was slightly startled, and then he remembered the reason why Xiao Wu was injured, and immediately bowed his hands in a serious manner, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ling Xiao went to Jingzhao Prefecture and conveyed Prince Jing's oral order, asking Jingzhao Prefecture to release Song Yunqi.

The prefect of Jingzhao looked at Ling Xiao in surprise.

"Did General Ling make a mistake?"

Ling Xiao frowned unhappily, "What's wrong? Two people were fighting in the street, and Zhao Ziye brought more people, including five or six servants! Why did they only arrest Song Yunqi?

"If you want to arrest people, arrest Zhao Ziye and his servants and lock them up together!"

"No, no..." Jingzhao Prefecture Yin hurriedly explained, "Song Yunqi has been released, and Duke Qin came to pick him up personally.

"It was quite a big show. They prepared firecrackers, mountain spring water, and gorgeous clothes to get the man out of prison..."

This time it was Ling Xiao's turn to look at the prefect in surprise and confusion, "Is the prefect not confused from sleep?"

"General Ling, you are joking. It's only 3 p.m. How could I be so sleepy?" The prefect laughed, "I thought General Ling went to the Duke's Mansion to make an explanation. So you don't know about this?

"Why did Duke Qin do this?"

Ling Xiao had no idea why.

As soon as he left the Jingzhao government office, he went to inquire about the matter.

Although the person has come out, he can't go back and explain to the prince unless he gets to the bottom of it!

This time, Chu Yanchen waited longer at the mansion...

He was waiting until he wanted to go out himself, but Ling Xiao came back with a strange expression.

"What? Jingzhao Prefecture refuses to release us?" Chu Yanchen had already changed into clothes for going out.

Ling Xiao quickly shook his head, "The person has been released..."

"Then why did you come back so late..."

"And he had already been released before I arrived." Ling Xiao said, "Duke Qin went to the prison himself and politely asked him to come out."

Chu Yanchen: “…”

That old guy Zhao Yi is well-informed. He knows that he takes care of the Song family, so he deliberately gives him face?

"I wondered why, so I went to find out. But guess what?"

"Do you believe that I will beat you?"

"Your Highness, calm down. It turned out that it was Miss Song who helped Duke Qin's Mansion to find their long-lost daughter!"

Ling Xiao's eyes widened as he said, "Not only did we find the legitimate daughter, but we also saved the life of the Duke's wife and cured her mental illness!

"Duke Qin's Mansion was so grateful to Miss Song that they sent several carts of gifts to the Gu family."

Chu Yanchen sat on the edge of the bed, his expression changing unpredictably from surprise to confusion, and then to suspicion.

The spacious bedroom was silent for a long time before he could hear him take a deep breath. "She is quite capable... Could this also be what she dreamed about?"
