Yan Yuzhi's mind had long since flown away. He only perfunctorily glanced at Guan Surong and said indifferently, "In that case, Surong should go back early and apologize to the general."

Guan Surong saw Yan Yuzhi's current attitude and immediately knew that he was probably wavering. A look of despair immediately appeared on her face, and she asked in a tearful voice, "Yuzhi, you won't not marry me, will you? My uncle is so angry now..."

"How could that be? Since we've agreed, I'll naturally keep my word." Although Yan Yuzhi was comforting Guan Surong, his eyes were erratic. If he married Guan Surong now, he was afraid that he would no longer have any way to further the Yan family's development in the capital. However, right now, he was also in a state of confusion. He just waited until he returned to the mansion to discuss with Madam Yan before making any plans.

The two of them then dispersed, and Guan Surong took a carriage back to the general's mansion. When Mrs. Guan saw her daughter coming back, she hurried forward to ask.

"What's going on now? Your uncle just came back and told me to move out quickly. He doesn't want us, mother and daughter, to live in the general's mansion anymore." Madam Guan was also anxious now. She looked at Guan Surong and said, "But what did your uncle find out?"

Guan Surong nodded slowly, looked at Madam Guan, and said calmly, "I don't know what happened now, but my uncle found out about my meeting with Yan Yuzhi at Xianhe Tower, and now he's furious."

Guan Surong now had a worried look on her face. She looked at Madam Guan and said calmly, "Mother, now Yan Yuzhi knows that I am not my uncle's biological niece. What should I do? If he doesn't want to marry me, then I..."

In order to tie Yan Yuzhi down, Guan Surong has now become his wife. If Yan Yuzhi doesn't marry her, it will be difficult for her to find a husband in the future.

"Now we can only go and beg your uncle to show some mercy and let us stay here until you get married." Madam Guan's face was not looking good now. She said in a deep voice, "If we don't have the protection of the General's Mansion, we don't know what the future holds for us mother and daughter. After all, our two families are relatives. If we make a scene too ugly, it won't be good if the news gets out."

After hearing what Madam Guan said, Guan Surong also became anxious. She looked at Madam Guan and said, "Mother, what should I do now?"

"Go and apologize to your uncle. He's a soft-hearted man after all." Madam Guan sighed and said slowly, "I have no choice but to shamelessly beg for mercy. If all else fails, I'll go to the Song Mansion next door to get some reinforcements and ask the old ancestor to help us."

Seeing that Madam Guan had come up with an idea, Guan Surong immediately went to find Song Jing and knelt outside the study door to admit her mistake to Song Jing inside. "Uncle, I know I was wrong. Please forgive Rong'er this time."

Guan Surong knelt down to admit her fault, while Madam Guan went to the Song Mansion to call the old lady over. After all, the old lady was close to Madam Guan.

Although the old lady was not Song Jing's biological mother, she was still a stepmother. No matter what, Song Jing had to respect her and do some face-saving work.

The old lady had just arrived when she saw Guan Surong kneeling on the ground. She immediately went forward to help Guan Surong up from the ground. "My dear girl, what are you doing? You are so delicate, what will happen if you get hurt from kneeling?"

Who would have thought that Guan Surong didn't move at all, but instead looked at the old lady sobbingly, "Grandfather, it was Surong who did something wrong. Now I come to ask for your forgiveness. Please let me continue to kneel."

Seeing this, the old lady pounded her cane on the ground and said to the maid outside the study, "Go in and call your master out."

Seeing this, the maid at the door responded, lifted the curtain and went into the study.

After a while, Song Jing came out. Seeing Madam Guan and the old ancestor standing at the door, Song Jing just looked at the old lady and forced a smile. "It's a rare occasion for the old ancestor to come here. How can you stand here in this scorching sun?"

"It really hurts me to see my granddaughter kneeling on the ground. I will stand as long as she kneels, so that people outside can see how you, a mighty general, are filial to your mother at home." The old lady was determined to stand here, staring at Song Jing with her neck stiff.

Song Jing frowned and glanced at Guan Surong lying on the ground before speaking, "Mother, I never told her to kneel. It was Sister Rong who wanted to kneel down herself."

"She has made a mistake, but she is still a family member. Instead of helping to find a solution, you want to kick them out? As a brother, you are really capable of such a thing." The old lady took the money from the elders and cursed them non-stop. "Although Su Rong is not your biological niece, she has lived in the mansion after all. How can you really live with your conscience by standing by and watching her do nothing?"

"Mother, what do you think we should do now?" Although Song Jing was dissatisfied, he couldn't refute. He just looked at the old lady, wanting to see what she would say.

"Then of course, let them stay here until Su Rong gets married. Now that she and Yan Yuzhi are in love, she should stay in the general's mansion until she gets married. As her uncle, you should also think carefully about Rong Jie'er. The most important thing is to let her get married in a dignified manner." The old lady's eyes flashed, and she looked at Song Jing and said, "You want to ask her to leave now, and you can really do it."

"Mother, I'm no longer Rong Jie'er's legitimate uncle, so it's not my place to discuss marriage with her. It's up to my sister to make the decision herself." Song Jing's face wasn't looking good. He looked at the old lady and said, "Since mother has spoken, let Rong Jie'er continue to live in the general's mansion until she gets married. However, I have to be clear about Rong Jie'er's status. Now that Rong Jie has done something so shameful, if I don't tell her, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of our general's mansion."

"You..." The old lady was naturally unhappy when she saw this. She immediately raised her sleeve to wipe away the non-existent tears on her face. "I'm afraid you're not only dissatisfied with Rong Jie'er, but also resentful of me as your mother. Back then, I became your father's concubine. Who could have imagined that this would happen today? In this case, I might as well die sooner and see your father so that I can tell him how you treated me."

Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Song Lan heard the sound of the wind coming. He looked at the whole family and said with a smile, "Grandfather, you are finally here. I just came back from outside and heard someone talking about Sister Rong and Yan Yuzhi. I guess Grandfather is taking charge and making Sister Rong kneel as punishment."
