Song Jing has always been a man who values ​​the reputation of his relatives. Seeing Madam Guan come to this point, his expression became complicated. He stepped forward and helped Madam Guan up from the ground. Looking at Madam Guan, he said helplessly, "Sister, why are you like this now?"

"Brother, if you don't help me this time, I won't get up." Mrs. Guan felt pity for Song Jing and tears fell one by one, looking extremely weak. "I only ask that you help Su Rong and me one last time. Let us stay here until Su Rong gets engaged, and then we will move out immediately."

Song Jing stood there and sighed, "Sister, I can only help you this last time. But I want to make it clear now. When the Yan family comes, I will definitely explain the relationship between our two families clearly so that no one will misunderstand."

"Brother, you are the one who makes the decision." When Mrs. Guan heard this, a smile finally appeared on her face, and she slowly stood up.

Madam Guan pulled Guan Surong up and said with gratitude, "Why don't you thank your uncle quickly?"

Guan Surong bowed to Madam Guan and said hurriedly, "Thank you, uncle, for helping Surong this time."

"Now that things have come to this, you two, mother and daughter, should just go back to the courtyard and rest." Song Jing looked at the old lady, "Grandma, I'll have my men prepare some dishes that you like. Why don't you have a good meal and rest here?"

"I'm so angry now, how can I eat?" The old lady was satisfied to see that Song Jing finally didn't kick Madam Guan and her daughter out. "I have to go back home now. I can't get used to living in your general's mansion."

Seeing this, Song Jing had no choice but to ask the two maids around him to send the old lady back.

Mrs. Guan and Guan Surong finally got this opportunity, and they were anxiously waiting in the courtyard. Mrs. Guan looked at Guan Surong and asked calmly, "Did Yan Yuzhi say when he would marry you?"

Guan Surong now also had a sad face. "Yan Yuzhi only said that he was going back home to discuss it with his family, but he didn't say when he would come."

"You have to come after all, right? If so, our plan as mother and daughter will fail." Mrs. Guan paced back and forth with a handkerchief in her hand.

"Yuzhi shouldn't be that kind of person." Guan Surong sat on the chair, feeling unsure. "Now he's in a difficult position. If he doesn't propose marriage, he'll probably be criticized."

Although Madam Guan and Guan Surong were anxious, they had no other way to change the current situation. They could only wait in the General's Mansion for the people from the Yan Mansion to come.

At this time, when Mrs. Yan heard about this at the Yan Mansion, her face was filled with disbelief. She looked at Yan Yuzhi and asked, "Did General Song Jing really say that Guan Surong is not his biological niece?"

Yan Yuzhi nodded with a dejected look on his face. "General Song Jing is very angry. He says Su Rong has brought bad reputation to the General's Mansion and wants to kick her out."

"What should I do now..." Madam Yan thought, frowning again, "A lot of people know about your relationship with her now. If I don't marry her, I'm afraid you'll abandon her after having an affair with her, and it will be difficult to find a husband in the future."

"When I came back, I specifically inquired about it. Guan Surong is only the granddaughter of the old lady of the general's mansion's sister. And General Song Jing was born to my late wife. She is not even a relative of Guan Surong at all. How can she be considered a real granddaughter? She just shamelessly came to the general's mansion and was thinking about my son." When Yan Yuzhi said these words, his face was full of regret. He said coldly, "I guess she set up this trap from the beginning, waiting for my son to take the bait. It's my son's fault for not asking for details, so he fell into her trap."

Madam Yan sighed now, "There's no point in saying all this. Our only plan now is to go to the General's Mansion and see what's going on. If General Song Jing is really angry with Guan Surong, then she can't be married off no matter what. She'll probably be a concubine."

Yan Yuzhi also agreed with what Madam Yan said. "Mother is right. If Guan Surong didn't have the General's Mansion, her father would only be a fifth-rank official who passed away last year. With no family connections or property, she came to the capital to seek refuge with relatives. If my son marries her as his principal wife, it will be of no use to the family business in the future."

Mrs. Yan and Yan Yuzhi discussed a countermeasure and immediately sent a letter to the General's Mansion and went there.

Although the Yan family is a merchant family, they are more than enough to match Guan Surong.

When Madam Yan and Yan Yuzhi entered, they were quickly ushered into the main hall by a maid. Yan Yuzhi immediately saw Guan Surong sitting on a chair. She was wearing a peach-colored dress, which made her skin look delicate and rosy.

Yan Yuzhi's heart moved, and he thought that it would not be a disgrace to have such a woman as his concubine.

Song Jing and Song Lan were also in the hall. Madam Yan brought Yan Yushang forward and said to Song Jing with a smile, "General, I've heard of your great reputation outside. It's a rare opportunity to meet you now. I'm impressed by your extraordinary talent and heroic demeanor."

As Mrs. Yan spoke, she set her eyes on Song Lan and said flatteringly with a smile, "I believe this must be General Song Lan. He is also a handsome man, unforgettable at first sight."

Seeing that there was something to discuss, Song Jing patiently spoke up, "It's rare for Madam Yan and Mr. Yan to come here so early. Please take a seat."

Mrs. Yan sat aside, but didn't even glance at Mrs. Guan.

"General, my son has done some foolish things, bringing disgrace upon the reputation of the General's Mansion. I have already severely reprimanded him. Now I think it is my fault for not teaching him well enough that he has done such a thing. I came here today to discuss my marriage with Su Rong, so that I can make amends."

Song Jing just smiled faintly and said, "Madam Yan is too polite. I'll tell you the truth. Su Rong is the granddaughter of my mother's younger sister. The old lady felt sorry for her younger sister, so she took Su Rong to live in her mansion temporarily. Although the Song Mansion and the General's Mansion are still relatives, they are separated after all. Now, Madam, just treat the General's Mansion as the host. You can discuss Su Rong's marriage directly with Su Rong's mother."

When Madam Yan heard this, she understood what Song Jing meant. He had cleared himself of all charges, and the only thing missing was to make it clear that Guan Surong had nothing to do with the General's Mansion.

Madam Guan, who was sitting next to Madam Yan, could no longer contain her excitement and smiled flatteringly at Madam Yan, "Madam Yan, now that things have come to this, I wonder when the Yan family will come to propose marriage?"

"Proposal?" Madam Yan seemed to have heard something funny. "In our Yan family, we have always considered Su Rong as a concubine."
