Chapter 57: Burning Inn 3

"Madam... this is... what the master meant."

Song Mingzhu was immediately annoyed. "Master, it's impossible for you to arrange this. I say again, send Song Yu to Xuancheng!"

Song Rui frowned. What does uncle mean?

Acting can't be so realistic, right?

After all, fire is merciless and swords are merciless.

"Madam, Master..."

"Li Si!" Qiuyue shouted, "Are you going to disobey Madam like Yu Tao?"

"It's not me, it's the master..."

"If it's not him, why don't you send Song Yu to Xuancheng right away? If we delay any longer, Master Song will wake up!"

"No...I mean the master is here."

"What master is here?" Qiuyue was furious at Li Si's sudden rebellion. "Now there is only Madam here, and everything must be centered around Madam."

"The master is downstairs!" Li Si shouted anxiously, "He is downstairs right now."

The corridor suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs.

In the room, Song Mingen raised his eyelids.

You came just in time. It’s you, the big mantis, that I’ve been waiting for tonight!

Jiang Yunwan was very unhappy at the moment!

It seems that it was Wu Lingheng who wanted to kill the family of three.

In tonight's scene, Ming'en won't forgive Song Mingzhu and Chen Chunhua just because they don't have any murderous intentions towards them for the time being, right?

Ming En, please don’t let her down. We must break up the engagement tonight!

The man was wearing a loose hooded summer gown with a sky-blue cloud pattern.

He took off his hat, revealing a handsome and elegant face.

This person is Wu Lingheng.

"Brother-in-law is really you." Song Minglang didn't have the excitement of meeting a relative at this moment. He just patted his shoulder and said, "You have to go to the government office every day and can't get away. Why are you here?"

Chen Chunhua didn't have a good expression. "Ah Heng, why did you come here suddenly? Aren't you waiting for mother to come to the capital?"

Wu Lingheng glanced at Song Mingzhu's disgruntled expression, raised his hand and respectfully said to Chen Chunhua, "Mother-in-law, I happened to be in Jiangnan on business, and suddenly remembered that you were on your way north, so I took a detour and rushed over."

"I think you came here to cause trouble!" Chen Chunhua was furious. "There's still half an hour left and your brother-in-law will wake up! If it doesn't work tonight, we'll have to find another opportunity."

Wu Lingheng frowned slightly. He felt a little embarrassed to be scolded by Chen Chunhua like that. He was a fifth-rank official in the court.

"Don't worry, mother. Give me half an incense stick of time to explain it to you, and you will understand my son-in-law's intention."

"Ah Heng, then you can tell me."

Ah Heng came here in person, he really wanted to kill the eldest brother and his family of three!

Song Mingzhu wanted to knock open his head to see what was going on!

"Mom, Zhuzhu, Langdi, let's go to Mom's room and talk."

Song Rui wanted to follow in, but was stopped outside the door by the people accompanying Wu Lingheng.

Song Rui was angry. Is there anything he can't know?

"Okay, brother Rui, after making such a fuss for so long, let's go back to the room and talk to mom."

"Master Rui, what about Miss Yu?"

At this time, Song Yu was still lying on Zhang's mother's back pretending to be unconscious.

"Send her back to her room first."

Song Yu lay back on the table without moving.

Qiuyue glanced at the tightly closed door opposite. It might take half an incense stick of time for Lord Wu to convince her wife.

He took out a brown medicine bottle and placed it under the noses of the three members of the family one by one.

She wanted to make sure the family of three didn't wake up so quickly.

In Chen Chunhua's room, Song Minglang learned of Song Yu's true identity and was so shocked that he didn't know how to digest this fact.

I finally understand why Song Yu cannot appear in the capital.

"Brother-in-law, arranging for Song Yu to marry and have children in another county is the wisest solution I can think of."

Wu Lingheng shook his head. "If Song Yu were alive, it would be a catastrophic disaster for our Wu and Song families. Only if she dies can our Wu and Song families enjoy endless prosperity and wealth."

"Brother-in-law, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with our Song family. We Song family didn't steal the children of the Marquis' Mansion. I'm not well-educated, so don't lie to me."

Wu Lingheng: ...

He really underestimated Song Minglang.

"You and your mother-in-law both agree and support the idea of settling Song Yu in another county to marry and live out her life, right?"

"That's right."

Chen Chunhua said, "Ah Heng, just say what you want to say. We don't have much time."

Wu Lingheng smiled faintly, "Mother-in-law, what I mean is that Song Yu married and lived in another county. If we fail to keep a close eye on her and someone from the Marquis' Mansion discovers her, the wrath of the Marquis' Mansion will not only be borne by the Wu family, but the Song family will also be implicated. This matter...we are all involved."

"you……"

Chen Chunhua was speechless.

The person in front of him is no longer the young master of the Wu family whose family has fallen on hard times. Now he is smiling but hiding a knife behind his smile.

As the saying goes, if the people don't fight against the officials, the common people will suffer.

Song Minglang refused to give in. "Mother, sister, let's stop here and take Song Yu to the capital. When the Marquis' Mansion finds Song Yu, they will have to thank us for raising him. Our Song family will be prosperous and wealthy as well."

What the hell?

He would never let Wu Lingheng's evil plan succeed!

With the protection of his elder brother, the Jiang family, and the support of the Marquis' Mansion, his son will become a high-ranking official in the future.

It’s hard to describe how wonderful his life was as he just lived a life of idleness and waiting for death.

"Brother Lang, if you do this, our Wu family will be in great trouble. We may even be punished and beheaded. Do you want your sister to be beheaded with you?"

Song Minglang's face froze. He really hadn't thought about the consequences.

"Is it really that serious? It was a servant's mistake. If the Marquis's Mansion wants to hold someone accountable, they'll look for that servant. Besides, Song Yu was raised by the Song family after all, and she likes my sister. She'll definitely beg her father, the Marquis, to let the Wu family go. Mother, my sister, am I right?"

Chen Chunhua nodded, "That's right, Song Yu will go to the Marquis' Mansion to ask for mercy for the Wu family."

Wu Lingheng looked at Song Mingzhu, whose face was now a little conflicted. "Zhuzhu, have you decided to stop and let Song Yu return to the Marquis' Mansion? Our Huanhuan will lose everything."

"Brother Lang, Song Yu cannot be sent back to the Marquis' Mansion..."

Song Mingzhu was already feeling uneasy, and it became even more intense tonight.

He had been silent just now, with Master Shanhui's words in his mind, but he began to waver after hearing Song Minglang's words.

At this moment, when Wu Lingheng mentioned her daughter Huanhuan, her wavering heart was instantly calmed.

She told Song Minglang in detail about the benefits that her daughter Huanhuan would bring to both the Song and Wu families if she became the legitimate daughter of the marquis and married into the royal family in the future.

When Song Minglang heard that he could become a marquis in the future, he immediately agreed with Song Yu's fate of death.

"Mom, do you agree?"

Chen Chunhua was afraid of retribution for killing someone, but she also looked forward to a bright future for the Song family.

"I'm old now, and my mind is muddled. I can't tell right from wrong. You guys can handle it yourselves."

"Brother-in-law, I'll leave Song Yu to you. My eldest brother and his wife are about to wake up, so we need to hurry up and start the next scene."

Wu Lingheng looked at the mother and her two children with a solemn expression. He didn't beat around the bush and directly stated, "The next scene is that Song Yu and her family of three were burned, killed, and robbed by bandits, and died in the fire."

!!!

The mother and her two children all changed their expressions.

As expected, Ah Heng wanted to kill his elder brother for a bright future!

The panic and anxiety that Song Mingzhu had suppressed suddenly broke out uncontrollably, and she hurriedly picked up the herbal tea and drank it.

"Brother-in-law, are you kidding me?"
