Startled by Song Yue's imposing manner, Song Hengchuan hesitated to lower his hand, awkwardly flicking his sleeve to put it down.
Song Yue lifted her skirt and knelt on the ground, straightening her body, and kowtowed three times to the Grand Madam: "Grandmother, for the sake of the Duke of Jingguo's peace, your granddaughter is willing to leave the Duke of Jingguo's mansion immediately."
Even if she were to be driven away, the Duke of Jingguo would not dare to let her go.
As expected, the old lady scolded, "Nonsense! This is your home, where do you think you're going?"
“But some people can’t stand their granddaughter.” Song Yue sniffed, looking aggrieved.
The old lady rubbed her temples. Ever since Song Yue returned, there hadn't been a moment of peace in the manor. She knew that some people disliked Song Yue and were eager to kill her.
But how could Song Yue die?
"Someone, search Mama Wang's yard!"
"Madam!" Madam Wang panicked and kowtowed to the Madam, crying out that she was innocent.

For a lackey, this was a huge sum of money.
"Mother Wang, where did this banknote come from?" the old lady questioned.
Mama Wang panicked and became incoherent, stammering and unsure how to begin. She subconsciously looked towards Granny Yang.
Several times, Granny Yang wanted to step forward and identify Song Yue, but she watched as Song Yue single-handedly turned the situation around.
She stopped in her tracks, not daring to interrupt.
"Gag him, drag him out, and beat him to death!" the old lady ordered.
Mother Wang stared in horror, and before she could beg for mercy, her mouth was gagged and she was dragged away.
“Grandmother!” Song Hengchuan said in confusion, “This is clearly Song Yue’s fault. Wang Mama is innocent. Song Yue should be severely punished.”
"Brother Chuan!" The Grand Madam interrupted coldly, "Yue'er is your own sister. You should protect her, not severely punish your own sister for the sake of a servant."
The old lady looked at Song Hengchuan and disappointment was already showing in her eyes. Just as Song Yue had said, he was too impetuous.
"grandmother……"
"Enough!" the old lady scolded, ordering Song Hengchuan to go back and continue kneeling as punishment, and to kneel for another day.
