"Just because I'm Ange'er's mother?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded. "If you were lying, An Ge'er wouldn't have been picked up and raised by my Xingyi. However, the last page of this letter says that Madam Song's housekeeper, Liang Wen, fell after you left and is now paralyzed in bed due to a stroke."
"See for yourself."
Xiao Lingyu handed the last page to Baili Qingluan.
"Now Madam Liang is unable to speak. The medicine she was drinking isn't the right medicine for her condition. It will only make her condition worse and she will die in half a year. I guess Madam Liang has been taking care of you for eight years and has shown you kindness. You gave her a large sum of money when you left so that her youngest son could buy a house in the suburbs of Beijing."
Baili Qingluan looked at the letter and instantly became furious, almost crushing it to pieces.
"Since the Song family could frame me, they naturally wouldn't show mercy to those who cared for me. For the past eight years, Nanny Liang and two other maids came to the dungeon every morning to help me wash and change clothes. Nanny Liang would always secretly bring me food. I remember her kindness, so I gave her some money before leaving, so that her youngest son wouldn't be unable to find a wife forever."
Xiao Lingyu said, "It's because you appreciated her small kindness that the Song family's lies have been exposed. It's now the fifth day, and in two days she'll be able to speak and expose the Song family's ugly faces. But Nanny Liang is only a servant after all, and her words carry little weight. Her confession won't be a fatal blow to the Song family. The Song family might even try to argue. If we want to leave the Song family powerless, we need to add fuel to the fire."
Baili Qingluan doesn't care whether the Song family members quibble or not. If something can be solved by force, then use force to solve it, and fight until the Song family admits it!
But Princess Xiao wanted to end the war between the two countries as soon as possible. Her son was her adopted son, and she taught him painting with all her heart.
She didn't want to embarrass her son, so she said:
"Sister Princess, how do you think we can add fuel to the fire?"
Xiao Lingyu was silent for a long time, then uttered two words, "Backstab!"
"Backstab?"
"That's right, the Song family exposed their crimes, and the most suitable person to do this is Song Linyuan."
"He can't possibly disobey his father! Betray the Song family!" Baili Qingluan felt it was impossible without even thinking about it.
"How can we know if we don't try? He's been lingering in front of the Princess's Mansion, refusing to leave Huayang County. This shows that he suspects An Ge'er is his son, and he wants to see An Ge'er's true face. This shows how obsessed he is with his son. If he wants to see his son, he has to expose the Song family's crimes."
"He can't possibly reveal himself. I won't let them meet, nor will I let them recognize each other." Baili Qingluan will never forget the scene where Song Linyuan threw his son to the ground with his own hands. "He would have killed my son long ago. How could he still have a son!"
"Don't get excited, don't get excited!" Xiao Lingyu hurriedly comforted him, "Ange'er now knows Song Linyuan's identity and hasn't acknowledged him as his father. Even if Song Linyuan knew that Ange'er was his son, Ange'er would never acknowledge him from the bottom of his heart."
Seeing Baili Qingluan calm down, Xiao Lingyu continued, "Song Linyuan betrayed your sincerity so much, causing you to suffer for so many years, endure so much hardship, almost starving to death, and almost being separated from An Ge'er. I don't think you can let him go so easily, right?"
Baili Qingluan nodded, "Of course not. I won't let him die easily. I will let him suffer while he's alive. He must also experience the suffering I've endured."
Xiao Lingyu said, "If that's the case, why not give him the hope of recognizing his son? Let him expose his crimes and stab the Song family, and then let his hopes be dashed and there is no hope of recognizing his son. Wouldn't that make him very painful and suffer?"
Baili Qingluan really didn't want Song Linyuan to see An Ge'er's true appearance. After a long struggle between her conscience and her conscience, she managed to squeeze out a few words with difficulty, "...Then I'll do as you wish."
The two returned to the warm room to continue their dinner.
After the meal, everyone had a quick digestion and then returned to their rooms.
Su Ning'an asked the villa manager for high-quality, long-lasting charcoal.
He took the servants to replace the charcoal braziers in the rooms of his two mothers and Xu Yulan.
I also prepared water for the two mothers to wash their feet.
When he arrived at the hot spring villa, he had to do everything himself every night.
He could have asked a servant to do it, but he wanted to do it himself; he couldn't sleep unless he did it.
"Mom, come and soak your feet!"
Finally, Su Ning'an carried two large buckets of hot water into the large suite he and Baili Qingluan shared.
"Ang'er, let's soak our feet together. Mother has something to tell you."
Su Ning'an put his small foot-soaking bucket together with Baili Qingluan's big foot-soaking bucket. After filling them with hot water, the mother and son sat together to soak their feet.
"Mother, what do you want to tell me?"
"Would you like to go to the yamen to meet Song Linyuan without any makeup?"
"No! Song Linyuan will never see my true face in this lifetime. I will die the moment he throws me down. I have a father and that's enough for me!"
Baili Qingluan smiled with relief, "Yes, it's enough that you have a father. Mother was framed by the Song family, and there will always be a time when the truth will come to light. The Song family will be beheaded and all nine clans will be exterminated. Song Linyuan's reputation will be completely ruined, and he may even be beheaded in public."
"They deserve to be killed!" Su Ning'an said indignantly, "The Song family lied to the point of causing war between the two countries. Many soldiers must have died, and many civilians on the border may have died as well. The death of the Song family is not a pity, but it would be too easy for them. Mother has suffered so much and still can't get enough to eat. I must at least detain the Song family in a dungeon and let them go hungry for eight years. They will be dizzy from hunger and cannot die to relieve my hatred!"
Baili Qingluan: "Then let's do as you wish. Let them suffer! Your princess's mother has secretly collected evidence and has made some progress..."
Baili Qingluan told Su Ning'an in detail about the progress of the investigation and the matter of asking Song Linyuan to reveal his crimes.
"Will that mean the war can end sooner, and I can see my grandparents, my uncle, and my second uncle sooner?"
"right!"
"Then I will reluctantly meet with Song Linyuan to confuse him and make him quickly reveal his crimes, but..."
"What's wrong, Ange?"
"Am I that important to Song Linyuan? After all, he cruelly threw me down back then. I'm not sure I can confuse him, right?"
"This... don't think about it. With your princess mother here, she can force him to confess his crimes. He also has a daughter who will be seven years old after the New Year."
"Mother, since he still has a daughter, there's no need for me to intervene!"
"Song Shuyi won't be seven until next May. Beiyi law prohibits children under seven from being implicated in family crimes. The war cannot be extended until next May, as that would result in many deaths."
"Mom, I know what to do."
She’s just a sister, so just help her out from time to time.
After all, she is the daughter of that bad woman!
Anyway, he wouldn't pamper her as much as Xier's sister.
