Dong Zhiyao sneered when he heard this, "A bunch of good-for-nothings who rely on women for support. I'll just sit here and see who dares to take my life."
Wei Xirou was silent for a moment, a look of determination flashed across her face, "Bring me my sword."
Uncle Dong was the sisters' benefactor, and he killed people to protect her son and nephew.
The Song family had evil intentions first, and they were the first to file a complaint.
Wei Xirou walked out of the yard with a sword in hand.
A group of Song family members were standing outside angrily when they saw her come out alone.
Someone immediately put on an air of superiority and said, "On the Song family's territory, we were bullied right at our doorstep, and two of our clansmen were killed. Yan Zhi's daughter-in-law, hand over that Dong guy, and we will forgive him."
"That's right, they live in our house and eat our food, yet they dare to kill members of the Song clan. They simply don't take our Song family seriously!"
"Yes! Hand over Dong Zhiyao and avenge our people!"
"As a wife of the Song family, you are actually a traitor. What qualifications do you have to be the head of the family?!"
Wei Xirou listened quietly. After they finished speaking, she raised her head and asked, "Then do you elders know why Uncle Dong wanted to kill people?"
The voice on the other end paused.
Apparently, many people are in the know.
A small number of rational and kind-hearted tribesmen actually stand on Wei Xirou's side, such as the people who originally instructed Wei Xiyao to come to Shangjun.
However, they were of low status and did not dare to openly defy the family, so they could only choose to stand by and watch.
"My son Song Jingzhou, his last name is Song!"
Wei Xirou swept the crowd with a cold gaze, "Not only is his surname Song, he is also the only direct descendant living in the old house!"
"Why can't we kill those who dare to attack him?"
The person she glanced at avoided her gaze and said after a long pause, "No one wants to hurt Jingzhou, they just want..."
"What are you thinking?" Wei Xirou interrupted him, "You want the management rights of the Song family and Guangyan County? You want to use the child to force me to return to the rear residence?"
The Song family members were furious when the truth was ruthlessly revealed.
"Is this how you talk to your elders?"
Wei Xirou looked at the group with disappointment on their faces. "Why didn't you discuss this with me? Do you think I'm willing to worry about these trivial matters? If the situation wasn't urgent and the Song family wasn't in jeopardy, would you really think I was greedy for that little bit of power?"
"Since you want it so much, I'll give it to you."
Wei Xirou calmed down and said slowly, "The condition is that I take Jingzhou away with me."
There was an uproar on the other side.
leave?
There is only one month left until winter. Where can she, a woman, go with her child?
Could it be...
The younger generations reacted, "Sister-in-law wants to go back to Yizhou?"
"No!" Someone immediately jumped out to object, "As a wife of the Song family, you ran back to your parents' home with your child. Do you really think that our Song family has no one left?"
These people are all collateral relatives who rushed back after the disaster.
The closest ones are in the next county town, and the farther ones are from Liangzhou.
Without exception, everyone had heard that an elder of the Wei family led several thousand troops to Guangyan County to pick people up.
If Wei Xirou really returned to the Wei family's fortress, the feud between the two families would be complete.
It may be fine for the time being, but if the Wei family comes to Shangjun again one day, they will probably be punished for trying to kidnap Wei Wenyang.
"Whether it works or not is not up to you to decide."
Wei Xirou said calmly, "Are you afraid of the Wei family's revenge? Then have you elders ever thought about what they would do if Yanzhi's brothers or direct descendants came back one day and learned about this?"
"According to clan rules, those of you who attacked my son and disrespected the eldest branch of the family, and those who knew about it but did not report it, are guilty of complicity and should be removed from the family tree and expelled from the clan!"
According to the imperial system, in order to prevent officials from colluding with their relatives, officials could only serve in other places.
All the direct descendants of the Song family are in office, and no one knows whether they are alive or dead, and no one knows whether they will come back.
But everyone hopes they are safe.
Because once all the direct descendants are finished, the entire Song family will be finished.
In the end, the Song family compromised.
As long as they can obtain the management rights of the family and the county, what does it matter if the mother and son leave?
It's so dangerous outside, there's a lack of water and food, and there are monsters everywhere. It's best to die outside halfway, then nothing will happen.
As for Dong Zhiyao, of course he would leave with them.
Most people are actually very afraid of Dong Zhiyao. This man is extremely skilled and ruthless. If they really had to confront him, the Song family would be very scared.
If you can leave, leave as soon as possible and don't stay in the Song family's territory.
Wei Xirou ordered the maid to pack up her things as soon as she returned.
Time is running out and we need to set off immediately.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to move after winter comes.
Wei Xiyao was worried about her eldest cousin. In fact, she had been secretly observing her from outside. Seeing this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great if she could leave smoothly.
The maid worked quickly and packed the luggage quickly.
Without delay, they picked up their luggage, held the children, and were accompanied by the servants who had come as part of the dowry.
The group left the Song Mansion and walked towards the city gate.
The militiamen and civilians outside stared in amazement at the countless bags they were carrying.
This clearly shows that he is going on a long journey.
"Young Madam, where are you going?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Xirou did not hide it, "I plan to return to Yizhou immediately with the child. After today's separation, I don't know if we will have the chance to meet again. Take care, everyone."
Hearing that she was actually going to abandon Guangyan County and leave alone, a huge wave of emotion was stirred up in the hearts of those present.
Everyone has heard about what happened in the Song Mansion.
Not everyone does not know what is good and what is bad, and not everyone does not know how to be grateful.
