Chapter 220: White-Eyed Wolf
Yinquan saw the two men were very emotional. Although Song Hong didn't say anything, he was looking at him anxiously. He lowered his head to avoid their gaze and said, "The young master and the young lady are not feeling well and can't come. The master has important matters to attend to and is unable to come. The master specifically asked me to come and see you off."
Song Qin's face suddenly turned ugly. In order to exchange Song Jinxiu for his two children to be released, he cooperated with him and confessed his guilt, and was sentenced to exile today.
He never regretted what he did for them, but it was bad enough that Song Jinnan and the others had never visited him once during this period. Today, he was exiled from the capital, and they didn't even come. This made him extremely disappointed.
"What kind of illness do you feel unwell? Why do you feel unwell today?" Song Qin asked in a deep voice.
Old Madam Song also grabbed Yinquan's clothes. Her previously broken hand was twisted and powerless, but the other hand was so strong that it seemed as if she wanted to tear his arm.
"You're lying to me, aren't you? Song Jinxiu was so busy with his duties that he couldn't even come to see his grandmother or father. Did he escape on his own and abandon all of us useless people?!"
Yinquan's ears were numb from her voice. Seeing someone looking over at him from the city gate, he said anxiously, "The old lady has misunderstood. My husband really can't come because of something."
He struggled to break free from Madam Song's hand, took a step back, and then took off the bag on his back.
"My dear, you know that your journey is long, so I was asked to prepare some food, medicine, and clothing. It's cold there in winter, so I also have some things to keep you warm."
Yinquan handed the bundle to Song Hong who was standing beside him and lowered his voice: "The dry food in here can be stored. The weather is not too hot now. It can be eaten for a few days if wrapped in oil paper. There are also those thick coats."
He lowered his voice a little: "I have sewn two taels of silver on the chest of each sleeve. Be careful not to be discovered. The journey is long. If you need it, you can take it out for emergency..."
Snap——
Madam Song waved her hand and dropped the bundle to the ground. "Two taels of silver! What does Song Jinxiu think of us? He stepped on his own father's life to escape the imperial prison, and now he thinks he can get rid of us with just a few taels of silver?!"
She had hoped that Song Jinxiu would come to see them off, or even try to find a way to help them. Now that he had been reinstated, he could at least say a few words. But she never expected that the eldest grandson she had always valued would be so heartless.
The journey to the wilderness is three thousand miles away, and she may not be able to walk the distance in her current condition. With only a few taels of silver, she can't even afford medicine if she gets sick on the road. What can so many of them do?
Old Madam Song just felt that Song Jinxiu wanted to watch them die!
She was already terrified because she was imprisoned, and when she saw that Song Jinxiu was actually going to abandon them, she became even more panicked, and her voice was loud and sharp.
"Does Song Jinxiu think that just because His Majesty values him, he can abandon his parents and grandmother? He's a heartless, ungrateful person..."
"Bang!"
Madam Song suddenly pushed Madam Song, causing her to stagger and almost fall to the ground while she was yelling. Her voice suddenly stopped.
Song Hong was shocked and quickly supported his mother. He turned around and shouted angrily: "Are you crazy? How dare you hit your mother..."
"Bah! Whose mother is she? I don't have such an old shrew as my mother!"
"you!"
Old Madam Song was so angry that she reached out to slap Madam Song, but she was grabbed by the arm and pushed away.
Facing Song Hong's angry glare, even as if he wanted to attack her, Madam Song just raised her chin and sneered: "Want to hit me? Come on?"
"Do you still think you are in the Duke's Mansion, or do you think you are still the high and mighty Minister Song?"
"If you and your son hadn't been in cahoots with each other to deceive me for so many years, if you hadn't been so shameless as to cause all those things, I wouldn't have been dragged into this situation by you. If you dare to lay a finger on me today, I'll risk my life and drag you down with me!"
In the past, Madam Song never talked back to Song Hong and Old Madam Song. Even when she was scolded, she usually accepted it submissively. But now, she was full of ferocity when facing them.
The fierce look in his eyes frightened and frightened Old Madam Song, and Song Hong was also stunned for a moment.
Madam Song snorted coldly, walked to the side, picked up the bundle on the ground, and carefully dusted it off before saying, "The Duke's Mansion was raided a long time ago. The Song family is now penniless. You know the moral character of those Song family members. Do you think they are still like they were in the Duke's Mansion, asking for 1,800 taels of silver at a moment's notice?"
She looked at Song Hong with a sneer:
"You are lustful, selfish and heartless. When you took your beloved daughter back home, you completely disregarded the lives of everyone in the mansion. Now, instead of begging your precious daughter to come and see you, you blame Jin Xiu, whose future was almost ruined because of you. He was able to raise a few taels of silver, which was a conscience. If you don't want it, then don't take it!"
Madam Song held the bundle in her arms with great effort and said to Yinquan:
"Ignore them. Go back and tell your husband to take good care of himself and not to worry about us."
Yinquan whispered, "Don't worry, Madam. I will tell my husband." He paused and said, "My husband said that he couldn't rescue you and that he felt sorry for you. He asked you to be careful on your journey and that he would find a way to help you. If possible, he would take you back to the capital."
Mrs. Song thought these words were just to comfort her, but her eyes still turned red.
Yinquan lowered his head and said, "My dear, something has happened. I have to go back quickly, so I won't see you off."
Madam Song choked up and said, "Go back and take good care of your husband."
Yinquan bowed to Madam Song, then turned and left quickly, without even looking at Song Hong and Madam Song standing beside them.
Song Hong's face was filled with anger and embarrassment. Old Madam Song was so angry that she was shaking all over. Song Qin couldn't help but glance at the bundle in Madam Song's arms and suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, let me help you carry it..."
When he moved closer, Madam Song suddenly moved sideways to avoid him.
"No, I can get it myself!"
She looked at Song Qin with vigilance and disgust, then struggled to move away with the bag on her back, as if she was sorting out the things inside. In fact, she was quickly carrying several people to dig out the silver coins sewn into her clothes.
Song Qin's face turned pale and blue. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone calling out to the officers who were about to come and take them away.
It was a strange woman with her hair tied up and dressed as a servant. She came closer and said with a smile, "I am from Jiyun Lane. On the orders of my master, I have a few words to say to the Song family."
The officers were stunned. Jiyun Lane, isn't that...
The leader said quickly, "Young lady, please tell me. I will get out of the way."
"No, it won't take long."
Xichun smiled at them and walked up to the Song family members.
When Song Hong and the others heard that they were from Jiyun Lane, they subconsciously thought that they were sent by Song Tangning. However, Xichun didn't speak to them at all, but just turned her head to look at Song Qin.
"Master Song, I am here to see you off on Madam Ru's orders."
