Because of what happened to Nan Hongqiu in Hongye Mountain, the entire general's mansion was turned upside down.
Nan Hongqiu was tied up by the nun from Hongye Mountain and brought back. Now most people in the capital have spread the news. It is a complete disgrace to her, and even the entire general's mansion has lost face.
Although Nan Hongqiu returned home, she had caused such a big incident that Song Zhan could not bear to be cuckolded. He immediately called the whole family and threatened to divorce Nan Hongqiu.
The old lady sat on the chair, also very disappointed with Nan Hongqiu. She only hoped that Song Zhan would divorce her and marry a second wife to bear him children. "The second wife has done such a shameful thing now. She is really unworthy of being the mistress of my general's mansion. In this case, I can only divorce her. This is also a last dignification for you. When you return to the Nan Mansion, you will change your appearance and start a new life."
Nan Hongqiu was now determined to drag Song Wanning down with her even if it meant her own death, so she replied coldly, "Grandfather, there's something else going on here. My daughter-in-law has been framed. I'm waiting for her to find out who's behind this. Please, Grandfather, bring justice to her. Otherwise, those with ulterior motives will still be at large."
Song Zhan, standing aside, said with a cold face, "No matter how much you are framed, the fact that you are in an affair with that villain cannot be changed. In this case, it is better for you to take the divorce letter and return to your Nan Mansion as soon as possible so that we can part ways amicably."
He and Nan Hongqiu had been in a relationship for a long time, but they just had no reason to do so. Now that there was such a good excuse, how could he let it go?
Nan Hongqiu was now kneeling on the ground, looking embarrassed. She looked at Song Zhan who was standing beside her and cried, "Song Zhan, ah Song Zhan, I gave birth to your children and married you for so many years. I have sacrificed so much for this family. Now you see me being bullied and you actually want to divorce me."
Song Zhan was now determined. He said with a dark face, "You did such a shameless thing, you should be drowned. I'm still keeping you alive, so just be happy."
"Song Zhan, are you really so heartless?" Nan Hongqiu glanced at the eldest family standing over there with tears in her eyes. Song Wanning was now standing next to Song Jing, looking as if she was staying out of it.
Nan Hongqiu immediately spoke to Song Wanning, "Song Wanning, you did all this. It must have been you! Tell me, did you do this? Did you?"
Before Song Wanning could speak, Song Jing, who was standing beside her, said unhappily, "Since my sister-in-law said Wanning did it, then produce the evidence. Don't blame me for being so hard on you, my sister-in-law, for blaming my daughter with empty words."
Nan Hongqiu's arrogance couldn't help but drop a little when she heard Song Jing ask this. After thinking for a moment, she still said, "I originally wanted to take Wan Ning up the mountain to have a good rest, but who could have thought it would end up like this. Men are not allowed to enter Hongye Mountain. Who could have thought that a man would actually come in and find Wan Ning's room? If not brought by her, who else could it be?"
Song Wanning looked at Nan Hongqiu with a clear gaze, "Aunt keeps saying that it was me who caused this. Could it be that there is something else going on that we don't know about?"
When Nan Hongqiu heard Song Wanning say this, she naturally understood that she could not tell her plan out loud, so she could only swallow her anger.
Nan Hongqiu saw this and could only look at Song Jing hysterically, "Brother, Wan Ning hasn't married yet. If my reputation is ruined, Wan Ning's reputation will be ruined as well. Brother, why don't you think of a way for me to save my reputation? Otherwise, Wan Ning will also be criticized."
Song Jing ignored her words. "My sister-in-law is from the second branch after all. Now that such a scandal has happened, our first branch cannot stay out of it. For this reason, why not call the elders to come and divide the family."
When Song Jing said this, the old ancestor and Song Zhan who were sitting above were a little surprised.
After all, Song Jing's salary has been supporting the whole family for so many years. If the family is divided now, all the salary will be gone in the future. Song Zhan looked at Song Jing and smiled awkwardly. He looked at Song Jing and said, "Brother, are you kidding me? Now that mother is alive, if the family is divided, I'm afraid people outside will talk about it."
"Why would anyone criticize me for splitting up the family for my daughter's reputation?" Song Jing had made up his mind, his eyes cold as he spoke. "I'm not entirely unaware of how the old ancestor and the second branch treated Wan Ning in the past, but I just remember that we're brothers and a family after all. But now this family is more calculating than outsiders, so I don't think we need to put in the superficial effort anymore. Even though the family will be separated in the future, if Mother is willing to live with me, the eldest son, then the first branch will certainly serve her well."
Song Zhan became anxious upon hearing this and quickly said, "Those things in the past were all done by that jealous woman Nan Hongqiu. It really had nothing to do with me. If I divorce her now, our family will still be a happy one."
Seeing that Song Zhan didn't respond, Song Jing brought up the Prime Minister's Mansion and the current emperor. "Wan Ning is going to marry the Prime Minister soon. If we don't separate, Wan Ning's reputation will be bad, and it will also affect the Prime Minister's Mansion. I'm afraid the emperor will be angry if he finds out. If then, the Prime Minister specifically comes to ask us to separate, I'm afraid the situation will become even more ugly."
Seeing this, Song Zhan was at a loss for words and glanced at the old lady sitting above.
Seeing this, the old lady quickly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and began to cry, "I am not even dead yet, and this unfilial son wants to divide the family property. What a world this is! When I die, I will go to the underworld to see the master and tell him how this son treated me."
Song Jing now knew that the old lady was acting, but he still said, "Grandfather, I have no such intention. Although we have separated, our mansions are very close after all, so it will be convenient for us to travel back and forth. If you want, you can live with me."
"I won't leave. I want to live here. Song Jing, if you dare to divide the family, you will be unfilial!" The old lady was now determined not to let Song Jing divide the family.
The old lady also knew in her heart that Song Zhan was her biological son, and now that they wanted to divide the family, she would definitely not allow it.
If the family really split up, Song Zhan would not be able to find a good and respectable girl if he wanted to marry her in the future without the reputation of a mighty general. Not to mention how much money Song Jing could earn from his rewards, land and shops every year.
Seeing this, Song Zhan immediately yelled at Nan Hongqiu, "You bitch! If it weren't for you, why would my brother want to split up the family business now? Get your divorce papers and get out of the general's mansion!"
