Ever since Xue Xinghong learned about the affair between Yan Yuzhi and Guan Surong, he has been thinking of ways to ruin Yan Yuzhi's reputation. He has people guarding the bottom of the Xianhe Tower every day, and let them report if they see Yan Yuzhi coming.
Since Yan Yuzhi received instructions from Madam Yan, he has launched an increasingly fierce offensive against Guan Surong. Now the two of them are meeting secretly in Xianhe Tower and are even more inseparable.
Guan Surong was in the side room, always acting like a little girl. Her skin was whiter than snow, and her cheeks were slightly red. She looked at Yan Yuzhi and said, "I am now a lady from a wealthy family. If I follow my husband to a place like this for a secret meeting, I am afraid my reputation will be ruined if we are discovered. When will my husband come to propose marriage? I am afraid that if it takes too long, it will not be good. If my family finds out, my uncle will break my legs."
Yan Yuzhi looked at Guan Surong's charming appearance, and his heart became more and more happy. "Rong'er, don't worry. Once I have prepared the dowry, I will naturally go to the general's mansion to propose marriage... Rong'er, wait for me for a few more days. During these few days, I will prepare the betrothal gifts. I will eventually marry you in a decent way."
Yan Yuzhi paused as he spoke, then turned to Guan Surong and said, "But Rong'er, the general's mansion is powerful now, and I'm just from a merchant family. What if the general finds out and doesn't want to marry you to me? These days, the imperial city has important officials, and merchants are not valued. I'm afraid... the general won't agree with us."
Guan Surong couldn't help but frown after hearing this. Her eyes flickered as she slowly looked at Yan Yuzhi and said, "Although my uncle might not be happy, who made me like you? If I insist on marrying you, I'm sure my uncle won't be able to do anything to me. Besides, you and I have come to this point today. If I don't marry you, it will not end well."
Yan Yuzhi's face lit up with a smile, and he hugged Guan Surong into his arms, saying tenderly, "It is a blessing from heaven that I can have Rong'er now."
The two were still flirting in the side room, unaware that Xue Xinghong's men had already passed the news that the two had gone upstairs.
Xue Xinghong now has no status to go to Xianhe Tower to cause trouble. What he has to do is to spread this matter to Song Jing's ears and let Song Jing teach Yan Yuzhi a lesson.
After all, Xue Xinghong now thinks that Guan Surong is Song Jing's niece whom he values very much. In this case, once Song Jing knows about their affair, he will surely not forgive Yan Yuzhi.
Now, the game has been set up.
Song Jing had just returned from the military camp. Passing by a tavern, he wanted to bring some good food home, but he didn't expect to hear gossip from the general's mansion.
The man sitting on the stool spoke up, "Yan Yuzhi already has eighteen concubines at home, and now he's out to seduce girls again. I just saw Yan Yuzhi take a beautiful girl to the Xianhe Tower, and I'm afraid he hasn't come out yet. The moral decline of this world is really unbearable to watch."
"That's right. Look at this girl now. She's not from an ordinary family. She's dressed like she belongs to an official family, and yet she can do such a thing." The man beside him sighed a few times and looked at the people beside him and said, "I just don't know whose family this girl is from. I'll tell my family not to propose marriage to such a family in the future."
"I heard..." The man leaned closer and whispered in the man's ear, "She's the niece of General Song from the Mighty General's Mansion."
The man beside him almost dropped his jaw in shock when he heard this. "General Song Jing, a general who dedicated himself to his country and his people, actually has a niece like this?"
"Who says it isn't? I'm afraid this man and woman are still doing something shameful in Xianhe Tower." The man sighed, "If I were the general, I would be furious."
What the two of them said was right. Although Song Jing was furious, he did not lose his composure. Instead, he took the things handed to him by the waiter and went to the Crane Tower. Now, he wanted to see if Guan Surong really came out of the Crane Tower.
The reputation of the General's Mansion has finally improved, but who would have thought that it would be ruined again by this niece. How could Song Jing not be angry?
Song Jing went into the Xianhe Tower specifically and sat in a private room on the second floor, looking at the entire Xianhe Tower's side rooms.
If someone came out, he would definitely see them at a glance.
After Song Jing drank two cups of tea, he saw the door of the wing room open and Yan Yuzhi came out, followed closely by Guan Surong.
Song Jing was getting angrier and angrier as he watched Guan Surong. He had taken in Guan's mother and son out of the goodwill of their relationship, but he hadn't expected that they would go to the General's Mansion and use the name of the General's Mansion to ruin its reputation outside.
How could Song Jing bear it any longer? He immediately went downstairs to wait for the two of them to come down.
Guan Surong was so frightened when she saw Song Jing that she had no choice but to go up to him and act cute, "Uncle, how can you be here?"
"What do you think?" Song Jing's face was not looking good. He glanced at Guan Surong and then at Yan Yuzhi who was standing behind Guan Surong, and said coldly, "I was wondering why you were always away from home recently, but I didn't expect you to come here. It gave me a big surprise."
"Uncle, I..." Guan Surong's face was pale now. She wanted to explain but she didn't know how much Song Jing had seen.
At this moment, Yan Yuzhi, who was standing behind Guan Surong, spoke. He took two steps forward and looked at Song Jing, as if he was ready to take responsibility. "General Song, I really like Su Rong, and I hope you will help us. I will definitely treat Su Rong well in the future. Please give me a chance."
"You don't need me to give you a chance." Song Jing sneered now. "Sister Rong has her own mother. You can discuss this matter with her mother yourself. I'm not her biological uncle. I'm just related to the old lady in the mansion. It's not my turn to decide her marriage. But Sister Rong has ruined the reputation of the general's mansion. I will take your mother and move out tomorrow. It will be considered a respectable move for your family."
Yan Yuzhi, who was standing behind Guan Surong, was dumbfounded after hearing what Song Jing said. He never thought that the girl he had been pursuing for so long was not Song Jing's biological niece, but just a niece who was not related at all.
Guan Surong's face turned even uglier when she saw Song Jing reveal her true identity in front of Yan Yuzhi. She was still somewhat related to the General's Mansion, but Song Jing had let her down in front of Yan Yuzhi.
Guan Surong now turned her gaze towards Yan Yuzhi and asked in a tearful voice, "Yuzhi, my uncle is furious now. What do you think we should do now?"
