Noticing the expression on Lord Li's face, the prefect took a deep breath and forced a smile: "This Miss Song is really something. Why did she have to disturb us at this time when there were other options?"
"Don't worry, Master Li, I'll go right away..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lord Li, saying, "Go and bring the person up here. I want to see what kind of person Song Qianning is. How could she be so bold as to do this?"
His body swayed, and the prefect's heart felt like it was about to jump out. He couldn't help but complain to himself in his heart.
Lord Li had already spoken, and there was nothing the prefect could do even if he didn't want anyone to come in. He could only follow his instructions and have the soldiers let the people in.
At the same time, he prayed silently in his heart that nothing would happen, otherwise he would not be able to explain to that gentleman.
Hearing what Master Li said, Song Wanyu's eyes rolled and she leaned against him tenderly: "Master Li, if my sister gets angry with you later, you must spare her life."
She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and whimpered, "My elder sister has a domineering and overbearing personality. This time, Master Li, you helped Yu'er take back the property. My elder sister will definitely be furious."
"Yu'er herself is fine, but Yu'er is worried that she might be ignorant and bump into you, making you unhappy."
"Humph." Lord Li snorted coldly, "I still don't believe it. How can a little girl be so arrogant in front of me?"
With a glint of pride in her eyes, Song Wanyu put down her handkerchief, leaned against him and said hypocritically, "Master Li, please don't be angry, otherwise Yu'er will feel sorry for you."
After about a cup of tea, a menacing figure followed the officers and soldiers and walked straight into the hall.
When Lord Li looked up at the sound, he saw a delicate face full of annoyance.
The moment he saw Song Qianning, Lord Li even forgot about Song Wanyu in his arms and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Song Qianning's pretty face was cold and her eyes were full of annoyance. She was obviously angry, but her delicate little face still looked beautiful, and with that hint of anger, she looked more energetic.
In this small place, there was actually such a beautiful woman, many times more beautiful than the beauties he had seen in the brothels in the capital.
Song Wanyu, who originally had a pretty appearance, looked even more ordinary in front of Song Qianning.
After arriving at the hall, Song Qianning glanced around and finally fixed her gaze on Lord Li. She said in a cold voice, "You are the one who sent people to seal my house?"
A clear and cold voice sounded, and Lord Li finally came back to his senses from the beauty.
Remembering the serious matter of having someone bring Song Qianning in, Lord Li cleared his throat and said condescendingly, "Are you Song Qianning?"
"It's me." Song Qianning looked at Lord Li with a chill in her eyes and asked bluntly, "Lord Li, why don't you answer my question?"
Sitting upright, Lord Li glared at Song Qianning with full force: "Humph, I haven't even come to find you, you vicious woman, but you've already shown yourself to me!"
"As a woman, you should be filial to your parents and respect your sisters. As the eldest daughter of the Song family, you don't understand filial piety at all!"
Hearing this, Song Qianning laughed angrily: "Filial piety? What kind of elders are the Song family? You want me to be filial and respect them? Dream on."
"How dare you!" Lord Li slammed the table and screamed, "Song Qiyuan is your biological father, Liu Ruyi is your aunt, and Yu'er is your blood sister. To seize the Song family's wealth, you actually cruelly expelled them from the mansion. It's truly despicable!"
"Not only do you disregard filial piety, but you are also violating the moral code of heaven. Don't even think about confiscating your property. Even if I imprison you or sentence you to death, it would be justified!"
Facing the lecturing Lord Li, Song Qianning sneered, "I don't know when a concubine will be able to act as an elder to a legitimate daughter. How can Song Wanyu, a concubine's daughter, be qualified to call a legitimate daughter a sister?"
Seeing that Song Qianning dared to contradict him, Lord Li immediately became angry: "How dare you deny it?!"
Ignoring Lord Li, Song Qianning continued, "As for the Song Mansion's property and house, they were all left to me by my grandfather before he passed away. It was Song Qiyuan who took advantage of my grandparents' death to seize the property they left me. How should he be sentenced?"
Lord Li was unconvinced: "Words are not enough, do you have any evidence?!"
"My grandfather left me a written document before he died, and the prefect can testify to it."
The prefect beside him heard Song Qianning's words and nodded quickly: "Master Li, Miss Song is right. Her grandfather did leave a letter before his death, including the Song family's property, which was all left to Miss Song. I can prove it for her."
"Prefect Sun, how dare you favor such a vicious woman in front of me!" Lord Li glared at the prefect and said in a dissatisfied voice, "My words are the truth. If I say it doesn't count, it doesn't count."
After scolding him, he raised his head and looked at Song Qianning: "Who knows where you got that so-called letter of credit?"
"Your grandfather has been dead for many years. There is no evidence to prove his wrongdoing. The written documents he left behind are also worthless."
These words sounded unreasonable and even the prefect was stunned.
Then, Lord Li continued, "Besides, Song Qiyuan is your biological father. A son inherits his father's business, and vice versa. What's yours is his. As his bloodline, you disregarded human ethics and drove him out of the mansion. What crime should you be charged with?!"
"I'm only willing to talk to you because you're Yu'er's elder sister, but you're so arrogant." Lord Li's expression became even more arrogant as he spoke. "If it weren't for my kindness, I would have thrown you into jail long ago!"
Unexpectedly, this time Song Qianning did not refute Lord Li's words. Instead, she suddenly changed her tone: "According to Lord Li, everything in the world must be considered in terms of bloodline?"
"That's right." Lord Li said confidently, "Bloodline rules are the rules left by our ancestors. Children's filial piety to their fathers is also a bloodline rule. Everything must naturally be based on bloodline, otherwise even the rules will be gone."
"Master Li is right." Song Qianning nodded in agreement, "Mortals do have to consider their bloodline and kinship when they act."
Unexpectedly, Song Qianning would continue to follow his words. After being surprised, Lord Li's expression also showed a hint of appreciation. He looked at her with approval: "The child is teachable."
If Song Qianning is willing to give in, he wouldn't mind...
Song Qianning smiled at Lord Li and said slowly, "I have a question I'd like to ask Lord Li for his opinion."
Lord Li, who was much more pleasing to Song Qianning, nodded and said generously, "Speak."
"Everything has to be considered based on bloodline, and royal affairs are also within that scope. The nine sons of the dragon are all different, but they all belong to the imperial bloodline. If bloodline is also taken into consideration and actions are based on bloodline, does that mean every prince must ascend the throne?"
"After all, only this way can we live up to our bloodline. Otherwise, it would be disregarding human ethics, isn't that what Lord Li said?"
