Chapter 410: Three Eagles
Song Mo curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a bit of coldness.
He said calmly, "But I saw that Li Liang spoke clearly and logically, and he didn't seem to be lying. When I asked the former servants, they all said that this happened. So I named this girl Jiang Yan and brought her back. I didn't want to hand her over to the government as my father said - if the matter gets out of hand, we will have to dig up the past. It is said that the midwife who delivered my mother was introduced by my aunt, and I am afraid that my aunt and her family will also be dragged into it. Wouldn't the Song family become a laughing stock in Kyoto? I think my father should be cautious about this matter."
"Do you want to confuse the Song family's bloodline?" Song Yichun stared at Song Mo with his eyes wide open, looking like he wanted to eat him.
"Whether the Song family's bloodline is confused or not, you know it best in your heart, so why bother to question me?" Song Mo said calmly, "How about we sue the Li family? Things are unpredictable, and with the intervention of the government, maybe some people and things that were neglected by the Li family will suddenly appear to prove my father's innocence. What do you think, is this reasonable?"
He stared at Song Yichun with frosty eyes.
Dou Zhao's head buzzed.
Confusing blood!
Ordinary people are naturally not afraid. As long as the clan recognizes it, the matter will be settled.
But it is different for noble families, as it involves the inheritance of titles.
The British Palace is even more different.
The ancestors of the Duke of Ying were once the adopted sons of Emperor Taizu and have always been regarded as "brothers" by the royal family.
She seemed to understand something all of a sudden, and her gaze turned to Song Han.
Song Han's face was pale as he stared at Song Mo. The corner of his eye met Dou Zhao who was standing side by side with Song Mo.
He lowered his eyelids and avoided Dou Zhao's sight.
Dou Zhao seemed to be thinking about something, but his train of thought was interrupted by Song Yichun's loud shout.
"Are you threatening me?" He pointed at Song Mozhan with a sullen face, "You bastard!"
Song Mo did not take Song Yichun's words to heart. He was still calm and composed, and said in a gentle voice: "A son should not criticize his father's faults. How could I threaten you? You misunderstood. I just think that since I have brought her back, there is absolutely no reason to send her back. Moreover, she is called the Song's daughter by the Li family! I just want you to agree to recognize this girl. You don't have to be so angry. It seems like you have a guilty conscience."
Song Yichun's face flushed red, and he stared at Song Mo and just said "you". Song Mo said, "By the way, a few days ago, there was a man named Song Shize in Tianjin who said that he was an old servant who had served my grandfather. You were not at home, so I helped you meet Song Shize. Do you want to meet this man too? According to him, the Duke of Ying's mansion was robbed, and many people fled. They wanted to come back, but the family The housekeepers and maids have all been replaced, and they have no other connections, so they all come to these old people. When my father meets Song Shize, he can just explain to Song Shize what is going on. Although the Duke of Ying is not afraid of trouble, it will not look good if so many servants in the family are missing and the trouble is reported to the emperor. "After saying that, he picked up the teacup, lowered his head and gently blew the floating leaves on the water, and took a sip.
Song Yichun looked at Song Mo in shock and fear.
Song Shize!
If I hadn't already dealt with many people at the time, and hadn't had no legitimate reason, and was afraid that touching other people would cause panic and backlash from other servants, how could I have let this old man go? !
I didn't expect that this old guy would come to me on his own and join Song Mo!
Doesn't he know that he is the Duke of England?
What do these old guys want to do?
Are you still trying to rebel?
If I had known these old guys were so brave, I should have killed them all!
Song Yichun laughed in anger and said, "Then you can call that Song Shize in. I want to see who gave him the courage to report the servant to his master."
Song Mo smiled slightly and asked someone to call Song Shize.
This evil boy really dares to shout!
Song Yichun threw a cup of tea at Song Mo.
Song Mo turned sideways and dodged easily.
Song Yichun said angrily: "You evil son, how dare you contradict your father!"
Dou Zhao looked at it and felt really annoyed.
She murmured quietly, "Even a rabbit will bite when it gets angry, let alone a human! I just felt sorry for the little girl and wanted to save her. Why is the Duke so angry? Is he trying to cover up something? The Prince was kind enough to clean up the mess for you, but you blamed him for meddling in other people's business. If we had known this would happen, we should not have cared about it and let those servants with no future go to the Guangen Marquis's Mansion..."
Song Yichun's hair stood on end when he heard this.
It turns out that Song Mo is so bold because he is in cahoots with Uncle Guang En.
I am not afraid of Song Mo.
Does he dare to kill his father?
But Guang Enbo is different.
I have seen with my own eyes how cruel he is.
Song Yichun's heart was in a panic and her face turned red and white. It was a very interesting scene.
He is really the kind of person who won't drink when being toasted!
Dou Zhao really dislikes this father-in-law.
Song Shize was brought in by Wuyi.
He bowed respectfully to Song Yichun.
When Song Yichun saw his worldly-wise face and thought of Uncle Guang En, he suddenly felt bored.
He shouted at the guards: "Someone, take this old man down and give him thirty lashes!"
Twenty lashes of the cane can kill a person, let alone thirty lashes!
Song Shize had truly given up this time.
All these people want is a way to survive.
Serving the master loyally and making a difference is a way of life.
Dying for the Lord and leaving a shadow for future generations is also a way of living.
People like Song Yichun who destroyed the long dike by themselves are just a joke even if they want to be loyal and die for the Lord.
Others don't care at all.
He kowtowed to Song Yichun solemnly.
The expression looked a little strange.
It was as if he was saying goodbye to Song Yichun.
Song Yichun, who was in anger, didn't feel it, but Dou Zhao, who was very careful, did.
She couldn't help but look at Song Mo with great admiration.
Song Mo slowly called out "Father" and said, "If you don't remove the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze. Father wants to deal with the servants. The emperor has been in a bad mood these days, so I won't stay here to attract your attention. Please allow us to leave."
He stood up without getting involved, nodded towards Dou Zhao, and motioned for her to follow him.
Dou Zhao lagged behind Song Mo by two steps and followed Song Mo out.
Song Yichun and Song Han were both dumbfounded.
They all thought that Song Mo would protect Song Shize.
The guards who rushed in hurriedly made way and stood aside.
Song Shize understood.
This is the prince warning him to surrender!
If he wants to survive, he has to follow the path indicated by the prince.
Moreover, he has to figure out on his own what kind of path this is. Otherwise, without this smartness, the prince will not use him.
He rushed over and hugged Song Mo's thighs, begging, "My Lord, please save my life. I'm willing to tell you anything."
Song Mo glanced at Song Shize with contempt, and then said to Song Yichun indifferently: "You can see it too, I have to save him!"
Xia Lian and a few others rushed in and stood confronting Song Yichun's guards.
Song Yichun's lips trembled with anger.
Song Mo glanced at Xia Lian, then took Dou Zhao out of the hall and walked leisurely to the center of the yard.
There were crackling sounds coming from the hall, and Song Yichun's furious shouts.
But no one takes it seriously.
The maids of Osmanthus Court had already hidden away somewhere, and Song Mo's face, which had just been as beautiful as jade, was suddenly covered with a shadow, appearing dull and lifeless.
Dou Zhao thought he was sad because the relationship between father and son was gone, so he couldn't help but comfort him: "People have to rely on fate. You see, when I was with my father, nothing good could be said about us, but when you were with my father, you were like real father and son. If I were to taste your flavor, I would be drowned in jealousy."
Song Mo's expression did not improve at all, but he murmured, "Not my father!"
Dou Zhao didn't understand.
Song Mo glanced at her. His deep gaze was like the starless and moonless sky at midnight, which made people feel creepy.
"It wasn't my father who killed my beautiful mother." He whispered, "If it was him, he wouldn't be so surprised..."
Could it be Song Han?
But he was only fourteen!
Thinking about the first time she met Song Mo in this life, when Song Mo was only thirteen years old, one year younger than Song Han is now, Dou Zhao glanced at the hall and vaguely understood what Song Mo meant.
In the silence, the atmosphere became depressing.
Song Mo sighed, patted Dou Zhao's shoulder gently as if to comfort him, and said softly: "Let's go back! Otherwise, if we snatch the person away later, we will have to face our father's hypocritical questioning!"
Dou Zhao wasn't in the mood for that either.
She smiled at Song Mo with her lips pursed, and left the Osmanthus Courtyard with Song Mo, and asked him softly, "What are your plans?"
"Check the people around him." Song Mo said, "It's impossible for him to do this himself. He can't do it."
As for how to deal with the matter once it is discovered, he did not say.
Dou Zhao could understand his feelings.
The younger brother whom she had doted on and tolerated for more than ten years suddenly became a stranger and even deceived him. He needed time to sort it out. But he did not avoid it, and he was able to judge and handle the matter so calmly, which still made her admire him.
She wanted to help him calm down, so she said softly, "You are still calm and you saw the crux of the problem at a glance. You are much calmer than me. If it were me, I would have been focusing on arguing with the Duke. But you not only forced the Duke to agree to let Sister Yan enter the mansion, but also forced Song Shize and others to express their opinions. You also found out whether Li Tiaoniang's death was related to the Duke. You killed three birds with one stone..."
After being comforted by Dou Zhao, Song Mo's mood improved a lot.
He smiled and shook his head, and told Dou Zhao: "When you go back later, don't show any flaws in front of A Yan."
Dou Zhao nodded.
I met Jiang Lizhu at the door of Yizhitang.
Jiang Lizhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister Yan is very anxious and said that she must not let her cousin and uncle fall out because of her. She insisted that I go to Xiangxiangyuan to take a look."
"My father and I have been at odds for a long time. What does it have to do with her?" Song Mo admitted for the first time in front of the Jiang family that there was a rift between him and his father. "Don't worry about it!"
Jiang Lizhu couldn't help but sigh and looked at Dou Zhao.
Dou Zhao smiled and nodded at her.
Jiang Lizhu felt a little relieved.
Dou Zhao said, "I'll go with you to see Sister Yan, so she won't have any crazy thoughts."
