Chapter 325 You are finally here!
"What's wrong with you? You look so unhappy." Aunt Song looked at him worriedly.
"It's okay, maybe it's because of the cold weather."
"Yes, the weather is cold." Aunt Song frowned, "But Second Master said that the money can be earned back sooner or later. Now the remaining money in the family has been almost spent. Food, clothing, chewing and other necessities are all waiting for Second Master..."
Song Lao Er was already worried, and after hearing her words, he couldn't help but get angry, "You've been talking about money all day long. When did you become so vulgar?"
Having done so much for the family, even at the cost of a life, Aunt Song was now being scolded for being vulgar. She could hardly bear it and her body was shaky.
Seeing her like this, and knowing that she had always been in poor health, Song Lao Er felt a little guilty and took her hand, "I lost my temper and took my anger out on you."
"Second Master, what happened? Don't scare me."
"actually...."
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the tightly closed door of the second courtyard was pushed open. The door made a huge noise, which scared the couple in the second room.
"What are you doing! Are you crazy?" Song Lao Er stood up with a dark face.
The servant at the door didn't even have time to breathe, "Second Master, it's bad, someone's coming from home!"
Song Lao Er snorted coldly: "Whoever comes, I want to see who is so bold as to dare to trespass into my Song family without any reason!"
He said this without listening to the servant, pushed him away, and strode towards the door.
The whole yard was in chaos. The few remaining servants of the Song family all huddled together, trembling, and didn't even look at him when they saw him coming.
"Who are you! How dare you trespass into my house? Be careful of me..." The words got stuck in his throat and he looked ahead in disbelief.
"Sir Song, we apologize for not informing you in advance. We are here by your order."
The person at the door was actually the chief eunuch of the Emperor's inner palace, Eunuch Luo. He had red lips and white teeth, a cold smile on his face, and a look of authority without anger. The gleam in his eyes when he looked at Song Lao Er was like a knife.
Song Lao Er was so frightened that his whole body was shivering. He could not help but step forward, "Eunuch, what did I do wrong? Why did you suddenly..." Before he could reach Eunuch Luo, he was kicked away by the soldiers who came with him. His whole body flew to the side like a kite with a broken string, and fell to the ground with a "bang". He looked as miserable as a down-and-out house dog.
"What crime did you commit? Of course it must be a big deal!" Eunuch Luo's voice was shrill, like fingernails scratching paper, which sounded unpleasant and harsh.
"Please give me some clear instructions, father-in-law!" Song Lao Er had blood on the corner of his mouth. He struggled to get up, knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.
Eunuch Luo glanced at him and winked at the soldiers beside him, "Search! Those letters and account books must be in his house. Find them no matter what."
"yes!"
The soldiers who received the order were cold and ruthless. They went into each room of the house and searched roughly. They were not polite. For a while, the sound of things falling and the screams of servants were all floating in their ears.
Song Lao Er was a little dazed, but when he came to his senses, he burst into tears. The matter that made Eunuch Luo come out must be no small matter. He was afraid that he would be in great danger this time.
....
"You said that Song Lao Er's affair has been exposed?" Song Ci stopped writing and laughed heartily.
"Yes, Master Pei sent someone to tell me in detail and asked me to pass it on to you, young lady." Wanxiang couldn't help but smile when she saw that her young lady was happy.
"Song Lao Er thought he was clever, but his cleverness backfired. Has the person been caught?"
"Yes, we also found the old lady's body at the Song family... It was infested with worms. The Song family, for some unknown reason, dismembered the body... They've already hired a coroner to perform an autopsy."
Outsiders might find this matter very strange. Why would Song Lao Er kill his own mother when he was fine? However, Song Ci said she was not surprised.
In the past, the Song family had the eldest son, Song, and her father to support them. Now it is the turn of the ambitious but incompetent second son, Song. In addition, Mrs. Song has always favored her eldest son. She also knows in her heart that her second son is unreliable. As time goes by, the two of them face each other without anyone to obstruct them. It would be strange if there is no conflict or contradiction.
"I understand. If you have any news, please let me know."
Soon, the incident of Song Laoer killing his mother became a huge uproar, which also included the fact that Song Laoer secretly embezzled the court's taxes. The emperor sentenced him to immediate execution and all the members of the Song family were exiled.
Song Ying was a married woman, so she escaped the disaster.
"Madam, Song Ying is here. She's yelling outside that the cook in the kitchen is not doing a good job and she wants to replace us." Madam Liang's maid whispered a few words in her ear, and Madam Liang laughed in anger.
She shook the letter in her hand and said, "Ask her in."
Song Ying came in. Her belly was already very big and she was about to give birth. She walked while holding her belly and started to pant after taking a few steps.
She sat down very unceremoniously, tapping the account book with her fingers. The sweat on her forehead was not messy, and she even had a bit of complacency.
"Sister-in-law, the person you assigned, the cook in the kitchen, has dirty hands and feet. I will tell mother about this matter. It's better to remove her as soon as possible." The pride in her eyes collided with the contempt in Sister-in-law Liang's eyes, like sparks flying.
"Not clean? Even if it's not, it's still better than some people."
Mrs. Liang was hinting at something. Seeing that she was not flustered, Song Ying asked, "What do you mean? Sister-in-law, I have all the evidence, witnesses and evidence. Do you still want to deny it?"
"No, I don't deny it. I just didn't know my sister-in-law had the time to come to me and talk to me. Could it be that she hasn't heard the news yet?"
The baby in Song Ying's belly suddenly moved. She covered her chest uncomfortably, as if something was about to happen. This feeling made her extremely uncomfortable.
"What news did you get?"
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Liang became even more proud and raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Song family is finished. Your father, your mother, your brother, are all finished. Hahaha..."
She laughed wildly, and Song Ying almost couldn't breathe. She covered her chest with her hands, her eyes red. "You, what nonsense are you talking about! My parents are fine, how come they are gone! Are you crazy? The housekeeper can't win against me, so you start cursing maliciously! I'm going to tell mother and let her punish you severely."
"Go ahead." Mrs. Liang made a gesture of invitation. "Go ahead. I want to see whether Mother will protect me or you, the daughter of a guilty minister."
The weather was getting colder. Hearing that Lin Huo's illness was still not getting better, Song Ci prepared some gifts and planned to visit him.
She walked to the door and knocked on it. The servant looked at her with a bit of happiness in his eyes, "Miss Song, you are finally here!"
