When Jing Yu heard Song Qi's behavior, he couldn't help but said in disgust, "How come you are such a mother-in-law? You always say this!"
Song Qi had no choice but to say: "Guard Jing, my sister-in-law has already suffered a lot by marrying into our Song family, and I don't want to see her honor damaged because of me. A woman's honor is more important than her life, so I will plead with you." Guard Jing, please don’t tell anyone about this matter.”
Jing Yu thought about it, yes.
He quickly patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I won't mention this to anyone."
Song Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his vow.
Although they had only known each other for a few hours, he felt that this Jing Yu should be a principled person.
He was mainly worried that if word spread that he hugged his younger siblings and entered their house, it would ruin their reputation and make people misunderstand what was going on between him and his younger siblings...
"Guard Jing, General Mo will immediately transfer Long Xiang's army back to its original location."
"Well, okay, the prince ordered you to do this."
Song Qi said goodbye with clasped fists.
Jing Yu watched the soldiers being moved away from the palace, then turned around and entered the palace again.
Shen Yufeng had just arrived in the feudal kingdom and was busy with official duties. Shen Yufeng was still in his study.
Jing Yu walked in and saw his master busy, so he stood aside, looking absent-minded.
Shen Yufeng didn't even look up and asked calmly: "What do you want to say?"
Jing Yu pursed his lips.
"Your Majesty, I guess there is something you want to know."
Shen Yufeng seemed to have remembered something, the corner of his mouth curled up involuntarily, and then asked: "What's the matter?"
Jing Yu's eyebrows began to dance wildly: "My lord, do you know what happened to the Song family yesterday?"
The curve of the corners of Shen Yufeng's mouth became more obvious.
He just knew...
Clearing his throat, Shen Yufeng said: "Let's talk about it."
Jing Yu said: "My lord, you don't know something. Mrs. Song was so miserable yesterday. Her evil mother-in-law let a Taoist priest..."
He added his own imagination and vividly described the scene at that time. The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and even looked indignant.
After hearing this, Shen Yufeng's expression did not change.
Jing Yu seemed surprised: "My lord, don't you think that Mrs. Song is too pitiful?"
Shen Yufeng started to flip through the book, and while flipping through it, he said: "If you sympathize with others, others may not need your sympathy."
"What do you mean?" Jing Yu couldn't understand.
Shen Yufeng smiled: "Based on what she did in the Lu family and the perseverance we have seen in her before, do you think she will let those people bully her? For a woman like her, pity is a kind of insult."
"But, I think Mrs. Song should be a kind person..."
"Kindness does not mean being weak and allowing others to bully you."
"Oh..." Jing Yu thought for a while and felt that what Shen Yufeng said made sense, so he nodded involuntarily.
"Also," Shen Yufeng showed a headache, "You are my personal bodyguard, when can you control your mouth?"
"Your Majesty, my subordinate didn't say anything nonsense!"
Jing Yu felt wronged.
Shen Yufeng slammed the folder in his hand onto the table and said with a sullen face: "If you inquire about the Song family for no reason, then Song Qi will definitely suspect that this king has something to do with that woman."
Jing Yu reacted and suddenly hit his head, looking extremely distressed.
Shen Yufeng sighed and said: "From tomorrow on, you can take the troops brought by me to the military camp."
"Ah? My lord, what should you do?"
"What should I do? I have hands and feet. Do I need you to feed me?"
Shen Yufeng felt a little irritable.
"My subordinates are worried about the prince's safety..."
"Don't worry, there are other guards around me."
He said calmly.
Although Jing Yu is highly skilled in martial arts, he often does things without thinking. Shen Yufeng would feel uneasy if he was kept by his side every day.
"Okay." Jing Yu looked disappointed.
"Well, gather the Xiang troops in Weizhou, select a group of elites, and reorganize a Xuanjia Guard."
The disappointment on Jing Yu's face disappeared instantly when he heard this.
Although he is not very smart, he is good at training soldiers.
After receiving the order, Jing Yu went out with a happy face.
Shen Yufeng's expression gradually faded, and what Jing Yu had just said reappeared in his mind.
He said that the woman was seriously injured and the Song family was too cruel.
No wonder she was able to develop such a strong character.
There may not be many women like her in the world.
That beautiful face that was as pale as snow suddenly appeared in Shen Yufeng's mind.
He clenched his fist hard and suppressed the uncomfortable emotion.
Two days later, Master Song returned home exhausted from his official duties.
Lu Ling smoked candles for two days, and his body recovered somewhat.
It was time to turn on the lamps. It was gray outside and candles were lit in the house.
Mr. Song had just stepped into the courtyard, and Qi Sisi helped Lu Ling step forward.
With a plop, Lu Ling knelt directly in front of him: "Father, my daughter-in-law has suffered great injustice at home, and she still asks her father to make the decision for Ling'er!"
Mr. Song was startled, took two steps back, and said quickly: "Get up, what happened?"
His heart skipped a beat.
Lu Ling stood up and raised his face, and Master Song discovered that there were two strange red spots on Lu Ling's face.
"What's wrong with your face?"
Lu Ling curled his lips, looking aggrieved, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Qi Sisi took a step forward and said angrily: "Mr. Song, Lu Ling's face was burned! Not only her face, but also her whole body was burned like this!"
"This...this...who burned you?" Master Song said in disbelief. Who in this house has the courage?
"It was my mother who told Taoist Zhang to be cruel to my daughter-in-law!" Lu Ling squeezed out two strings of tears, and there was a look of perseverance in his eyes. There was a glimmer of pity that made people dare not blaspheme.
"Your mother?" Mr. Song didn't know what happened yet, but he couldn't help but get angry. "Someone, bring the lady!"
"Father, my daughter-in-law is wronged and wants to ask my father to gather everyone in the house. Ling'er wants to wash away the grievances in front of everyone!"
Master Song paused, nodded and ordered his servants to do the same.
After a while, Mrs. Song was led by Liu Qingyun to the main hall.
She saw Mr. Song sitting there with a dark face at the door, while Lu Ling and Qi Sisi were standing beside him.
Mrs. Song's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized that this was Lu Ling's complaint.
But she still said with concern on her face: "Master, you have worked hard these past two days. Why did you just come back from the government office and don't go to rest first? Why did you ask me to come?"
Mr. Song snorted coldly and ignored her.
Mrs. Song was a little embarrassed and could only sit next to her.
"Who told you to sit down?" Mr. Song yelled angrily.
"Ouch!" Mrs. Song was startled, and her butt bounced up from her seat.
"Why can't I sit down?"
"If you want to sit down, wait until you get hit by the board!" Mr. Song said unceremoniously.
"What? You want to hit me?" Mrs. Song thought there was something wrong with her ears, "Why do you want to hit me?"
Mr. Song pinched his knees with both hands and said sternly: "How dare you abuse your daughter-in-law!"
"No, how am I abusing her? Master, you don't know, the reason why you and I are sick is because Lu Ling has evil spirits in her body. I did it for our Song family. If Taoist Zhang doesn't get rid of the evil spirits in her, Our Song family will be in bad luck!"
