The eyes of the other two ruffians also lit up.
"Yes, it's all the people here who came up with the idea. We usually don't hang out in this area, but he specially brought us here, saying that a gorgeously dressed woman would appear in this alley today and destroy us. She was innocent and said there would be a bigger reward afterwards!”
"nonsense!"
Yun Jinshi obviously didn't believe what the three of them said.
"When Wan'er first came to the capital, how could she have any grudges with others? It was obviously the three of you who took advantage of her."
Yun Wan'er's face became increasingly ugly.
Although she didn't care about the life or death of these three people, when she calmed down, she had to consider her own reputation.
Otherwise, let alone being the mistress of the Hou Mansion, even entering the house might become a luxury.
"Madam, everything we say is true, and there is absolutely no lie..."
Yun Jinshi's eyes were sharp, but he still didn't mean to believe it. The eyes of the three gangsters unconsciously fell on Song Jingqian's closed door.
It's all this man's fault. The house seems to be average. He wants to die. Why did he need to bring the three brothers with him?
Fortunately, this woman came here, otherwise, once the Jingan Hou Mansion investigates, wouldn't it be the three of them who are finally convicted?
In this case, there is no need for the three of them to be polite!
"Madam, we still remember that man's appearance. Now I'm going to catch him and confront him face to face!"
One of the gangsters rushed to the door and slammed his whole body towards the door...
"puff--"
A long sword penetrated the ruffian's chest, and then the sword was pulled out, blood spattered, and the ruffian was kicked out of the door. When he landed on the ground, he had made no sound.
Everyone present was shocked by this scene, except Yun Jinshi. Looking at the scene in front of him, scenes from his previous life appeared in his mind unconsciously.
The scene of murder and silence is almost exactly the same, but the location is different and the person lying on the ground is also different.
This time, she stood outside the incident. From now on, her destiny will truly change.
Young Master?
Seeing Song Jingqian, everyone in the Hou Mansion was stunned.
They all knew that the Marquis was guarding the battlefield in the border town, and the Young Marquis had been following him, so why did he appear here?
"It's him, it's him..."
The other two gangsters were so frightened that they almost peed their pants when they saw their companion being killed. They quickly identified Yun Jinshi in the hope of getting protection, but what greeted them was a cold sword blade.
"You can't even handle a few people well. Is this how you usually do things in the Hou Mansion?"
Holding the long sword dripping with blood, Song Jingqian's face was so gloomy that it almost dripped with ink.
He originally didn't want to come out, but these three people had seen him, and he couldn't think of a better way than to silence them.
"Go home!"
No one dared to ask what was going on. Except for a few people who were left to deal with the situation at the scene, everyone else followed back without even daring to breathe.
Even though they all have their own guesses about today's events, as slaves, if they want to live, they know very well what can and cannot be said.
Jinganhou Mansion.
In the Fushou Hall in the backyard, the old lady was sitting there with a gloomy face.
"Is this how you do things?"
The tea cup at hand was also thrown to the ground.
From the look on the old lady's face, one could tell that she was really angry this time. Song Jingqian stood below, lowering his head and not daring to speak.
At this moment, he had changed into a clean indigo gown, with a wide-brimmed green auspicious cloud belt tied around his waist. His black hair was tied high, with a jade-inlaid hair crown on top.
Except for the tightly tied cuffs and the black leather boots on his feet, this outfit can be said to be no different from other young men from aristocratic families in the capital.
Perhaps it was because of what he had just experienced, but upon closer inspection, there was a hint of sinisterness in his eyes, which made people very uncomfortable.
"I didn't agree with you bringing that woman back from the beginning, but you two refused to listen to me and insisted on letting her in first. Now, you even thought of finding someone to humiliate Jin Shi. After all, she is the mistress of the Hou Mansion. If word spreads, where will the face of our Jing'an Hou Mansion be?"
Listening to the old lady's accusation, Song Jingqian frowned slightly, looking unconcerned.
If he didn't say it, if Wan'er didn't say it, how could anyone know?
Could it be that Yun Jinshi would go out on her own and say that she was humiliated?
But I don't know where the plan went wrong this time, and Wan'er was the one caught by those gangsters in the end.
"Mom, Qian'er has just come back, so don't scold him. Fortunately, this incident didn't have any bad impact..."
Seeing her son being wronged, Ms. Qiao couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stood up.
"Asshole!"
The old lady slapped the table hard, "A loving mother often loses her son, this is the good son you have raised! If he is still so ignorant and acts randomly in the future, how will he inherit the title in the future?"
Seeing that the old lady was getting more and more angry, Song Jingqian quickly bowed and said, "Grandma, calm down, it's my grandson who is reckless this time."
"Fortunately, no one except us knows about your relationship with that Yun Wan'er. Even if the news spreads, it will be a loss to the Yun family's face. At most, we failed to take good care of her. Let her hide behind closed doors in the deserted courtyard to think about her past. Personal maid, everyone else should evacuate first. As for those two children, let’s see what excuses we can come up with to make Jin Tokidai the best.”
"grandmother……"
"What, you still want to plead for her?"
Song Jingqian hurriedly spoke out, wanting to ask for mercy, but facing the old lady's stern eyes, the words came to his lips, but he couldn't spit them out.
"You have to know how many pairs of eyes are watching what happened today. If she continues to appear, there is no guarantee that there won't be any other rumors. Qian'er, Tumo Xingzi drowns people!"
The image of Yun Wan'er letting someone ride on her and tearing off her clothes came to mind. Song Jingqian lowered his head and swallowed back what he was about to say.
"Besides, Jin Shi, as the legitimate daughter, is superior to that concubine in terms of knowledge and education. You can rest assured that the child will be raised by her. Of course, it is best for you to have a legitimate daughter by yourselves..."
"impossible!"
Before the old lady finished speaking, Song Jingqian could not wait to speak.
"Grandma, I have already said that my wife must be recognized by myself. I married her entirely because you and my grandfather made your own decisions. It was not my intention at all. I can give her the title of a head wife. This is my biggest concession, I will never have a child with her in this life."
His attitude suddenly became resolute, and his obvious resistance surprised the old lady even more.
But if you think carefully about Song Jingqian's words, you will understand that it was not Yun Jinshi who he resisted, but the one who was forced to get married by them in the first place.
Thinking of this, the old lady sighed heavily.
"This matter has indeed made you feel wronged. It is true that Jinshi was born into a merchant family, but her wealthy family and her maternal grandfather's family..."
"Grandma, you have told me this many times. No matter how noble her maternal grandfather's family status is, she is only a maternal ancestor, not a direct relative. Even with the high position of her maternal grandfather's family, she is barely worthy of being the Marquis of Jing'an. It’s not certain whether I will be able to match the position of mistress of the palace in the future!”
