Everyone in the hall who had been shocked by Song Jinxiu's "stealing" heard Gu Helian's words with their mouths wide open and their faces filled with astonishment.
"You're talking nonsense!!" Prince Cheng could no longer keep his expression steady: "Gu Helian, don't slander me!"
"slander?"
Gu Helian sarcastically said: "You think you sent a few losers to Anzhou to bully others by relying on your status as a prince, so that everyone can keep their mouths shut. You want to ask people to do things, but you don't even bother to keep them secret and pay for it."
"Although the governor of Anzhou County is afraid of your power and dare not say that you are involved in the Duke of Song's government, there are many eyes in the Anzhou government office. Do you think everyone is afraid of you?"
"Mu Feng."
Gu Helian called out, and the taciturn attendant standing behind him came forward, holding a brocade box in his hand, and opened it in front of everyone. Inside the brocade box lay a thick stack of paper pages.
"These are all confessions that the head of the family ordered to go to the Anzhou Prefecture to find out. It clearly states how the people in Prince Cheng's residence blackmailed the Anzhou County Governor and forged Song Shulan's birth certificate, and how they replaced her biological mother Xu. Their names were confused with the fact that the second master of the Song family was ordered to resettle refugees to Anzhou due to the flood in Wuzhou seventeen years ago. This was used to pretend that the two had known each other for a long time and had developed a romantic relationship during the flood. "
Mu Feng held the brocade box and walked straight to Princess Cheng. Princess Cheng reached out and took it.
Prince Cheng quickly stretched out his hand to pull her: "Yue Niang, Gu Helian has evil intentions, don't believe him..."
Princess Cheng moved to avoid it.
"Yue Niang..." Prince Cheng looked pale and looked at Princess Cheng with prayer.
Gu Helian saw Princess Cheng holding something with an ugly look on her face, and she folded her hands with ridicule:
"Why, is King Cheng afraid that your lies will be exposed, or is he afraid that your manipulation of power and bullying will be discovered? Rongyue, if you don't dare to look at it, forget it. Anyway, you two have a deep love for each other, and Xie Tianyu is just lying to you. It’s nothing.”
"you shut up!"
Princess Cheng turned her head and shouted.
She threw away Prince Cheng's hand with an expressionless expression and took out the contents of the brocade box. When she saw clearly the testimonies with different handwriting on the paper, her expression was extremely ugly.
She silently handed the object in her hand to Tang Ning who was aside. After Song Tang Ning also read it, she raised her head and looked at King Cheng.
"Uncle, is this what you call helping me?"
Gu Helian stepped on the doorstep in front of the flower hall: "He helped you? Helped you let your father's name be ruined after his death, helped you let Song Hong's evil descendants kill you, helped the Song family bully you, a fatherless person. As a motherless orphan, maybe after you die, all the things left by your parents will be transferred to the Song family by the outside daughter?"
His appearance was gentle, but his words were so powerful that he peeled off King Cheng's face and threw it to the ground.
"Song Shulan was originally from Suyun Town, Yanghua, and her biological mother's surname was Xu. Her maternal grandfather, Xu Chunrong, was the deputy envoy of the left guard of Prince Rui twenty years ago. At that time, Prince Rui acted crazy, failed in his rebellion, and burned down the forbidden palace and died. After that, all the subordinates of the East Palace were imprisoned, and the entire Xu family was executed. However, his daughter Xu Zhen survived by luck and was hidden in a remote place by Song Hong, who was still young at the time."
"The two had childhood sweethearts. How could the daughter of a rebellious criminal enter the palace? Song Hong married the daughter of the Zou family and left Xu Zhen in the suburbs of Beijing to raise her as a concubine. At the same time, he and his wife in the palace lovingly gave birth to their eldest son Song Jinxiu. , one side is tender and lingering with the green plum."
Mrs. Song clutched her palm tightly, her face pale.
She only knew that Song Shulan was Song Hong's romantic debt left in his early years abroad, and she thought that it was true as Song Hong said, that he had to keep Song Shulan in his house because he was confused and got into trouble with others.
But she never expected that Song Hong actually had a childhood sweetheart. Even when he married her into the house and loved her as a good husband, he actually had a childhood sweetheart.
No wonder Song Hong protected Song Shulan in every possible way. No wonder he could find any excuse to keep people in the house, but he had to stuff them into the second room to give Song Shulan a legitimate identity.
But it turned out that she was the daughter he once loved...
Mrs. Song staggered and fell down on the chair, with red tears streaming down her face.
Those who deceive others will always deceive them. She helped the Song family deceive Song Tangning, but she also became the person in the jar.
Song Jinxiu was on the verge of collapse and felt a roar in his ears: "You said...Song Shulan is my father's daughter?"
"You don't know?" Gu Helian raised an eyebrow, "Then you still steal for her?"
Song Jinxiu's face turned pale, he didn't know.
Her father and grandmother had always said that Song Shulan was the second uncle's daughter, saying that she was the poor child left behind by his second uncle's romantic relationship.
That night, he drank too much because he was ostracized in the Imperial Academy. Song Shulan cried to him and told her father that they wanted to send her away. She said that Song Tangning was worried about her identity and that she overheard the conversation between her father and grandmother and knew that Tang Ning was actually suspicious of her identity and asked King Cheng to go to Anzhou to investigate.
Song Shulan was already surrounded by controversy. After her widowed mother died of illness, there was nothing to prove her life experience except the letter.
She cried and said that Tang Ning was extremely cruel and that she must have wanted to harm her. She said that if Tang Ning found an excuse to let King Cheng reveal that she had doubts about her life experience, she would be completely ruined.
She cried pitifully, saying that if she could have a token from her second uncle, she would be able to protect herself even if Tang Ning really wanted to harm her.
When Song Jinxiu knew what Song Shulan wanted, he had a big fight with her, but in the end he relented in the face of her tears.
He knew that the relics left by his second uncle and his second aunt were all in Shi'an Garden, and that Tang Ning had not opened those boxes for many years for fear of being exposed and hurt. He secretly took away the bamboo pattern pendant, his hands trembling under the influence of drunkenness. , but he kept comforting himself.
He just wanted Tang Ning to stop making trouble, and he just wanted the Song family to be in peace.
He just wanted Tang Ning and Sister Shu Lan to reconcile and stop being at war with each other.
But he never thought that Song Shulan was actually Song Hong's daughter.
"How is it possible..." Song Jinxiu's eyes were full of disbelief, he raised his eyes bloodshot and hissed: "You lied to me!"
"What did I lie to you about? Many people here should know about the Xu family. As for Song Shulan's identity, your mother should know something about it."
Song Jinxiu looked at Mrs. Song with tears streaming down her face. She felt a splitting headache and her mind felt like it was exploding, but Gu Helian continued.
"Back then, Song Hong enjoyed the blessings of the Qi people and kept Xu Zhen in the capital. The two of them also gave birth to a son, who was only one month younger than you. However, the child was born under the age of 1 and died before he was one year old."
"Later, when the Xu family incident was over, Song Hong probably felt that no one cared about him, so he boldly took the person back to the capital. Unexpectedly, he was noticed by the people in the court. The old Duke of Song tried his best to suppress the matter, but Song Hong Ye had no choice but to send Xu Zhen out of the capital. Mrs. Song was worried that one day Xu Zhen would harm Song Hong if she was still alive, so she wanted to kill Xu Zhen to death. Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen escaped and her whereabouts were unknown after that. "
Gu Helian's voice was slow and sarcastic:
"More than half a year ago, a girl who claimed to be from the Song family came to Song Tan, claiming that her mother's name was Xu Zhen. Before she died, she said that she was the daughter of the Duke of Song Dynasty, and even left a letter for her. Go to the capital to recognize your relatives."
"Song Tan had no choice but to bring Xu Zhen back to the capital because he knew the past. However, after Xu Zhen was a traitor, the Xu family was ordered to be executed by the late emperor. If people knew that Song Hong had sheltered the traitor's daughter, If he gave birth to a daughter with her, not only would his future be ruined, but the Duke of Song's palace would also be blamed for rebellion. But he couldn't bear to part with Qingmei's bloodline, and the letter in Song Shulan's hand was too deadly, so he could only turn his thoughts away. It comes to Song Xi, who passed away early in his life."
He raised his eyes and looked at the veiled Song Tangning next to Princess Cheng, with a bit of unbearability and anger in his eyes.
"He concealed Song Shulan's identity and argued that her mother's surname was Li. He said it was a love debt incurred by your father when he was away from home, and he placed it on your father."
"Everyone in the Song family is talking about money. Taking advantage of the fact that your parents died early and no one can defend you, and you are young and don't know the past, you forced Song Hong's daughter into the second room of the Song family, pretending to be the blood of the second room, and not only promoted her as a concubine. , and let him bully you, humiliate you, and even endanger your life."
"Tang Ning, your father has never been involved with another woman. He only has your mother in his heart, and he has never betrayed a sister of the Rong family."
Song Tangning's eyes suddenly turned red, and everyone in the hall was stunned and stunned at Gu Helian's words.
So Song Shulan is actually the daughter of Song Hong, and her mother is the rebellious daughter of the violent prince?!
The Song family is so brave, so Song Hong is simply crazy, he doesn't want his life?!
The crowd was quiet for a moment, then an uproar broke out. Song Jinxiu's head was buzzing, he was shaky and unsteady on his feet.
