"Tang Ning, what are you doing?"
Song Tan was shocked and turned pale. He endured the fear and looked at the man on the Ying'an coast: "Master Xiao, although there is some resentment between our mansion and Tang Ning, and there were some misunderstandings before, you can't bring people into the Duke's mansion without permission, my eldest brother. He is still on duty in the palace. If His Majesty knew what happened today, he would definitely reprimand Governor Xiao for his unruly behavior..."
"I don't know how your Majesty is doing, but your eldest brother will accompany you later."
Xiao Yan looked indifferent: "Song Hong, who was in the position of minister, did not care about the emperor's favor, colluded with the old ministers of the King of Violence, plotted rebellion, and locked up all the members of the Song family and brought them to the Criminal Division to await trial."
Treason? !
Song Tan's eyes widened suddenly, and even Mrs. Song's expression changed instantly.
The servants of the Song family who were escorted out all looked frightened. How could the uncle conspire to rebel? !
Mrs. Song's ears were ringing, and she suppressed her fear and anger towards Xiao Yan and said: "Master Xiao, my Song family has been in the court for many years. My husband died for the Wei Dynasty, and my son has always been loyal to your majesty. They are loyal and loyal, and everyone in the Song family has upheld their duties as ministers and never dared to make a mistake. How could you unjustly accuse us of treason?!"
As she spoke, she glared at Song Tangning,
"Is it you, Song Tangning? It's you who holds a grudge against the family and colludes with outsiders to frame your uncle. We are all your closest relatives. How dare you act so perversely and with such a vicious heart?!"
Song Tangning was so angry that Mrs. Song complained first. She stood next to Xiao Yan and looked at Mrs. Song with a stern look on her face. She sneered: "Is it because I am evil-hearted, or is Song Hong doing this shamelessly?"
"You stuffed Song Hong and Xu Zhen's scoundrels into the second wife's house to act as my father's bloodline, and allowed her to bully and humiliate me and slander my father's posthumous name. Who in this world is as vicious as you?"
Song Tan's face suddenly turned pale, and Mrs. Song's expression also changed drastically.
When Song Shulan heard the word "Xu Zhen", it felt more like she had fallen into an ice cellar and her whole body was freezing. She couldn't help but tremble when she looked at Song Tangning who was standing not far away.
She knows...
She actually knew it!
"Tang Ning."
Song Tan swallowed his saliva, and with a trace of luck, he forced his face and said, "Did you misunderstand something, or did someone say something provocative to you? We have never known Xu Zhen, and we have never heard of this people……"
"Really? Then when Third Uncle brought Song Shulan back to the capital from Suyun Town, why did he conceal her identity and cover up her biological mother's surname: Xu?"
Song Tan's face was instantly panicked. He didn't expect Song Tangning to be able to find out this.
Just when he was about to open his mouth to quibble, he saw Song Tangning take out a book.
"Xu's daughter is from Suyun. Third uncle, would you like to explain why you said that her biological mother's surname is Li and she is from Anzhou?"
"I……"
Song Tan's face trembled when he looked at the book with the official seal of Jingzhao Mansion, and his eyes showed fear.
impossible!
King Cheng clearly told them that the book had been taken away by him, and arrangements had been made in Anzhou, and even Song Shulan's past had been wiped clean.
How did Song Tangning know this? !
Tang Ning raised her eyes to look at the helpless Song family members, and her eyes fell on Song Shulan, whose face was pale:
"Song Shulan's biological mother was originally named Xu Zhen. She was the daughter of Xu Chunrong, an old minister of the former Prince Ru. She had a childhood friendship with Song Hong. After Prince Ru's rebellion, Xu Chunrong was executed by the late emperor, and the entire Xu family was also executed. However, Song Hong Because he missed his old love, he rescued Xu Zhen and raised her as an outhouse, and then sent her out of the capital because of the incident."
"The old lady felt sorry for her son because she was afraid of being implicated by the Xu family, so she wanted to get rid of the roots. Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen escaped by chance. More than ten years later, his daughter came to the door with a token of the Song family. Song Hong, taking into account his old relationship, concealed the Zou family and conspired with the two of you. Contain him in the palace."
"Mrs. Song, Mr. Song, please don't tell me that you don't know who Xu Zhen is."
Song Tangning's eyes were cold, and his originally gentle face was filled with frost. Every word he spoke was like a sharp blade, cutting the blood of several people in the Song family.
"You knew clearly whose bloodline Song Shulan was, but in order to protect Song Hong's official reputation, you forced it on my father."
"Song Hong imitated my father's handwriting and left so-called letters. Song Jinxiu stole my father's belongings and pretended to be keepsakes in an attempt to deceive me. You colluded with King Cheng and coerced the Anzhou County Governor to forge Song Shulan's books to conceal the identity of the traitor's daughter. You even tried to use the words of others to force me to return home. This is so despicable and shameless. How dare you accuse me of being vicious?"
Song Tan's face turned pale. Mrs. Song never expected that Xu Zhen's affairs would be exposed after so many years. It was obvious that the people who knew about it were dead long ago, so how could Song Tangning know about it? !
At this moment, she didn't have any of her fierce look from before. She forced herself to look angry and said: "That's nonsense. What's Xu Zhen? What's the cruel old minister of the prince? I don't know what you're talking about!"
Mrs. Song insisted: "Song Shulan's biological mother's surname is indeed Xu, but she has nothing to do with the violent prince. Her mother is a lowly prostitute. Because she was too lowly and seduced my son, she lost her moral character and almost ruined the reputation of our Song family. , I didn’t allow her to enter the house and kicked her out of the capital, but who would have thought that she was pregnant with a child and came to my door more than ten years later.”
"Your uncle is a servant and a close minister of the emperor. He wants to inherit the title of the Duke of Guo. He must not have such a stain on him. Your uncle and I packed Song Shulan into the second room, but it was all for the sake of the future of the Duke of Guo. In order to be able to Keep the Song family prominent so that you can have your mother's family to protect you after you marry into the Lu family."
"Does it have anything to do with treason?!"
Mrs. Song's words became smoother and smoother, as if Song Tangning was really talking nonsense and they didn't know Xu Zhen at all.
"Tang Ning, grandma knows that you are angry, but your uncle and I are forced to have no choice. Your father is gone. From now on, the Duke's palace can only rely on your uncle and brother. If anyone knows that he once had such a relationship, A casual marriage will only hurt the Song family."
"I had no choice but to bring Song Shulan into your father's lap. It's okay if you annoy me, but how could you slander us like this? It's such a big crime to be involved with the ruthless prince. If your majesty knows about it, it will destroy Song's family. No one in the family can escape.”
She was reminding Song Tangning that she was also a member of the Song family, and she would not be able to escape if the Song family was convicted.
"Tang Ning, stop fooling around."
Song Tangning looked at Mrs. Song who had made up the whole story in a short time, and watched her flawlessly weave the identity of Song Shulan's biological mother.
If it weren't for the solid evidence and Xiao Yan and Gu Helian investigating, looking at her helpless and angry look, she might have believed her.
No wonder they were able to deceive her in the last life. No wonder they were able to coax her into taking away A Niang's belongings. They helped Song Shulan become famous in the capital, helped her take away the things that should have been hers, and stepped on her bones. Sent her to the Lu family.
Tang Ning's eyes were full of anger: "Mrs. Song's mouth is really powerful. It's a pity that I'm not the prison chief. I'd better keep these words of the old lady in prison."
"Song Tangning, you are from the Song family!!" Mrs. Song saw that she was out of luck and said sternly: "You think the Song family is ruined, what good can you get?!"
Song Tangning sneered: "Who said I am from the Song family?"
Mrs. Song's expression suddenly changed: "What do you mean?"
Song Tangning sneered: "It means that I feel ashamed to be of the same race as shameless and unfeeling people like you."
"Previously, I had expelled the Song family from the Prince Cheng's Mansion in front of Song Jinxiu and everyone. From now on, my father and I are no longer members of the Song family. The life and death of your Song family have nothing to do with me, so you just live in peace. Accompany Song Hong to the prison to defend Xu Zhen's identity and see if the torturers in the prison can believe your rhetoric."
"Whore..."
Ah!
She looked at Song Shulan with ridicule: "You went all the way back to the Song family and used every possible means to snatch what belongs to me. Now I will give it all to you."
"Song Shulan, you win."
