Song Tangning understood what Princess Cheng meant, and felt even more suffocated because of it.
She didn't know much about that past, and she heard most of the things about Prince Ru from other people's mouths.
'When my grandfather was still here, he would remain silent whenever he mentioned this person, and then look in the south direction outside the city in silence. She was young and ignorant at that time and would always ask questions. When she occasionally mentioned the Cruel Prince, her grandfather would have red eyes and burst into tears. Later she never dared to ask again.
Her past life was all spent in the backyard, surrounded by the Lu family and the Song family. After her grandfather left, she heard outsiders mention the cruel prince several times.
Everyone said that he was cruel and unethical. Even Song Jinxiu and the others often said that this man was a disaster to the country. Fortunately, he was killed back then, so she thought that he was really bad. But now after hearing Princess Cheng's words, she thought of Xiao Yan, who was criticized verbally and written by outsiders. .
But she vaguely knew that the things that were revealed to others back then might not be the truth.
But so what if it's not the truth, what happened back then has long been buried, no one will stand up for him, and no one dares to stand up for him.
Princess Cheng saw her sitting in front of the bed with her little face downcast and said: "I am telling you these things just to make you understand that there is never right or wrong in the struggle for power, and you don't have to doubt the people around you because of what others say. I know You are worried about Xiao Yan, but he is not a violent prince, so he may not be able to reach that point."
"If you are really worried that he will end up miserable, advise him not to act too cruelly and to make more good friends with others. You can always get some blessings for him in the future."
When Song Tangning heard this, an idea came to his mind, but before he could think about it, Princess Cheng reached out and patted her head.
"Okay, this snow fungus soup will get cold if you don't eat it. Eat it quickly."
Song Tangning said "Oh", lowered his head, took a big spoonful and put it into his mouth.
Seeing that her cheeks were bulging and she seemed to have regained some strength, Princess Cheng said from the side: "I heard from your aunt Jun that the Song family has been taken out of the Criminal Division and sent to the imperial prison. What happened to Song Hong and Xu Zhen?" The interrogation is almost over, and almost everything about his prisoner change has been found out, so the Song family may not be able to escape this time."
"The old lady of the Song family has almost died of illness since she was imprisoned. The rest of the Song family is also having a hard time. However, the third lady of the Song family acted decisively and broke up with Song Tan long ago."
"Yi Jue?" Song Tangning was surprised.
Princess Cheng nodded: "This matter is quite a big deal, but it's just because of the matter between you and the Lu family that it didn't cause too much trouble."
After the Duke of Song's mansion was confiscated and imprisoned, the third wife of the third room of the Song family who returned to her natal family naturally could not escape due to involvement in treason. When the Black Armored Guards sent someone to fetch the third lady, she had already reported Song Tan to the local government. , claiming that he acted improperly, plotted rebellion for his brother, deceived his wife's family and deceived the emperor, and tried to implicate his wife's family.
Mrs. Song San did not want to renew their relationship as husband and wife, and wanted to break off the marriage with justice. There was no precedent for this matter. The black armored guards brought Mrs. Song San and her son back to the capital, and took the paper with them to sue Song Tan for justice. The petition was also handed over to Xiao Yan.
"At that time, everyone thought that Xiao Yan would kill them all, but Xiao Yan didn't feel embarrassed after reading it. He just forwarded the petition to Jingzhao Mansion. The next day, the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen claimed that Song Tan was at fault and that his relatives were treasonous. The two of them were sentenced to death for harming their clan, so the affairs of the Duke of Song Dynasty did not involve the third lady of Song Dynasty and her clan."
Song Tangning had been paying attention to the Lu family's affairs during this period and had never paid attention to the Song family. Now she heard a low voice: "Then Song Jinnan and the others..."
"They are the heirs of the Song family, so they cannot avoid them."
Song Tangning was silent: "Aunt Three is actually willing to give up?"
Princess Cheng sighed softly: "It's not that she doesn't want to let go, it's that if she didn't, she would have to go to prison herself."
Song Hong will be exiled even if he is involved in treason. How the rest of the Song family will be sentenced depends on His Majesty's will. The third lady of Song is not alone. If she cannot escape and be convicted together with the Song family, everyone in her family will be implicated. Sisters and unmarried girls.
At that time, everyone paid great attention to family background, and the noble clans with names and surnames were both prosperous and devastated. If a girl in the clan was convicted, the remaining girls would be in trouble in their future marriages, and even the ones who got married would suffer. implicated.
Song Tangning hated Song Tan, but she didn't have much hatred for the other people in the third room. They had never actively harmed her in the previous life. At most, they just hated calling her ugly and ignored Song Jinxiu and others for treating her harshly.
She didn't want to kill the third aunt. After hearing the words, she didn't think about it anymore. She just said it with emotion: "Aunt, if something happens to me one day, don't come to save me. Take good care of me." Live well yourself..."
"boom!"
Princess Cheng raised her hand and pointed it at her head: "What did you say? Eat your snow fungus soup!"
Song Tangning immediately covered his head and said "Oh" in disgust, and buried his head in eating.
…
The sky at night is like thick ink scattered, and the bright moon is hidden behind the clouds, creating a mysterious feeling for no reason.
Lu Zhinian had a high fever since he followed Lu Chongyuan to Jiuyun Lane during the day and was carried back to the house after being fainted. People from the Imperial Medical Office came and went, and they went back and forth in the hospital several times. It is easy for the high fever to subside, but the person is still in a coma.
The rest of the Lu family couldn't stand their sleepiness and went back to rest one after another. Song Mo also leaned against the door to take a nap tiredly.
The room was dark, and Lu Zhinian was lying on the bed in the back room, his tightly closed eyes trembling.
"Brother Lu, it hurts so much..."
"Brother Lu, please help me..."
The shrill screams came from not far away, and Lu Zhinian seemed to have fallen into a nightmare, watching "him" standing in the yard with a tense face, looking at the closed door of Shi'an Garden.
Bloody water was being brought out in basin after basin, and the increasingly shrill screams inside made people's scalp numb. "He" seemed to just feel that he was in trouble and frowned tightly in disgust.
"How could this happen? Didn't she go back to Lingyun Temple? How could she fall into the snow nest and end up like this?" Xie Yin's voice was trembling as he spoke.
"How do I know?" "He" said with a sullen expression, "Why didn't you leave anyone to keep an eye on her that day?"
Xie Yin and Song Jinxiu both looked over.
"I thought you stayed..."
"I thought you stayed."
In unison, the three of them realized that no one had stayed with them that day. During these three days, "he" thought that Song Tangning had already returned to the Song family, while Song Jinxiu and the others thought that he was still with them in Lingyun Temple. She was angry, but no one noticed that something had happened to her a long time ago. She fell into the snow nest and was found by a passing hunter for three days.
Song Jinxiu's face turned pale: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have vented my anger on her. She was just willful. I should have brought her back..."
"What's the use of talking about this now? What should we do if she's like this?" Xie Yin was trembling in fear.
"Brother Lu, Tang Ning will not spare me, grandma and the others will not spare me..."
Song Shulan trembled with tears streaming down her face, holding "him" by the corner of his clothes and trembling.
Lu Zhinian only wanted to see the blood in the basin. He just wanted to see Song Tangning in the room who was desperately calling "Brother Lu". He wanted to kick Song Shulan away who was clinging to him. Tangning would be angry if he saw it.
But the "him" in the dream stretched out his hand to help Song Shulan up, holding her waist with pity: "No, it's because she is ignorant and angry with others that she made such a fuss. Don't worry, I and you will Brother will protect you."
Song Shulan leaned in his arms, raising her head with tears in her eyes.
"Brother Lu..."
"Don't call me!!"
Lu Zhinian woke up from the bed with a "swish", roaring in anger, and his head was covered with cold sweat.
