Bondage

Song Wan was a little flustered upon hearing this.

For her father, she dared not and could not disobey.

"Nothing, everything is mine."

Song Fu calmly comforted Song Wan, and the two got up and went outside to meet Song Lan'an.

"I have met the clan elders and my father."

"Wan'er has met the clan elders and father."

Mrs. Song stood behind them with lowered eyebrows, very quiet.

"This house is not bad, Fu'er has a very good eye."

With a slight compliment, Song Lan'an strode into the middle hall without even looking at Song Wan.The two elderly clan elders looked even more dignified, and sat down behind Song Lan'an.

Mrs. Song smiled and said: "Wan'er is very festively dressed today, she looks much healthier than when she was in the Hou's Mansion."

Song Lanan snorted coldly when he heard the words, Song Wan lowered his head and remained silent.

"The only courtesy of a woman is respect and obedience. You hurt your husband and son-in-law first, and then you escape from the house privately. Such unchaste and unvirtuous behavior will really tarnish the reputation of my daughter of the Song family."

"Clan elder calm down."

Mrs. Song went to call Hengzhihengwu to bring tea, but she said with a smile: "Don't be angry, the old man, there was chaos in Beijing that day, the Marquis of Chengyang probably sent her here because he was worried about Wan'er's safety, and the Marquis of Chengyang was not I also said that when he recovers, he will come to pick up Wan'er and bring him home."

"Wan'er, the Marquis of Chengyang is seriously injured now, you shouldn't be hiding here alone, I will tidy up with your mother today, and later my mother and your father will send you back to the Marquis' mansion."

Mrs. Song's tone was gentle, with a very gentle appearance.

Song Lan'an picked up the teacup and fiddled with the froth gently, then sipped the tea in silence.

"Wan'er has broken off his relationship with Jiang Xing Jian En, the clan elder came today just in time, Song Fu asked the two of you to be a witness, and resigned from this marriage."

"presumptuous."

The old man of the big clan who had never said anything yelled violently: "My Song clan has never abandoned a woman for a hundred years, and this precedent must never be set."

"This kind of thing that violates the law of heaven and disobeys the husband and the father, my Song family will never tolerate it. If she doesn't repent, she can either go to the temple of the Hou's family to accompany the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp, or let me ask a family staff to kill this person." An unfaithful and unfilial woman."

Mrs. Song frowned, covering the look of contempt in her eyes.

Song Wan's face was pale, but he couldn't open his mouth to defend himself.

If she opened her mouth to quibble, she would be completely accused of being unchaste, unfilial, immoral and shameless.

"The Hou family insulted my daughter of the Song family first, and hurt Qianbai later, and everyone knows that Jiang Xingjian spoiled his concubine and killed his wife and went to Beijing. I don't care if the Song family has divorced or abandoned women, but my sister is so proud that she must not be broken in Chengyang In the hands of the Hou Mansion and his Jiang Xingjian."

"Whether the family supports it or not, my sister, Song Fu, has already died in the same city as Yanghou Jiangxing Jian En."

"If anyone intends to send Wan'er back to the Hou's Mansion, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Song Fu, how dare you!"

The two clan elders stood up tremblingly, Song Lan'an put down the teacup in his hand and said quietly: "Why do you talk to the clan elders?"

"Child dare not."

"Hmph, I think you are very brave."

The frantic old man Qi Qi looked at Song Lan'an, and was about to let Song Lan'an teach Song Fu a lesson, but he picked up the tea and started drinking again.

Song Wan pursed her lips, her eyes were sour.

Her father probably loved her too.

In the past, she had to endure it for the sake of the family's reputation, but now that the trouble has come to this point, what's the difference between going back to Chengyang Hou's mansion and sending her home to humiliate others?

She knew that her father, as the patriarch of the clan, had to make some gestures even if he didn't want to.

Seeing his silent father and Song Fu standing in front of him all the time, Song Wan suppressed the tears in his eyes.

She knew why elder brother mentioned the Prince of the East Palace just now, if her father's clan really decided to support the Fifth Prince's supremacy, then she would have to go back to the Hou's Mansion in the future.

When she returned to the Hou Mansion, she was no longer a model woman who had been widowed for six years, but a shameless and immoral woman who had fled the mansion privately.

Without a good reputation, her situation will only get worse.

So brother mentioned the East Palace, probably because he wanted to switch to the East Palace.

All my brother's plans are for her.

She couldn't help her father and brother, but made trouble for them everywhere, which really made her feel uncomfortable.

"The child is at fault."

"What's wrong?"

Song Fu's face was expressionless: "My child's fault is that he shouldn't talk like this to the elders of the clan."

"As long as you know."

After Song Lan'an finished speaking, he quietly drank tea, and the two clan elders understood his attitude.

Although they were furious in their hearts, they were helpless.

After all, the entire Song clan is now supported by Song Lan'an alone. Although Song Lan'an usually respects the clan very much, if he is really determined to support Song Wan to leave the Hou Mansion, they will not dare to force him to bow his head.

Even so, it still makes them feel ashamed as long as they think that the Song family has a lowly woman like Song Wan.

If it is known to outsiders, they will only say that they are not strict with the daughters of the Song clan, and it will definitely affect all the marriages of men and women in the clan.

The clan elder thought for a while, and said coldly: "It's not that the clan is persecuting ignorant women, but that the Song family's century-old reputation cannot be destroyed in your hands alone. If you insist on not returning to the Marquis' mansion, you will seek a clean name." Go clean."

"Where?"

Song Lan'an glanced at Song Wan, and the thoughts that Song Wan had just aroused suddenly dissipated.

Song Fuyi glared at the clan elder, his eyes were full of anger.

Seeing the stalemate in the scene, Mrs. Song said: "The master still has an appointment with Mr. Chen from the Imperial Academy in the afternoon, and it's almost time now."

Song Lan'an stood up, still without looking at Song Wan, he strode out.

Seeing this, the two Song clan elders followed out with livid faces.

As they left Song Wan's house, one of them said in a gloomy tone: "The patriarch seems to be favoring his own daughter on purpose? How will you convince the public in the future after you act for your daughter today?"

"It's not that I, Song Lan'an, are partial to that girl. The clan elders don't know, but Song Fu's wings are hardened, and I can't do anything to him. If you always have a way, just let Song Fu open his mouth and take Wan'er back to the Marquis Mansion. I have nothing to say. As for I absolutely dare not offend the Eldest Princess."

After finishing speaking, Song Lan'an bowed and got on the carriage.

Mrs. Song sat in the carriage, pondered for a long time and said: "Master, have you ever thought about the future of Yao'er and Nian'er?"

"How about shaking children together?"

Mrs. Song pursed her lips and stopped talking. Song Lan'an was silent for a long time before she lowered her eyes and said: "If Jiang Xingjian loves Wan'er, Wan'er has some uses in the Hou's house. Since Jiang Xingjian treats Wan'er heartlessly, why should I, Song Lan'an, treat Wan'er well?" The girl gave him the grind?"

"If you can't restrain Jiang Xingjian, Wan'er will be like a good-for-nothing. It's better to show Fu'er a favor so that he won't look at me as a father every day."

"My lord is right."

Mrs. Song pinched the handkerchief in her hand, full of gloom.

What did you say to restrain Song Fu? Didn't he value this pair of sons and daughters?If it was her Yao'er Nian'er who escaped from the mansion today, I'm afraid he would have been beaten to death immediately to protect the Song family's name.

Mrs. Song turned her head and stopped looking at Song Lan'an.

"Don't be afraid, Wan'er, you can stay here with peace of mind, and don't worry about the rest."

"Brother is causing trouble."

"What are you talking about?"

Song Fu raised his hand and stroked her head gently, looking at the safe and healthy younger sister, feeling his heart.

"Brother, stay and eat together? I'll make tea for you."

"it is good."

Seeing Song Wan busy warming the utensils, Song Fu said, "Are you familiar with Jiang Yan?"
