Bondage

Song Nian got up quickly when he heard the words: "What did you say?"

"what happened?"

She stared at Yinsu, her eyes full of surprise: "Why would a good mother go to the family temple? And even if she went to the family temple, why would she be escorted by the second sister? And why did no one say anything about her actions at night?"

"Why did the second sister suddenly fall down the mountain?"

Yin Su shook his head: "I don't know, I just listened to what the woman in the outer courtyard said."

"This morning, my servant got up early and went to the kitchen to look for Mrs. Zhang. When I passed by, I saw her chatting with other people. The servant listened closely and heard her say that the lady twisted her hair yesterday and said that she was going to the family temple to meet her." Green lanterns as companions."

"My servant has inquired about it. Many people in the Madam's courtyard heard what he said. Qiu Shui even injured his arm because of this matter, and shed blood all over the courtyard."

"Okay, why would mother go to the family temple?"

Yinsu said in a low voice: "The servants all say that the Second Miss forced them."

"After Madam and Second Miss quarreled, Tanzhu went to find the Patriarch. When the Patriarch came, he sent everyone away. No one knows what happened afterwards."

"Yesterday, the yards of Mrs. Er and Miss Er were quiet. The servants went to see them, and they were indeed sealed off."

Yin Su red eyes: "Miss, what should I do?"

Song Nian grabbed the hem of her skirt, also panicking.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Where is Lan'er?"

"Now Nanny Song is taking care of it, the young master is fine."

"Let me think about it."

Song Nian lowered his eyes for a moment, and wiped the sweat on his palms irritably.

"Where were brother and sister-in-law yesterday?"

"I have been in the master's study and never come out."

"Where is Nanny Song?"

"The slave does not know."

"Did someone come to pick up my mother and sister yesterday?"

"I didn't hear that someone came to the house yesterday."

Song Nian sat slumped on the embroidered pier, his eyes were slightly red and said: "Even if mother can't bear to want to be with the green light, she shouldn't be sent away overnight. My brother must have said something or did something to offend her." I will make my brother unhappy."

"Second sister, she..."

I'm afraid I don't know what to shout about.

Although the elder brother is not close to them, he is not a person who will avenge his personal revenge after the fall. He will do so, probably because the second sister has done something stupid to endanger the Song family.

In just a moment, Song Nian guessed all about what Song Yao said.

She pursed her lips, tears streaming down her cheeks to her neckline.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said those things in front of Second Sister. Knowing her character, why should I tell her those fatal guesses?"

If those words were heard by the elder brother, it might not be a big deal, but if the patriarch of the Song clan heard those words, how could the second sister survive?

Song Nian covered his face, weeping.

"Miss, this servant doesn't understand."

Yinsu lowered her voice and said: "Miss, what you mean is that Second Miss died in the mansion...why?"

"She's either talking nonsense to smear the queen's chastity, or she wants the Song family to take advantage of the Holy Majesty's affection for the eldest sister to seek personal gain for herself."

Thinking of yesterday's imperial decree for bestowing marriage, Song Nian tightly grasped the handkerchief.

Yin Su's eyes widened: "Miss, you mean that Second Miss wants the Song family to take advantage of the Queen's power to overthrow the imperial edict of marriage?"

"This this……"

Hearing this, Song Nian couldn't help covering his face and crying softly.

Even Yinsu could understand something, why didn't the second sister not understand it?

The eldest sister Gui being the empress of the Song Dynasty seems to be the icing on the cake, but why is it not like a raging fire?Concubine Yun was in Nanqing with the third prince, and it seemed that the Holy Majesty was confiding in the Song family, but why didn't the eldest sister in the palace restrain the existence of Concubine Yun?

During this period of time, even the third uncle, who had never been careless, put his tail between his legs, but her second sister kept making noises again and again...

Some time ago, she clearly fell silent, but she fell into a daze again because of her stupid words.

Song Nian wept bitterly, hating himself so much that he couldn't restrain his temper that day, and insisted on arguing with Song Yao for those useless anger.

"Miss, don't cry, the mansion has not...not reported the funeral of the second lady, so it must be a servant talking nonsense."

"There will be no funeral reports, at least not at this time."

Song Nian cried and said, "Yesterday just after the imperial decree was issued, it is too strange that the second sister had an accident. My brother will report this matter to the Holy Majesty, but there will be no words in the face."

"Why?"

Yinsu was puzzled.

"Tell your majesty to show your loyalty, and not to mourn is to save the face of the Song family."

Her second elder sister could only go there so quietly, and the words of falling down the mountain were just an excuse to prevaricate the servants.

This reason is full of loopholes, and there are too many unreasonable speculations, but it is also true that those servants will keep silent, for fear of violating the taboo of the master.

For a moment Song Nian didn't know whether to blame his elder brother for being cruel, or to hate himself for hurting Song Yao with his quick tongue.

The master and servant were wiping away tears in the room when Zhu Ye came in from the outside.

"Miss, Nanny Song is looking for you."

Song Nian stood up and wiped away the tears on his face, knowing that Mingxiang must have something to say to her.

The servants in the mansion and the other two households don't need to know about this matter, but she has to know the truth.

And the sister-in-law also needs to see her reaction to this matter.

After cleansing the face, Song Nian walked out slowly.

In the main hall of the Song Mansion, Ming Xiang was discussing matters with several housekeepers, when she saw Song Nian approaching, she slightly waved her hand away from everyone.

Her movements are natural and smooth. Although her face is still a little immature, her eyes and the aura she exudes are unrivaled.Song Nian lowered her eyes slightly, she couldn't remember how she was when she first married into the Song Mansion, and she didn't speak very neatly.

"You're here, sit down."

He casually nodded the seat in front of him, Ming Xiang said: "Did you hear what the people in the house said today?"

"What do you think?"

Song Nian was silent, not knowing how to answer for a while.

After a long time, she said: "Is her words disrespectful or is she pampered?"

She asked this question without beginning or end, but Ming Xiang slightly curled his lips when he heard the words, and admired them in his heart.

"I knew you were smart in the past, but I didn't know you were so smart. Since you can ask this question, it shows that you are polite."

"Your elder brother is afraid that you will have a suspicion against the mansion, so let me solve it for you."

Ming Xiang let out a long sigh: "In the past, before I was married to the Song Mansion, I was very puzzled why my father would let Wan'er go to the Chengyang Hou Mansion to be a widow, but now I know."

There was helplessness in her tone: "As an elder brother, you can be indifferent to some things, but as the head of a clan, you have to do it."

"Lan'er will be raised in my room in the future, and Nanny Song will teach beside me."

Song Nian opened his mouth slightly, feeling sore but had to say something about sister-in-law's hard work.

Seeing that Song Nian showed no resentment, Ming Xiang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Song Nian is not like Mrs. Song and Song Yao, which is really gratifying.
