Shen Jingyi, who had received the emperor's order, naturally did not slack off. He followed the clues in Lan Cheng'an's confession letter and found all the members of the second branch of the Lan family in a deep mountain on the outskirts of the city.

Lan Cheng'an was indeed cunning. He had built a villa deep in the mountains long ago. Once his crime was exposed, this villa would be a perfect hiding place.

"Master Lan, please."

"Lord Shen is truly powerful."

Lan Xiu, the second master of the Lan family, smiled bitterly. He knew that the Lan family would face such trouble sooner or later, but he didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

At this moment, Shen Jingyi was wearing official uniform and had a serious look on his face, which was completely different from how he looked in front of Song Qingwan.

"Your subordinate is following orders, and I hope you will cooperate."

"Of course, my rebellious son deserves death a thousand times for what he did, but it's a pity for my young grandchildren."

At this time, all the members of the Lan family who were hiding here were brought out, including Lan Xiu and his wife, as well as Lan Cheng'an's wives, concubines, children, and a little grandson who was only a few months old.

The child is innocent, but are the people who were killed directly or indirectly by the Lan family not innocent too?

"Take them all away."

Shen Jingyi ignored Lan Xiu's words. The emperor was his master and he was only responsible for handling the case.

More than twenty members of the Lan family were taken back to the capital. In order to prevent any further complications, the emperor ordered that they be taken directly to Caishikou without leaving a single person alive.

For a while, the Caishikou was flooded with blood, and the onlookers all applauded.

Of course, there are different voices. Some people think that the emperor is too cruel. Lan Cheng'an is the only one who did evil, but the entire second branch of the Lan family was implicated.

When Song Qingwan heard these voices, she shook her head. How come the Virgin Mary has never died since ancient times?

The premise for not bringing disaster to the family is that they must not benefit from it. The Lan family enjoys the people's money and effort plundered by Lan Cheng'an. How are they innocent?

When the emperor was angry, blood splattered thousands of miles. The emperor also used this opportunity to warn the empress and the Duke of Chu, saying that they had indeed gone too far.

As the affairs of the Lan family were settled, Pang also received an imperial edict allowing her and Song Chengfeng to divorce.

"Thank you Lord for your grace."

Pang Shi knelt on the ground, as if she was dreaming. She couldn't remember how long she had been looking forward to this day.

This imperial edict was naturally requested by Song Qingwan. Since Song Qingwan cured the empress dowager last time, she asked the eldest princess to mention it several times in an indirect way.

In addition, Song Qingwan had made great contributions in the Lan family's affairs this time, so the emperor naturally could not refuse and issued this decree.

In addition, the emperor also wanted to intimidate the Lan family by doing this. Although the Pang family has no male heirs now, Pang Lingyan is a woman who is as capable as any man.

This time, Pang Lingyan brought Song Qingwan back to the Pang family, naturally with the intention of supporting the Pang family.

In the main hall of the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Song Chengfeng's face was covered with dark clouds, as if he was about to explode at the next moment.

Pang Shi sat aside and didn't care about Song Chengfeng's reaction at all. She held the account book in her hand and explained the income and expenditure one by one.

The other three concubines sat at the bottom and listened silently.

The more Jiang listened, the more confused she became. She had never known before that being the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion meant taking care of so many things. If it were her turn, would she really be able to manage it well?

Xia Zhu and Qiu Rong were much calmer. They had made up their mind long ago that they would go wherever the madam went.

"Master, are these accounts correct? Excluding my dowry, the remaining three shops and four farms, the accounts are all here."

"Are you really going to leave?"

"The imperial decree has been issued. Master, do you think it can be treated as a joke?"

"What about Wan'er?"

"Wan'er will naturally come with me, otherwise your Song family will use these things as her dowry and let her marry into Prince Huai's mansion?"

Pang Lingyan's face was full of sarcasm. All the salary and rewards Song Chengfeng had received over the years were not as much as her dowry. Song Chengfeng had never considered anything for their daughter.

"You... Pang Lingyan, please don't go too far. I won't let you take Wan'er away."

Pang Lingyan stood up, walked step by step to Song Chengfeng, and spoke in a low voice.

"If you don't agree, I will report you to the emperor for poisoning his wife."

Song Chengfeng was shocked all over. He looked at Pang Lingyan with some fear. She actually knew everything.

Yes, now there is no sign of poisoning in Pang Lingyan's body. It turns out that she had discovered it long ago and detoxified herself.

No matter how unwilling Song Chengfeng was, he had to compromise. If Pang Lingyan told this to others, he would have no chance of becoming prime minister.

Murdering the legitimate wife is a serious crime in the Great Saint Dynasty!

On the second day, Pang Lingyan finally got on the carriage back to the Pang family. Song Qingwan accompanied her by her side, and behind them followed a team of servants carrying the dowry. It was so long that the end of the team was invisible.

How Pang Lingyan married into the Song family with such splendor, and how she returned to the Pang family with her dowry now.

"Madam! Miss! Wait for me!"

Just as the carriage was about to leave, Xia Zhu and Xiao Hong ran over. Both of them were dressed as maids, holding bundles in their arms.

"This is what you are doing?"

"Madam, please take us with you. Xia Zhu is willing to serve you for the rest of his life. Please take us in."

Xia Zhu's face was full of pleading. Her revenge had been taken and she no longer wanted to be a concubine of the Song family. She just wanted to live a clean life.

"Then let's go. The Pang family will be your home from now on."

"Hey, thank you ma'am!"

Xia Zhu and Xiao Hong happily followed the team, but as for Qiu Rong, Song Chengfeng refused to let her go.

Now that Song Changbai is his only healthy son, he naturally will not let Qiu Rong and her son go.

After Pang left, Qiu Rong became the main wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Song Changbai became Song Chengfeng's only legitimate son, and Jiang simply stayed indoors and refused to go out.

Song Qingwan was also very sad to hear the news. In the end, Jiang got nothing, and her son was even made mentally retarded by her own daughter.

When the news of Pang Lingyan's return to the Pang family reached the Grand Tutor's residence, the Grand Tutor was so happy that he could not sleep at night. He personally led the servants to clean the room and hung red silk all over the mansion.

When the sun goes down, the Grand Tutor's Mansion is brightly lit, just like New Year's Day.

Master Pang personally led his servants to stand at the door, waiting anxiously.

"Here we go, sir, the young lady is back!"

The butler had sharp eyes and immediately saw the team of carriages turning into the street.

"Yan'er! It's Yan'er who's back. Hurry! I want to greet her in person."

"Hey! Master, please slow down."

Grand Tutor Pang almost trotted forward to greet her. The carriage stopped at the gate of the Grand Tutor's mansion and Pang Lingyan quickly got off the carriage.

"Father! My daughter is back, father!"

Pang Lingyan knelt in front of her elderly father, crying inconsolably.

"Get up, get up! Yan'er, you can still come back, come back to this home, it feels like a dream to your father! Get up, get up!"

Pang Lingyan wiped away her tears, stood up without waiting for her father to help her, and pulled Song Qingwan to her side.

"Wan'er, from now on the Pang family is our home, and your grandfather is our support"

"Wan'er pays respects to grandpa."

"Hey! Hey! Let's go home!"

Master Pang laughed and led everyone into the mansion. This house finally felt like home again.
