Quickly wear a life of peace

"Son, you are an official, you should understand the dangers here best!"

Song Changgeng immediately assured, "Mom, don't worry, I will take care of it. I will also teach Ji Yang and the others well."

Jia nodded with satisfaction. She knew her son's temper and felt relieved.

Then he looked at Song Qingning worriedly, "Second girl, you are the most dangerous one in our family right now. You have made great contributions and should have lived a worry-free life, but now the Sixth Prince has picked up a ready-made opportunity. I'm afraid your marriage will be plotted against."

Thinking that Song Jichang was still unengaged, he frowned even more and sighed heavily, "Son, you have to think carefully about Jichang's marriage. Don't let anyone plot against them!"

Song Changgeng naturally knew the interests involved, "Don't worry, mother! I will be careful and keep an eye on the three of them. But the second girl will need mother to take good care of her."

Instead of feeling happy about their impending success, the family was filled with worry.

Even Zhang was not dazzled by the wealth. Instead, she was more worried about her daughter's future.

During the rest of the journey, the family thought gloomily about the things happening in the capital.

It was really hard to be unable to show any displeasure even after getting ashore.

The Song family's house was also returned because Song Changgeng was cleared of all charges.

Song Qingya had already sent someone to clean up the place, so they could move in as soon as they came back, which saved a lot of trouble.

The next day, Song Changgeng took Song Qingning, father and daughter, to the palace to express their gratitude.

The emperor's health has been deteriorating since the second prince's rebellion, and he is now bedridden.

The affairs of the court have gradually been taken over by the Sixth Prince.

The emperor didn't want to summon them again, so he just asked them to kowtow at the door.

The father and daughter kowtowed outside the door to express their gratitude as instructed, and then Song Changgeng was called by the Sixth Prince for questioning.

Song Qingning was summoned by the Empress Dowager, the Queen, and the Sixth Prince's biological mother, Concubine Jin.

The Queen Mother and the Empress simply asked a few questions, went through the formalities, and then let Song Qingning leave.

Concubine Jin held Song Qingning and talked for a long time.

He praised Song Qingning and then Song Qingya, saying that the Song family was good at educating their children and that both sisters were good.

He also praised Song Qingya's son, the Second Young Master.

Although she didn't mention anything else, Song Qingning could tell that this Concubine Jin was a little bit arrogant.

No wonder the emperor gave her the title of "Jing". I wonder if the future empress dowager can control her temper.

When he finally came out of the palace, Song Qingning felt that talking this conversation was more tiring than working in the fields for a whole day.

After waiting in the carriage for a long time, Song Changgeng finally came out.

He was also sweating all over, and his back was soaked with sweat.

Song Qingning quickly took a handkerchief and asked him to wipe his sweat, and stopped him from riding the horse. "Father, why don't you just sit on the shaft? You've sweated so much, it would be bad if you don't get caught in the wind."

Song Changgeng nodded, and did not take his daughter's handkerchief. He wiped it with his sleeve and said, "Hey, sit down, let's go back."

Knowing that this was not the place to talk, Song Qingning said no more and got back into the carriage. The father and daughter returned home in silence.

He first asked someone to fetch some water, and then everyone went to wash up and change into dry clothes. Then he went to Jia's yard to talk.

Before Jia could ask any more questions, Song Changgeng spoke first, "As expected of a royal family member, the Sixth Prince has changed very quickly. It has only been a short time, but he has become so unfathomable. I didn't know if he was just pretending before."

He turned to Zhang and Song Qingning and said, "When you meet Qingya, remember to remind her to be careful with her words and actions, just protect herself, and don't do anything unnecessary. All we want is peace, don't think too much."

Zhang nodded and agreed, and Song Qingning also nodded.

Jia asked worriedly, "How was your visit to the palace this time? Is there anything?"

The father and daughter shook their heads together, and Song Changgeng said, "Don't worry, mother. The Sixth Prince is not in trouble. He is just asking about Lingnan matters."

Song Qingning also took the initiative to explain, "The Queen Mother didn't say anything, it was just a formality. Although Concubine Jin talked to me for a while, she only praised me, my sister, and the young master."

Everyone's expressions relaxed, and Jia emphasized again, "It's okay for us to come back at this time, but for future safety, everyone must keep a low profile and be cautious."

Everyone nodded in agreement and promised not to cause any trouble.

The next day after returning, Song Changgeng went to the Ministry of Works to take up his post, while Zhang took Song Qingning to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to see Song Qingya.

She first greeted the Sixth Prince's wife, said a few polite words, and then let the two go to Song Qingya's courtyard. When the mother and daughter met, they almost hugged each other and cried, but were stopped by the nanny beside Song Qingya.

The two of them came to their senses then. Zhang and Song Qingning greeted Song Qingya, but Song Qingya did not let them bow and pulled Zhang back to the room.

Song Qingning tactfully sat in the lobby and waited, allowing them to have a private conversation.

The chef in the Sixth Prince's mansion has pretty good skills. The pastries he makes are delicate and small, and they are easy to eat in one bite. They also taste good.

After taking a bite, Song Qingning stopped eating and turned to look at the layout of the room.

As a result, she discovered that there were many poisonous flowers among the plants in the yard, which showed that her sister was not having a good time!

After a while, the mother and daughter came out from the inner room. Both of them had red eyes and Zhang's clothes were full of wrinkles. It was obvious that they had just cried.

After venting their emotions, the three of them were finally able to sit down and have a calm chat.

Song Qingya held Song Qingning's hand affectionately and praised her highly.

Song Qingning felt embarrassed after hearing this. She lowered her head shyly and reminded softly, "Sister, there's something wrong with the flowers and plants outside..."

The Prince's Mansion is really a place where people can grow quickly. Upon hearing this news, Song Qingya was shocked, but on the surface she appeared very calm.

She held Song Qingning's hand tightly, then quickly released it and returned to her natural state. While chatting with Zhang, she quietly squeezed Song Qingning's hand to show that she understood the situation.

As time was approaching noon, the second son who was studying abroad also came back, and the family gathered together for lunch.

Song Qingning took the opportunity to carefully observe the face of the second young master, and his future was uncertain.

I just have some health problems, but maybe because the front yard is strict, the problem is not big and is easy to solve.

Song Qingning looked at the mother and daughter and couldn't help but sigh that the royal family was truly the dirtiest place in the world!

Song Qingya saw her sister staring at her son for a while, and she became nervous.
