The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

When Su Lun returned to the dormitory, the sun had not yet risen and Gu Bei had just woken up. He watched Su Lun walk in, with a barely perceptible sense of relief on his face. "Brother Su, how was your visit to the palace yesterday? You didn't come back last night, and I was a little worried that something unexpected might happen..." Gu Bei said.

"Thank you, Brother Gu, for your concern. Yesterday the general specially allowed me to go home to visit my family." Su Lun cleverly avoided the question to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

"That's good. In that case, let's go for morning exercise!" Gu Bei didn't ask any more questions, but patted Su Lun's shoulder enthusiastically. Then the two of them walked out of the room together and headed towards the training ground.

While Su Lun and others were sweating, another major event happened in Wenxin Marquis's mansion. The personal attendant of the fourth young master of Wenxin Marquis's mansion sued Madam Song for abusing her illegitimate son and sent people to hunt him down, forcing the fourth young master to jump off a cliff. This news soon spread like wildfire.

Jingzhao Yin had a headache looking at the crying servant Yuanbao in the hall and cried: "Sir, please do something for my son. In the past, my lady indiscriminately beat and insulted my son, but yesterday she even sent someone to kill Gongzi. My son was forced to jump off the cliff and now I don't know whether he is alive or dead..."

Jingzhao Yin knocked the gavel impatiently and said, "Alright, alright, I summon your wife to the court."

Soon Mrs. Song was brought to the court.

"Madam Song, your servant is accusing you of murdering your illegitimate son. Do you plead guilty?"

"Master Qi, it's unjust, it's pure slander." Madam Song cried out loudly, and then turned to Yuanbao, "You evil slave, I treat you well on weekdays, but you slander the mistress like this, what's your intention?"

"Treat him well? Madam, don't you feel guilty about that? Madam usually deducts the Fourth Young Master's share and insults him for no reason, but ever since the Fifth Young Master was deposed as the Crown Prince, Madam has gone even further, finding ways to beat or scold the Fourth Young Master every day and humiliating him in every way. Last night, the Fifth Young Master had a fever, and there were servants in the house, but Madam insisted on asking the Fourth Young Master to get medicine. The Fourth Young Master just came back a little late, but Madam slandered him for deliberately delaying. The Fourth Young Master was so angry that he made a few excuses, and Madam ordered people to beat him up. I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect that someone would sneak into the yard in the middle of the night, saying that they were ordered by Madam to take the Fourth Young Master's life... The servant and the Fourth Young Master tried their best to escape, but those people chased us relentlessly, and finally the Young Master was forced to jump off the cliff..."

Yuan Bao had a sad face and spoke excitedly. His eyes were red and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He tried to control his emotions, but his voice couldn't help but tremble: "Sir, I never lied. Please understand!"

After saying that, Yuan Bao kowtowed to Lord Qi several times, with blood all over his forehead. "Madam Song, is this true?" Lord Qi asked with a frown.

"What nonsense. As a legal mother, am I not able to teach my disobedient illegitimate son a lesson? As for what he said about sending people to hunt him down, it is completely false. Who knows if that evil creature offended someone outside and ended up like this." Mrs. Song said with a smug look on her face.

Master Qi frowned and said, "Yuanbao, do you have any evidence for what you said?"

"Yuanbao swears on his life that what I just said is true." Yuanbao said while kneeling.

"That means there are no other witnesses except you." Mrs. Song looked at Yuanbao with a proud face.

Lord Qi looked at the people in the hall and shook his head: "If there is no other evidence, this case will have to be shelved for now." He had heard some rumors about the Song Mansion, and he expressed sympathy for Song Chen's experience, but without evidence, the case would have to be left unresolved.

Mrs. Song was acquitted and was filled with joy. She wanted to settle accounts with Yuan Bao, but she couldn't find him. In desperation, she could only return to the Song Mansion first. However, when she remembered that Song Chen had passed away, she could not suppress her excitement.

At this moment, Song Chen and Yuan Bao were sitting safely in the inner courtyard of the palace. Sitting in front of them was the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Master Chen Xuan.

Song Chen said gratefully: "Thank you for your help, sir. If you hadn't arranged it in advance, I'm afraid I would have really died on the cliff this time."

Master Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said gently, "I have already reminded you to be careful of Madam Song. Now it seems that this is a blessing in disguise. You don't need to go back to the Song Mansion anymore. Regarding what I mentioned before, I wonder what you think about it?"

Song Chen looked serious when he heard this, without any hesitation: "Don't think about it, I'm willing to go."

Master Chen Xuan frowned and said in a serious tone: "This trip is still somewhat dangerous. I still hope you can consider it carefully."

Song Chen raised his lips slightly, revealing a determined smile: "A man will die for his friend. This is an honor for Song Chen. No, from now on I will be Wang Shen. Song Chen is already dead."

Young Master Chen Xuan nodded to show his approval: "In that case, you should have a good rest first, and I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow." After that, he stood up and said goodbye.

After Master Chenxuan walked away, Yuanbao, who had been guarding the door, could no longer suppress his curiosity and quickly walked up to Song Chen, looking puzzled: "Master, what is going on? I thought I would never see you again? Was that Master Chenxuan just now? And this mansion..."

Song Chen looked at Yuan Bao's anxious look, smiled and patted his shoulder: "This is a long story, I will explain it to you slowly later. Yuan Bao, today's matter must be kept secret. Song Chen is dead, I am Wang Shen, do you understand?"

Although Yuanbao still had many questions in his mind, he nodded obediently: "Yuanbao understands. Sir, will we live here from now on?"

Wang Shen frowned and thought for a while, then said softly: "Yuanbao, Mrs. Song must be resentful of you after today's incident. Just in case, you'd better not go out recently. After a while, I will help you find a suitable place, how about it?"

When Yuanbao heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes, and he cried and begged: "Master, please don't drive me away! I will definitely listen to you. I have no other relatives anymore, please let me stay with you."

Wang Shen frowned slightly. He didn't want to drive Yuan Bao away, but he was worried about her safety. He explained: "I don't want to drive you away, but I am concerned about your safety. I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I may not be able to take care of you all the time. However, if you want, you can stay here forever, and I will arrange for someone to send daily necessities to you regularly. But remember, you must not be discovered by the people in the Marquis' Mansion, understand?"

After listening to this, Yuanbao smiled and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir, I understand everything. I will definitely not cause you any trouble."
