The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

Jiu Ye told Song Qianning the truth that Song Chengyan and Song Chengyi had both passed away, and Ling Yanran had died in childbirth, and the child was dead at birth.

However, Jiu Ye thought about it again and again and still did not tell her that all this was related to the emperor.

Song Qianning felt as if struck by lightning, her eyes full of disbelief. She took several steps back, but Mu Ju supported her.

Song Qianning was heartbroken and hopeless. She gritted her teeth and said word by word: "Take me back to the Marquis' Mansion, immediately..."

Jiu Ye did not dare to delay, and took Song Qianning and flew over the palace wall and landed on the horse's back, galloping in the dark night.

As soon as they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, Song Qianning jumped off the horse anxiously without waiting for Jiu Ye to stop, and fell to the ground because she lost her balance.

Jiu Ye quickly dismounted and helped her up. After Song Qianning stood up, she rushed straight into the Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as I entered the front hall, I saw two coffins. Only Prince Rui and his eldest sister were kneeling beside them in plain clothes.

Song Qianning felt heartbroken at this moment, she couldn't believe that everything she saw was real.

She walked closer to the coffin step by step, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

She didn't understand, how could this happen? ? Wasn't the charge of treason changed? ?

Why is it still like this? ? My grandmother is gone, my father and my second brother are gone too, and now my eldest brother and his wife are also lying in this cold coffin.

Even the third brother... Jiu Ye said that the third brother had died on that ship.

She now only has two family members: her mother and her elder sister. Mother, Song Qianning looked around but could not see her mother.

"Big sister, where is mother???"

Song Qianxue burned paper money and said in a hoarse voice: "After my sister-in-law and her son left, my mother was in a coma for a day and woke up at sunset..."

"Has mother had dinner?"

Murong Jingsheng was considering that Song Qianxue was having difficulty speaking now. He said, "Mother said she couldn't eat and wanted to be alone. Because the Marquis' Mansion has a lot of things to do all day, and considering that there are many people coming to pay their respects, we let mother rest in Xifeng Garden to avoid being more sad here..."

"No... Mother couldn't possibly leave my elder brother and his wife behind just to stay alone in Xifeng Garden..."

Song Qianning suddenly had a terrible premonition, and Song Qianxue's action of burning paper money also paused because of her third sister's words.

She suddenly felt a chill and got up with difficulty. She and Song Qianning looked at each other, and then they ran towards Xifeng Garden in tacit understanding.

Murong Jingsheng, who realized it later, also felt something was wrong and hurried forward...

Song Qianning and Song Qianxue stumbled all the way to Xifeng Garden. They had walked this road for so many years, but now it seemed so far away.

When the two arrived at Xifeng Garden, they saw Nanny Chen outside and their mother's bedroom door was closed.

Song Qianning panted and asked quickly: "Madame Chen, is mother in there..."

"Hail, Queen..."

Song Qianning interrupted Nanny Chen impatiently and said, "Don't talk nonsense to me. Tell me, how is mother? Why is the door closed?"

"Madam said she was a little tired and asked me to close the door, saying that she wanted to have a good rest. I thought that Madam had been crying every day these days and had not had a good sleep. When I saw Madam lying down, I closed the door. I was afraid of disturbing Madam, so I asked the maids not to get close."

After hearing what Nanny Chen said, Song Qianning and Song Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Qianxue asked Nanny Chen: "How long has mother slept? Did she have dinner?"

Nanny Chen shook her head and said, "We haven't had dinner yet. Madam has probably been sleeping for more than an hour..."

How can we do that when we haven't had dinner yet? Song Qianning knocked on the door and called out, "Mother, it's Ning'er. Are you awake? Ning'er is coming in..."

After Song Qianning finished speaking, she pushed open the door. The shocking scene made her feel like she was swept by a storm.

“Ahhh… Mother…”

Song Qianning rushed to the bed. She took out a handkerchief and desperately covered her mother's wrist. There was so much blood, so much blood, and she couldn't stop it...

Song Qianxue fell to her knees after being devastated by the blood all over the floor. She used her hands and feet to crawl to the bed.

Murong Jingsheng found a letter left on the table. It only had a short sentence - Ning'er Xue'er, please forgive your mother. Your mother can't let you go after all. Take care!

Even though Murong Jingsheng had lived through two lifetimes, he still felt endless sadness at this moment.

The Marquis' Mansion was destined to not escape this tragedy. From the moment Dugu Yan entered the palace in a high-profile manner, he knew that as long as this vicious woman was there.

Any prey she sets her eyes on or anyone she hates will not have a good ending.

He didn't know how much the emperor was involved in the tragic death of his father-in-law's family besides Dugu Yan?

This is his aunt's family! Has the emperor forgotten that he was able to survive thanks to the Marquis' family?

Clearly in my memory, my fourth brother was a kind-hearted person who took everything lightly, but now this cold-blooded and ambitious emperor is no longer the fourth brother of the past.

I don’t know if the death of his mother-in-law can make the emperor repent and stop his selfish desire to plunder other people’s homes.

"Mother, don't sleep anymore. Open your eyes and look at Ning'er. Grandmother and father are gone, and so are my three brothers and sister-in-law. Are you going to abandon Ning'er too?"

Song Qianning seemed to have returned to the rainy night of her previous life, with the scene of her parents committing suicide overlapping with this moment.

She didn't understand why everyone wanted to leave her? ? Her parents did it before, and so did Han Xun. In the past ten years, she had finally adapted to having a family that loved her.

I finally convinced myself to continue living with my family here.

But she seemed to have no family again. Was she destined to be without family for the rest of her life?

Song Qianning felt like a dead tree floating on the sea at this moment, and her heart began to shrink and ache.

She carefully leaned close to Jiang's ear and whispered softly: "Mother, you must be too tired. Ning'er allows you to sleep for a little while longer, but only for a little while. When the time comes, you must wake up, understand?"

Song Qianxue hugged her third sister in her arms with heartache, her hoarse voice unable to utter a word.

Murong Jingsheng said reluctantly: "My Lady, Mother has already..."

"Don't call me empress. I'm just my mother's daughter, not anyone's empress. Hush~ Listen, do you hear me?"

Song Qianning's mysterious look made Murong Jingsheng and Jiu Ye look at each other in surprise.

Jiu Ye answered carefully: "My Lady, what did you hear?"

"I've told you not to call me empress. I'm not. I'm mother's darling, not some empress. Didn't you hear it? That's mother's snoring. Listen? Is it loud? Mother must be exhausted. I'll wait here for mother to wake up. Then I'll accompany her to find father and brothers..."

Song Qianxue hugged her third sister tighter, she choked up and said: "Third sister, wake up, mother is gone..."

Song Qianning pushed Song Qianxue away and scolded: "You are talking nonsense. Mother was obviously sleeping, and you actually said that she was gone. You are such a bad daughter. You actually said bad things about your mother. I will beat you to death, beat you to death..."

Song Qianning yelled like a madman and kept beating Song Qianxue.

Seeing this, Murong Jingsheng hurriedly protected Song Qianxue, but he did not dare to be violent towards Song Qianning, so he had to use his body to block Song Qianning's blows.

Seeing this, Jiu Ye had no choice but to grab Song Qianning's hands and shouted: "Empress, please wake up, the Marquis's wife is dead..."

Song Qianning was frightened by the roar and was stunned. Suddenly, the ridicule of her relatives from her previous life rang in her ears.

[From now on, I will be a wild child that no one wants...]

[Your parents would rather die than have you...]

[You must have killed your parents...]

Suddenly, she roared like an angry lion with bloodshot eyes: "You are the one who died, why don't you die, you die now..."

Song Qianning came forward and bit Jiuye's neck. Her sharp teeth pierced the skin and blood oozed out...

Song Qianxue was frightened by her third sister's crazy appearance and was at a loss what to do. She shouted in a hoarse voice: "Third sister..."

At the critical moment, Murong Jingsheng knocked Song Qianning unconscious with one palm...
