This morning, it was rare for the whole family of the Marquis' Mansion to sit together and have breakfast. The old lady was in a good mood because her son and grandson came back, and her whole illness disappeared like a thread, and she became energetic all of a sudden.

Song Boyan was very happy to see his mother recovering. He also saw his third son and two sisters making all kinds of small movements while eating and playing dumb...

Song Qianning took a bite of the shredded radish bun, and her eyes seemed to have discovered a new world. She bumped into Song Chengyi, who kept looking at the bun, pointing at it with his fingers, and humming softly...

Song Qianning - Third brother, try it, it’s delicious.

Song Chengyi——Is it really that delicious?? Not delicious.

Song Chengyi's disdainful look hit Song Qianning, and she bumped into Song Qianxue again, who bit her.

Song Qianning——How what? ?

Song Qianxue——Not bad, not bad.

Song Chengyi—Impossible, impossible.

Although the three of them didn't say anything, they looked like mime actors, with rich expressions and vivid movements...

Looking at the three people who have such a good relationship, Song Boyan was so pleased that his eyes were a little hot!! He fought outside for the people of Xuanyue Country to live and work in peace and contentment, and also for his family to sit together and have a good meal...

Song Boyan said caringly: "Ning'er, Yi'er, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, just say it!!"

"Ugh!! Grandma said not to talk while eating and not to talk while sleeping..."

"Yes! Grandma told us to be quiet during meals..."

"Yes, yes!"

"Hey!! Those rigid rules are the bad habits of civil officials. We are a family of military commanders, so it's okay to be more relaxed. Haha... ha... uh!"

Song Boyan met his mother's gaze and felt a little embarrassed. Damn it! He forgot about his mother...

"Haha, mother, I think it's no big deal to have some fun..."

The old lady glared at her son. Even though her son is now a great general and the Marquis of Zhenbei, he was actually a naughty boy when he was little, always climbing up the roof and causing trouble.

"Mother, grandmother, can we talk now?" Song Qianning asked cautiously.

"That's right! Grandma, you see, father always said that we don't need to learn those fancy rules of civil servants."

"Brother Yi, stop talking nonsense..." Jiang glared at her third son.

"Forget it, just say whatever you want to say!"

The old lady originally just felt that the four little rascals were making it difficult to have a good meal, so she didn't allow them to talk.

"Father, are we really going to the palace to attend the banquet tonight?"

Song Qianning got excited just thinking about it. She had been here for almost two months and could finally enter the palace. She didn't know if this palace was the same as the one in the TV series. The Song family had also entered the palace for banquets before, but the owner of the original body always used feeling unwell as an excuse to refuse.

"Yes! The emperor is hosting a banquet tonight to reward the three armies, and our whole family will go to the palace. Oh! Ning'er, this time your father bought some goodies from a peddler who traveled all over the country. I'll ask Xu Fu to send them to you later..."

When Song Boyan heard his precious daughter talking, his mouth felt as sweet as if he had a piece of candy in it. When his daughter was little, she was afraid of him, which made him, the old father, feel lost for a long time.

"Father, what is that???"

"You'll know when you go back and see it later..." Song Boyan's eyes were almost narrowed into slits.

Jiang felt helpless when she saw the worthless look on the Marquis' face. Her Marquis always had a cold and murderous look on his face that would instantly disappear upon seeing Ning'er.

"Father, what about mine?" Song Chengyi asked expectantly.

"You are a boy, what do you need those girls' toys for? If you need a gun or an inkstone, your father will find them for you..."

"Haha... no need to bother father."

"Father, what about mine?" Song Qianyu's face was full of anticipation.

It was bad. He was only thinking about buying one for Ning'er and forgot that there were two others at home. However, how could the Marquis admit his mistake? He smiled and said, "Well, I don't know what you like. I will ask the butler to give you and Xue'er one thousand taels. You can buy whatever you like."

Song Boyan thought that he, the Marquis, was really smart. He had accomplished it perfectly in one go, and he was feeling very happy! Suddenly, he heard some sounds...

[My father is really good-looking, and my eldest brother is handsome too... Unfortunately, they are too trusting, so people took advantage of them and hid the tokens of treason and the letters of close communication with Dong Ling and Ji Yuanguo. If the Marquis' Mansion makes a mistake and is confiscated one day, these will be evidence...]

Hearing his beloved daughter praising him for his good looks, he was happily picking up the teacup, when suddenly… the showerhead sprayed out… and he was stunned on the spot.

The happy old lady was drinking porridge, cough cough... cough cough...

Jiang Shi had not yet put the soup in the spoon into her mouth...

Song Chengyan froze in his tracks while picking up the food...

The lotus root slices that Song Chengzhou picked up with his chopsticks fell off...

Song Chengyi forgot to chew the meat in his mouth...

Song Qianxue covered her mouth with a handkerchief that couldn't be closed...

Jiang, who was the first to react, patted her mother-in-law on the back and asked worriedly, "Mom, are you okay?"

Cough cough cough... The violent coughing sound brought everyone back to their senses, and everyone felt a chill on their backs and was sweating.

"What happened to father and grandmother?" Song Qianning looked puzzled.

"Oh! Ah? It's nothing. Your grandmother choked on her porridge. I was so anxious that I couldn't stop drinking the tea..."

The three sons admired their father for talking nonsense seriously...

Seeing her grandmother's face flushed from coughing, Song Qianning asked with concern: "Grandma, are you okay?"

The old lady, who had caught her breath, waved her hands and said, "It's okay. I choked because I was careless. Let's continue with our meal!"

Everyone was eating quietly, but everyone's heart was in turmoil. Hiding letters from an enemy country was a capital crime punishable by the execution of the entire family!

[Grandma has been so unlucky lately. Not only has she been sick from anger, but she has also been choking when drinking water or eating. It’s like she’s seen a ghost…]

This ghost is you, right? ? ? Everyone present tacitly agreed with the same view...

[In my father's study and storeroom, there are a bunch of letters of treason, and there is also a piece of evidence of conspiracy to rebel that is hidden the most secretly. My father is stupid, and he never carefully checks the things sent by outsiders. Many forces want to destroy the mansion. Especially on my grandmother's birthday, my father's half brother accepted the money from the King of Huai and gave my grandmother a white jade Guanyin, which contained the forged evidence of conspiracy to rebel.]

In addition to Song Qianning and Song Qianyu, who knew nothing about this breakfast, one of them ate with a satisfied look on his face, and the other ate with oil dripping from his mouth...

Only a few people who were left felt uncomfortable and had chills on their backs. After the girls left, Song Boyan, his three sons, the old lady, and Jiang gathered in the study...

"My Lord, if what Ning'er said is true, then... then it will be a catastrophic disaster for our mansion!!"

"May the Song family ancestors bless us. If we had been kept in the dark, we would have had no idea the disaster was about to happen." The old lady clasped her hands together in fear.

"Father, we can't just sit there and wait for death..."

"Brother is right. In the past, we were in the open while the enemy was in the dark. If the enemy suddenly attacked, we would have no bargaining power. Now we are in the dark, so we have to make preparations early."

"Second brother, the most important thing now is to find everything. As long as we don't have these so-called evidences, no matter how they target the Marquis' Mansion, we can get through it safely..."

"What Yi'er said makes sense. Chengyan, you and I will search the study together. Zhou'er, you and Yi'er will go to the storeroom. Mother, Madam, the two of you will go find the Jade Guanyin... Be careful, don't alert the enemy..."

Song Boyan gave the order calmly, and the others stopped talking and began to search carefully. The old lady and Jiang found the Guanyin statue in the storeroom, and just in case, they asked a few maids to search it carefully again.

"Please forgive me, Buddha. I have no intention of blasphemy. It is really related to the safety of my mansion, so I have no choice but to do this. If there is any retribution, please let it be on me!"

The old lady clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and muttered to herself. When she opened her eyes again, she was clear-headed. She picked up the Jade Guanyin and held it high above her head. When she was about to smash it down, Jiang stopped her.

"Mother, let me come!"

"I have lived for so long, it is enough. You are different. Everything in the mansion will depend on you in the future. Please get out of the way..."

After the old lady finished speaking, she pushed Jiang away and smashed down hard. The Jade Guanyin shattered instantly, and the token inside also revealed its true appearance.

Jiang quickly picked it up and handed it to her mother-in-law. The old lady opened the rope and found the palace's defense map, the correspondence and conspiracy, and the detailed assassination plan...

The two of them felt cold under their feet. If they were not the protagonists of the incident, anyone would think that the Zhenbei Marquisate had evil intentions based on these evidences. If the emperor saw them, it would not be too much to punish all nine clans...

"Mother, let's go find the Marquis right now. I don't know what their situation is now."

"Let's go check it out first!"

The old lady clasped her hands together again and prayed: "Song family ancestors, may our Song family be blessed and turn this misfortune into good fortune..."
