As soon as Song Wanyin returned home, she heard the sound of wind. As soon as her sister-in-law left the bedroom, Xu Qianqian slipped into the room and tried to climb into the bed.

She frowned, knowing the seriousness of the situation, and decided to teach this ignorant Xu Qianqian a lesson herself.

"Sweet Orange, Peach, let her go first and make her kneel down and answer."

Tiancheng and Mitao then let go of Xu Qianqian and took the socks out of her mouth.

Xu Qianqian was so frightened that her face turned pale. She gasped for breath and looked so pitiful as she knelt there and cried silently.

Song Wanyin asked coldly:

"Xu Qianqian, do you admit your guilt?"

Xu Qianqian looked at Song Wanfeng tremblingly, her bright black eyes rolling around as she pleaded bitterly:

"Sir, please save me. I really like you. I beg you to accept me."

Song Wanfeng was completely sober, and sat at the table dressed neatly, with anger still on his face, and scolded:

"Shut up! If you dare to say such outrageous words again, I will tie you up and send you out of the city overnight."

When Xu Qianqian heard this, she was so scared that she shut up immediately. She turned to look at Song Wanyin with tears in her eyes and kowtowed repeatedly:

"Please spare my life, my lady. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have dreamed of getting your mercy. I beg you to say a few good words for me.

If you are unwilling to accept me, I will die."

Song Wanyin pondered for a moment and spoke calmly:

"It seems like you have something to hide, why don't you tell the truth?

Do you know how sinful bed climbing is?

If we investigate further, not only you but also your family will be implicated.

By then, you will become the eternal sinner of your family."

Xu Qianqian was frightened by her words. Her face turned pale and she bit her lower lip. She was confused and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

She now felt like she was being forced onto the execution ground, unable to back down and in a dilemma.

Song Wanyin saw that she had something to hide, and guided her step by step:

"Xu Qianqian, although you are the concubine's daughter of Aunt Shen, in terms of status and position, if the Song family wants to punish you, even Aunt Shen can't protect you."

Xu Qianqian was completely defeated and burst into tears.

"County Lady, I was just confused for a moment. I was blinded by love and thought that I could become your woman through this means..."

Song Wanyin shouted angrily, interrupting her:

"That's enough. You are blaspheming love. Your despicable behavior will not only hurt the feelings of my eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law, but will also put you in an irretrievable situation. Are you still unwilling to tell the truth?"

Seeing that she kept her mouth shut, Song Wanfeng had already lost his patience and shouted to the door:

"Somebody come!"

Soon, two servants came hurriedly, both looking sleepy.

Song Wanfeng said sternly:

"Send this bitch out of the city tonight, send someone to guard her day and night, and don't let her return to the capital."

Xu Qianqian's face turned pale when she heard this. Seeing that the servants were about to take action, she rammed her head against the corner of the table in panic and fainted on the spot with blood all over her face.

When Song Wanfeng saw this, his face suddenly changed. He didn't expect that she was threatening to die.

Once someone dies in the mansion, Aunt Shen will definitely take the opportunity to make a big fuss. Given her temper, the news will spread throughout the entire Shangjing City within half a day, damaging the reputation of the Taiwei Mansion.

"Quick, go get a doctor to check on her. You must save her life."

The servants immediately agreed and hurried to find a doctor.

Song Wanfeng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. If he had been more like before, he would have dealt with Xu Qianqian long ago. He subconsciously looked at Song Wanyin and asked:

"Sister, how do you think we should handle this matter?

The truth will come out sooner or later. Aunt Shen will definitely come after me for this matter.

It's not that I'm afraid of her. Even if she claims to be insane, what she says cannot be taken seriously.

What I'm afraid of is that she will use this as an excuse to keep harassing us, spreading rumors and causing trouble outside, causing unrest in the house, and then implicate your sister-in-law.

I owe your sister-in-law so much in my life. If I make her cry all day, am I still a man?"

After saying that, he pounded the table hard. The teapot and teacup on the table shook and the tea spilled out.

Song Wanyin knew that Aunt Shen was indeed a hot potato, so she said calmly:

"Brother, please be patient, I have a clever plan.

The most urgent task is to heal Xu Qianqian's injuries first, and then pretend to promise her that she will be safe for a period of time.

As for my sister-in-law, I will go and comfort her.

If it was really Aunt Shen who was behind this, she would definitely not let it go and would continue to cause trouble.

The only way to completely remove this thorn in the flesh is to persuade Xu Qianqian to defect."

Song Wanfeng saw that this was indeed a brilliant plan, using courtesy before force, and sincerely admired:

"Sister, you are a smart little girl, let's do this first.

I finally understand that no matter how difficult Aunt Shen is, she has met her nemesis, and that is you.

You are the only one in this mansion who can control her."

The next day, on a sunny afternoon, Song Wanyin, wearing a simple long dress, sat on the second floor of the most elegant teahouse in the capital to meet Xiao Jingheng.

Tiancheng was skillfully brewing a pot of the best Longjing tea and was in a very good mood.

Because every time his master is with the Grand Tutor, he will show a long-lost smile. Perhaps only the Grand Tutor can make the master happy.

Soon, Xiao Jingheng, wearing a dark brocade robe and with an elegant temperament, walked in, with joy in his eyes:

"Junior sister, why did you think of inviting me to have tea?"

When Song Wanyin saw him coming, she quickly stood up to greet him and said with a smile:

"Brother, I suddenly asked you to come and meet me. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

Jing Mo couldn't help but mutter:

"My Lord was on his way to do some work, but he temporarily turned it down and rushed here without stopping."

Xiao Jingheng turned around and glared at him. Jing Mo was so scared that he immediately shut up, lowered his head and dared not say anything more.

"Junior sister, don't listen to Jing Mo's nonsense, I just don't want to make a wasted trip because that matter cannot be completed for the time being.

By the way, why did you come to me in such a hurry? "

Song Wanyin handed him one of the brewed teas and said with a smile:

"Brother, I have two nephews. They are very smart and clever. They are three years old this year, which is the right age for enlightenment.

But they lacked a knowledgeable gentleman to teach them how to read and write.

I know you have a lot of connections in this area and hope I can find a suitable gentleman for them.

If my two nephews are successful in their studies in the future, I will always remember this kindness."

Xiao Jingheng nodded, thought about it carefully, and said:

"Junior sister's worries are not without reason. The three-year-old enlightenment stage really cannot be taken lightly.

I just happen to have a suitable candidate, and he is a mentor and friend to me. His name is Ning Zhaohua.

He was a scholar who was well-read in poetry and literature. He had taught in the Imperial College for many years and had rich teaching experience. He even taught a top scholar.

He is upright, virtuous, righteous, brave and resourceful, and his students respect and love him very much."

Song Wanyin heard this and said gratefully:

"That's great. The person recommended by Senior Brother will definitely not be wrong. I can trust him.

I wonder where Mr. Ning is now? I want to visit him in person."

Xiao Jingheng's eyes darkened, and he said with difficulty:

"However, a few years ago, because his wife was seriously ill, he took care of her all the time. He had long hidden his achievements and fame, and had not taught for a long time.

During this period, many dignitaries offered him high salaries to hire him, but none of them succeeded.

He is a good person in every way except that he has a stubborn temper and likes to stick to his own opinions.

Once you make up your mind, even ten oxen can't pull you back.

But don't worry, if I go and invite him in person, he will definitely give me some face.

You go back and wait, I will take him there in a while, so that he can meet your two little nephews."

He was determined that as long as his junior sister asked him to do so, he would do it no matter how hard it took.
