Song Yuanbai looked at Song Yao in disbelief, "How do you know this?"

"I just heard it from the prince by chance." Song Yao explained, "This happened because my cousin contradicted the queen, causing the death of her unborn child and accidentally injuring the Grand Empress Dowager. And then there's my sixth uncle, who became a bandit and raped and murdered the Grand Tutor's daughter. The emperor was furious and issued an imperial decree to exile our entire family!"

"what?!"

Song Yuanbo's eyes widened, bloodshot. Because the news was too shocking, Song Yuanbo's hands on the armrest were shaking, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his palms.

Through his own efforts, Song Yuanbai climbed up step by step and became the current Minister of the Central Secretariat.

There is also his elder brother Song Jiaqi. Although he became the Minister of Rites with the help of Song Shu, he has also worked hard over the years and has made contributions to the emperor.

Now his whole family was to be exiled because of Song Shu and Song Shiming. He felt so unwilling in his heart!

Seeing him frozen in place, Song Yao hurriedly said, "Dad, don't think about that for now. Let's go to the main hall. Uncle and the others must have arrived by now."

Song Yuanbo came back to his senses, and Song Yao supported his trembling hand and went to the main hall.

When they arrived at the main hall, all the members of the Song family had already arrived.

Song Jiaqi, the eldest of the Song family, said, "Princess Heng, what exactly did you want to say by having Huaying call all of us here in such a hurry?"

Song Liangji, the elder of the Song family, showed disdain in his eyes, "Princess Heng, have you been bullied? Let us all seek justice for you, shall we?"

Song Liangji's first wife, Shen Xianyi, sneered, "Master, stop joking. She's the Princess of Heng. Who dares to bully her?"

Just as they were performing a duet, the housekeeper Zhou from the mansion came in, supporting Old Master Song, followed by Old Madam Song.

The noisy main hall suddenly became quiet with their arrival.

Mr. Song and Mrs. Song were sitting in the hall.

Old Master Song used to be a third-rank official in the imperial court. He resigned two years ago and is enjoying his retirement at home.

Although he is no longer in the court and is in his eighties, he still has a strong aura!

Old Master Song looked at Song Yao with a dignified gaze, "Qingli, why did you call us here in such a hurry?"

Song Yao nodded slightly, "Grandfather, I heard a piece of news from Prince Heng. The emperor wants to exile our entire family!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the main hall.

Song Wenchuan's legs went weak and he almost fell down.

Song Liangji looked at Song Yao with obvious displeasure in his eyes, "Song Yao, stop exaggerating!"

Shen Xianyi said, "Song Shu is now the Imperial Concubine. Our Song family will all be protected by her. So, even if something happens to our family, Imperial Concubine Shu will save us! What's more, our family is not in trouble, so please don't talk nonsense and threaten us here!"

Song Wenchuan sneered, "Song Yao, I advise you to think twice before speaking!"

Song Yao looked at Shen Xianyi, a subtle coldness flashing across her eyes. "Second Aunt, I've already said it before. Concubine Shu contradicted the Queen, causing the Emperor's unborn son to die, and even accidentally injuring the Grand Empress Dowager. Do you think she can really protect our Song family now?"

Gao Shuyu said, "Song Yao, you haven't been back for such a long time, and now you come back and scare us with these words, are you asking for money from us? Or maybe you have other motives, right?"

Meng Xiangjun said, "Song Yao, our Song family has treated you well. When you married Prince Heng, we gave you a generous dowry. In the past three years, you haven't done anything to benefit our Song family. Now, you say such words to intimidate us. Song Yao, what are you trying to do?"

Song Yao: “…”

She really didn't expect that when she ran back to the Song family and told them about this, no one believed it!

What's even more outrageous is that there are people who actually doubt her intentions!

"Shut up!" Old Madam Song shouted.

After these words were spoken, no one in the main hall dared to speak anymore.

When Old Madam Song saw that they had quieted down, she asked Song Yao, "Qingli, tell Grandmother why you said such a thing?"

Song Yao nodded and repeated what she had said before, then continued, "And there's Sixth Uncle. He became a bandit and killed the Grand Tutor's daughter. The Emperor has learned of this, and the imperial decree of exile will be issued tomorrow. I'm also from the Song family. I have absolutely no reason to deceive or intimidate you!"

Mr. Song's pupils shrank, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "What did you say?!"

The main hall, which had finally quieted down, was now full of people talking at once, and everyone had a very ugly expression on their face.

The original owner's mother, Su Zhen, looked at Song Yao, and when she heard what she said, she showed an incredible expression.

The day before yesterday, she had a dream. She dreamed of Song Yao, who told her that the Song family was going to be confiscated and exiled... Just when she asked why, Song Yao disappeared in front of her.

She never expected that her daughter would say the same thing today?

Was the Song Yao in the dream her daughter, or was she a deity sent down from heaven, transforming into her daughter's appearance to tell her all this?

Could it be that God came to save their entire family because she was a devout believer?

Song Wenchuan walked up to Song Yao anxiously and asked, "If this is true, how come your father and uncle don't know about it?"

Song Yao looked at Song Wenchuan and said calmly, "Fourth Uncle, if my father and the others knew about this in advance, wouldn't he have told you all about it as soon as he returned home? Wouldn't you all have to flee? So, the emperor didn't publicize it because he wanted us, the Song family, to have nowhere to escape and to make us all leave the capital without a single one left!"
