Song Tingye calmed himself down and took Anger to pay his respects to his grandparents, father and mother.

Fang held the teacup in her hand. After the two of them finished their greetings, she placed the cup heavily on the tea table beside her. "Tell me, what's going on?"

Since Fang didn't mention any names, Song Tingye assumed his mother was referring to him. An Ge'er also assumed his mother was referring to him, so without waiting for his brother to speak, he knelt down and said, "Mother, I haven't been fighting in the academy lately, nor have I beaten up those hooligans on the street. Lately, I've been busy running a tabloid with a few close friends in the house my grandmother gave me. We've been very well behaved. If you don't believe me, ask my brother."

Then he looked at Song Tingye and said, "Brother, can you tell me this? Am I running a tabloid with my friends?"

Song Tingye nodded, and then when An Ge'er finished speaking, he also stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Grandfather and grandmother, father and mother! Tingye is unfilial and has made you angry."

It was Fang who spoke again, this time to Song Tingye, "You still know you're unfilial. Tell me, what have you done?"

After Fang finished speaking, Old Madam Song also spoke, "Tingye, Wan'er came back and told me today, but I still didn't believe it. Can you tell me what's going on? Is what she said true?"

Seeing his mother and grandmother questioning his eldest brother one after another, An Ge'er finally realized that it was not him who was going to be tried in court, but his always steady and self-controlled eldest brother. He was no longer afraid. He stood up, patted the dust off his knees, and said to Song Tingye: "Brother, what did you do wrong? Tell me quickly, I will plead for you."

Song Tingye glanced at him, then looked towards the hall. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he did not hide it anymore and confessed directly: "Grandmother, mother, and sister are telling the truth.

I've been in love with Sisi for a long time. I'd been waiting for her to grow up, but a few days ago, my grandson couldn't hold back and confessed his love for her. Sisi was touched by his sincerity, but didn't want to leave home too early, so he promised her that he would marry her in four years, when she turned 18.

I also ask my grandparents, my father and mother to support me." After saying this, he kowtowed solemnly.

After he finished speaking, no one in the hall spoke or moved. After a long while, Fang finally said, "You and Sisi have only spoken a few times, so how come you are attracted to her? Although Sisi is not bad, she is far from our family background. I also found the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites for you. I heard that girl is not bad either..."

Song Tingye raised his head and interrupted his mother, saying word by word: "No matter how good others are, they have nothing to do with me. As for family background, it is not within my consideration. I have made up my mind since the first time I saw Sisi that I will marry her in the future. I hope you will agree." After saying that, he kowtowed again.

Seeing that he had confessed everything, everyone stopped pretending. General Song moved his body and said, "Oh, I'm so tired. Grandson, get up quickly! This is a good job!"

Old Madam Song also stretched her arms and legs, and said to her daughter-in-law with a smile, "Well! Wan'er's trick is still the best! Look, she confessed everything."

Fang couldn't help laughing, "You know what, this trick really works!"

Their laughter made Song Tingye dumbfounded. Wasn't there a trial just now? Why were they talking and laughing now?

Song Zhao didn't sit down anymore. He stood up, walked over to his eldest son and pulled him up. "Son, good job! You have the demeanor of your father!"

An Ge'er jumped up and shook his elder brother, "Brother! How can you like Sister Sisi? She's my sister!"

Song Tingye finally reacted and pushed his brother away, "What's wrong with liking her? She's not your biological sister, I am!"

After hearing what her grandson said, Old Lady Song agreed, "That's right, you said you should tell your family earlier! I already liked Sisi, and now it's even better. Daughter-in-law, get ready, we'll propose marriage tomorrow. Oh, why didn't I think of Tingye and Sisi back then?"

Fang was drinking tea at the moment. She had been acting for so long that she was extremely thirsty. She raised her hand when she heard her mother-in-law's words. After finally swallowing the tea, she said, "I thought of it a while ago. On the day of Sisi's gold hairpin ceremony, I even joked with Xiuying and asked her to give Sisi to me."

As soon as she said this, the old lady also remembered it. "That's right. I thought you were joking at the time, but it turned out to be true. You must have good taste!"

Fang's heart was now troubled, and she felt relieved. She complained, "Isn't Tingye looking at anyone? It's made me want to ask whoever has a beautiful daughter these past few years. I was also worried about Sisi's time, worried that Sisi would dislike our Tingye's age. Later, Xiuying changed the subject, and I didn't mention it again. I was thinking of asking her privately after Tingye's coming-of-age ceremony. Unexpectedly, this kid was so quick and took care of it himself! Oh, that's great! To be honest, I picked a date this afternoon. The next day off is a good day. How about we go that day?"

Madam Song: "I think it's okay! I'll listen to you."

When Song Tingye heard that even the date had been discussed, he quickly stopped her and said, "Let's take a long-term view on this matter. Aunt and uncle love Sisi very much and won't settle on her so early. If we bring it up now, I'm worried that my uncle will be furious."

As soon as he said this, the lively atmosphere immediately quieted down. Old Madam Song looked at her daughter-in-law and asked, "What should we do? How about you go and find out the truth in private?"

Fang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, Song Zhao remembered something and laughed, "It's okay. If he wants to get angry, I have a plan."

Seeing that her husband was so confident, Fang couldn't help but feel curious, "Tell me quickly, what is the plan?"

Song Zhao scratched his head, "Is it okay if I don't tell you?"

"No, tell me quickly!" It was the old lady who spoke, and her curiosity was also aroused.

Song Zhao looked at his wife and said, "Let me make it clear first. I said you are not allowed to do anything."

Fang: "Okay, I won't do it. You can talk."

"Do you remember when you asked me for the jade pendant?"

"Yes, I remember. Brother Ye gave you the jade pendant when you were little, saying it was for you to guard the border with him, but you just threw it away."

"Well, the jade pendant wasn't lost. I gave it to Sisi. The first time I went to her house, I was in a hurry. I went there as soon as I heard the news about An Ge'er. I didn't bring any gifts with me, only the jade pendant. They found it for our son, so I couldn't just say nothing, so I gave it to Sisi.

I didn't think much about it at the time, but when you asked me for it after we came back, I realized I had given my son's engagement token away. It wasn't easy to ask for it back then, so I told you I lost it."

The old lady slapped her thigh after hearing this. "Oh, there's such a thing! What do you call it? This is called a match made in heaven! It means Sisi is destined to be our granddaughter-in-law!"

Fang couldn't help but smile, "Well! You did a good job on this matter. Then the next step will be much easier."
