"Mother!"

"Wake up, mother!"

"My son is still waiting for your decision. You can't leave at this critical moment!"

Song Ming's heart-wrenching cry could be heard from far away.

The old lady's soul slowly rose from her body. She hadn't felt so light in a long time.

She left without looking back.

"grandmother!"

"Grandma, wake up!"

The Song Chushi brothers were frightened and called out hurriedly.

But the old lady had lost her pulse and heartbeat, and although her eyes were open, she would never wake up again.

Song Ming felt like his life was falling apart.

I had originally thought that with the power of the old lady's family back then, I could ask her to ask someone for help and plead for mercy. There might be a chance for a turnaround in today's situation.

Who would have thought that my mother would pass away suddenly at this critical moment!

The old man is gone, the title of Earl is gone, and we don’t even know what to do with our son!

Song Ming felt such a headache that his brain was about to burst out.

What sin had he committed that God would punish him like this at this critical moment!

When my father was still alive, the Earl's Mansion was still a marquis, and he was the Junior Secretary of the Chancellery. Wasn't that very glorious?

Taoist Baopuzi, didn’t you say that the Song family has a promising future and is destined to be a great family?

How did it end up like this? ! !

He knelt on the ground, his limbs limp, like a walking corpse.

Seeing the old lady being angered to death, Huang Zhiwang was suddenly a little confused. He quickly sent someone back to the yamen to report to the Shangshu, and he still stayed in the Bo's Mansion.

When Song Chuchu saw this chaotic scene, she knew that the Bo Mansion was finished.

She doesn't want to be a commoner with them, she doesn't want to live such a hard life anymore!

She wanted to go back to the Marquis' Mansion! Yes, the Marquis' Mansion still had dozens of loads of her dowry, enough for her to live comfortably in this life!

She is now extremely grateful that she is married and has a dowry, so her house does not need to be searched!

She still has to wait for the third prince to come!

As long as she finds out the whereabouts of the third prince, she will still become the queen in this life!

She quickly returned to Xuexiangju and cleaned herself up. While the soldiers had only surrounded the Zhengyi Gate, she secretly escaped through the corner gate.

The Dali Temple messenger who was sent to deliver the letter came back soon and whispered a few words in Huang Zhiwang's ear.

Huang Zhiwang ordered his men to disperse the crowd surrounding the old lady's body.

"Everyone from the Song family, please line up!"

Song Ming encountered a sudden change and his soul was gone.

He could only follow Song Chusi, walking forward mechanically like a puppet, and then standing stiffly in the front yard.

Huang Zhiwang looked at everyone sternly and said, "Song Chushi plotted to murder Prince Jin and is sentenced to public beheading. He will be taken to prison immediately!"

Before Song Chushi knew what was happening, the shackles snapped twice and were fastened tightly around his neck.

Li was confused from the moment he came out.

She was unwilling to believe that the Bo Mansion where she had lived for more than 30 years, the Bo Mansion that had long been linked to her destiny, no longer belonged to them!

Even her status as the lady of the earl is going to be lost!

It was not until she heard the announcement that her eldest son was to be beheaded that she seemed to have suddenly lost her last bit of strength. She raised her hands and let out a hoarse cry, as if to stop Song Chushi from being beheaded.

However, he soon ran out of strength, his eyes rolled back and he was about to faint.

Song Chusi grabbed her and said, "Mom! You must not faint at this critical moment, Mom!"

She was suddenly awakened again.

Yes, she doesn't even have the qualifications to faint now!

When the servants saw this, they looked at each other and suddenly burst into a loud scream of "Ah", and a group of people fled in panic.

They ran to the servants' quarters like crazy, packing their bags quickly.

We can’t stay in the Bo Mansion anymore, we must leave quickly!

It is said that he was demoted to a commoner, but in reality, we still don’t know what will happen to him!

The eldest son is about to be beheaded, who knows if I will be implicated in the future?

Even if they are summoned for questioning, they are said to be tortured!

Zhiyi and Aunt Zhao lived in a remote place, so they didn't hear the noise outside and only finished their breakfast at this moment.

Hearing the screams of the servants in the mansion and figures hurriedly running back from the front yard, she hurried out of the house.

Seeing the servants sneaking towards the corner gate, Zhiyi panicked for a moment and quickly ran towards the front yard against the crowd.

As soon as she arrived at the front yard, she saw Song Chushi in shackles, the old lady lying on the ground with her eyes open, the distraught Song Ming, and Li who was almost unconscious!

Her heart was beating fast.

She didn't dare go any further, and could only hear Huang Zhiwang reading out their charges from afar.

Her legs felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, and something in her heart collapsed.

There will be no more uncle's mansion in the future. They will just be ordinary people, and their lives may even be worse than when my aunt was a merchant's daughter!

She was like a headless fly, with wave after wave of fleeing servants running past her, but she didn't know where to go next.

Seeing no alternative, she simply turned around and ran back!

Seeing that the Marquis's residence hadn't resisted, Huang Zhiwang declared with satisfaction that the law still held mercy. "I've just reported the Marquis's situation to my superiors. Considering the contributions the old lady's family had made to Daliang, I've granted the Loyal Marquis's residence special amnesty and will allow them to move out after the funeral of the old lady Song! Everyone in the Song family, why don't you express your gratitude?"

This is the only glimmer of good news today.

Song Ming came back to his senses and knelt down with a plop, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

Li and Song Chusi quickly followed suit and kowtowed.

Huang Zhiwang saw that Song Chushi was already in shackles and waved his hand: "Return to the yamen!"

Song Chushi seemed to have just realized what he was about to face. He immediately held onto the main gate of the Bo Mansion, his feet digging into the ground. "Dad! Mom! I won't leave! I'll stay here with you! I don't want to go to jail, Mom!"

He was breathing heavily and his face was covered with snot and tears.

The officers escorting him laughed. Was he a fool? Why did he take so long to react?

Two police officers held him up, one on each side. The one on the right suddenly spat, "You can't leave just because you want to! Jail is fine, but you're going to be beheaded!"

"Wha, what?!"

The stone statue of Song Chu seemed to have been hit by a hammer and only just woke up.

He shouted in panic: "My lord, it's not me who wants to kill Prince Jin! It's not me, my lord! I am innocent..."

But how could it possibly work?

After a while, he was impatiently dragged away from the mansion by the police.

More and more people gathered at the door to watch the fun.

"What crime did the Song family commit? Why are there so many soldiers and officers here so early in the morning?"

"Didn't you hear what the man at the door said just now? He said he was plotting to murder Prince Jin and that his family would be confiscated! Fortunately, the Marquis' Mansion pleaded for mercy, and they were spared from execution, but they were demoted to commoners!"

"Then why were you talking about holding a funeral again?"

"Oh, that old lady is so angry she's almost died! My Lord, considering the old lady's family's meritorious service, has granted her amnesty and will conduct the confiscation after the funeral!"

"..."

The news that the Song family was plotting to murder the prince spread like wildfire, and within an hour, it was widely spread in the streets and alleys.

Jiang Xing also received the news.

He had just picked a bunch of precious jasmine that he had specially planted, and with the fragrance that permeated his lungs, he quickly went to Jinyuan.

Seeing Jiang Xing coming, Sang Luo and Xiao Kui lowered their heads and smiled at each other.

Jiang Xing consciously put the flowers on the windowsill, stretched out his long legs and jumped in.

"Axuan, something happened at the Bo's Mansion!"

Seeing the trace of anxiety on his brow, Lu Xuan's original intention to question him because of his calling him "A Xuan" disappeared without a trace in an instant.

She sensed something unusual: "What's going on?"

"The Marquis' Mansion must have sent people to monitor the Earl's Mansion. As soon as we left yesterday, the Marquis went to the palace to see the emperor! Early this morning, the Dali Temple brought people to surround the Earl's Mansion, and Song Chushi has been detained!"

Lu Xuan was puzzled: "Why is it only Song Chushi? Now that the Song family is empty, the crime of murdering the royal family will definitely drag in the entire Bo Mansion, right?"

Jiang Xing gave her an admiring look. "This is the cleverness of the Marquis' Mansion! They didn't kill us all, but instead pleaded for mercy as relatives of the Earl's Mansion! This is how it makes sense that the Marquis' Mansion went to His Majesty to speak before I even said anything!"

"Ji Xiangli kept saying in front of the emperor that he was doing this for Song Chuchu and Ji Bozhou. After all, they are his daughters-in-law. If anything happens to the Bo Mansion, he will lose a daughter-in-law!"

Lost a daughter-in-law!

Lu Xuan almost applauded the Ji family. What a good plan! What a good method!

She finally understood why the Queen Mother was so determined to get the truth in her previous life. The Dali Temple investigated for a while, and soon the Third Prince stabbed her to death with a sword.

It turned out that the Marquis' Mansion was crying "stop thief" and wanted to find a scapegoat!

In order to avoid suspicion, the Marquis' Mansion could not kill her, so the Third Prince took action!

But at this critical juncture, if the Marquis' Mansion is to be put on the table, Song Chushi must not die!

Not only can you not die, but you must live well!

Yesterday they had originally planned to throw out bait and threats, let them think it over carefully, and then wait for them to go before the emperor to make their own statements!

But I didn't expect that the Marquis' Mansion would kill them all so quickly!
