The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Song Xiwan had just returned to the Song Mansion when she found her father and mother pacing around anxiously.

As soon as he saw her, he hurried forward and asked, "Xi Wan, did the emperor say anything?"

Song Xiwan noticed the worry on their faces and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"He was just concerned about my injury. Also, I won first place in the autumn hunt, so I asked the emperor for a reward. Soon I will be studying at Yunhe Academy like my elder brother."

Song Xiwan did not mention the emperor's desire to grant the marriage so as not to worry them.

Song Wenyi and Xu were stunned.

Why do you suddenly want to study at Yunhe Academy?

Song Wenyi asked thoughtfully, "Why does Xiwan want to study at Yunhe Academy?"

Ruoxi Wan forced herself to go to school because she was concerned about the outside voices, but that was unnecessary.

Xu said seriously, "If you don't want to go, there's no need to force yourself. Don't worry about what others say."

"I want to pass the imperial examination like my elder brother did."

Song Xiwan shook his head, his face full of determination.

Song Wenyi's eyes widened again in shock.

Do you need to take the exam for female officials?

There is no female official in the entire Daxia Kingdom. After all, this path is too difficult.

Song Xiwan raised an eyebrow and continued, "And be a smart and capable official like my father."

"Cough cough..."

Song Wenyi straightened his back instantly, unable to hide the smile on his face, "That won't do. Xi Wan will definitely surpass me."

Xu couldn't help laughing at the compliments from the father and daughter.

As long as Xiwan likes it, there is no problem.

"Madam!"

At this moment, Chunxiu ran in hurriedly, attracting the three of them to look over.

Xu rarely saw Chunxiu so anxious, so she asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Chunxiu quickly replied, "The old lady forced the storeroom to be opened, and she said that if anyone dared to stop her, she would bang her head against a pillar and die."

"what?"

The veins on Song Wenyi's forehead were throbbing, and he walked towards the warehouse with a gloomy face.

Xu hurriedly caught up, still trying to comfort him, "Don't be angry, Mom was just confused for a moment, talk to her properly."

If anything happened to the old lady, Song Wenyi would probably be criticized.

Song Wenyi was furious, "My second brother was spoiled by her, and now he has even thrown away his reputation for him!"

Song Xiwan looked surprised. What happened that she didn't know about?

She pulled Chunxiu aside and asked, and got the answer.

After Song Kangwen split up the family business, he became ambitious and spent his days in debauchery with his colleagues, spending money like water.

My father originally gave me a lot of money, but he spent almost all of it and even took away all the old lady's savings.

The old lady also secretly asked my father for a lot of money, saying it was for medical treatment.

Chunxiu grew angrier as she spoke. "What happened? When the master's men were investigating the gambling den, they saw the second master. When they arrested him and questioned him, they found out that he was addicted to gambling."

Song Xiwan was shocked, "Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Chunxiu was helpless. "The eldest girl was recovering from her injuries a while ago. The master and the mistress wanted to keep these unpleasant things from you, but who knew that the old lady would go crazy and try to pry open the lock of the warehouse. I heard that the second master's people came quietly again just now."

You don't need to ask to know what message Ding conveyed, which made the old lady so anxious to do this.

Song Xiwan admired him very much.

The old lady treated this useless guy as her treasure.

She calmed down and walked quickly towards the warehouse.

As they got closer, they heard the old lady wailing angrily, "That's your own brother. Do you want to watch him and me die?"

"If he hadn't resorted to these crooked ways, how could he have ended up in this situation? Besides, I already gave him half of the estate when we split up! It's only been a short time, and he's almost bankrupted!"

Song Wenyi couldn't tell whether he was angry at his brother's incompetence or at his mother's indulgence of Song Kangwen.

The mother he respected the most was now sitting in front of the warehouse like a shrew, crying and scolding him for being heartless.

"If you hadn't insisted on dividing the family, would he have listened to others so easily? And now he's on the verge of death, why are you making things worse?"

Song Wenyi was so angry that his steps became unsteady. If Xu hadn't been there to support him, he would have fallen to the ground.

He pointed at himself in disbelief, "Mom, this is my fault again?"

How many times!

Song Wenyi always remembers his mother's kindness in bringing him up, and always puts filial piety first in everything. But in his mother's heart, he is a sinner who deserves to be put to death!

The old lady turned her face away stubbornly, obviously not thinking it was her problem.

Xu couldn't bear to watch, "Mom, this gambling addiction is a bottomless pit. Even if we put the entire Song Mansion into it, it wouldn't be enough."

"Kang Wen said this is the last time, so please help him, otherwise he will really die."

The old lady softened her attitude and looked pleading.

Song Wenyi and Xu looked unhappy.

In the end, I still don't want to completely tear my face apart. If this is really the last time...

Song Xiwan's eyes turned slightly, and she stepped forward with a faint smile and said, "Grandma, I have a good idea. I can not pay back the money, and I can also protect my second uncle's life."

Everyone was startled.

The old lady's dislike for Song Xiwan had already reached its peak, and now she was even more unconvinced that she would be so kind as to help the second house.

But the last incident made the old lady realize that she couldn't insult this bastard this time, otherwise the eldest son and Xu would not let her go.

The old lady said coldly, "You don't need to worry about the adults' affairs."

"tell me the story."

But Song Wenyi wanted to hear it. His daughter has always been smart and able to distinguish right from wrong. Maybe she really has some good ideas.

The old lady's face froze.

This eldest son's heart is extremely biased and he is not reliable at all!

Song Xiwan curled her lips, "Second Uncle is an official appointed by the imperial court, yet he entered a casino. This is a violation of personal ethics, and he has caused Grandmother to worry so much about him. This is unfilial. Father, as the Minister of Justice, should enforce the law impartially and arrest Second Uncle immediately."

The courtyard fell into dead silence.

No one expected that Song Xiwan's method would be so righteous as to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice!

"You! You black-hearted person actually wanted to capture your second uncle. You want to completely destroy him!"

The old lady could no longer hold back, and her ferocious expression made her wish she could tear Song Xiwan to pieces.

Song Xiwan flexibly hid behind her father, just to let her see the old lady's true face clearly, which was not worth being soft-hearted about.

She also insisted, "Once he's in jail, the people in the gambling den won't be able to do anything to him. With Dad taking care of him, there's no need to worry about anything happening to him. It'll also help him quit his gambling addiction."

"you shut up!"

The old lady scolded and cursed.

If he goes to jail, Kang Wen will lose his official position. How will he survive in the future?

Song Wenyi showed hesitation, as if pondering the feasibility of this matter, and said in a deep voice: "Mom, Xiwan is also doing this for the good of my second brother, why are you angry at her?"

Song Xiwan struck while the iron was hot, "My father holds an official position. If I help my second uncle in private, it would be considered as knowing the truth and not reporting it. If something happens to him in the future, it will implicate my father. Grandmother, have you not considered this?"
