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

Song Wenyi looked even more disappointed.

Yes, mother never considered his situation.

The old lady stiffened her neck and said, "Don't try to scare me with this. I know the situation in the court. As long as Wen Yi is willing to resolve the Kang Wen issue, it will definitely be resolved!"

Song Xiwan chuckled.

This is a very clear calculation. It seems that today's shameless performance is just for Dad to see.

"But I remember my second uncle saying when the family split up that he would never rely on my father again in the future."

The old lady said angrily, "Even if brothers are broken, they are still connected by tendons. Wen Yi, are you going to let her sow discord like this?"

Changing the subject, the old lady knew in her heart that Dad was the easiest to control.

Song Xiwan's eyes were cold and gloomy. "Father, last time he was suspected of colluding with Cangguo's spies, and this time it's his gambling addiction. What will it be next time? For the sake of my second uncle, I can't let him go on like this."

When all these scandals were exposed, the old lady's expression changed. She didn't want to argue with this little bastard anymore and stared at Song Wenyi with a cold and stern look.

"I just want to ask you if you can help your brother today!"

Song Wenyi had a serious face, as if he was weighing something.

Song Xiwan clenched her fists, really afraid that her father would be soft-hearted again.

After a moment, Song Wenyi spoke up, "Xiwan is right, Mom. You shouldn't keep making the same mistake again. This isn't about money. It's about him going further and further down the wrong path."

The old lady collapsed on the ground, looking at her always outstanding son with disappointment.

"So you just watched him die? Do you remember what you promised your father before he died?"

When mentioning his father who had passed away long ago, Song Wenyi showed reluctance on his face.

But he still said firmly: "It is precisely because I remember that I can't bear to see him so confused. If mother is willing, I will go and arrest Kang Wen right now."

Song Wenyi's attitude was very clear: either he would not care, or he would care in prison.

"you……"

The old lady was so angry that she fainted.

Song Wenyi called out urgently, "Call a doctor!"

Song Xiwan was not moved at all. She just felt that the old lady had brought this upon herself by indulging her youngest son into this state.

The yard soon returned to peace.

Xu sighed softly, took Xi Wan's hand and said, "I didn't want you to know these bad things. Don't take your grandmother's words to heart."

Song Xiwan shook her head. "I'm fine, but Dad must be very sad. Why is Grandmother so partial to Second Uncle?"

After two lifetimes, Song Xiwan still couldn't figure this out.

There was even a moment when I suspected that my father was not my grandmother's son, but the similarity between his eyebrows and eyes was obvious.

"Only the crying child gets the candy. Your father has been sensible since he was young."

Xu was able to see a little bit. After being married for so many years, she found that Song Wenyi was a person with a strong sense of responsibility, and he took care of everything on his own.

In contrast, Song Kangwen always calls his mother "Mom" and acts like a spoiled child to the old lady even at his old age.

Song Xiwan lowered her eyes.

That was why the old lady liked Song Lingxi more in her previous life. After all, she didn't even dare to say a few words to the old lady at that time.

Mrs. Xu noticed the change in her daughter's expression, and heartache welled up in her eyes. "You did very well today. At least your father has his daughter to protect him, so he won't be sad."

Song Xiwan's heartstrings were gently touched, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she hugged her mother's arm.

"I will protect you from now on."

Xu was coaxed into smiling broadly, "Okay."

The news of the old lady's illness reached Song Kangwen, who was waiting for this life-saving money, but in the end he got nothing!

And the words sent by his elder brother made him even more angry!

You actually want to put him in jail?

"Bang bang—"

There was a violent knock on the door of the mansion, and the noise frightened Song Kangwen so much that he immediately hid under the bed.

But he was found soon and tied up.

"Sir Song, when will you pay us back the money you owe us? If you keep dragging it out like this, don't blame us for being rude to you."

A sharp knife was placed on Song Kangwen's neck, looking like it could kill him at any time.

Song Kangwen was so frightened that he was shaking. "Don't be impulsive. My eldest brother is the Dali Temple Minister! If you kill me, he won't let you go!"

Song Wenyi's shield was indeed useful. The people in the gambling house didn't want to cause trouble and took back their knives.

"Okay, give me the money."

"I don't have any money now, can you give me more time..."

"Bang!"

The table next to him was suddenly split open, abruptly cutting off Song Kangwen's words and even making his face turn pale.

A strong smell of urine soon filled the air.

The gambling house resident was filled with disdain and contempt, but his words were still harsh. "If you can't pay, I don't care who your big brother is, I'll chop him off!"

Song Kangwen was trembling and couldn't utter a word.

"Found the money!"

At this time, two or three people ran in from outside, holding a few boxes with the word "囍" pasted on the surface.

It was Song Lingxi's dowry and betrothal gift.

Song Kangwen's eyes lit up, he almost forgot about the money!

"There's enough here to pay back what I owe you."

The people in the gambling house knew Song Kangwen's situation and had a general idea of ​​what this was, but what did it have to do with them? As long as it was silver, it would be fine.

He immediately cut the ropes that bound Song Kangwen, and his attitude softened considerably. "Sir Song, if you have money, just tell us earlier. We don't need to use knives. Come to our gambling house again when you have time."

"Good good."

Song Kangwen quickly agreed, just wanting to send them away quickly.

Just as the people from the gambling house moved the boxes out, Song Lingxi and Meng came back. They were stunned when they saw the scene.

Song Lingxi had a bad feeling in her heart and hurried forward to stop them, "Are you going to take my dowry and betrothal gifts?"

However, the people in the gambling house all had knives in their hands and looked ferocious.

"It's only right and proper to pay off debts."

"No, that's my dowry and betrothal gift!"

Song Lingxi cried and shouted, asking someone to take it back.

"Snapped--"

As a result, Song Kangwen slapped her in the face and cursed her fiercely, "Do you want to see your father beaten to death?"

Song Lingxi covered her cheek with her hands, her expression dull.

Dad actually hit her!

Mrs. Meng hadn't expected things to develop to this point. She asked coldly, "What are you doing? You used all your dowry and betrothal gifts to pay off your gambling debts. What will happen to Lingxi?"

She had clearly hidden all these things!

I just went out to look at Lingxi's wedding dress today, and when I came back I felt like the sky was falling. How dare such a coward Song Kangwen do that?

"Then what do you want me to do? If I die, you orphans and widows will be happy, right?"

Song Kangwen was not humble at all, and glared at him with bloodshot eyes and shouted.

The people in the gambling house had no interest in watching the excitement and carried the boxes away.

Song Lingxi felt weak all over and fell to the ground.

The wedding day is less than half a month away. Without a dowry, she will become a laughing stock in the entire Shangjing City.

Meng's heart was also desolate, and she couldn't find a single word to comfort Lingxi.

Song Kangwen paused for a moment before feeling a little guilty and offering them some advice, "Don't my elder brother and sister-in-law treat you like their own daughter? Could it be that they would actually let you marry in such a shabby way?"
