Reborn, meet you again!

Yun Zheng felt relieved when he saw Nichang was so aware of the situation.

Although his father had already prepared to let Nichang die as a scapegoat when he promised Song Yan.

But Song Yi came too quickly, and he only had time to tell her the arrangements roughly. He was really worried that she would be afraid of death and something would go wrong.

As for the so-called beloved ones, many people were beaten to death in Prince Huai's palace for stealing.

Even if Song Yi wanted to investigate, they could do it without any leaks.

Thinking of this, Yun Zheng couldn't help but look at Nishang and snorted coldly.

"My Huaiwang Mansion has strict rules. Stealing items from the mansion is a crime, but it's not punishable by death. He refused to confess after being caught and even tried to hurt people. He suffered the consequences. How can you blame my Huaiwang Mansion?"

"But you, ever since you've been serving Wan'er closely, she hasn't treated you harshly, yet you harbor murderous intentions towards her. With such evil ambitions, how can you be considered a human being?"

Nichang listened to the prince's righteous words, received the hint in his eyes, and felt sour in her heart.

She knew that the prince was asking her to take action.

dead.

Of course she was afraid.

But she also knew that she had no choice but to accept it.

The lives of servants like them are the most humble among these wealthy families. Even their life and death... are not in their own hands.

Thinking of this, Nichang sneered again, and a hint of determination suddenly flashed across her eyes.

"Whatever you say."

"The truth has already been revealed, and I never thought I could survive in this world."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it into her heart amid the exclamations of Yun Zheng and the guards.

That position was specifically indicated by the prince just now.

The prince said...

If she is killed in one blow, she won't suffer too much.

Then, she saw her blood gushing out from her chest, blooming into dazzling flowers on the bluestone ground...

When King Huai saw this, he immediately looked frightened and said to the guards who were escorting Nishang up.

"How dare you commit suicide? How could you do that? You didn't even notice she was carrying a dagger."

The guards only said that they were in a hurry to arrest people today and did not have time to search them.

King Huai just pretended to scold them a few words, then asked them to drag the man away, and turned to look at Song Yi again.

"Brother Song, I'm truly sorry. Prince Huai's mansion was in chaos today, and these servants lost their sense of proportion."

"But now that this person is dead, I have finally given Brother Song an explanation..."

When Song Yi saw the scene in front of him, his pupils shrank sharply.

"The prince and the prince... what a clever trick!"

Search someone before arresting them. This is such a simple truth that even the security guards of ordinary wealthy families know it.

How could the guards of Prince Huai's mansion not know this?

They wanted to suppress this matter right away and not allow anyone to take advantage of it.

Looking at the bloodstains left on the ground after Nichang was dragged away, Song Yi felt a chill in his heart.

Prince Huai's palace treats human life as worthless.

What kind of family did he let Wan'er marry into back then...

King Huai naturally knew that this trick could not fool Song Yi.

But...so what?

Now that the person is dead and all is lost, he has both human and material evidence. Even if he doesn't believe it, he has to admit it.

Thinking of this, King Huai sat back on his chair.

"Brother Song, why do you say that? This maid committed suicide out of fear of punishment. This prince never expected it."

"But it's already late today, and Wan'er hasn't woken up yet. If Brother Song has nothing else to do, why don't you come visit her tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Song Yi withdrew his gaze from the pool of blood.

The reason he came here today, besides wanting to see if he could find a breakthrough with Song Yan, was for another reason.

Wan'er asked him to do something for her.

"There's no need to visit. I want to take Wan'er back to the Prime Minister's Residence!"

Hearing this, Yun Zheng frowned and reacted first.

"Father-in-law, what do you mean? Wan'er is my legitimate wife, and now she has been poisoned and injured. She should stay in the mansion to recuperate."

"How could I let her out of my sight at this critical moment?"

Song Yi, however, looked at Yun Zheng with a hint of sarcasm.

"Rest?"

"My daughter has suffered immensely since marrying into your evil palace. First, she was kidnapped by rebels, then you shot her through the heart with an arrow, sending her flying off a cliff and leaving her with a heart attack..."

"Now that she has finally escaped death and returned to the capital, not only did you fail to take good care of her, but you also allowed her to get into trouble again and again in Prince Huai's mansion."

"If I remember correctly, it should have only been two months since she fainted in Zuixianlou!"

"Is this what the prince meant by rest?"

"Your servant girl in Prince Huai's mansion could easily poison her, how can I allow her to stay here any longer?"

"Since you can't protect her, then I, Song Yi's own daughter, will protect her myself!"

Yun Zheng's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He couldn't refute Song Yi's accusation...

but……

Wan'er finally returned to his side, how could he allow her to leave...

Thinking of this, Yun Zheng's attitude suddenly became somewhat tough and he looked at Song Yi.

"Father-in-law, I know you care about Wan'er."

"But since she married into Prince Huai's Mansion, she belongs to my Mansion. No matter what happens, I am her husband."

"The principle of obeying your father at home and your husband after marriage is so simple. My father-in-law is so knowledgeable that he should understand it."

"I know that Wan'er's accident was my negligence, but I promise... this is the last time. From now on, no one will dare to touch her. Please don't force it, father-in-law."

Song Yi just stood up and flicked his sleeves.

"A good example of a woman who obeys her father at home and her husband after marriage!"

"Then, my prince, have you ever heard of another saying? A father treats his son with kindness, a son serves his father with filial piety, a husband treats his wife with righteousness, and a wife serves her husband with obedience... A father who is not kind is not a father, and a husband who is not righteous is not a husband."

"Ask yourself, Yun Zheng. Can your treatment of my daughter truly be considered 'loyal'? If not, how can you even talk about 'obeying your husband'?"

Song Yi paused and continued.

"And, Prince, don't forget, Miss Jiang is not on good terms with your Prince Huai's Mansion. She came to treat Wan'er today because she is the eldest daughter of my Song family."

"Even if she promised to remove the poison from Wan'er, what about the baby in her belly? I can ask Miss Jiang to come to my house often to help Wan'er with her pregnancy. Can you...?"

"Her pregnancy is very dangerous. Do you really trust her to be entrusted to the care of your palace physician or Imperial Physician Li?"

Yun Zheng listened to Song Yi's righteous words, his lips moved, and he looked at King Huai again. He wanted to object, but in the end he did not say anything.

Doctor Li said this today.

He really had no way to save Wan'er's baby.

And besides what Song Yi said.

He suddenly thought of a very important point.

Although his father had promised him three days, it was indeed safest for Wan'er to return to the Prime Minister's Residence before he could come up with a solution and settle everything...

Thinking of this, Yun Zheng suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Why...

He was always unable to protect the people he cared about.

perhaps.

My father is right.

Only by holding absolute power in your hands can you truly protect everything you want...

Otherwise, how could Song Yan alone easily threaten him?

Thinking of this, Yun Zheng clenched his fists and looked up at Song Yi.

"Okay, I agree to let her return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but... not today. She is still unconscious, and I have to wait for her to wake up..."

"If she is willing, I will send someone to inform my father-in-law."

Seeing that Yun Zheng had given in, Song Yi didn't insist anymore.

Although Wan'er wanted to save Miss Jiang who had returned to this den of tigers and wolves for her.

But in his opinion, after what happened today, she still would not be willing to leave Prince Huai's Mansion.

No one can save her.
