After being reborn with my scumbag ex-husband, I became his sister-in-law.

At this moment, He Jingyan was sitting in the flower hall, drinking tea with the eldest uncle of the Song family.

But Old Madam Song mysteriously pulled her into her room, her eyes darting around, and whispered in Song Xizhi's ear:

"How is your relationship with the Crown Prince?"

"You've already slept with him, and now he doesn't care about you at all, doesn't he have any feelings for you anymore?"

Madam Song looked very anxious. Song Xizhi knew her materialistic and snobbish nature, so he originally didn't intend to pay her any attention.

But to everyone's surprise, she clung tightly to Song Xizhi's arm, refusing to let go, and then gave him a little finger:

"If the Crown Prince has even the slightest affection for you, you must cling to him tightly, for that is the only way to have a bright future!"

Seeing Song Xizhi's appearance, Old Madam Song hurriedly whispered, "Don't you know? I heard it from the people in the small Buddhist hall of the Song family."

"That day, the Crown Prince rode a large horse all by himself and barged into the Buddhist hall. He was all alone!"

Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi was slightly taken aback, and Pei Yunyi's face inevitably appeared before his eyes.

"No one in the small Buddhist hall knew his identity. All the servants rushed up and fought against more than a dozen people by himself, but he held your mother's memorial tablet tightly in his arms and did not let go."

Song Xizhi suddenly remembered that day when he was sitting on a tall horse, carrying his mother's memorial tablet on his back, and he bent down slightly and reached out his hand to her from the horse's back.

Seeing that she remained silent, Old Madam Song assumed she hadn't listened, so she clicked her tongue again and continued speaking to her:

"The servants of the Song family were carrying thick sticks and tried to ambush him from behind, but what did he do? He took several blows while protecting your mother's memorial tablet and that piece of dead wood!"

"In the past, the Song family didn't know that he was the Crown Prince, so they didn't take it seriously. But a few days ago, when they learned about what happened in the Capital Prefecture, they were terrified and rushed to ask me how things were going."

"They're all busy protecting your mother's coffin, burning incense every day, and they're all clinging to me!"

Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi felt saddened.

She hadn't expected that Pei Yunyi would not only use this method to reclaim her mother's memorial tablet, but also to protect her mother's coffin well after he passed away, offering incense five times a day.

As Song Xizhi was thinking, Old Madam Song shook her arm anxiously again: "Hey! You brat! Did you even listen to me?!"

"Aren't you good at using medicine? Hurry up and hook up with him, get pregnant with a dragon's child, then you won't have to worry about him leaving you."

Song Xizhi frowned slightly, about to speak, when he heard a noise at the door.

It turned out that He Jingyan and Uncle Song had finished their conversation in the flower hall and were now walking towards Madam Song's room.

He Jingyan, carrying the prepared gifts, still wore a gentle smile. Upon seeing Old Madam Song, he greeted her with a bright smile, "Grandmother..."

Old Madam Song had just finished recounting the bad things, and now, upon hearing the word "Grandmother," she shuddered. When she came to her senses, she gave He Jingyan a disdainful sneer.

"Who are you? You startled me out of nowhere!"

He Jingyan placed the gifts in the servant's hands, then squatted down in front of Old Madam Song, looking up at her with a smile: "That was my fault, please forgive me, Grandmother!"

Old Madam Song rolled her eyes, not wanting to look at him at all: "What grandson-in-law? I don't know you! Go away, I've never seen you before!"

Everyone in the courtyard felt that Old Madam Song was going a bit too far. Seeing this, Song Xizhi was about to say something, but He Jingyan still smiled and coaxed her a few times:

"Yes, I was wrong in the past. I will come to visit our ancestors often in the future."

The eldest uncle of the Song family and He Jingyan were chatting very congenially, and seeing this, he hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

After the group left, Uncle Song hurriedly spoke up: "General He, please forgive me! My old lady is getting a little senile. She's always been unreasonable and doesn't let things go."

“You are a good person. The Song family wronged Zhizhi in the past and caused such a mess with her, but you still care about us and are willing to come back to see us.”

"Time will tell, and the old lady will understand later."

He Jingyan still smiled gently. He held Song Xizhi's hand and shook his head again: "Grandmother is lovely. I didn't take her words to heart."

Listening to his words and looking at his smiling face, Song Xizhi suddenly felt:

This man really has a good temper, just like everyone says, he is truly gentle and refined.

He seemed to never get angry, and he was tolerant of everyone.

After bidding farewell to Song's eldest uncle and leaving the Song family's old residence, the two went directly back to the Marquis's mansion.

When the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Marquis's residence, Song Xizhi discovered that the entrance was packed with people, looking extremely lively.

Song Xizhi was taken aback at first, but it was Sanqi beside him who reminded him that Song Xizhi realized that today was the day, and the Huang clan members had all come because the Marquis of Anding wanted to divorce his wife.

He wanted to divorce Huang Jiaxian.

As soon as Song Xizhi and He Jingyan stepped into the Marquis's residence, a servant was already waiting for them, inviting them to go to the reception hall.

Song Xizhi followed the servant to the flower hall. Before even stepping through the door, he could feel the tense atmosphere inside.

The Huang family disagreed with the Marquis of Anding's decision to divorce Huang Jiaxian.

The patriarch of the Huang clan was a fourth-rank official in the Court of State Ceremonial, responsible for managing court assemblies, guests, auspicious and inauspicious ceremonies, as well as external receptions and funeral rites.

They were also responsible for managing the affairs of temples, Taoist temples, and monks throughout the land.

After the death of the Marquis of Anding's first wife, who was also He Jingyan's birth mother, the Marquis of Anding married Lady Huang as his second wife.

The two had always treated each other with respect. Marquis An Ding valued matters in the military camp and was quite tolerant of Huang Jiaxian's behavior in his backyard, so they had always lived in peace.

Not to mention that Huang Jiaxian gave birth to a son, He Yunce, after marrying into the family.

Previously, the Marquis of Anding had married Huang Suyi, a distant cousin from a collateral branch, as his concubine. The Huang clan was naturally very happy about this. However, if the Marquis of Anding were to divorce Huang Suyi for her sake, no one would agree to it.

The flower hall was in a noisy mess at the moment, with many middle-aged men dressed in black robes, their faces gloomy, and not saying a word.

Then an elderly woman with gray hair slowly stood up from the main seat, holding a cane in one hand.

Her aged voice sounded like a warning, and her cloudy eyes revealed her dissatisfaction with the Marquis of Anding: "I will never agree to this matter. If you really want to, then please come to see me before the Emperor!"
