The next day, Song Ruozhen heard news about the Bai family while having lunch.

"Madam Bai passed away not long after returning home last night. However, before she died, she left behind a lot of last words, all of which were about her concern that the eldest son of the Bai family had taken away the things of the other two sons."

It is said that the Lü family also rushed over last night, demanding that the Marquis announce this news to the world and correct Bai Zimu's identity.

Song Zhiyu recounted the news he had just heard, "Madam Bai is truly domineering. To be precise, although the eldest son of the Bai family is not her biological son, if she hadn't brought him back back then, she wouldn't have been able to secure her position as the wife of the Marquis."

Now they've even destroyed what they started, and now they've caused his mother's death. The eldest son of the Bai family is truly pitiful.

Song Ruozhen was not surprised at all.

Lu Wenxiu was inherently selfish; he even considered killing Bai Zimu, which shows how intolerant he was of him.

He summoned the Lü family on his deathbed to ensure this, and also to blackmail Bai Hou.

"The eldest son of the Bai family has chosen to leave the Marquis's mansion?" Song Ruozhen asked.

Song Zhiyu nodded, "Sixth sister, you guessed absolutely right!"

It is said that Lü Wenxiu said something extremely offensive on his deathbed, so much so that even the servants in the Marquis's mansion couldn't stand it, but Bai Zimu said nothing.

Only after his death, when the Lü family demanded that Marquis Bai swear an oath in public, did he mention leaving the Marquis's residence and severing ties with it.

"It is said that Bai Hou was originally unwilling, and everyone knows that Bai Zimu is the most promising member of the Bai family now."

Once he leaves the Marquis's mansion, it will be extremely difficult for the remaining two to achieve anything significant.

Upon hearing this, Song Yanzhou said, "It's good that Bai Zimu left. If he stays in the Marquis's mansion, he will not only be burdened with the reputation of being an illegitimate child, but he will also be constantly targeted by his two younger brothers and the Lü family."

Leaving at this time would not only earn him praise from everyone for his integrity, but the emperor would also look at him with new respect.

Song Yanzhou was originally the General of the Eastern Army, and he was favored by the emperor in the court. His judgment was undoubtedly excellent. Bai Zimu was talented and had a promising future.

Now that so many things have happened, he has already been wronged and suffered injustice. Such a talent is the one the Emperor admires most, not to mention that the Prince of Chu personally witnessed this matter.

With the King of Chu's favor, Bai Zimu will not have a hard time even if he leaves the Marquis's mansion.

……

Luo family.

"Qingyin, tell your mother honestly, do you still like Yanzhou?"

Yan Qingyu looked at her daughter, who had been in a daze for several days and had only recovered today.

It was their fault, because Qingyin's illness had been treated by Doctor Yang, and she was taking the prescriptions written by Doctor Yang.

However, her condition did not improve, and Luo Qingyin, who was already thin, became even weaker. Finally, with the thought of giving it a try, Song Ruozhen gave Luo Qingyin the pills.

Unexpectedly, Qingyin woke up quickly after taking the pill, and after drinking some porridge, she felt much better.

A complex emotion flashed in Luo Qingyin's eyes. Facing her mother, she hesitated and did not speak.

She knew all too well how much her mother had been hurt by what had happened before. For the past two years, whenever her marriage was mentioned, her mother would inevitably scold the Song family.

Now that this has happened again, if she brings it up again, her mother will probably be angry with her.

Yan Qingyu guessed her daughter's thoughts from her reaction, thinking about the tonics that the Song family had just sent, which were said to be specially prepared for Qingyin and would be good for her health.

She just asked the doctor, and it is indeed a rare and excellent product. Qingyin's health will definitely improve after taking it, which shows that she really put her heart into it.

The resentment she felt had begun to fade over the past few days...

“If you really like her, then tell your mother honestly. A few days ago when you were unconscious, Yan Zhou also expressed his feelings to me and your father, saying that he wanted to ask for your hand in marriage,” Yan Qingyu said.

Lin Qingyin was startled and almost dropped the cup in her hand.

He said...he wants to marry me?

Yan Qingyu nodded helplessly; her daughter was just too stubborn.

If it were her, no matter what the reason Song Yanzhou couldn't marry her before, she would have to find another suitable husband and would definitely make Song Yanzhou furious.

Unfortunately, his own daughter was deeply in love with him and had waited patiently until now.

"He said he wanted to marry you, and he even stood up in front of me and your father."

The Emperor did not dismiss him from his post. After he recovers, he will still be a fourth-rank General of the Eastern Army. If you still like him, it is not impossible to consider it,” Yan Qingyu said.

A hint of joy unconsciously spread across Luo Qingyin's face, and even her voice became lighter.

"Is Mother no longer angry with Brother Song?"

"What's the point of me being angry with him? My daughter is completely devoted to him. If I keep getting angry, won't I lose my daughter too?"

Yan Qingyu glanced at Luo Qingyin and said, "Look at your temper. I thought you had become much more mature in the past two years, but now you've shown your true colors as soon as this matter is mentioned."

"Mother..." Luo Qingyin was a little embarrassed, but couldn't help being curious, "Didn't you and Father want me to marry Yao Jinsheng? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Yan Qingyu's expression changed slightly. She naturally couldn't tell Luo Qingyin about her infertility, so she said:

"Yao Jinsheng's character is not as good as Song Yanzhou's, and his mother is not someone to be trifled with. If you marry into that family, you will likely be bullied."

Besides, you love Yan Zhou, so even if I forced you to marry him, I doubt you would be happy.

Luo Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help wondering what had happened while she was unconscious. Her mother had always been angry whenever the Song family was mentioned, so why did she suddenly change her attitude?

After seeing Luo Qingyin continue to lie down and rest, Yan Qingyu left the room and bumped into Luo Huaili.

"Huai Li, how's the matter going?"

Yan Qingyu's eyes showed worry. She guessed that after telling the Yao family that she did not intend to arrange the marriage, the Yao family would definitely not let it go.

However, seeing the Yao family start spreading rumors in an attempt to ruin Qingyin, she felt a wave of fear and was glad that she hadn't married into the Yao family.

Otherwise, once Qingyin enters the household, she will likely suffer a lot of injustice.

“Mother, Yao Jinsheng’s leg has been broken and he’s lying in the Yao family’s house right now. The rest of the people don’t dare to spread rumors anymore.”

Luo Huaili's face lit up with joy. "Didn't you assign this matter to me? I haven't even gone there yet, and it's already resolved. Did you send someone else instead?"

"I didn't ask anyone to do it," Yan Qingyu said in surprise.

Luo Huaili was taken aback. "Didn't Mother ask someone to do it?"

He brought his men today specifically to teach Yao Jinsheng a lesson, but before he could even find him, he heard that Yao Jinsheng's leg had been broken and that the guys who were spreading the news were also injured.

"No." Yan Qingyu shook her head.

"Could it be the eldest brother?" Luo Huaili pondered. "The eldest brother has always been very good to the second sister. Perhaps he took action first because he saw that the second sister was being wronged."

"Ask him when your older brother gets back."
