That night, Song Youyu really had a high fever.

Her body was already weak, she soaked in cold water during the day, and was beaten at night, plus she couldn't rest well during this time, so she naturally couldn't stay up, but fortunately, Shi Yanmo and the two maids stayed for a night, and by dawn, the burn finally faded.

Shi Yanmo saw that her fever had subsided, and his heart was a little wider, and Wushuang came over to remind him to change his clothes and prepare for the court.

Shi Yanmo then told Que'er: "Take good care of your young lady." ”

He got up and walked outside, Song Ren'an was still standing in the courtyard, he was not young, he stood for most of the night and looked extremely gloomy, and from time to time he shivered the chill on his shoulders.

Shi Yanmo paused and asked, "He has been standing here last night and hasn't moved?"

Wushuang sneered: "Yes, after all, the reputation of the Song Mansion is at stake, how dare he leave at this time." ”

He said before that if the Hou Ye did not let go, he would send people to Dali Temple.

A little darkness flashed under Shi Yanmo's eyes, and his complexion became more and more condensed in the morning breeze.

The moment he stood up, Song Ren'an found him, hurriedly walked over, and called: "Master Hou." ”

As an official in the same dynasty and his future father-in-law, Shi Yanmo couldn't be regarded as not seeing it, and said lightly: "Lord Song is here." ”

Of course, Song Ren'an knew that he was deliberately drying himself, rubbed his sore arms and legs, and said, "Xiaguan arrived last night, did Master Hou sleep well?"

Shi Yanmo glanced at him, didn't reply, only said: "It's going to be the early court, Lord Song is also ready to leave for the palace together." ”

If Shi Yanmo goes to the court, what will happen to his family?

Song Ren'an secretly complained bitterly, hurriedly blocked the road, changed the topic and asked, "Master Hou, how is my little girl Song Youyu now?"

"Burned all night. Shi Yanmo's expression was neither sad nor joyful, but there was a little anger in his words, "Lord Song, fifty boards are unbearable even for a normal man, what do you say will happen to a weak woman?"

Song Ren'an's face turned a little pale, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "Last night, the official was also so angry that he would be heavy-handed, after all, he couldn't raise his godfather." Yu'er did this, not only losing the face of the Song family, but also losing the Hou Ye's people, and the lower officials also wanted to teach her a lesson. ”

"Fifty boards, it's not a lesson, if we hadn't arrived in time last night, what would have been the consequences? ”

Shi Yanmo walked in front of him, and his voice became colder and colder: "You don't have to say it, since you almost killed someone, and you are suspected of stealing, such an intricate case should be handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation." ”

Song Ren'an sighed: "It was the lax discipline of the subordinate officials that caused such a thing, and the subordinate officials are guilty." But this matter should be a family affair of the Song Mansion, isn't it okay to send it to Dali Temple?"

"If the Song family can find out the truth, my future wife will not suffer such crimes. Shi Yanmo said, "It's okay to send it to Dali Temple, the Song Lord of the province thought that Ben Hou was biased and poured dirty water on your Song family, but when the time came, Ben Hou was not a person inside and outside." ”

Song Ren'an hurriedly said: "No, the lower official body believes in Hou Ye's character, if Hou Ye makes a move, he will definitely be fair and just, and he will never cheat." ”

He paused and tentatively threw out the steps: "After all, this matter is still a family matter of the Song Mansion, and if it can be resolved privately, it won't make a big fuss." If Master Hou is not at ease, he will follow the subordinate officials to try last night's case and see what is going on?"

Shi Yanmo glanced at him: "Since ancient times, the man of the house has been the master of the house and the woman is inside, although the affairs of the inner house have little to do with the man, but as the master of the Song Mansion, Lord Song cannot be ignorant of the affairs of the inner court, are you sure that you want to be tried in my house?"

Song Ren'an didn't know what he meant, and bowed his head: "Master Hou is only in charge of the trial, no matter what the result is, the lower officials are willing to accept it." ”

"That's it. ”

Song Ren'an is like this, Shi Yanmo also gave him a face, and said to Wushuang: "Let people go to the palace to take a leave, Ben Hou and Lord Song will not go to court today." ”

"Yes. ”

Wushuang answered.

Soon the group came to the backyard of the Shi family, and the noise here had already spread to the next door, and Shi Fu brought hundreds of personal soldiers in order to support his younger brother.

The fierce and vicious formation frightened the legs and feet of the Song family for a while.

The interrogation process was not complicated, the foreign man did not collude with the master to confess, he was frightened by the formation of Xinyang Hou and Shi Shifu and others, and then confessed leniently and resisted strictly, first pulled out and beat fifty military sticks, and immediately recruited everything.

"It was Mrs. Song who asked me to do this, the villain lard was blinded, and received fifty taels of silver from Mrs. Song, and she also promised to marry the eldest lady to the villain afterwards, and the villain would do such a thing, and the villain knew his mistake!"

The matter involved the Duan family, and Duan's face suddenly changed greatly: "Nonsense, what does this matter have to do with Mrs. Ben, Mrs. Ben doesn't know you at all, it's you who secretly communicated with Song Youyu, why did you splash sewage on Mrs. Ben!

"Who doesn't know that the eldest lady is not your own child, you are jealous that she can marry Xinyanghou, so you have revenge!" The foreign man was stimulated by Duan's behavior of turning his face and denying people, and he had resentment in his heart at this time, so he simply let it go, "As a mother-in-law, it doesn't matter if you don't keep the house, and you still want to toss the daughter of the first lady, you are really a ruthless woman!"

"Untouchables!" Duan was furious and reached out to tear him, "Who allowed you to slander Mrs. Ben, if you don't tear your skin today, you will still talk nonsense with yellow mouth and white teeth in the future!"

In the end, it is an adult man, whose strength is comparable to Duan's, the foreign man just pushed it casually, and pushed the person down, he was frank and lenient, and said to Shi Yanmo: "Master Hou, the villain has evidence, the fifty taels of silver given by Mrs. Song are hidden under the bed in the villain's house, if you don't believe it, send someone to search it!"

It's one thing to know, it's another to have a guess absolutely confirmed.

Song Ren'an closed his eyes, took out the jade pendant and asked, "Then what's the matter with this thing, why is it in your hand?"

"It was also given to me by Mrs. Song, and when Mama An beside Mrs. gave it to me, she said that it was Mrs. Chen's relic, and the lord would definitely understand when he saw it, and when the eldest lady jumped into the Yellow River, she wouldn't be able to wash it away!"

The foreign man said, and glanced at Shi Yanmo carefully: "The villain is afraid that Mrs. will repay the account when the time comes, and he deliberately put away the handkerchief wrapped in the jade pendant, Master Hou, please take a look." ”

He took out the handkerchief and spread it out, and someone in the Song family suddenly whispered, "Isn't that Mama An's handkerchief?"

Mama An is the old man of the Song family and a confidant of the Duan family, she will do this, who is not obvious who instructed her?
