After a good night's sleep, Song Yao got up a little earlier for the second time, personally sent her two sons to school, and randomly checked a few shops, and then prepared to go back to the old mansion.

Halfway through the carriage, the coachman suddenly stopped, and Chaser immediately went on guard.

"May I ask if the eldest lady of the old mansion is in the carriage, Song Yuyao?" Someone outside the car asked.

Today's Song Yao is a celebrity in the capital, and it seems that since she appeared in the capital, she has often become the talk of the people after dinner.

At present, Zhuangzi's murder case and Zhang Zhenqi's case are awaiting trial on Yin's side of Jingzhao Mansion, which makes many people pay special attention to Song Yao and want to see what the final result is.

Of course, everyone is also curious about the attitude of the Rui Wangfu towards these two things.

"Something?" Chaxing opened his mouth coldly, and he was on guard against the person who suddenly stopped the car.

"My master wants to invite Miss Song to the restaurant for a while." The voice of the person who came was very respectful, "The master of my family is the second master of the Zheng family. ”

As the voice fell, the coachman handed in a post.

Zhuxing stepped forward to take it and asked Song Yao what he meant.

"The second master of the Zheng family warmly invited, Miss Ben has no reason to refuse, then please ask your second master to go to Song Kee Restaurant to set a location, and Miss Ben will definitely come as promised." Song Yao evoked a meaningful smile and closed her eyes.

Obviously, Song Yao agreed to go to the appointment, and the location should be determined by herself, so she wanted to solicit business for herself.

As for the purpose of the second master of the Zheng family, Song Yao knew it in her heart, and she was even more curious about what kind of conditions the second master of the Zheng family planned to use in exchange for Zhang Zhenqi's freedom.

The person who came answered, then turned sideways to the side and made way for Song Yao's carriage.

When she returned to Ge Lao's Mansion, the concierge informed Song Yao that Song Ge Lao invited her to go to the study for a while.

The father and daughter didn't have much time to get along except for meals, especially the chance of going to the study to talk about things was almost zero, but it also indirectly showed that Song Ge always had something important.

Song Yao came to the study and asked Zhuxing to wait outside.

"Is the father looking for his daughter?" Song Yao asked.

"Yu Yao, Mama Hong's confession has already been read by my father." Song Ge Lao's voice was very low.

Song Yao looked at Song Ge Lao with some distress, came to Song Ge Lao and sat down, and poured Song Ge Lao a cup of hot tea.

"If my father is embarrassed, he should have done nothing. Now that her daughter has returned safely, those people will never do anything to her daughter again, only to slap in with her daughter. Song Yao frowned slightly, and said unbearably.

"If you do something wrong, you should pay the price!"

Elder Song Ge shook his head.

took the teacup and held it in his hand, and did not mean to drink tea.

"Although the Song family is not separated, the old mansion is independent, and they also have their own houses in the capital, and they have long been living separately. But if they dare to get involved in what harms you, the father will not tolerate them, and it is time to separate the family. ”

"Father is in charge." Song Yao nodded, not dissatisfied with Song Ge Lao's arrangement, but suggested: "Father can discuss this matter with his brother, after all, my brother is the eldest son of Ge Lao's mansion, and he will inherit his father's mantle in the future." ”

"Yu Yao, what my father can do is to keep his distance from these people and no longer shelter them from now on."

Putting down the teacup heavily, Song Ge Lao looked at Song Yao, his eyes full of pity and guilt.

"My father knows that this is also unfair to you, but they will clear the traces for the Zhang family afterwards, even if they are sent to the yamen, it will not be much of a crime, but the Song family will lose its reputation from now on, and it will also be an obstacle for you to become Princess Rui in the future."

Song Yao really wanted to burst into a foul mouth, and the bullshit clan sat together, making people feel aggrieved.

But Song Ge Lao's words are not unreasonable, once he really goes to sue that clansman, he still hasn't come out of the five suits, he will live in a ruthless reputation for the rest of his life, but no one will sympathize with the bitter master.

Especially if Song Yao is a daughter, the clan will not be able to tolerate her first.

Smiling reluctantly, Song Yao nodded and said, "It's good if the father has an idea, and the daughter has no grievances." It's just that the daughter also put her words here, hoping that her father can express it to the clan. ”

"You say." Song Ge Lao breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that Song Yao would not make sense and affect his future fate.

"These people's practices are not worthy of being the descendants of the Song family at all, and they do not hesitate to sell the bloodline of the Song family for their own selfish interests, and they may do things that will make the Song family even more embarrassed in the future, if they are not punished heavily, won't the descendants of the Song family follow suit? Song's century-old reputation is in danger! Song Yao said loudly.

Elder Song Ge nodded appreciatively, "You are right, you must give you an explanation in the clan in this matter, otherwise the Elder Pavilion Mansion will be incomprehensible and independent from now on." ”

The father and daughter agreed and smiled at each other.

In fact, they all know very well that the punishment of those people in the clan will never be clearer than that of the government, and even in order to curry favor with Song Yao, the future princess of Rui, in order to protect the people of the Yin clan, they will not necessarily be expelled from the clan.

The bigger the family, the more they care about reputation, but they also care more about profits.

"The daughter has another matter, and she will explain it to her father today."

Song Yao hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"The father once wanted to recruit for his daughter to continue the father's bloodline. But now that her daughter wants to marry into the Ruiwang Mansion, she must not let Helian Sheng get into the fold. is an ingot, and the daughter doesn't want him to inherit her father's mantle, she just wants him to live happily. ”

Song Ge Lao was a little surprised, he thought that Song Yao would marry into the Rui Wang's Mansion and let Song Yuanbao stay in the Ge Lao Mansion was the best choice.

But Song Yao's meaning seemed to want Song Yuanbao to go out independently.

"The ingots are still young, and it's too early to say this." Song Ge Lao knew that he couldn't persuade Song Yao, so he opened his mouth.

"Father, don't forget, my brother is already the eldest son of the old mansion, and we must not chill my brother's heart because of the return of his daughter."

Song Yao said solemnly:

"The transformation of the elder brother, the father must have seen it, and he will be recognized by the clan when he comes to inherit the father's business. As for Yuanbao, I hope he can break out of the world by himself. ”

"Yuan Bao is a child after all, will you make it too hard for him to do this?" Song Ge Lao frowned, not very agreeing.

"Father, don't underestimate Yuanbao, these two little brothers now have a lot of private property, and they are building their own small forces, and their future achievements will not be lower than mine, even if he has a career, his father is here, and there is Rui Wangfu, can you not mention him a little bit?" Song Yao chuckled.

"It's for my father's sake." Song Ge smiled, and after thinking about it carefully, it was the same reason.

"I did this because I didn't want to give Yuan Bao any restraints, and it was also a test for him. Even if we have the ability to give him a splendid future and thousands of family fortunes, it is not fair to Yuan Bao if he is raised to be a gentleman or fix his destiny. ”

Seeing that Song Ge Lao understood his intentions, Song Yao chuckled and said:

"However, I plan to leave all the dowry left by my mother to Yuanbao, he is my first son, so let him carry forward my mother's family business. As for the other children, my current estate will naturally be divided equally among them. ”

"In addition, as long as the old mansion is worth the property, please leave it to your father to your brother to inherit. I have a lot of Zhuangzi and fields in the suburbs of Beijing, and I will leave some for my father at that time, which will be used as the next generation's inheritance in the future. ”

Song Yao blinked playfully and said earnestly:

"My brother is now my father's son, and my father should think more about my brother. On the second uncle's side, he has already cultivated another son as an heir, if the elder brother returns, how should he deal with himself? ”

Officials were not allowed to run shops, but they were allowed to have fields and villages.

Song Yao was afraid that after she got married, the money of the old mansion would be tight, so she wanted to leave some industry for Song Ge Lao.

In this era, there are many constraints on women, no matter how many dowries, if Song Yao makes up for her mother's family after she gets married, she will be criticized.

Especially if the Pavilion Old Mansion accepts it, then it will inevitably be ridiculed, which is not what Song Yao wants to see.

Although there are rules in the official households, the son of the concubine must be in business, which is used to support the children of the official, but the old generation of Song Ge has only one adopted son, and it is not easy to take over the industry from Jiangnan in the future.

Even though the current Pavilion Old Mansion has the support of the second master, there is no shortage of silver, but who knows the future variables?

If you prepare in advance, with Zhuangzi and Liangtian in hand, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing.

Knowing Song Yao's thoughts, Song Ge Lao couldn't refuse, so he nodded in response, and he also owed a little bit to Song Zhiyuan in his heart, but he thought less about this adopted son.

After Song Yao returned to Yuqiong Garden, she received an invitation from the porter and couldn't help laughing.

"This Second Master Zheng is in a hurry, and he actually ordered a private room for tomorrow, which is really a bit capable." Song Yao smiled and threw the post aside, a bright color flashing in her clear eyes.

Let's say that after Song Yao left, it was just a tea time, and Song Zhiyuan came to the study to talk to Song Ge Lao, indicating that he wanted to leave.

When he came to Ge Laofu, he wanted to find out the truth for Song Yao and eliminate those who wanted to harm her, but now that he has done it, Song Zhiyuan doesn't know what the point of staying is there.

For Song Ge Lao, having a biological daughter and a grandson who is destined not to become the son of King Rui's mansion, an adopted son or something is superfluous.

"Yu Yao also talked about you with her father just now."

After Song Ge Lao was slightly surprised, he patted Song Zhiyuan's arm and said:

"Good boy, you have done so much for Yu Yao, no wonder Yu Yao thinks a lot about you. You are already the eldest son of the old mansion, and no one can bring your existence. Even if it's for Yu Yao, you shouldn't leave, even if it's Princess Rui, you also need a strong maternal family to support it, and your father is already old, and the burden of taking care of Yu Yao in the future can only be handed over to you. ”

"Father......" Song Zhiyuan was even more surprised, he thought he had guessed Song Ge Lao's thoughts, but he didn't expect Song Ge Lao to say this.

"My father is really old, and he doesn't think about things comprehensively enough, which is not as thoughtful as Yuyao." Song Ge Lao smiled with satisfaction: "For my father's life, for the sake of love, I have indeed done a lot of biased things. Now that your brothers and sisters can watch and help each other, you will be relieved to be a father. Go ahead and do what you have to do, whether you are in the middle of your career or other choices, the Father has your back. ”

Song Zhiyuan's heart was complicated, but he didn't know how to speak.

stayed, and there was a reason to protect Song Yao and be her dependent.

But looking at the woman you like, you can't even show what you like, who knows this pain?

Bidding farewell to Song Ge Lao, Song Zhiyuan returned to his courtyard, his steps a little heavy.

Caixia had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw Song Zhiyuan coming back, she hurriedly greeted her.

Although none of the people in Zhenyuan dared to go out, unsure of what fate awaited them, Caixia was not among them.

From the beginning of doing things for Song Zhiyuan, Caixia thought that she was Song Zhiyuan's woman, as long as the time was ripe, she could soar into the sky.

"Childe is back, the slave maid has prepared a side dish for you, Childe wants to drink some wine?" Caixia opened her mouth gently, her eyes full of anticipation.
