Bondage

Knowing that Jiang Xingjian saved the eldest son of the concubine, Song Fu only felt that the river in Chengyang Houfu was dead, and he couldn't find a good piece of wood from top to bottom.

He was already worried about Song Wan's situation, but now he completely gave up his extravagant hope that Jiang Xingjian would find his way back.

He even managed to protect the eldest son of the concubine, Jiang Xingjian thought of breaking with the Song family early on.

No matter what, he didn't want Wan'er to stay in the Hou Mansion any longer.

Previously, Jiang Xingjian humiliated the Song Mansion repeatedly and made Wan'er lose face, so he wanted to take Song Wan away from the Marquis Mansion desperately. If his father hadn't come to Jiang Xingjian to swear in every possible way, how could he let this matter go lightly?

Song Fu endured the anger in his heart, and hurried to the study in the mansion to look for Song Lan'an.

Song Lan'an was dealing with official business, when he saw him enter the door, he leisurely put down the booklet in his hand.

"What's the matter?"

Song Fudao: "Father, do you know that Jiang Xingjian and that aunt have a concubine's eldest son, and plan to give birth?"

"This son will not be born in this world, you worry too much."

"How can father be so sure? What if he wants to keep this baby?"

Song Lan'an's face was bright: "Even if Jiang Xingjian wants to protect him, the one in the palace will not let him stay. You are now impetuous, why can't you even see this little thing clearly?"

"You should put more of your mind on your official career, instead of just focusing on the affairs of the Hou Mansion."

Song Fu pursed his lips tightly when he heard the words, feeling disappointed in his heart.

When he first learned that Jiang Xingjian was killed at the border, he asked his father to push back the marriage with the Chengyang Houfu, but his father refused on the grounds of his mother's last wish.

It was from then on that Song Fufang learned that Wan'er could not stand up to his father's ambitions, and that official reputation was important.

Song Fu's face was gloomy, and he said after a while: "Neither Jiang Man nor Jiang Xingjian paid much attention to the Song family, and they have repeatedly gone to Wan'er's reputation and life, so what's the use of such in-laws? And the situation in the palace has changed. Well, everyone in the world knows that Wan'er is my aunt's weakness, if in the future..."

Raising his hand to interrupt Song Fu's words, Song Lan'an's eyes darkened: "You keep saying Wan'er Wan'er, why is Wan'er your sister, Song Yao and Song Nian are not?"

"Where did you take the whole family of the Song family, Song Zhao, Song Bi and your cousins ​​from the second and third families?"

"Because I, Song Lan'an's daughter, have ruined the reputation of nearly a hundred daughters in the clan, how do you think outsiders will think of me, the patriarch of the Song clan?"

Song Fuwen said: "It would be inappropriate for my Song family to destroy the friendship between the two surnames for no reason, but now the Hou family is the most rude and unrestrained. If my Song family is indifferent and ignores it, it will not hurt the Song family even more. Strong character?"

"If this precedent is set, is it the same as telling the world that girls from my Song family can be bullied at will after they marry?"

Song Lan'an said: "Then according to what you see, what should you do with Wan'er?"

"Baby wants to gather relatives from the two prefectures to witness, and ask Jiang Xingjian to write down the letter to release his wife."

Song Lan'an looked at Song Fu without saying a word.

"The prince wakes up, and the situation in the palace has changed. Although the fifth prince is not in the chief role, Concubine Jiang has great ambitions and will definitely do something. Father has been ignoring the affairs of the Marquis Mansion, but he wants Concubine Jiang or Jiang Xingjian Take action against Wan'er, so as to tell the world that Concubine Jiang's methods are sinister, her character is flawed, and she can even do things like mutilate her sister-in-law?"

"In this way, the Song Mansion can remain invincible without any effort?"

Once Concubine Jiang resorted to such a dirty trick, she would definitely lose her mind. If her father wanted to win without a fight, he might add fuel to the flames in the future and personally force Concubine Jiang to do something to Wan'er.

As long as Song Fu thinks of this, he will feel resentful and hard to suppress, wishing to take Song Wan back to the mansion immediately.

Seeing his son-in-law speak fiercely, Song Lan'an narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is this the way you talk to your father? Have you read all the sage books into the dog's stomach?"

"Or do you think that if you enter the Ministry of Officials and become a fifth-rank doctor, you can walk away from the Song clan and stand on your own?"

"Child dare not."

"Don't dare? I see you are very courageous."

Song Lan'an snorted: "A mere fifth-grade doctor makes you defiant and yells at your father? Could it be that you think this official position is for nothing?"

"If you weren't a son of the Song family, how could you sit in this position?"

Song Fudao: "Father, what does it mean that the doctor's position is arranged by the clan?"

Song Lan'an snorted coldly, neither responding nor denying.

"It's not difficult for Wan'er to leave the Hou's mansion."

Putting together the memorials in front of him one by one, Song Lan'an stood up: "I am both the father of Wan'er and the patriarch of the Song clan. How can I bring the Song clan down because of my own selfishness? You really disappoint my father by thinking of me like this."

"Besides, as the son of the Song family, the burden of this family will also be handed over to you in the future. If Wan'er returns home at this time, how will you deal with yourself, and how will your marriage be seen by a noble woman?"

"If you want to take over the position of patriarch in the future, you need to support the family. Therefore, the next mistress of the Song family must not be low-born."

"Are you not thinking about these things for your father?"

Song Fu lowered his eyes, for a moment he didn't know whether it was his father's sincerity, or whether he had thought about his marriage and used Wan'er to control him.

He stood with his hands hanging down, allowing Song Lanan to be around.

Song Lan'an said lightly: "I have already chosen someone for your marriage. After the two families settle down, the Song Mansion will have no worries, and everything will be easy to talk about."

"I don't know which house my father likes?"

"Miss Ninth, the second wife of the British government, what do you think?"

Song Fu raised his eyes to look at Song Lan'an, and nodded slightly after a long time: "Father makes the decision."

The British Duke was originally the son of the Duke of Qi. Both father and son died in the battle with Nanqing 40 years ago.The wife of the Duke of England is the current aunt of the Holy One, Yi and the eldest princess.

Princess Dachang had two sons and a daughter, and Miss Nine was born to the second son.But in the early years, the second son died of illness, and Miss Nine's biological mother died in grief and indignation, so Miss Nine of the British government has been kept in the house by the eldest princess.

It was rumored in Beijing that Miss Nine was extremely loved by the Eldest Princess, and that her uncle, Yan Tongfu, the servant of the Ministry of War, loved her very much.

Ordinarily, such an identity is far from a match for the Song family, but no one in Shangjing has ever seen this Miss Nine. It is said that she suffers from speech impediment and cannot speak clearly.The eldest princess couldn't bear her being teased, so Fang never let her go out to meet guests.

No matter how good a woman's background is, it is impossible for her to be the mistress of a mansion, but the Eldest Princess has a domineering temperament and a very high vision, and few people from the Shangjing family can catch her eyes.

Not to mention those anointed Liang Wanqian and concubine children.

It took a lot of effort for my father to be able to connect with the eldest princess and talk about the marriage.

Song Fu lowered his eyes to cover the expression in his eyes: "My baby's marriage has been decided, can Wan'er take her back to the mansion? If the house is not convenient, Hai'er can also place her elsewhere."

Song Lan'an smiled lightly: "After you get married, you will be able to take care of yourself. You can handle these small matters by yourself."
