Yong'an Hou said straightforwardly: "Two carriages of gifts have been arranged for each of you."

Afterwards, she explained the jewel-studded gold hairpin that Yuntang had given her, as well as the cakes and clothes that she had given Ming'er.

In addition, the Second and Third Ladies picked out four pieces of summer clothing material each from the warehouse, so that Wei Yulan and Zhou Siyue could make summer clothes for themselves after returning to their parents' homes.

In addition, Marquis Yong'an also gave them a half-year monthly allowance. Adding on the luggage and personal belongings they had already packed, it would not have any impact on them staying in their parents' home for half a year.

However, Wei Yulan heard something wrong and asked worriedly, "Father, do we have to stay for half a year before we can return home?"

Yong'an Marquis nodded, and seeing that Wei Yulan's face was becoming more solemn and uneasy, he said, "Family disgrace should not be made public. When you go back, don't talk too much about your mother-in-law."

"But you have to understand that your mother-in-law has made a mistake after all, and you will be ashamed if you tell others about it."

"It's for your own good to ask you to stay away, especially to prevent Ming'er from returning home."

Marquis Yong'an mentioned Ming'er again, and Jiang Yanxuan had also mentioned him before, which made Wei Yulan even more suspicious.

But Yong'an Hou picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then put it down and urged: "Hurry up and set off."

Wei Yulan wanted to ask again why Ming'er couldn't return home, but seeing this, she had to swallow her doubts, thinking that she could find a chance to send a message to her husband when she returned to the Wei Mansion.

Her husband went back to Nandaying early yesterday morning, and she had to take her children back to her parents' home early this morning. She didn't know what had happened, but obviously she couldn't ask anything.

Suppressing the panic in her heart, she and Zhou Siyue bowed to the Yong'an Marquis, then called the servants in to collect the things that were distributed to them, including the half-yearly salary.

Jiang Yanxuan went out to see that everything had been arranged for the carriages. There were four carriages in total, each with a list of gifts and a housekeeper in charge of following the carriages, as well as guards accompanying the carriages.

In addition, Wei Yulan and Zhou Siyue each had maids and servants as dowries, and except for those who stayed in the yard, the rest were taken along.

Xiao Ming'er's wet nurse and two maids were also brought along, and Marquis Yong'an also dispatched a second-class maid from the second and third rooms to accompany Xiao Ming'er.

Temporary transfer of personnel from the second and third houses was done before the servants in the whole mansion were screened, as the second and third houses were the most stable.

With Princess Kangning's pride and the fact that she became the mistress as soon as she entered the house, she would not extend her hand into her brother's sister-in-law's yard, not to mention that these two second-class maids were the dowry of the second and third wives.

Afterwards, he selected four boys aged eight to ten from among the family's own children to follow Xiao Ming'er.

It can be said that as long as Xiao Ming'er does not go out far, there are really a lot of people around him, whether it is to look after him, watch over him, or play with him.

In addition, Marquis Yong'an also arranged four guards to go to the Wei Mansion. If Wei Yulan or Xiao Ming'er's wet nurse needed manpower or needed to run errands, they could also call on people from his own mansion.

When Wei Yulan was waiting in the front yard for the last of the luggage to be loaded onto the carriage, she felt even more upset when she saw that so many people were arranged for Ming'er.

Although this is Ming'er's arrangement, there seems to be something going on no matter how you look at it.

She didn't know what was happening and she was scared.

The number of people she arranged was obviously much larger than that of Zhou Siyue.

Zhou Siyue only brought her two maids and two old women who came with her as a dowry, and she didn't even have the guards who were specially assigned to serve in the outer courtyard.

Marquis Yong'an held his grandson and talked for a while. After everyone got on the carriage, he sent Xiao Ming'er to the wet nurse's carriage.

There were the four servants in the wet nurse's carriage, and four guards were following outside the carriage.

Marquis Yong'an gave the wet nurse several more instructions individually, all asking her to take good care of Ming'er.

Before noon, the carriages finally set off. With so many carriages and guards following them, they attracted the attention of many passers-by on the street not long after they left.

It was just that the grand banquet at the Princess Protector of the Country’s residence was held the day before yesterday, and when some people saw that it was a carriage from the Yong’an Marquis’ residence, they just thought that it was going to another banquet somewhere, and there was nothing to discuss.

No one knew that Marquis Yong'an arranged for his two daughters-in-law and grandson to return to her parents' home.

Marquis Yong'an personally went to Tianji Pavilion to find Yun Xuanying to explain the situation.

Upon hearing that Princess Kangning's curse on Yuntang had been discovered, and that Yuntang meant to break his wings and imprison him in the courtyard to let him suffer the backlash, he personally took a few people to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Marquis Yong'an did not wait for a response from Prince Cheng's Palace. Since Tang'er had already expressed his attitude and arrangements, he just did as he was told.

Princess Kangning has the guts to murder her own daughter in such a despicable way, so she must be prepared to bear the consequences.

All the love between husband and wife was finally worn out after learning what Princess Corning had done yesterday.

He did not divorce his wife out of consideration for the reputation of Prince Cheng's Mansion.

What’s more, there are so many children in the mansion who are going to take the imperial examinations and get married. We cannot let this scandal ruin their future.

Therefore, house arrest until death is the safest solution.

Therefore, after returning home last night, he saw that his third brother had not returned from an appointment with a friend, so he invited his second and third brothers' wives, as well as Butler Hu and Mrs. Ge.

Ever since he personally wrote the letter of severing ties and tacitly allowed the clan leader's wife and others to visit the sick at Songhe Hall, and used this opportunity to reprimand his mother, he has not been to Songhe Hall in recent days.

The old lady had been recuperating since then, and had refused to see anyone, nor to allow the second and third ladies to pay them respects, according to what Mrs. Ge had whispered.

The old lady has been saying that she wants to practice Buddhism with her hair uncut recently. She only eats meat at noon and only eats vegetarian food for the other two meals.

Marquis Yong'an let her do as she pleased and only asked Mrs. Ge to take good care of her. She also called the court physician and the imperial physician when necessary, and there was a small kitchen to provide meals.

The old lady began to stop asking about what was happening outside Songhe Hall, but Mrs. Ge kept in touch with Butler Hu and reported everything to the Marquis.

Mrs. Ge didn't know that Princess Cheng had come, but Marquis Yong'an would definitely tell Mrs. Ge if he wanted to deal with the affairs of Jinhua Hall.

If any servant of Songhe Hall lets slip the secret and tells the old lady, it will inevitably cause trouble. It would be better to speak to Mrs. Ge and let her restrain the servants of Songhe Hall.

Whether it was the Second Lady and the Third Lady, or Butler Hu and Mrs. Ge, they were all stunned when they heard the truth, with faces full of horror and disbelief.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so what is Princess Kangning trying to do?

But the evidence was conclusive, and Princess Kangning still denied it. Princess Cheng didn't take any action, but just scolded her a few words and left?

Others didn't understand, but Marquis Yong'an didn't say what Yuntang said. He just took all the actions and consequences on himself.

When Tianji Pavilion came to set up the formation for Jinhua Hall, Marquis Yong'an had already begun to investigate the servants in the mansion, intending to remove Princess Kangning's confidants and sell them out first.

When Prince Cheng and his wife came out of the palace, they went straight to the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, and the Yong'an Marquis let them deal with the servants of Jinhua Hall on their own.

Yuntang said that she wanted to keep two maids and four old women, and return the dowry and property to Prince Cheng's Mansion.

However, Marquis Yong'an was only willing to keep two maids and sold the rest.
