With the money from selling the shop, Song Qizhao went out and invited some talented people with whom he had a good relationship to get together.

As soon as he walked out of the Song family, Shen Yunyan came back in a carriage.

Song Zhou's face was greasy from eating. When she heard footsteps behind her, she thought her son had forgotten to bring something.

When she turned around, she found Shen Yunyan standing behind her with a stern look on her face.

"Where did you get these things?"

She looked at the dishes on the table in despair. Each dish cost several taels of silver.

The money she had given to Song Zhou had long been spent, so where did she get this money from?

Shen Yunyan went straight back to her room and found that all the clothes Song Qizhao often wore were gone.

The feeling of uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense. Looking at her mother-in-law's guilty eyes, no matter how stupid Shen Yunyan was, she realized that something was wrong.

"Where did he go!"

Shen Yunyan stepped forward and swept away the dishes on the table.

Song Zhou was frightened by Shen Yunyan's crazy look and forgot to fight back for a moment. She just stammered and couldn't explain clearly.

Inside Baihua Tower, Song Qizhao was sitting in a private room on the second floor, and the invited talented scholars across from him looked at each other in bewilderment.

They have always boasted that they are from a noble family, so when have they ever been to this brothel?

"I heard that Brother Song failed the exam this year. Could it be that some girl in this building has bewitched him?"

One of them spoke sarcastically.

He had originally looked down on Song Qizhao's cheerful appearance, and later he even married the daughter of a high-ranking official, which made him even more jealous.

In this year's spring examination, although his results were not as good as others, he still ranked fourth in the provincial examination.

Song Qizhao didn't notice the sarcasm in his words at all. Instead, he smiled and picked up the wine glass on the table.

"So what if I fail the exam? My wife's family is an official. If I want, I can easily become an official for fun. You guys study hard for decades, but you can't even support yourself after failing the exam!"

After a few drinks, Song Qizhao's cheeks turned red and his words became out of control.

All the talented people present were so angry that their faces turned red, but they didn't dare to say anything because of the power of the Shen family.

After a long time, several talented people found an excuse to leave.

Only the person who mocked Song Qizhao at the beginning hid in the crowd, paying attention to Song Qizhao's every move.

"Hey, isn't this our famous Song talent? How come I heard that you failed the exam this year?"

Just when Song Qizhao was about to pay the money and leave, a group of people blocked the gatehouse.

Different from the talented scholar just now, these people are all from famous families in the capital.

Some of them have higher status than the Shen family.

What they despise most is people like Song Qizhao who rely on women to get to the top.

One of them was Fang Yonghao, the young master of the Yongyi Marquis’s Mansion. He raised his hand and poured the wine jug on the table over Song Qizhao’s head.

The people around him started laughing and formed a circle around him, trying to torment him in different ways.

The cold touch made the drunk Song Qizhao shiver. He looked up in a daze, and before he could see clearly who was in front of him, a plate of food was poured on his head.

The smell of oil and water immediately spread.

"damn it!"

Without waiting for everyone to react, Song Qizhao angrily raised his fist and punched Fang Yonghao directly.

"!"

Everyone was stunned and stood there in a daze.

Fang Yonghao raised his hand and wiped his nose, and his eyes turned red when he saw the bright red blood on his palm.

As the prince, he has always been the center of attention at home. He has never suffered such injustice.

"Hit me! How dare you attack this prince? You really don't want to live anymore!"

At Fang Yonghao's command, the people around him raised their fists towards Song Qizhao.

Two fists are no match for four hands, and soon Song Qizhao's face was covered with scars.

When Shen Yunyan found Baihua Tower and planned to call for an explanation, this was the scene she saw.

"What are you doing!"

She exclaimed and hurried forward.

Some people of lower status quickly put away the objects in their hands when they saw her coming.

Fang Yonghao looked Shen Yunyan up and down.

It has to be said that Shen Yunyan was well raised in the Shen family. If she had not married into the Song family, she would have been more than able to find a woman of good status in the capital to be her legal wife.

Now...

Fang Yonghao looked at Shen Yunyan's slender waist and pretty face, and immediately had a plan in his mind.

"Madam Song, he was the first to hit me today, and I won't let this matter go like this."

Fang Yonghao glared at Song Qizhao fiercely, then turned around and left with his group of younger brothers.

Shen Yunyan just felt frightened.

Everyone in the capital knows the young master of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion. He is a well-known gangster who has committed many crimes relying on his family background.

Seeing Song Qizhao lying on the ground in such a miserable state that he looked unrecognizable as a human being, Shen Yunyan felt ashamed and quickly asked the servant to carry him onto the carriage.

When they returned to the Song family, Song Zhou stood at the door with her neck stretched, waiting.

"Hey! My son, what happened to you?"

As the carriage stopped, Song Qizhao was carried off the carriage by four or five servants.

Shen Yunyan stood beside him in displeasure and rolled her eyes, "Why offend anyone else when you can? How dare you offend the prince of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion? The prince will never stop talking about my mother-in-law!"

As she said this, she still felt unsatisfied and kicked Song Qizhao hard, who was placed on the ground by the servant.

Song Zhou was stunned when she heard this.

Although she didn't have much knowledge, the Marquis' Mansion sounded like it was not easy to deal with.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you think about this matter? My son definitely didn't do it on purpose."

At this moment, she can only rely on the Shen family to prevent her son from suffering.

Shen Yunyan had no choice. In terms of rank, the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion was several levels higher than her Shen family.

"Go back first. You won't be laughed at by others if you stay here."

Seeing that more and more people gathered around, Shen Yunyan directed the servants to carry the people into the house.

After a long time, Song Qizhao slowly opened his eyes.

When I found myself back home, tears welled up in the corners of my eyes.

"Mom, my body hurts!"

Song Qizhao shouted.

Although the Song family had been poor before, he had never suffered such a fate.

Now when he opened his eyes and saw his mother, the grown man felt so aggrieved that he cried out in pain.

Shen Yunyan sat on a chair, holding the tea that Qingyun had just brewed.

"My husband, you feel the pain now. Why didn't you stop when you offended the prince?"

She looked at Song Qizhao with a mocking expression on her face. She really didn't know how such a person could become a prime minister in his previous life.

When Song Qizhao heard Shen Yunyan's voice, he glanced at her with the only eye he could move and glared at her.

"Is this the tone you use when talking to the man at home?"

Song Zhou, who was standing by, tried desperately to look at Song Qizhao, but he misunderstood her.

"Mom, are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Seeing that her son was not doing well, Song Zhou walked to Shen Yunyan with a very attentive look on her face and took her other hand.

"My dear wife, he must have been beaten silly to say that. You will need to help him deal with this later!"

Without the Shen family behind Shen Yunyan, the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion could drown them with just a spit.

Song Zhou was not stupid enough to offend Shen Yunyan at this critical juncture.
