Chapter 154 The Power of the Family

Butler Shan was taken away by Song Qingci's men. When he left, he exuded the aura of death.

No one knew what he was thinking at this moment. Of course, Song Qingci didn't care. His ending had been determined long ago. There would be no surprises.

She really didn't care what a mortal man was thinking.

At this moment, only the old lady and Song Qingci were left in Jing'an Hall.

The scene was a little awkward for a moment.

No one spoke for a long time. I was most afraid of the sudden silence in the air. It was really too torturous. In the end, Song Qingci couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Grandma, do you have anything else to say? !"

"How does Ah Ci plan to deal with Zhang Tianci?!"

The old lady didn't want to ask about the fate of Shan Huairen and his people. In any case, they couldn't escape death.

And the old lady also felt that for all the things they had done, death was a privilege for them. After all, if they died, they wouldn't have to suffer in life.

Only Zhang Tianci, if you say he is innocent, it seems that this is not the case. Just as Ah Ci said, the premise of not bringing disaster to children is that they will not benefit from it.

It can be said that many of Shan Huairen's actions were caused by him. But if we say that he deserved the punishment, it seems that he really didn't do anything unforgivable.

It's really hard to strike the right balance here, so the old lady wanted to hear what Song Qingci had to say.

"Grandmother, Zhang Tianci, as I said before, is not innocent. But he is not unforgivable. So, granddaughter-in-law arranged a good place for him." As for the arrangement of Zhang Tianci, it can be said that Song Qingci had arranged it when he knew about him.

"Oh? Where are you going?" the old lady became curious.

"There is a crystal mine belonging to the royal family a hundred miles away from the capital. Let Zhang Tianci work there for the rest of his life and atone for his sins. I won't interfere, but how long he can live there is up to him."

Shan Huairen sold so many men to different mines, so he might as well let his own baby try that kind of environment and place.

Crystal mines are more tiring and torturous than ordinary iron mines, and the working environment is even worse.

She sincerely hoped that Zhang Tianci could stay in the mine for a few more years and atone for some of his sins.

After listening to this, the old lady was silent for a long time before she said, "Aci, your arrangement is good. Everything depends on him. Once you enter the royal mining area, you can't get out easily. Letting him atone for his sins in this way can be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect."

"What about the Third Master?!" This is the biggest thorn in the old lady's heart right now.

Song Qingci took the initiative to sit down below the old lady, holding her hand, and tried to slow down his voice, "Grandma, the matter of the Third Master is not suitable for public disclosure for the time being. At present, we only know this name, and basically know nothing about other information. But what is certain is that this Third Master is very hostile to our General's Mansion. If the news leaks out at this time, my granddaughter-in-law is afraid that this Third Master will kill the General's Mansion."

A cornered dog will jump over the wall. The current General's Mansion can't stand such a thing.

Although Song Qingci has the ability to save the lives of everyone in the general's mansion, it is impossible to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

If that were the case, she would be exhausted to death!

"You are right!" The old lady naturally understood the importance of this matter, otherwise she would not have driven everyone out. "Ah Ci, now in the general's mansion, there are old and young people. Your father-in-law is still far away in the border town. If something really happens, you will have to bear it!"

She saw everything about how Aci handled things today.

Able to endure and plan, with courage and skill.

Moreover, he was very decisive in his actions. He was affectionate and righteous, yet decisive and ruthless. He was simply the perfect candidate to be the head of the general's mansion.

Yun Zhi was lucky to marry such a wife, not only was he lucky, but the entire general's mansion also benefited from it.

Song Qingci looked at the old lady, her whole body was full of rejection, with a fake smile on her face, "Grandma, well, there is still mother in the mansion. I am still young and can't help."

The old lady disagreed, "Your mother is a very soft person. She is easily manipulated. Look at what happened this time. She has been in charge of the family for so many years, and she has been deceived for so many years. She should just take a rest and educate the children. She is no longer suitable to be the head of the family."

To be honest, the Lou family was quite good at educating their children. Both Shan Li and Shan Xi were well educated. Moreover, there was the negative example of the second aunt Qi.

We can't deny her as a whole person just because she is not capable of managing the family.

Song Qingci was just about to say that if mother couldn't do it, there was still Second Aunt, but the words were on the tip of his tongue and he swallowed them back.

Second Aunt is even less reliable than my mother. If she were to be the head of the household, the general’s mansion would probably lose even the superficial peace.

"How about giving mother another chance? After this incident, I believe that mother will improve. At least she won't be easily deceived again." Song Qingci didn't want to compromise.

If she takes on this huge mess, will she be able to leave easily when she wants to? !

No, no! Absolutely not!

She was willing to take the initiative to help with things within her ability, but being forced to take over the reins of the general's mansion were two completely different things.

Her shoulders were too light to carry the entire general's mansion.

"Ah Ci, don't refuse your grandmother. Now, you are the eldest grandson's wife in this general's mansion. According to the rules, you are also legitimate. You have seen it. This general's mansion seems to be an iron wall, but in fact it is like walking on thin ice. Your mother's personality is such that she is really not suitable to be the head of the family. And your second aunt is like that. If you leave the family to her, it will probably be even worse."

"Can you bear to see me, at my age, still working hard for the general's mansion? Ah Ci, I beg you! Please agree to this for my sake!"

After saying this, a pleading look appeared on the old lady's face.

Song Qingci was never afraid of others being cruel, because when it came to being crueler, she had never been afraid of anyone.

But she was afraid that others would be soft on her.

Looking at the old lady's pleading eyes, the words of refusal seemed to be stuck in my throat. I couldn't say them anymore.

Oh my God! She doesn't want to be the head of the family! But, but the lovely old lady begged her!

What can she do? Woohoo! I feel like I've been tricked again!

"That's great! Grandma knew that you loved her! Ah Ci! I'll have to rely on you to take care of the General's Mansion from now on!" The old lady saw that Song Qingci's expression relaxed.

Hurry up and strike the snake while the stick is still there, and first determine the status.
