Chapter 258: Settlement of Accounts after Autumn
"Brother!" Shan Xi was so excited when he saw Shan Li that he stood up and was about to run over, but when he reached Shan Li, he stopped.
It’s really that eldest brother’s eyes are too scary.
She was a little scared.
"You're here." Song Qingci was also happy when he saw Shan Li.
This person finally came.
"Yes, here it comes." These three short words completely suppressed the murderous aura from before.
Shan Xi, who was closest to him, looked at his elder brother as if he was looking at something strange.
Where did you learn how to change your face, bro?!
This is too fast.
"It turns out that it is the young general who has arrived. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar." The Marquis of Yongchang greeted Shan Li.
Although he is a marquis, he is a hero who recovered the lost territory. He cannot be offended easily.
"You are too polite, my Lord." Shan Li was still very enthusiastic. "The Marquis's Mansion is really hospitable. My wife came to visit and stayed all day. She didn't go home until late at night, so I came here uninvited. I hope you don't mind."
"I don't mind, I don't mind. Speaking of which, I would like to thank the young lady. You helped me today and saved He'er's life. When He'er recovers, I will take him to thank the young lady in person."
"No need to thank me. My Lord, please take care of the young master when you have time. It is not easy to raise a child safely and healthily. As a father and mother, you have to worry a lot. My husband is here to pick me up, so I will take my leave now." Finally, she applied eye drops.
Song Qingci took Shan Li's hand and walked out.
Shan Xi and the others followed obediently and left together.
Because of the words "my husband", Shan Li's original cold aura disappeared in an instant.
There was also a hint of pride in his expression.
But, no one could discover these except him.
Shan Ruoyan has been living in fear ever since she woke up. Now that she has finally returned to the general's mansion, she wants to sneak back to her own yard without attracting anyone's attention.
However, unexpectedly, just as she was about to sneak away with her skirt lifted up, she was stopped by Song Qingci.
"Where are you going, Third Sister?!"
"Well, sister-in-law, it's getting late and I want to go back and rest." Shan Ruoyan hesitated and couldn't speak clearly.
"Don't worry, let's go to Chixiaoyuan together." Song Qingci said and left.
Shan Ruoyan didn't want to go, but Yin Xing just stared at her. She didn't dare not go.
"Bitong, go tell your aunt that I'm in Chixiao Courtyard." Shan Ruoyan passed the message to her maid, and then followed Song Qingci to Chixiao Courtyard.
Lou was the first to receive the news of their return. She was relieved that everyone had returned. But she didn't expect that a servant would come to invite her. She said that the young lady wanted the eldest lady to go to Chixiao Courtyard to discuss something.
A Ci had never done this before. When Lou received the news, he went directly to Chi Xiao Courtyard.
When she arrived, she found that not only her, but also Qi from the second house and Shan Ruoyan's biological mother, Aunt Ding, were there.
"Mother is here, please take a seat." When Song Qingci saw Lou coming, he stood up to greet her and offered her the main seat.
"No, I'll just sit aside. This is your yard, so you should sit in the main seat." Even if Lou was stupid, she could see that there was something to be done today.
She came just to watch the process and didn't want to take the main seat.
"That's fine." Song Qingci had already declined and didn't force it anymore.
Everyone who should be here has arrived, and it’s time to start cleaning up the mess.
"Shan Ruoyan, do you know you are wrong?" Song Qingci didn't like beating around the bush. Besides, it was getting late, so he should finish early and go to bed early.
When Shan Ruoyan was named, she was so scared that she hid behind her own mother, Aunt Ding, and didn't dare to say a word.
"Madam, if the Third Miss did something wrong, the Master will discipline her. It's not good to mobilize so many people, right?" Aunt Ding didn't know what happened.
But Ruoyan is her biological daughter, she must protect her.
"Mrs. Ding, what you mean is that I can't discipline Shan Ruoyan?"
"No, that's not what I meant." How could Aunt Ding admit that?
Song Qingci stood up from his seat, walked to Aunt Ding, glanced at her, then reached out and pulled Shan Ruoyan out from behind her.
Before Shan Ruoyan could react, she was slapped in the face, knocking her to her knees!
This operation stunned everyone in the room!
Although Song Qingci is very skilled.
So far, she has only attacked Shan Li and Feng Er, who are also good at martial arts.
This was the first time that she openly showed her violence in front of everyone.
"Young Madam! You! What right do you have to hit the Third Miss!" Aunt Ding reacted the fastest. She squatted down to check on Shan Ruoyan's injuries.
With just this one slap, half of Dan Ruoyan's face was swollen and blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth.
"Why?" Song Qingci looked at Aunt Ding, "Because I am the current head of the General's Mansion!"
"You..." Aunt Ding was speechless.
The power of being the head of the household is indeed great.
"Shan Ruoyan, tell me yourself, do you feel wronged when I slapped you today?" Song Qingci looked at Shan Ruoyan with deep eyes.
She is now completely different from when she was in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
"I...I...I..." Dan Ruoyan kept saying "I" for a long time but didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Qi looked at this scene without any displeasure. She even felt a little happy.
She had long disliked this concubine Ding. However, Shan Su was nostalgic and would always stay in her room for a few days every month. This made it impossible for her to find a chance to punish her.
Shan Yu tried her best to hide behind her mother and reduce her presence. She knew the methods of this sister-in-law. Her strange pills and her ruthlessness in breaking people's bones with her bare hands. She was really scared.
Lou watched the whole process without saying a word.
Based on her understanding of A Ci, she would not attack others for no reason.
Ruoyan must have done something to make her so angry.
"Madam, no matter what the Third Miss did, you can't hit her like this! She is the Third Miss of the General's Mansion!"
"If it weren't for the fact that she was the third daughter of the general's mansion, I would have done more than just beat her today!" Song Qingci saved face for Shan Ruoyan when he was outside, and protected her everywhere.
But I don't intend to let her go just like that.
Naturally, she would be punished when she returns to her home for the mistakes she made!
