The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 460: Overthrowing Aunt Yin (2)

Aunt Yin wanted to completely get Yang He out of this matter. Her intention was very obvious and the method she adopted was very direct.

However, neither the old lady nor Song Hongwen had ever thought of involving Song Yanghe in this matter. Aunt Yin's approach just happened to be in line with the wishes of the old lady and Song Hongwen.

After all, Song Yanghe is Song Hongwen's biological daughter. Even if she is not taken seriously on weekdays, as long as what she does does not touch the bottom line of the Duke's Mansion, the old lady and Song Hongwen will still keep her safe at critical moments.

In contrast, Xu's reaction was completely different. She frowned tightly, thinking to herself: When the smallpox incident happened, Yang He was still young and did not participate in it, which was understandable; but now this matter, it is obvious that it was Yang He's idea alone, and Aunt Yin was just a scapegoat.

If Xu's idea were to be followed, Yang He's actions today must not be let off easily. She must be severely punished, otherwise Yang He would never realize the seriousness of the problem.

You know, if Yang He's temper is not corrected, even if she marries into her husband's family in the future, she will only bring endless troubles and disasters to the Duke's Mansion.

However, Xu had served the old lady for many years, so how could she not see what the old lady was thinking?

Besides, Yang He was the daughter of the first wife after all, and Xu, as the wife of the second wife, could not interfere in Yang He's affairs without going through the old lady and the Duke.

Song Yanghe stood there, staring blankly at the scene in front of her, as if time had stopped at this moment.

She couldn't believe her eyes. Her aunt would kneel on the ground like a stinky dog, begging her grandmother and father.

But the expressions of my grandmother and father were so cold, as if Aunt Yin's pleading was meaningless to them.

Song Yanghe had never seen her aunt in such a miserable state. A complex emotion surged in her heart, including shock, fear, and a trace of indescribable guilt.

"Mother..." Song Yanghe's lips trembled slightly, and finally she couldn't help but call out the word softly.

This call seemed to be an instinctive reaction from deep in her heart, even though she had resented her aunt many times because of her status as a concubine's daughter, blaming her for her low status and inability to bring her more glory and status.

However, at this moment, all the resentment was thrown out of the window. Song Yanghe only saw the pitiful and helpless figure of her aunt, and the reluctance and love for herself revealed in her eyes.

Yang He's murmur seemed so insignificant in the noisy upper room. It was easily drowned out by the noise of the crowd and did not attract anyone's attention.

However, Aunt Yin seemed to have heard the most precious voice in the world. Her body trembled violently, and then she slowly turned her head and looked at Song Yanghe who was kneeling on the ground.

When their eyes met, a flash of surprise flashed across Aunt Yin's eyes, which was then replaced by endless tenderness and attachment. She just looked at Yang He quietly, as if she wanted to deeply engrave her appearance and voice at this moment in her heart.

So many years have passed, and Aunt Yin has been waiting for Yang He to call her "Mother". Now, she has finally waited, but at such a heartbreaking moment.

The old lady looked at the chaotic and noisy room and felt as if her head was hit hard by a sledgehammer, causing waves of pain.

She suppressed her discomfort, her eyes fell on Song Hongwen beside her, and she slowly said, "Duke, the one who made the mistake today was your concubine, and the victim was your biological daughter.

How to deal with this matter depends on your opinion, Duke."

When Song Hongwen heard what the old lady said, he stood up quickly, bowed to her, and said with a hint of apology on his face, "Mother, I really troubled you today. These are all things in the children's room, but you still bothered me to listen to them for so long."

Although his tone was respectful, it felt a little perfunctory.

Then, Song Hongwen turned his gaze to Aunt Yin lying on the ground. His eyes were full of disgust and disdain, as if the woman in front of him was not his doted concubine these days, but a stranger.

He snorted coldly and said mercilessly: "Aunt Yin, you are a sinner with ulterior motives! Someone, drag her down and give her twenty hard beatings, then banish her from the mansion and send her to the farm to reflect on her actions!"

As for the Fifth Miss, I'm afraid that you have been taught incorrectly by Aunt Yin for so many years. If you have nothing to do during this period, don't leave your own courtyard. Copy the "Female Rules" in the courtyard and learn how to behave in society."

Then, Song Hongwen stared at the pitiful and lovable Yang Qi in front of him, and his voice was rarely gentle and kind: "Good child, your father has been away from home for these years, and you have suffered a lot of grievances.

But don't worry, your father assures you that something like this will never happen again."

Upon hearing this, although Yang Qi still felt a little sad in her heart, she still bowed deeply to Song Hongwen and said softly, "Thank you, father." Her movements were elegant and her manners were thoughtful, which made people admire her upbringing and manners. In comparison, Yang He's performance today was really far from that.

However, there is a lot of meaning behind Song Hongwen's action of having Aunt Yin beaten with a stick.

If the beating was too severe, it was not impossible that Aunt Yin would be beaten to death; even if she was only half alive, in that remote village with a lack of medical care and medicine, it would be extremely difficult for Aunt Yin to survive.

Therefore, what the final result will be depends entirely on whether Song Hongwen wants to save Aunt Liu Yin's life.

As for this point, Yang Qi actually knew it a long time ago.

After all, Song Hongwen has always been a selfish person, and he doesn't care too much about the affairs of the inner house.

Therefore, Yang Qi had actually anticipated today's result.

She never expected Song Hongwen to truly stand on her side and seek justice for her.

In her opinion, Song Hongwen was just an indifferent bystander.

On the contrary, when Xu heard about Song Hongwen's decision, she was extremely disappointed. Not to mention that today's incident almost ruined Yang Qi's future, even the smallpox incident almost took Yang Qi's life. The Duke actually dealt with her in such a light manner. How could it comfort Yang Qi's past pain!
