Chapter 158: Madam Gong’s Warning
"You're crazy! You must be crazy!" Song couldn't bear it any longer. She pushed Yun Hao away and stood up in fear and was about to run out. "I want to go back to my mother's house. I want to go back to see my father. I want to ask him face to face what is going on."
This time, Yun Hao did not stop Song, allowing her to break free from his grip and rush to the door.
However, when Song's hand just touched the door, Yun Hao laughed wildly: "Hahaha, go ahead, go ahead. If you go back now, you will be buried with your Song family!"
Song's hand froze in mid-air. She turned slowly and looked at Yun Hao in horror. "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Yun Hao walked towards the Song family with a smile, his eyes full of teasing, "You don't know yet, do you? Your father angered Emperor Taihe a while ago and was ordered to go home and reflect on his actions. Recently, there have been many memorials impeaching your father. Just this morning, Emperor Taihe has ordered a thorough investigation of your father and your Song family."
Under the Song family's incredulous gaze, Yun Hao said cruelly: "Your Song family is completely finished! During the time you ran to the Marquis' Mansion to complain, a large number of imperial guards have surrounded your Song family and said 'You are only allowed to enter, not to leave'! Are you sure you want to go back to your mother's house now?"
"No! No! This is impossible! This is not true! I don't believe it!" Song shook her head frantically, not daring to believe what Yun Hao said. However, tears could not be suppressed and flowed out.
Yun Hao held Song's face with both hands and forced her to look at him. "What you should consider now is not to go back to your parents' home to verify the truth, but to think carefully about the future. Think about whether you want to live as the direct granddaughter-in-law of my Yun family, or die with the Song family as the daughter of Song Heng!"
Yun Hao loosened his hand, pushed Song who was blocking the door and walked out, leaving Song sitting on the ground in despair, feeling lost and helpless.
"Father?"
"Father, where's mother?"
"Why didn't mother come out?"
The three children blocked Yun Hao's way, but Yun Hao said indifferently, "Your mother is in the room." Then he walked away quickly.
The three children ran towards the house together.

Marquis' Mansion, Baishou Hall.
Yunying and Yunai stayed up late at night, perhaps because they had changed places or because they had someone to play with. In the end, Rong Enqing threatened them with a stern face, and the two sisters climbed into bed obediently.
Rong Enqing had originally prepared separate rooms for them, and arranged for maids and servants to take care of them, but the two insisted on sleeping together. Rong Enqing reluctantly agreed, but also told the caregivers to watch over them more at night and not let them kick off the quilt and catch a cold. It was already autumn, and the weather was slowly getting cooler.
Rong Enqing was also tired after a whole day. After the two little ones fell asleep, she returned to her room and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
However, just when she finished washing, changed into pajamas and prepared to go to bed, Nanshan suddenly came to see her and said that he had something urgent to report.
She had just seen Nanshan in the evening, and it had only been a little over an hour. Why did he come to see her again now?
Although Rong Enqing was confused, he still asked Xiu Zhang to call the person in.
"Madam!" Nanshan looked frightened, but he still suppressed his anxiety and bowed respectfully.
Rong Enqing nodded and waved to Xiu Zhang, "Go out, we don't need you to serve us here anymore."
"Yes." Xiu Zhang responded and walked out, closing the door.
At this moment, Madam Gong's voice came from behind: "Xiu Zhang? Why aren't you in the room serving the Madam?"
Xiu Zhang turned around upon hearing the voice, made a gesture to Madam Gong to keep quiet, and pulled her away, then said, "Madam is talking to Nanshan."
Madam Gong frowned slightly, "Isn't this the first time?"
If I remember correctly, every time Nanshan talked to Rong Enqing about something, he would send the people around him away. She and Xiu Zhang were no exception. This was not a good sign!
Xiu Zhang calmly changed the subject, "Didn't Madam send the Second Madam back home? Why did you come back just now? Did something happen over there?"
Nanny Gong shook her head and said, "No. I didn't stay long at the Second Madam's place. After I came out from there, I went there again." As she spoke, she pointed in the direction of the imperial palace.
Xiu Zhang understood that Madam Gong must have gone to pass on the news, so he did not ask more questions. Instead, he chatted with Madam Gong casually, "Madam, what do you think will happen to the Madam and the girls in the end?"
Madam Gong glanced at Xiu Zhang and said sternly, "These are not things we should be concerned about."
"I know. I just think that Madam is actually a very nice person, and the girls are very cute..."
Xiu Zhang hadn't finished his words yet because of Nanny Gong's warning glare, he couldn't continue.
"Don't invest your feelings in insignificant people! Not even a little bit!" Nanny Gong warned sternly.
"Mammy, I was wrong." Xiu Zhang's tone was a little difficult.
Madam Gong's expression eased slightly, and she gave another reminder, "People like us must obey orders in everything! If you want to live a good life, don't have any feelings for anyone! Do you understand?"
"I understand." Xiu Zhang nodded. This was the principle that Matron Gong had been teaching her since she started following her.
"Okay, don't think so much." Madam Gong at least said something to comfort her. "Until the last moment, no one knows how things will turn out. At least, Madam is saving herself now, isn't she?"
"Yeah." Xiu Zhang responded and stopped talking.
At the same time, Rong Enqing's face changed drastically. He looked at Nanshan in shock, "Say it again?"
Nanshan nervously repeated, "Madam, the Song family has been surrounded by the imperial guards."
"Then, is everything alright with the second house?" Rong Enqing was a little confused. Although she didn't like the second house, nor did she like the Song family, and she hated the Jiang family and Yun Hao even more, the children were innocent!
"That, I don't know either." Nanshan shook her head quickly, "I just heard that the imperial guards surrounded the Song family in the evening, so I hurried to report it to the Madam. I didn't have time to ask about the Second Master's movements."
Seeing Rong Enqing's worried expression, Nanshan hesitated for a moment and added, "If Madam Tai is anxious to know the news from the Second Master, I will find a way to help you find out."
"No need! No need!" Rong Enqing grabbed Nanshan's hand, only then he realized that Nanshan's hands were cold and trembling slightly.
At this moment, her heart was suddenly filled with guilt.
Nanshan is not even nine years old, still a child, but he is helping her do things that even adults can't do!
From the moment he helped her to gather information, Nanshan was forced to follow her step by step and get involved in this mess in the Marquis' Mansion!
She has always felt that Nanshan is becoming more and more powerful and capable, but she has never thought about whether Nanshan is willing to continue to follow her in this difficult situation, nor has she ever thought about whether Nanshan will be afraid!
