Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Xue Lan looked at the noon sun outside, his eyes didn't even want to stay on him, and he said angrily: "At least he is a person who wants to be a prince, how can he describe him as so sloppy?"

Originally, everyone was watching jokes because of the duke's conquest, and when they were seen like this, they thought they were ruined and depraved.

Song Chengye said nonchalantly: "Anyway, I'm at home, and no outsiders have seen it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gu Qingyou who was beside Xue Lan. His voice was choked, but thinking of the purpose of coming, he insisted on not leaving. Instead, he watched Song Hengye repeat the question just now: "Are you going to the Northwest?"

Song Hengye put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Yes."

"The emperor is going to reactivate you?"

Song Chengye suppressed the excitement in his heart. Does this mean that his title can also be restored?
Song Hengye thought for a while and replied: "There are some difficult issues that I need to deal with, but it is not known whether I will be able to return to my original post after I have dealt with them."

"Unknown?"

Song Chengye was obviously dissatisfied with the answer, so he went straight to the dining table and sat down. The girl hurriedly added the bowls and chopsticks, but he didn't even look at them, and pushed them aside, filled with righteous indignation: "I figured it out. , this is to let you contribute in vain, and not give you any benefits!"

This outspoken talk, if it gets out, I'm afraid even the Marquis won't want it anymore.

Xue Lan yelled at him to shut up, and sent the maidservant out, holding back her anger and said: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. The emperor's order is like this. Can Hengye still resist the order?!"

Song Chengye knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and he didn't dare to speak back when he was scolded. He muttered, "Aren't I worthless for my second brother?"

"It's not worth it, so why don't you go for him? Maybe the emperor can restore your title if you make a contribution!"

Song Chengye was poked at the center of the matter, and looked at Gu Qingyou in embarrassment: "How can outsiders interrupt here?!"

Gu Qingyou was too lazy to argue with him, and just lowered her head to pick up the rice.

Song Hengye and Xue Lan also picked up the bowls and chopsticks again, ignoring his intentions.

Song Chengye was ignored by others, and he couldn't face it. He took back the bowls and chopsticks that he had pushed away, and ate them together. After a long time, he choked out a sentence: "Actually, I didn't mean anything else. I just thought that my father didn't just subsidize military supplies. Have you owed so much foreign debt? This time when Hengye returns to the camp, we can take the opportunity to check the previous accounts."

Xue Lan said bluntly: "So what if you take it back? Are you still thinking about asking the emperor to pay back the money?"

Now Song Chengye is completely silent. After so many things, he has long known that being with you is like being with a tiger. As long as the emperor doesn't like you, no matter how good you are, you will not end well.

Getting the emperor to pay back the money is probably even more difficult than bringing his father back from the dead!

Song Hengye sighed, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and said, "Even if the prince doesn't say anything, I will go to check the account this time."

"Why?"

Xue Lan looked at him in surprise: "Cheng Ye is confused, so could it be that you are also confused?"

Song Hengye shook his head, and his tone became cold: "Before the Duke subsidized military supplies and owed huge foreign debts, the emperor knew better than anyone else, but he refused to admit it, which really chilled the hearts of the ministers. As the righteous son of the Duke, I have a responsibility Clear the stigma off him."

Those ledgers are the best evidence, even if the emperor doesn't add a penny for them, it's still enough to silence the people. …

Gu Qingyou looked at Song Chengye who was grilling rice across the street, wondering if he would feel ashamed after hearing this, but he had an added layer of admiration for Song Hengye.

Xue Lan only considered Song Hengye's safety. During the past few months, although Song Hengye didn't talk much, in her heart, he had already regarded him as a half-son. Hearing his plan, although moved, she still advised: "Do everything according to your ability, and you need to know that the living are more important."

She understood Song Hengye's feelings for Song Lian, so she stopped talking. Song Hengye gave her a comforting look and said, "Mother, don't worry, Hengye will be careful."

Xue Lan was surprised at first, then ecstatic, followed by nervousness and bewilderment.

Just now, Hengye called her——mother? !

It was Xu's first time to be called this way, and Song Hengye also seemed very unaccustomed to it. He stood up unnaturally and said, "We are leaving tomorrow, Hengye will go back to pack the package first, everyone take it easy."

Xue Lan also got up quickly, and said in multiple voices: "Hey, I have to prepare well, the northwest is bitterly cold, so bring as much as you can!"

Song Hengye hummed, glanced at Gu Qingyou who was aside, and finally lowered his eyes, and said to no one: "I'm not in Shangjing, you~ take care of yourself."

Gu Qingyou's face became hot, and he looked away in a panic, followed Xue Lan to his feet and said, "Second Young Master, go slowly."

Even Song Chengye stood up, hooked Song Hengye's shoulder and said, "I'll go with my second brother. Once you leave, it won't be long before you come back."

Ever since it was determined that Song Hengye would not be a prince, Song Chengye's attitude towards him has improved a lot, especially now that he is about to be appointed by the emperor, no matter whether it is public or private, he is happy.

Seeing the two of them leave, Gu Qingyou whispered: "I don't think Song Chengye is as decadent as before, so he forgot Xue Lin'er so quickly?"

"Heh, a femme fatale who deserves to die, what is there to worry about?"

Xue Lan had almost finished eating, so she ordered people to remove the food and replace it with hot tea, and chatted with her daughter.

"Do you remember Cui Tao? Before that brat had a cold war with me because of that girl, I asked someone to do a little trick to scare Cui Tao. Not only did she tell about Xue Lin'er's plan to push Gu's into the water, but also He also revealed the fact that he killed Xue Lin'er and wanted to replace him, and the kid didn't say anything after hearing this, but turned around and was given poisonous wine."

"Cui Tao is dead?"

Gu Qingyou pursed her lips lightly, she was only a teenager, and she was murdered by herself before her real life had even begun, it's pitiful or hateful.

"In this feudal dynasty, human life is as cheap as grass, not to mention that girl's evil intentions are her own fault."

After all, it came from a society ruled by law. Xue Lan's words were half comforting her daughter and half comforting herself.

After Cuitao's death, Song Chengye was depressed for a while, but soon came out of the shadows, and the servants were very knowledgeable, and never mentioned the former Aunt Lin in front of him, and Tingyuxuan, where Xue Liner lived before, gradually fell into disrepair up.

"Although she is not his biological mother, since he has the mother-child status, I can rest assured that he can wake up in time. When the filial piety is over, I will find him a suitable woman and live in peace and stability!"

"How should I put it, it's all mutually beneficial. Even if you took the identity of his mother, you can help the Duke's Mansion out of the predicament with your ability. If you change to the real Xue family, even if the Duke of Qin's mansion helps you, I'm afraid you will Keep messing around."

Xue Lan's delivery stations in various places are making good progress, and they are still expanding. I believe that within three years, the two of them will be able to pay off the debt.
