Chapter 55 Expulsion

Song Ling's tone was very light, just like Xu Lingyue's impression of rejecting her words.

"I have already made a marriage contract with the woman, so I cannot accept Miss Xu's affection."

Several times, he always said the same thing, and never once showed any pity for her, even now, she knelt in front of him in a state of embarrassment, but he couldn't bear to give her even a little bit of alms.

It's ridiculous to say that at this point, the first emotion she sees in this man's heart is not anger, but anticipation, expecting him to look at her.

But after waiting for a long time, she didn't get the man's gaze, only waited for the man's cold words, "Song knows the reason for Anfu Diji's visit, but just pretend that Song doesn't know what's good or bad, and can't satisfy Anfu Diji's wishes."

Anfu Diji panicked for a moment, then forced herself to calm down again.

She squeezed out a gentle smile, "Song Ling, as long as you are willing to forgive me and Lingyue, no matter what you want me to do, I will promise you."

Song Ling lowered his eyes, and it took him a while to respond.

"Then please Anfu Diji and Miss Xu continue to kneel, and Song will go back to rest first."

After finishing speaking, Song Ling closed the door tightly under the shocked eyes of the two women, and then walked in.

Hearing the movement behind him, he raised his head and looked, his eyes softened when he saw the woman standing gracefully under the eaves.

"Yufu, why did you come out?"

A woman named Yufu walked down the steps and walked to his side. There was a long cloak on her arm, "I heard they were kneeling on the ground, should we just watch?"

The woman has a beautiful face, her eyes are like stars and moons, the only pity is that there is a big scar between her eyebrows.

"Don't worry about them, it's not that we want them to kneel." He took the cloak and walked inside with the woman in his arms.

Early the next morning, when Song Ling ordered someone to open the door to go to the morning court, he saw two women lying on the ground at the door.

Anfu Diji and Xu Lingyue knelt on the ground all night, and before they fainted, they specifically asked their attendants not to help them, in order to make Song Ling feel sympathetic when they saw their miserable appearance.

Obviously, Song Ling is not a person who is easy to soften his heart.

He didn't soften his heart, and didn't even look away to take another look.

Three days was a long time for Song Ling, but it was very short for Anfu Diji and Xu Lingyue.

The two knelt at the gate of the Song Mansion for two days, and after fainting a few times, they were carried back to the Emperor Ji's Mansion. It was already night when they woke up, and seeing that the morning court would be in a few hours, and when the imperial decree was about to be promulgated, An Fu could only bring The whole family went to the Buddhist hall and knelt down, hoping that the content of the imperial decree was just to beat a board and fine a fine of money.

However, contrary to expectations, the imperial decree came on time, and An Fu immediately fell into a coma again after hearing the decree.

In addition to her and Lingyue being demoted to common people, they were also expelled from the capital, and they would never return to Shengjing for the rest of their lives.

This is a terrible punishment for the two of them.

Staying in Shengjing, Chengde and Roukang can still help them, so that they will not be so sad for the rest of their lives.

But this imperial decree is telling everyone that these two people are hated by the emperor.

Following this imperial decree are several teams of imperial guards.

A bowl of cold tea was poured on the faces of the two fainted women. After they woke up, the imperial guards did not allow them to pack up the gold and silver, and directly escorted them to the city gate.

Qin Lin still encountered the mother and daughter being dragged out when he entered the city. After returning to the mansion, he asked the people in the mansion to know the ins and outs of this matter.

"Just for this little thing, the emperor demoted Ankang Diji and Xu Lingyue to common people and expelled them from Shengjing?"

Qin Lin looked at the maid who was replying in front of him, and his eyes were full of disbelief, "They are also siblings after all. Could it be that for a commoner woman, you don't care about half of the relationship between siblings?"

Su Jin looked around, hurriedly took two steps forward, and whispered, "My lord, even if you are in your own mansion, you should keep your voice down, don't forget that there is still an outsider in this mansion. "

"Okay, Sujin, I personally found Shui Wuyin, I don't know her details, you don't have to look at her too much, it doesn't hurt to let her sit in the position of Princess Qinghe."

"After the incident with Sister Ankang, I have to treat Shui Wuyin well. If I wait too long, won't Brother Huang doubt me even more?"

Su Jin thought for a while, then nodded hesitantly, "But you must remember, don't let her know things you shouldn't know, and there are some places in this mansion that people guard to keep her away."

……

In this matter, apart from An Fu and Xu Lingyue being demoted to common people and driven out of Shengjing, Song Ling on the other side also did not benefit.

He was demoted from office, and his chances of promotion in the future were slim.

Emotionally and rationally, he did nothing wrong, but he didn't do it properly.

It is inappropriate to let the nobles of the royal family who have not been demoted to the common people kneel in front of the door, regardless of whether they are allowed to faint.

Emperor Tianqin didn't care about the blood relationship, nor the so-called reputation, but he cared that Song Ling ignored the royal family's reputation and let Anfu mother and daughter kneel on the ground.

Since he puts his personal desires above the reputation of the royal family, he is not so qualified to be a minister.

Emperor Tianqin has no shortage of talented courtiers. His courtiers may have many problems, but no matter what they do, their original intention must be for Tianqin, to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

So Emperor Tianqin demoted his official position and threw him to a corner to let him fend for himself, and he didn't plan to reuse him in the future.

The reason why he didn't directly dismiss him was because Shen Pingxiang believed that Song Ling was a capable person, and maybe he would have novel and useful views on court affairs in the court in the future.

……

The backyard of Qinghe Palace.

Shui Wuyin was sitting in the hall wearing a light gauze white dress, her long hair was partly tied up, and a vase hairpin was attached to it, and inside the top of the vase hairpin was a pink-white flower bud that was about to bloom.

There is a charcoal stove in the house, so she doesn't feel cold even in thin clothes.

In front of him is a blue-black piano, and a red tassel is hung on the right hem.

When Qin Lin came in, he could only feel the sound of music curling up, and the beautiful melody leaked out from the woman's fingertips, flowing like clouds and flowing water, lingering around for three days without end.

He stopped and raised his hand to make the people behind him stop too.

Then he slowly closed his eyes and listened carefully to the sound of the piano.

After a while, when the sound of the piano stopped, he opened his eyes disappointedly, clapped his hands and praised, "Good song, this song should only exist in the sky, how often do you hear it in the world."

Shui Wuyin stood up unhurriedly, pursed her lips and smiled after blessing, "My lord is absurd."

The two are very affectionate now looking at the concubine's love, but the day when the intention of bestowing marriage was just made, it was completely different from now.

Although Qin Lin didn't really do anything at that time, he kept a cold face all day long, visibly unhappy to the naked eye.

It was all because Shui Wuyin had done a lot of things to become this harmonious scene today.
