Chapter 482: Sudden Visit

“Don’t worry, the Song family won’t go extinct! I’ll raise them well. When the time comes, won’t it be better to have a live-in son-in-law than to raise someone else’s child?”
Song Zhou lowered her head and took one last look at Song Jianxing before turning to bow to the county governor as she reported, “I’m unwilling to accept this child!
Because this child isn’t as innocent as Song Jianxing and the others said. He’s the cause of all of this!
If not for him, none of this would have happened today, and Madam Sun wouldn’t have lost her life!
If I raise this child in the future, every time I look at him, I’ll think of the fact that his father wanted to poison me and my daughters to death so that he could be born safely.
1 really can’t repay kindness with evil. Please forgive me.”
Song Zhou’s rejection didn’t cause much confusion and resistance. After all, no one could accept such a thing.
Moreover, Song Zhou’s concerns made sense. Eldest Madam Fang was so ruthless and vicious. Who knew if she had a lover other than Song Jianxing?
If this child wasn’t Song Jianxing’s, then…
“Alright, send this child to the orphanage after he’s born!” County Governor Tang had heard the entire story, so he naturally knew which side the general’s wife was on in this case. He naturally couldn’t make things difficult for the Song Zhou family.
Seeing that Song Zhou had rejected this suggestion, Song Jianxing finally couldn’t take it anymore and began to curse Song Zhou. In the end, he probably knew that his anger wouldn’t help, so he decided to fight to the death. He turned around and swept his gaze across the crowd. Finally, his gaze stopped on the Song family members who had come after hearing the news. He howled at the family members, “My house and shop will belong to whoever is willing to raise my son!”
As soon as Song Jianxing said this, there was an uproar.
It had to be said that the temptation was quite great. It was obvious that the Song family members were tempted. However, County Governor Tang, who was sitting in the hall, was very good at dealing with such matters.
Since he knew that Lin Suisui was protecting Song Zhou, how could he watch as the things that belonged to Song Zhou and her daughters were snatched away?
If this matter really succeeded, wouldn’t Song Zhou and her daughters be kicked out?!
Then what would he use to claim credit from the general?
Therefore, before the Song family could respond, he slammed the wooden stick in his hand on the table. “Silence!
Song Jianxing, you killed your mother and wife. You’re guilty of a heinous crime! I’m already showing mercy by letting you stay here for a moment to say a few words!
The fetus in Madam Fang’s stomach can’t be confirmed to be your flesh and blood for the time being, so how can they have the right to snatch the assets that should belong to the Song family?
“I think the method Song Zhou suggested previously is very good. One of the three girls will choose a husband to marry into the family in the future!”
With County Governor Tang’s proclamation, everyone present gave up on it. No matter how Song Jianxing struggled or cried, he was powerless to change the situation. He was gagged by the bailiffs and dragged off like an animal.
On the other side of the hall, Madam Fang was already frightened by this series of events. Her eyes were filled with despair and someone screamed that she was bleeding…
The entire county governor’s hall was in chaos.
However, Lin Suisui didn’t know about the follow-up, because when County Governor Tang announced the verdict and the entire case was settled, she had already stood up with Lu Ze and left the government through the back door.
“I think those three women from the Song family are quite impressive.” In the carriage, Lin Suisui told Lu Ze what had happened in the Song family over the past few days. Then, she couldn’t help but lament, “It’s a pity that they have such a father!”
“It’s not that bad. Things will get better in the future.” Lu Ze thought of Song Jianxing, who was about to be filmed today, and said with a smile, “By the way, the prison guard just replied that Nina has given in.”
“Really?” Lin Suisui froze for a moment before the smile on her face widened. This was good news. “Then, should we go see her now?”
“There’s no need. I’ve already instructed Pei Qian to arrange for her to be transported back to our residence.” Lu Ze didn’t want Lin Suisui to enter that gloomy dungeon again, so after confirming that Nina had really submitted, he instructed Pei Qian to bring her back.
Not long after the carriage moved forward, it suddenly slowed down. Just as Lin Suisui felt baffled and wanted to lift the curtain to see what was happening outside, Su Le’s voice sounded outside the window. “Madam, Princess Ning Fu has come to visit. The carriage is already at the entrance of the residence.”
“Princess Ning Fu?” Lin Suisui was stunned and turned to look at Lu Ze, sitting beside her, in confusion. “Shouldn’t she be recuperating in the ministry now? Why is she here?”
“Let’s go back and take a look first.” After Lu Ze instructed Su Le to speed up outside the window, he turned around and calmed Lin Suisui down. “1’11 wait for you in the inner room later. No matter what she’s here for, she won’t be able to cause any trouble in our residence.”
Lin Suisui was amused by Lu Ze’s attitude and tugged at Lu Ze’s sleeve as she suggested in a low voice, “If you have something to do, go ahead. I still have Bai Guo and Yin Qiao by my side. It’s not like I’m completely defenseless.”
“It’s fine. There’s nothing else to do now, so I’ll just read in the inner room.” Lu Ze insisted on his arrangements and had no intention of leaving.
Seeing that Lu Ze had already made up his mind, Lin Suisui didn’t persuade him anymore. After returning to the residence, Lu Ze stayed in the inner room. Separated from him by a screen, Lin Suisui changed her clothes and washed up before sitting in the reception hall while waiting for Yin Qiao to invite Princess Ning Fu in.
Princess Ning Fu looked much better than when Lin Suisui had seen her a few days ago in Duke Huai Yang’s ministry. At least, she was no longer pale. Regardless of whether she had used blush or not, there was finally some color on her cheeks.
“Princess, you should stay in the residence and take care of the baby.” Lin Suisui glanced at Princess Ning Fu. Although she didn’t take her pulse, her body should have recovered from her current state.
However, even so, it was a little difficult for her to travel in a carriage. Lin Suisui didn’t approve of it..
