Song Yin almost laughed in anger. Using so-called urgent news to trick him into coming, just to save Lady Wang?

Did they really think he had lost his mind? After the divorce, the Wang Family and the Song Family became mortal enemies.

Did they truly believe he was unaware of the dark tricks the Wang Family played against the Song Family? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Even though he found himself in a leisurely position, usually flying under the radar, after the divorce, he was frequently harassed. Did they really think he didn’t know it was all orchestrated by the Wang Family?

Not to mention, because of Lady Wang, his household is now in a pitiful state. With such a grudge to end his lineage, he has refrained from kicking them when they’re down; he’s fulfilled his obligation with utmost benevolence.

How could the people of the Wang Family be so shameless to believe that Lady Wang and he still shared marital affection?

Perhaps they had heard that one day of marriage brings a hundred days of grace, but for them, their marriage was likely a curse from a past life, where one day of marriage resulted in a hundred days of enmity.

Being a man, facing these embarrassing women from the Duke Qiguo Residence, he couldn’t utter harsh words, yet he refused to be entangled with the Wang Family women here.

He merely gave a cold snort, "If this is all you have to say, then forget it, farewell!"

With that, he swung his robe’s sleeve and turned to leave.

Lady of Duke Qiguo got anxious. She had previously thought that this son-in-law lacked firmness, having a soft disposition. Seeing the Wang Family in such a miserable situation now, and hoping that he witnessed it, she, as an elder, implored him bitterly, thinking perhaps Song Yin could ransom her daughter out, not to mention anything else, making her daughter’s days slightly better.

But unexpectedly, this seemingly soft son-in-law turned out to be so hardhearted; she couldn’t help but blame Song Yin for his lack of conscience.

Ultimately, her heart’s pain for her daughter prevailed, and she hastily called out after Song Yin, "Son-in-law—"

Song Yin paused for a moment, then quickened his pace outwards, not turning his head.

Lady of Duke Qiguo panicked, raising her voice to shout, "Lord Song, Lord Song, don’t go. I really have crucial information. If you agree to ransom my daughter, I will tell you a piece of news that you definitely can’t anticipate!"

Hearing Lady of Duke Qiguo speak with such certainty, Song Yin was initially intending to ignore it, but at the prison gate, Song Wu and a stranger stood guard there, signaling him to turn his head back and stomp his feet. Song Yin turned back with a sullen face.

Was he not afraid? Although he had always been idle in his position, without some skill and wit, he wouldn’t hold steady. Naturally, he knew that currently, Song Family managed to rely on his clan brother, Duke Weiguo, Song Hong, to elevate once again, benefiting the entire Song Family.

If it was because of him that he implicated the Song Family, not to mention Song Hong would not spare him, the entire Song Family would swallow him alive.

Thus, once he received Lady of Duke Qiguo’s news, coupled with the prison guard’s attitude, he understood immediately and notified Song Hong.

As a result, Song Hong dispatched Song Wu and another person, supposedly an official from the Court of Judicial Review, following him. Though they hadn’t exposed themselves, they listened to their interaction clearly.

Turning back now, Song Yin annoyedly said, "Speak—"

Lady of Duke Qiguo was still being unreasonable, insisting that Song Yin ransom Lady Wang before she would speak.

Song Yin also got angry and straightforwardly stated, if she confessed promptly, perhaps he could send some cotton clothes inside, letting someone bring some food, making their days somewhat better.

If she continued to pester unreasonably, don’t blame him for being rude, directly telling the prison guard to invoke corporal punishment before talking further.

Lady of Duke Qiguo finally backed down, knowing very well that her family’s crime was truly unforgivable, clinging only to the last bit of hope.

Hearing Song Yin speak this way, she finally lost heart. After thinking it over, if she could exchange for some warm cotton clothes and a few meals, overcoming the immediate predicament would be good.

Bear in mind, currently, her daughters-in-law and granddaughters had opinions against her and her daughter. If she, as the mother-in-law, didn’t lower her dignity and fight for food and drink, she wouldn’t even get a bite.

Bear a few more days, not only her old bones, but even her daughter might not endure it.

Thus, gritting her teeth, she gestured Song Yin to come closer to tell the vital news.

Song Yin wouldn’t get close, standing coldly and aloof from afar, "Say it if you have something—"

Lady of Duke Qiguo took a deep breath and then spoke, "I know Lord Song harbors resentment towards my daughter, causing Lord Song to have no descendants under your knee—"
