The House Rules of the Song Family

  Although he believed in him, he lost the trust between father and son because of a small matter. Originally, he didn't care about his illegitimate child, but now that he had finally taken a step closer, he hadn't expected that a rift would appear in just a few short months.

  Is it just the fate between father and son?

  "When everyone was silent, Song Lingyu suddenly spoke up: 'Housekeeper, do you know what the consequences of your actions will be?'"

  The housekeeper looked up at Song Lingyu and replied: "Being driven out of the mansion."

  Song Lingyu shook his head and said, "Although you are right, but you only said part of it. You should know that this time you not only took the weapon without permission, but also framed someone who is not ordinary, he is the second young master of the Song family. According to the Song family rules, you should cut off the hand that held the weapon, be beaten with twenty large boards, and then be driven out of the house. Housekeeper, you have been in the Song family for so many years, I think I shouldn't be wrong, right?"

  The lady who had already calmed down was suddenly upset again after hearing Song Lingyu's words. She glared at Song Lingyu, furious that this girl was determined to make things difficult for her.

  The steward, who was kneeling on the ground, did not expect Song Lingyu to say it out loud in front of everyone. It should be so, but originally he thought that after all these years of serving in the Song Mansion, even if he had no merit, he had worked hard. He thought that Song Yuan would take into account his many years of service and not blame him, at most expel him from the mansion. But now Song Lingyu had brought out the Song family's laws and regulations, and it was in front of so many people.

  He understands Song Yuan's temperament, and Song Yuan can let you off the hook when no one is looking. However, if it's brought to light, for the sake of his family's reputation, he will still handle it impartially, and even for the sake of reputation, he will push you to a dead end.

  If it's really as Song Lingyu said, even if he had the silver given by the big madam, without hands, he couldn't hold things and would have to ask someone to take care of him. Adding that after being beaten with twenty large boards, he would definitely fall ill again. One way or another, how could the money from the big madam be enough? Moreover, the pain of having his hands cut off and being beaten with boards, at his age, he probably couldn't bear it anymore.

  Everyone listened to Song Lingyu's words and thought they were right, but for a moment they didn't understand what she meant, so they didn't say anything.

  Song Lingyu saw that Guan Jia didn't say anything and knew that he already had an answer in his heart, so she continued to say: "Is it better for you to speak out or not to speak out, Guan Jia, you'd better think carefully."

  Madam Song immediately opened her mouth and scolded: "Lingyu, what do you mean by this?"

  Song Lingyu turned around and looked at the madam, saying: "Mother, I just think that something is fishy. A steward who has been loyal to the Song family for so many years, how could he possibly frame my second brother over such a small matter? His monthly salary wouldn't be high, and he would also have an additional task. Tell me, who would do such a losing business?"

  Song Yuan nodded after hearing Song Lingyu's words, and it was indeed the case that he hadn't thought of it before. If it were someone else, they might have boasted about being valued for this little bit of fame. But the steward wasn't that kind of person, so how could he do such a thing?

  The steward slightly lowered his head, thinking about his life after he got old, so he chose to listen to the madam's words. But unexpectedly, because of this matter, not only did he not earn any silver, but also lost his future days in the mansion.
