Chapter 1215 1215: The True Ruler
It was not the first time song Yao had made a mistake. In the past, Song Mian would never forgive him. Now that it was song Yao’s turn, how could he calm the others down? Once one was not angry, it was easy for one to have other intentions. It was also easy for others to incite and use them. This was not a good thing for the song family.
Song Yao had investigated Zhu Yuan three times. The first time was after Yun Xiangxiang and Song Mian confirmed their relations.h.i.+p. Naturally, he could not be careless with the people around Yun Xiangxiang. The second time, Zhu Yuan had an accident in the country of maple leaf, he had expressed his love for him. The third time before they got married.
Anyone who married into the song family or wanted to go to the song family had to go through this layer of scrutiny. So far, there was only one exception, and that was Yun Xiangxiang. This was the respect that song Mian had to give. Of course, if there was a chance.., it would be song Mian’s responsibility.
“Uncle an, no one can find out about Zhu Yuan’s situation,”Yun Xiangxiang could not help but say.
Zhu Yuan’s conditions were normal. There was nothing suspicious about her and her family. At most, they could find out that Zhu Yuan’s parents had gone abroad to develop their business. However, how was the specific business? Who Had they contacted? How could they be detailed?
Furthermore, after the business failed, Zhu Yuan’s parents had been well-behaved in the country. Finally, Zhu Yuan’s family’s first mission was to get Zhu Yuan to get close to Yun Xiangxiang. Before that, there were no suspicious signs.
And the way Zhu Yuan got close to Yun Xiangxiang, unless she was paranoid, no one would suspect her for no reason.
“The enemy is good at hiding, and that is not a reason for us to make mistakes,”song an insisted.
Now that the entire song family knew that the young madam had gone missing, the reason why they could not find her was because there was a mole, and the young Madam had been hiding in the house under song Yao’s name.
They had spent so much manpower and resources, and they had exposed so many hidden spies. If no one gave an explanation, how would song Mian and Song Chi control them in the future?
Yun Xiangxiang knew how loyal and important song an was to the song family. As song Yao’s biological father, how could he not know that song Yao’s heart was bleeding? If he could, he would try to comfort song Yao in a soft voice, he wanted to help song an get out of the haze in his heart as soon as possible.
However, the current situation did not allow it. He was the guardian of the song family, and the song family had protected them for their entire lives. They did not have to worry about food and drink, and they were comfortable and at ease. Their abilities and the things they enjoyed were all given to them by the song family.
“Uncle An, I’m the one responsible for this. If it weren’t for me, Zhu Yuan wouldn’t have had the chance to get close...”
“Young madam, even without you, she would have appeared in a different way,”song an interrupted Yun Xiangxiang.
This was a fact that could not be refuted. Zhu Yuan had long become a chess piece. Without Yun Xiangxiang, her chess piece would have played a role. Her value was to deal with the song family.
“But if it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t have been able to hide it from you guys,”Yun Xiangxiang said.
“There are no ifs, Young Madam.”Song an was unusually serious. “I know that Zhu Yuan’s goal is the song family. Song Yao is the one who investigated her. Now that he has failed to live up to young master’s Trust, he should bear the price of dereliction of duty.”
“Uncle an...”
“Okay.”Song Mian Interrupted Yun Xiangxiang. “Uncle an, you’re right. Song Yao should bear the price. This matter is not a trivial matter. Many people’s painstaking efforts have been destroyed in one day. He should indeed be given an explanation.”
“When will the young master execute the sentence?”Song an asked Song Mian respectfully.
“Call a meeting. Today. Bring song Yao Here,”song Mian Said and helped Yun Xiangxiang away.
“Ah Mian, Song Yao can’t take any more blows at this time.”Yun Xiangxiang held onto Song Mian, pleading.
“Believe me, I’ll help song Yao get over his grief.”Song Mian Kissed Yun Xiangxiang’s forehead. “I’m Going Out Tonight to investigate Tang Zhiyu and Zhu Yuan. Stay with Liu Liu for a few days.”
“You have to be careful,”Yun Xiangxiang reminded him softly.
The song family meetings were all video conferences. The execution could also be done in front of everyone. Yun Xiangxiang was not present, so she did not know what song Mian had done. Anyway, the next day, she saw Song Yao. Song Yao had been kneeling for too long, he was lying in the room with a serious knee injury.
Yun Xiangxiang brought Song Qian to visit Song Yao, but she was still worried. She picked up song Yao’s pants, legs, and lapels. She looked at his legs and arms, but there were no injuries. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Yun Xiangxiang’s face tensed up. Yun Xiangxiang did not know what to say to Song Yao, especially about Zhu Yuan.
After making sure that song Yao was alright, she was about to leave. When she reached the door, she heard Song Yao’s sorrowful cry behind her, “Young Madam!”
Yun Xiangxiang stopped and turned around to see song Yao’s bloodshot eyes with tears in them. “Please go and see Young Master!”
As she spoke, Song Yao’s tears rolled down his face. Yun Xiangxiang’s hands and feet instantly turned cold. She instantly understood everything and almost lost her balance. It was song Qian who helped her up.
She grabbed song Qian’s arm and asked, “Ah Mian... where is Ah Mian?”
Song Qian looked at the panicked yun xiangxiang and said, “I’ll take you there.”
Song Mian did not even leave the song residence. However, the song residence was so big. He sincerely wanted to hide from Yun Xiangxiang for a few days. Yun Xiangxiang might not be able to meet him yet. When Yun Xiangxiang arrived, someone came out with a basin of blood.
She almost fell to the ground. The servants wanted to bow, but Yun Xiangxiang stopped them and sent them away with a pale face. She gave song Qian a look and entered the room with light footsteps.
In the bedroom, song Mian was lying on the bed. Someone was applying medicine on him. The crisscrossing whip marks on his back Stung Yun Xiangxiang’s eyes. Some of his flesh was torn open, and there was blood seeping out. It was a real flesh wound.
Yun Xiangxiang immediately reached out to cover her mouth. She stepped back step by step and quietly left the room. Then, she ran out of the courtyard in large strides.
“Think about it. Young Master and Song Yao have been friends since they were young. They’re like blood brothers,”song Qian comforted, “Song Yao will definitely become dispirited because of Zhu Yuan’s matter. If he were to be punished at this time, he might very well deny himself. It will be very difficult for him to recover from this.”
Yesterday, Song Mian punished himself in front of everyone. It was not only to protect song Yao, but also to let song Yao know that he was needed by others. He was outstanding, so outstanding that his young master was willing to take the punishment for him in order to protect him.
At the same time, it was to let the song family members, who had been exposed by Tang Zhiyu because of this incident, see clearly what kind of flesh and blood they were following, the leader who valued them so much.
Firstly, it was to save song Yao. Secondly, it was to convince the public.
“Thirdly... it was to make sure that no one would dare to be dissatisfied with me.”Yun Xiangxiang leaned against the tree weakly, and her tears fell again.
Not everyone could see clearly like song an and song Mian. Zhu Yuan was destined to be with the song family.
Zhu Yuan was Yun Xiangxiang’s cla.s.smate. Yun Xiangxiang had once introduced Zhu Yuan to Song Yao, and that was a fact that could not be erased.
