Chapter 728: Crazy, really crazy!
When Song Tingshan arrived, Duke Chengguo was sitting in the main seat with a sullen face, and his wife also had a cold face, but it was not difficult to see that there was a sense of enjoyment in their eyes as they watched the show.
"Kneel down!" Duke Cheng shouted angrily.
No matter what, Song Tingshan is also his son. It would be fine if it was just a normal incident, but this time, such an incident has brought shame to their Duke's Mansion.
Song Tingshan knelt down in response, knowing that he had finally been caught by the wife of Duke Chengguo, and it would be difficult for him to escape today.
"Master, calm down first. Tingshan has always been a sensible child. Maybe there is some hardship behind this." Lady Chengguogong said in a deep voice.
"Shut up! Hardships? What hardship could he have? How many troubles has he caused during this period? First he married a Miss Lin who appeared out of nowhere, then he took a concubine, and now he is actually... even having an affair with Princess Hanyang without a matchmaker. How can I explain this to Prince Duan?"
Duke Chengguo became angrier and angrier as he spoke. Even though Prince Duan was somewhat weakened by the defeat of Xiao Heyu's party, he was still the emperor's brother and had good relations with many of the princes.
"Father, I am truly innocent and have been framed this time..." Song Tingshan bowed and admitted his mistake.
He knew that there was no way to refute this. After all, even if there were huge difficulties, what happened was a fact.
Duke Cheng sneered, "Being set up? You've always prided yourself on being smart, so how come you still stumble?"
Hearing this, Song Tingshan couldn't help but clench his hanging fists.
If Duke Cheng was just criticizing, that would be fine, after all, he really had no basis for this matter.
But his sarcasm and sarcasm only made Song Tingshan feel extremely humiliated.
"Besides, who knows what bad things you have done? Otherwise, why would others frame you? Even if it was a frame, no one forced you to defile Princess Hanyang! How could you know to take the initiative!" Duke Cheng sneered and looked at Song Tingshan with contempt.
Song Tingshan pursed his lips tightly, knelt down with his eyes lowered, hiding the hatred in his eyes.
"Father, let's just forget it. I think my brother didn't mean it..." Song Hua'an spoke up and pleaded for Song Tingshan.
Who knew that the next moment, he was scolded severely by Duke Chengguo.
"What do you mean by unintentional? I think he is full of evil intentions and is determined to climb up the high branch of Prince Duan's Mansion! Fortunately, the whole city praises him as a gentleman, but who knows what dirty deeds he is doing behind the scenes!"
Duke Cheng was spitting all over the place. Song Tingshan laughed at himself and stood up: "Father, is it true that no matter what your son does, you think it is wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Lady Chengguo frowned and said, "Tingshan, you are the one who caused the trouble this time. Your father is also angry. You should not talk to him like this."
At this moment, Song Tingshan suddenly wanted to be like those people who were throwing tantrums, going crazy, yelling, and fighting without regard for the consequences, even if his reputation would be ruined and he would be beaten up in the end.
He has endured for so many years, but now, he has achieved nothing. He is really tired.
Yes, doesn’t he claim to be smart?
How did it come to this?
Song Tingshan laughed sarcastically: "Don't worry, mother. When my son got into trouble, my father blamed and scolded him without asking any questions. Does he really regard me as his son? Oh, I forgot, Song Hua'an is his son..."
The next moment, Duke Chengguo was furious and slapped Song Tingshan hard in the face.
Song Tingshan staggered and fell to the ground. There was an obvious fingerprint mark on his face and blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"This is outrageous! You yourself have done such a shameful thing, and now you are still confidently challenging me? Do you know that you have offended Prince Duan? Do you know that we in the Duke's Mansion will be killed by you?"
Duke Chengguo was so angry that he was out of breath and his face was gloomy.
Song Tingshan's ears were buzzing, and he barely stood still: "Father, why don't you think that it was Princess Hanyang who set up her son and wanted to marry him."
"Crazy, really crazy!" Duke Chengguo felt that Song Tingshan was really crazy!
Song Hua'an looked at him calmly. After all, the man in front of him was not like his brother who was flawless, gentle as jade, and full of calculations in the past.
He is more like a weak animal that has been severely suppressed, depressed and humiliated.
He could no longer maintain his previous dignity and composure and was on the verge of collapse, struggling to his death.
"Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down! No one is allowed to give him any food! No one is allowed to let him get up without my order!" Duke Cheng pointed outside the door and cursed.
Song Tingshan stood up shakily, turned around and walked out of the main hall woodenly.
He really didn't understand why the world treated him like this? What had he done wrong?
After he left, Lady Chengguo gave him a cup of tea and consoled him, "Master, calm down first. Now that things have happened, the important thing is what to do next."
"Princess Hanyang is of noble status. Now that something like this has happened, I think His Majesty will definitely personally inquire about it. Now that Tingshan's position as the principal wife is vacant, I think we will marry into the Prince Duan's Mansion."
Having said that, Prince Duan's Mansion is bound to be reluctant, but Xiao Tinglan's innocence has been ruined, and there is probably no other better solution.
Unless Prince Duan's Mansion allows her to keep a lover like Princess Guining and never get married.
At this moment, a servant came hurriedly outside the door and reported: "Master, Madam, the prince... the prince's wife is back..."
Several people were stunned: "Who are you talking about?"
The servant was also shocked: "It's the wife of the prince, Miss Lin...Lin Jingyu."
"Wasn't she burned to death?" Lady Chengguo couldn't help but speak.
The servant was also puzzled: "I asked a few more questions, and the Crown Prince's wife said that she escaped from the fire that day and was only injured. Now she has recovered from her injuries and returned."
Duke Chengguo and his wife looked at each other.
"This... What should we do? Princess Hanyang is of noble status, it is impossible for her to be a concubine."
The wife of Duke Chengguo was also a little anxious at this moment. After all, no matter how much she hated Song Tingshan, she didn't want to implicate the Duke's Mansion and herself.

On the other side, Shen Shuyi asked Jinzhu to find a lot of books about formations and read them for a while.
But this thing was so obscure that it made her dizzy.
"Mo Yu hasn't been found yet, right?"
Jin Zhu nodded: "Yes, there is no news from Jiang Li and the Marquis' Mansion."
"But Miss, do you think Princess Hanyang will marry Song Tingshan?" Jinzhu's eyes were full of gossip.
Qin Xin and the others also turned around to look over.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Maybe. Even if my teeth are broken, I have to swallow them. After all, Prince Duan's family has to have some face."
"But why do you insist on letting Princess Hanyang marry Song Tingshan?" Jinzhu didn't quite understand.
Shen Shuyi raised the corner of his lips: "Of course it is to make Chengguo Mansion more lively."
She did not have much hatred towards Lady Chengguo, nor did she hate her. They just had different positions in her previous life.
But even so, the good mother-in-law, Lady Chengguo, often scolded her.
Xiao Tinglan is domineering, full of resentment, and of noble status, so it's just right to send her there so that they can torture each other.
