  Mrs. Song and Mrs. Su had known each other for a long time, seeing Mrs. Su in such a withered state made her feel uncomfortable in her heart, comforting her for a while didn't seem to work, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

  Mrs. Su was afraid that Old Mrs. Su would say something else to expose her shame, so she hurriedly sent off Song Old Lady and the others out of the door.

  They had just finished preparing the carriages and horses when some young servants rushed in, crying: "It's all over! Outside...Outside, Commander Chen Xiang led a group of people to surround our general's mansion, saying they were going to...to confiscate our property!"

  Chen Xiang!

  Mrs. Su was struck by the name as if she had been hit by lightning, her legs gave way and she collapsed onto the chair, exclaiming: "How is that possible?!"

  At the end of the year, even if there is a big deal, it should be postponed and calculated later. How can you besiege the government at this time?!

  Mrs. Song and Princess Zhen Nan were also shocked, for a moment they couldn't react.

  Who would have thought that just attending a banquet would lead to such a disaster as the Imperial Guards searching our house? Madame He felt her hands and feet turn cold, her face drained of all color, and she trembled with fear for half a moment before stumbling forward and crying out: "Where's my little Seventh? Is my little Seventh still outside?"

  But Madame Su had no time to find someone for her, she knelt down in front of Princess Zhen Nan: "Princess, princess, save us, save us..."

  After such a thing happened, Princess Zhen Nan was herself in a state of anxiety and did not dare to agree with her, but instead pulled her two daughters back continuously.

  Outside, the noise of shouting and scolding was endless. In an instant, more than a dozen Jin Yiwei guards in flying fish robes rushed into the flower hall.

  Chen Xiang, the commander of the Brocade Guard, walked at the front, cupped his hands and said to Old Lady Su with a somewhat insincere tone, "I'm afraid I've disturbed you," then turned north and cupped his hands again, cleared his throat, and said: "By order of His Majesty, Su Yi has formed alliances with external enemies, relied on force to bully the weak, and exploited the common people. He is hereby stripped of his hereditary title and imprisoned by imperial decree."

  Su Yi is the current Marquess of the Su family.

  Mrs. Su's hands and feet were all trembling, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to cry again.

  "Please also ask the ladies to move, so that I can fulfill my duty." Chen Xiang waved his hand, and immediately, brocade-clad guards rushed up to drag away Old Lady Su and Madame Su.

  The former superior decree, overnight became a prisoner under the stairs... Old Lady Song, despite being worldly and knowledgeable, was also shocked by this sudden change and only reacted now.

  She saw Old Lady Su being pushed and shoved, her face filled with a look of unbearable sympathy, and she called out loudly: "Magistrate Chen!"

  Chen Xiang saw that it was Old Lady Song who spoke up, and indeed, the people stopped their hands. He himself went forward to pay his respects to Old Lady Song and Princess Zhen Nan, pulling the corners of his mouth into a smile: "I heard that the Su family is holding a banquet today, but I didn't expect both aunts to be here. I have official business to attend to, so please forgive me for not being able to stay long."

  Song Chuyi hid behind Old Lady Song, and saw that Eldest Lady Su was like a wooden puppet, only knowing how to shed tears. Second Lady Su was even more so, her spirit gone, being supported by the maid. Only Old Lady Su still stood straight, without a hint of panic on her face.

  She thought of what Old Lady Su said when she saw off the guests earlier and couldn't help but feel that something was fishy. It seemed like Old Lady Su had already anticipated today's disaster...

  "Two aunts, now the house has been surrounded, it's inconvenient to go out. Why don't we wait until we finish our business, and I'll personally send someone to escort you two back home." Chen Xiang glanced at the trembling women behind him, then turned around and ordered the Jin Yiwei who had stopped: "Take them all to the next room, first rummage through everything in the backyard."

  Mrs. Su was pushed halfway when she suddenly turned her head and knelt down to Mrs. Song with difficulty.

  Mrs. Song was startled, and hastily helped Mrs. Su up, choking back tears as she said: "Between us, why must it be like this..."

  Mrs. Su's expression was calm, she grasped Mrs. Song's hand tightly and looked at Chen Xiang to ask: "I don't know the emperor's will, is it just our family that has been searched, or have all nine clans also been searched?"

  Chen Xiang did not expect Old Lady Su to ask this, and he was taken aback for a moment before responding: "The imperial edict only orders the search of the Su residence. You don't need to worry, Old Lady; the edict only mentions that Master Su is to be imprisoned by imperial decree. As for you and the other ladies in the household..."

  Mrs. Su waved her hand, looking calm despite her withered appearance, and said to Mrs. Song: "Old sister, we've known each other for so many years, I've never asked you for anything before. This time, I'm putting on a thick face and relying on our relationship to ask you..."

  Mrs. Su looked at Old Mrs. Su, and hope reignited in her eyes.

  Mrs. Song was somewhat embarrassed, she didn't know what Mrs. Su required of her and didn't dare to agree casually.

  Fortunately, Old Lady Su didn't ask her to agree first and then make the request. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Old Lady Song: "My family's Yun Xi and your family's Lin Cang were married in the same year. Lin Cang had a bad fate, and Yun Xi's fate was even worse. She only left behind Jin Xin, this one drop of blood... Now that the Su family is finished, we can't let her go down with them too. Elder sister, for Yun Xi's sake, and also for mine, please take her in for a while until she recovers from her illness, then send her back to the Chen family..."

  Chen Xiang's face was somewhat unnatural.

  Logically speaking, Chen Jinxin's father Chen Junan is still his paternal uncle.

  Mrs. Song let out a sigh of relief at the same time and felt a little heartache, thinking about it and finally couldn't bear to refuse, nodding as if in agreement.

  Mrs. Su struggled to rush over, and she shouted at Mrs. Su in a fit of rage: "Usually we are a bit slow to her, you say it's all our own flesh and blood. Now that we're in trouble, is she just a member of the Chen family? Mother, people can't be too biased! Xiangxiang and the others are also your own granddaughters!"

  Old Mrs. Su seemed not to have heard and turned around to give Chen Xiang a deep bow again.

  Chen Xiang's eyes flickered slightly, and in the end, he still supported her with one hand.

  "Your Excellency Chen, since the Emperor's benevolence has not affected my granddaughter, I wonder if you can show mercy and allow me to give my granddaughter and daughter's dowry to Old Lady Song?"

  Chen Xiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Then please trouble the old lady to hand over the list to my subordinates for verification. Once it's confirmed to be correct, I'll hand it over to Madame Song."

  Old Mrs. Su nodded: "Right, I'll send someone to take the bill and hand it over to you."

  Mrs. Su and the others were quickly taken away by the Imperial Guards, possibly because of Chen Xiang's polite treatment of Old Mrs. Su, this time the Imperial Guards' movements were much lighter.

  Chen Xiang's movements were swift, and after clearing everything up, he had someone hastily carry them all to the front hall. Old Lady Song took a look at the list and was shocked to find that there were twenty-three boxes in total.

  About an hour later, the search of Su's residence was almost done. Chen Xiang came over to apologize to Song Lao Tai Tai and Zhen Nan Wang Fei: "Today I frightened both aunts, another day I will definitely come to visit and make amends."

  The Princess of Zhen Nan and Old Lady Song both shook their heads.

  Chen Xiang then gathered his troops and escorted Su Da Lao Ye away.

  The Princess of Zhen Nan and Old Lady Song exchanged a glance, both somewhat at a loss for words.
