After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Chapter 365: Han-Song war, rumors spread
Just when Song Ling'er fell ill due to Han Lingxiao's slander, the news spread like wildfire and quickly spread throughout the capital.

After the Han family learned about the entanglement between their eldest son, Han Lingxiao, and Song Ling'er, they felt that since the matter had caused a stir in the city, they might as well take this opportunity to marry into the Song family and stabilize the relationship between the two families.

So, the Han family elders came to the Hou Mansion in person to propose marriage, carrying Han Lingxiao on their backs.

Faced with the sudden marriage proposal, while Mrs. Song was still hesitating, Song Ling'er was furious. She stood up from the bed with her sick body and personally drove the Han family members out of the Hou Mansion, saying she would never marry into the Han family.

After Han Lingxiao learned about this, instead of restraining himself, he even more brazenly spread unfavorable remarks against Song Ling'er.

For a time, Song Ling'er's reputation fell to the bottom among the aristocratic circles in the capital.

Faced with such a predicament, Song Ling'er knew that she had no choice but to turn to her eldest brother, who had always been a rogue.

"Brother, I really can't bear it anymore!"

There were tears in Song Ling'er's eyes, but she tried her best to suppress her emotions, "That guy Han Lingxiao not only ruined my reputation everywhere, but also encouraged the Han family to come to propose marriage. If this continues, I'm afraid he will force me to die in this palace. Got it."

After listening to his sister's cry, Song Yunxi's eyes flashed slightly, and he comforted her with gentle words: "Don't be anxious, Ling'er, just leave this matter to me. Just rest in peace and recuperate, and see how I can restore your reputation and teach those people who don't know how to be generous." Han Lingxiao.”

The next day, Song Yunxi quietly began to make plans. On the one hand, he used the power of his connections to counter Han Lingxiao's slanderous remarks. On the other hand, he secretly investigated Han Lingxiao's true behavior, vowing to find out secrets that would disgrace the Han family.

A contest between the Hou family and the Han family, with Song Ling'er's reputation as a bet, is about to begin on the big stage of the capital.

At the same time, Han Lingxiao was still complacent, completely unaware that he was about to fall into a big web carefully woven by Song Yunxi.

And all of this will bring greater impact and changes to the already turbulent aristocratic circle in the capital in the coming days.

When Han Lingxiao learned that Song Yunxi had begun to fight back, instead of feeling the slightest fear, he laughed out loud.

He was full of disdain for Song Yunxi, thinking that how could a prodigal who wandered around the land of fireworks all day long possibly compete with him.

"Song Yunxi?" A sarcastic smile appeared on Han Lingxiao's lips, "He thinks he can teach me a lesson? He just doesn't know what to say!"

He clapped his hands, summoned his confidants, and conspired in a low voice: "Go and check for me the dirty things that Song Yunxi did in the brothel, especially the women he had seduced."

Soon after, Han Lingxiao's men got things done properly. They found several brothel girls who had had entanglements with Song Yunxi, bribed them with heavy sums of money, and had them make a big fuss in front of the Hou Mansion, claiming that they were pregnant with Song Yunxi's child, in an attempt to humiliate the Song family and further attack the Song family. Song Ling'er's reputation.

There was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys of the capital. For a while, many people gathered at the gate of the Hou Mansion to watch the excitement. The women who were dressed in coquettish clothes and cried loudly shouted obscene words, causing the Song family to fall into the whirlpool of public opinion again.

However, in the inner room of the Hou Mansion, Song Ling'er, who was on the hospital bed, remained calm although her face was pale. She held the edge of the bed tightly, looked at the anxious Song Yunxi firmly, and said softly: "Brother, this is his method. Really? I want to see how long he can continue to be arrogant."

When Song Yunxi heard this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He held his sister's hand tightly and responded in a deep voice: "Don't worry Ling'er, I will let him know that the Song family in the Hou Mansion will never be bullied. "After that, he turned and walked out of the room, preparing to face the storm ignited by Han Lingxiao himself. A counterattack related to the family's honor and his sister's innocence was about to begin.

Song Yunxi walked out of the Hou Mansion quickly and saw the women who had been bribed by Han Lingxiao crying in front of the door.

His face suddenly darkened, and he thought to himself: "This Han Lingxiao is really trying his best to find people from the places I occasionally visit to deal with our Song family."

He suppressed the anger in his heart and strode up to the women, his eyes cold but majestic. "Shut up, everyone!"

Song Yunxi's voice was clearly audible in the noisy crowd, and there was a sudden silence.

"The things you said are all lies that were used and fabricated by others."

He pointed to one of the women he had met before, and said firmly, "Although I, Song Yunxi, often walk around the market, I never do anything to bully a woman from a good family. If it weren't for the fact that you are also being deceived, I would You won’t let it go so easily.”

There were whispers in the crowd, and many people who had seen Song Yunxi's heroic deeds were dubious about his words.

At this moment, the old lady appeared at the door of the house with Jiao Niang and Brother Dong. She had a sullen look on her face and tapped the ground hard with her crutch, and the crowd immediately fell silent.

"You shameless women, get out of here! If you dare to talk nonsense here again, don't blame me for being rude!"

The old lady shouted sternly. Her majesty made the women feel fear and they scattered away.

Seeing this, Song Yunxi glanced at the old lady gratefully, then turned to the crowd and said loudly: "Dear fellow villagers, I, Song Yunxi, will definitely find out the truth about this matter and restore my family's innocence. Whatever Han Lingxiao did, I, Song Yunxi, will definitely punish." Liquidate them one by one!”

The crowd gradually dispersed and the chatter gradually faded. Song Yunxi turned around and returned to the inner room of the Hou Mansion, clenching his fists with firmness and determination in his eyes.

"Han Lingxiao, since you have taken action, don't blame me, Song Yunxi, for retaliating with tooth for tooth. Let you see the true power of the Song family in the Hou Mansion!"

At the same time, at the Han family's residence, Han Lingxiao was listening to the reports from his subordinates triumphantly, unaware that a storm targeting him was about to come.

Song Yunxi's remarks quickly reached Han Lingxiao's ears. Naturally, he was not at ease with the good-for-nothing eldest son of the Hou Mansion. However, he heard that this second lady of the Hou Mansion was very capable and now had a relationship with the Hou Mansion. It was involved, so he naturally went to pay a visit.

That night, Han Lingxiao, dressed in fine clothes, walked alone into the restaurant where dignitaries often visited, targeting Tan Zhixu who was waiting quietly in the private room on the second floor.

"I have admired the name of the second lady for a long time, and I came here today to ask for advice." Han Lingxiao pushed the door in with a bit of provocation and playfulness in his eyebrows, but bowed slightly when facing Tan Zhixu, maintaining politeness on the surface.

Tan Zhixu smiled calmly, with an imperceptible sharpness flashing in his eyes, "Young Master Han is so polite. How can I be so virtuous as to invite the eldest son of the Han family to visit me in person?"
