Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 614: Chapter 415: Holding High Office, Moving Mountains with Ten Thousand Jin of Giant Strength! (Double Chapter)

In the Prince’s Mansion.

Song Changming explained the entire background of the incident one by one.

Now that Su Qingqing had left, there was nothing he needed to hide.

Su Qingqing’s background and what the Su Family did back then were all revealed.

"She’s the child of that Su Fengye, no wonder..." Hu Tomb shook his head after hearing this.

He somewhat understood why the Su Family created such a farce.

Now that Su Fengye has happily married into the Gu Family, the Su Family has yet another reason not to accommodate Su Qingqing.

For them, Su Qingqing is an uncertain factor that could affect Su Fengye and disrupt the hard-won connection between the Su Family and the Gu Family.

Therefore, their purpose in taking Su Qingqing wasn’t really to acknowledge her as a member of the Su Clan.

If Su Qingqing was indeed taken back to the Su Family tonight, what awaited her would be persecution, even more dangerous and ruthless than back then.

This action was also a form of retaliation by the Su Family against Xi Yanxue.

If they took it one step further, they might even use Su Qingqing as bait to lure out Xi Yanxue and resolve both mother and daughter in one fell swoop, which was not out of the question.

Hu Tomb believed that the current Su Family was capable of such things.

In this regard, the so-called Changsheng Family is not much different from ordinary noble families; family interests always come first.

But tonight, Song Changming’s obstruction, coupled with Xi Yanxue’s forceful arrival to take Su Qingqing away, deprived the Su Family of the best opportunity to persecute Su Qingqing further.

Prince Cui was actually the one who dealt most with the Changsheng Family and understood these self-important old men better than most people.

Of course, this matter could not be blamed on Song Changming.

After all, even without Song Changming’s intervention, Xi Yanxue would have already arrived with her Fox Mountain Great Demon Army. Seeing her daughter already captured by the Su Family would only make matters worse.

Conversely, Song Changming’s resolute obstruction earned them a few points of goodwill from the Fox Mountain Great Demon Envoy Team, preventing a complete breakdown from spiraling out of control.

It can only be said that this inadvertently ended up helping Prince Cui.

Therefore, Prince Cui did not overly criticize Song Changming for injuring Su Clan members tonight and even showed some protection.

"Rest assured, I will greet them, and the Su Family will not entangle with you in the future," Prince Cui promised Song Changming.

Song Changming naturally thanked him, as with Prince Cui’s promise, he now had the greatest backing on Cui Bai Dao.

Even if the Su Family still wanted to deal with him, they’d have to weigh their actions carefully.

Upon leaving the Prince’s Mansion, Song Changming found Yang Zhen and Xing Tiexin still waiting for him.

"Changming, how did it go?" Yang Zhen inquired.

He was worried that Prince Cui would punish him due to the conflict with the Su Family tonight.

The worst-case scenario would be Song Changming, who had just assumed the marshal position, being removed for offending the Changsheng Su Family.

If so, that would truly spell the end of his prospects.

"It’s alright." Song Changming replied with a relaxed expression, smiling at the two.

Although Yang Zhen and Xing Tiexin hadn’t physically helped him just now, the fact that they stood behind him against the oppression of the Su Family’s grandmaster powerhouses was undoubtedly touching.

Both Yang Zhen and Xing Tiexin were worth befriending.

Upon hearing that Prince Cui would mediate, Yang Zhen finally sighed in relief.

No matter what, having Prince Cui’s support was indeed reassuring.

"Let’s go, spend the night at my place tonight," Yang Zhen invited.

With Song Changming’s residence turned to ruins, there was naturally nowhere to stay in the city tonight, so Song Changming did not decline.

The three of them changed venues and enjoyed drinking and talking until dawn at Yang Zhen’s residence in the Second District.

The next day.

Song Changming directly used his authority to call in a hundred-man unit from the military to assist Song Ping’an in sealing and sorting out the Song Residence.

"Young master, this place is now a ruin; rebuilding it will take longer. Why not move to the Second District?" Song Ping’an sought Song Changming’s opinion.

In fact, given Song Changming’s current status, he should have settled in the Second District long ago.

No grand marshal or any other high-profile person in the military would stay in other districts; they basically either rooted in the Core District or settled in the prosperous Second District.

This wasn’t just for enjoyment and style but also for considering future achievements for the family, branch development, and expansion.

However, Song Changming didn’t have much ambition, so he never felt the need to move.

Now that his residence was ruined, he finally had a reason to relocate.

"You make the arrangements." Song Changming idly replied while playing with the Little Yellow Chicken on his shoulder.

The reason it was still called Little Yellow Chicken instead of Little Yellow Bird was that this little creature, despite its lovely wings, couldn’t fly and was more of an ornament, at best flapping a few times like a chick, unable to cross even a courtyard wall.

Last night, the residence was bombed into ruins, but fortunately, this Little Yellow Bird, resilient as it was, remained safe and unscathed.

"Got it." With Song Changming’s approval, Song Ping’an left excitedly.

Being able to settle in the Second District was a symbol of status and position, and it held different meanings.

While Song Changming wasn’t concerned about these things, as the steward of his young master, Song Ping’an couldn’t afford to ignore them.

He hoped everything around would match Song Changming’s current status, including moving to the Second District.

He had already had his eye on a place before, but since Song Changming was reluctant to move, the plans had been shelved.

Now, picking up where he left off, it took just two days to have the new residence ready.
