Song Yixiao calmly returned to the Duke of Yan’s Mansion – she had taken the token with her before, originally to speak clearly with Old Lady Pang, wanting to see if this grandmother had the intention of using the Song family’s secret guards to deal with her own mother.
As a result, even though Old Lady Pang hadn’t seen it, Su Shaoge’s explanation made her relax: Old Lady Pang didn’t have the power to use her secret guards, which meant that even if this grandmother had that heart, she didn’t have that power!
After all, other than this bottom card, Old Lady Pang had no other means that could threaten Wei Mengying.
That being the case, the other issues can, by and large, be solved slowly.
As to whether Song Rim has genuinely repented of harshly treating his eldest daughter back then …
In two lifetimes, the expectation of a father’s love has long been extinguished in one injury and indifference.
Disappointment becomes habitual and indifferent.
Of course, confirming Wei Mengying’s safety wasn’t all without cost-this day when Jian Xu Bai came back, when he arrived at the backyard, he said with a smile on his face, “Does Second Prince Su look good?”
“But my father went to the sudden, stepmother does not know anything, many things, had to ask the same valve read after the people to ask for advice.” Song Yixiao knew that this matter couldn’t be hidden from him, and had already thought of a good speech, this time spit out, “Empress Mother’s status is honored, how can you disturb? Sister Wei is the first daughter, I think I don’t know as much as the first son. Originally wanted to go to the third uncle for advice, but you also know that the third uncle is the main examination, this is busy like what, how can I give him more trouble? I ran into Mr. Su on my way back this morning, so I stopped to take a step and have a chat.”
Said the man with a sidelong glance at his husband, “Where do you think you’re going in full view of the public?”
“I did not think where to go ah!” Jian Xubai of course is not really suspected of his wife’s infidelity, but it is just a habitual jealousy, and then laughed and said, “Is not just to ask Su Zhi Rong look good or not?”
“If it looks good again, what does it have to do with you?” Song Yixiao sat in front of the dressing table, removed the hairpin ring, picked up a jade comb and slowly combed the shoulder silk, snorted, “You have a wife and a daughter, do you still want to covet the second son of Su?”
“… “Jane Void White choked for a while before humming, “Where did you even hear such strange words?”
In the end did not mention Su Shaoge again, only said, “Qing Yue’s full week banquet, mother said that father will be sick at that time, do not come, told us to have a number in mind, do not think that father is deliberately slow us.”
Song Yixiao heard quite speechless, she and Jane Qing Yue mother and daughter on the same day of birth, the ninth of February, this is not even to February it, the Grand Princess of Jin how to know Jane Li Kuang that day to be sick?
This is obviously a deliberate attempt not to let Jian Li Kuang attend – but thinking of what I heard when I just gave birth to my daughter, it’s fine if this eunuch doesn’t come, so he doesn’t like Jian Xu Bai, nor does he like Jian Qing Yue, so maybe he’ll come and spoil the fun instead?
So he nodded and said, “Father’s body is important, and the full-week banquet and other things are just so-so, how dare I disturb his old man’s recuperation?”
The couple had a heart to heart, and it went away.
Not a few days yamen open print, but also to the birthday of the Grand Princess of the State of Jin – just the Grand Princess of both thought of the late emperor half a year ago, but also worried about the Dowager Empress Dowager’s phoenix body, not at all interested in celebrating, but early in the morning in the palace to go to accompany the Dowager Empress to talk to the evening the palace door will be falling key before coming back.
Want to give her congratulations to all in the Grand Princess House withered for a whole day, had to leave gifts in the evening to go.
A few days later, it was the birthday of Mrs. Cao, Song Yixiao family to congratulate, originally wanted to take this opportunity to test under the Mu Da . Grandma and the others, but I didn’t want Wei Mengying to come, and she invited Mu Da. Grandma Mu tried to get involved, but Mama Bo, who was the gatekeeper for her sister-in-law, said, “Your Highness thought that if she could solve the problem on her own, there would be no need to bother you, because after all, Grandma Mu is your elder. Grandmother is your elder.”
Song Yixiao had to settle for the second best, to get the words of Elder Lady Cao and Wei Chan, but Elder Lady Cao, as the protagonist of the day, was of course unable to get out of the way; Wei Chan, in the name of greeting the guests on behalf of the Elder Lady, also turned a blind eye to Song Yixiao’s hints of wanting to have a private meeting.
“It seems that even if Mother lied, Grandmother and Cousin Chan have a weak heart.” Song Yixiao looked in her eyes and wondered, “Why else would she try to avoid me?”
The Wei family’s family name is not high, even if the daughter and granddaughter are married one after another, due to their own qualifications, the children of the Wei family have not been able to get any high-ranking positions up to now. Therefore, among the people who came to congratulate us today, Wei Mengying and Song Yixiao’s family were the most honorable.
In this situation, if Old Lady Cao wanted to speak to her granddaughter alone, she would certainly leave the other guests out in the cold as a result, but it was only human nature.
In the past, Old Lady Cao would have definitely agreed.
Now that he refused, how could he not make Song Yixiao think more?
“Come back every two days!” In the end, today was Old Lady Cao’s good day, and with all eyes on her, Song Yixiao couldn’t do anything about the foreign family, so she could only silently think, “When we’re done with the full-week banquet for Qingyue-I don’t believe that this family can avoid me for the rest of my life!”
However, before Jian Qingyue turned a week old, there were two other birth banquets that were even earlier: the birth of Qingjiang Sheriff, and the births of the siblings Song Yijiao and Song Yiyao.
The good thing is that the Qingjiang County last year was mistakenly injured by the only son, after the injury fell a dizziness problem, this is not suitable for labor, but also to consider the mood of the Dowager Empress Dowager and others, naturally, will not be celebrated, the couple arrived, casually sit down, eat a luncheon also said goodbye;
The twin siblings are still in the father’s filial piety, the Song family and then the heir is scarce, this is not possible to give them a big event, Song Yi smile alone, sent a little bit of heart, and stepmother, Song Yibao said a few words, received the gift of the siblings, but also just.
This returned to the Song Mansion, Song Yixiao asked about her grandmother again, “Is grandmother not coming out this day either?”
The reason why she came here alone today without calling out to her husband or bringing her daughter was mainly because she thought that Old Lady Pang had always favored sons over daughters, and that she should show up for her only grandson’s birthday banquet, right?
Then maybe talk to this grandmother – it certainly wouldn’t be convenient to have a husband or daughter around at times like this.
Who knows that after the twin siblings gave her their greetings, they all retired, but Old Lady Pang was still nowhere to be seen!
“In the morning, Mother Lu passed on Mother’s words and had Jiao’er and Yao’er go over to Mother’s side to kowtow.” Lu explained, “As for this side, Mother won’t come.”
Glancing at Song Yixiao’s disappointed look, Lu’s mind turned and added, “About husband’s last words …”
“What last words?” Song Yi looked at her with a smile and calmly said, “Two days ago, the person underneath was not careful and burned father’s handwritten letter, I’ve already heavily punished her-as for the rest I can’t remember!”
Lu sniffed and revealed a look of shame, twisting her handkerchief and said: ”Why is it necessary for you to be like this, Miss? That was originally something that your husband wanted to give you, but if you do this, how can you ask me and Yao’er and the others to see your husband in the future? Moreover, you also know that the Song family has a lot of assets, even if you take away that part, Yao’er and the others won’t be able to suffer in the future.”
“Mother said that but she also underestimated my Duke Yan’s residence.” Song Yi smiled and shook her head, “The Duke of Yan’s residence is not a house of four walls, is not it? In addition, father has also lent mother’s hand to give me something before, last year summer, father also gave Qing Yue very rich trousseau – these I already feel ashamed to accept, if you still have to share things with younger siblings, not to mention how outsiders will look at me, I myself feel ashamed to meet people. So this matter please do not mention it again, otherwise it is tantamount to forcing me to never come to the door again!”
Seeing her resolute demeanor, Lu in the end did not dare to say more, only guiltily said, “Missy is kind and generous, but I’m left with no place to go!”
Song Yixiao really had little interest in the Song family’s property, mainly she had never had a good impression of this family, naturally she didn’t want much of the Song family’s things, not to mention that she wasn’t lacking in brocade clothes and food right now!
So seeing that she couldn’t get anything meaningful out of her stepmother, she excused herself.
This day is the fourth day of February, after returning to the house, Song Yixiao is concentrating on preparing for her daughter’s full-week banquet.
Who thought the first nine had not yet arrived, the first seven days, Song Fu even reported bad news to!
Mrs. Pang is no more!
The cause of death is the same. Death by hanging!
For this old lady’s death, know the family are actually not surprised, after the loss of a husband and then lost his only son’s grief, can not hold out is also reasonable.
But although Song Yuan went, at least left three daughters and a son down, even though Old Lady Pang has always disliked the eldest granddaughter, however, rumor has it that she is still very fond of the second granddaughter and twin siblings, so this half a year, although she has not been in front of the people to show up, we all think that she can still be good, at least there is a grandson is not it?
But to my surprise, just when everyone thought she was about to pull through, she veered off!
“Mother’s heart is so cruel!” Lu’s kneeling on the hearth, crying her eyes out, “Although Missy has already left the court, the following Yibao is only six years old, and Yijiao and Yiyao are both only three years old! Husband has left us behind, just when we need your support and guidance, you even went like this! What will a woman with three children do? I might as well go with you too. …”
She said while banging her head against the coffin, even through the mourning curtain, the “thump” sound is also heard to come to the condolence of the people’s heart.
Gu Shao wife has died, and then did not renew the string, this time he was busy with state affairs temporarily can not get out of the way, after receiving the letter first sent his daughter-in-law Deng came to help, Deng came in has not yet paid tribute, see the situation panicked and lifted the curtain in to pull her, “sister-in-law you are really confused! How can you say such things? Old Lady Pang is gone, the three children can count on you in the future, if you also take the narrow road, that is to push the three children toward the end of the road ah!”
At this time Song Yibao three united are followed by their own mother behind the curtain, they are still not quite understand what happened because of their age, but was Lu’s face full of blood by the shock, are scared wow cry, Lu heard his children crying, more and more from the sadness – a time to cry from the sky, the people think of the family’s miserable encounter, all the heart sour, several soft-hearted female family members have accompanied the tears. A few soft-hearted female relatives, has been accompanied by tears.
Song Yixiao came in to see this scene, that of course can not stand idly by and hurriedly went up to guide Lu, pacify the younger siblings.
Because Deng and other people have surrounded Lu, she first helped Song Yibao, and warmly persuade Song Yijiao and Song Yiyao, who knows Song Yibao and Song Yiyao is okay, just crying for a moment can not close the voice, Song Yijiao, but violently pushed her a hand, said loudly, “It’s all you! Grandmother has always said that you and your own mother are no good! Father must have been killed by you!!!”
