CHAPTER XXXIV
Within two days, word came out from the Yuncheng Mansion that the rumors of Song Qiuniang and even the sisters of the Song family that came out before were all false, but Deng Fenning, the young lady of the Deng family, would be mistaken, and was accidentally heard by people with ulterior motives and spread it again. Song Xianiang, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion, was injured, but she had a dispute with Deng Fenning and was scratched by Deng Fenning's hand.
This explanation, although it is to return the innocence of the Song family, but the Deng family is also careless, Deng Fenning's actions are all unintentional, and it can be said that the crime is extremely small.
Song Dongniang was so angry that she slammed the table and shouted: "What a broken official mansion!" is clearly biased in favor of the Deng family! I'm embarrassed to be called a parent official, I think it's almost the same as the parent official of the official family! ”
"Since ancient times, officials have protected each other, fourth sister, are you the first time you know? Such a shouting is a headache. Song Xianiang leaned on the recliner, her eyes slightly closed, and she looked cold and indifferent.
After a few days of raising in the academy, her body is no longer in serious trouble, and the scars on her face are also scabbed, and she is not afraid of seeing the wind, so she moved back to the Song family yesterday.
Early this morning, Song Qiuniang and Song Dongniang came to see her, and they stayed for a while.
Song Qiuniang looked at her second sister's haggard appearance, and hurriedly said with concern: "Second sister, are you uncomfortable?" Why don't I call the doctor? ”
"No, you don't." Song Xianiang waved her hand, "All the diseases that can be cured have been cured, and the rest are not curable, so it's useless to call someone to come." ”
Song Qiuniang snorted and choked up: "Second sister, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be hurt, it's all my fault......"
Since the morning, Song Qiuniang has been apologizing, and Song Xianiang is tired of listening: "Don't apologize anymore, apologies can't change the facts, besides, I did this not only for you, but also for the reputation of the Song family, and for myself." Don't always take it on yourself. ”
Song Qiuniang was still sobbing: "Second sister, I know you are hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, otherwise you wouldn't be the first to rush to the front, if you don't do it, no one will say that you are not......"
"That's it, second sister, I'm really impressed with you this time." Even Song Dongniang echoed.
The two younger sisters said so sincerely, and Song Xianiang couldn't say anything cool, but if she wanted to continue, she couldn't help but comfort her, especially Song Qiuniang, who loved to cry, couldn't coax her.
After thinking about it, Song Xianiang asked a different question: "How has the Meng family reacted in the past few days?" ”
Song Qiuniang's rumors have been clarified, and the previous reasons for withdrawing from her family are no longer valid, so the Meng family should have an expression.
Song Qiuniang lowered her head and said in a low voice: "What else?" There's no going back. ”
"Oh?" It sounds like the Meng family regrets it, and Song Xianiang finally found something that makes her temporarily forget her troubles and depression, "Is the Meng family here?" ”
Song Dongniang snorted, "Meng Tan has been kneeling at the door for two days, begging to see the third sister. Why did you go so early! ”
"Meng Tan is here to talk about family affairs? Why didn't the third sister see him? ”
"Aren't you here to talk about family affairs? Rumors spread before, and their family fell into the well to withdraw from their relatives, but now that they have clarified it, they are talking about family affairs again, where is such a good thing? Song Dongniang said with righteous indignation, "Third sister, you must not be soft-hearted, do you know?" ”
Song Qiuniang glared at her, "How can I be soft-hearted?" If it weren't for their family not believing me, why would they cause so much trouble? Where can I marry him peacefully? ”
Song Xianiang's eyes rolled, and she decided to tell Song Qiuniang the truth: "If I say that Deng Fenning was exposed this time, thanks to Meng Tan, do you still have a grudge against him?" ”
"Huh?" Song Qiuniang was stunned, why was Meng Tan still involved in this?
"Do you think Lord Zhou was so easy to invite? When you encounter this kind of thing, it's too late to hide, so why do you still send it forward? Song Xianiang's eyes showed disdain, "If it weren't for Meng Tan, who took advantage of his father's old affection and begged again and again, I'm afraid that we wouldn't be able to see Lord Zhou's face, let alone ask him to testify together." ”
"What's going on? What is the relationship between Meng Tan and Lord Zhou? Song Qiuniang was puzzled, and a trace of inexplicable anticipation suddenly rose in her heart.
"Meng Tan's father was the master of the government before his death, and he died in the line of duty, Lord Zhou owed the Meng family a love, Meng Tan carried his mother behind his back, and personally begged in front of Lord Zhou, and it was his father's love to invite him." Song Xianiang looked at Song Qiuniang's face as she spoke, "Actually, Meng Tan has also made a lot of efforts, and I still have affection for the third sister." ”
Song Qiuniang lowered her head, "But if he hadn't made a fuss about quitting his family before, he wouldn't have hurt his second sister, no matter what, I can't do anything with him." ”
"As far as the matter of quitting his relatives is concerned, he really did something wrong, a man, he has no opinion and completely obeys the will of the family, and if you want to marry in the future, he can't protect you."
Song Xianiang remembered that Meng Tan had mentioned his mother's dissatisfaction with Qiu Niang before, and he had to withdraw from his relatives despite his son's wishes, so he must be a strong and strong person at home.
Song Qiuniang sighed, "Whether he is right or not, it has nothing to do with me." ”
"No matter what, he also helped. If the third sister is really boring to him, she should make it clear to him, right? Song Xianiang blinked.
"That's it, otherwise he wouldn't look good when he always kneels at the door of the house." Song Dongniang rarely said something opportune.
Song Qiuniang hesitated for a moment, twisted the handkerchief in her hand for a while, and then made up her mind, "Okay." I'm going to go and tell him about it. ”
A hint of urgency flashed in Song Xianiang's eyes: "Well, it's good for everyone to solve it early." ”
Song Qiuniang said to go now, and another day or two passed in her entanglement, and it was only in the afternoon of the second day that she took this step.
"Third Miss, why did you come out?" The mother-in-law guarding the door was very surprised when she saw Song Qiuniang, who was not out of the door in Su Ri.
Song Qiuniang's face turned red before she could speak, and her voice was as low as a mosquito buzzing, "Go out, there's something wrong." ”
The gatekeeper wanted to ask a few more questions, but Song Qiuniang ran away.
"It is estimated that it was caused by rumors, and the third lady seems to be even less daring......"
The gatekeeper muttered, sat down and took a nap again, and didn't look at where Song Qiuniang went.
"Miss, why don't we call Meng Gongzi to the mansion to talk." Cui'er thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate to go out rashly, "The old woman of the second gate doesn't know what we are going to do, but the little guy guarding the gate knows that Meng Gongzi is kneeling at the door, if he sees us going out, maybe it will be rumors again." ”
Song Qiuniang twisted her handkerchief and bit her lip, "No, let's make it clear at the door, if someone passes by, they can also testify on their behalf, I just want to break up the relationship with the Meng family." ”
The master spoke firmly, and Cui'er sighed, "Okay then, miss, let's make a long story short." ”
Song Qiuniang said faintly: "Do you think I have anything to say to him now?" ”
Outside the gate, Meng Tan knelt down, and the cool autumn breeze hit him, looking so bleak.
"Meng Gongzi, you better go back quickly, our young lady won't see you." The little guy at the door had been persuading him for days, and he still came every day.
"No, I must see Qiu Niang and make it clear to her." Meng Tan's face was resolute.
With a "squeak", the door opened, and a woman walked out.
"Three, three misses?" The gatekeeper saw that it was Song Qiuniang, and his mouth was wide open.
"Junior, come here, I'll tell you something." Cui'er beckoned and motioned for the janitor to stand to the side.
The janitor glanced at Song Qiuniang and Meng Tan, and immediately walked over cooperatively. Directly in front of the gate, only Song Qiuniang and Meng Tan were left.
The moment Meng Tan saw his sweetheart, he stood up unconsciously, wanting to get closer, but he was afraid of being abrupt, so he had to stand in place and screamed stupidly: "Qiu Niang, you, are you okay?" ”
Song Qiuniang's eyes turned red, "Are you embarrassed to ask?" Why didn't you ask this sentence when the rumors were raging before? ”
Meng Tan's heart tightened, "Qiu Niang, I'm ...... I'm sorry for you! It's because I'm too cowardly to let you suffer so many grievances! ”
"Since you know you're sorry for me, why are you bothering to come? Aren't they all making people quit their families? We don't have anything to do with it anymore, Meng Gongzi, please go back! I never want to see you again! Song Qiuniang rarely said cruel words, and after holding her breath without stopping, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Qiu Niang!" Meng Tan couldn't help but take two steps forward, "Don't go." ”
Song Qiuniang turned around, "Master Meng, we don't have a relationship anymore." Please don't call me that again! ”
"Qiu Niang!" Meng Tan insisted on not changing his title, "I was wrong before, I admit my mistake to you, but my heart for you is true, and I have never changed, can you give me another chance, I will not let you down again!" ”
Song Qiuniang listened to Meng Tan's confession, unconsciously blushing and heartbeating, that throbbing feeling made her deeply scold herself for being cheap, and took a deep breath before saying again: "Meng Gongzi! This incident not only involves the two of us, but also our Song family, my second sister, do you think I can ignore my second sister's feelings and marry you? ”
"Second Miss said that she doesn't mind......" Meng Tan thought he saw hope.
"She doesn't mind, I do!" Song Qiuniang raised her face suddenly, "Do you know? My second sister's company was destroyed and can never be restored, every time I see her, I blame myself incomparably, why did I hurt her? How can I compensate her for the mistakes I made? ”
"Qiu Niang ......" Looking at Song Qiuniang's extremely self-reproachful expression, Meng Tan was distressed, "Let's compensate her together, okay?" If she is left alone in the future, we will take care of her together? Good no good? Let's return her favor together. Qiu Niang, please, give me a chance, let's two of us together, let's compensate the second miss together, okay......"
Since Song Xianiang came back, Song Qiuniang has been extremely tormented in her heart, every time she sees her, she has to increase her sense of guilt, but she can't do anything and can't do anything.
Since she was born, Song Qiuniang has never felt such a deep sense of powerlessness, and that feeling simply makes her extremely disgusted with herself.
Meng Tan's words were like a small hammer, beating open her suppressed heart, and seemed to point her in a direction, if she can't do something, you can find someone to work with, and the two of them can always make some compensation for Song Xianiang, right?
