Qi Lanyue hanged herself in her boudoir on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and no one found it, and it was not until the early morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year that the girl who delivered the meal found out. After repeated inspections, the government reported that there was no suspicion of homicide in Qi and asked Qi to bury the person as soon as possible. But Qi Mansion was stunned and refused to bury people, and then moved his family to Song Mansion, asking Song Mansion to bury Qi Lanyue in the ancestral tomb of the Song family as Song Han's continuation, and asked Song Han's son Song Nianzhi to wear a filial piety basin for Qi Lanyue, and her daughter Song Rumu needed to be inherited under Qi Lanyue's name.

This news undoubtedly hit Song Han's heart hard, he didn't expect that his unintentional move would lead a woman in the mood for love to a dead end. But there is a kind of insistence in everyone's heart that belongs to others that cannot be shaken, and Song Han's insistence is to hold on to the pure land in his heart forever for his deceased wife Song Han, and to pay tribute to and remember the loving days when the two of them were getting farther and farther away.

It was in such a mood that when the Qi Mansion came to the door to ask that Qi Lanyue be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Song family as Song Han's continuation, Song Han did not show humility and generosity as before, but refused the Qi Mansion's request with a cold attitude, and let the Qi Mansion cry.

For this seemingly unreasonable request, after discussion, several heads of the Song Mansion unanimously agreed and decided to let Song Han recognize this secret marriage. So Song Han, who was insistent, reprimanded angrily, and asked several masters in person why they made such a reckless decision? This kind of decision that is equivalent to acquiescing in Qi Lanyue's suicide because of him? Has everyone forgotten that Qi Lanyue committed suicide by hanging herself half a month after returning home?

The heads of the family first thought that the Qi Mansion was also a well-known family, which could be regarded as an excuse for the neighbors of the Song Mansion, and said that even if it was not for these, since Song Han was a court official, he should also pity his reputation, right? After Wanyan persuasion failed, he indirectly explained to Song Han that the Qi Mansion was willing to use one of their manors in Mocheng as Qi Lanyue's dowry, and that manor happened to be located in the middle of several manors in the Song Mansion, separating the contiguous fertile fields of the Song Mansion into two sections.

A secret marriage is exchanged for a good land.

Seeing that several family heads asked him to recognize this secret marriage in unison, and his father's words had no effect on several family masters. Song Han was struggling. Jin went against his will, betrayed the former mountain alliance between himself and his wife, and wronged a pair of children; Retreat once again becomes the rebellion of the family, putting the interests of the family at risk.

Song Han was drunk. After several family heads raised the question of the two sisters and brothers of the Song family, Song Han was drunk and lay in the room. He didn't understand why fate was so fond of playing tricks on him, first taking the life of his beloved wife, and now asking him to marry a woman who couldn't even remember her face. This is not what he wants, he just wants to keep his beloved alive and live peacefully.

Father's past and present pain. Song Rumu has always seen it in her eyes, and she can understand and better understand Song Han's natural dedication and pursuit of love, which will make him more painful than others.

Gently lifting up the crooked wine bottle on the table, Song Rumu moistened her hand towel with warm water, and silently wiped her father's still handsome but vicissitudes of life.

"Xiu'er, let's go, get out of this house. I'll take you into Beijing and take you to see the beautiful scenery of the world......", Song Han, who was completely paralyzed by alcohol, held Song Rumu's small hand and said vaguely.

A feeling of heartache spread to Song Rumu's whole body. She regretted a little that she let Lu Yixuan wake up Song Han that night, and regretted that she was obviously a stupid person but forgot her low-key principles to publicize her so-called cleverness.

"Mu girl, how is your father?" Just when Song Rumu looked at Song Han in a trance, Mrs. Song walked into the room with the support of the fourth aunt, and stopped Song Rumu, who wanted to get up and salute, and said worriedly.

"It's not good, the doctor said that my father must not drink anymore, but now my father is drunk every day, and if it goes on like this, Mu'er is afraid...... Grandmother. Mu'er is afraid that if this continues, Mu'er and her younger brother will have no father after losing their mother, and you and your grandfather will also send white-haired people to black-haired people again" After saying it in one breath, Song Rumu knew that Old Madam Song would be furious. But she just waited for Mrs. Song to make a choice, to see whether she chose Zhuangzi or her son Song Han's life.

"Bold...... It's not even the first month, and you dare to say such unlucky things, where is your usual well-behaved energy? "Old Madam Song didn't expect Song Rumu to say the possibility, but now Song Rumu said it. But the pain in my heart was as if I had been hit by a hammer, and I couldn't help but scold Song Rumu who said this.

After a long time, in Song Han's groan, Mrs. Song came back to her senses, looking at Song Han on the kang for a few days, she looked haggard and imhuman, and then thought about Song Rumu's words, Mrs. Song could no longer say superfluous words, only a sentence "white-haired people send black-haired people" stirred back and forth in her heart.

I saw my granddaughter Song Rumu with an extremely gentle appearance, wiping away the sweat oozing from her face for her son Song Han little by little. Old Madam Song smiled, with tears in her laughter. Thinking that many years ago, like Song Rumu, she guarded her sick son all night, and now that her son has his own children, and the children are sensible and filial, she should let go completely.

Raising her eyebrows, Mrs. Song clenched the cane in her hand, and made up her mind to say to Song Rumu, who was secretly worried in her heart: "Grandma understands, your father's body is afraid that he can't stand the toss anymore", Mrs. Song sighed, and her well-maintained hands were extremely painful to stroke her son Song Han's frowning brows, and then said to Song Rumu beside her: "Grandma is wrong, the bowl of soup you made for grandma today, do you want to tell grandma that grandma forgot that your father and a well-behaved daughter like you, And you're old enough to take care of your father."

"Grandma, Mu'er didn't mean that! Mu'er just wants to express her filial piety for her father and mother," Song Rumu didn't understand why Mrs. Song suddenly talked about this, she made that bowl of soup in fact, she just wanted to help Song Han's fulfill a wish. But that's not the point, the focus now is how to solve the trouble of this heavenly general, how to get Song Han out of here as soon as possible, so that Song Han will not really fall completely.

"Alas...... It seems that when this person really has good intentions to do bad things, grandma is not good, and let your father suffer this undeserved! Mu Yatou follows your father to study all day long, what do you think about this? As if she wanted to see the adopted granddaughter in front of her, Mrs. Song asked Song Rumu unexpectedly.

"......" silence? Erupt? For the sake of her father Song Han, she Song Rumu is willing to do anything.

So after a short silence, Song Rumu said with the mentality of taking a gamble: "Although Mu'er doesn't know what a secret marriage is, she also knows that Miss Qi is dead. Now that he is dead, how can the dead man marry the living? Father's body is not healthy, and after this life-bending, I'm afraid Mu'er can't bear it, and grandma, you can't bear it, right? ”

Old Madam Song nodded stunned, and listened to her granddaughter Song Rumu say again: "Since Miss Qi committed suicide. If grandma really wants to save her father, she might as well send someone to listen to it, maybe there will be unexpected effects. Mu'er also listened to Cousin Ruixi. Miss Naqi had a fiancé, and she was also a brave man who died in battle. The fiancée of such a person, not to mention that her soul has returned to the West, is alive, how can her father, who is an official of the imperial court, marry? ”

Song Rumu, who usually says a sentence or two intermittently. Now that it is contrary to the usual tirade, when Mrs. Song listened to it, she was secretly happy that Song Han had accepted this girl back then, so after Song Rumu finished speaking, Mrs. Song lowered her head and said: "What Miss Mu said is good, every sentence is to the point, and it is all something that grandma didn't think about before." In this way, Mu girl, listen well, grandma will only explain these words to you alone", seeing Song Rumu nodded obediently. Mrs. Song said: "You don't care about this matter, you just take care of your father wholeheartedly, and let people start to pack up and prepare to return to Hangzhou at any time." But until it's settled, your father can't tell the truth about it...... Grandma is afraid of sending black-haired people like you said! Since he was afraid, the old bones of grandma were ...... out. ”

Mrs. Song's words were enough to shock Song Rumu, how much courage does it take for a woman to fight against a family for her son? Because Mrs. Song was too excited, it took Song Rumu a long time to figure out that Mrs. Song was deliberately trying to make Song Han think that the matter had been resolved. Go back to Hangzhou with peace of mind first, and then she will slowly solve it here.

This night, I'm afraid that Song Rumu has come to one of the few sleepless days in this world, and she doesn't know what her bet is. I don't know where this line will go in the future, she only knows that no matter how much Mrs. Song pays attention to the interests of the family, she can't compete with her heart as a mother.

After waking up the next day, several family masters did not send people to summon Song Han as usual, and the Qi Mansion did not make trouble in front of the Song Mansion as usual, but the old lady Song personally brought her aunt to Zhang Luo Song Han and the others' luggage. And Song Han, who woke up with a hangover but refused to say anything, spoke in the room for nearly an hour.

On the night of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Song specially called Song Rumu to her eyes and instructed her, saying that she had already told Song Han about it, and Song Rumu, who knew it, bowed silently and said goodbye.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, a day when the centuries-old tradition of the Yellow Calendar was conducive to going out, Song Han, who thought that the matter had been solved but was haggard, was finally able to take the Song sisters and brothers on the carriage back to Hangzhou.

The carriage went all the way to Jinan Mansion, and Song Hao, the second uncle who had previously picked up people in Jinan Mansion, sent the group to the dock of Jinan Mansion as usual, and only said to Song Han with a shameful face when he got on the boat: "The second brother apologizes for your second sister-in-law and the third brother." ”

Song Han faced the second brother who bowed and saluted, and said ashamedly: "If the second brother has a heart, then ask the second sister-in-law to go and put incense for the third brother when she is incense for Miss Qi!" ”

Song Hao's face flickered and said, "This will naturally, naturally." ”

The wheel of fate continues to roll forward, and no one in the world knows which direction it will roll, so everyone in the world has worked hard to live, hoping that through this effort, fate will favor them extraordinarily.

Standing on the ship that was galloping to Hangzhou, Song Rumu knew the secret that she shouldn't know, and felt extremely depressed in her heart, so she held the cold railing in her hand hard, and when there was the sound of earth-shattering firecrackers along the coast, Song Rumu shouted "ah......" to the sky.

Song Rumu's shout to vent her emotions attracted Song Han, who had been hiding in the cabin after getting on the boat, to go out of the boat to watch, and even attracted Lu Yixuan and Song Nianzhi to run over and ask what was wrong?

Song Rumu, who realized that she had more secrets than anyone else, and that no matter what she had, Song Rumu, seeing everyone's overflowing concern, decided to bury the secret in her heart forever.

After thinking about it, Song Rumu in the cold wind smiled as warm as before, and even had the courage to naughtily take his father Song Han's hands and smile at his father: "Daddy, this is very comfortable!" If you don't believe me, you can also shout and try. ”

Song Han tried to yell at the sky with a doting mind, but after years of reserve, Song Han couldn't shout, and only coped with a small "ah". On the contrary, Lu Yixuan and Song Nianzhi shouted very happily, and after tasting the sweetness, they surrounded Song Han with Song Rumu, wanting Song Han to spit out the unhappiness accumulated over the years.

Maybe it was the cheerful atmosphere that made Song Han completely relaxed, or maybe it was really too depressed in his heart, under the urging of the three of them, Song Han finally raised his head and let out a shocking roar.

The boatmen, who usually like to roar when they have nothing to do, laughed at the family's actions, and then couldn't help but start yelling with the crowd.

I'm tired of roaring, I'm tired of laughing...... Song Rumu decided to forget all the unhappiness that happened in the Song Mansion and forget the life that had passed. Because she understands that this is life, doesn't she? No one wants to pay unconditionally for a stranger's suicide, even if the stranger is nominally costing Qingqing's life for him or her.

And all Song Rumu can do is to hold his father's hands, let him dare to yell at the sky when he is in pain, release all the pain, and embrace the joy of life!

This kind of "roaring and screaming" is the most primitive way for human beings to vent their pain, but it is also the most useful way, so when the ship arrived at the Wangjiangmen Wharf in Hangzhou, when the father Song Han smiled and greeted Mama Song, who had completely let go of her worries, she threw herself into Mama Song's arms with a cheer.
