Chapter Thirty-Four: Night Detective
"And what about his second and third wives?"
Song Shaoyan frowned and asked.
Song Anming sneered, "Probably the Tan family itself understands that if they marry the daughter of a high-ranking family again, and then have three long and two short, it will be difficult for them to settle it, so the two terms that Tan Zeng married later are both girls from small families in remote villages and towns, and they have given enough dowry, which can be regarded as buying a daughter-in-law, I suspect that those two families may not know that their daughters are dead now, and they think they are enjoying great blessings." ”
Qiao's was a little puzzled, "Since the Tan family married the daughters of small families in remote villages and towns before this, why do you have to find them in the lockdown now, although the Bofu is defeated, but if the daughter of the Bofu is wronged in the husband's family, she will still come to them to make trouble, even if there is no way to take the Tan family, but this is also a trouble, isn't it?" ”
Song Anming said: "It's because Tan Zeng himself is unwilling to marry a small family woman anymore, saying that they are too village and too earthy, so he has no face, as for why he wants to marry our house......"
Song Anming sneered, "With the thinking and means of our grandmother and the second master and second wife in charge, as long as the silver is enough and the benefits are enough, will they still be for the granddaughter and niece who marry, and our big house is nothing at all in their eyes." ”
Song Anming said as he spoke, the anger that had been calmed down after two days and one night rose again, he took a deep breath, and then resisted the urge to run to Rongsong Courtyard and slam the door, and solemnly said to Song Shaoyan and Fang's again: "No matter what, my sister can't marry the Tan family."
Song Anming said, but his eyes were staring at Song Shaoyan for a moment, if Song Shaoyan had the slightest hesitation, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back the anger in his heart.
Fortunately, Song Shaoyan also clenched his fists, looked serious, and said categorically: "Sister Chi will never marry into the Tan family, I will go to my mother now."
As he spoke, he stopped eating, and stood up to go to Eissun-in.
"Daddy, wait!"
Song Xiaochi immediately stopped.
Fang Shi held Song Xiaochi's hand, thinking that she was afraid, and comforted: "Sister Chi, it's okay, let your father say, this marriage is the order of your parents, we don't agree with our parents, they can't marry you to the Tan family, even if your grandmother is angry, it's useless."
At most, she will embarrass us more in the future, we have long been used to it, and we don't care if she finds more fault or less fault. ”
Fang's was really angry this time, on weekdays, she would not say this in front of Song Shaoyan Old Mrs. Song, after all, she was her husband's mother-in-law, and she always had to give her husband face.
But now, in order to comfort her daughter, she can't care about so much.
"Mother, I'm not afraid that my grandmother will be embarrassed, but just now I heard Pearl say that my grandfather's condition has worsened, and I invited Dr. Cao from Renyitang to come, but my grandmother didn't tell us about this, and it was obviously hidden, and now my father goes to Rongsong Yuan, and he must not even be able to enter the gate of Rongsong Yuan."
Song Xiaochi explained.
Song Anming came back to tell his family about this, but because Song Xiaochi's relatives were in front of him, he didn't take this matter to heart, and now when he heard Song Xiaochi mention it, he frowned.
"I didn't care about it before, but now that I think about it, they are really a little strange in their behavior, in the past, my grandfather's illness worsened, and my grandmother wanted to let us stay at my grandfather's bedside at all times, but this time I hid it."
Song Anming said while pondering, but Song Xiaochi had already roughly guessed the thoughts of Mrs. Song and the people in the second room.
"Dad, did you say that grandmother was afraid that grandfather would have a case, and my sister would follow to keep filial piety, the Tan family couldn't wait, and the family affairs would be invalidated, so I hid it, even if my grandfather really went in the past few days, he wouldn't tell us."
Song Anming observed Song Shaoyan's face as he spoke.
Before Song Shaoyan could speak, Fang was shocked by Song Anming's speculation, and she stumbled: "No...... No way? How could a mother do that? That father...... He...... Won't all be ...... on the day of his death."
"This must have been agreed to by my grandfather, heh, they really did everything for the sake of the so-called family interests."
Song Anming almost gritted his teeth.
Song Shaoyan didn't speak, just looked at his face, obviously guessed this.
Otherwise, why did you change the doctor, and the doctor of the Renyitang, there should be two reasons, one is that the medical skills of Dr. Cao of the Renyitang are better than that of the doctor of the Qu Medical Hall, if the old uncle can still hold on, it is safer to use Dr. Cao, no matter what, it will have to survive these days;
The second is that although Dr. Cao's medical skills are good, I heard that he is an open-eyed man, if the old uncle is really not good, spend some money to seal his mouth, and let him hide the real death date of the old uncle, which is more convenient to operate than Dr. Qu.
Song Shaoyan figured this out, didn't say much to his children, stood up and said: "I'll go find the third brother, if there is something wrong with the father, we can't be kept in the dark as sons."
Although Song Shaocan looks a little slippery and selfish, he actually has a much lower bottom line than Song Shaohuan, who prides himself on being noble and righteous.
"I'll go too." Song Anming also stood up, and Song Shaoyan did not refuse.
The father and son didn't hold an umbrella, only wore a thick cloak, and each carried a lantern to the third room to find Song Shaocan.
Song Xiaochi's mood was very uncertain at this time, and she didn't know what kind of result she wanted to see.
If the old uncle really can't hold on, for her now, it is actually the best situation, and she can get rid of this marriage that is very likely to kill her without much effort, without their family retreating, that Second Master Tan will definitely not be able to wait three years to get married again.
But as the granddaughter of the old uncle, her psychological bottom line can't let her expect this.
Even if the old uncle doesn't seem to have any real affection for her, she can treat him as a stranger, but she can't hope for him to die because of her own interests.
The contradiction in Song Xiaochi's heart did not last long, and more than half an hour later, Song Anming came back and did not see Song Shaoyan.
The father and son went to Rongsong Courtyard with Song Shaocan, originally thinking that Rongsong Courtyard must have a locked door and not let anyone in, but who expected that when they just arrived, the second master Song Shaohuan was taking someone to send Dr. Cao out, and he thanked him.
When Song Shaohuan saw the three of them, his eyes flashed first, and then he showed a reluctant smile at them, and said: "Originally, because it was late and it was snowing, I didn't want the eldest brother and the third brother to work hard, so I was going to guard it tonight, since the eldest brother is here, let's go together."
