Because there was no word on the envelope, Song Yixiao thought it was written by Lu when he received it, but after opening it and reading the payment, he knew that it was written by Song Yuan.

In other words, it is Song Yuan's masterpiece.

After confirming the payment and date, Song Yixiao's hand holding the thin letterhead subconsciously shook slightly, and he continued to read it after settling down-

The letter was not long, and it was over in a few lines.

So she finished reading it quickly, and between her eyebrows, she suddenly showed a touch of disappointment and a little relieved.

Mainly because Song Yuan's letter did not mention a single word about things like capsizing and valleys during the summer vacation last year.

He was just apologizing to his daughter.

The indifference, murder, harshness, alienation, and partiality of Song Yixiao over the years...... He made a very sincere confession and asked for his daughter's forgiveness.

The reason why he didn't say it in person, Song Yuan said in the letter that he was not unable to save face, but because he was afraid of rejection.

After all, he knew how cruel and unqualified his father was to his eldest daughter.

And Song Yixiao doesn't need him so much now-although Xie Yiren and others heard that the Song family's father and daughter were reconciled, they were all happy for Song Yixiao, thinking that it was always good for Song Yixiao to have her mother's family to rely on.

The problem is that Song Yixiao is still very affectionate with her husband so far, she is so young, how can she not continue to have children in the future? After having a son as a backer, even if people are old and decrepit in the future, Jian Xubai will change her mind, but as long as Jian Xubai still admits the default rules of the world, she is the wife, her son is the son-in-law, and the Yanguo Mansion is still her and her children after all.

Even if the glory of the Song family's ancestors left behind a wealth that the Yan Kingdom Mansion could not match—compared to Song Yixiao's current situation, these are just icing on the cake!

How can the father-daughter estrangement between her and Song Yuan be resolved by this level of overture?

Yes, Song Yuan hesitated for a long time, but in the end he didn't muster up the courage to tell his daughter these words in person, but chose to put them on paper and send someone over privately.

At the end of the letter, he said that he divided the ancestral business into six parts, Song Yixiao and Song Yiyao each got two shares, and Song Yibao and Song Yijiao each got one share. Song Yiyao got double shares, of course, because he was the only male heir of the Song family, and Song Yixiao was treated the same as this younger brother because of Song Yuan's compensation.

Song Yuan repeatedly begged her daughter to accept it, so that she would not have a bad conscience for the rest of her life.

Song Yixiao pinched the letterhead and was silent: since Jin Xun returned from Cuihua Mountain, she had fallen into a daze.

I thought there would be some clues in this letter to reveal the truth - I didn't want to, but I didn't.

It's just that if the truth is really that cruel, it's actually a good thing to have no clues.

She put the letterhead on the case, took off a bracelet and pressed it, and gently asked her sister who was hurriedly putting down the red bean cake: "I don't know what my mother asked you to bring me?" ”

"Mother said that this letter was found when she sent someone to Cuihua Mountain a few days ago to pack up my father's relics." Song Yibao wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, sat up straight, and then said in a milky voice, "When my father was injured, my grandmother first accompanied my mother back to the imperial capital, and my mother was sick because she dragged her off in Cuihua Mountain for a few days. It's just that I was in a hurry when I left, and I didn't take all my father's things with me. Two days ago, my mother thought about it and ordered someone to go again before she saw the letter. ”

"Speaking of which, when my father was injured, I didn't receive any news, so I didn't visit." Song Yixiao's eyes flickered, and he asked softly, "I don't know which leg my father injured at that time?" Does it hurt terribly? ”

"I don't know." Song Yibao was stunned when he heard this, and said, "I also want to see my father, but my grandmother's mother said that my father was injured and it was not easy to disturb." So I can only accompany my mother - and the third sister and the fourth brother! ”

Song Yixiao carefully observed this sister's expression, no matter how shrewd the six-year-old child is, it is limited, according to her inference, Song Yibao does not seem to be lying, so, if Song Yuan did not die in Cuihua Mountain, and the Song family hid the truth for some reason, that is, the Lu family mother and daughter were all deceived by Mrs. Pang?

It's not impossible to think about this - after the ladies of the Hengshan Royal Mansion overturned while swimming in the lake, they were worried that their father and stepmother would face each other, so they specially sent Jinxun to the Song family's summer retreat to inquire about the news.

In that kind of situation, even if he couldn't keep up with Emperor Xianjia's brigade in the capital, even if he returned to the imperial capital later, he probably had to lie down for a few days, right?

In other words, the Lu family should not have been able to visit Song Yuan who was "recuperating" in person at that time - even if she struggled to get up out of concern for her husband, Mrs. Pang could easily stop her with a sentence of "don't be sick and give it to Yuan'er".

And although Song Yibao was good, he was also stopped by his grandmother's people: doesn't this mean that Song Yuan's mother and daughter were unable to see him with their own eyes during the whole process of moving back to the imperial capital Song Mansion to recuperate from his injuries after breaking his leg in Cuihua Mountain?

Although when Song Yixiao went to mourn, the Lu family once said that he deliberately did not tell the Yanguo Mansion about Song Yuan's injury, but Song Yixiao thinks about it now, this stepmother is estimated to be able to get up soon and take care of herself, so it should be just a kind word.

"Cuihua Mountain...... What happened? Song Yi smiled and groaned, "How could grandmother hide even her stepmother?" My stepmother shows favor to me again, she is my father's wife after all, how can she also stand on my father's side! How could my grandmother not know this? If she doesn't tell her stepmother the inside story, she will inevitably not be able to rely on the power of the Lu family! Of course, grandmother can ask Gu Xiang for help, the question is...... The problem is that Gu Xiang has not moved for most of the past six months? ”

Two days ago, when she speculated that her biological father was likely to die at the hands of her biological mother, she asked her husband about Gu Shao's actions in the past six months, and found that there was no intention to target the Hengshan Mansion or the Yanguo Mansion.

Thinking about it, no matter how good Gu Shao is to Song Yuan, it is impossible for him to ruin the rest of his political career for the death of this nephew.

After all, how many years did he wait for this opportunity?!

Now that the new monarch has just ascended the throne, he has a lot to worry about, even if he knows about Song Yuan's death, he may not be able to spare this effort!

For example, his grandson Gu Tongyu's wife, Lu Hai'er, has not been crazy for more than half a year, so it can be seen that Gu Shao invited King Hengshan to have tea and play chess, and mentioned this matter?

"Could it be that Grandmother is waiting for Gu Xiang to make time?" Song Yixiao felt that this was impossible, "Lu Yicheng, as a subordinate official of His Majesty when he was in the East Palace, is now serving as the secretary of the Criminal Department, although he is at the same level as the prince guest he served before, but the qualifications are there, who dares to underestimate them?" According to my grandmother's personality, if I think that my mother is the enemy of killing my son, I am afraid that I can't wait for a moment, and I just think that it is good to kill my mother one day earlier. The Lu family's help, why doesn't she need it? ”

Speaking of this, I caught a glimpse of the letterhead on the case out of the corner of my eye, and suddenly remembered that I was only pregnant with Jian Qingyue, and my stepmother Lu also sent something on behalf of Song Yuan.

It was a brocade box, containing a lot of silver tickets and deeds, but what Song Yixiao couldn't understand the most was the token that was simply said to be related to the secret guard handed down by the ancestor of the Song family.

Guarded the secret guards of many dynasties in the Southern Song Dynasty, with the wind.

Her face turned pale suddenly!

"Song family's secret guard, how much do you know?" After Song Yibao finished speaking, she didn't sit for long before leaving, the reason was that Lu told her that her niece Jian Qingyue was still young, so she shouldn't bother her eldest sister too much - Song Yixiao didn't keep it a few times, so she had to let the kitchen fill some pastries and order Jinxun to send her back.

After Jian Xubai came back that night, he entered the inner room, and Song Yixiao followed in and asked, "Is it amazing?" ”

"From the guard's point of view, of course it's very powerful." Jian Xubai said while changing his regular clothes, "Otherwise, how can you defend the Song family for so many years?" But what does this do, you ask? ”

"You said that if they want to infiltrate the Hengshan Mansion and assassinate my mother, is it possible?" Song Yi smiled and pondered for a long time, but finally asked.

Jian was stunned clearly, and the hand that tied the clothes stopped before continuing, and said, "This is impossible." ”

"In that case, the royal family may not be able to sleep," he explained. ”

And if the royal family can't sleep, how can these secret guards, including the Song family, exist anymore?

Song Yixiao was silent for a long time before he said, "What if you don't hesitate to burn the jade together?" ”

——According to the meaning of the simple vernacular, the secret guard has a bottom line in his actions, so as not to arouse suspicion from above, and he originally wanted to defend the family's sharp weapon, but instead brought disaster to the family.

However, Mrs. Pang is so old, maybe she is reckless in order to avenge her only son?

Otherwise, what would she do to hide the truth from her daughter-in-law Lu?

After all, her son is dead, but Lu's son and daughter are still there!

Lu was sad about Song Yuan's death, but she was willing to sacrifice herself to avenge her husband, if she wanted to take care of her three young children, a normal mother would not be able to do such a thing.

If you know that Old Madam Pang wants to risk the disapproval of the world and fight to pay the entire Song family for Song Yuan's hatred - how can the Lu family not stop it?

Song Yixiao's heart gradually sank, but she heard her husband mutter: "I don't know much about this, after all, I am not the secret guard of the six valves, and I still occasionally heard about it from the third uncle." You know, the third uncle was raised by his aunt and grandmother, and his aunt's parents died early, so he regarded the third uncle as his own, but he cultivated him according to the method that Jinxiutang taught his sister-in-law. It was the third uncle who knew a lot of inside information, but I only heard a few words. ”

When he said this, he asked in surprise, "Could it be that the Song family treats his mother-in-law?" ”

"My stepmother just sent a message from my second sister saying that something has not been quite right with my grandmother lately." Song Yixiao thought for a while and disguised, "My stepmother is worried that my grandmother has not been able to mourn so far, and she will hurt her body, so she asked me if I could go back to see her, but you also know that my grandmother has never liked me, and if she gets angry when she sees me, it will hurt her." The problem is that I listened to my sister's description and felt that my grandmother ...... It seems that I still have a prejudice against my mother. My stepmother has always been gentle and tolerant, and after my father goes, if the Song family's secret guard is under her custody, it will be returned! I'm afraid that it will fall into the hands of my grandmother, and she will do unimaginable things in anger. ”

Jian nodded blankly and said, "Then we have to hurry up and remind my mother-in-law?" ”

"But that's just my guess." Song Yi smiled and bit her lip and said, "If you guess wrong, wouldn't it provoke your mother's resentment against the Song family?" Now that my father is gone, my half-brothers and sisters are still young, and if I don't like my mother, it's trouble. ”

She didn't know about the changes in the Song Mansion, and she still thought that the Lu family was definitely not Wei Mengying's opponent, so she didn't dare to provoke Wei Mengying's resentment against the Song family without conclusive evidence—she was very resolute in hating people!

After coaxing her husband with words, the next day she went to visit Yuan Xuexu, who had just arrived in the imperial capital, under the pretext of visiting Yuan Xuexu, and quietly went to the Song Mansion to find the Lu family: "My mother asked my sister to send me a letter yesterday, what do you want?" ”
