Chapter 328: Song Yuan Arrives
Song Yixiao was mentally prepared to be a scapegoat for Wei Mengying, so she went to the flower hall to meet Song Yuan: "Why is Dad free today?" β
To her surprise, Song Yuan rarely saw that she didn't shake her face, nor did she speak coldly, but said gently: "I heard that Qingyue is sick?" Does it matter? β
"Daddy Lao's care, yesterday's fever has subsided, and Aunt Yun said that as long as you raise it for two more days, you will be fine." It's just that since Wei Mengying remarried, Song Yixiao has never seen her father be kind to her, not only did she not feel flattered at the moment, but she was full of vigilance, thinking what kind of idea this father was playing?
Song Yuan saw that she didn't mean to bring Jian Qingyue over, let alone invite herself in to see her granddaughter, her eyes showed disappointment, but he also knew that there was a lot of gap between father and daughter, and it couldn't be bridged in three or two sentences.
So I didn't mention it, but said: "You seem to have lost a lot of weight, are you tired from watching your children in the past two days?" β
"Dad thinks it's been a long time since I've seen me, so I remember it badly." Song Yi smiled faintly when he heard this, "Compared to the previous two years, I will grow some flesh instead!" β
Song Yuan turned his head a little embarrassed, looked at the famous paintings hanging on the wall, and said, "You are doing well, it's fine." β
Song Yixiao was figuring out what other meanings he had in his words, and pondering his intentions today, but Song Yuan had already stood up and said, "I'm leaving." β
"It's rare for dad to come back and sit again?" Song Yixiao heard this, relieved, and said with a meaning, "Two days ago, the people below sent the fruit of Zhuangzi, let me get some for you to taste?" β
She was originally just a kind word, but who knew that Song Yuan really nodded: "That's fine." β
Seeing him sit back down, Song Yixiao was so remorseful that he wanted to slap himself twice - he knew that it would be better to send him away directly!
But now that Song Yuan is no longer leaving, she has no choice but to endure the feeling of vomiting blood and order someone to take the results.
She was counting on this father to finish eating and leave soon, but Song Yuan basically didn't move much, and only hesitated to talk to her - but the father and daughter have never sat down to talk for many years, what kind of topic will there be?
In the end, Song Yuan said: "I heard that after the princess of Hengshan went, she left an inheritance with you, but you gave it all to the third prince of Lu who went out?" β
"Where did Daddy hear that?" Song Yixiao thought to herself, is this what he came here today? I was surprised to ask.
She thinks that what she is doing is very hidden, and the people involved are not people who can't keep secrets - how did Song Yuan know?
However, although Song Yixiao was surprised, she was not afraid, she was not sorry for this matter, and if it was spread, it would only achieve her good reputation and not hinder her.
But I heard Song Yuan say: "It was Marquis Boling who told me." β
"Marquis Boling?" Song Yixiao was confused, and decided to ask after his mind was spinning, "I don't know what he did when he told his father about this?" β
"He wanted to buy a few Zhuangzi from me for his sister, and he talked about it by chance when he was negotiating." Song Yuan saw that she didn't seem to be willing to mention this matter, so she didn't say anything about it, but said, "Although there is not much of that inheritance, but you didn't have much dowry back then, all of it was given to Lu Guanlun, and the things you can leave to your children in the future may not be very rich." β
Song Yixiao didn't care and said: "It's enough for them to have fine clothes and food, and besides, the Guogong Mansion also has some industries." β
Speaking of which, I remembered the property that my stepmother Lu brought to me before, and I just asked Song Yuan, "I don't know if I took the wrong thing for my mother to bring me before?" β
"I didn't make a mistake." Song Yuan's face changed when he heard this, and then he said, "Didn't Jian Xiuhuan ask again?" β
After a pause, he took out a brocade box from his sleeve, "Actually, I came here today and also had something for my granddaughter." β
Song Yixiao glanced at the box with some suspicion, and said, "Dad is too outward, why should his family be like this?" Besides, Qingyue is still so young, she doesn't understand what she gives her! β
"If she doesn't understand, you can keep it for her, and give it to her when she grows up." Song Yuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly became a little anxious, impatiently put the brocade box on the table, got up and said, "You really feel that you hate it, and you can throw it away!" β
Say and walk outside!
Song Yi laughed at this situation, so she had to follow and said, "What did Dad say?" In that case, I thank you for Qingyue! β
She thought that this time she would always be able to send off the guests, right?
It's just that Song Yuan has already walked out of the way, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but stop, turned his head and asked, "I haven't seen Qingyue yet, can I go and see her?" β
Song Yixiao suddenly showed a look of vigilance when he heard this, but he thought that Song Yuan's behavior today was very different, could it be that he had gone around in such a big circle just to pit Jian Qingyue?
It's just that her grandfather proposed in front of her subordinates that she wanted to see her granddaughter, and she didn't want to say no directly, so she thought about it quickly, Song Yi smiled and gave Jinxun a look, and ordered her to invite Aunt Yun, while trying to excuse herself: "Qingyue is only fine in these two days, I'm afraid that I will give you too much illness, or, I'll take her to see you in two days?" β
As for whether she will take her daughter to the Song family's courtyard in two days, naturally only God knows!
Song Yuan obviously saw her thoughts, but shook his head and said, "Didn't you say it?" Where is the sickness? Besides, I'm in the prime of life, and you can take care of her by her side, why can't I go and see it? β
Seeing this, Song Yixiao was helpless, so he reluctantly led him to the back.
Fortunately, when she arrived at Jian Qingyue's house, Aunt Yun was already there.
Song Yuan didn't know Aunt Yun, but he had heard that there was such a doctor in the Yanguo Mansion, seeing that her demeanor was different from that of her subordinates, and she could smell the faint fragrance of medicine on her body from a distance, how could she not count it in her heart?
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that his eldest daughter was not close to him, but he never thought that he would not be close to this point - even if she wanted to see her granddaughter, she was afraid that she would do something to her granddaughter, so that she would call the female doctor in front of her and stare at it with a good eye!
Song Yuan's heart can be imagined, but he knows that he is at a loss, and he has nothing to say, so he carefully looked at Jian Qingyue, picked a jade pendant as a meeting gift, and under the urging of Song Yixiao secretly, he had to go reluctantly.
When he left, Song Yixiao wanted to send him off.
Standing within the threshold, watching him drift away, he seemed to look back at him in the distance, and raised his sleeves again, not knowing whether it was to block the sun, or to remove the occasional fallen leavesβit couldn't be wiping tears, right?
Song Yixiao suddenly felt empty for no reason, as if something was going to happen.
"It seems that taking care of Qingyue in the past two days is really too tiring." She thought like this, "Daddy doesn't come sooner or later, this inexplicable play today makes me think of it crankily!" β
She didn't pay attention to Song Yuan anymore, turned around and went back to the back hall, and ordered someone to close the door.
didn't know that Song Yuan's eyes were red when he returned to the courtyard that day, even if he avoided his subordinates all the way, he quickly asked the Lu family to get the news.
Lu Shi hurriedly disposed of the matter at hand, and rushed to the study to ask what was going on - he only entered the atrium outside the study, but he had already heard a delicate voice from behind the green curtain: "Master......"
It was Aunt Liu who arrived first.
Lu's expression darkened, she wanted to leave and missed Song Yuan, she wanted to stay but was afraid that she would be like the previous few times, Aunt Liu deliberately flirted with Song Yuan, although Song Yuan didn't react, she didn't refuse, so she didn't look at it from the side, and it was embarrassing.
was hesitating, but he heard a "bang" from behind the green window screen and a heavy object fell to the ground, followed by Song Yuanhan's voice: "Get out!" β
Lu Shi was taken aback, and before he could react to what was going on, he heard Liu Zhijin crying and aggrieved: "Master, you ...... What's wrong with you? β
Song Yuan didn't answer - but a moment later, the disheveled Liu Zhijin was pushed out of the study with his hair in a bun, Song Yuan didn't see Lu standing outside, and directly "slammed" the door, listening to the movement, he sat back behind the bookcase.
"......" Liu Zhijin was still sobbing and pleading, hoping that Song Yuan would be soft-hearted, but when she saw Lu's, she instead stopped her voice, wiped her face with her sleeve, slightly adjusted her appearance, walked past her with her head held high, and when she passed by, she saw Lu's staring at herself, probably feeling very shameless, and sneered with a sinking face, "Grandma laughs at me?" But I'm just serving people now, and it's natural to be scolded by the master occasionally. It's grandma, a serious couple, but she doesn't even dare to enter the study? Ha! β
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and walked on his toes.
Lu Shi was too lazy to bother with her, and after she walked away, he stood in the court for a while before he walked to the study and knocked on the door gently.
"Is it Green?" Song Yuan didn't get angry this time, only said a little tiredly, "Come in!" β
Lu's boudoir name is Lu Lu.
Hearing this, she pushed the door in, turned the bookshelf, and saw Song Yuan holding his forehead, sitting behind the bookcase, looking tired.
"What's the matter, husband?" Lu Shi walked over to rub his temples for him, neither husband nor wife spoke, and after a while, she asked softly, "But you are too worried about business?" β
"I went to see Yixiao's daughter today." Song Yuan didn't move, only said in a dumb voice, "That kid doesn't look like Yixiao at all, but seems to be enough for Jian Xiuhuan." β
Lu Shi was stunned, she also knew that her husband had never liked the eldest daughter, and after Wei Mengying's instigation, she even suspected that her husband didn't really like his daughter at all, otherwise why didn't he help her and Mrs. Pang get back the third daughter?
But he didn't expect that he would go out of his way to see Song Yixiao's daughter - the Lu family couldn't guess his thoughts, and subconsciously said: "My daughter Xiao's father has always been like the eldest lady when the eldest lady gives birth to her son-in-law." β
Speaking of this, thinking of his behavior towards Liu Zhijin just now, he couldn't help but suspect that the father and daughter were not in harmony, Song Yi smiled and said something to stimulate Song Yuan, and said euphemistically, "I heard that Qingyue had a bad fever two days ago, and the eldest lady was so anxious as if she was something, although she got better in the past two days, she still couldn't let go of it if she wanted to be a mother." This person has something in his heart, and when he talks and does things, he will inevitably be impatient, is this the truth that the husband said? β
Song Yuan heard the meaning of her words, but just laughed miserably, and said, "Yixiao, you still don't know?" The most is exquisite, the more I hate me in my heart, the more I refuse to reveal it. I just suddenly felt that I had done a lot of wrong things over the years! β
"What did the husband say?" The Lu family actually felt that Song Yuan treated Song Yixiao very badly, even though Wei Mengying abandoned Song Yuan and made the entire Song family disgraced, but Song Yixiao was innocent in the end, and she was also Song Yuan's blood and blood, so it was really unreasonable to anger this girl.
But he looked at Song Yuan's sad appearance, and felt distressed, so he comforted, "There is no way in the world that there are no parents who are not, the eldest lady is the most reasonable and generous, but in the future, let's talk to her slowly, and we can always talk about it." β
Song Yuan shook his head and said bitterly, "It's late." β
"How so?" Lu thought he was saying that it was too late to restore the relationship with Song Yixiao, so he hurriedly said, "Although the eldest lady has become a mother, she is still young, and her husband is also in her prime, and the future is long - besides, only those who become mothers can truly understand the heart of being a parent, and they can understand their parents the most!" β
Listening to his stepwife's gentle persuasion, thinking of the bits and pieces since the Lu family entered the door, on the table in front of Song Yuan, there were unexpectedly traces of water, and he muttered: "If only I married you." β
Lu Shi was caught off guard, first surprised, and then felt a huge sweetness surging into her heart, so happy that her heart was pounding, and even the hand that pressed the corner of his forehead stopped for a while, before she couldn't hold back her joy and said, "The past is all over, after all, we are husband and wife now, aren't we?" β
Song Yuan just laughed and didn't speak.
The Lu family, who was kind and considerate and treated him wholeheartedly, was beside him, but what was constantly floating in front of him at the moment was the person who left ruthlessly-I often heard the old man say that Jiang Nantang was easy to fall in love, he didn't think so before, and at this moment, he couldn't lie to himself anymore, and he didn't want to deceive himself anymore.
Brushing away Lu's hand, he wiped the corners of his eyes, raised his head and said: "The Liu family is becoming more and more disagreeable, they are all spoiled by their mother, and their behavior is very inconsistent with our family rules, you will ask her to clean up her things later, I have promised to give her to the people below." β
This sudden decision surprised and puzzled the Lu family, but Song Yuan's words were not finished, "As for Jiao'er, it's not good to worry about my mother all the time, my mother is getting old - I'll go to my mother's place to pick it up later, you work hard, take it with Yao'er!" β
