True to form, her father’s nervousness was dispelled with a single word.
Song Wangyue was sighing in her heart when Meng Yang had already looked over, “This is the Yue girl, right?”
“Grandfather Uncle.”
Song Wan Yue pulled Gu Yi to give Meng Yang a bow, anyway, it was known that she and Gu Yi were betrothed, so she didn’t need to avoid it.
“I’ve always heard your grandmother praise you, not only can you do business but you can also do medicine, if it wasn’t for you, her health wouldn’t have healed so quickly.”
He said, handing her and Gu Yi the two boxes he had picked up, “Uncle grandfather didn’t know what you liked and didn’t prepare for it, this contains 10,000 taels of silver tickets each, you take it and buy it yourselves.”
“Thank you grandfather uncle.”
Song Wan Yue smiled and took both boxes, once again sighing at Meng Yang’s carefulness, knowing that they were country people and what they lacked most was silver, that’s why she thought of such a way to help them, if it’s not unexpected, there will be more on dad and mom’s side.”
As expected, Meng Yang took two more boxes and gave them to Xu and Song Lin, “You are all the same, silver tickets, 20,000 taels each, go and buy whatever you like for yourselves.”
Song Lin was so frightened that he almost lost his grip on the boxes.
“Uncle, this can’t be allowed.”
“What’s not to be allowed, uncle has nothing else but silver, this is not even a penny, take it, buy whatever you want, and give it back if you don’t have enough to spend.”
Song Lin looked at Xu.
“Take it, it’s a token of my uncle’s appreciation.”
Song Lin and Xu stayed in the house to talk while Song Wan Yue and Gu Yi came out, the two of them handed the box to Xiao Si and headed for the old gentleman’s courtyard, halfway to the door, Song Wan Yue suddenly rang a bell when Xiao Yao told her about Xu Ling’er and Zheng Qian’s betrothal, and turned her steps, “Let’s go to uncle’s place first.”
After Shen Yan left, Xu Yan drank a lot of wine alone again, and was lying down inside the house after drinking a sober soup, when he heard Song Wan Yue and Gu Yi coming over, he sat up bravely.
Yun felt sorry for him, “You’d better lie down, I’ll go out and ask, if there’s nothing wrong with them, let them come back tomorrow.”
Xu Yan waved his hand.
Back then, when his little sister had gone out before her accident, she had also come to him, he was busy at the time and did not accompany her, and as a result, she had disappeared, he could not let such a thing happen again.
“Bring me a dress.”
Yun got up, went to the wardrobe and brought him some clothes, helped him put them on, and wet a handkerchief for him to wipe his face before he went out.
Song Wan Yue smelled the smell of alcohol on Xu Yan’s body and was puzzled. His uncle was not a good drinker, even on the day of his great-grandfather’s birthday he didn’t drink much.
“Something wrong with you?”
Xu Yan sat down and asked with a slightly hoarse voice.
Seeing that he seemed to be having a hard time, Song Wangyue said succinctly, “Today Sister Xiao told me that Xu Ling’er and Zheng Qian were engaged today.”
That day, the Duke of Qi mentioned this matter with Wen Zhong in front of so many people, and the people had already spread the word, only that they did not expect it to be so soon.
“Wen Zhong has gotten close to the Duke of Qi’s house by virtue of Xu Ling’er, so it will be harder for us to deal with him in the future.”
Wen Zhong himself is the minister of the household department, plus he is the son-in-law of the minister of the household department, it is not acceptable to move him, if he climbs up to the Qi family, it will be more difficult to move him in the future than the sky.
Xu Yan did not know, but Xu Qingwan could not remember what happened back then, so they could not convict Huo’s mother and son just by guessing.
The only way to get your mother to remember what happened back then is to find a way to do it as soon as possible,……”
Xu Yan was getting more and more headache, Yue’er knew the art of medicine, even she didn’t have a way to make Wan’er recover her memory, I wonder what else could be done?
“My mother she ……”
Song Wan Yue wanted to tell Xu Yan that Xu had fainted once more today, but swallowed her words back when she thought of Shen Yan.
Yun brought in a maid with tea and put it in front of Xu Yan in a jug.
Xu Yan picked it up and took several sips to clear his head a little.
“Has uncle met something? Why are you drinking so much wine?”
Song Wangyue asked, still not able to hold back.
“Where is it that I met something, it’s Shen ……”
“Ahem ……”
Xu Yan coughed lightly, and Yun swallowed back the words that followed.
Song Wangyue, however, had already heard the word Shen and asked tentatively, “Is it Uncle Shen coming over?”
Xu Yan looked at her instantly, “Yue’er, why are you ……?”
“He went to South City to look for my mother at the end of lunchtime.”
Xu Yan thumped his tealight on the table and asked eagerly, “Did he do anything?”
“No.”
Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, his greatest fear was that Shen Yan might do something to Wan’er on impulse and cause Song Lin’s misunderstanding.
“However, my mother passed out as soon as she saw him.”
“Huh?”
Yun stood up in shock, “Is little sister alright?”
“Don’t worry auntie, nothing is wrong with my mother, it’s just that she didn’t think of anything this time she passed out.”
“I’ll go and see.”
Yun went out quickly.
When her footsteps disappeared, Song Wangyue deliberated for a moment and spoke, “Actually, my mother passing out just now has inspired me, if she could be more stimulated, she might think about what happened back then.”
Xu Yan frowned, “A greater stimulus?”
Song Wangyue nodded her head, “Yes.”
Xu Yan’s frown deepened, Shen Yan was already the biggest touch for her little sister, even seeing him didn’t remind her of anything, what else could make her more stimulated.
“My father.”
Song Wangyue said.
“Your father?”
Xu Yan was puzzled
Song Wangyue nodded her head.
……
Half an hour later, Xu Yan went to the Shen Mansion.
The housekeeper of the Shen Mansion came out to welcome him, “Young Master Xu, you have come just in time, go and see our young master.”
“What’s wrong with him?”
The housekeeper guided him hurriedly inside, “After our young master came back, he locked himself into the wine cellar and wouldn’t open it even if anyone shouted.”
A long way from the wine cellar, I could hear the voice of the Duke of Zhen’s wife, “Yan’er, listen to mother, open the door, mother knows that you are feeling bad, but no amount of wine you drink will solve the matter.”
The sound of a wine jar falling to the ground came out from inside.
Xu Yan quickened his steps.
Seeing him, it was as if the Duke of Zhen’s wife had seen a saviour, “Sir Xu, help persuade Yan’er, if he continues to drink, he will spoil his body.”
“Madam, don’t be in a hurry, you step back first, I will persuade him.”
The Duke of Zhen’s wife gave way, and Xu Yan stood at the door and knocked on the door.
“Shen Yan, it’s me, open the door.”
There was no response.
“Shen Yan, I know you can hear me, open the door, I have something to say to you.”
Still no response.
The Duke of Zhen’s wife became anxious and wanted to come forward again, but was pulled back by the Duke of Zhen.
In front of so many people, Xu Yan could not say that he was looking for him to irritate Xu Qingwan, raised his voice, and said politely, “I was entrusted by someone to find you, so if you want to listen, open the door quickly.”
