“I’ve given Miss Song a lot of trouble.”
Seeing that Xu Ling’er was safe and sound, Li An thanked her.
He still didn’t know about Wen and Huo’s plot against Song Si until now, but Wen was involved in harming Xu Qingwan back then, and the fact that Song Wangyue, as her daughter, could go to help Wen despite her past suspicions already made him very grateful.
Xu Ling’er was still sobbing and choking.
In the past, she had been a young lady of the Xu family and had been spoiled, so she had never experienced so many things. Especially the moment she heard today that Zheng Qian was wearing a human skin mask, she felt that the sky had collapsed.
“Ling’er, come down.”
Li An spoke warmly.
He knew that his daughter was not feeling well in her heart, and he felt even worse in his heart, but what had happened had already happened, and it was useless to escape, what should be faced still had to be faced.
Xu Ling’er continued to cry and did not move.
“Ling’er ……”
Li An aggravated his tone of voice and
Xu Ling’er raised her red and swollen eyes and opened her mouth, wanting to tell Li An about the medicine Song Wangyue had given her, that everything she had done today was Song Wangyue’s fault, and that she was relying on Song Wangyue.
“Miss Ling’er go down, your mother is anxious at home.”
When she heard Song Wangyue’s words, Xu Ling’er’s body shook, the ten boards had opened up Wen’s skin and flesh, if there was an infection it would have killed her, Song Wangyue was obviously threatening her with Wen’s life.
“I will go there again tomorrow, if there is anything to say, let’s talk tomorrow, it’s too late today, don’t let Lord Li worry.”
Xu Ling’er gave her a fierce glare with little threat, got off the carriage and went back with Li An.
The carriage driver also turned his horse around and went back to the house.
The meal was already prepared in the house, and as usual, Song Wangyue and Gu Yi accompanied the old man to eat in his house.
After eating, Xu Liang led the men to clean up and made tea for them.
Song Wangyue spoke thoughtfully, “I ran into Xu Ling’er when I returned to the house today.”
The old gentleman’s hand, which had been carrying the tea, gave a slight pause.
When they had set up Song Si, he had been so angry that he had thrown them out. But after all, Xu Ling’er had been by his side for so many years, there were still feelings for her, especially when Zhang Huai’s impersonation was discovered today.
“In fact, Xu Ling’er is not bad at heart, she was just too desperate to find herself a husband at first.”
Song Wangyue added.
The old gentleman was silent.
Song Wangyue also did not say any more and gently lifted her tea.
Only after a long time did the old gentleman let out a long sigh, “I will talk to your uncle, and if she encounters anything in the future, your uncle will help her if he can, that’s all.”
The following day, Song Wangyue and Gu Yi went to Nancheng first to make pills for a while, before going over to see Wen’s injuries near the hour.
Song Wan Yue and Gu Yi looked at each other and stood at the door without going in.
Inside the courtyard, the steward of the Wen family was standing there with a few men dressed as servants, arching his hand at Li An, “Aunt, you’re being unreasonable.
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t return them, but my son is seriously injured and can’t move, so we’ll talk about it in a few days.”
“That won’t do ……”, the housekeeper was polite but firm, “The night is long, who knows if you’ll want to return it to us in a few days?”
“You ……”
“And ah, our madam said, please move out of this house as soon as possible, the master is no longer here, they are orphans and widows without a source of livelihood, they can only sell this mansion to subsidize the family. And those silver cheques, they have to be returned in no less than one piece!”
“Do you have to be so desperate?”
Li An sank his voice.
“It’s not that we did it, who let the aunt promise to take the blame but failed to do so, and for nothing, our lady was also beaten and still can’t move.”
“She deserved it!”
Wen’s angry voice came out of the room, “I went when she told me to, and I was beaten, too, because she didn’t tell me to! What right does she have to ask for these things back? I’m telling you, there’s no way, the worst that can happen is that we’ll kill her and no one will be left out.”
In all his years of marriage he had never heard Wen speak like this before.
“Does auntie mean she doesn’t want to return it?”
“No!”
With each word, Wen’s wounds tugged painfully, but she still gritted her teeth and yelled it out.
Before this, she hadn’t thought of not returning the silver ticket and the shop, after all, she hadn’t topped the crime. But these people had bullied her too much, and since that was the case, she wasn’t afraid to tear her face off.
Song Wangyue pulled Gu Yi and turned her head and quietly got on the carriage, went back to the southern city to continue making pills, and only went over again in the afternoon.
Li An could not see anything on his face and welcomed them in.
Yesterday Wen was unconscious and thought that the doctor had treated her injuries. At first glance, when she saw Song Wangyue, she immediately asked her warily, “What are you doing here?”
“Miss Song is here to help you treat your injuries.”
Wen was obviously not convinced, although she had not been involved in the killing of those four people, she was aware of what happened to Xu Qingwan back then, and she did not believe that Song Wangyue could not hate her.
“No need.”
Song Wangyue raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure?”
“When ……”
Xu Ling’er covered her mouth, and Wen stammered and struggled to open it.
Song Wangyue looked straight at Wen’s injury and took out the prepared medicine and handed it to Xu Ling’er, “Apply it externally once a day and take it internally three times a day, I will come back in three days.”
After saying that, she didn’t even look at Wen and turned around to go out.
Li An thanked her and saw them out.
“What are Lord Li’s plans for the future?”
Li An paused.
“In any case, you have also lived in the Xu Mansion for many years, so whatever your future plans are, go over and say so.”
“Thank you, Miss Song, for reminding me.”
……
Two days later, the pills were all ready, and Song Wan Yue filled several large boxes full of them and came to the Duke of Zhen’s residence together with Gu Yi.
The atmosphere in the Duke of Zhen’s residence was somewhat subdued.
Shen Yan was ready to go back to the border, but Ming had to go with him. Shen Yan naturally disagreed, but the Duke of Zhen Guo and his wife agreed, as Xu Qingyuan had already returned, and Shen Yan had no more worries in his heart.
At this moment, the Duke and his wife were patiently persuading Shen Yan, “Yan’er, mother knows that you still have Miss Xu in your heart, but you agreed to marry Ming in the first place, since you did, you have to be responsible, no matter what, you have to take her with you this time.”
“Your mother is right, think of all the years you have been married and how many days you have been together? You can’t let a woman stay a widow like that, either, you take her with you or, I will go before the Emperor and beg for mercy to let you stay in the capital, your choice.”
Shen Yan held his forehead with a headache.
The butler came to report, “Young master, Miss Song is here and says she wants to see you.”
Shen Yan rose to his feet.
