At the mention of Song Si, Xiao Yao’s face changed into a smile that could not be concealed, “He gets along well with his fellow officers and the Minister of Household did not make things difficult for him.”
Song Wangyue nodded her head.
Only then did Xiao Yao remember to ask her, “Why have you come over at this time? Is there something going on at home? Are you the only one?”
Song Wangyue sighed.
Xiao Yao’s heart lifted, “Is there really something wrong at home?”
“Nothing has happened, but ah-”
Song Wangyue deliberately stretched her tone and looked at her with a narrow smile, “Grandma wants to marry her grandson-in-law as soon as possible! As soon as she’s finished, she’s sent my parents over, saying that they want to discuss with Sister Yao’s family about whether they can let you and my big brother get married soon?”
Xiao Yao’s face reddened.
Song Wangyue could see it clearly and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Xiao Yao glared at her with feigned anger, but could not help but laugh herself. After laughing, she picked up her tealight and drank a few sips of tea, and asked her about her family’s situation, and was filled with admiration when she heard that Song Wan Yue had built dozens of workshops and opened a restaurant.
Just this one pastry shop, she felt, was taking up all her time, and she wondered where Yue’er got the energy to open so many workshops.
An hour later, Xu Liang came over and said that the place had been settled there.
Song Wan Yue got up, looked at the sky outside, and said to Xiao Yao, “I’m going to go for a string, it will probably be half an hour before I can come over again, if big brother comes back, you tell him to wait for me.”
Xiao Yao answered.
Song Wangyue didn’t let her see her off, so she and Xu Liang got out and got into the carriage, came to the entrance of the mansion on this side, picked up the silver needles placed on the carriage and got down, and went into the mansion.
The mansion had been cleaned, not as good as the two she had bought, but much better than the one Li An’s family lived in.
The house was also lit with charcoal pots, perhaps because it was warm, and Li An’s face was no longer so pale.
Wen was sitting in front of the bed when she heard the commotion and hurriedly got up, “Miss Song, Miss Song.”
Li An also struggled to sit up, but was stopped by Song Wan Yue, “Don’t move.”
Li An obediently did not move again, his eyes full of gratitude, “Thank you, Miss Song.”
Just now he had asked Xu Liang, this mansion did not belong to the old gentleman, it belonged to Miss Song. Although her wife had not directly harmed Xu back then, she had known about it later but had not informed her, and she had also counted on Song Si. If she had set aside other people, at this time, not to mention giving a helping hand, it would have been good not to fall into the well, but Song Wangyue was generous enough not to bother with them, this kind of heart was not even comparable to many men.
Song Wan Yue sat down on the round stool where Wen had just sat and instructed Xu Liang to bring a small table, she put the silver needles on it and opened the needle set, “Don’t worry about what you’re doing, I’ll give you the needles first, it hurts a bit, you have to bear it.”
It was not the pain from the needles, but the blood in Li An’s wound had already blocked up and she had to use the silver needles to draw it away.
“You just do it, I can bear it.”
During the days when he had just fallen, he was in pain and couldn’t sleep at night, but he never said a word.
Song Wangyue lifted the blanket, untied the gauze wrapped around both his legs, pulled out a silver needle and stuck it in the most swollen part of his left leg.
Li An shivered subconsciously in pain and clenched his teeth.
Wen looked so distressed that she couldn’t help but redden her eyes. She carefully walked around Song Wangyue and went to the head of the bed, taking out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Song Wan Yue was very slow in placing the needles, and when she had finished placing all the silver needles, her forehead was also sweating, and she had just sat up straight when a handkerchief was handed to her and Xu Ling’er’s voice rang out, “Wipe it.”
Without the slightest hesitation, Song Wangyue took the handkerchief. Xu Ling’er turned around and went to the table, poured a cup of water and brought it over.
Song Wangyue didn’t hesitate to take it, and took a few sips.
Xu Ling’er looked at her, hesitated, and whispered, “Tired, right? I’ve cleaned up my house, so I’ll take you there for a rest.”
Song Wangyue glanced at her and then got up, without putting down her water jar, and carried it directly with her over.
After entering the house and sitting down, Xu Ling’er lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief, “Thank you.”
“It’s not for you.”
Song Wangyue said bluntly.
“I know, but I still want to thank you ……”, said here, Xu Ling’er red her eyes, before she lived in the Xu Mansion, people outside looked at her highly, no matter where she went, as long as she said this surname, she would be respected by people, those high The noble daughters of those high-ranking families also gave her invitations to play in the house from time to time. But since she had been expelled from Xu’s house, those people would not even invite her, but would spit on her when they met her on the road, especially since Xu had been victimised by her uncle and grandfather.
She now regrets that she should not have thought that way in the first place. She grew up with Mr. Lao, who would not have ignored her marriage, but she did not understand and ended up in this situation today.
“I didn’t expect you to not agree to go as a concubine.”
Song Wangyue once again spoke bluntly.
Although Zheng Fan’s reputation sounded bad, but after all, Xu Ling’er was carried off to be a noble concubine, only one step below the lady in charge, and given their current situation, there was no better option.
Xu Ling’er bit her lip and looked up at her, “I grew up beside my ancestor …… old man, although he drove me out of the Xu family, but if I gave someone a concubine, it would also tarnish his old man’s reputation, and he taught me that I would rather be a wife of a cold family than a concubine of a high family, even a noble concubine is still a concubine. ”
Song Wangyue raised her eyebrows.
Xu Ling’er saw it clearly and thought she didn’t believe it, and said eagerly, “I’m telling the truth, I ……”
“I believe you.”
Xu Ling’er froze.
Song Wangyue took a slow sip of water, “To be honest, I also stepped in to help you guys out because you grew up next to your great-grandfather.”
Xu Ling’er’s eyes reddened once again.
Song Wangyue just ignored it, “You are now at the end of your rope, have you thought about what to do in the future?”
Xu Ling’er shook her head, she had called Song Wan Yue here to ask her what the family should do in the future. They could avoid the An Guo Houfu for a while, but not for a lifetime. His father, although he didn’t say anything to her, she could see that he was being ostracised by his peers, this time he had hurt his leg, next time he might hurt something, as Song Wan Yue had said, they were already at the end of their rope, if anything happened to her father again, the family wouldn’t be able to survive.
“Do you, do you have any ideas?”
Song Wan Yue took a few more slow sips of tea, “There is one solution.”
“Go ahead.”
“Let your father resign from the Ministry of Works, and your family leave the capital.”
Xu Ling’er rose to her feet, “This, this is impossible!”
