The flames continued to sway, and the shadows of the two people reflected on the wall grew larger and smaller.
Song Lin slapped the table, "No matter how angry you are, you can't say such things! He has been sitting in the emperor's seat for a day, and you have to respect him! The emperor asked Qian to go because he trusted him and valued him. How can he, a member of Jinyiwei, compare with him? "
His son is almost dead, but he still says such things now.
Mrs. Song was shocked by his actions and was stunned for a moment. She wanted to argue for something, but in the end she opened and closed her mouth in anger and finally stopped.
She clutched her chest and began to cry, "What to do! Then what do you think we should do! Now we can't find anyone anywhere. Didn't we agree to go to Yunjing Town to look for people? Where are your people? There is no trace of him. How could he disappear for no reason? His daughter was not found, and he got my son involved. What if he died? Want to kill me!”
After Mrs. Song gave birth to Song Yusheng, she also gave birth to a daughter. Later, her body was depleted and she did not have another daughter. If Song Yusheng died, then she would have no more sons.
If Song Yusheng really got into trouble because he was helping Emperor Linghui find his daughter, how could Mrs. Song not be angry?
Ding Guogong saw her crying and became even more upset, "This is the only son you have? I only have one son like this! I have sent people to look for her now, but Ruoyun Jingzhen can't find her. , I went to the nearby towns and villages to look for him one by one! Ask him to help Let's go look for him together. This matter must not be made public. I originally thought he would be back in a month, but now that he has not returned for a long time, I can't hold it in any longer. There are already many speculations in the government and the public. If anyone knows that something happened to Qi'an, I guarantee that he will be back. Don't take this opportunity to do anything dirty."
Although Mrs. Song was anxious, she was also aware of these things. Wasn't Song Yusheng's accident calculated by others? If any further rumors of his death were revealed, their political opponents would not be able to take advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury and kill him while he was ill.
Now his life or death is uncertain. If so, they were the ones who harmed him.
Song Lin's solution this time was already the best way. She was so angry that her teeth itched with hatred. Suddenly her eyes flashed, she stopped crying and asked: "Could it be the handiwork of the second brother?"
The Song family has three rooms. Song Lin is the eldest room. The second room below is the same as Song Lin's, and the one in the third room is a concubine.
The second wife has two legitimate sons. The older one is twenty-five years old and has already married a wife and has children, while the younger one is only sixteen years old. If something happened to Song Yu's birth, and there was no one to inherit the eldest brother's family, then the position of the eldest son would definitely fall into the hands of the second brother's brother.
Besides, the fact that Song Yusheng went to find the princess was so secret, who else would know except the people of the Song family.
Mrs. Song’s guess is not unreasonable.
After all, they are brothers, born from the belly of the same mother. Song Lin was still unwilling to speculate on his younger brother like this. He said solemnly: "Bai Jing is not like this."
"He is not like this. Man? He doesn't have this thought. Doesn't his eldest son have this thought? In the face of power, you still care about family ties. Why don't you care about the father-son relationship between Nian and Qian now that you care about your brotherhood? ! You are kind to everyone, but you are so cruel to him."
Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, he stopped him sternly, "You said that I don't care about the relationship between father and son? No big deal How could he be like this if I didn't treat him harshly?"
He didn't want to argue anymore, stood up and said "a woman's kindness" and walked away, leaving only Song. The eldest lady covered her face and cried.
The two’s daughter, Song Liqing, has been hiding outside and eavesdropping.
Song Liqing was young, only fifteen years old, with a delicate appearance. As soon as Song Lin left and went out, the two of them bumped into each other at the door.
Song Lin has a handsome appearance. He is over forty years old, but his youthful charm can be vaguely seen on his face. However, he is too strict, especially when he is angry. Song Liqing does not even dare to look at him.
Song Liqing was caught eavesdropping and timidly shouted: "Father."
Song Yusheng was in trouble. Song Lin felt depressed and was not in the mood to correct her mistakes. He just stared. He glanced at her and left here.
Seeing that she was not scolded, Song Liqing breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the main room. When she saw her mother crying, she fell into her arms. She raised her head and asked: "Mother, brother Can you come back?”
Although Song Liqing was not very close to Song Yusheng, maybe it was because Song Yusheng didn't want to get close to her. No, more accurately, it was because Song Yusheng simply didn't like getting close to others. This is true even for relatives who are related to themselves by blood, let alone others.
Song Liqing doesn't like such a cold brother. Compared with him, even his cousins in the clan are much better than him.
But even if he doesn’t like him, he is still his biological brother.
Hearing her asking this, Mrs. Song cried even more. Seeing that she was crying so hard, Song Liqing did not dare to ask any more questions, and just stayed here to comfort her.

Wen Chu did not go to the town to set up a stall to read photos that day, but stayed at home. The weather is very good today, the spring scenery is bright, and the morning sun is shining, which is perfect for basking in the sun. She moved a deck chair outside and asked Song Yusheng to lie down.
"Master, it's a nice day today. You can lie down and bask in the sun to dissipate the bad luck."
Song Yusheng followed the instructions and walked in the direction of Wen Chu. When he saw him coming, Wen Chu Chu pointed to the recliner with a smile and said: "Come on, I have been choosing this seat for a long time. It is comfortable and not dazzling."
She seemed to have done something extraordinary, but that was it. He smiled and narrowed his eyes. The sun shone on her face, making her dimples white and pink.
Today she was not wearing Taoist uniform, and was wearing a very crude linen dress.
But even so, it does not conceal its bright style.
Song Yusheng looked down at her, his hands hidden in his sleeves uncontrollably shrinking slightly.
He suddenly felt that Wen Chu could not be Li Zhaoxi. What Li Zhaoxi went through back then was so tragic that even a cold-hearted person like Song Yusheng found it a bit cruel. If Li Zhaoxi was really alive, how could he be like Wen Chu?
So dazzling.
Heartless.
Even if she often lies to others and never tells the truth, with Wen Chu here, the dirty life here is not so unbearable.
Although Song Yusheng is unwilling to admit it, it seems to be the fact.
Seeing Song Yusheng in a daze, Wen Chu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, "What are you thinking about? Lie down quickly."
He came to his senses and lay down on the chair obediently. Wen Chu moved up a stool and put a copy of the Book of Changes on his lap to read. To learn Taoism, you need to read a lot of books and remember a lot of things. When Wen Chu has nothing to do, he will sit under the sun and read books like this.
Song Yusheng asked casually, "Did the girl learn her calligraphy from her grandfather?"
Wen Chu responded with a casual "hmm".
Most of her calligraphy was learned when she was young in the palace. Father Wen did know the calligraphy, but Wen Chu's calligraphy was not learned from him. Now that Song Yusheng asked this question, she could only respond in this way.
Song Yusheng was lying on the chair with his eyes half closed. From this direction, he could only catch a glimpse of Wen Chu's head and a little bit of his face. Perhaps the weather has been a bit hot recently, and her earlobes were slightly red under the sunlight.
Song Yusheng looked away.
In the small and dilapidated courtyard, the young girl looks like she is in a painting. Just looking at it is very beautiful.
He wanted to speak, but saw someone running from not far away. He had some impression of this person. He was the daughter of the aunt who came to Wen Chu's house to cook that day.
Wen Chu heard the noise and raised his head, seeing that Zhao Wenwen had run into the yard and arrived in a short while.
"What happened? You are so anxious." Wen Chu closed the book and looked up at Zhao Wenwen. Seeing that she was tired from running, he stood up and let her sit on a stool to rest.
Zhao Wenwen gasped and said, "Sister, did you tell Dr. Zhao's aunt's fortune before and said she could get pregnant?"
Wen Chu nodded and asked: "Is it possible to get pregnant?"
As expected, Zhao Wenwen nodded vigorously, "Sister, you are so amazing! People in the village used to say that she couldn't get pregnant, but I didn't expect it. You are really pregnant. How did you calculate it? "
Wen Chu smiled and just said: "My aunt is lucky, but she is pregnant, otherwise I will trick her."
Zhao Wenwen raised her head Looking at Wen Chu with admiration, "Sister, I thought these things were hoaxes before, but I didn't expect that they could actually be calculated. Then why didn't you tell people's fortunes when Father Wen was still here? If Do the calculation earlier If you make a living, you can earn a lot of money and eat a lot of meat!"
Wen Chu nodded her head and said with a smile: "Silly girl, we have to eat this meat! Not possible? ”
"But you like it, don't you?"
The smile on Wen Chu's face did not change, "I like it. I like a lot of things, but it doesn't mean that I must get it if I like it. Grandpa worked hard to I have been pulled until now, if I were Isn’t it a bit disgusting to be so greedy and greedy, insisting on eating delicious food and wearing silk and satin?”
When Zhao Wenwen heard Wen Chu ask this, she couldn’t help but nodded. If so, It's really a bit shameful.
For Wen Chu, it is good to live like this now. Even if she lives in poverty, it is still a luxury for her. Of course, after returning Song Yusheng to the Song family, leaving here and going to a distant place, life will be even more comfortable.
The more Wen Chu thought about it, the more he felt that the future was bright and promising.
wrong! Zhao Wenwen quickly realized that she was led into a ditch by Wen Chu. What she wanted to ask was why Wen Chu was unwilling to tell people's fortunes before, not whether she liked eating meat!
She wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Wen Chu, "Is this what you came here to talk about?"
Only then did Zhao Wenwen remember her purpose, and she patted her forehead. Said: "No, no, my mother will see you You didn’t go to town today. Let me ask you to come to my house for dinner tonight.”
When Wen Chu goes to town, he always goes to Aunt Yang’s house and rides in her husband’s oxcart. Today she didn’t come to visit, Yang said. The aunt then knew that she did not go to town.
Song Yusheng had already sat up from the recliner, with his hands on his knees, his expression calm, and he listened quietly to the two people talking from beginning to end. Wen Chu looked at him and wanted to ask him if he was going.
She was afraid that Song Yusheng wouldn't be able to adapt to this, and he didn't recognize those people, so he would inevitably be a little embarrassed after going there. The two people's eyes collided for a moment, and before Wen Chu could ask a question, he heard Song Yusheng say: "I can do it, don't worry about me."
In Zhao Wenwen's eyes, the two people's actions were tantamount to " "Brows convey affection", her words With a bit of excitement, she said: "Sister Wen Chu, you... are you..."
A man and a woman live together in the same room. Moreover, they are similar in age and have such good looks, it is difficult for others not to notice. Thinking of going somewhere else.
