Chapter 360: Chapter 361

Lu sniffed, tears flowed before she spoke, saying, “Husband went away so early, besides Missy, the oldest, Yibao, is only six years old, still a girl, what can she do?”

Seeing this, Song Yixiao could only softly and warmly comfort – it was not easy to persuade Lu to stop crying, she wiped her face with a handkerchief, lifted her head, and sincerely said, “So I won’t hide it from Missy: the Song family’s ancestor left behind ten thousand slivers of family wealth, Missy would like to have knowledge of it?”

If it is not the two years Song Yuan has given his daughter, granddaughter things, Song Yixiao really do not know that the Song family’s family base is so rich – at this moment, heard the words, a thought, but the next words of Lu guessed a eight . I’m not sure I’m right.

Sure enough, when Lu saw her look, she sighed slightly and continued, “In fact, the letter that Missy saw, was opened and read by me, the reason why that envelope was empty was because, it was re-sealed by me. I couldn’t imitate my husband’s handwriting, so I had to write nothing.”

She laughed at herself, “I don’t mean anything else before I open it, my husband went in a hurry, didn’t even give me a sentence to stay with Bao’er and them, but only left a letter to Missy. I will be careful eyes, want to see what husband gentleman to say with the big miss … result but see, husband gentleman want to give the big miss with yao’er the same family property, frankly speaking, just saw when, I heart is not very painful.”

“I also don’t think it’s quite right for Father to do this.” Song Yi smiled and calmly said, “After all, I’m a woman on the one hand, and on the other, I’ve long since left the court. I’ve never heard of a daughter who has left the court having to share her family’s assets with her mother’s family.”

Lu shook her head and said: ”Husband has already stated in the letter that he is ashamed of Missy, and the division of Missy’s property is also to make up for it. So I’m not thinking that Missy shouldn’t take that share – I’m just very sad: it’s true that Husband is good to Bao’er and the three of them, but in that letter, except for the part about dividing the family estate, he didn’t even mention them in a word, much less me! I …”

Speaking here, she couldn’t help but whimper again, “Three children, one six years old and two three years old, adding up to only twelve years old! He was so cruel to go! Before he went, he didn’t even leave us a word! Even though the family has a lot of money, how can it be compared to others?”

Song Yixiao heard here narrowed his eyes, said, “Mother do not put words so early, this will be no outsiders in, I’ll be honest: I know that mother has always been good to me, the problem is that the Song family now still have grandmother in the hall, you are willing to follow the father’s intention, the family business divided into me, but I do not know that grandmother is willing to nod?”

“Mother indeed does not agree.” Lu stopped sobbing at her words, and a flash of determination flashed across her pale face, “But don’t worry, Missy: I will definitely convince her!”

She cried again, “After all, my husband left such a letter down before he was born, no matter what he instructed in it, yet how can I bear to disobey it?”

Song Yixiao gave her a deep look and said: ”Speaking of which, when Father was dying, was Mother still sick? Otherwise, why wouldn’t she have been at his bedside? If that was the case, how could father not have had something to tell you?”

“What can I say?” When Lu heard this, her whole body went limp, and she bawled, “I can only blame my body for not being able to compete – the days when my husband was dying, I was also very sick! Mother was worried that I would not be able to bear the bad news when I was sick, and told Bao’er that they had lost their father, and could not afford to lose their mother! So she kept me in the dark and just told me that my husband was getting better!”

She cried her heart out as she crouched on the chair, “I believed it, so I concentrated on toning my body, thinking to get better before he was all better and still take over his care for a few days!”

“Who knows!”

“I was finally able to get off the ground and wanted to go see him, and that’s when Mother told me that he … he went two days ago!!!”

“The last I saw of him was actually watching him from afar between the ice jams!”

Song Yixiao’s face was expressionless, her eyes lowered to hide the trepidation under her eyes, and she sighed, “The deceased has passed away, and I ask for Mother’s condolences!”

“In short, please, my lady, do accept what Husband has given you!” Lu wiped her face haphazardly, smiled miserably, and solemnly said, “I wasn’t able to serve my husband when he was seriously injured; when he left, he was also alone, with only Mother accompanying him, and he didn’t even get to see one of his children! As a husband and wife, this is the last thing I can do for him–otherwise, when he is in the grave, how can I have the face to explain to him?”

She choked back a sob and said, “I only beg you, if you can say, for the sake of your husband, who is gone, that he is forgiven, will you?”

“… I forgive him.” Song Yixiao smiled to herself in her heart, what could she do if she didn’t forgive? As Lu said, people are dead, what’s the point of holding a grudge?

Not to mention, his death, no chance …

She fixed her mind and said, “However, I won’t take the things. My late father has only just gone, so I’m taking things from my mother’s family, and if word gets out, who won’t say that I’m bullying my younger siblings when they’re young?”

Waving her hand to stop Lu’s next words, she said, “Speaking of which I haven’t seen my grandmother for some days, I wonder, if I can pay my respects today?”

“Mother’s body has not been very good lately, she has been lying on the couch, even when I brought Bao’er to ask for peace, I did not see her!” Lu sniffed, revealing a look of difficulty, “Moreover, listening to the people serving mother, mother these days, her mood is not very good either …”

Normally, without her hinting that Mrs. Pang had no good face when she saw her, Song Yixiao wouldn’t bother to pay attention to this grandmother.

But she was suspicious of Old Lady Pang at the moment, but refused to be dismissed so easily, “Ever since father died, I haven’t been able to pay my grandmother a visit, and my heart is really guilty.”

Said the man looking straight at Lou.

After a long time, Lu could only get up, “Eldest Miss Pure Filial Piety, please also follow me!”

The place where Elder Lady Pang lived had not changed, and Song Yixiao followed Lu all the way there, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenes along the way, with a faint melancholy in her heart.

Remembering that she used to, this was the path she was most afraid to take.

For no other reason, even when Wei Mengying was still in the Song family, it was definitely nothing good when Old Lady Pang wanted to see her eldest granddaughter.

Either she found various reasons to reprimand her, or words knocked her, don’t learn from her own mother – after Liu’s entrance, under the provocation of this stepmother, Old Lady Pang hated Song Yixiao more and more, the words when summoned that were even more unpleasant.

Song Yixiao in her early childhood even felt a little shivering every time she stepped onto this road.

–Good thing those nightmares are behind us.

When Song Yixiao came back to her senses, she had already stood outside Old Lady Pang’s courtyard.

Lu straightened her dress before ordering Zhang Cuiniang to go up and knock on the door.

A few moments later, a mother-in-law opened the door in a gruff voice, did not even look at who was outside, has been repeatedly rebuked, “are all deaf? Didn’t you hear the old lady say two days ago that she wanted to be quiet recently? In broad daylight, what’s all the noise about?”

Song Yixiao vaguely remembers that this granny is always serving in front of Old Lady Pang, seems to be surnamed Lu.

By this time, Mrs. Lu had already seen Lu, but she still had no intention to restrain herself, and after a cursory bow, she said in a conspiratorial manner: ”Yo, why is grandma here? It’s really a rare guest! However, the slave girl can’t invite you in to sit down, after all, two days ago, the old madam personally said, let you do not come to disturb this period of time is not it?”

Lu’s carefully compensated for the smile, “I since do not dare to go against the mother’s will, just this day the eldest young lady came back …”

“Grandma that’s just not true!” Granny Lu didn’t even look at Song Yixiao and said with a smirk, “It’s said that a woman who marries outside the door splashes water outside the door – the eldest young lady has long since left the cabinet, so how can you still say that she’s coming back? Could it be that in grandma’s mind, the Lu family is your home, and you’re a guest in the Song family instead?”

“Of course not-” Lu’s face reddened, wanting to part with a defense for a moment but not knowing how to say it.

Song Yixiao didn’t raise any suspicions about this scene-after all, when she had come to see her grandmother before, people before her grandmother had spoken worse words than this, and Lu’s impression of her had always been gentle to the point of weakness.

So he gave Jinxian a wink, and Jinxian understood and stepped forward, “My wife is here to visit her in-laws, what kind of a thing are you, a slave girl, daring to stand in the way here?!”

Granny Lu glanced at her, hey crossed her arms and blocked the portal, saying, “How about I just block it? Madam? Mrs. Guo is great? When the Empress meets the State Abbot and his wife, she still has to call her father and mother! How come Missy has climbed up the ladder and doesn’t care about old madam?”

She said disdainfully, “The dog still has to look at the master, if you really don’t put the old madam in your eyes, it’s nothing to make someone drag the slave girl down!”

Song Yixiao coldly said, “I have something I need to see my grandmother today, if you think you can scare me like this, then you’re overthinking it!”

Saying that, he beckoned, and the two healthy women behind him turned out and began to roll up their sleeves, obviously intending to force their way in!

Seeing this, Granny Lu revealed a flash of panic and subconsciously looked at Lu, “What do you mean by this, Granny? Shouting for Missy to come back to help you deal with Old Madam isn’t it?!”

Lu’s face was also terrified, tugging at Song Yixiao’s arm and pleading, “Miss must not! My mother is not in a good mood these days, if she gets angry and injures herself, how will you and I explain it to the world?”

“Grandma should think carefully!” Perhaps seeing that Lu was easy to bully, Granny Lu was arrogant again, “No matter how much Missy makes trouble, after hiding back in the Duke of Yan’s mansion, there will be the Grand Princess of Jin and the Duke of Yan to protect her! But Grandma, do you intend to hide back in the Lu family?”

Hearing this Zhang Cuiniang’s face was pale as she knelt down for Song Yixiao, “Please be compassionate to our grandmother, Miss! Our grandmother … our grandmother these days … these days …”

She was choking and couldn’t go on, when the sound of porcelain breaking suddenly came from the courtyard, followed by another granny running out in a panic, looked outside and lowered her voice to complain, “Aigoo, you don’t look at the place! Where can’t you make a noise and come here – the old madam got angry! She said that if you continue to make noise like this, no matter who you are, you will be expelled from the residence!”

This time Lu was going to kneel for Song Yixiao as well – looking at this stepmother’s panicked expression, Song Yixiao hesitated for a moment and could only helplessly shake her head, “Let’s go!”

Her grandmother’s ruthlessness may not be below her own mother, really made it to the point of no return, she was nothing, Lu’s mother and son, if the anger was taken, I really do not know what Mrs. Pang will do now?

Song Yixiao couldn’t bear to involve the innocent in the end, so she could only let out a dark sigh and left Old Lady Pang’s courtyard.

Taking her leave on the way out of the mansion, she asked Lu with the hope of an unlikely outcome, “Mother remember when I was only pregnant with Qing Yue that time, father asked you to bring me a box with a token inside, what was it?”

Seeing Lu’s bewilderment, she asked again, “Does Mother know about the Song family’s successive generations of secret guards?”

Looking at her stepmother’s confused look, she sighed again and left disappointed.

But do not know that she front foot before leaving, back foot Lu and others are also out of a cold sweat, “Well at least this Missy perfunctory past!”

“I didn’t expect that the eldest young miss would actually ask to see the old madam this day!” Zhang Cuiniang wiped her cold sweat in fear and said, “Thanks to her not barging in in the end! Otherwise, seeing the old madam like that …”

Although Granny Lu and the others speculated that Lu was trying to show Song Yixiao favor by treating her mother-in-law that way.

But this is the kind of thing that is all about the heart – and once it’s crashed, it can be a pain in the ass!

“Seeing this scene today, I am relieved!” Lu took the pad handed over by Zhang Cuiniang and wiped her forehead, but she let out a long breath and murmured, “In the end, Missy still has compassion for us mother and son, but it’s for her grandmother … However, it’s the mother-in-law who brought this on herself!”

A murderous intent flashed in Lu’s eyes as she calmly commanded, “Since everything is ready, let’s do it on the following day!”

“Lest Husband, he, waits impatiently underground!!!”
