Chapter 402: Chapter 403

The entire great room of the Hengshan Royal House was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

This is not surprising, Kong’s only entered the door although the heel on the foot of a son, but because of the second young lady Jin would like to dip a heir edge, hard to carry the child over to raise – the results do not know whether the child itself has a problem, or Jin is not attentive, in any case, not a full month is gone.

To be Kong’s out of the month before knowing, with Jin’s theories and was angry with her, after a serious illness, even a few years have not moved!

How could the eldest house not be happy to have a son at last?

“It’s like I’m in a dream until now!” When Kong saw Song Yixiao, the tears in the corners of her eyes had not dried, and she said bluntly, “Two years ago, I thought I would never have a child again – I didn’t expect to have today!”

Her nursemaid also wiped her tears, sighing at her bitter sweetness, and of course, she had to persuade her, “Grandmother, stop crying quickly, this is a happy thing! It’s a happy thing to do, and it’s not a good idea to shed tears during the month.”

Song Yixiao and her nurse persuaded her for a while before Kong barely managed to collect her tears, and made amends to Song Yixiao, “I heard that father asked the eighth sister to follow you to Mulberry? Speaking of which, those of us who are brothers and sisters-in-law really can’t apologize to the eighth sister, after my mother left, we were supposed to take care of the eighth sister, but I didn’t want to tire you out for these many days! Now you still have to bring her back and forth.”

“What are you talking about, Mrs. Kong?” Song Yixiao laughed softly and said, “That’s my sister too, you’re too busy and I’m free, so if I don’t take care of her, who will? Besides, when you first suggested that I take her over, it was for her own good, so how could I not realize your sister-in-law’s painstaking efforts?”

Kong’s place is not a lot of her to celebrate today, so Song YiXiao talked to her for a while, and then left to go to Lu Guanyun’s courtyard.

On the way, she thought about it, and in the end, she went to the Fifth Young Grandmother first.

The fifth young granny has thin eyebrows and long eyes, her skin is fair, and she is an honest person by her face.

Although she has been in charge of Hengshan Wang Fu for more than half a year, this will meet Song Yixiao, but still some trepidation, a face to face to ask for forgiveness that they did not take good care of Lu Zhuo Er – Song Yixiao was not easy to explain clearly that he is not over to ask for forgiveness, but specifically to see her.

After a good talk, the fifth young granny calmed down, but she didn’t know to find something to talk about or something, in the end, it was Song Yixiao herself who managed to find a way to pull a meeting with her, seeing that this young granny seemed to be struggling to socialize, she let out a secret sigh, and had to take her leave.

Followed by going to see Lu Guanyun again, it was nearly noon.

She draped in the autumn sun to enter the door, but saw the grass is still luxuriant in the courtyard, a half-covered half-open window, a small boy is sitting behind the case with his size does not match, holding a book, is reading aloud.

Lu Guanyun had obviously sensed that his sister had come, but was not the least bit moved – Song Yixiao had no intention of disturbing him either, and waited outside the door since.

After a long time, he finally finished reading a paragraph before he put down his scroll, jumped off the stool, and ran out joyfully, “Sister, you’re here?”

“Yes!” Since Wei Mengying’s death, due to one reason or another, the two siblings hadn’t been alone for a long time, and considering Lu Zhuoer’s situation, Song YiXiao was afraid to see any bad changes in her brother when she came back. When she saw him still in good spirits, she was relieved and leaned over to hug him while smiling, “Zhuo’er is also here! Thuo’er still remembers brother?”

“Thuo’er come and let brother hug you!” Who would have thought that Lu Guanyun but deftly let go, avoiding her arm, to tease her skirt Lu Thuoer, and some complained, “Sister, I’ve already entered the school, you hugged me again, so that people will laugh if they see it!”

Song Yixiao had originally felt lost because he wouldn’t let her hug him, but she really couldn’t help but laugh at his words, “How old are you? We’re siblings, what’s so funny!”

“Anyway, sister don’t hug me in the future!” Lu Guanyun was only seven years old this year and naturally struggled to hold the four year old Lu Zhuo’er, so he didn’t hold her for a while before putting her down, and had to regretfully touch his sister’s head, and justified, “I’m not a three or four year old child anymore!”

“!” Song Yixiao thought for a moment, and then suddenly walked over and stiffly picked him up for a moment before putting him down, grunting, “Six or seven years old is also a child in my sister’s opinion–you don’t think about how many years older you are than your niece? Still pretending to be an adult in front of me!”

Seeing Lu Guanyun flatten her mouth in aggravation, Song Yixiao busily coaxed again, “Sister hasn’t seen you for a long time, isn’t this missing you too much?”

Speaking here, seeing Lu Zhuo’er just looking quietly without making a sound, he slowed down his tone, squatted down and said, “Zhuo’er, this is your seventh brother, have you forgotten? Come on, shout brother.”

Although Lu Guanyun and Lu Zhuoer are siblings with the same father and mother, they are closer than Song Yixiao, but they don’t spend much time together. This is because Lu Thuoer is too small, and he can not play with a piece, and Wei Mengying on this only son has high hopes, he said six years old enrollment, in fact, three years old Wei Mengying idle to teach him something.

Since enrolling in school, that’s even less time to bond with my sister.

So at this moment, when she saw Lu Zhuo’er looking at herself but not shouting, she didn’t realize that there was anything wrong, and only laughed and teased her, “If you call out to the seventh brother, the seventh brother will get you a pastry to eat, okay?”

Song Yixiao looked at his sunny smiling face, then looked at her silent sister, and really didn’t know what to feel in her heart – it wasn’t that she thought her brother was heartless, it was just that it occurred to her that the reason why this younger brother still maintained such a gloomless mood after losing his birth mother was mostly because after Wei Mengying’s accident, no matter if it was King Hengshan or Mother Bo, the most protected was him.

Inevitably, I felt aggrieved for my two sisters.

“It’s a ridiculous thought even for me; do I have to be happy when my brother is as silent as my sister?” But then she whirled around and felt guilty: she knew she sympathized more with her sisters, and besides the fact that the two sisters were indeed pitifully indeed neglected, it was also because of the same sickness.

All the suffering she had endured in her two lives was actually due to being a daughter in the end.

If she was the Song family’s eldest son rather than eldest daughter, even if Wei Mengying remarried, Mrs. Pang might not be willing to do anything about it – so brother versus sister, she always couldn’t help but think more in her sisters’ shoes.

However, Hengshan King and thin mother and other people again bias, in the end, can not say that Lu Guanyun’s fault, Song Yixiao therefore complex, but as if the younger brother has a stigma.

She shook her head to shake off the distractions and watched as Lu Guanyun teased Lu Zhuo’er for a while, then tiptoed to fetch a piece of shortbread from the table to her sister – Lu Zhuo’er looked away and received it in her hand, but didn’t eat it.

“Yun’er, where’s mom Bo?” Song Yi smiled as she watched her brother continue to coax her sister, and after a moment’s contemplation, she spoke out, “Is she not serving at your place today?”

She was thinking that if Bo’s mom could hide from her today, could she hide from herself for the rest of her life?

I didn’t want Lu Guanyun to be surprised, “Sister, you don’t know? Mother Bo left when she was at Cui Hua Mountain.”

“Gone?” Song Yixiao was taken aback and said, “Where did she go?”

“I heard fifth sister-in-law say that she went back to her old home.” Lu Guanyun said, “As for where mom’s old home is, I don’t know – either sister go ask fifth sister-in-law?”

Speaking of this old servant, he exuded nostalgia, “In the past, when I was studying it was mom who served me, and occasionally mom would do some specialty snacks, that acacia flower cake was so delicious! It’s a pity that mom didn’t tell me when she left, fifth sister-in-law said she had something going on at home, otherwise she would have wanted to stay and take care of me!”

“Is that so?” Song Yixiao mused, glancing at Suzu, seeing that Suzu shook her head slightly, indicating that she did not know about this matter either, so she said to her younger brother, “You stay here with Thuo’er, and elder sister will go and ask your fifth sister-in-law – in the end, mother Bo is the person our mother left behind, and she doesn’t know what’s going on in her family, and even said that she’s gone! ”

Lu Guanyun nodded his head understandingly, “Go ahead sister, I will take care of my sister.”

And again, “Tell me when your sister asks?”

“Good!” Song Yi smiled and pinched his cheek, and when he pushed his hand away in exasperation, Fang laughed and got up to leave.

The fifth young granny saw her go and return, and this time did not bring Lu Zhuoer, thought she is now to settle accounts, look suddenly showed fear, Song Yi smile helplessly thought, “No wonder sister-in-law said she can not suppress the people underneath, this look, is a heart heart of the underlings, also want to feel that she is good at bullying it?”

Sighing in her heart, Song Yixiao directly stated her intention, “I heard Yun’er say that the thin mom at my mother’s place had something to do with her family a few days ago and went back? But I don’t know what it is?”

“That’s the rhetoric to coax Yun’er.” Fifth Young Grandmother was relieved to see her ask this, and said in a thin voice, “In reality, Mother Bo is no more!”

“No more?” Song Yixiao stunned, “How is it gone?!”

“Her son was working in the Wang Fu’s manor, and was somehow misunderstood … ” The fifth young granny considered the wording before continuing, “was misunderstood to have molested a young daughter-in-law of a manor house, and the woman’s father-in-law and husband are both The woman’s father and husband are both extremely violent. The woman’s father-in-law and husband are both extremely violent in nature. After hearing the news, he became intent on killing, and even took advantage of the time when mom Bo occasionally went over to see her son, and blocked the family in the room and set it on fire, so the family was …”

Song Yixiao was very surprised, “When was this? Why have I never heard of it?”

Thin mother’s husband is gone, she only has an only son, has married, is said to have several children, counting a family of at least seven or eight people, plus thin mother as Wei Mengying’s first beloved, the family to buy a few small maid service is affordable – even if their family in the eyes of the higher-ups are also just slave girls, in the end, so many lives, but also happened at the foot of the Emperor, how could it be silent, even Song Yixiao and this kind of quite close to the people did not hear about the news? In the end, so many people’s lives, but also happened at the foot of the Emperor, how could it be silent, even Song Yixiao this kind of people with thin mother have quite a connection did not hear the news?

“At that time, the Lu family had just been copied, and all of Cui Hua Mountain was talking about the Lu family, so I don’t think many people cared about such a simple case.” Fifth Young Grandmother explained, “And Father thought that the seventh brother was grown up under the watchful eye of Mother Bo, and knowing such bad news would be heartbreaking, so he instructed everyone to just say that Mother Bo had something to go back to her hometown – he didn’t say anything to your side for fear that you’d be upset!”

Song Yixiao frowned and didn’t answer: how could she possibly be sad about the death of Bo’s mother?

In fact, if Mother Bo had not died, she would have been wondering whether to keep this old servant before she came here today!

Just–

Fifth Young Granny said something about molesting a banker and being exterminated, that’s too much of a coincidence, isn’t it?

I’m afraid it’s not just about extermination, it’s about, uh, extermination?

She immediately thought of Gu Shao, and her eyes couldn’t help but chill.
