Chapter 216 Uninvited Guests

Zhucui and Chengmao still lived together in the county town, helping Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun with some daily chores.

Song Jingyun continued to study at Wende Academy, while Jiang Mixia continued to draw new patterns for Qiu Ji.

In addition to some of the patterns that were previously intended for making puppets for Qiu Ji, some patterns carved on furniture have now been added.

After being busy for a while, the northwest wind started to blow, and Jiang Mixia bought an extra layer of clothes for Song Jingyun.

Along with the October chill came two uninvited guests.

They are Song Jingyun’s uncle Song Fengshou and his aunt Tang.

When the two people came, Song Jingyun was studying in the academy and Jiang Mixia was drawing patterns at home. When she learned of their identities, she welcomed them into the house and asked Zhucui to pour them some tea.

"Uncle, aunt, have some tea." Jiang Mixia greeted with a smile.

"Good boy." Song Fengshou chuckled, picked up the tea and drank half a cup, "This tea tastes really good."

"That's right. After all, the tea from the scholar's family tastes better than that from ordinary families." Tang smiled and looked up at the furnishings in the room. Her smile became even more intense. "This room is also very beautiful."

"This house is not small and is close to the street. I guess it is not cheap."

Seeing that Tang's words were vulgar, Song Fengshou touched her with his arm, signaling her to shut up, and then said to Jiang Mixia with a smile, "Women are gossipy, so your niece-in-law doesn't need to pay attention to her."

"Uncle, you're welcome." Jiang Mixia smiled politely. "Come to think of it, I haven't seen you two elders for a few years. I wonder what brought you here suddenly today?"

In one sentence, he mentioned that the two families had not been in contact with each other in the past few years and had become estranged from each other.

Song Fengshou smiled and scratched his head, "Our two families are relatives, so we should visit each other, but Jing Yun is married into your family after all, so it would not be nice if we come often, so we can only suppress this idea."

"Speaking of what happened today... Since my niece-in-law asked, I won't beat around the bush."

"Jing Yun has become a juren, so he will be an official in the future. If people know that Jing Yun is a son-in-law of the Jiang family, I am afraid that they will look down on Jing Yun, and he will not be able to do his job well. So I thought it would be better to let Jing Yun recognize his ancestry and return to the Song family. In the future, Jing Yun will no longer be a son-in-law of the Jiang family, but a legitimate descendant of the Song family."

"But even if Jing Yun returns, your niece-in-law will still be the daughter-in-law of the Song family, so it won't affect anything. If Jing Yun becomes an official, you, your niece-in-law, will still be the wife of an official, and you will enjoy the wealth and glory with him."

"I also know that since we have let Jing Yun become a live-in son-in-law before, it would be a bit awkward for us to take Jing Yun back now. But for Jing Yun's future, we have to swallow our pride and do this."

"This is all for Jing Yun's future. You are a virtuous niece-in-law, and you always consider Jing Yun in everything. You should also think about this matter carefully and see if this is the truth."

After hearing this, Jiang Mixia frowned.

It is said that one does not visit a temple for no reason, and the same is true for Song Fengshou and Tang Shi.

This time he came to the county town specifically with the intention of bringing Song Jingyun back to the Song family.

Seeing Jiang Mixia remained silent, Song Fengshou hurriedly said, "My second brother originally had Jing Yun as his descendant. As your niece-in-law, you are also a filial son. You should not watch my second brother's lineage become extinct, right..."
