Chapter 39: Letter from Home

Song Rui's complicated thoughts,

Song Yu had no way of knowing.

He spent two consecutive days in the room practicing his medical skills.

Chen Chunhua's condition has improved slightly, but she still feels tired and has severe sleepiness.

This is of course pretending. Even if I can't sleep, I have to close my eyes and pretend to be asleep.

Song Mingen knew it well and continued to act with her.

That night, just as Song Yu was about to go to bed, Bai Lan entered the room with a letter.

"Miss, there is a letter, there really is a letter!"

Song Yu jumped out of bed and took the letter from Bai Lan.

(Dear mother, respectfully presented by Mingzhu) The words suddenly appeared before my eyes.

"It's really a letter from my aunt. Lan'er, quickly bring the razor blade."

Song Yu took some effort and carefully opened the envelope with a blade, then took out two pages of paper.

Song Yu thought he would discover the truth about the murder of his family of three.

Instead, Song Mingzhu was going to come back to take her to Beijing and had already found a man for her.

Just wait for her to come to the capital, and if both parties like each other, they will arrange the marriage.

"Miss, what's in the letter?"

"My aunt will be back in a few days, and then we can go to the capital together."

"That's great. My uncle is a high-ranking official in Beijing, and my aunt is the wife of an official. When she comes back to visit her family this time, she will definitely be accompanied by highly skilled guards. Then, when we go to the Yunyin Inn halfway up the mountain, we'll have a better chance of winning against the bandits."

Song Yu raised his eyes to look at her. "Have you forgotten? Last time I told you that in my dream, only our East Courtyard people were killed by horse bandits, but my aunt and the others survived."

"this……"

A thought flashed through Bai Lan's mind so quickly that Bai Lan couldn't catch it.

"Then aren't the people in our East Court too miserable?"

"Don't be afraid. This dream is a warning to us. We can avoid it if we take precautions in advance."

Bai Lan quickly calmed down and said, "Then let's go to the hot spring villa tomorrow to mix more medicine powder?"

"Okay." Song Yu resealed the letter and handed it to Bai Lan. "Give it to Ah Si and have him put it back unopened. Don't let the other party find out."

"Don't worry, Miss. Ah Si said that the man sleeps like a dead pig and won't wake up until noon."

The next day, Song Yu told Song Mingen and Jiang Yunwan the contents of the letter.

"No wonder I haven't seen that kid Ah Si these past few days. I guess you assigned him to guard the city gate."

Song Yu pinched Jiang Yunwan's shoulders, smiled and said nothing.

Seeing Song Mingen lowering his eyes in thought, Jiang Yunwan asked, "Song Mingzhu wrote back this time asking Sister Yu to follow her to the capital. Do you think she's really doing this for Sister Yu's own good, or is there some other reason?"

Song Mingen said, "Regardless of whether it's sincere or not, at least so far, Mingzhu has no intention of killing us... Bringing Sister Yu to Beijing was probably Wu Lingheng's idea, using Sister Yu's marriage to gain benefits for his official career."

Jiang Yunwan's face darkened. "If that's the case, then the in-laws found for Sister Yu are definitely not good families. They're either old or have many wives and concubines."

Jiang Yunwan's knowledge forced her to think so.

"Dad and Mom, in my dream, Song Mingzhu didn't mention this when she came back, and neither did Chen Chunhua. We packed up for a few days and then set off for the capital, which is when the scene of the clouds disappearing halfway up the mountain occurred in my dream."

The couple fell silent after hearing this.

After a while, Song Mingen said, "Then our murder is probably related to my background?"

"How could it be because of Daddy?"

Song Yu really wanted to say that it might be related to her life experience.

But she couldn't let her parents know that she already knew she was not their biological daughter.

"Didn't the letter say that we were only taking you to the capital? Your aunt doesn't know your mother's background yet, nor does she know that we are all going to the capital. If I'm not mistaken, she will immediately write to the capital to inform Wu Lingheng as soon as she learns about your mother's background. Only after Wu Lingheng replies will we set off for the capital."

Song Yu thought for a moment and said, "No, it seems that after Song Mingzhu came back, we set off for the capital seven days later. Is seven days enough for a round trip?"

Song Mingen said, "It's completely sufficient to send a letter back and forth by expedited delivery, but it's not enough to send people disguised as horse bandits to lay out a plan near Yunyin Mountain in advance, unless..."

"Unless Chen Chunhua has already sent a letter to the capital!" Jiang Yunwan immediately realized, "Chen Chunhua has already sent a letter to the capital after learning about my background. Song Mingzhu's letter is on the way and has missed Chen Chunhua's letter!"

Song Yu's expression was solemn. "So, Wu Lingheng wants to kill the three of us?"

"It must be him." Song Mingen felt relieved. "I shouldn't have married Mingzhu to her in the first place, but Mingzhu insisted on marrying him."

Jiang Yunwan frowned, her face uneasy. "Do you think Song Mingzhu is innocent of the murder of our family of three? The entire Song family is innocent and excusable?"

"I...that's not what I meant." Song Mingen quickly explained.

"That's what you mean. How could Chen Chunhua, who raised you, and your younger siblings, possibly harm you? It was all Wu Lingheng's idea!"

"Wanwan, don't be angry, don't be angry, I really didn't mean that."

Jiang Yunwan stood up, avoided the hand extended by Song Mingen, and pulled Song Yu away.

"You know whether you have any lucky thoughts in your heart! Don't forget Sister Yu's prophetic dream. Song Rui tricked Sister Yu into going to the county and almost ruined her innocence. They are bad from the root, and you are still deceiving yourself!"

"If you can't figure it out, you'll continue to be a slave to the Song family! I'll take Sister Yu back to Beijing by myself! Sister Yu, let's go."

"Wanwan! Don't go, I was wrong." Song Mingen hurriedly chased after her, "I really didn't mean that. You can't leave me."

Caiwei and others were shocked. What was going on?

Did the master make the lady angry?

Song Mingen quickly switched from his right hand to his left hand and tightly grabbed Song Yu's sleeve.

Song Yu was in a difficult position, caught in the middle. The servants were all watching. "Mother, shall we go back to the house?"

Jiang Yunwan was still angry and looked at Caiwei and others.

Caiwei and others quickly left the yard.

"Wanwan..."

"Daddy and Mom, come in." Song Yu quickly pulled the two of them in.

"The letter will be delivered to Chen Chunhua this afternoon. Before Song Mingzhu comes back, I still need to draw a peace amulet at the temple. I will pack up immediately and go to the hot spring villa. When Song Mingzhu comes back, please send a message in advance and I will go to the temple again."

"Sister Yu, mother is sending you this."

Jiang Yunwan was still angry and didn't want to see Song Mingen. She needed to calm down.

"I'll take you there." Song Mingen looked at Jiang Yunwan carefully.

"Daddy and Mommy, Bai Lan and the others know the way, so there's no need to send them off."

After saying this, Song Yu ran out of the room as if escaping.

Daddy, please comfort Mommy as soon as possible!

She doesn't know how to make a choice!

"Wanwan, Wu Lingheng is the mastermind. Song Mingzhu is not innocent. None of them are innocent."

Jiang Yunwan exhaled, "Do you really think so?"
