Chapter 47 Song Mingzhu persuades Chen Chunhua

"Master Shanhui's interpretation of the hexagrams is not very impressive, and there is no good method."

"Nonsense!" Chen Chunhua glared at her. "Wushuang Temple is so popular because Master Shanhui is an accomplished monk. His interpretations are accurate and effective. He must have a solution. Tell me now."

"Master Shanhui meant for Song Yu to return to the Marquisate to recognize her ancestral roots. Your eldest granddaughter has grown up in the Marquisate and lived a life of luxury and comfort, like a noble lady."

"If she wasn't the legitimate daughter of a marquisate, but the legitimate daughter of a mere fifth-rank official, how could she bear such a huge gap?"

Chen Chunhua was silent for a moment. "Your elder brother and sister-in-law have raised Song Yu for thirteen years. They have feelings for her and will definitely not let her go back to the Marquis' Mansion. The same goes for your daughter. The Marquis' Mansion has raised her so well, they may not be willing to let her go back to the Wu family. Don't insist on letting her go back to the Wu family. The Marquis' Mansion will definitely not let her go back to the Wu family."

Song Mingzhu said, "That's true, but the Marquis' Mansion can't possibly ignore the matter of the child swap. What will happen to the Wu family, Ah Heng, and me then?"

"Song Yu is a filial child who loves you, her aunt. She has never done farm work in the Song family. Your eldest brother has arranged for her to have a maid to serve her. When the time comes, just ask her to plead with her biological parents. If they still care about your daughter, they will definitely not go too far against the Wu family. Okay, let's do it."

Chen Chunhua is happy just thinking about it now. Not only does they have the Jiang family as their backing, but they also have the Marquis' Mansion. Their Song family's rapid rise to prominence is just around the corner.

"No, mother, Song Yu cannot return to the Marquis' Mansion!"

Song Mingzhu didn't want to take any risks.

Chen Chunhua's face darkened. "Getting the Marquis's forgiveness is the best way out. With the Jiang family and the Marquis's Mansion as a backer, not only the Song family but also the Wu family will benefit."

"Mother, don't forget that Song Yu is the true legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. My daughter Huanhuan is not of the Marquis's bloodline after all."

"The royal family is marrying into the Marquisate because they're interested in the Marquisate's power. Once Song Yu and Huanhuan's identities become known to the royal family, Huanhuan won't be able to marry into the royal family, and she won't be able to rule the country in the future."

"Mother of the nation?" Chen Chunhua was shocked. "Your...daughter, my...eldest granddaughter will be the queen in the future?"

"The situation in the capital can't be explained in a few words. The Marquis' Mansion holds military power and is the target of many royal marriage proposals. If Huanhuan loses her status as the Marquis's legitimate daughter, ascending to the throne will be out of reach. If Song Yu returns to the capital, Huanhuan will lose everything."

"This..." Chen Chunhua hesitated, "Are you sure your eldest granddaughter will be able to ascend to the throne in the future?"

Song Mingzhu affirmed, "If Song Yu doesn't go to the capital, he won't pose a threat to Huanhuan. Rui'er and Han'er, if they are favored by Elder Jiang, they will surely attract the attention of the current emperor."

"His two brothers serve as officials in the court and secretly support Huanhuan. Huanhuan will definitely ascend to the throne. Only Huanhuan will become the most honored woman in the Dayuan Dynasty. Rui Ge'er and Rui Ge'er will have the merit of following the new emperor. The Song and Wu families will definitely become powerful and noble, and may even be granted titles of nobility and become prime ministers."

"A title of nobility or prime minister?"

"That's right. If Song Yu returns to the Marquis' Mansion, who will benefit from this?"

Chen Chunhua thought for a moment and said, "Of course it's still our Song family."

Song Mingzhu: ...

"It will certainly fall on our Song family, but the ones who will benefit the most are my eldest brother and his wife."

Chen Chunhua disagreed, "In the end, it all belongs to Rui Ge'er."

"Mother said this because my eldest brother has no son. When they go to the capital in the future, let the imperial physician take care of their bodies. What if my eldest brother and his wife give birth to a son?"

"This... is impossible! If your sister-in-law's body could be healed, she would have been healed long ago. There's no way they can have a biological child."

Seeing that Chen Chunhua didn't understand, Song Mingzhu continued to persuade her patiently: "The imperial physician is not an ordinary doctor. Even if the imperial physician is not good enough, the Jiang family will spend a lot of money to find a miracle doctor."

"Once Big Brother has a son, he will focus most of his attention on raising him, and Sister Yu will also dote on this younger brother even more."

"If Song Yu ascends the throne, the chance to be granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister will fall on my eldest brother. After all, he is the eldest son of the Song family, so his biological son will definitely inherit his title, along with Minglang and Rui'er. And Rui'er's children will be fine."

This sentence woke Chen Chunhua up, and she believed that good things must happen to her own blood.

"As a mother, I want you all to live a life of wealth and prosperity, but I don't want you to go astray and harm others' lives."

Seeing that Chen Chunhua had been persuaded, Song Mingzhu hurriedly said, "I didn't intend to kill anyone."

"You didn't think about that. That's not what you said yesterday."

"Mother, my idea has not changed from the beginning to the end. I will place her in another county and find her a good family. Since she is going to the capital, I will plan to take Song Yu away on the way..."

Chen Chunhua listened to her method and thought about it, "I'm sure it can deceive your eldest brother and sister-in-law."

"That's definitely no problem. Even if Big Brother wants to find Song Yu's whereabouts, it won't take too long. After all, Big Sister-in-law is in a hurry to return to Beijing to see her parents."

Chen Chunhua frowned and thought for a moment, then decided it was feasible. "Then let's do it your way... Oh, I remember when I didn't receive the letter from home, I asked Minglang to deliver it to the capital. After reading the letter, will Ah Heng have a better idea?"

"Ah Heng should agree with me and let Sister Yu live an honest and decent life in another county."

"In that case, let's do it this way. Your daughter is taking over someone else's status, so don't try to find a bad family for Sister Yu."

"Don't worry, mother. I will make arrangements."

Chen Chunhua stood up and said, "Let's go, Zhuzhu. It's time to go to the dining hall for the reunion dinner."

"mother."

"grandmother."

"Everyone, please sit down. Today is our reunion dinner, so just eat as much as you can."

Chen Chunhua was helped by Song Mingzhu to sit in the main seat.

As soon as he sat down, he looked at Song Yu.

She was really surprised that Song Yu was the legitimate daughter of a marquis.

What a pity, I have such bad luck.

Why is Grandma staring at Song Yu?

Song Rui was with Chen Chunhua, and Song Mingzhu kept her eyes on the two of them as soon as she came in.

At this moment, Chen Chunhua looked at Song Yu thoughtfully.

He became more and more convinced that Song Yu's identity was not simple.

Song Yu seemed to sense something and turned his head to look at Chen Chunhua.

Chen Chunhua felt guilty and quickly glanced at everyone, "Everyone, stop sitting there and start eating."

"Sister Yu, come and sit next to your aunt."

Song Yu glanced at Song Mingen, stood up and walked over to sit between Chen Chunhua and Song Mingzhu.

"Sister Yu, you've become so thin in the temple. You should eat more good food when you come back. Try this Wanshen chicken soup first."

"Thank you, aunt."

After a while, the food in front of Song Yu piled up into a small mountain.

Song Yu: ...

Is Song Mingzhu trying to make her have her last meal?

Song Yu was complaining in his heart, but he didn't stop talking.

It is said that all the dishes in front of her are her favorites.

Song Mingzhu really understands her.

No wonder she trusted Song Mingzhu so much in her previous life.

Seeing this, Song Mingen and Jiang Yunwan didn't react at all and concentrated on eating the food in front of them.

From time to time, he would put down his bowl and chopsticks and chat with Song Mingzhu and Song Minglang about family matters.

Listen to Song Mingzhu tell interesting stories in the capital.

After the meal, the three sisters-in-law sent Chen Chunhua back to her room and chatted with her about family matters for half an hour before they dispersed.

"Madam, Zhang Yuan is back."
