Chapter 51 Song Yuqing Goes

After leaving the room, everyone walked in silence and soon arrived at the front yard.

At this time, the wife of Pingyuan Hou also rushed over. With red eyes, she took Xu's hand and said a few words of comfort.

But Xu was obviously not in a good mood. She just nodded, and there was a hint of resentment in her eyes when she looked at the wife of Pingyuan Hou.

However, due to the disparity in their social status, she did not dare to do anything extreme.

Otherwise, she really wanted to slap the wife of Marquis Pingyuan in the face.

This is what it means to marry into a wealthy family. The daughter’s parents cannot hold their heads up in front of the husband’s family, and they do not have the confidence to get back their daughter’s status in the husband’s family.

Poor daughter, she was bullied to such an extent by this evil woman, and she couldn't even vent her anger for her daughter.

The old lady obviously noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and hurried forward, pulled Xu away, politely responded to the wife of Pingyuan Hou with a few words, and then left with Xu and others.

"Don't forget Qing'er's instructions! Do you want to ruin her plans?" The old lady walked in front and scolded Xu in a low voice.

When Xu heard this, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. Thinking of her daughter's instructions, she was even more heartbroken. She couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The group arrived at the gate of Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, and Song Yuyan said, "Grandma, I'll go back to the palace now." The old lady nodded quickly to show her agreement and signaled Song Yuyan to leave first.

Song Yuyan bowed to everyone, turned around and got on her carriage, which slowly drove out of the gate of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. Everyone waited until her carriage left before getting on their own carriages.

Song Yuwan was also going back to her home. Lu Zhixing was standing in front of the carriage waiting for him. After saying something to the old lady, the young couple left from another road.

On the evening of the second day after returning to the Song Mansion, news came from the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion that Song Yuqing had passed away.

When Xu heard the news, her head buzzed, her vision went dark, her body swayed twice, and she fell to the ground, unconscious.

Although the old lady was not as excited as Mrs. Xu, she was also very upset and quickly sent people to buy paper money, flower candles, incense paper and other things.

When Song Hongzhi learned the news of his daughter's death, he also pretended to cry twice. It was not clear whether he was crying for his daughter, or because his daughter's death might make his son-in-law and his family separated.

Song Chengli was genuinely sad, after all, the one who died was his own sister.

After Song Yurou, Song Yuning and others received the news, they also started packing their clothes, putting all the colored clothes into boxes and changing into plain dresses.

After being busy for most of the night, as soon as dawn broke, everyone gathered at the old lady's Changchun Hall.

Everyone looked unhappy. Xu looked at everyone, feeling upset and started crying again. They couldn't just stand by and watch, so they all cried with her for a while.

Song Chengli's wife, Zhou, sighed, wiped the tears from her face, and reminded him, "It's getting late. We should hurry up. It might not be good if we're late."

The old lady nodded, and everyone stood up, left the house, and got on their carriages, heading towards Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Song Yuning got up too early in the morning, and she only had time to ask Ningshuang to bring some pastries. She was really hungry now, and she asked Song Yurou and Song Yuyao when she saw them in the car.

"Have you eaten anything this morning? I asked Ning Shuang to bring some pastries, so eat more to fill your stomach."

When I get to Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion later, I'm bound to cry, and I don't even know when I'll have dinner.

The two shook their heads: "We haven't eaten anything yet. We asked the maid to bring it. That's how funerals are. We have to bring something, otherwise we won't be able to last the whole day."

As they spoke, the three of them asked their maids to bring up some pastries, and while they had some time in the car, they quickly ate some to make do.

After entering the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, everyone got off the carriage and saw that the gate of the mansion was open. Two large white paper flowers were placed at the door. White lanterns and white curtains were hung inside the door, and the mourning shed had been set up.

The stewards and servants all wore white cloth around their waists and were busy coming and going.

Before entering Song Yuqing's yard, everyone heard Hao Ge'er's heart-wrenching cry. Song Yuning originally felt okay.

When I heard Hao Ge'er's voice, for some reason, my nose felt sore and tears came out uncontrollably.

Looking to the side, she found that she was not the only one crying. Song Yurou and Song Yuyao were also crying.

Song Yuqing was wearing the court dress of the Crown Prince's Consort and had full makeup on. Apart from being very thin, her expression was quiet and peaceful, as if she was asleep.

She was lying on the bed with a lamp burning above her head.

In front of the bed, Hao Ge'er, Jia Jie'er, and a child about the same age as Hao Ge'er were all wearing mourning clothes and kneeling on the ground crying.

Hao Ge'er was clinging to a corner of the bed, crying loudly. His voice was hoarse from crying, but he still refused to stop.

Song Yuqing loved Hao Ge'er very much. The three-year-old child did not know the meaning of death, but he knew that Song Yuqing was lying here and would never wake up again.

Xu cried all night last night, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts. Now seeing this scene, her tears burst out like a dam breaking. She hugged Hao Ge'er and cried heartbreakingly.

For a moment, the room was filled with crying, which sounded so miserable.

Everyone cried for a while, and seeing that the atmosphere was too heavy, some people came up to persuade everyone not to be too sad so as not to hurt their bodies.

Hao Ge'er also saw Song Yurou at this moment. The old lady looked at his tear-stained face and felt very distressed. She signaled Song Yurou to go forward and comfort Hao Ge'er.

Hao Ge'er is still very dependent on Song Yurou at his age. Song Yurou reached out to hug him. Hao Ge'er hesitated for a moment, but still threw himself into Song Yurou's arms.

Hao Ge'er, who had just been crying in Xu's arms, stopped crying immediately when Song Yurou held him in her arms and patted him gently a few times. He buried his head in Song Yurou's shoulder with sobs and fell into a deep sleep in a short while.

Xu watched everything unfold before her eyes, and a chill ran down her spine. After all, a borrowed child could never be compared to a biological child.

Although the child was born from Song Yuqing's womb, he was still closer to Song Yurou.

It’s just a pity for her daughter. She died early so that the child could be born, and now she has become someone else’s wedding dress.

When Xu thought of this, the look in her eyes when she looked at Song Yurou became even colder.

Several housekeepers from the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion came forward to persuade the Song family to be placed in the courtyard next to Song Yuqing to rest for a while.

Xu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the maid beside her was carefully applying a cold handkerchief to her eyes.

Zhou left for a while and then quickly returned. The old lady turned to her and asked about the situation.

Zhou said softly, "I heard that the Imperial Observatory has already done some divination. The funeral ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow, and the body will be laid to rest for seven days before burial."
