Chapter 187 Is This Still My Real Father?
Song De'an didn't say anything until Xiao Jiuyue's figure came out from the darkness. His eyes fell on the steward Jin beside him. He had a serious expression just now, but now a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Miss Xiao, it really is you."
Song Yu, who was standing by, watched this scene with her eyes almost popping out. Is this still her biological father?
Even though she knew her father loved her, Song Yu had never seen her father smile so... kindly!
"You've come to Hongdu, but why didn't you come to the Song family? Do you think I'm an outsider?" Song De'an looked at Xiao Jiuyue with kindness in his eyes and said, "How are your father and the others in Lingnan? And how are the old lady and Madam Xiao?"
"Uncle Song." Xiao Jiuyue saluted with a smile and said, "I came in a hurry and didn't dare to disturb you."
"My father and his family are all doing well in Lingnan, and my grandmother and mother are all doing well." Xiao Jiuyue said with a smile and asked them to sit down.
Song De'an turned around and looked at the still confused Song Yu, and said, "Xiaoyu fell into the water today, thanks to you. Xiaoyu, why don't you come and thank your sister Xiao quickly?"
"Thank you, Sister Xiao, for saving my life." Song Yu stepped forward and saluted, and Xiao Jiuyue quickly helped her up.
Song De'an said, "This kneeling is also what I should do. If it weren't for you, Xiaoyu would have suffered a great loss today."
"Uncle Song, since she calls me sister, it means sisters help each other. If you really kneel down to thank me, I don't know how we will get along in the future." Xiao Jiuyue supported Song Yu, and there was determination in his words.
Song De'an didn't insist any longer and just said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, your sister Xiao is very generous. You must remember this kindness in your heart in the future."
"Dad, I know." Song Yu responded, looking at Xiao Jiuyue under the candlelight. She seemed even more beautiful than the Xiao Jiuyue she saw in the daytime today.
"Xiaoyu, let's go outside and count the thank you gifts. It must be presented with sincerity." Mother Song spoke and pulled Song Yu out.
Song Yu still had many questions to ask, but was pulled outside by her mother. She looked back at Song De'an and Xiao Jiuyue who were sitting in the living room. She didn't dare to breathe in front of her father, but Xiao Jiuyue was sitting there, only a little older than her, so how could he be so calm?
Can you still chat and laugh with your dad?
"Mom, I've heard you say before that the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue is both talented and beautiful, and is the fiancée of the Prince of Yongchang. But when I see her today, she is indeed different." Song Yu looked back, and Xiao Jiuyue in the candlelight seemed to be calm and confident, no matter whether she was in good times or bad times, she was always graceful and confident.
Yes, it is confidence.
Even in Hongdu Mansion, Zhuang Xianxian, who considered herself the first daughter, pretended to be a lady from a noble family, but she was still lacking something.
"Of course. They come from a wealthy family, unlike us. If your father hadn't worked hard and passed the imperial examination, how could we have the good life we have now?" Song's mother used to come from a poor family. She and Song De'an were from the same village. Her father, who was a carpenter, saw in Song De'an and thought he was a good candidate.
Now it seems that my father had a good vision. Song De'an is now serving as the Censor. Although he has not moved for many years, he is in a stable position.
"Mom, then, Sister Xiao's fiancé..." Song Yu quickly changed the subject, reminiscing about the good and bad days in the past. Her mother would mention them from time to time, and her ears were covered with calluses.
"Hmph, you ungrateful, white-eyed wolf." Mother Song had also heard about it. She said, "Xiaoyu, when you choose a husband in the future, I have to keep my eyes open!"
"Come to think of it, we also have the surname Song, but we are different from them. The Xiao family once saved your father's life and helped him grow up. We will never forget it." Mother Song reminded her, "From now on, you must behave well in front of Miss Xiao. If you find Miss Xiao in any trouble, remember to tell her."
"No, the Xiao family has returned to Hongdu and lives in Lancang County. There aren't many fabrics in the county. Come with me to the street tomorrow to buy some more." Mother Song muttered to herself, "The old lady is not in good health. I remember there are ginsengs in the mansion. I will send them over when the time comes."
"Mother, the thank you gift we brought today..." Song Yu had just opened her mouth when her mother said, "Today we are here to thank Miss Xiao for saving your life. What does this have to do with the gift we brought?"
"Xiaoyu, without the Xiao family, there would be no Song family." Song's mother looked at Song Yu solemnly and said.
It was the first time that Song Yu saw her mother so serious. She said, "Mom, don't worry. I will definitely get along well with Sister Xiao."
Time passed little by little, and Song's mother and Song Yu had already put everything in place in the yard. The candlelight flickered, and the figures of Song De'an and Xiao Jiuyue gradually became blurred.
"Niece Jiuyue, when your restaurant opens, I will definitely bring my wife and Xiaoyu to try the food." Song De'an laughed heartily. The Xiao family has successors, and sooner or later there will be a day of vindication.
"It would be a great honor for our humble home if Uncle Song came." Xiao Jiuyue smiled slightly. Today's conversation with Song De'an made her more determined that the Xiao family could be redressed!
With so many people believing in Daddy, justice may be late, but it will definitely arrive!
After seeing Song De'an off, Xiao Jiuyue returned to the backyard. She was so excited that she didn't feel sleepy at all. Seeing Lianxin, she asked, "Lianxin, how did Ai Qiushi go to see the doctor today?"
"He didn't go today." Lianxin answered as she handed over the tea.
"Didn't you say that he should go today?" Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyebrows.
Lian Xin said: "Ai Qiushi said that if we want to make a turntable, it will be the same if we go another day."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiuyue said, "There's no need to rush for just one or two days."
"Miss, it's okay. He's just like that. If he doesn't finish something, he won't go see a doctor." Lian Xin knew Ai Qiushi very well. She said, "Miss, don't worry. We will be in the capital for a while. When the time comes, he will go see a doctor."
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, otherwise you won't be able to explain to Uncle Ai when you go back." Xiao Jiuyue thought of Uncle Ai's fatherly love as heavy as a mountain, and thought of Lian Xin. She sincerely hoped that Ai Qiushi could have a healthy body.
…
"Cousin, please beg mother for me. I really don't want to marry the guard, and I don't want to go to the farm." Du Xiaoxiao's eyes were swollen from crying, and her voice was hoarse.
"Xiaoxiao." Zhuang Xianxian looked at Du Xiaoxiao with an embarrassed expression and said, "Today's events have been witnessed by too many eyes. You should stay at the manor for a few days. After a while, I will plead with my aunt to let you come back."
"Really?" Du Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up instantly after hearing her assurance, and she said, "Cousin, you are so kind."
"I'm your cousin. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?" Zhuang Xianxian comforted Du Xiaoxiao before she got up and left. Seeing Du's mother in the yard, she said, "Aunt, that guard can't stay. I've already made an agreement with Xiaoxiao to live in the manor for a year or two. Once this incident has passed, everyone will forget about it."
Mother Du looked at Zhuang Xianxian, gently grasped her hand and said, "Xianxian, you still have a way."
