He failed to protect his sister.
Song Yue shook her head: "Big brother, you don't need to say such things anymore. We are family."
Song Zhen smiled slightly and silently vowed in her heart that she would definitely spoil A Yue even more to make up for the years of absence.
The two siblings chatted for a long time, and Song Zhen told her about the scenery they had seen along the way.
A gentle breeze blew by, and Song Zhen covered her mouth and coughed softly. Her thin body looked even more frail, like a candle flame that was about to be extinguished.
"Sir, it's getting windy, it's time to go back inside," the guard said.
Song Yue helped Song Zhen to his feet and yawned, "Big brother, I got up very early today. I'm tired too. There's plenty of time. I'll come to visit you again tomorrow."
Song Zhen nodded: "Okay."
Song Yue waved goodbye and skipped back to Yuehua Pavilion. She saw the pavilion brightly lit and Princess Jiahua sitting at the table, frowning as she looked through something. She frowned and went up to her, saying, "Mother."
Looking down, I saw it was a medical book.
Princess Jia Hua still had red marks in her eyes.
Song Yue immediately guessed that her mother must know something, so she quickly said, "Mother is worried about my eldest brother's health."
“Princess Shen came by an hour ago.” Princess Jiahua said with a sigh, “So many years have passed, and your elder brother has not had an easy time either. He is weak and cannot withstand any more hardship.”
“Mother, I will definitely find a way to improve my elder brother’s health,” Song Yue said.
Princess Jia Hua couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke, and embraced Song Yue: "It is your mother who has wronged you and your siblings, causing you to suffer so much."
Song Yue hugged Princess Jia Hua back: "Mother, your daughter is not suffering."
She never blamed Princess Jia Hua; over the years, her mother had endured far more than she and her siblings had.
“Mother, my elder brother is just weak, not poisoned. He just needs to take good care of himself and relax. He will be back to normal in no time.”
Princess Jia Hua raised her eyes: "Really?"
"nature!"
Princess Jia Hua visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's already rare to get something back after losing it; if she were to lose it again, she probably wouldn't be able to bear it.
That night, some were happy while others were sad.
The Duke of Jingguo's mansion was brightly lit.
The old lady knelt before the Buddha and prayed.
Song Kaifeng first went to visit Yuan Fuling. After Song Yao was brought back, they had a few words of argument, and he lost the will to stay and went to Fan Lianyi's place.
Fan Lianyi was so frightened that she fell ill. She developed a high fever at night and started talking nonsense. Song Kaifeng frantically took care of her all night.
The fever didn't subside until dawn.
Fan Lianyi opened her eyes and saw Song Kaifeng. She threw herself into Song Kaifeng's arms and cried loudly, "Cousin, I'm scared. Let's leave the Duke of Jingguo's mansion."
If she stays any longer, she'll definitely be scared to death.
Song Kaifeng longed to leave, but his every move was being watched by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so how could he leave easily?
"Cousin, why won't the princess give us a quick death?" she asked timidly, tilting her head up.
Song Kaifeng scoffed: "She hasn't vented enough yet, how could she kill us so easily?"
Fan Lianyi was even more frightened upon hearing this. She hid in Song Kaifeng's arms and cried uncontrollably. She felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have acted impulsively and gotten together with Song Kaifeng.
Back then, she was the eldest daughter of a prominent family, possessing both talent and beauty. Countless men came to her door to propose marriage, but she was too proud and arrogant to be interested.
She fell in love with Song Kaifeng at first sight.
Not only did she remain a mistress for twenty years, but she was also separated from her child, and now she has to endure her occasional wrathful outbursts.
He gained no benefits and dragged down his entire family.
Fan Lianyi wished she were dead.
"Lianyi." How could Song Kaifeng bear to let someone die? He pulled her into his arms. "Wait a little longer. We're not without a way out. Wait..."
With Song Kaifeng's reassurance, Fan Lianyi's emotions gradually stabilized.
