Chapter 2 Returning Home and Marrying Another Man
Listening to Madam Lin's powerful questioning, Song Yanxi just wanted to laugh.
In his previous life, when the news of Lin Tingfeng’s death came, his good mother fainted on the spot, and later she was bedridden because of the pain of losing her son.
Every day, he took the ginseng and bird's nest given by the emperor to recuperate and was able to keep alive.
In the previous life, when Lin Tingfeng's funeral was being held, apart from her who ran around everywhere, the other members of the Lin family had never even set foot in the mourning hall for various reasons.
In her previous life, she was only concerned with her sadness and didn't pay attention to these details.
Now that I think about it, the Lin family must have known about Lin Tingfeng's plan to fake his death a long time ago, but they just hid it from her, a fool.
Song Yanxi's eyes were red and she gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Mother-in-law, titles of nobility, gold, jade, and jewels are all external possessions. Now that Tingfeng is gone, those possessions are useless. Tingfeng suffered hardships at the border during his lifetime, and his greatest concern was how to improve the lives of the soldiers there. Now I will give the money Your Majesty donated last time to the soldiers at the border. If I can provide them with an extra meal and an extra piece of clothing, Tingfeng's spirit in heaven will surely be pleased."
"you……"
Old Madam Lin was so angry that she vomited blood.
But every word Song Yanxi said was about Lin Tingfeng, and every sentence was about the soldiers on the border. She couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
"Cough, cough, cough..." She coughed violently a few times.
She put on a hypocritical look, "Yanxi, you are a sensible person. Mother is not saying that there is anything wrong with what you did. It's just that the title is a reward, and it was earned by Feng'er's military exploits at the cost of his life. Although you and Feng'er have no children, after Feng'er's funeral, you can also adopt a child from the clan, and he will inherit the title, right?"
"Yan Xi, be good. After Feng'er's funeral, go to the palace. You don't have to accept the rewards, but you can beg the emperor for the title."
Song Yanxi shook her head lightly, smiled heartbrokenly, and said, "Mother-in-law, that's not necessary."
"You are not feeling well, so you should go back to the courtyard and rest. Daughter-in-law, it's time to go to the mourning hall."
As Song Yanxi spoke, her eyes turned slightly red and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Old Madam Lin looked at her, a glint of disdain flashing across her eyes.
His son's plan turned out to be correct.
As long as the news of his death in battle came back, Song Yanxi would be heartbroken, and she would not be able to survive with just a little guidance.
Once she dies, won't all her dowry belong to their general's mansion?
When the time comes, his son will marry the princess, and then he will have no worries about being extremely rich.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin didn't seem so sad about the title that Song Yanxi resigned and the rewards that she donated.
She also wiped away two tears, "Good Yanxi, I know that you and Feng'er have a deep bond, and Feng'er is thinking about you all the time. If he knew how sad you were, I'm afraid his spirit in heaven would be heartbroken..."
Song Yanxi was crying and couldn't even speak. She just bowed silently and left, wiping her tears.
When she reached a secluded place, she wiped away her tears. There was no trace of sadness on her face anymore, only calmness remained.
Zhuguo just felt that she could no longer understand her daughter.
But no matter what the girl wants to do, she will support her unconditionally.
In less than half a day, the entire general's mansion was decorated with white silk and white lanterns. At first glance, it looked all white and desolate.
The death report sent back from the border said that Lin Tingfeng was ambushed by the remnants of the enemy army on his way back in triumph, and was shot to death by the remnants of the enemy army and fell off a cliff.
Although the body was not found, the person was shot like a hedgehog and there was no possibility of survival.
Lin Tingfeng's clothes were placed in the coffin in the mourning hall.
Song Yanxi knelt in front of the mourning hall, adding paper money into the copper basin one by one.
There was a constant stream of people coming to pay their respects, and Lin Tingfeng's elder brother Lin Tingye was helping to greet and see off the guests.
"Xier!"
An urgent voice suddenly came into Song Yanxi's ears.
When Song Yanxi turned around, she saw her mother Yan Qing and her younger brother Song Xubai hurried over.
Song Yanxi's eyes instantly turned red, "Mother, brother, why are you here?"
Yan Qing hugged Song Yanxi and said, "My son, why are you so miserable?"
Listening to her mother's crying, Song Yanxi felt a pang of pain in her heart.
In her previous life, when her grandfather was framed by Lin Tingfeng for collaborating with the enemy, her scumbag father divorced her mother in order to distance himself from the matter. Even her younger brother was disowned by her scumbag father.
Both my mother and my brother were dismembered.
Thinking of the tragic deaths of her mother and younger brother in her previous life, Song Yanxi's eyes revealed genuine sadness and joy.
She hugged Yan Qing and Song Xubai tightly.
very nice!
She was reborn, and the people she cared about were still there.
Lin Tingfeng's sister-in-law, Zhou, saw this scene and felt sorry for Song Yanxi. Thinking of her usual kindness, she said considerately, "Sister-in-law, the wife of the Marquis of Yongchuan and the prince are here. You can go and talk to them first. Your eldest brother and I are watching over them here. Don't worry."
Song Yanxi wiped her tears and said, "Yanxi thanks sister-in-law."
Return to Lingxi Pavilion.
Yan Qing also put away the distressed look on his face and asked Song Yanxi seriously, "Xi'er, tell mother, what exactly is going on? Why did you suddenly ask Zhuzhi to send your dowry back?"
Song Yanxi signaled Zhuguo to go outside and guard.
Then he said to Yan Qing, "Mother, I can't explain myself clearly now. I want to ask you, if Xi'er doesn't want to stay in the general's mansion in the future and wants to return home and marry someone else, would you agree?"
