The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it was loud enough for everyone within ten feet to hear!
Si Jinxing felt that something was wrong. It seemed that there really was a gossipmonger among those people living in the village outside Qingcheng County!
How dare you spread such destructive words outside!
She immediately looked in Song Xiner's direction and saw her lowering her head with an uneasy look on her face.
Song Xinghai naturally heard what the two men said, and he asked in confusion:
"Sister-in-law Zhang, what are you talking about?"
The woman known as Zhang's sister-in-law refused to speak when she saw Song Xinghai asking questions, but just smiled awkwardly and said:
"We only heard it from hearsay. Doctor Song, why don't you ask your daughter what happened in Qingcheng County?"
When Song Xiner heard the name Qingcheng County, she couldn't help but shudder.
She thought that since it had been so long, she could face it calmly!
But she didn't expect that when only two people talked about this matter in front of her, she felt so ashamed that she wanted to jump into the well!
After the two men said this, they left.
Song Xinghai looked at his daughter and asked in a low voice:
"Qingcheng County, what exactly happened?
Could it be that what you said to me that day was a deliberate attempt to conceal something?"
Song Xiner's face turned pale and she opened her mouth timidly, but couldn't utter a word.
Seeing her like this, Si Jinxing knew that she still couldn't get over that hurdle, so he just said:
"Uncle Song, we just got back, so let's find a place to rest first.
You must know this Mr. Gu. He will definitely be able to help you find Xin'er's mother!"
As she spoke, she called Gu Anxu and said:
"Uncle Gu, this is Doctor Song from Tongshan County. His wife returned to Tongshan County a month ago. Can you help find her?"
Gu Anxu was so clever that he had guessed something about what the two women meant when they said that.
Seeing the county lady interrupting at this time, it must be to avoid embarrassing Miss Xin'er.
He still remembered that Miss Xin'er was very kind to his daughter Yingying in the mansion in Xuzhou City, so he smiled and said:
"My name is Gu Anxu from Suzhou. May I know the name of this elder brother Song's wife? I'd like to check it out."
When Song Xinghai heard this, he was stunned. The person in front of him was actually from a medical family in Suzhou?
For a moment, he forgot about Song Xiner's matter and stepped forward to ask:
"Excuse me, sir, is your father Gu Zhicang?"
Gu Anxu nodded and said, "It's my father!"
Song Xinghai's face showed some excitement when he heard this. He bowed and said:
"Fifteen years ago, I had the honor of witnessing Mr. Gu display his extraordinary skills. I never expected to meet Mr. Gu again today. How disrespectful!"
Gu Anxu was naturally happy to see someone respecting his biological father so much!
However, no matter how good my father's medical skills were, he eventually died with hatred because of his daughter's stubborn illness!
He felt guilty and did not want to talk about it any more. He just returned the greeting and said:
"Brother Song, you're too kind. You don't even know my sister-in-law's name?"
Seeing this, Song Xinghai realized that he had forgotten the important matter and said quickly:
"Shan Jing's surname is Lian, and his given name is Qing. I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Gu."
Gu Anxu waved his hands and said:
"I am here thanks to the introduction of the county lady, so if you want to thank someone, please thank the county lady.
However, I haven't seen this name in the book before. I'll check it out carefully later!"
Seeing this, Song Xinghai hurriedly thanked her, and then solemnly thanked Anping County Master, saying:
"The county lady has repeatedly lent a helping hand to my family of three, and I, Song, am deeply grateful!
If the county lady needs Song's help in the future, please just let me know!
Even though Song is incompetent, I will never refuse even if it means going through fire and water! "
Gu Anxu laughed when he heard this and said:
"What the eldest brother of the Song family said today, I just told the county lady a while ago.
Our county lady is a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Si Jinxing and asked:
"County Lady, the yard behind the government office has been tidied up. Would you like to go and rest there first?"
Si Jinxing glanced at Song Xiner, whose face was pale, and said:
"That's fine. I also want to hear about the current situation in Tongshan County."
The open space in front of the yamen was filled with tents, and carriages could not pass through.
The group had to walk through the tents and then through the crowd before they could reach the gate of the yamen.
Song Xinghai walked behind the team and found that several neighbors he met, who had been very polite to him in the past, only glanced at him at this time.
He clearly felt that there was something wrong in the eyes of those people!
He couldn't help but think of what Aunt Zhang had said just now. Why did she say that Xin'er still had the nerve to come back?
What shameful thing did Xin'er do that she can't even go back to her hometown?
Thinking of this, he quickly caught up with Song Xiner who was walking in front of him!
However, before he could open his mouth to ask questions, he saw that his daughter's face was pale, her eyes were slightly red, and there were two lines of undried tears on her face!
Song Xinghai was inexplicably shocked. This child has always been calm, but looking at her like this, she must have encountered some difficulties!
He couldn't help but lower his tone and said:
"My daughter, no matter what happens, Dad will definitely stand by you. If you have any grievances, don't keep them in your heart!
Now that your mother is not around, it's the same if you tell your father. Although your father is incompetent, he will never allow others to bully my daughter!"
When Song Xiner walked through the crowd outside the tent, she felt that everyone was talking about her!
She unknowingly quickened her pace, only to find that her father had caught up with her.
She didn't know how to start this matter, and she didn't want her father, who was respected for his medical skills, to be criticized because of her!
But at this moment, she heard such words!
Song Xiner stopped and looked up at her father beside her. Her slightly red eyes were suddenly filled with tears!
She trembled her lips and said aggrievedly:
"Dad, I..."
Seeing this, Song Xinghai patted his daughter's shoulder and said:
"My daughter, Daddy is here. If you have anything to say, come inside and tell him in detail."
He comforted her softly as he walked forward with Song Xiner.
No matter what happened to my daughter, this is not the place to talk!
Si Jinxing glanced sideways and saw the actions of the father and daughter, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the group entered the backyard of the yamen, Si Jinxing asked Song Xiner and Song Xinghai, father and daughter, to talk alone.
It is better for the whole family to face this matter together than for one girl to bear it all!
While Si Jinxing was listening to Gu An's account of the disaster in Tongshan County, she heard someone outside come to pass on a message:
"Mr. Gu, there's someone outside who wants to see a girl named Song."
