The palace servants following behind Song Xibai were all terrified.
I never expected that the Marquis of Shengen would be so afraid of his daughter!
Song Xinian remained expressionless and simply said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let's go inside first!"
Song Xibai took a deep breath, thinking that she still had to give her father face, so she didn't ask any further questions and followed him into the mansion.
Although it was a marquis's mansion, the Song family was not very wealthy or well-established, so there weren't many servants in the mansion.
When Yuan Shen wanted to bestow a mansion upon him, he asked Song Siyuan for his opinion and chose a four-courtyard house that was neither too big nor too small.
But after the Song family moved in, most of the rooms were still empty!
Especially in the backyard, only Song Qianqian lived there, and it was empty.
As Song Xibai walked forward from the back door, his furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Seeing how bare the mansion is, it's good that Father hasn't been secretly accepting money from others...
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When Song Xibai saw so many people outside the gate, she was really startled.
She was terrified that her father might be foolish enough to be deceived, accept gifts from others, and do something outrageous.
Although the Marquis of Shengen's family is now a favorite of the emperor, they know their own situation well. Apart from their eldest brother, the rest of them are not very shrewd. What if they are tricked by someone?
Song Xibai didn't say a word the whole way.
Song Siyuan looked at his daughter's expression cautiously and dared not speak.
When they arrived at the flower hall, Yuan Shen broke the silence with a cough.
"Speaking of which, Father-in-law, it's been a long time since you've seen the two children, hasn't it? Zhaojing and Zhaoyan can already turn over in bed."
When the topic of children came up, Song Siyuan's eyes lit up immediately.
"Really? Really? Bring it over here so I can see it."
Seeing him like this, Song Xibai's heart softened. She took Zhaojing and handed him to Song Siyuan, then asked the wet nurse to hand the child to her elder brother.
Song Siyuan looked at his fair-skinned granddaughter and couldn't stop smiling.
As soon as Song Xibai and Yuan Shen sat down, servants served them tea and snacks. Song Xibai told the palace servants who had come with them to go and rest, leaving only Wei Hong and Feng Jia behind.
A moment later, Song Qianqian came over with her maid. As soon as she saw Song Xibai, she shouted "Auntie!" and then rushed into her arms.
Song Xibai hadn't seen his niece in a long time, so he patted her head and asked about her recent situation.
Song Qianqian secretly glanced at her father, then put her little hand to Song Xibai's ear and began to complain.
"Dad is so fierce now. He makes Qianqian practice the piano and calligraphy every day, and if she doesn't do well, he hits her palms."
As she spoke, she stretched out her small hands and looked at Song Xibai pitifully.
Song Xibai touched her small hand; there was no redness or swelling.
Song Xinian was both amused and exasperated: "I've only hit you once, and you remember it so clearly? You even went to tell your aunt? Who taught you that?"
Song Qianqian subconsciously shrank her neck and hid behind Song Xibai.
"I've heard about it! My aunt became an empress, and she's more powerful than Grandpa and Dad!"
"Little rascal."
Song Xibai couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Yuan Shen looked at Song Qianqian thoughtfully, thinking to himself that the Song family's children were all quite good, and Qianqian, at such a young age, already showed great intelligence. It was a pity she was a few years older than Zhao Yan…
The thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't say it aloud.
After chatting for a while, Song Xibai placed the two children on the daybed next door, leaving the wet nurse and the others to watch over them, before returning to the flower hall.
Seeing her posture, Song Siyuan felt uneasy and could only glance at her son.
Song Xin cleared his throat and took the initiative to speak.
