Chapter 18: Hong Ge'er: Song Xiao, apologize to my aunt!
"Yeah, let's go check out the jewelry store!"
The four of them each had their own things on their minds and headed straight towards Zhuhuazhai. As soon as they stepped in, Liu Qingyin stopped in her tracks.
Why is Su Tan here too?
Song Tingchen's gaze paused. He didn't expect to meet Su Tan.
Zhuhuazhai is the largest treasure house in the capital. It has a wide variety of jewelry and is highly sought after by the noble ladies in the capital.
When the Su family was at its peak, Su Tan's jewelry was all custom-made here.
Madam Song snorted coldly, and suddenly her eyes rolled, "Come to think of it, Qingyin hasn't bought any jewelry for a long time."
Song Xiao stared at the thin figure inside. The bad woman was standing with her aunt, and the bad woman was holding her cousin Su Jinghong's hand.
He gritted his teeth and tugged at Song Tingchen's sleeve, shouting loudly, wishing everyone could hear him. "Dad! I want to buy a big bracelet for Aunt Qing!"
Song Tingchen's brows showed no sadness or joy, but his gaze remained fixed on the figure for a moment, and suddenly he raised his thin lips and said, "Hmm."
The whole family stared at Su Tan at the same time. It didn't look like they were here to buy jewelry, but rather to cause trouble.
The shopkeeper of Zhuhuazhai is a chubby guy. Just looking at his belly, you can tell that he is very rich. When he smiles, he looks like Maitreya Buddha. In the past, the Su family was at its peak, and he would personally receive the Su family members who came to buy jewelry.
The Su family has been deserted in recent years, and his attitude has remained the same as before. When he saw the Song family coming, he was not in a hurry to go forward, but thought to himself that there would be something exciting to watch.
Su Tan's sister-in-law Gu Mingzhu frowned and pretended not to see anything when she saw Song Tingchen and Liu Qingyin.
Song Xiao's face was tense and she didn't call anyone.
On the other hand, Liu Qingyin came forward with a smile, "What a coincidence, Sister Su Tan, you are also here to buy jewelry."
"However, every item in Zhuhuazhai is extremely valuable. Sister Su Tan, do you have enough silver? If not, I have some here that I can lend to you."
Su Tan had a sneer on his lips and was about to speak when Hong Ge'er beside him, with a stern face and a childish voice but a hint of maturity, corrected Liu Qingyin in a serious manner, "You are wrong."
Hong Ge'er is of the same age as Song Xiao. Song Xiao is spoiled and has grown into a round ball.
Hong Ge'er has a thin and straight figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He talks young but is full of energy and spirit. At first glance, he reminds people of a pine tree standing in the snow.
His father was a great general and his mother came from a family of scholars. As a result, Hong Ge'er had both the arrogance of a general and the integrity of a scholar.
Hong Ge'er looked at Liu Qingyin calmly, "My aunt's family doesn't have a sister with the surname Liu. You and my aunt are not related, so you should call my aunt Miss Su."
Liu Qingyin's face froze, and her nails almost dug into her flesh.
Is this little beast trying to be sarcastic about her poor background, that she is just the daughter of a merchant and not as noble as Su Tan?
But she couldn't say this directly, otherwise she would misinterpret the child's meaning.
Liu Qingyin endured the humiliation, her eyes reddened, and her voice choked with sobs, "Miss Su."
Su Tan glanced at her calmly and said, "Miss Liu, if you have a cold, go get treatment. You should also see a doctor for your red eyes."
"Otherwise, those who are blind and ignorant will see this and wonder what I have done to you."
Liu Qingyin shook her body and looked at Song Tingchen for help.
Song Tingchen's brows furrowed, and he glanced at Su Tan calmly, "Miss Su, you should take care of yourself when you have time."
"It would be best if it doesn't involve others."
Song Xiao snorted, holding Liu Qingyin's hand tightly, and glared at Su Tan, "We are here to get Aunt Qing's bracelet. It's bad luck to run into you, you evil woman!"
There was no expression on Su Tan's face. Song Xiao had said the word "bad woman" so many times that she gradually lost interest in it.
"Then take your Aunt Qing with you to choose carefully."
After saying that, he didn't even look at the Song family, turned to the shopkeeper and said, "I want to go upstairs and take a look."
The higher you go up the stairs in Zhuhuazhai, the more expensive the items become.
Song Xiao snorted, "Everyone knows you're poor. When you divorced your father, you didn't even have a penny!"
"You can't even afford the stuff above!"
Gu Mingzhu was extremely annoyed and her expression became increasingly cold. Song Xiao was an ungrateful person who disrespected his biological mother, so she naturally wouldn't treat him as her nephew, not to mention that the child had previously wanted to smash his grandfather's eternal lamp.
"Song Tingchen, keep a close eye on your son. He's so mean at such a young age. This really ruins our family's tradition!"
Hong Ge'er shook his head, frowning tightly, and looked at Song Xiao with disapproval in his eyes, "Cousin, crows are grateful to their parents for feeding them, and sheep are grateful to their parents for feeding them."
"You treat the mother who worked so hard to raise you with cold brows and harsh words, calling her a bad woman. This is truly unfilial and unrighteous. Cousin, aren't you ashamed of this?"
Song Xiao glared at Hong Ge'er fiercely. He hated his cousin the most.
Although he and his cousin did not study in the same academy, when those people in the academy isolated and ridiculed him, they liked to compare him with his cousin the most.
Song Xiao stepped forward and pushed Hong Ge'er hard, his eyes red, "What's it got to do with you?"
Hong Ge'er is thin, so logically, he should be pushed down by Song Xiao.
But he didn't move at all, and even reached out to grab Song Xiao's wrist, with a stern look in his eyes. "I'm your cousin, a few months older than you. Today, in front of General Song and the old lady, I'm going to teach you a lesson."
"Song Xiao, apologize to my aunt, your mother."
Song Xiao's eyes were red, and he couldn't break free. Su Tan stood aside from beginning to end, with no intention of stopping him.
Old Madam Song was a little anxious. She stamped her feet and was about to step forward to separate the two. Gu Mingzhu stopped her with a smile.
"Madam Song, the children are playing, and as adults, we should not interfere."
Song Mingzhu's maid Cui Liu snorted in disdain, "Our eldest young master is so thin, if we really fight seriously, how can he be a match for our cousin?"
"It's just a joke."
Cui Liu said this, bowing to Old Madam Song. "Old Madam, don't be upset, and don't be anxious. The two young masters used to have a very good relationship, and now they are just catching up on the past."
Liu Qingyin's voice choked with sobs, as if she was worried that Song Xiao would be bullied, "Brother Song..."
Song Tingchen's eyes were cold.
Of the two children, Song Xiao is chubby. Even at such a young age, he has a bit of fat on his face.
Hong Ge'er is thin and looks like he is no match for Song Xiao.
In the eyes of outsiders, these were clearly two kids playing around. Otherwise, if they got serious, Song Xiao alone could beat ten Hong Ge'ers.
But Song Tingchen was a martial artist, and he could see clearly that even ten Song Xiaos were no match for Hong Ge'er.
Song Tingchen frowned and looked at Su Tan, puzzled. How could a mother be so cruel? "You just stand there and watch?"
Su Tan sneered, "Why, General Song, are you going to interfere with the children's play?"
Hong Ge'er exerted force on his hands, causing Song Xiao's face to twist in pain, but he couldn't break free. "Let me go!"
Hong Ge'er had no expression on his face, and he just said, "Apologize."
