Chapter 76: Compromise
"Qingyin, don't speak for him!"
Old Madam Song was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She really didn't understand what was so good about that woman Su Tan. She actually made her son abandon the good Qingyin. If she were to say it, Su Tan was not even as good as Qingyin.
"Song Tingchen, I'm putting this on hold today. You must marry Qingyin. Your marriage must be finalized before the end of the year!"
Old Madam Song glared at Song Tingchen angrily.
She had taken a fancy to Liu Qingyin three years ago.
If it weren't for the accident, Qingyin and Tingchen would have had children long ago, and there would be no chance for Su Tan to be around.
Song Tingchen had a splitting headache.
He stared at Mother Song solemnly, "Why do you always force me?"
When Old Madam Song heard this, she felt extremely aggrieved. She suddenly felt that there was no hope in life. This huge general's mansion was also cold and indifferent. Even her own son treated her like this. What was the point of living?
Old Madam Song made up her mind, gritted her teeth and burst into tears, and rushed straight towards the pillar.
"Ouch, I'm dying!"
"What's the point of me living like this?"
"Now even the son I raised myself despises me. My dear father, why did you leave me alone?"
With tears in her eyes, Liu Qingyin stood in front of Old Madam Song and acted as her human shield.
She was in so much pain that tears were falling.
Liu Qingyin opened her misty eyes and looked at Song Tingchen with tears in her eyes.
"Brother Song, you...you should stop talking!"
For the first time, she looked at him eagerly, her eyes filled with pleading, as if at this moment, Song Tingchen had become a sinner.
Song Tingchen's brows were covered with frost and snow. He looked at Old Madam Song with pain and asked weakly, "Mother, what do you want?"
Madam Song turned her head and said in a muffled voice, "Since you're already starting to dislike your mother, what's the point of me living? I might as well just die!"
"Song Tingchen, you are now a general. You are so great that you don't even want your own mother!"
Song Tingchen's heart sank.
After a while, his voice drifted down to Old Madam Song's ears along with the wind that swirled the fallen leaves. "Mother, I don't think so."
"Just take good care of yourself and don't worry about anything else, okay?"
Old Madam Song wiped away her tears and didn't even bother to give him a glance.
"I don't need you to take care of me. Just go and prepare a coffin for me! I don't need you to be filial to me either! I'm not lucky enough to have a son like you!"
Song Tingchen closed his eyes and stared at Old Madam Song without blinking, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Mother, just tell me what you want to do."
Liu Qingyin winked at him frantically and shook her head at him with red eyes.
Song Tingchen just looked at Old Madam Song, looking thin and gloomy.
Old Madam Song gritted her teeth and said, "I just want you to marry Qingyin. Our Song family has wasted such a good girl like Qingyin for so long. I know what people outside say about her. If you don't marry her and take responsibility for her, even if I die, I will not be able to face the ancestors of the Song family!"
Mrs. Song's words were particularly high-sounding.
Also extremely upright and awe-inspiring.
She raised her head and stared at Song Tingchen intently, "Either you marry Qingyin and our family will be happy, or you immediately arrange a funeral for me, your mother!"
She pressed him hard, leaving no way out for Song Tingchen.
Liu Qingyin didn't say anything, but just held the handkerchief and kept crying.
Song Tingchen looked at Old Madam Song steadily.
He just looked at her like that for a long time.
No one knows what he is thinking at this moment.
But after a long time, when the wind outside had died down, Song Tingchen suddenly closed his eyes and said weakly, "Okay, I promise you."
He lost his father in his life.
His wife broke off all ties with him.
Now, he can't afford to lose his mother again.
"I will marry Qingyin, and everything is up to you."
Madam Song finally showed a happy expression on her face, "Hey!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
She said "good" three times in a row, and her joy was beyond words.
It should have been like this long ago!
It should have been like this long ago!
Old Madam Song cried with joy, "Tingchen, I've said it before, that woman Su Tan is no match for Qingyin!"
"You should have gotten married three years ago!"
"Hey! Tingchen, come with me to the ancestral hall to burn incense for your father. You're getting married, so you have to let him know!"
Song Tingchen was like a walking corpse at this moment. After hearing what Old Madam Song said, he just raised his thin lips and said, "Everything is up to mother's arrangements."
Liu Qingyin's eyes were red, and she also revealed a happy expression. She looked at Song Tingchen infatuatedly and cautiously, "Brother Tingchen, you...are you unhappy?"
The joy on her face turned pale in an instant.
"If...if you really don't like me and don't want to marry me, I won't force you..."
Song Tingchen married her under such invisible pressure, and he will definitely feel resentment towards her in the future.
Some things need to be said right from the start.
Old Madam Song immediately glanced at Liu Qingyin anxiously, and felt a few blisters on her mouth, "Qingyin!"
This silly girl, everything is clearly going to be successful, why is she backing out at this moment?!
Liu Qingyin smiled bitterly, her expression pale and sad. "If Brother Tingchen is so reluctant, I would rather he not marry me."
Madam Song immediately glared at Song Tingchen with dismay, "Look at the evil you have done!"
Song Tingchen looked at Liu Qingyin in silence. After a while, he finally said, "I'm not unwilling."
"Qingyin, you're fine."
"Xiaoxiao likes you too."
"You're a good girl."
Liu Qingyin cried with joy, but did not ask further, "Do you like me?"
She just wanted to be the general's wife.
As for whether the general likes her or not, it doesn't matter.
She had a sweet smile on her face, and her eyes looking at Song Tingchen were full of dependence and admiration.
"Thank you, Brother Tingchen. This is probably the best news I have ever received in my life."
Look how beautifully she said it.
Even Song Tingchen, who was always a heartless man, felt a little bit sorry at this moment.
Old Madam Song is in high spirits as she celebrates the happy event.
At this moment, I just felt that there was no pain anywhere in my body, and even my illness was cured.
She immediately arranged for someone to reply to the Jian'an Marquis Mansion.
"Humph, the woman surnamed Chen posted this to me just to show me that she still has time to act recklessly. I'm not afraid of her!"
"I'm twenty years younger than her!"
There will be a banquet at the Marquis of Jian'an's Mansion, and Su Tan will definitely attend.
Old Madam Song smiled and held Liu Qingyin's hand affectionately. It was not an exaggeration to say that the two of them were mother and daughter.
"Qingyin, when the time comes, you must come along. I'm going to announce to everyone that you are my daughter-in-law-to-be!"
Didn’t Su Tan save the old lady surnamed Chen and cause trouble for her?
It just so happened that she also wanted to take advantage of that old woman's birthday party to humiliate Su Tan!
Don’t think she doesn’t know that little bitch Su Tan is still dreaming of marrying back into the Song family!
But as long as she is alive, she will never let Su Tan get what he wants!
When Old Lady Song thought of the scene of that day, she became extremely excited and for the first time she looked forward to Old Lady Chen's birthday banquet coming soon.
If she had arrived earlier, she would have been able to appreciate Su Tan's painful and resentful eyes!
"As for my daughter-in-law, I only have Qingyin. As for the one with the surname Su, I just think she's dead. Tingchen, you can only think she's dead too."
After hearing Madam Song's warning, Song Tingchen didn't react much and just walked out with an expressionless face.
