Chapter 89: Sick
Fortunately, this request to take a concubine was rejected by Song Tingchen himself.
Otherwise, Liu Qingyin would really not be able to restrain herself and would attack Old Madam Song while she was sick, sending Old Madam Song to the west.
While feeding Liu Qingyin the medicine, Xue'er couldn't help but ask, "Miss, you and the general have been married for some time now, so why is the general still lying in his study? This...if this gets out, what will you do?"
Liu Qingyin smashed several sets of tea sets because of these things a few days ago.
But now, she has been able to calm down.
"Song Tingchen already has a son, and all his thoughts are on Song Xiao. Of course, he doesn't want me to have a child to affect Song Xiao's status."
Liu Qingyin's face looked somewhat sinister.
She didn't know what kind of feelings Song Tingchen had towards Su Tan. It wasn't love, but it wasn't hatred either.
But Song Tingchen really took good care of Song Xiao, and raised Song Xiao as if he were his own child.
Rather than saying that Song Tingchen didn't want her to have a child to affect Song Xiao's status, it would be better to say that Song Tingchen didn't want anyone to threaten his childhood self.
However, this situation is very easy to solve.
"I've already married into the Song family, so there's no need for Song Xiao to continue to be an eyesore."
"You should know that from now on, everything in the General's Mansion, as well as the honor that Song Tingchen has earned for the General's Mansion, will be inherited by the eldest son."
The Song family already has a legitimate eldest son.
That's Song Xiao.
Liu Qingyin went through untold hardships to marry into the Song family.
But it is not for the purpose of letting my own child serve as a stepping stone for Su Tan's child.
Although at the moment, in Song Xiao's eyes, she is much better than Su Tan's biological mother.
But this does not prevent Liu Qingyin from getting rid of Song Xiao and paving the way for her own child.
However, we cannot act too hastily when dealing with Song Xiao, otherwise if Song Tingchen finds out, it will be more trouble than gain.
At this point, we have to take it step by step.
I just wonder, if Su Tan finds out one day that the child she once gave everything for has now died in her own hands, will she be so heartbroken that she wants to go crazy?
…
Since Su Tan returned to Beijing, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds.
Distance is a really good thing.
It can kill all the emotions that shouldn't exist in the heart.
"It's the perfect time for you to improve your cultivation. We're going to the residence of the Minister of Revenue today."
Cui Wan spread out her hands and nodded at Su Tan.
The second son of the Minister of Revenue suddenly fell into a coma these days. No one knew what had happened to him, but his health was getting worse day by day.
The Minister of Revenue invited several imperial physicians, but none of them could find the right treatment.
Finally, the Minister of Revenue suspected that his second son might have been possessed by an evil spirit, so he had to ask Su Tan and Cui Wan to go and take a look.
As soon as Cui Wan and Su Tan stepped into the Shangshu Mansion, they saw a thick aura of death lingering above.
Su Tan's brows tightened instantly.
The second young lady of the Yu family burst into tears and looked at Su Tan with a pleading face, "County Lady Jiayi, please save my husband."
"My husband is still so young, nothing can happen to him!"
Ji Rong was at a loss and cried bitterly. When she saw Yu Yao, the second young master of the Yu family, she immediately threw herself in front of his bed and begged him to wake up quickly.
Mrs. Yu sighed when she saw her second daughter-in-law like this.
Speaking of his second son, he is ridiculous in every way. Yet, such a ridiculous person married such a virtuous wife.
Madam Yu shook her head and reached out to help Ji Rong up. "Rong'er, you've been overworked lately. I heard from your maid that you haven't had a good night's sleep in the past few days. You should go to bed and rest well. Don't let Yao'er fall ill before you wake up."
She really loves her daughter-in-law.
My daughter-in-law is both filial and devoted. It can be said that my son must have accumulated blessings for eight lifetimes to marry such a virtuous wife.
It’s just a pity that his son has always been absurd and has never known how to respect his wife.
Ji Rong is such a good person, but he doesn't take her seriously at all. He treats her like a slave and orders her around at will.
But Ji Rong also has a good temper and never says anything bad about him.
Ji Rong shook her head. "Mother, I can't sleep now that my husband hasn't woken up yet. You'd better ask me to stay here and watch over him."
"When I see my husband, I feel more at ease."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Tan and Cui Wan pitifully.
"Princess Jiayi, please save my husband. Although he acted foolishly in the past, he has changed. He doesn't deserve this fate. Please save him."
Su Tan and Cui Wan looked at each other.
She didn't say whether the second young master of the Yu family could be saved.
She simply fixed her gaze on Ji Rong and asked, "Mrs. Ji, has your husband done anything strange in the past period of time? Has he met any strange people?"
"Or maybe you've been to some strange place."
Ji Rong was stunned, then shook her head. Her face was pale and a bitter smile hung on her lips.
"County Lady Jiayi, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this."
"I never knew where my husband was going, and he wouldn't let me ask about his affairs. If I...if I asked a few more questions, he would definitely get furious. After a long time, I didn't dare to say a word anymore."
Su Tan raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
However, Mrs. Yu frowned deeply after hearing this, and scolded her son for being so disappointing.
"Alas, he doesn't know how to cherish such a good wife like you. Instead, he treats those prostitutes from the brothel like treasures."
