Chapter 362: The subordinates sent out have returned
Song Tingchen just frowned and let the raindrops hit him, and at this time he ignored that Song Xiao was also getting wet in the rain.
He just frowned in a complicated manner, his eyes fixed on Song Xiao.
"Xiaoxiao, do you know what I dreamed about last night?"
Song Xiao's expression suddenly became even more confused. He didn't understand why his father asked such irrelevant questions.
"Father!"
"I don't want to know what you dreamed about last night. I just know it was raining, and if we keep talking here, we'll get soaked!"
"Besides, Dad, you haven't told me why you haven't come back for a whole day and night."
Song Xiao looked aggrieved, and his face turned a little paler.
He felt sad.
Why did my father become so strange after disappearing for a day and a night?
Song Xiao felt a little panic for no reason.
What he fears and hates most is a good person who suddenly changes his personality.
His mother was like that at the beginning. Suddenly her temperament changed and she started to not want him and his father.
So much so that even now, his mother still doesn't take him seriously.
Song Xiao is always afraid. Although he doesn't say it, he often dreams of being abandoned by Su Tan at night.
He was actually afraid that his father would also abandon him, and then he would really become an unwanted child.
Sometimes people's intuition is always surprisingly accurate.
The more Song Xiao feared something, the more it would follow him, haunting him like a ghost.
The next moment, Song Xiao heard Song Tingchen say, "I dreamed of Changle, the person you mentioned, last night."
"I dreamed about what she looked like and how she died."
When Song Tingchen talked about this, his eyes were complicated and he just stared at Song Xiao.
Song Xiao felt his scalp tingling when he was stared at by him like that. He didn't know whether it was because the rain was too cold on his body, or because Song Tingchen's eyes at the moment made him feel scared, his body trembled unconsciously.
“Father…”
"Master General, if you have anything to say, let's go back inside and talk. It's raining so hard, young master, if you get wet for too long, you'll catch a cold again."
The servants of the general's mansion hurried over with umbrellas to shield Song Tingchen and Song Xiao from the wind and rain.
But the storms in their hearts continued endlessly.
Song Tingchen took a deep look at the umbrella above his head, then looked at Song Xiao whose clothes were already wet, and finally hummed.
"good."
"Take the young master to change into dry clothes."
"Don't let the young master catch a cold."
After Song Tingchen said this, Song Xiao clearly felt his father's concern for him, but he still felt extremely panicked.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand, his lips trembling, "Dad..."
Song Tingchen didn't say anything, but just watched quietly as the servant held an umbrella and took Song Xiao back to the room to change clothes.
Things in this world are probably always coincidental.
Just at this moment, the person Song Tingchen sent to investigate what Cui Wan had done finally arrived.
The subordinate had a complicated expression. He looked at Song Tingchen, then at the group of Song Tingchen's servants holding umbrellas, "General..."
Song Tingchen signaled the servant holding the umbrella to go back first.
The servants did not dare to disobey, thinking that they had some important military affairs to discuss.
The subordinates, on the other hand, held up an umbrella to shield Song Tingchen from the wind and rain.
Song Tingchen frowned, "How's the investigation going?"
After being away for so long, there should be some clues.
The subordinate looked at him and hesitated to speak.
Song Tingchen smiled bitterly twice.
He looked up at the gray sky and felt that the rain today was not hitting him.
But it struck him deep in the heart.
"What did you find out? Just say whatever you want to say."
After all, there was nothing he couldn't bear.
The subordinate walked forward with Song Tingchen, holding an umbrella, and spoke in a low voice.
"During the summer vacation, I followed your instructions to check on Master Cuiwang's whereabouts and what she had purchased, and discovered..."
The subordinate paused, then looked up at Song Tingchen and quickly lowered his head and said, "I found that Master Cui Wan had bought a lot of things for babies."
"And I've checked and found that these things are for newborn baby girls."
"But in less than three days, all those things were burned again."
"Later... I never saw Master Cui buy anything again."
"During that time, Master Cui seemed to have been taking care of a mysterious girl. After a long investigation, I discovered that the girl's surname was Su."
He had to go through a lot of trouble to find this out after spending a lot of manpower and financial resources.
Later he found out that the girl surnamed Su was pregnant at that time.
"but……"
The subordinate carefully looked at Song Tingchen's face. Seeing that he seemed to be in a bad mood, he quickly lowered his head and stammered, "But... there are too many girls with the surname Su in this world, and there is no evidence to prove that the girl must be our ex-wife."
"There are many people with the same name and surname in the world. General, there is no need to worry about it."
not to mention--
The subordinate scratched his head, but couldn't help but look up and carefully look at Song Tingchen's face, and spoke carefully.
"Besides, I feel that if it is really the ex-madam, she will certainly not hide it from you and will definitely tell you about it."
After all, the ex-wife was so angry at the general's decision to marry a concubine that she ignored everything and insisted on getting a divorce.
If she finds out she is pregnant after the divorce, she will definitely come back.
How could it be that after she found out she was pregnant, she not only didn't come back, but also didn't write a letter, and didn't even inform me that the child was gone.
This is a bit unreasonable after all.
In the end, the subordinates still felt that Su Tan would not do such a thing.
Probably because he felt that all women in the world would use children to restrain their husbands.
If she found out that she was pregnant, she would not care at all and would tell her husband so that she could use it as a bargaining chip to drive away all the women around her husband.
Even if a child is careless and fails to keep his life or grow up safely, the child's father will spend his whole life doing nothing but to make the child's father feel guilty.
This is what everyone in the world says, and this is also what is written in operas.
Song Tingchen's subordinates subconsciously felt that Su Tan should do the same as other women in the world.
Song Tingchen's face turned extremely pale in an instant.
"you……"
His lips and teeth were trembling, and at that moment he could hardly stand, as if he would fall in the heavy rain in the next moment.
"you……"
Song Tingchen closed his eyes and began to tremble uncontrollably when he heard his own voice.
"Did you find out the child's name?"
At this moment, Song Tingchen's eyes were filled with hope.
He wanted to get another name from this.
At least not Changle.
Or even if it's Changle, it doesn't matter, as long as it's not a baby girl.
The subordinate shook his head.
"This... Please forgive my incompetence, I can't find it."
He was able to find out that Cui Wan had burned all those things because he heard it from the neighbors. They said that one day they saw thick smoke coming out of Cui Wan's house and heard intermittent crying.
Afterwards, Cui Wan came out and threw away the ashes.
Someone couldn't help but take a look out of curiosity and found fragments of a child's shoe that had not been burned cleanly.
Now it became clear what it was.
"That's all I know, but it was a baby girl."
When the subordinate said this, he frowned and couldn't help wondering whether Su Tan didn't tell Song Tingchen because the child was a girl.
"If...if that is really the ex-wife's child, is it...is it because it is a baby girl that she is unwilling to tell you?"
