Chapter 200 Su Yan Didn't Come to See Off the Wedding
"She was supposed to come. Yesterday morning, she sent someone to say that she was sick and had caught a cold. She was afraid that she would pass the disease on to me, so she didn't come." Song Jinling explained.
Feng Tianxing felt something was wrong when she heard it. It should be an excuse, right? Could she
be hiding in some corner of the Song Mansion?
No, she had to tell her mother.
"Cousin, I remembered something that I forgot to tell mother. I'm going out for a while."
Feng Tianxing made up an excuse to leave Song Jinling's room.
"Miss, where are you going?" Feng Tianxing's maid Huan'er asked.
Since she turned six last year, she was no longer willing to sleep in her mother's yard.
Song Shuqing arranged a courtyard closest to the main courtyard for her, named Tianxing Courtyard, so that he could take care of her conveniently, and also assigned her corresponding maids and old women to serve her.
Huan'er is one of them, and she is already twelve years old this year.
"Go and help me find where my mother is? Let her come here, I will wait in my cousin's courtyard." Feng Tianxing ordered hurriedly.
"Miss, is there something wrong?" Huan'er heard that her master's tone was not right, and asked with concern.
"Nothing, just do what I say."
Huan'er immediately turned around and ran out of the courtyard.
But as soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she saw Song Shuqing walking quickly.
"Madam, the young lady is asking me to come to you." Huan'er immediately stepped forward to report.
Song Shuqing was pulled by several ladies to talk for a while, and in a blink of an eye, the young lady disappeared. She
guessed that she should have come to the room of her eldest niece.
And she always remembered what the young lady said before, that her eldest niece was married off by someone else on the day of her wedding.
Although her eldest niece's engagement has changed in this life, she must be very vigilant today just in case, and must not let the things the young lady said in her mind happen.
"Mom, my eldest cousin's cousin Su Yan didn't come today. She said she caught a cold. She is recuperating at home, but I suspect this is fake, because I saw her in my previous life, she replaced my cousin on the day of my cousin's wedding." Feng Tianxing approached Song Shuqing and whispered.
Feng Tianxing had never said it clearly before, and today was the first time she said it clearly.
"What?" Song Shuqing asked in a suspicious manner.
"Mother, can you ask my aunt to send someone to Su Yan's house to see if she is really at home? I will watch my cousin here to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Okay, I'll go find your aunt now."
After the two discussed it, Song Shuqing turned and left.
Liang Qiuxiang was busy receiving the female relatives who came to congratulate.
Taking advantage of a temporary gap when no one was around, Song Shuqing immediately pulled everyone to a corner.
"Sister-in-law, your niece Su Yan didn't come to see you off today, right?"
"Yes, she sent a maid yesterday morning to say that she had caught a cold and was afraid that she would pass the disease on to Ling'er, so she didn't come.
This girl is really something. She got sick at such a critical time. The relationship between the two is very good. If she missed it, it would be a lifetime regret." Liang Qiuxiang also felt helpless.
"Sister-in-law, there are some things I cannot tell you now, but please believe me. I am doing this for Ling'er's own good. Can you send a trustworthy maid to her house to see if she is really recuperating at home?" Song Shuqing said very seriously, and her expression was very serious.
After she finished speaking, she nodded.
Liang Qiuxiang looked into Song Shuqing's eyes and saw her extremely serious expression. Out of trust in her elder sister-in-law, she immediately did as she was told and sent her maid Ziwei to the Su family to check in person.
But the distance between the two families was a bit far.
It was already three quarters of an hour when Ziwei arrived at the Su Mansion.
The gateman of the Su Mansion saw that it was a maid from the former lady's sister's family, and he let her in without hesitation.
After all, the eldest lady in the mansion has a particularly good relationship with the Song Mansion.
But the gateman was very strange. Wasn't there a big wedding in the Song Mansion today? How come the personal maid of Madam Song came to the Su Mansion?
It seems that Madam Song really loves their eldest daughter. Even at this time, she still sent a maid to visit their eldest daughter.
Ziwei hurried to the courtyard where Su Yan lived.
"Jiang Ling, your daughter is better now."
Ziwei went directly to the outer room of Su Yan's bedroom without notifying, and saw Su Yan's maid sitting on a stool embroidering.
Ziwei suddenly spoke, which scared Jiang Ling.
"Sister Ziwei, why are you here?" Jiang Ling immediately put the embroidery basket into the basket.
"Madam asked me to come and see if Miss Su is feeling better." Ziwei said and was about to go inside.
"Sister Ziwei, my daughter just drank the medicine today and fell asleep." Jiang Ling wanted to stop her, but was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so she had to follow her into the inner room.
Ziwei saw that there was indeed a person lying on his side in the gauze tent.
But his face was facing inwards, so he couldn't see clearly.
"Miss Su, Miss Su, are you feeling better?" Ziwei called softly.
But the person on the bed didn't answer her.
"Sister Ziwei, my young lady is really feeling unwell. She just drank a tranquilizer and fell asleep. Let's talk outside." Jiang Ling dragged the person out of the bedroom.
Ziwei couldn't stay any longer, fearing that she would wake the person up.
With the accurate result, Ziwei had to go back and report immediately.
When he hurried back to the mansion,
the Wu family's wedding procession had already arrived at the door. The formation was really huge. The Wu family actually used an eight-lift sedan chair.
An eight-lift sedan chair is the highest standard for weddings.
This sedan alone weighs up to 300 kilograms. It is wide and has secret compartments inside for things, such as under the seat. That's why so many people are needed to carry it. The bride feels very stable when sitting on it.
The sedan is very gorgeous and beautiful.
It is bright red, with exquisite carvings, and tassels on the four corners fluttering in the wind.
Of course, sedans of this kind are usually rented. There are sedan shops that specialize in this business to provide convenience for wedding families.
Ziwei got off the carriage and quietly entered the mansion through the side door.
Liang Qiuxiang was busy entertaining guests at this time and had no time at all.
Only Song Shuqing was always paying attention to when Ziwei would come back.
When she saw Ziwei coming in a hurry, she immediately stepped forward to stop the servants.
"I have seen the eldest aunt." Ziwei asked with a kneeling bow.
"Tell me what you saw at the Su family, and then report back to your master." Song Shuqing wanted to know the answer without saying a word.
"Yes, Miss Su was lying on the bed and sleeping."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Song Shuqing asked doubtfully.
"I saw it with my own eyes, but she was facing inside through the gauze curtain, and I didn't see her face." Ziwei answered truthfully.
Song Shuqing was a little relieved.
It would be fine if she just lay on the bed honestly.
Song Shuqing immediately came to Song Jinling's yard and told Feng Tianxing the news.
Feng Tianxing was already waiting anxiously at this time.
She didn't dare to leave her cousin, fearing that she would be tricked if she wasn't paying attention.
"Mom, are you saying that Ziwei didn't see the face of the Su family sister?"
"It was Ziwei who said that Su Yan drank the tranquilizer and fell asleep. She was facing inwards, and there was a gauze curtain between them, but there was indeed a person lying on the bed." Song Shuqing's heart was not completely relieved. "
Mom, we can't be careless. When the wedding party leaves, we should go to the Wu Mansion immediately." Feng Tianxing was still worried.
