On the way back to the Song residence, Qingyin did not show up.
Throughout the journey, she was kept tightly wrapped up by her maids and Song's mother, as if afraid of catching a chill, before being put into the carriage.
Shen Du rode his horse alongside the Song Yuebai brothers, his eyes fixed on the carriage at the front.
His intentions were perfectly clear to both Song Yuebai and his brother.
Song Yuebai and Song Yueqing exchanged a glance and then laughed, changing the subject: "We really owe a lot to Brother Shen today. If it weren't for Brother Shen bringing so many people, it would have been really difficult for us to move all these things."
"Brother Yuebai, you're too kind. It was just a coincidence. It's truly an honor to be able to help Brother Song and Aunt Song," Shen Du said politely.
Even when facing the brother of his beloved, Shen Du was still extremely polite.
"Ha ha."
Song Yuebai and Song Fengqing smiled upon hearing this. They had been chatting with Shen Du along the way, and when they reached the front street of the Song residence, they began to bid farewell to Shen Du.
Shen Du was an unmarried man. He came to the Liu family to move his eldest sister's dowry and coincidentally met the two brothers. However, if the guards of the Shen family were to escort the dowry to the Song family's house, it would be difficult to explain the situation if someone saw it.
The Song brothers, Yuebai and Yuebai, would not deliberately tarnish their eldest sister's reputation, so they subtly persuaded Shen Du to separate from her.
“Brother Shen, this thing has come this far, not far from your residence. Our eldest sister has just returned and has so many things to do, so we won’t keep you here for a drink of water. Let’s leave it here. I’ll go back and call the servants to come and help carry the rest.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Shen Du's eyes, but it wasn't unexpected.
After all, his actions today have caused quite a stir, and the increased public attention will ultimately damage Qingyin's reputation.
He smiled and said, "Alright, then we'll part ways here today. Goodbye, Brother Yuebai and Brother Fengqing."
"Um."
...
A handsome young man dressed in white, exuding an ethereal aura, left with a group of people.
Only the Song family remained, waiting on the street outside the backyard.
Qingyin only caught a glimpse of the white figure leaving in a completely different direction from the Song family when she got off the carriage after Song Yuebai sent someone to call the people in the mansion.
Compared to the burly guards, Shen Du, dressed in white and exuding an ethereal aura, stood out remarkably.
Although she couldn't see his face clearly, Qingyin could tell from the blurry features and figure that the young general's appearance and figure were extremely outstanding, even surpassing that of the lustful Liu Zhi.
At first glance, Qingyin began to wonder why the original owner of the body had two childhood friends, and why she liked the seemingly gentle Liu Zhi. Could it be that she liked Liu Zhi's gentle appearance?
I have to say, Aon is right.
—
As a child, "Song Qingqing" was a cute little girl of about three years old with short legs. Her favorite thing to do was to play with the two older boys who brought people to her house.
The two handsome young men, Xiao Qingqing heard from her father, were named Liu Zhi and Shen Du.
The three-year-old chubby girl can't tell the names of the two older boys or who is who, but the naturally beautiful girl likes the good-looking ones.
Even though she couldn't tell who was who, it didn't stop Xiao Qingqing from chasing after the two handsome young men.
For this reason, she even chose a "gift" that she particularly liked to give to the two older boys.
Well, for a three-year-old toddler who is timid and fearful, the "gift" she likes is something to wonder whether it's a surprise or a delight.
Three-year-old Qingqing held a caterpillar she had caught from the flower bushes tightly in front of her, and said with a mysterious smile, "Brother, Qingqing has brought you a gift."
"Really? Qingqing is so wonderful, I will definitely cherish her."
Little Chen Du happily accepted it, his eyes filled with joy and anticipation as he looked at the cute and delicate little sister.
But the moment he opened his hand, Xiao Shen's face froze.
...
Xiao Shen successfully performed a breakdance in front of Xiao Qingqing.
Before she could even cry for her poor little pet that had been trampled to death, Xiao Qingqing received a beating from her father.
Because of this, Xiao Qingqing began to dislike Shen Du, who was even more handsome than Liu Zhi.
As time passed, Xiao Qingqing didn't recall her childhood "misdeeds." She only remembered that when she was young, Shen Du deliberately hurt her pet, and she was beaten by her father. Therefore, she hated this little brother who always came to the mansion.
As for what pet it was, well, it was too young, I've long forgotten. Who remembers something from when they were three years old? Song Qingqing asked innocently.
—
This matter had long faded from the original owner's memory, and Qingyin couldn't recall it at all without careful thought.
Moreover, at this moment, Song's father, who had just gotten off the carriage and rushed over from his residence, looked at Qingyin, whose face had become much paler and whose figure was frail and delicate, and couldn't help but show a hint of heartache in his eyes.
"Qingqing, you've suffered so much."
A daughter should avoid her father when she grows up.
Mr. Song dared not approach his daughter, so he could only stand close to Mrs. Song and watch Qingyin intently.
The movement caused Song's mother, who was supporting Qingyin, to roll her eyes. "You blind fool, can't you see I'm supporting Qingqing? We can talk inside. Don't crowd your daughter now."
Mr. Song was so ashamed by the scolding that he moved away from Mrs. Song, making room for her to support Qingyin.
His eyes would occasionally steal a resentful glance at Song's mother and Qingyin, a gesture that made Qingyin's eyes light up with amusement.
In my memory, Song's mother and father always had a loving relationship, and looking at it this way, the couple does indeed have a very good relationship.
Seeing Song's father's aggrieved look, Qingyin pleaded for him, "Mother, Father is just worried about me."
"That's right, that's right."
Song's mother glared at Song's father, who had just spoken, and then turned her attention back to her daughter.
"Hey, all you do is defend your dad."
"Alright, from now on, just stay home and relax. I will personally teach Niannian, and nothing will happen."
"Yes, daughter believes in her mother."
Qingyin nodded trustingly.
A more genuine smile appeared in Song's mother's eyes.
Now that her daughter has left the cannibalistic Liu family and even her granddaughter has been sent home, Song's mother's depressed mood has also improved considerably.
After taking Qingyin to her original residence, Huilan Residence, Song's mother gave Qingyin some advice on not letting her feelings get to her head and to live a good life before reluctantly leaving.
It's not that she doesn't want to stay by her daughter's side, but mainly because her daughter just returned from her divorce today and has also taken her granddaughter back. She has a lot of things to do and can't afford to put them off.
