Chapter 470 Seeing You, Everything Is Alright
Song Yuntang leaned his head on Xu Qingye's shoulder.
I took his hand and placed it on my abdomen. Maybe because the pregnancy was in the back wall, my belly didn't look very big.
"This little guy is usually very lively and kicks my belly all the time."
Xu Qingye had a gentle expression.
"It seems to be a naughty little thing."
Song Yuntang smiled faintly, "He's still a little greedy cat. Every time he smells delicious food, he moves especially happily."
Xu Qingye smiled.
"That's up to you."
"What?"
Song Yuntang pushed him unhappily, but he wasn't really angry.
"How has everything been going at home during the time I was missing?"
Xu Qingye restrained his smile.
"During the time you were away, my parents were not in a good mood, and my grandmother was seriously ill. Wencheng was training hard with General Shi in the mountains, saying that he wanted to pass the military examination as soon as possible, so that he could avenge you when he made great achievements in the future. My mother-in-law fainted from crying when she heard about you, and she hasn't recovered yet. I just came back from the capital, and I have been anxious to find you, but I haven't had time to go to Rongshu Village to see her."
Song Yuntang nodded, "Have my second brother and second sister-in-law got married?"
"After something like this, how can he still think about getting married?" Xu Qingye glanced at her, "Second brother said he would wait for you for at least a full year before considering getting married."
Song Yuntang's eyes turned red as she laughed.
I thought not many people would be sad about her leaving, but I didn't expect that there are still people who remember it.
"Now that I'm home, everything can get back on track."
Xu Qingye hummed.
"This will never happen again!"
Song Yuntang looked at him again, "How did you know I was still alive? I heard from Lin Jingyao that he replaced my clothes with Lin Zhaozhao's, trying to confuse people."
"I heard from Xia Ning that they found you in a cave. I felt something was wrong at the time, so I led Coroner Xu to the cave under the cliff, hoping that you might still be alive." Xu Qingye held her hand tightly and said, "Fortunately it wasn't you."
…
The journey from Hongjiang City to Anyang County was long. As Song Yuntang was pregnant, she did not dare to drive the carriage too fast. When they encountered a town halfway, they got off the carriage to fill their stomachs. After a short rest, they set off again. They did not get home until after noon.
Not long after Song Yuntang got on the carriage, he began to feel sleepy. He slept very soundly on Xu Qingye and only woke up a quarter of an hour before the carriage arrived in Anyang County.
Seeing the carriage stop, Xu Qingye got off first.
At this time, the elders of the Xu family heard the noise and were all waiting at the door of the house, including Mrs. Hu who had been ill for many days.
At this moment, he was leaning on a crutch, supported by his uncle and his wife, and looking intently in the direction of the carriage.
"Qingye, have you found Tang'er?" asked Jiang.
Song Yuntang lifted the car curtain behind Xu Qingye.
"Mom, I'm back."
Xu Qingye was worried that she would get bumped, so he picked her up and carried her down.
The moment Jiang saw the person, she kept wiping away her tears.
"I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back!" He then touched her arm, looked her up and down, and said distressedly, "You've lost weight."
Song Yuntang smiled faintly.
"I have been recuperating in a small mountain village for a while, which made my parents worried."
Xu Yongwang said, "Your safe return is more important than anything else."
"Your father is right." Jiang responded to Xu Yongwang's words while pulling her into the house. "It's hot outside. Let's talk inside first."
Xu Qingye was worried that Jiang Shi might not notice Song Yuntang's eye abnormality and cause her to stumble, so he hurried forward to hold her other arm and whispered in her ear, "Tang'er, grandparents, uncle, and aunt are here too."
Song Yuntang reacted and looked at the other blurry figures with an apologetic look on his face.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt, I'm really sorry that I didn't see the elders just now. I'm so rude."
Several people quickly said they didn't mind.
Only then did Jiang realize something was unusual and took her hand.
"Tang'er's eyes..."
Song Yuntang looked at the blurry shadow in front of him and said, "It's not a big problem. It's just that it's not convenient to take medicine now because I'm pregnant. I can recover completely through treatment later."
Everyone understood. No wonder she didn't see it just now. It turned out that her eyes were injured.
When I looked at her bulging belly again, I felt even more heartbroken.
"How old is it?" asked Mrs. Hu.
Song Yuntang smiled, "Grandma, in ten days it will be nine months."
Mrs. Hu was kindhearted. She looked at the thin girl and couldn't help but started to cry. "Look at the girl who has been tortured. She is almost full-term pregnant, but her belly is still so small."
Zhang was busy stroking her back to comfort her.
"Mom, some women don't show their bellies when they're pregnant. We only knew she was pregnant when the daughter-in-law of Cuiying's family at the end of the village called for the midwife when she was giving birth."
Song Yuntang also smiled and said, "Aunt is right. My pregnancy is in the back so my belly is not noticeable. The baby is healthy now, so you don't have to worry, grandma."
Jiang looked at her.
"How did Tang'er fall off the cliff before? Why did someone appear in the cave wearing the same clothes as you?"
Song Yuntang said, "That was Lin Zhaozhao. She pushed me from behind, and I pulled her down with me and let her cushion me. That's how I protected myself and the child. I only injured my arm and eye, and it took a while for me to get better."
She didn't tell her family about Lin Jingyao.
Xu Qingye knew about this matter, so he just needed to trust her. If other people knew about it, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
After hearing this, Mrs. Hu's face was filled with excitement.
"That vicious woman, rest in peace after she dies! She was living a life of luxury and wealth, but she was always thinking of ways to harm others."
Now that the boat has passed through thousands of mountains and returned home, Song Yuntang has relaxed a lot.
"I'm actually fine. Although the conditions outside are not as good as at home, I haven't treated myself badly. But grandma, how are you feeling lately?"
Mrs. Hu's face was full of kindness.
"Seeing you makes me feel better."
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang quickly stood up from her seat.
"I forgot the time while chatting. I have to go cook."
Seeing this, Zhang also stood up and followed her to the backyard, "Sister-in-law, I'll help you."
Xu Yuande looked at Xu Qingye.
"How many days has Qingye been back from the capital?"
"Including today, it's been five days." Xu Qingye replied.
Now that his granddaughter-in-law has been found, his great-grandson is about to be born, and his grandson also has a promising future, Xu Yuande's face is beaming.
"Yesterday, the messenger went to the village to deliver the announcement. It was quite a grand ceremony and attracted people from the neighboring villages. We only found out yesterday that you won the first place. It happened that your grandmother was not in good spirits recently, so we asked your father and uncle and aunt to lead us to Anyang County. Who knew that when we got here, your mother told us that Tang'er was still alive. You have been looking for news about her these days, so we waited here together."
Xu Qingye glanced in the direction of Song Yuntang and said nothing.
Being able to get her back is more important than anything else.
