Chapter 553 Adopted as a Daughter
Song Yuntang looked at him, the surrounding lights reflected in his almond-shaped eyes.
"In fact, you have suspected it for a long time, right? The reason why I changed so much four years ago is that Song Yuntang and I, who were sent to Rongshu Village by the Lin family, are completely different people."
Xu Qingye found it difficult to understand this, but he also felt that there were always many mysteries in the things in the world.
It doesn't exist if he doesn't understand it.
"Tang'er means that you are not originally from the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Song Yuntang nodded, "Unbelievable, right? I still feel like I'm dreaming. In the dream, I selfishly had a relationship with you and had two children, without caring whether I would disappear in the future."
"But in the end, I'm still afraid."
"I'm worried that if I go back to that place before, I won't be able to see you or our children anymore."
She tilted her head, and because she was pregnant, she was particularly sentimental.
"I want to be with you until you grow old and watch our children grow up, so I cherish every moment now and take life here seriously."
Although the man was confused, he did not lose his own opinion.
"If one day you really disappear, I will first raise the two children to adulthood, and then find a way to reunite with you where you are. But by then, I may be a little old and my health will not be good. I hope Tang'er will not despise me then."
Song Yuntang smiled and stretched out his little finger.
"It's a deal."
Xu Qingye also stretched out his little finger.
"It's a deal!"
The night breeze on the river was cool in summer. After chatting for a while in the cabin, Xu Qingye took out two river lanterns from under the coffee table like a magic trick.
“Do you want to release river lanterns?”
"OK."
Song Yuntang stood up and followed Xu Qingye out of the cabin.
The two lit the river lanterns and put them into the water. Song Yuntang clasped his hands together and made a silent wish in his heart.
The man stood beside her and looked at her with gentle eyes.
In this life, I only wish that my family will be safe and happy, and that she can always be by my side.
…
The next day, before Song Yuntang got up, Xu Qingye went out and ran to Tang Mansion.
It was almost noon when I got home.
After getting up and having breakfast in the morning, Song Yuntang played with Hao Ting for half an hour. Because he was tired, he handed the child to his parents-in-law and went back to the main courtyard to rest.
When Xu Qingye learned that she had gone back to her room to rest, he entered the room very quietly.
In front of the window, Song Yuntang, wearing a loose lotus-colored dress, was lying on the couch with bare feet.
The skin is so white and translucent that it seems to be able to see light.
Because it was hot, a small box of ice was placed on the open window frame. Occasionally a gust of wind blew into the house through the window, bringing a little coolness.
The man walked forward, picked up the thin blanket that had fallen on the ground and gently put it on her.
Although his movements were gentle, he still woke up the woman on the couch.
Song Yuntang opened his eyes, put his arms around his neck, and spoke in a lazy tone.
“I’m back.”
Looking at his wife's seductive appearance, the man's Adam's apple slid slightly.
"I'm sorry to bother you."
Song Yuntang smiled and shook his head.
"I've been asleep for more than half an hour. It's time to wake up." She blinked. "What did you do at Tang Mansion?"
Xu Qingye said truthfully, "I asked the teacher to take care of you while I'm away."
"I have to trouble the two elders of the Tang Mansion again."
At this time, she naturally wouldn't be careless.
Before Xu Qingye returned to Beijing, she had to do her best to keep a low profile and protect herself and her family.
The man shook his head.
"When the teacher and his wife heard that the person they were going to take care of was you, they were very happy. The teacher also said that some time ago, people in the capital laughed at you for not having a mother's family to support you, so he wanted to go to the palace to ask His Majesty for permission to adopt you as his adopted daughter. He asked me to come back first to ask your opinion."
Worried that Song Yuntang's hands would get sore from hugging his neck for too long, he took her hands off his neck and held them in his palms.
"Although they wanted to replace Li with Tao, the two elders must have such thoughts. I think they think Tang'er gets along well with them. If they protect you, you will be safer when I am not in Beijing."
Knowing that Xu Qingye was thinking about her.
Song Yuntang was still a little hesitant.
Right now, they are just the teacher and his wife, so they can still maintain some distance.
But once she becomes the adoptive father and mother, and there are no other children in the Tang family, when Mr. and Mrs. Tang are old, she, as the adopted daughter, will have to take care of all the big and small matters of the entire Tang family.
It's not that she doesn't want to do these things.
The two elders of the Tang family treated her like their own daughter, so she was willing to support them.
But as she had said to Xu Qingye on the night of Qixi, she was not sure whether she would suddenly disappear from here. If she became the adopted daughter of the Tang family, her sudden disappearance would not only cause the two elders to suffer harm again, but she would also not be able to repay them for their kindness in protecting her.
"I have received such a great favor from the Tang family inexplicably. I am afraid that I will not be able to repay it in the future. I should think about it again."
As if knowing her concerns, the man touched her head.
"I just want you to be at peace now. I'll be there for you in the future."
…
On the day Xu Qingye left, the Tang family asked everyone in the mansion to prepare a generous gift and released the news that they wanted to adopt Song Yuntang as their adopted daughter.
The next day, the Tang family held a banquet specially for her, inviting all the important figures in the capital, and even the emperor came in person.
This shows how much the Tang family values this adopted daughter.
For a time, Song Yuntang became the object of everyone's envy.
She was born in the countryside, but was treated so well by the Tang family. In the future, no one would dare to use the loophole of her mother's family to attack her.
On that day, Song Yuntang appeared in her best attire, wearing the twelve-broken Liuxian long dress specially customized for her by Mrs. Tang.
Bright and dignified, generous and decent, dazzling.
Perhaps because they had never seen her dressed like this before, the guests were amazed as soon as she appeared.
After being amazed, the old man in the capital who had seen the late queen looked strange.
Princess Le'an used to dress plainly and low-key, and no one noticed anything about her. But now she is dressed up, and if you look closely, she does look somewhat similar to the deceased eldest daughter of the Tang family.
No wonder the Tang family adopted her as their adopted daughter.
But smart people also understand.
Tang Jingshan had been an official in the court for decades and would not recognize her simply because of her appearance.
Li Junyao looked in the direction of Song Yuntang, with a flash of nostalgia in his eyes.
When Qin Xue married him, she was the same age as the current Princess Le'an, and was also so bright and beautiful.
If only she were still here.
Outsiders didn't know that Tang Jingshan and Mrs. Tang had already known that Song Yuntang was pregnant. Worried that she would get tired, they kept the ceremony simple and ended the banquet early, allowing her to rest in the yard prepared for her in the Tang Mansion.
After Tang Jingshan sent the guests away, he took Hao Ting to her yard.
When Hao Ting saw her, he was overjoyed and ran towards her.
"Mother!"
Song Yuntang smiled, took his hand, and nodded to Tang Jingshan.
"Godfather is here."
Tang Jingshan was delighted when he had a daughter.
"Are you used to living here?"
