Chapter 162 Song Jingning's Background
Song Mingyu deliberately mentioned Ye Chutang's brother who died young.
"If Miss Ye's brother were still alive, he would be as talented and famous as you."
This made Ye Chutang feel that Song Mingyu was a little strange.
She was not surprised when he mentioned the original owner's mother.
After all, from princes and nobles to ordinary people, everyone knows Tang Wanning.
Many people have mentioned the original owner's mother to her.
The only one who can mention the original owner's brother is Song Mingyu.
Three days have passed since Ye Anling got married.
Except for the time she mentioned her twin brother to Qi Yanzhou, no one else mentioned him to her.
She suppressed her doubts and said calmly, "It's time and fate."
Song Mingyu didn't know that Ye Chutang had already suspected his intentions.
He didn't dare to show it too obviously, and told Ye Chutang about the good deeds Tang Wanning had done in the past.
Ye Chutang looked at Song Mingyu, who had a sad face, and tried to comfort her.
"Some people are alive but have already died; some people are dead but have always lived."
Song Mingyu looked at Ye Chutang in surprise, "I didn't expect Miss Ye to have such a deep understanding at such a young age."
After saying that, he mentioned what happened on Ye Anling's wedding day.
"Miss Ye has made public the truth that has been hidden for more than ten years and avenged your mother and brother. If they knew about this, they would definitely be very pleased."
“This is what I should do.”
Song Mingyu picked up the teacup and took a sip of the half-warm tea.
"Since ancient times, there have been people who died young..."
He was just about to bring the topic back to the point and ask about the whereabouts of Ye Chutang's brother who died young, but Song Jingning arrived before he even showed up.
"Dad, I don't agree with the marriage proposal. Even if you come in person..."
Song Jingning entered the main hall and saw Ye Chutang, and his voice stopped abruptly.
He said somewhat uncomfortably, "I didn't know Miss Ye was here too. Sorry for being so abrupt."
Ye Chutang stood up and said, "It's okay, you guys chat, I'll go find Dean Song."
After saying that, she left the main hall.
Song Zhiyan just came back.
"Miss Ye, the calligraphy class has been arranged, please follow me."
"Okay, thank you, Dean Song."
Song Mingyu listened to the footsteps getting farther and farther away and glared at Song Jingning unhappily.
"You came at the perfect time, not earlier or later!"
Song Jingning: “…”
"Dad, I didn't expect that an old-fashioned person like you could actually chat with Miss Ye. What are you talking about?"
"Can you be more serious, kid?"
Song Jingning immediately put on a serious face and asked, "Is this serious enough?"
Song Mingyu was amused, and a smile appeared on his gentle face.
"Okay, stop pretending, and don't forget what you said. Your mother has already made an appointment with the girl for tea, you must show up and have a chat!"
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Song Jingning had to agree.
"Let's go, the sooner we go, the sooner we'll be back."
After coming out of the academy and getting on the carriage, he reminded, "Dad, Miss Ye is getting married soon, so don't say anything nonsense to her."
"What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot? Dad and Miss Ye are talking about her deceased mother and brother."
Hearing this, Song Jingning felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Do you know Miss Ye's mother?"
"Back then, everyone knew Tang Wan Ning. All the beautiful words could be used to describe her. Unfortunately, she married the wrong person and her life was ruined."
A few days ago, news about the Ye family was spreading everywhere. Song Jingning certainly knew how pitiful Ye Chutang was when he was a child.
Her mother was murdered, her brother was killed, and if Dr. Xue had not been invited in time, she would have died in her womb.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Ye and I were born in the same year and month, with only a difference of twelve days in our birthdays, but our lives are completely different."
When Song Mingyu heard “birthday is only twelve days away”, his breathing suddenly stopped.
He asked, "How do you know Miss Ye's birthday?"
"When we went hunting in Meishan before, Miss Ye knew that she and I were the same age. She wanted to know who was older, so she brought up birthdays."
Song Mingyu felt that Ye Chutang, a woman, must have other purposes for taking the initiative to tell a man her birthday.
Could it be that she had already suspected Jing Ning's background?
Yes, it would be hard to find another person in the world with such similar eyes and eyebrows.
He never imagined that the baby he picked up from the river that year was actually the son of Tang Wanning and Ye Jingchuan!
It was the third day of the winter month seventeen years ago.
Song Mingyu went to Liangzhou to visit his wife who was recuperating at her parents' home.
Not long after he left the capital, he heard the faint cry of a child.
Then a stranded wooden basin was found by the river.
The child, covered in bruises and cold all over, lay in a wooden basin, crying intermittently, breathing out more than in.
Because Song Mingyu's wife had been ill for a long time and he knew a little medical skills, he tried his best to save the baby and brought him to Liangzhou.
During the twelve-day journey, the baby was at the gates of hell several times, but he survived.
After arriving in Liangzhou, he originally wanted to find a suitable family to adopt the sick baby.
His wife Cui Xiangyun saw that the child was pitiful and tenacious, and felt that he was very much like herself, so she wanted to keep him.
Song Mingyu had no objection as long as she was happy.
The Cui family disagreed, thinking that the child's origins were unknown and might cause trouble.
But Cui Xiangyun insisted on keeping the child.
Then something magical happened.
My wife's long-term illness improved day by day as the child recovered.
From then on, the child became the fifth son of the Song family, and his birthday was set on the day he arrived in Liangzhou.
Apart from Song Mingyu, only the people of his father-in-law, the Cui family, knew this secret.
The reason why he was able to hide it from the Song family was that his wife lived in her parents' home for more than a year, and he went to Liangzhou once every three months.
"Xiangyun was in poor health. When she found out she was pregnant, the baby was already more than five months old. She was reluctant to abort the baby, but was also worried about losing the baby, so she told me not to tell anyone.
If the child can be born, it will be a surprise to everyone. If not, it will be as if nothing happened. Fortunately, the child is very strong and survived tenaciously despite being born prematurely. ”
This was the explanation Song Mingyu gave to the Song family after he returned to Beijing with his children and wife.
He and his wife had no reason to lie, so the Song family did not suspect anything and accepted it.
"Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Song Mingyu, who was lost in her memories, immediately came back to her senses when she heard Song Jingning's voice.
"Dad, what were you thinking about just now? Your eyes are wide open."
Song Mingyu slapped away the hand that was dangling in front of her eyes and said, "It's really not easy for you to survive."
Song Jingning: “…”
Why doesn't it sound like a good thing?
"Dad, why are you acting so weird today?"
Song Mingyu hasn't decided yet whether to tell Song Jingning about her life story.
He knocked his son's head angrily and said, "If you don't get married soon, Dad will go crazy!"
Song Jingning saw that Song Mingyu was hiding something, so he tactfully didn't ask any more questions.
"Dad, I'm only seventeen. There's no need to rush to get married, right? Look at Prince Chen. He's already twenty-one and he's just getting married."
"Then why don't you look at those people who have sons at the age of sixteen?"
Song Jingning: “…”
"I don't care. We agreed to see each other for a month. If I can't find the right one, you and mother are not allowed to force me."
"Okay, but you can't just do it half-heartedly."
As they were talking, the father and son arrived at the teahouse.
Song Mingyu took Song Jingning to the private room.
Mrs. Song breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her son coming.
She stood up and said, "Miss Fang, I'll go see what new tea the shopkeeper has, you two can chat."
When she left, she left her maid behind and gave Song Jingning a warning look.
When Song Mingyu saw his wife coming out, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the private room opposite.
"Xiangyun, I have something important to tell you."
