Chapter 119 Dropping out of school? Getting married secretly?
When she grew up, she realized that her brother was the most sober one in the family.
"Now that you know, you should understand how much hope Dad has for you. You're making money through business, but you don't have the power. You can't keep this money."
Song Ci spoke earnestly.
"I haven't seen you for almost a year. Why are you acting like a little adult? Not cute at all." Song Lan felt lost. The sister who once needed his protection could actually say something convincing.
Does she no longer need a brother like me?
"Brother, our third room can only rely on you. I'm your sister, you don't want me to be bullied, right?"
Song Lan became excited when he heard this. "Of course. With me here, no one can bully you."
"Then promise me that you will go back to study."
Seeing his sister's seriousness, Song Lan scratched his head: "People say I have no talent for studying. What if I go back and study in vain?"
Knowing that he didn't dislike studying, but was just afraid that it would be fruitless and that he would disappoint his parents and himself, Song Ci put aside her worries.
"Brother, you have always been the smartest boy since you were little. It's just a matter of studying. I believe you can do it."
Song Lan was encouraged by his sister's words and felt warm in his heart. He immediately decided to continue studying and take the next exam next year.
night.
Song Ci called Tian'er over and asked, "Did you have a good rest?"
Tian'er nodded, "I didn't get hurt along the way, and the Third Master even took extra care of me. I'll be fine after a rest."
"I have something to tell you. Help me investigate two people..."
"who."
"The prince's teacher, and that Bai Xiuxiu."
....
"Sir, Miss Song seems to be being targeted."
Pei Ji put down the pen in his hand, and a drop of ink spread on the rice paper, and the words he had just written were ruined at this moment.
"Something happened."
"Miss Song seems to be investigating two people, one of whom is Mei Xi, Mei Daru."
"Him?" Pei Ji frowned. "How could he be involved?"
"It's a strange thing to say."
A Lin told everything he knew about what had happened to Song Lan in the Song family recently.
"I was plotted against." Pei Ji came to this conclusion without any hesitation.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Just asking how Pei Ji handled it.
"Deal with it. Erase all traces of her hiring someone to investigate. Don't involve her."
After a moment's thought, he added, "There are only two people protecting her. Add one more, one with good martial arts skills. The maidservant beside her has incredible strength, but no strategy. If she really meets someone with real skills, they may not be able to protect her."
A Lin: "Yes, I'll do it right away."
Halfway through the journey, he turned back and asked tentatively, "Sir, should we tell Miss Song San about this?"
"Say? No."
But if he didn't tell anyone about this good deed, how would Miss Song know? Is the young master stupid?
"Miss Song San doesn't know."
"Let her know. Given her personality, it will only make her more worried. No need to tell her."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Alin did not insist any further and turned around and walked out.
Song Lan had tried his best to be quiet at home these past few days, but he still couldn't avoid being glared at all day long. No matter how hard he tried to please his parents, they acted as if he didn't exist.
Until the evening, when it was time for dinner, he was gone.
"Where have you been, little brat?" Song Lao San blamed his son on the surface, but he still felt distressed in his heart. He started to worry when he didn't see his son for a meal.
"Or, let's go out and look for it." Qiao Xianglan said anxiously.
"No, just eat your meal. It's winter, and your body can't stand it."
Seeing that Qiao Xianglan was still worried, Song Ci said, "I'll ask someone to go check it out, don't worry, Dad and Mom."
For almost a year, Song Ci has been calm and capable in all matters big and small at home. Unconsciously, Song Laosan and Qiao Xianglan have begun to tend to follow their daughter's words.
The back door of the Song family.
"Xiu Xiu, why are you here?"
The girl standing at the door was wearing a light pink coat and a white fur cape embroidered with plum blossoms. She had fair cheeks and a pair of big, round eyes that flashed with shrewd calculations.
"I just miss you. You haven't come to see me for so long, nor have you written to me." Bai Xiu Xiu said in a wronged tone.
Song Lan's heart melted. "Don't worry, I'll come to see you soon. You came to see me in such a cold day. Thank you for your hard work. Are your parents' illnesses getting better? Do you have any money?"
Speaking of this, Bai Xiuxiu's eyes turned red, "I was just about to tell you, Brother Lan. My parents' condition has worsened. The doctor said that if we can't come up with fifty taels of silver, I'm afraid, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive this winter..."
Song Lan was nervous, "It's so serious!"
"I have no other choice. I have borrowed from all the relatives around me who can lend me money." Bai Xiu Xiu's tears were like pearls that had broken off the string. She was also very beautiful, which made people feel pity for her.
Seeing his beloved girl crying like this in front of him, Song Lan immediately took out his purse and handed over fifty taels.
"I just happen to have fifty taels left." He lived frugally and saved about twenty taels of the silver given to him by his family. The remaining thirty taels were earned by helping his classmates take notes and copying books in bookstores.
Now it’s all given to Bai Xiu Xiu.
But he didn't feel sorry at all. He was very happy to be able to help his beloved girl.
"Brother Lan, this money is earned by your hard work, I can't take it."
"If you do this again, I will be unhappy. Just take what is given to you. I am a man, and I will take care of the money."
Bai Xiuxiu burst into laughter and glanced at him coquettishly, "In this world, you are the only one who treats me well."
Song Lan was dazed by this look and didn't know how he got back to his room. When he opened the door, he saw Song Ci sitting inside.
His heart skipped a beat, and he said with embarrassment, "Sister, why are you here?"
Song Ci pointed at the food on the table and said, "Dad and Mom are worried about you, so they asked me to come and see where you've been."
Song Lan was about to lie, but when he met Song Ci's gaze, he felt uneasy and told everything.
"Xiu Xiu's parents are not in good health. Besides me, who else can take care of her? I can't just sit back and do nothing."
"I've learned some medical skills. Maybe I can tell her what's wrong with her parents."
He thought for a moment and said, "I didn't hear what Xiuxiu said. It seems like this is a disease that is not easy to cure."
He spent nearly two hundred taels of silver on the patient's treatment, not even counting the gifts he gave Bai Xiuxiu, and yet the patient wasn't cured! He didn't even know what the illness was.
What a good plan.
"I have some good material here. Since you like her, why not give it to her to make clothes for the winter?"
Song Lan's eyes lit up, "Really?"
What Xiuxiu was wearing today was what he had given her last time. He was short of money now, and wanted to give Xiuxiu some nice clothes. This was the perfect solution.
"Really." Song Ci smiled and changed the subject, "But I want to go with you."
