Chapter 295 Seeking the Liang Family
After Song Rouxi passed away, the news of this incident was not reported back to the Song family until three days after she was buried.
Old Mrs. Song cried out "Ouch" on the spot, fell to the ground, and began to wail in pain.
"She was my granddaughter, how could you be gone? Grandma, at such an old age, had to bury her young one. How could you be gone? How could you be gone? You were such a good person when you entered the palace, how could you be gone now? Oh my God..."
She cried for a long time, her eyes were red and swollen, but no one came to comfort her.
Sitting on the chair, Song Ying's belly was slightly bulging. Listening to the endless crying of Old Lady Song, her eyes were filled with disgust and impatience. Only when she knew that Song Rouxi was gone did her eyes reveal an unconcealable joy.
It's good that she's gone. Song Rouxi is finally gone. She thought she would really become the Crown Princess smoothly. She was melancholy for a while. Times have changed. The two of them are now in different situations, one in heaven and the other on earth. It's too unfair that Song Rouxi still has to be the Crown Princess.
Looking at her bulging belly, the doctor said that she was already three months pregnant, but she had been living a miserable life at the Liang family and her period had not come regularly, so she had not noticed it.
But as soon as this child came, her parents-in-law, who had originally disliked her, became much more friendly, and delicious food and supplements were sent to her house as if they were free.
When have you ever seen so many good things before?
Song Ying thought with some irony.
Even going home to visit family was only a privilege I could enjoy after I became pregnant, but hearing such good news when I came back was worth it.
Song Laoer was resting at home, drinking tea and thinking.
Old Lady Song cried for a long time, and when no one came to comfort her, she turned around and scolded, "Second Brother, don't you and your daughter have hearts? Didn't you hear that your eldest niece is gone? Aren't you sad at all? She suffered so much, if it weren't for that little bitch, Third Girl, how could she have become like this! The prince used to love our Rouxi the most."
Song Laoer's thoughts were interrupted. He had been thinking about how to get the deeds of those shops and farms from Old Lady Song these days.
Those shops and farms don't know what's going on, and now it's getting harder and harder to run their business. The monthly interest has been decreasing little by little from fifty or sixty taels at the beginning, and now the total amount they receive every month is only sixty taels!
The family members needed food and drink. Song Han, the eldest son of the wife, had to drink and have fun all day long because the eldest brother Song was locked up and his sister was also in the palace and could not come out. He alone spent more than ten taels of silver every month.
This is not a solution.
"Mother, we know you feel sad, but it's rare for Song Ying to come back today, and you don't have only one granddaughter." Song Lao Er said in a cold tone.
This eldest niece didn't get any benefits, but instead got a lot of disadvantages.
Ever since Song Rouxi was convicted and died, and Boss Song was imprisoned, his position as a sixth-rank official has been shaky. Everyone knows his relationship with the two of them and keeps their distance from him. He has long hated the eldest wife's family, so how could he be sad to hear that Song Rouxi is gone?
Just clapping happily!
Old Lady Song was stunned for a moment, and immediately muttered, "How can Song Ying be compared with Rouxi? Rouxi is the prince's concubine. The Liang family doesn't value Song Ying. What's the matter..."
"Grandma!" Song Ying took a deep breath and interrupted her, suppressing her anger. "I finally got home today, and you have to say all this? My mother-in-law has prepared a lot of gifts. Since you don't like me, I'd better go back first."
As he was about to stand up, Song Lao Er hurriedly stopped him, saying that the Liang family did not value Song Ying, but they valued the child in her belly.
Song Ying is pregnant. This is Liang Lao San's only child. If it is a son, why worry about the Liang family not helping him?
"Daughter, don't be angry. Your grandmother is old and confused. You are pregnant, so sit down quickly and don't disturb the baby."
Seeing that her father still cared about her, Song Ying finally felt better.
Old Mrs. Song saw her second son circling around Song Ying. Although she was unwilling, she also knew that the Song family was no longer the same as before.
I held back from cursing out loud.
In her heart, how can the eldest brother's family compare to the second brother's family?
After drinking tea, Song Lao Er brought up the matter, "Look, Dad is having a hard time staying in his position now. He's being ostracized by his colleagues all day long. It's all because of your uncle's family."
Song Ying put down the milk tea in her hand and roughly guessed what her father meant.
"So, that's how Dad does it."
"According to me, can you go home and beg your father-in-law? After all, he has been promoted from Minister of Rites to Minister of Rites. He can't just watch me, your in-law, live like this. What if you are pregnant with a son? It would be unreasonable for your grandson's family to do this, right?"
Although Song Ying hated Liang Lao San and didn't want to give birth to children for him, she also knew that only with a child could she gain a foothold in the Liang family.
Your parents' family is also crucial. It's difficult to get along with your two sisters-in-law, and they always look down on you. Isn't it because your parents' family is not good enough?
She also immediately had an idea, "But is it possible? My father-in-law has always been impatient to take care of these things."
"How would I know if you don't ask? No matter how cruel and cold-blooded he is, he won't sit idly by and do nothing for the sake of his grandson. And Dad wants to ask you, is Liang Laosan really... completely stupid?"
Song Lao Er asked tentatively, if this boy still has some brains and is not completely stupid, then he can be allowed to go. How can his parents ignore his son when he is begging for help?
When Song Ying heard her father mention Liang Lao San, disgust filled her eyes and she couldn't help but complain, "Why bring up this guy?"
"Okay, okay, Dad shouldn't have mentioned it."
"Although Liang Laosan is mentally retarded, he...his IQ is probably that of a five-year-old child." After spending time with him day and night, she had long realized that Liang Laosan had the brain of a child, unruly and playful, but not completely brainless.
"In that case..." Song Lao Er coaxed, "You can just mention it to him. He has the heart of a child and will listen to you if you coax him."
Song Ying frowned, but couldn't resist her father's attentive gaze and nodded hesitantly.
"Since Dad said so, I'll give it a try later."
"Okay, you are daddy's good daughter. Now the family depends on you." Song Lao Er's face was full of admiration. Song Ying was stunned for a moment, and a slight smile appeared on her face.
For so many years, only Song Rouxi has enjoyed this treatment, and now it's finally my turn.
After returning to the Liang family, Song Ying had to go see Mrs. Liang and tell her what was going on.
When the people arrived, the maid who served Madam Liang bowed and said, "Madam, the lady is resting. Please wait for a moment."
Song Ying was unhappy, but thinking that her parents had something to ask her, she sat down patiently. The maids brought her milk tea, and she drank it slowly while counting the time.
