Chapter 296 Qiao Xianglan's Birthday
After waiting for a long time, until her waist was extremely sore from sitting, Mrs. Liang finally got up.
She was served and walked out, rinsed her mouth, washed her face and hands, combed her hair again, and put on makeup before she had time to sit down and talk to Song Ying.
She looked indifferent. She picked up the teacup and took a sip before she said slowly, "I'm back."
Mrs. Liang really disliked Song Ying. She had never been very friendly to her since she got married. It was only recently that she became pregnant that she became a little more friendly.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law just came back from her parents' home and came to see you. My father and mother asked me to thank you on their behalf for the gift I prepared."
Mrs. Liang nodded, smiling more, "It's good that you are sensible."
If this tone was used when talking to a younger person, there would naturally be no problem, but the problem was that this sentence "Just be sensible" was directed at Song Ying's parents.
She clenched her hands in her sleeves, and after enduring for a long time, she finally swallowed her anger. Mrs. Liang was a little impatient, "You've seen it all, so go back and take good care of the third child. He's been playing outside for a long time, and he must be tired when he gets home. Remember to feed him and take good care of him."
This kind of thing should have been done by servants.
But Mrs. Liang demanded that Song Ying must do it herself, because she said that no servant could do the job as well as she did.
Thinking that she was pregnant and had to serve that idiot, Song Ying couldn't help but smile so hard that her face almost twisted. She just wanted to tell this matter as soon as possible so that she could go back and rest.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law has one more thing to say."
Mrs. Liang said "hmm" indifferently, indicating that she should continue.
"My father has been implicated by my eldest uncle's family lately, causing him to be looked down upon and ostracized in official circles. I, your daughter-in-law, have been thinking about whether I can ask my father-in-law to help me. Speaking of which, this matter is also for the good of me and my third child..."
Mrs. Liang almost laughed out of anger, looking at her with a half-smile, "How can you do this for the child's benefit? You want your father-in-law to speak well of your father, but why does that involve the child? Third daughter-in-law, what you said is not right."
"Mother, please listen to me and I will explain slowly." Song Ying softened her tone. "The third child is kind-hearted, but in this life... I can't think too much about this child. Mother doesn't want to see the third child's child grow up helpless, right? The children of the eldest and second brothers will have their own parents to take care of them in the future, and my child..."
Her eyes were red. "Mother, this is the third child's only child. My family is good, and this child will be good in the future... This is also my parents' only grandson, so how can I not love him?"
Mrs. Liang frowned, but her heart softened. After all, this was her youngest son's only child.
"How do you want us to help you?"
Song Ying knew her goal had been achieved and she stopped crying. "I want to ask my mother to ask my father-in-law to find a new place for my father. If we can move up a level... that would be the best."
Mrs. Liang thought she had too big an appetite, but looking at her slightly bulging belly, she didn't say anything.
"I understand what you mean. I will discuss this matter with your father-in-law. You are tired today, so go back first. Be sure to take good care of the third brother."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."
After walking out of the house, Song Ying wiped away the crying and aggrieved look on her face, and her face was cold.
The next day.
Mrs. Liang called Song Ying over. Song Ying sat down, knowing that there would be something to come, and she was full of anticipation.
Mrs. Liang thought about what her husband said.
"Switch positions? Song Liangdi has offended the Queen and the Crown Prince. The second son of the Song family is a member of the Song family after all. If he uses his connections to help him at this critical juncture, I'm afraid it will also implicate our Liang family."
"But the child in Song Ying's belly might be the Third Brother's only offspring in this life. That's all the Third Brother will have in his life, but that child... apart from us, will also make plans for him."
Lord Liang pondered for a moment. After all, Mrs. Liang had slept in the same bed with him for decades, so she knew that he had been persuaded.
After a long silence, he said, "I'll do my best for the sake of the third brother. Go to sleep."
"good."
.........
"Did the father-in-law agree to help?" Song Ying's face was full of joy.
She thought she had to persuade Liang Laosan to act as a lobbyist. She put in a lot of effort last night and taught him many times before finally teaching him how to start. For this reason...even during her pregnancy, she allowed him to do some shameful things.
Don’t say that although Liang Laosan is stupid, he is still a human being after all, and he can learn things in this area without any guidance.
But since this morning, her stomach has been aching. Thinking of Liang Laosan's brutal strength, she was very angry that it might have caused her to have a miscarriage.
I had completely forgotten about it. It was my own initiative.
"Your father-in-law just said it directly and did his best. Don't hold out too much hope. Your Song family has offended too many people now." Mrs. Liang didn't dare to say too much, but she knew that since her husband agreed, she was naturally half sure.
This answer was also expected. Song Ying nodded and decided to use another plan to let Liang Lao San persuade Mrs. Liang.
In order to help her parents, she was willing to give it her all.
..........
On this day, the entire Song family gathered together, including Song Lan, who was about to take the imperial examination.
Today is Qiao Xianglan's birthday, so she asked the kitchen to prepare a table full of delicious food in advance.
"This sweet and sour fish is delicious, please eat more, ma'am." Song Lao San was gentle and affectionate from morning to night, and he kept picking up his wife's favorite dishes at the table, making Song Lan and Song Ci feel that they were both redundant.
Qiao Xianglan couldn't stop smiling. She picked up the piece of sweet and sour fish and ate it. She felt that the sweet and sour fish was sweeter than honey.
Since moving, living separately from her children and without the troubles from her mother-in-law, the couple's relationship is so sweet that it's even better than when they first got married.
"Mom, this ginseng chicken soup is delicious. I'll give you a bowl." Song Lan scratched his head, unwilling to be outdone.
Song Ci pinched a piece of fried crispy and tender pumpkin cake, "Mom, this pumpkin cake is good, freshly fried, the shell is crispy and the inside is soft and tender."
Being treated like a star by everyone, Qiao Xianglan felt that she had never been so happy in her life.
She suddenly felt sad, and Song Laosan saw the right time and took out the gift he had prepared long ago.
"Madam, come and take a look at the gift I prepared for you. Do you like it?" God knows that he had been searching for three months before finding such a pair!
"What the hell is this...it's even stored in such a precious box. Now that we've separated, we need to be frugal. How come you don't understand...ah! What is this!"
"This must be worth a lot of money! Dad, you've spent a lot of money this time." Song Lan screamed exaggeratedly and took a closer look.
Song Ci was also secretly amazed. She thought the gift she chose was good, but compared with her father's, it was still far behind.
