Chapter 305 Chen Chunhua Goes to Song Mansion
"Miss, you're back."
Outside the door, Du Ping saw Du Zhihuan's carriage arrive at the door, and hurried out to greet her respectfully.
"How are Dad and Mom?"
Du Ping smiled and said, "All is well. Madam knows that Miss will be back today, so she asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite meal. She has already sent people over several times, asking you to have dinner in the main courtyard upon your return."
Du Zhihuan's fatigue from the journey disappeared when she heard this. Her parents always doted on her.
"Daddy, Mommy, I'm back."
Su Beiqing hurriedly stood up and pulled her to a seat. "Did you have fun in Dujia Village?"
Du Zhihuan nodded. "The Mu family has also gone to pray. My sister, Princess Anyang, and Princess Qingyang and I all had a great time. However, we have classes tomorrow so we have to come back early."
"Hanhuan." Du Henian opened his mouth with a doting smile on his face. "When the winter vacation at Fenggong Academy comes, our whole family will go to Dujiazhuang to have a good rest for a few days."
"That's great! Winter is the perfect time for a hot spring bath."
"Daddy and Mommy." Du Zhixu walked in. "Let's go next door for dinner. Huanhuan must be hungry after traveling all the way."
"Yes, Huanhuan, let's go have dinner." Su Beiqing pulled Du Zhihuan out of the room.
During the meal, Du Henian and Su Beiqing, as usual, sandwiched Du Zhihuan between them and fed her.
Du Zhixu was naturally no exception. He picked out the largest salt and pepper shrimps, Du Zhihuan's favorite, and gave them to her.
Du Zhihuan looked at the mountain of food in front of her, and her heart felt as sweet as honey.
Since Song Yu returned home, the four of them had never had such a hearty meal.
"Dad, Mom, Third Brother, you guys should eat quickly too. It's getting cold today, and if the food gets cold quickly, your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
Du Henian was relieved to hear this, "Haha... No, Daddy's stomach is made of iron."
"Then you have to eat hot food, not cold food."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say."
"Hanhan." Du Zhixu asked, "When will Grandmother and Sister Yu come back?"
"Sister has classes tomorrow afternoon and will be back at noon."
Du Henian asked, "Is tomorrow the day Sister Yu is going back to live at the Jiang family?"
Du Zhixu: "That's right. Normally, we stay at the Jiang family for three days, the 15th, 16th, and 17th. Now, it will be postponed for three days."
Du Henian frowned, "It's not a good idea for Sister Yu to always go to the Jiang family. She should stay at home."
Du Zhixu said: "Song Mingen is her adoptive father. If my sister can't recognize her biological parents, then she doesn't want them..."
Du Zhixu paused, sizing up Du Henian's expression, and continued, "Since Dad doesn't want Sister Yu to always go to the Jiang family, let Uncle Song and Aunt Song move in. Zhuohua Courtyard is big enough for everyone."
Du Henian's face froze. "Yu Jie'er is a filial child. She should run around both places."
He doesn't want to support Song Mingen!
Although I am not short of money.
Du Zhixu curled his lips when he saw this, knowing that his father was unwilling.
He didn't want to do it either. With Uncle Song coming, he felt the pressure of having another father.
On the other side, after Song Yu had dinner, he and Mu Chuqing walked the cat in the yard and then returned to their respective rooms.
After washing up, Song Yu washed and dried the ice cream, then got into bed with it.
Bai Lan lit the incense burner and placed it on the bedside.
"Lan'er, take it farther away and put it on the windowsill. You have to get up early tomorrow and can't sleep too deeply."
"Oh, okay."
Bai Lan put it away and turned around to see Song Yu talking to himself again in front of the small ice cream.
"Miss, the sachets you embroidered for Prince Mu and Princess Qingyang were lotus flowers, while the others were embroidered with peonies. Why do you treat them differently?"
"The Mu family has a lotus pond, and they will definitely like it. As for the peony, which symbolizes wealth and prosperity, it was given to Grandmother, Princess Rong, and her son. Madam Mu must have been right."
Bai Lan was puzzled. "Madam Mu is also a member of the Mu family. She should also send lotus flowers."
Song Yu: ... "Alas, I'm running out of needlework. It's getting late. Go to bed."
Bai Lan didn't move. She looked at Song Yu without blinking, then reached out and touched the little snow-capped girl's head. "Miss, are you a little fond of Prince Mu?"
Meow~Meow~Meow~
A few heart-wrenching meows from the little ice cream were heard in the room, and then there was silence all night until dawn.
The three families got up early and went to the Huguo Temple to burn incense before setting off back to the city.
At this time, Song Mingzhu's whole body felt weak, but her mind became clear.
"Mother." Wu Han saw Song Mingzhu wake up and hurried forward with the medicine. He spoke carefully, "Drink the medicine first, then... have breakfast."
"Qiuyue."
Qiuyue stepped forward, took the medicine from Wu Han's hand and fed it to Song Mingzhu.
Song Mingzhu drank the medicine and took a moment to calm down. "I still don't know if Rui Ge'er's case has been resolved. Go to Xiangyun Road and find out. Don't tell them about my current condition."
Qiuyue then remembered that the lady had suffered such a great crime, but the Song family still didn't know about it.
"Okay ma'am, I'll be there soon."
"Mom, let me feed you some porridge. I cooked it myself. Come and try it." Wu Han handed the porridge to Song Mingzhu's mouth with full of anticipation and caution.
"I can do it myself. I'm not paralyzed." Song Mingzhu still spoke aggressively to Wu Han.
Wu Han felt relieved when he saw that Song Mingzhu did not drive him away. After Song Mingzhu finished her porridge, Wu Han took the bowl and handed her a handkerchief.
Song Mingzhu lay down, turning sideways with her back to Wu Han. "Go away, I'm going to sleep."
This lady?
You don’t even call yourself a mother in front of him?
He broke his mother's heart.
Wu Han knelt down and said, "Mother, I truly know I was wrong. I harmed you for the sake of fame and wealth. I am unfilial..."
"Shut up! Aunt You, get two people to take him out. He's too noisy."
"Mom, I won't say anything more. I don't want to go out."
He has to stay with his mother. What if the poison takes effect?
That day, Chen Chunhua returned home and planned to visit Song Mingzhu the next day. However, she slept until noon the next day and forgot about it.
Seeing Qiuyue coming to the door, he realized something was wrong, "Qiuyue, why are you here? Is Zhuzhu okay?"
Qiuyue opened her mouth and wanted to tell Song Mingzhu what had happened, but she held the words back.
"Madam asked me to come and ask if Master Rui's affairs are going smoothly?"
Chen Chunhua said with a bitter face, "Don't mention it, it's so embarrassing. Rui Ge'er can't become the son-in-law of King Rui, but Huanhuan has a way to let Rui Ge stay in Beijing as an official. I will help him deal with it. Let Zhuzhu rest assured that she doesn't have to worry about Rui Ge's affairs."
"Mother," Cui hurried over. "Brother Rui's marriage hasn't been arranged yet. Qiuyue, go back and tell your wife to look for Huanhuan again and ask if she has any other good sisters who are princesses, or any girls from noble or marquisate families."
Cui has seen the world during her time in Beijing.
If I can't marry a princess, at least a girl from a duke's family can, right?
Qiuyue was furious when she saw Cui's smiling face. Her madam was almost dying, and she still wanted her to ask Du Zhihuan for help!
Holding back her anger, she said calmly, "Madam Song, it's not easy for my wife to see the second young lady of the Du family. The old lady just said that my wife doesn't need to worry about it, so let's put this matter aside for now."
Cui frowned, her face showing displeasure. "Although Huanhuan has a way to let Ruige'er stay in Beijing as an official, we can only take root in the capital if we find a good in-law. If Ruige'er is well, he will naturally support Huanhuan. Go back and talk to your wife in detail and ask her to make arrangements as soon as possible."
Qiuyue took a deep breath and looked at Chen Chunhua, "Old Madam, my wife never recovered from the cold she caught last time. She has become thinner, as you can see. She is still not well now and has become even thinner."
"What?" A familiar feeling of panic instantly swept over Chen Chunhua. "Why hasn't Zhuzhu recovered yet? Isn't it just a minor cold? What's wrong with Zhuzhu?"
"...Madam, this... is hard to say. You should go see my wife."
Chen Chunhua became even more panicked after hearing this. Could it be some serious and incurable disease?
Thinking of this, he hurried to the Song Mansion.
Nothing must happen to her Zhuzhu!
