Chapter 325 The Day Before Recovery
Nine-story building
"Sister Yu, you must be hungry. Come sit down and try this. This is made by our new chef. He has cuisines from both the south and north of the Yangtze River. The taste is comparable to that of the imperial chef."
Song Yu saw that they were all her favorite Jiangnan dishes, beautifully presented. After tasting a few, she praised them repeatedly, saying, "They're delicious. No wonder Jiuchonglou is so popular. So many dignitaries must have eaten here and wanted to come back again, just like me."
Mu Chuqing smiled and said, "You are different from them. You can come anytime. My brother and I will treat you to a meal. They have to make reservations in advance and spend a lot of money."
Song Yu said, "How can I be so polite and let you guys spend all the money? I'll share some of my specialties in making pastries with you. It's a good opportunity for Jiuchonglou to earn some extra income."
"Miss Song," Mu Jingxing quickly interrupted, "How can you share your specialty cakes? Keep them for yourself and your family. If you sell them to others, they won't taste that unique."
Mu Jingxing poked Mu Chuqing's arm, and Mu Chuqing hurriedly said, "My eldest brother is right. They are all available on the market, but the taste is bland. If you like, you can make it and send it to my house. My grandmother still misses it."
"Okay, I'll send one over tomorrow."
Mu Chuqing casually said, "Are you really not going back to the Du family?"
Song Yu was slightly stunned. It is true that good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.
"I'm living a good life now. I don't need to go back to the Du family. I have my grandmother."
Mu Chuqing glanced at Mu Jingxing and said, "Since you don't want to be a daughter of the Du family, then your engagement with Master Xiao is no longer valid, right?"
Bai Lan, who was standing by, glanced at Mu Jingxing's expression upon hearing this, and saw that he looked up at his young lady with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Song Yu looked at the brother and sister, and gazed at Mu Jingxing's face for a moment longer. "My grandmother naturally wants me to marry into Prince Rong's mansion. With her here, the engagement is naturally valid. Now we just have to wait for the prince's grandmother to come back and discuss it again."
Mu Chuqing picked up the dish and glanced at Mu Jingxing calmly.
Look.
Just say that the engagement must be valid.
"So do you really like fucking your cousin now?"
Mu Jingxing's heart instantly rose to his throat.
Song Yu picked up a dish and tasted it carefully, but he was roaring in his heart.
Ah... Sister Princess, can I ask this?
Your elder brother is sitting next to you!
"Brother Crown Prince has a distinguished temperament, as gentle as jade, and always speaks softly. I noticed that when he came to the Palace Academy, the other noble ladies would look at him a few more times, and I was no exception..."
After the meal, Mu Chuqing sent the people away and returned.
Mu Jingxing leaned against the window and looked down with the Qianli bronze mirror.
"Hey, stop looking. Everyone's gone. Although Sister Yu didn't say it explicitly, the marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. It doesn't matter whether they like each other or not. After all, my cousin has a bright future and will be a prince in the future, and Sister Yu will be a prince's consort in the future."
Mu Jingxing put down the Thousand Miles Bronze Mirror and sat down like an old monk in meditation, with his brows lowered and not saying a word.
Seeing this, Mu Chuqing said helplessly: "I asked you before we officially recognized each other, but now you don't have to think about it. I'm going back to the mansion to rest."
After Mu Chuqing left, Xiao Fei quickly closed the door and whispered, "Prince, Miss Song may not particularly like Prince Xiao yet, but as time goes by and they get to know each other more often, Miss Song will definitely like him. You still have a chance now, one and only chance. While the two of you are still in a relationship, you must confess your feelings to Miss Song immediately, and she will definitely choose you. If the Concubine Dowager returns and the two families finalize the marriage, it will be too late."
On the way back home, Bai Lan said, "So much was said at the dinner today. It was because Prince Mu invited you to dinner in the name of Princess Qingyang just to meet you. Princess Qingyang asked you if you like Prince Xiao. I saw that Prince Mu looked nervous. He must want to hear you say that you don't like Prince Xiao."
"No way! I saw that he looked normal and had no messy thoughts. Don't let your imagination run wild. You're not a worm in his stomach."
Song Yu returned to the Jiang Mansion and first went to the main courtyard to check on Old Madam Jiang's eyes, and then went to the Bamboo Garden to meet Du Ye.
"Yujie'er, your adoptive father has had this rash on his face for so long, why hasn't it gone away yet? Grandma told me last time that it recurs every year. Is it a chronic disease that can't be cured? Also, he seems listless and listless. Your adoptive mother says he's suffering from a lack of energy and blood, but I don't think that's the case. Could you please take a closer look? Are there other symptoms you haven't noticed?"
His father is pretending, what disease is there?
"Don't worry, Grandma. Daddy will be fine. I'll go check on him right away."
After Song Yu left, Du Ye asked Madam Qiao, "Did you see clearly? Was the rash on Song Mingen's face painted?"
Aunt Qiao said, "I went to deliver the refreshing tea and took a closer look at Song Mingen. I smelled the scent of lip balm, but before I could take a closer look, Jiang Yunwan blocked my view and sent me away."
Du Ye thought for a moment, "Sister Yu's medical skills should have cured him long ago. It should be a painting. Could it be that he has an extraordinary background?"
"Perhaps. Although I can't see his face clearly, he has a good aura. His biological parents should be from the capital. He is so old, so his parents should be around the same age as my wife."
Du Ye searched her mind for a long time, "I've never heard of anyone of my generation losing a child?"
"There's definitely no news. It must be like the eldest daughter, who was changed right after she was born."
Du Ye said, "There will come a time when he will reveal his true appearance. I have seen all the powerful and noble people of the same generation in the capital. Maybe I have seen his biological father and mother, unless he is not the child of a powerful and noble family."

"Dad, is there any news about Grandpa Lu?"
"Not yet. Daddy will tell you as soon as he finds your Grandpa Lu. Did the Emperor urge you?"
Song Yu shook his head. "The Emperor didn't urge me. I sensed he was a little disappointed. I think the Emperor really hopes that the Empress will get better. Once she wakes up, she'll know the truth of what happened."
Song Mingen said, "I asked your grandfather. Over thirty years ago, Marquis Changsheng rebelled. During his exile, he faked his own death and fled back to the capital to assassinate members of the royal family. Unfortunately, he ran into the Empress and her five-year-old son returning to her parents' home. Marquis Changsheng killed the child in front of the Empress, and the Empress has been completely mad ever since..."
Song Yu was shocked, "Marquis Changsheng is definitely not dead."
"Dead. Your grandfather said the emperor himself did it. His body was hung at the city gate for three days and three nights."
Song Yu rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment, "Then the Marquis of Changsheng must have said something to the Empress that provoked her, otherwise she wouldn't have said that Dayuan was going to be destroyed."
Song Mingen said: "This is not something we should worry about. We should worry about what happens the day after tomorrow."
To be honest, Song Mingen was a little nervous because his mother-in-law was about to see him.
Will a son-in-law with rashes all over his face scare his mother-in-law?
The afternoon before taking the medicine patch, Du Henian forcibly took Du Ye away.
"I'm not going back! Tomorrow is the day when Shulan regains her sight."
Du Henian: "Tomorrow the Jiang family will gather for a family dinner. After all, you are an outsider. They are all having a great time, so we should not get involved. Come back the day after tomorrow to congratulate Old Madam Jiang."
"I won't go back! Shulan said she wanted to see me first, so what's the big deal if I suddenly leave?"
