Chapter 519 Song Mingzhu learns that Song Mingen is still alive
The next day, Du Henian and Su Beiqing came to Chaohuiyuan early.
"He Nian, why aren't you attending court at this hour?"
"Ah...it's a small court meeting. I've already asked for leave from the Emperor. You're moving to Prince Rong's mansion, which is such a big deal. As a son, of course I have to take you there."
Du Henian missed Song Yu so much when he came back last night and didn't see her. He had to stay in Prince Rong's mansion for a whole day to see his precious daughter enough.
Du Ye narrowed her eyes. "As soon as you open your mouth, I know what you are planning. Once you get to Prince Rong's mansion, hurry back. Don't even think about targeting Sister Yu. There's not only Song Mingen but also Prince Rong in the mansion."
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll be back as soon as I see Sister Yu. I just didn't see her last night and I've been worried about her."
"Thinking about you? What were you doing earlier?" Du Ye said unhappily, "From the moment Sister Yu came back, you should have made up your mind about what was more important. Now that Sister Yu is listed in the imperial genealogy and is a daughter of the royal family, you should just be her biological parents and stop making a fuss."
"Got it, mother. Let's eat quickly. After we finish eating, hurry over and don't keep Princess Gu waiting for too long."
Three quarters of an hour later, Su Beiqing, Du Henian and Du Zhixu together sent Du Ye to the carriage.
Qiuyue watched the Du family carriage leave before she dared to step forward and took out a tael of silver and handed it to the doorman, "Young man, could you please inform your second daughter that my wife is seriously ill and ask her to go back?"
The doorman naturally knew Qiuyue. He threw the silver back to her and said with a sullen face, "Don't come here again. We don't have a second young lady in the Du Mansion. If you want to find her, go find Master Xiao."
"What are you arguing about?" Du Kang came out.
"Uncle Kang, my wife is seriously ill, so she asked me to come and look for the second young lady."
Du Kang took her far away and whispered, "Your wife is seriously ill, so please send a doctor. Du Zhihuan was never your wife's child. Du Zhihuan murdered our eldest daughter and is no longer a daughter of the Du family. She has been given to Xiao Chengqian as a concubine by the emperor."
Qiuyue was shocked. How did the Du family know about this?
"Du Zhihuan even harmed your eldest daughter, so how could she be given to Prince Xiao as a concubine? Are you going to let Du Zhihuan off so easily?"
Du Kang sneered: "How could my eldest lady let her go? You will know in a few days."
Qiuyue turned and left, pondering Du Kang's words, and then ordered the coachman to catch up with the Du family carriage.
Song Yu had been waiting at the door long ago. Seeing the Du family's carriage approaching, he happily stepped forward and said, "Grandma."
"Hehe... Sister Yu, it's daddy."
Song Yu suddenly stopped and almost fell into Du Henian's arms due to inertia.
Du Henian took her hand and held her up, "Be careful, you haven't gained weight yet, what if Daddy hurts you?"
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Du. I'm fine."
Du Henian felt bitter. Sister Yu really didn't call him dad anymore. "Sister Yu, I..."
"Get out of the way!" Du Ye pushed him away, "You can go back now."
Du Henian grabbed Song Yu's little hand again.
Song Yu frowned and struggled twice but failed to break free, so he had to give up.
Hehe, Sister Yu should still be willing to get close to him.
"Mom, we have to send you to your bed and settle you down before we can leave without worry. If we send you to the gate, won't our colleagues think we are unfilial if they find out?"
Du Henian didn't want to leave in a hurry as his daughter hadn't seen enough, so he decided to wait until lunch was over before leaving.
"No need." Song Mingen came out, "Just send them to the gate, and no one will dare to accuse you of being unfilial."
Du Ye hurriedly greeted him, "I greet the young prince."
Seeing this, Su Beiqing pulled Du Henian and said, "Your Highness, I greet you."
Du Henian had to let go of Song Yu and bowed his head to greet Song Mingen, "Your humble servant greets the young prince."
Hey, this feels really bad!
In the past, Song Mingen had to greet him politely when he met him, but now it’s the other way around.
Song Mingen first helped Du Ye up, and exempted Su Beiqing from the formalities, then he slowly spoke, "Lord Du, please don't be polite. Sister Yu is my daughter, there is no need to be so formal."
Being awkward?
Sister Yu is obviously her daughter!
Du Henian stood up and said with a smile, "My mother has been bothering me for half a month. How can I just leave her at the door and walk away? Even I, the Marquis, would never do such a thing."
Song Mingen smiled back, "Madam Du is Sister Yu's grandmother, and she's also my mother's sister, meaning my aunt. When my aunt comes to live here, it's like she's back home. We're all family, so there's no need to bother her. Don't worry, leave your aunt in my care. I promise to take good care of her. Remember to come early on my birthday banquet, so we can have a good chat then."
Du Henian looked grim but couldn't show it too obviously. "Okay, we'll be the first to arrive that day. We'll definitely have a few drinks then."
Song Mingen looked at Du Henian's face and felt very comfortable. "Okay, it's getting late. You should go back quickly. I won't see you off."
After Song Mingen finished speaking, he pulled Song Yu with one hand and Du Ye with the other into the palace.
Du Henian looked at Song Mingen's hands and his seemingly smug figure, and was so angry that his liver ached.
Xiao Hongye not only wants to snatch his daughter away, but also wants to snatch his mother away from him!
Su Beiqing reached out and pressed his face, "Control your expression. If others see you, they might think you are dissatisfied with the young prince."
Du Henian's ugly expression instantly softened, "How could I?"
"If you don't have any, go back. We'll be able to see Sister Yu again in half a month."
"You're not seeing things?" Song Mingzhu was very excited but couldn't believe it.
Qiuyue reaffirmed, "I'm not mistaken. It's Song Mingen! He's still alive! Luckily, we went straight to the Du Mansion after returning from Huazhuang. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known that Marquis Du and his family would go to Prince Rong's Mansion. We saw them from afar at the door. It's him, alive! Marquis Du and his family even saluted him. Although I didn't hear what they said, it was obvious that he was the son of Prince Rong."
Song Mingzhu took a few deep breaths and drank some cold tea to calm herself down.
"Du Kang said we'll know Du Zhihuan's fate in a few days?"
"Yes, that's what he said."
Combining Chen Chunhua's dream with Song Mingzhu's, she quickly understood, "Prince Xiao's father is fake, not of royal blood. It must have been Song Yu's idea to have Du Zhihuan become Xiao Chengqian's concubine. She and my eldest brother must have known about this beforehand. My eldest brother's appearance at Prince Rong's mansion is enough to prove that they have recognized each other."
Qiuyue said casually, "I never thought that the royal heir could be secretly replaced. The old prince and his wife actually raised a fake child without knowing it, just like Marquis Du and his wife."
Song Mingzhu pondered for a moment, "If they can't see it, how can the Gu family, the Queen Mother in the palace, and the Emperor not see it? This has lasted for thirty-six years. It can only mean one thing: the fake prince looks like the old princess. The one who stole the child can only be a member of the Gu family."
Qiuyue said: "Then Song Mingen may become an official in the court in the future."
"More than that, big brother is very capable."
Song Mingzhu suddenly laughed at herself, "Our Song family really isn't destined to be rich and powerful!"
The eldest brother can bring supreme glory to the entire Song family.
But unfortunately...
"It's fine if you and I know this... By the way, have you seen any changes in my eldest brother's appearance?"
