Chapter 54: The Mantis Catches the Cicada, Waiting for the Oriole Behind
"Brother, it's all my fault. I blame myself for not holding on. Otherwise, you wouldn't have fallen into the deep pool."
Song Yu's eyes were red and she was about to cry, and she spoke in a very self-blaming tone.
"I was too playful. If I hadn't gone fishing, my brother wouldn't have fallen into the deep pool..."
"Sister Yu." Jiang Yunwan quickly pulled Song Yu into her arms. This acting was a bit too much.
"Your eldest brother dotes on you the most, so he won't blame you, right, Rui brother?"
"My sister is none of your business. It's my big brother who didn't pay attention. Look quickly."
Song Rui got up from the recliner and said, "I'm fine."
"Hey, Rui brother, lie down quickly." Chen Chunhua was so frightened that her heart was trembling. She glared at Song Yu angrily, "Don't get up yet. Drink the ginger water first."
"Brother, I'm relieved that you're okay." Song Yu ignored Chen Chunhua and lay in Jiang Yunwan's arms looking at Song Rui.
Little guy!
If she was really plotted against by Song Rui, then her rebirth would be in vain.
Song Yu was safe and sound, which really made Song Rui depressed.
Why did he fall in by himself?
Just a little bit.
Looking at Song Yu at this moment, he looked weak, powerless, sad and self-blaming.
The scene where Song Yu desperately grabbed him just now appeared in his mind, and he felt a little guilty.
Actually, this sister is pretty good.
However, this feeling of guilt did not last long and disappeared.
Or closer to my cousin who is related to me by blood.
After this incident, Song Rui's subsequent itinerary became much calmer.
If Song Yu's life wasn't taken, it would be a huge loss if he was sacrificed.
"Miss, this is the second time Master Rui has done this. You are his sister, why would he do this?"
Bai Lan couldn't figure it out, so she crossed her arms over her chest, pouted, and felt extremely depressed!
She could see clearly in the deep pool that it was Song Rui who wanted to hit her young lady.
After the last incident with the young master of the Chen family, she couldn't believe that Song Rui didn't mean it this time.
Song Yu glanced at the receding scenery outside the car window and said calmly, "We're almost halfway up the mountain, and the clouds are disappearing. We're not far from the truth."
In another carriage, Song Mingen still had a gloomy face.
He couldn't understand why he could treat Sister Yu like his own daughter?
Why can’t Chen Chunhua do it?
Since they brought Sister Yu home to raise her with him and his wife, why can't they treat her like their own granddaughter?
"Ming En, we've gone so far, why are you still so depressed?"
"Wanwan, I'm a little sleepy. I want to sleep in your arms."
"Then lie down."
Song Mingen seemed really tired and fell asleep with his head resting on Jiang Yunwan's legs.
Jiang Yunwan lowered her head and looked at her husband, thinking about how hard he had worked over the years.
When they arrive in the capital, he won't have to do anything and she will support him.
If I could give him another son.
He arrived at Yunyin halfway up the mountain an hour earlier than in his previous life.
Song Mingen did not stop the carriage for the time being, and let the team continue to move forward to Xuancheng Station to rest.
"Ming En, please stay here for the night. My waist can't hold on any longer."
"Mom, if we go another hundred or eighty miles, we will reach Xuancheng Posthouse. It's a government posthouse and will be safer."
"Sir, look at what you said. Although our Banshan Yunyin is not an official inn, it is a legitimate inn registered with the government, not a black shop."
Shopkeeper Li and four strong men came running over with shining eyes.
It’s obvious that he’s a rich guy, so we can’t let him get away.
Song Yu and Bai Lan quickly put on their veils and hats.
Asi also hurriedly put on his dust mask.
Luckily the color isn't black.
"It's not a shady shop?" Song Mingen sneered, "All shady shops claim they're not shady shops."
"Sir, if our shop was a scam, it would have been shut down by the Xuancheng government long ago. We can't interfere with where you choose to stay, but it was already dark when you arrived at the Xuancheng Post Station, and the roads were difficult to walk on after dark. Our prices here are fair, and the food is delicious. I guarantee you'll get great value for your money."
"Ming En, please stay here. Mom can't walk anymore."
Chen Chunhua was helped out of the car by Nanny Wen and Cui Liu. She pinched her waist and said, "With so many of us here, are we still afraid of a shady shop?"
Shopkeeper Li forced a smile, "Old Madam, this is not a shady shop."
"It's not a shady place? Then tell me how much is the best room here per night?"
"Yeah, how much per night?"
Zhang Feng stepped forward holding a sword, and Li Si and others also held their swords across their chests.
Seeing this scene, Shopkeeper Li stretched out three fingers.
"Um?"
Zhang Feng frowned.
Shopkeeper Li smiled and bent another finger: "Twenty taels! The middle room...five taels, the lower room two taels, and the large bunk bed is free."
Chen Chunhua looked at Song Mingen and said, "Mingen, please stay here. The price is reasonable."
Song Mingen stared at Manager Li without saying a word.
Shopkeeper Li gritted his teeth and said, "We'll also provide a free meal: two large white flour steamed buns with a plate of pickled vegetables, and a bowl of egg drop soup. Sir, do you think we are conscientious enough?"
Song Mingen smiled and said, "Since the shopkeeper is so generous, then we will stay here."
Song Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. If she didn't stay here and went to Xuancheng, she would have to make new arrangements.
Song Mingzhu glanced at Zhang Yuan, then helped Chen Chunhua into the Yunyin Inn halfway up the mountain.
Just like in the previous life, I chose a room on the third floor.
Song Yu lives next door to Song Mingen and his wife.
Chen Chunhua and her family moved into the upper room opposite one after another.
"Ming'en, Minglang, you're all tired from the journey. Go back to your room and have a good rest. When it's time for dinner, come to my room for dinner."
"Okay, mother."
After responding, Song Mingen turned around and took Jiang Yunwan and Song Yu and walked towards the upper room opposite.
"Dad, I'm going back to my own room."
"Sister Yu." Jiang Yunwan grabbed her and said, "Let Bai Lan clean up first. You come and help mother apply the scar cream first, then you can go back."
"Oh, okay."
Caiwei and Caiyun looked calm as they did what they were supposed to do, but they were actually feeling very nervous.
The big thing that my wife mentioned is going to happen tonight.
Although I was prepared, I was still afraid.
Hopefully that won't happen.
Song Rui waited until there was no one in the corridor and slipped into Chen Chunhua's room.
Sure enough, my aunt was there too.
Song Rui lowered his voice, "Aunt, is it tonight?"
Song Mingzhu nodded, "Qiuyue."
Qiuyue handed Song Rui three black pills the size of soybeans.
"Take this back and give one to each of your parents. This is the antidote. Take it before dinner..."
"Okay, nephew will go back first."
Song Rui put the antidote in his pocket, gently pushed open the door and looked at the room opposite.
From time to time, the laughter of Jiang Yunwan and Song Yu could be heard from the two half-open side windows.
Song Rui felt relieved and boldly entered the rooms of Song Minglang and Cui only after he found nothing unusual.
Song Rui didn't notice that in the corner of the half-open window, there was a small circle of the same color as the window frame.
Through the small circles, Song Mingen carefully observed the expression on Song Rui's face and even the pores on his face.
Song Mingen retracted the half-arm-long copper tube in his hand.
Song Yu hurriedly took it and studied it curiously.
"Wanwan, does Song Rui also know that I'm not his biological uncle?"
Jiang Yunwan couldn't answer him and looked at Song Yu.
Song Yu said, "In my dream, when Song Mingzhu said that Dad wasn't his biological brother, I saw his face was shocked. Tonight he will know that you are not his biological uncle."
"What about Minglang and Cui?"
"In the dream, Cui and Song Rui had the same reaction. Song Minglang and Song Mingzhu should have known about it a long time ago."
"Ming En, don't think about it anymore. Tonight is the time to finish with them."
Song Mingen nodded, "Wanwan, Sister Yu, are you all ready?"
"It's ready, except you haven't eaten yet. Open your mouth."
Song Mingen opened his mouth obediently, and Jiang Yunwan quickly threw in an antidote pill.
Song Mingen swallowed it without drinking any water.
Jiang Yunwan was surprised, "You just ate it like that, aren't you afraid that what I gave you is..."
Song Mingen raised his eyebrows and said, "My wife gave me good things. The key is that this pill was made by Sister Yu. You two will not harm me."
"Are you so sure?"
Song Mingen held Jiang Yunwan's hand, his eyes burning, "Wanwan..."
"Ahem... Daddy and Mommy, if you have anything to say, please talk quietly. I'm leaving now."
Song Yu ran away.
Hey, mom and dad always can't help showing their love in front of her.
It's easy to teach her bad things.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Feng knocked on the door and entered the room. "Master, Madam, Master Can has sent a message. Everything is ready."
"Okay!" Song Mingen pursed his lips, his eyes flashing with a fierce look, "Tonight, the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind!"
