Chapter 373 The child was raised astray by his daughter-in-law
"Doctor Bai, when will Sister Yu wake up?"
Bai Luoheng said respectfully to Mu Chuqing, "Sister Yu is overly sad and hasn't had enough rest. Her body has been depleted of energy. Let her have a good sleep tonight at the earliest, or tomorrow morning at the latest. She can have a good meal when she wakes up tomorrow."
Bai Luoheng glanced at Song Yu who was pretending to be asleep and left the room.
Mu Chuqing walked to the bedside, tucked the corner of the quilt for Song Yu, and then sat down to guard the bed.
Cheng Qingmeng blinked at Jiang Shiyun. Would the princess want to wait until dark?
Jiang Shiyun frowned. This wouldn't do. Her uncle couldn't keep lying in the coffin and have to be carried back.
"Sister Princess, my cousin needs to rest now, let's all go out."
Mu Chuqing originally came to look after her brother's sister Yu, but since Yu would not wake up until night, she could not stay until night. "Okay, let's go out first, Bai Lan, take good care of your young lady."
"Okay, my lady."
Not long after Mu Chuqing left the room, Song Yu opened his eyes and slowly sat up.
"Lan'er, has the princess gone far?"
Bai Lan looked at him and said, "Out of the yard, my lady, you are too immersed in the role. Come and drink some water and make up for the tears you have cried."
"I'm really thirsty." After Song Yu drank several cups of tea, Wen Shu and Wen Nuo, dressed as gardeners with pockmarks on their faces, entered the room.
Wen Nuo: "Sister, we secretly went to the front yard to check. There are basically no people coming to pay their respects. Only the Mu family is still at the house. After they leave, we will move Uncle Song back. It's so cold today and I'm really worried that Uncle Song will freeze to death. Oh no, he will catch a cold!"
"Don't worry, mother dressed Daddy warmly, but we do have to carry Daddy back. Now we just have to wait for Song Mingzhu to leave. By the way, cousin, did you let Old Madam Cheng see you?"
"No!" Wen Shu said, "I was in the dark, and with the way I was dressed, no one who came to pay their respects today could tell what I looked like. But Xiao Nuo was almost seen by Old Madam Cheng."
Song Yu looked at Wen Nuo.
Wen Nuo scratched his head and said, "Don't worry, sister. She didn't see it and won't disrupt Aunt Shushu's arrangements. It's just that Du Zhihuan didn't come."
"How could she possibly come here to pay her respects? Lan'er, who's going to be the one keeping watch today?"
"It's Sister Ningshuang. If Du Zhihuan wants to do something bad or hook up with Prince Xiao, today is definitely a good opportunity."
Song Yu: "Not necessarily. Did Xiao Nuo see Prince Xiao leave?"
Wen Nuo shook his head: "He and Prince Mu went to see Grandpa Jiang."
"Cousin, you..." Wen Shu looked at Song Yu and hesitated to speak.
Song Yu was a little surprised by this: "If you have anything to say, just say it. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We are all family."
Wen Shu pondered for a moment and said, "You're worried that Du Zhihuan will meet with Prince Xiao in private, so this marriage is off the table, right? It's very time-consuming to send someone to keep an eye on her. You'll have one less person protecting you every day. What if she ever runs into danger?"
Song Yu felt warm in her heart. Her cousin cared about her. "Thank you for your concern, cousin. I just need to keep an eye on her every move so that I don't get into danger. Once I'm sure she's really well behaved and won't try to harm me, I'll consider whether to keep an eye on her or not."
Wen Shudao asked, "Did you foresee in your dream that Du Zhihuan was going to harm you?"
She had never met Du Zhihuan in her previous life. "If I hadn't had the prophetic dream, what do you think would have happened to you and me?"
Hearing this, Wen Shu's expression gradually became frightened, and then became solemn.
"Cousin, I get it. Without the prophetic dream, I would have been dead by now, and Mother would have given birth prematurely. My brother would have been swapped, and Mother would have ended up spitting blood and dying of anger. And Du Zhihuan usurped your identity, and no one knew she would eventually marry Prince Xiao as his princess. She's been blessed with smooth sailing and pampered for over a decade, but now that you've returned and reduced her to her original form, she has no chance of becoming a princess. How could she, Wu Lingheng's daughter, accept this?"
Song Yu smiled and said, "Cousin, you are so smart and you understand everything immediately. I hope the Du family's education can make her behave herself. Then she will live a good life."
Mu Jingxing and Xiao Chengqian comforted Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang and then left the Orchid Garden together.
"Brother, cousin!"
Mu Chu and Qing Chao waved to each other.
Mu Jingxing opened his mouth to inquire about Song Yu's condition, but Xiao Chengqian was one step faster than him and asked anxiously, "Cousin, is Sister Yu feeling better?
Mu Chuqing felt complicated when she saw Xiao Chengqian's worried look on his face. It seemed that her cousin really liked Sister Yu.
Wouldn't it be a bit immoral for her to do something bad and ruin the engagement?
"Sister Yu is fine, she's just too sad. She just needs to rest well. We can't help the Jiang family right now. Everyone in the Jiang family needs to calm down. Let's go back to our respective homes first."
Xiao Chengqian pulled Mu Jingxing away and said, "Let's go. We'll come back tomorrow."
Mu Jingxing turned around and looked at Mu Chuqing: "Where's our father?"
"Dad returned to the yamen half a quarter of an hour ago."
Mu Jingxing frowned. Why did Dad leave so quickly? Couldn’t he stay a little longer?
"Why don't you leave?"
"Oh, go now!"
"Ning'er, our grandson is out."
Gu Yining hurriedly lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked over, his eyes full of love.
The eldest grandson is so handsome, and the real person is more vivid than the portrait.
When Gu Yining's gaze fell on the Mu brothers and sisters, a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Whose son is that? He's so handsome that he's even more handsome than our son."
Xiao Yanxu smiled and said, "At first glance, he's Zhenshu's son. That tall guy looks so much like Zhenshu."
When Gu Yining looked up again, the Mu brothers and sisters had already boarded the carriage.
Gu Yining hurriedly ordered Lu An to drive and catch up with Xiao Chengqian's carriage, then turned around and looked at Xiao Yanxu's face carefully.
Seeing Gu Yining looking at him with a half-smile, Xiao Yanxu felt frightened. He subconsciously took out a small bronze mirror and looked at himself. "Ning'er, there's no dirt on my face. It's clean and fair. Although I'm old, I'm still elegant and handsome."
"Ha..." Gu Yining raised her hand to cover her lips and smiled. "I was thinking that if our grandson gets married, not only must she have good character, but she must also be good-looking. Only in this way can our great-grandson be more outstanding. When Yi'er got married, he only focused on her character and ignored her appearance. Although her appearance was also good, eh, that's not right. The children must be in love with each other, and appearance is secondary."
Xiao Yanxu patted her shoulder gently. "Don't worry. Su Beiqing is already quite good-looking. Ah Xiao also said that Yu girl is even more beautiful than Su Beiqing and prettier than Huanhuan. Our little great-grandson will definitely be the most outstanding in the future. And, Yu girl is not only skilled in medicine, but also in making pastries. She knows everything Jiang Yunwan can do."
At this time, Tian Xiao walked over from outside the window and whispered, "Miss Song is also a very good painter. The double-sided painting she gave to Old Madam Du at her birthday banquet even glowed, far surpassing Du Zhihuan's double-sided embroidery. The young prince and princess both like Miss Song very much. I have observed secretly that the prince likes Miss Song very much, and Miss Song also likes the prince."
Gu Yining frowned slightly. Has her son fallen in love with Song Yu so quickly?
Since she didn't educate the child herself, the child was raised astray by her daughter-in-law?
You're not going to have an eye on the pot while eating from the bowl, are you?
The dream reappeared in Gu Yining's mind.
"Ah Xiao, since Song Yu got the engagement back, have you discovered that the Crown Prince has been meeting Huanhuan in private?"
