Chapter 315 Do you want to lose me, your biological daughter?
"Zhi Xu, don't worry about this."
"Grandmother, now that I know this, I have to ask. I remember my mother was poisoned by witchcraft at the border. Could it be that someone is trying to manipulate Madam Song into doing something shameful?"
Du Ye said, "It's possible, but she's been poisoned for a while now and won't live for many days. Even if she wants to harm others, she can't. Bei Qing, how are your investigations going? Has there been any abnormality in the Song family these days?"
Su Beiqing looked at the father and son across from her and said, "We haven't discovered anything yet. The people below are still investigating. If there's anything unusual, it's the last time Song Mingzhu asked me to go to the Nine-Storied Tower to discuss Huanhuan's marriage."
Du Ye asked, "What was her condition at that time?"
"He's in good spirits, with a rosy complexion, and no signs of poisoning. Perhaps he was poisoned after that. Oh, people down there heard that Song Mingzhu opened a courtyard in Chaonan Alley to build a private school for her son, who will be a teacher. But during this period, Song Mingzhu confined Wu Han to his home."
Du Henian said, "It seems that Song Mingzhu was poisoned around this time. I think confining Wu Han was to protect him..."
"Old lady." At this time, Nanny Qiao led Yunyan in hurriedly.
Su Beiqing stood up suddenly, "Why did you come back alone? Where's Huanhuan?"
"The eldest lady and the second lady went to the Song Mansion together to see Madam Song."
"What?" The Du family was all shocked.
"How could Sister Yu go to the Song Mansion? Don't try to fool me." Du Yeshi didn't believe that Sister Yu would go to save Song Mingzhu.
"It was the Second Miss who begged the Eldest Miss, and the Eldest Miss forced the Second Miss to leave the Du Mansion and become the Eldest Miss of the Song Family again, and only then did she come to the rescue."
"Hanhuan agreed?" Du Zhixu found it hard to accept.
"It was the Third Young Master. The young lady agreed. The young lady had no choice. After all, Madam Song was her biological mother. If she wanted to repay her gratitude, she had to agree to the eldest young lady's conditions."
"Hanhuan is confused. Madam Song doesn't..."
"Beiqing," Du Ye interrupted hastily. "Song Mingzhu is her biological mother. Going to Song Yu to save her is a way of repaying her kindness. You don't think Huanhuan is an ungrateful child, do you?"
"But she wants to go back to the Song family." Su Beiqing suddenly felt like she had lost a daughter, and her mood was mixed. "We raised her for so many years, and she said she would go back to the Song Mansion without even asking us what we thought."
"Yeah, how could Huanhuan just leave like that without even saying goodbye? I'm going to ask her right now, does she consider us family?"
Du Zhixu turned around and walked out, and Su Beiqing hurriedly followed him out.
"Stop right there!"
Du Ye shouted angrily, and Du Henian stopped turning around.
The mother and son outside the house also stopped.
"Since she wants to leave, let her go back to the Song family."
"Mom, do you know what you are saying? Can Huanhuan go back to the Song family? Sister Yu can't go to save her!" After Su Beiqing said that, she pulled Du Zhixu and strode out of Chaohui Courtyard.
"Come back here!"
Du Ye was so angry that she hit Du Henian with her crutch.
"Ouch, Mom, it hurts. Stop hitting me. I'm your own son." Du Henian ran around the main room with his head in his hands.
Nanny Qiao quickly sent everyone else out of the yard.
Du Ye stopped only after she had vented her anger enough, and Nanny Qiao handed her some cold tea to calm her down.
"Why did I end up with this pair of confused sons and daughters-in-law like you? If I had a stroke, it was because you two were so angry about me."
Du Henian quickly comforted her, "Mom, calm down. Sister Yu said you can't get angry."
"I get angry when you open your mouth!" Du Ye drank another cup of herbal tea.
"Mom, Song Mingzhu is most likely not Huanhuan's biological mother now. If she returns to the Song family, wouldn't that mean she's being filial to someone she's not related to by blood? If we let Huanhuan go back, wouldn't that mean she's just pushing herself into a fire pit?"
Du Ye took a deep breath and said, "This is what she promised Sister Yu herself. She must be responsible for what she said!"
Du Henian was anxious. Something suddenly occurred to him. He said, "Are you willing to watch Huanhuan go back, watch her be kept in the dark, and then she will marry anyone she wants? Beiqing is still busy with the task you instructed her to do. Choosing a suitable young man for her from the local aristocratic family is also for the future of our Du family. Don't you agree, mother?"
Madam Du Ye glared at her. "Song Mingzhu, we are just speculating. Since Huanhuan has agreed to Sister Yu's conditions, she can no longer live in the mansion. We just need to keep this a secret."
Su Beiqing was worried that she would miss the trip, so she drove herself to the Song Mansion as quickly as possible.
Zhang Yuanyuan saw Du Zhihuan's carriage from afar and hurriedly arranged for someone to go to the inner courtyard to notify her.
"Madam, Du Zhihuan is here."
Song Mingzhu was a little surprised, "So early?"
Qiuyue said, "I think you came here right after school because of your condition. I'll have dinner delivered to the flower hall next door."
As Qiuyue walked out of the room, she saw Du Zhihuan pulling Song Yu into the yard.
Qiuyue was dumbfounded. Was she dazzled? Du Zhihuan actually brought Song Yu here?
Du Zhihuan completely ignored the stunned Qiuyue and pulled Song Yu into Song Mingzhu's bedroom.
"Mom, I brought my sister here to see you. With my sister's help, you will definitely get better slowly."
Song Mingzhu couldn't believe it. How could Song Yu come to see her?
"Sister Yu." Chen Chunhua was so moved that tears streamed down her face. "Grandma knew you were a kind child. You came to see Zhuzhu. It must have been Ming'en who asked you to come. I knew he still had me, his mother, and Zhuzhu in his heart..."
"You are not my grandmother." Song Yu interrupted her impatiently, his tone cold, "I have my own grandmother, Madam Song, please show your identity! Don't claim relatives casually."
Chen Chunhua had a sullen face and said awkwardly, "Miss Du, I have overstepped my bounds."
Song Yu glanced at Song Mingzhu on the bed. "You have to understand, I'm not here because of my father. He doesn't know anything about it. I can come here because you should thank Du Zhihuan. It was she who gave up her status as the daughter of the Du family and returned to the Song Mansion to repay Song Mingzhu's kindness. That's why I came here to see you."
Chen Chunhua looked at Du Zhihuan in disbelief. Could she really give up the wealthy life in the Marquis' Mansion?
Or was she mistaken?
She didn't follow the Wu family, so good bamboo shoots came out of the bad bamboo?
Song Mingzhu couldn't calm down. Du Zhihuan actually gave up her identity as the daughter of a marquis in order to save her!
"Huanhuan..." Song Mingzhu opened her mouth, her mind was blank, and she didn't know what to say.
"Sister." Du Zhihuan hurriedly pulled Song Yu forward, "Quickly, check on my mother. Is there any way to save her?"
Just as Song Yu reached out to touch Song Mingzhu's wrist, a gust of wind came from behind her, and she fell into a warm and familiar embrace, which quickly moved her to the door.
"Sister Yu, you can't treat her. If it weren't for Song Mingzhu, how could we have been separated for thirteen years?"
"My Zhuzhu never intended to harm Sister Yu's life. Please, Madam Hou," Chen Chunhua said as she knelt down. "Since Sister Yu is here, please be kind and let Sister Yu see my Zhuzhu."
"Hmph, impossible!" Du Zhixu rushed in. "Song Mingzhu never intended to kill my sister, but what did she do to prevent her from coming to Beijing to meet us? You want my sister to save your daughter? Dream on!"
"Master Du San." Song Minglang rushed over after hearing the news. "Do you want to save my sister, or do you want to hear what Sister Yu has to say?"
Su Beiqing said, "Sister Yu, whether to save her or not is not up to you alone. It's a matter for our entire Du family. If we don't agree, we'll leave now."
Su Beiqing pulled Song Yu out and held Du Zhihuan with her other hand.
"Mother." Song Yu pulled her hand away. "It was my sister who begged me to come and take a look at Madam Song. I wouldn't have come at first, but my sister said she wanted to repay Madam Song for her kindness and give up her status as the daughter of a marquis. That's why I came. I promised my sister that I must take a closer look at Madam Song. I don't know if there's any way I can help her with that yet."
Su Beiqing: "This doesn't count. How could you two kids act on your own without consulting us?"
"How can it not count?" Song Yu took out the document and unfolded it for Su Beiqing to see. "It's clearly written in black and white. My sister has signed and sealed it, so I must see Madam Song."
Su Beiqing reached out to take it, but Song Yu took it away in time and looked at her solemnly, "Mother, do you not agree with me treating Madam Song, or do you not agree with Du Zhihuan leaving the Du Mansion?"
Du Zhihuan didn't want to embarrass Su Beiqing, so she quickly said, "Don't worry, mother. You are my adoptive mother. I will be filial to you in the future. I will never forget your kindness in raising me. You were my family before and will always be my family. My biological mother is seriously ill now. All I can do for her is hope that you can help take care of her and spend more time with her in the future."
Song Mingzhu felt complicated watching this scene. Huanhuan was truly filial to her.
But she is no longer her biological mother.
Hey, why isn’t Huanhuan her daughter?
"Hanhuan, do you know..."
Su Beiqing wanted to tell the truth, but if Huanhuan knew that she was not Song Mingzhu's daughter, but the daughter of another woman of Wu Lingheng, would she be upset? "...Do you know what you will lose?"
Du Zhihuan comforted her, "I'm now a third-rank noblewoman. Next year, I'll work harder and try to pass the exam to become a first-rank noblewoman. Don't worry, mother. I'm sure I'll marry into a good family."
Seeing the two of them talking about Huan'er, Song Yu turned and walked towards the big bed.
"Yujie'er." Su Beiqing held her back, "The written agreement between you two is not binding. You need to go back and discuss this with your grandmother before making a decision."
Song Yu felt her breath was flowing and her chest was tight. Her biological mother was so reluctant to let go of Du Zhihuan. "Mother, do you not want to lose Du Zhihuan, or do you want to lose me, your biological daughter?"
