Chapter 10 The Third Sister Becomes a Widow
In the end, the old lady did not allow Song Yuning to see Madam Wei's body, nor did she allow her to leave the house. She only said that their identities were different now and they should not interfere anymore.
After hearing the news, Song Yuning cried for several days. He fell ill due to crying and it took him another half a month to recover.
After recovering, Song Yuning, whose face was still as pale as paper, went to Changchun Hall to apologize to the old lady.
"Do you know where you went wrong?" The old lady looked at Song Yuning who was kneeling in front of her. She did not ask her to stand up. She just took a sip of tea and then asked as if nothing had happened.
Song Yuning pressed his forehead against the cold ground and replied softly, "Yuning shouldn't have acted like a child and insisted on leaving the house to see... see Wei.
Yuning is now a young lady of the Song family. She shouldn't cry and make a fuss over an unrelated outsider. This is Yuning's fault. She has caused you, Grandmother, great sorrow and grief."
Song Yuning sobbed softly as she spoke, and a few more tears rolled down her cheeks.
Seeing her like this, the old lady was quite satisfied and asked Li Ma to help Song Yuning up: "It's good that you know you are wrong.
From the day you entered the Song Mansion, you no longer have any relationship with Wei, and you shouldn't be the one crying over her death."
"Yes, Yuning knows, and I won't do it again."
Song Yuning sobbed softly as she spoke, her tears soaking her clothes.
Seeing her so sad, the old lady's anger subsided a little, but her face remained serious.
She waved her hand, signaling Li Ma beside her to help Song Yuning up.
"Well, it's good that you know you were wrong." The old lady said slowly.
"From the moment you stepped into the Song Mansion, you have had nothing to do with the Wei family. Her life or death has nothing to do with you, and there is no need for you to cry about it.
Only by cutting off the past can your identity avoid being criticized and a bright future awaits you.
So no matter what you think, you only have one mother, and that is your father's legal wife."
Song Yuning raised his head, looked at the old lady with his red and swollen eyes, and nodded gently, indicating that he understood what the old lady meant.
"Yuning understands. I will never make such a mistake again." She said in a hoarse voice.
The old lady looked at Song Yuning, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.
Ever since Song Yuning came back, she has been observing her openly and secretly. She didn't perform very well, but she was smart and clever.
If it could always be like this in the future, it would be easy to handle.
As soon as the news that Song Yuning had recovered came out, Yuyan and the others came to visit her in the evening.
"When you were ill before, it wasn't that we didn't want to come, but it was Li Ma who didn't allow us to. She said she was afraid that we would disturb your recovery.
Now that you're well, we came to see you. How are you now? "Yuyan looked at Song Yuning's pale face, a hint of sympathy flashing in her eyes.
Song Yuning forced a smile. In order to make the play look realistic, she was exposed to cold wind all night and had a fever for several days.
"I'm fine now. My grandmother said I can rest for two more days and then go back to school."
Yu Wan and Yu Rou also comforted Song Yuning with a few words before leaving one after another.
He had been sick for quite some time, and if he continued to be sick, people would inevitably gossip about him, so Song Yuning rested for two days and then started school again.
After that, the Song Mansion ushered in a brief period of peace.
However, in August, when the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout the capital.
The sixth son of the Zhang family died suddenly.
"How could this happen? Do you know how he died?" After receiving the news, Song Yuning asked Nanny Chen in surprise.
Nanny Chen said, "It's not clear yet. They only said he died at home."
"What about my third sister? How is she?" Thinking of the pale-faced girl, Song Yuning asked with a chill in his heart.
"Third Aunt is fine. I heard that not only is she fine, she's pregnant." Nanny Chen said.
Pregnant? If that's true, it's a good thing. Her abusive husband is dead, and she has a child.
Whether it's a boy or a girl, there is finally hope for the future. It's better than a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old who has just been married for half a year and becomes a widow.
Song Yuning thought that the death of Mr. Zhang Liu was an accident, but there was something wrong with the attitudes of the old lady and Song Hongzhi.
But she has no manpower now, so even if she wants to find out the news, she can't. Fortunately, Yuyan and the others know some of the truth and revealed it to Song Yuning during a chat.
"I heard from my aunt that the death of Mr. Zhang Liu might be related to my third sister." Song Yurou lowered her voice and said to Song Yuning.
"What do you mean?" Song Yuning asked.
Song Yurou smiled twice and said, "It's fine if you want to know, but you also have to embroider a round fan for me, and I want it double-sided."
Ever since they learned that Song Yuning could embroider double-sided embroidery, the four sisters begged Song Yuning to embroider a double-sided embroidery for them.
Not everyone can learn embroidery, let alone double-sided embroidery, which requires superb skills. If you can't learn it, you really can't learn it.
"Okay, I'll embroider it for you. Now tell me when you're done. Stop keeping me in suspense." Song Yuning pushed Song Yurou speechlessly.
Song Yurou chuckled twice and said, "I heard that Young Master Zhang Liu died in Third Sister's room. When he was found, he was lying on the ground covered in blood.
It was later learned that Mr. Zhang Liu died because his head hit the corner of the bed.
Our third sister was also covered in wounds, and there were two scary dark purple finger marks on her neck. Both of them were lying on the ground, one dead and one injured.
I heard that the first person to discover the two was a little maid, who was so scared that she talked nonsense all day long.
Later, a doctor was called in to examine the third sister, who was found to have been pregnant for over a month. Perhaps it was because of the child in her belly that the Zhang family did not hold her responsible.
What kind of person Young Master Zhang Liu is has long been known throughout the capital. Not only are outsiders keeping their distance from such people, but even his own family members dislike him.
But we can't kill him for no reason.
This time he died, and anyone with a discerning eye could see how he died. Logically speaking, Song Yuru must take responsibility.
But the baby in her belly saved her life.
Song Yuwan was a fearless person. She said, "Sixth Master Zhang's death was really timely. If he hadn't died, it would have been our third sister who died.
Now that he's dead, and my third sister has left him an heir, he can finally rest in peace, and my third sister's life will be easier in the future."
Having a child is good enough, but she no longer has a husband, so she can just stay in her own yard and be a widow.
The Zhang family would not treat her too badly, and she would just live her own life behind closed doors. From this perspective, it was indeed a very good life.
