Chapter 156: Night in the Boudoir
Song Qingwan was their granddaughter by blood. When her grandchildren greeted her respectfully, her grandparents burst into tears. "Good child, good child, get up quickly."
The memories of the two old people still stop at many years ago, when the very young Song Qingwan held her brother's hand and secretly ran all the way from the countryside to the county town, waiting in the place where they often passed by.
They did it just to send gifts to their grandparents and show their filial piety, and these were all things that the children had worked hard to find, usually some seasonal wild fruits, and occasionally one or two river fish.
For a long time, the old lady loved to go out just to meet her grandchildren unexpectedly, until the family went to the capital.
For many years afterwards, they no longer saw their grandchildren. Only a few cold letters came from time to time, which made them feel extremely disappointed.
The letter was written by her grandson, who only reported good news and never expressed sorrow, let alone the hardships they experienced in their daily lives. This is how Song Qingwan became different today.
She was a girl under seventeen years old, and she was so majestic in the battlefield killing enemies. Girls from ordinary families were still acting like spoiled brats with their mothers, but their Qingwan~
The thrilling scenes played out before them, shocking and worrying, and their hearts almost stopped.
Thinking of this, grandma couldn't stop crying. Her trembling hands stroked Song Qingwan's blood-stained hair, which was cold and sticky.
How can this be a life for human beings? "It's too dangerous, too dangerous! It's all grandma's fault. If she hadn't been angry with your mother, you children wouldn't have to suffer so much." For a moment, grandma cried with regret.
Grandpa kept wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes. It was all because of his stubborn temper. But it was too late to say anything now. All that was left of the Ye family was a mess, and his daughter and grandson had to clean it up.
They were too ashamed to face anyone, but they did not dare to go down to look for their ancestors easily, for fear that their daughter would feel regret and guilt, and suffer for the rest of her life.
That’s why the Ye family made the trip to the capital.
Song Qingwan didn't care, because she didn't feel bitter, "Grandma, don't cry, we have changed for the better now, and after we bring you all here, our family will only be better.
My mother is looking forward to seeing you every day. She has already prepared everything you are used to and your favorite food. You just need to stay here with peace of mind.
Whether it is retirement or continuing business, there is no need to worry or feel pressure."
Song Qingwan's words were more convincing than those spoken by Song Dalin, the second oldest son of the Song family, because of Song Qingwan's close relationship with the prince.
Anyone can see that the two young people have a deep affection for each other, which reminds them of Song Dalin and Ye Qiuniang back then.
Moreover, Song Qingwan's love life will be more difficult than her daughter Ye Qiuniang, because that girl has the most precious identity in the world, while the Song family is just an ordinary citizen~
But the two elders, who had experienced a disastrous defeat, did not say anything extra. Song Qingwan was taken care of by her own parents, and all they could do was to help her.
Grandpa Ye's fighting spirit was instantly rekindled. He had been in business for a lifetime, so how could he be inferior to Fang Zheng?
Thinking of Fang Zheng, grandpa couldn't help but mention it to Song Qingwan, "Wanwan, what about Fang Zheng..." Grandpa wanted to know more about Fang Zheng.
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by his grandmother just as he opened his mouth, "You crazy old man, why are you talking about that villain at this time? You won't ruin my granddaughter's good mood.
Anyway, that person's leg was broken and seriously injured, whether he can survive is another matter. " And this was not Xiao Huatian's work, but a mistake made by the subordinates of the nobleman that Fang Zheng depended on.
What is this called? Of course, it is a case of one's own actions being punished by heaven. Fang Zheng had already fled to the capital, but he still came to Jiangnan to covet the Ye family's property. It was really ugly.
Grandma was very annoyed, and grandpa couldn't continue talking. Song Qingwan just smiled and didn't ask any more questions. "Yes, everyone was frightened today, so let's not talk about other things. Let's find an inn to stay in later and have a good rest. We will leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning and arrive home in the evening. Then we can have a good chat.
But who are these people?" Song Qingwan turned her gaze to the family opposite, and couldn't figure out their relationship with the Ye family.
Her question almost scared the two adults opposite to her to death. They suddenly lowered their heads, wishing they didn't exist.
This is Ye Qiuniang's daughter, and also Song Dalin's daughter. Their family's identities are too embarrassing. For Ye Qiuniang, it is even dishonorable, hurtful and insulting.
Would Song Qingwan crush their family's heads in a rage? Think about her actions on the battlefield. With a cudgel, the enemy turned into meat patties. Her hands were covered in blood. How could Ye Xiaoxing's family not be afraid?
Grandpa and grandma also smiled bitterly, but they had to face the reality, "This is our Ye family's adopted son, and his wife and children."
Song Qingwan was surprised. She never thought it was this kind of relationship. "Oh, this is my uncle? It's good that you're here. Everything will get better slowly in the future."
Since he is someone that the two elders are protecting, I think he shouldn't be too bad. The grudges between them are matters between the elders, so let me and the others resolve it themselves.
Song Qingwan's gentle handling almost moved Ye Xiaoxing to tears on the spot. He escaped a disaster, right? He was so grateful to this little ancestor.
She is worthy of being the queen, she is so generous.
Seeing that the Ye family members were relieved, Song Qingwan knew that she had made the right move.
The only thing I’m worried about now is whether there are any rooms available in the inn outside the city.
Just as she was thinking this, Xie Qingcheng's voice suddenly came from outside. He said with some surprise, "Miss, Liu Zhongyi said that the city gate is still open and we can enter the city. Do you want to go?"
Song Qingwan lifted the curtain and looked over. Their carriage was parked on the official road leading to the inn outside the city.
The inns on both sides are so small, and there are so many of them, it would be difficult to accommodate them. "Let's go into the city." The big inns in the city have more waiters to serve, and should be able to take better care of these cars of people, young and old.
So this city gate was specially reserved for her by Li Minghe, right?
"Yes." Xie Qingcheng responded outside the carriage, then whipped the horse to drive the horse forward, and shouted to the carriage in front, "Enter the city."
Liu Zhongyi drove the carriage to lead the way and entered the city directly without any carriage inspection. Then someone came to pick them up and went straight to the most luxurious inn in the city.
The person who came to pick him up was naturally arranged by Li Minghe.
Only until they checked into the warm inn, washed off the mud and blood on their bodies, and ate steaming hot meals did they feel that they were still truly alive.
It is so precious to survive a disaster. We cannot waste our time in the future. Moreover, Song Qingwan's iron-bloodedness and domineering attitude have ignited everyone's fighting spirit.
Just ask yourself, if the queen's family is a peasant, a carpenter, a small merchant, or a useless person, then I would like to ask you if this title is good or not? Does it hurt your self-esteem?
Song Qingwan didn't know what everyone was really thinking. After settling her family, she returned to her room and couldn't wait to take a shower to wash off the muddy dirt and dirty blood on her body.
