Chapter 54: Does Song's wife want me to give up my chil
u get there, no one can get out, and the imperial court won't be able to find out.Xu Wei had a confident air, and Shen Qian was so frightened that she trembled. But facing Xu Wei's icy gaze, she dared..."Who are you"
Jiang Wan glanced at her, her eyes sending a chill down Hua Xiao's spine. Hua Xiao felt a flutter of unease in her heart when she was looked at.
"Miss Song, I...I didn't mean anything else, just wanted to give you a heads up."
"
Noisy!
"
Song Jiu Yuan's voice was cold, he didn't even glance at Hua Xiao. Although he was tough-mouthed, he protected Jiang Wan.
Song Jiuli also hurriedly opened her mouth, "We're all family, you don't need to put on a good guy act, do you, brother"
She said this to Song Jiubian, but Song Jiubian didn't answer. Instead, Song Jichi replied.
"Yes."
Song Dajiao then coldly looked at Huaxiao, "Didn't your father teach you not to meddle in other people's affairs"
She said this while looking at Huaxiang and her father, Huafu. Huafu immediately pulled on Huaxiang.
"Xiaoxiao, don't talk nonsense."
"
“Father, I did this for her own good.”
"
Hua Xiao frowned, she didn't quite understand the Song family. If Jiang Wan ran away and was found out, their whole family would be punished.
But they not only weren't angry, they were even so protective of Jiang Wan. It's outrageous.
Father Hua was also helpless, he pulled Hua Xia aside and said, "That's their business, you don't need to worry about it."
"Brother Tingyu."
Huāxiǎo ran up to Lín Tíngyù's side, her face slightly downcast. "I was just trying to give Sòng Niángzi a few friendly reminders, but she seemed quite unhappy."
I thought Lin Tingyu would come towards me, but who knew his brow furrowed, and his gentle voice spoke in icy words.
"How Song's daughter does things is her own business, you shouldn't meddle."
...
Seeing her crestfallen expression, Jiang Wan couldn't help but burst into laughter, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
She said to Song Jiuli, who was beside her, in a serious tone: “Jiuli, there’s an old man in Beijing who is eighty years old. When others asked him the secret to his longevity, do you know what he answered”
"How should I answer"
Song Jiu Li looked over blankly, apparently not knowing why Jiang Wan would ask her such a question.
Only to see Ginger roll her eyes and let out a laugh. "He said he never meddles in other people's business."
"Pffft..."
Song Jiu-Li couldn't hold back a smile, Song Da-Nüzi was also full of smiles, and even Song Jiu-Chi and Song Jiu-Yuan had their lips slightly curled up.
Across a short distance, Hu Xiao's face flushed red from Jiang Wan's words. A pair of beautiful eyes were misty with water vapor.
"Xiaoxiao, don't be sad. Father knows you had good intentions, but that's someone else's family affair."
Huā Dì softly comforted Huā Xiǎo, but Huā Xiǎo was indignant inside. Although she felt wronged, she didn't say anything out of consideration for her image.
Little Deng and Old Zhang bought back food and supplies. Ren Bang simply distributed them to everyone, and then they each went their separate ways.
The crowd queued up to receive their rations. Madam Song told Ginger and Song Jiuli to rest, while Song Jichí went to line up for the family's coarse grain.
During a break, Ginger accidentally discovered that Chen Ce and Mrs. Chen were quietly arguing about something.
She didn't need to guess why. Chen Ce quickly went to collect food, while Mrs. Chen angrily found a place to sit and wipe her tears.
"Ginger wrapped."
Song Jiuyuan suddenly spoke, his gaze falling on Chen Niangzi in the distance. Thinking of what he had promised, Jiang Wan raised her foot and walked towards Chen Niangzi.
"Mother, please don't cry, okay"
Chen Wenhao was hugging Chen Niangzi's calf, coaxing her in a milky voice.
Mrs. Chen's voice was choked with emotion as she rubbed Chen Wenhao's head, "Wenhao, be good and let mother have a moment to herself, okay"
But Wen Hao was worried about his mother.
Chen Wenhao pouted his mouth and, understandingly, tiptoed to wipe away tears for Mrs. Chen.
"Wén Hào, Aunt has something to say with your mother. Why don't you go over to your father"
Jiang Wan unconsciously softened her voice. Chen Wenhao hesitated for a second before agreeing, "Okay."
After saying that, she ran to Chen Ce who was lining up not far away. She didn't feel at ease until she reached him.
"Song, are you suggesting I give up my child"
When she spoke, her palms rested on her lower abdomen, her eyes gentle, her whole body radiating a motherly glow.
"No."
Ginger shook her head and honestly said, "Chen Ce asked me before, asking me to find some herbs. I refused."
“He... is also doing this for my own good.”
"Mrs. Chen sighed, tears welling up in her eyes, "Ever since I gave birth to Wen Hao, my belly has been quiet."
To think, after a sudden exile, this child simply appeared. While his timing may be off, I just can't bear to part with him.
"The road is difficult to travel. Wait until you are a bit older, then it might be dangerous."
Actually, Jiang Wan knew rationally that Chen Ce's idea was right, but looking at Chen's sad eyes, she couldn't say anything cruel.
"I know."
Mrs. Chen caressed her abdomen with her fingertips, "Last night, when my husband persuaded me, I almost agreed."
"Did you know, Madam Song Last night, I felt the child kicking me. It was the child calling out to me, begging me not to give up on her."
Ginger has never been a mother, so she can't relate to her. All she can do now is advise her.
"Whether you stay or leave is up to you, but first and foremost, take good care of your physical health. Don't get too emotionally agitated, as that won't be good for either of you."
"I know, thank you, Song maiden."
Mrs. Chen expressed her sincere gratitude to Ginger for her help, and the two chatted softly in hushed tones. Ginger comforted Mrs. Chen and also gave her some advice.
Before Chen Ce returned, Jiang Wan went back to Song Jiubian's side. Facing his puzzled look, she whispered the reason for their argument to them.
Song Jiuyuan frowned in silence, while Song Jiuri said indignantly:
"That was a life! How could Chen Ce be so heartless"
"Lili!"
Song Dajiao nodded Song Jiuli's head disapprovingly, "We're not going on a trip now, we're going into exile."
It is said that the desolate land was barren, not even a blade of grass grew. Given all the hardships he would face next, Chen Ce's thoughts were understandable.
A few words once again silenced the crowd. Song Jiubian closed his eyes, and finally only uttered two words.
"It's my fault."
I don't know if this matter touched Song Jiubian's sad things, and he remained silent on the road afterwards.
And Lin Tingyu and his group seemed to be traveling the same way, following them at a distance.
Along the way, Jiang Wan noticed that Hua Xiao had been circling around Lin Tingyu. Hmph, it seems the sixth prince's little wife has also been snatched away.
The enemy's misfortune made Ginger happy, and she found Lin Tingyu even more pleasing to the eye.
Because she went to the market and stocked up, and also distributed food today, Ginger Wan was very generous. Of course, everyone's food is pretty good too.
Ginger found an opportunity to go into the woods and then dragged out the dead wolf she had stored in her space earlier.
Luckily, the space has a preservation effect. Taking it out and it looks just as fresh, no one should suspect anything.
When everyone saw the little girl, who looked so delicate, dragging a wolf behind her, they couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
Especially Hua Xiao, her eyes widened in surprise, clearly startled.
Are all ancient women this capable
That's a wolf!would always cling to him like a leech, shamelessly confessing her feelings in public."With a stepmother comes a stepfather, of course they wouldn't be kind to me."Ginger glanced at him faintly, tore...
