The smile on Zhuang Yulan's face turned into a look of embarrassment.
The banquet became quieter and quieter, and even the loudest breathing could be heard clearly.
The mistress of the house was disgraced, which was equivalent to the Hou Mansion being disgraced. The people present were all members of the Xie family, and naturally they were not very happy. However, they were not unhappy with Song Yijue's tough attitude, but were unhappy with Zhuang Yulan's surrender to the situation. It became so embarrassing.
"What General Song said is that when this child enters the general's mansion, he will naturally..."
Song Yijue hummed and turned around, not wanting to look at Zhuang Yulan more, and then continued: "I am a military general and a soldier. Although I am vulgar, I am not incapable of understanding people's words. Mrs. Hou must not treat people as fools." Yes. I know the purpose of Mrs. Hou inviting me here, but I am not willing to come here just to let you take advantage of me. I am here for the sake of my daughter-in-law and granddaughter."
Halfway through, he waved his hand and pointed at Shen Zhixi, and his eyes on her were complicated but not disgusting.
Just as he said, as long as his son likes it, he will love it.
"Mrs. Hou, please don't blame me for speaking harshly. Everyone present is not an outsider. I am spreading my words today to avoid trouble in the future."
Song Yijue blocked the conversation until Zhuang Yulan turned pale.
The so-called trouble in the future refers to Zhuang Yulan's plan to force her own daughter into the uncle's house. It means that if she really does this, don't blame him for ruthlessly causing trouble for the Xie family.
In other words, wanting Xie Jing'an to marry Song Lianzhou is completely out of the question.
Xie Jing'an, who was sitting behind the screen, burst into tears at the table. Song Yijue said this in public, and she knew that she really had no hope.
"Look." Song Lianzhou stood close to Shen Zhixi and lowered his voice and said to her: "I have told you a long time ago that my family members are not harsh people. As long as I like you, they will accept you."
Yes, Tang Zhou did say this before.
Shen Zhixi looked back at him, and his shining eyes moved her heart.
She did have doubts in the past, but she was really convinced after meeting his sister and meeting his father today.
After meeting his father, she understood better why Tang Zhou was such a good person.
His father taught him how to love, unlike her, who had been taught how to hate, how to defend, and how to calculate since she was a child.
I really don’t know why God sent Tang Zhou to her. Such a good Tang Zhou, the best Tang Zhou in the world.
Over there on the doll mat, Wan Ying sneezed due to the wind.
"What's wrong?" Song Yijue heard the sound and quickened his pace, and said anxiously: "The wind is a bit strong today. It's better not to blow the wind when you are recovering from a serious illness. The child is still so small and delicate, so just prepare some food and go back to the room to eat. There are so many people at the table and it’s such a mess, why bother? It’s enough that you’ve already seen the people, take them home and rest.”
He stood in front of Wanying and stretched out his hand towards Wanying, wanting to hug her.
"Grandpa, can I take you back to your house?" He smiled kindly and his eyes were bright.
Wan Ying sat in Fang Rou's arms, blinking her big eyes as she glanced at Song Lianzhou in the distance, then looked at Song Yijue carefully, and finally said in a waxy voice: "You and daddy look alike."
Song Yijue looked back at Song Lianzhou, and laughed loudly when he looked back again.
"What a smart boy, good boy. Grandpa will take you back to your room."
Shen Wanying stretched out her hand but quickly retracted it. She turned to look at Shen Zhixi for her approval. Seeing Shen Zhixi nodded gently, she smiled and stretched out her chubby little hand, and called out sweetly. Say, "Grandpa."
"General, I will lead the way for you." Fang Rou stood up and led the way for Song Yijue.
Shen Zhixi, the mother-in-law, did not refuse, so naturally others could not say anything.
Xie Muyun, who was standing at the banquet table with a gloomy but calm expression, led Song Lianzhou to sit down at the table, then turned around and continued to chat and laugh with the others.
Not long after Song Yijue left, Xie Jing'an also stood up and left the table.
She is not as thick-skinned as Zhuang Yulan, and she can still sit down after being ridiculed so much.
backyard.
Song Yijue held Wan Ying in his arms and looked at her cheek carefully as he walked away.
After thinking for a long time, I came up with a plan.
"I seem to have left a sachet on the table. Inside is something I prepared to give to Wan Ying. Go and look for it for me." He said to Fang Rou.
Fang Rou turned around, looking a little hesitant. If she left, only Song Yijue and Wan Ying would be left alone, fearing that Wan Ying would be scared.
"Go quickly, I'll be waiting for you here."
Song Yijue urged her, and then looked at Wan Ying's innocent face. Although she was ignorant, she showed no fear.
"Okay, general, wait a moment."
Since it was something that was going to be given to Wan Ying, it must be a valuable item, and Fang Rou didn't dare not pay attention to it.
Besides, this was the Ningcheng Hou Mansion, and Song Yijue was a general. How could she have thought that someone like Song Yijue would secretly abduct children from other people's homes. When she came back, everyone had already been abducted to the carriage, and the fact that the sachet was missing was completely false.
"Call grandpa again and I'll listen."
On the carriage, Song Yijue said to Wan Ying with a smile on his face.
Wan Ying blinked her big eyes. Although she was confused, she was extremely well-behaved. She called out softly, "Grandpa."
"How good. Grandpa's eldest granddaughter is really smart and obedient."
Song Yijue grinned and sighed.
"Don't be afraid. Grandpa won't hurt you. Grandpa just wants to take you to a big restaurant outside for dinner. What are the delicious food on the table? What's the point of eating with one chopstick per person? Grandpa will order a table of dishes for you later. Can you please eat alone?"
"What about mother?"
"Your mother, then...can we bring some back to your mother when we go back?"
Wan Ying thought for a moment, rolled her eyes and replied, "Okay."
Song Yijue chuckled, and asked again, "Aren't you afraid of me? Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"
An ordinary child would have cried when he was taken away by a stranger for so long.
"Well..." Wan Ying pursed her lips and reached out her hand to poke Song Yijue's face without fear of danger at all. "Daddy is not a bad person."
Song Yijue didn't react at first, but then he grinned again after thinking about it carefully.
"You mean, your dad is not a bad person. Grandpa and dad look like the same family, so grandpa is not a bad person, right?"
After hearing what he said, Wan Ying nodded repeatedly.
Song Yijue became more and more satisfied, although Wan Ying was indeed a smart child.
I just heard Song Lianzhou say that Wan Ying and him looked very similar, as if they were carved from the same mold, but now she was wearing this human skin mask, but she couldn't tell the resemblance at all.
That day, Song Lianzhou was poisoned by the lily of the valley flower and passed out in the greenhouse. Seeing him in so much pain, his father's heart was only more painful than him.
Just thinking about it, rather than watching him live in pain, it would be better to help him.
Later, Song Lianzhou told him everything. He was surprised and happy but also felt depressed for Song Lianzhou.
Even though she was his biological daughter, she had to wear a mask and pretend to be someone else's child. Song Lianzhou was willing to suffer such grievance, but he couldn't bear it.
