Song Yichen looked at his haggard sister under the moonlight and wiped away the tears.
He forced a smile and said, "Sister, don't worry, no one will notice."
He looked at Qiu He next to him again, "Sister Qiu He, thank you for your hard work."
Qiu He covered his mouth and sobbed: "Master, this slave is not working hard at all. It is the young lady who is suffering..."
Song Jingyan shouted in a low voice: "Qiu He, what are you talking about? I'm just a little acclimatized, where is the pain?"
Song Yichen held her hand and said distressedly: "Sister, please stop talking. I know everything. I am here to discuss with you tonight about taking you home."
"Brother, what are you talking about? I'm already married. Isn't this my home? When you go back, tell your parents that you will visit them when I recover."
Song Jingyan glanced at him, and then said harshly: "Your second sister is getting married soon, and the family must be very busy. You can go back as soon as you stay here for two days!"
After hearing her sister's words, Song Yichen's heart felt like a knife. "Sister, you don't have to say anything. I will definitely take you away this time. The arrangements have been made outside. Just do as I say."
He carefully explained the plan discussed by the few people just now to the eldest sister.
He also warned: "The Fang family will definitely send someone to escort us, and when the time comes, just say you won't bring so many people.
If they insist, don't refuse, just let them follow and avoid making the Fang family suspicious. "
Song Jingyan shook her head, "Brother, you think too simply. As long as we leave the city, they will definitely attack on the road.
Just pretend you don't know about me, have fun here for two days and then go back, so they won't harm you. I'll tell my father what happened when I get home, and let him avenge me in the future. "
All she wants now is to coax her brother away, so that he may still have a chance of survival.
Song Yichen said firmly: "Sister, I've been here, how could they let me go? If you don't come with me, then I won't go back. I will stay here with you."
Seeing his sister looking at him angrily with red eyes, he softened his voice and lied to her.
"Sister, I have really made arrangements. There are many experts outside the city waiting to escort us back. There will be no accidents on the way."
Song Jingyan was silent for a long time before nodding.
The cruelty of Yi Fang’s family. Even if the younger brother doesn't know, they may not let him go.
In this case, it is better to go with my brother than to wait for death here.
After the siblings finished talking about the business, Song Yichen and Li Yunze went back.
He didn't ask his sister what happened?
No matter what? By torturing his sister like this, the two families had already formed a blood feud.
As long as he is alive, the Song family and the Fang family will be at odds with each other.
Early the next morning, Song Yichen went to find Magistrate Fang.
He was very polite and respectful, "Uncle Fang, my eldest sister's acclimatization is getting worse and worse. I want to take her back to live for a while.
It just so happens that my second sister is getting married, so if she goes back to be happy, maybe her illness will be cured. I hope my uncle can agree to my nephew's request. "
After hearing what he said, the prefect looked at him calmly.
He was fine when he came yesterday, but today he said he would take his sister back. Could it be that he knew something?
But none of this mattered anymore. Song Yichen's request was exactly what he hoped for.
Regardless of whether Song Yichen knew the truth of the matter or not, he could not be allowed to return to Fengcheng.
He couldn't let his family take such a risk, and he had to deal with the two siblings on the road.
Magistrate Fang did not agree immediately, but said worriedly: "Your sister is not in good health to begin with. It's a tiring journey. If something happens along the way, it will be too late to regret it. It's better to recuperate at home! You are here too." Stay with her for a while.”
Song Yichen smiled and said: "Uncle Fang, let's walk slower on the road. It should be fine. I will also take good care of my eldest sister."
The prefect still didn't let go, pretending to be worried.
Song Yichen held back his nausea and asked a few more words. He then said awkwardly: "Okay! I'll go back and discuss it with your aunt and your brother-in-law. Then I'll send more people to escort you on the road, and invite two doctors to accompany you."
"Thank you, Uncle Fang."
After the matter was settled, Song Yichen went directly to the eldest sister's yard.
Now that he knew the Fang family's plan, there was no need for him to be secretive anymore and he had breakfast with his eldest sister openly.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong led the carriage out early in the morning.
Mrs. Fang wanted to send a servant to take them there, but Li Yunze refused. He told them to just take a stroll and come back soon.
Ye Yutong shamelessly asked her for two hundred taels of silver, saying it was an advance payment.
Although Mrs. Fang looked unhappy, she still asked her servant to give her the money.
As soon as the three of them left the government office, they found someone following them.
The three of them didn't pay attention and continued to wander casually on the street.
Any store that is open, whether you want to buy something or not? They all went in and watched.
After walking around for almost two hours, the three of them drove the carriage back.
Ye Yutong also spent eight cents to buy a wooden hairpin for Mrs. Fang to thank her for her hospitality yesterday.
As soon as he returned to the house, Ye Yutong took the hairpin and went to the backyard to find Mrs. Fang.
When he saw her, he flattered her and said, "Madam, I bought you a beautiful hairpin on the street today. Please try it on quickly."
Mrs. Fang had just discussed with Magistrate Fang in the morning about sending them away, and she was thinking of enduring it for two more days.
Unexpectedly, this ignorant girl jumped over again. I think this countryman is really thick-skinned.
She took the wooden hairpin, threw it on the table, and said calmly:
"Miss Ye, I still have some housework to deal with here. If you have nothing to do, go back and rest!"
How could Ye Yutong be so easy to get rid of? Pointing to the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table, he swallowed and said:
"Madam, can I try that pastry? I have never eaten such a beautiful pastry since I was a child."
Mrs. Fang endured it, gritted her teeth and said, "Mother Sun, wrap up this plate of cakes and let Miss Ye take it back to eat."
Ye Yutong immediately thanked me happily: "Thank you, madam. Madam has a really kind heart."
She happily took the bag of snacks and asked a little embarrassedly: "Madam, the elbow was so delicious yesterday! I still want to eat it today."
Mrs. Fang glanced at her, her eyes full of contempt and disdain, and she mocked her with a smile.
"Miss Ye, don't you look at what time it is now? You can have that elbow if you want? Do you think you can eat big meat every day in the countryside?"
As if he couldn't hear her sarcasm, Ye Yutong still smiled playfully, "Madam, we in the countryside don't even have enough to eat wild vegetables, and we have never seen these things.
It was Young Master Song who told me and my brother, don’t be polite, treat this place as your home, come to you if you want to eat, saying that your family has a great business and won’t care about this little food. "
Grandma Sun's face changed when she saw how angry she was, so she winked at the two maids and asked them to take the little girl out.
After Ye Yutong left, Mrs. Fang slapped the table angrily.
Originally, I wanted them to stay here for two more days just to show off.
Now it seems that it is better to send them away as soon as possible!
She didn't want to see these people who couldn't get on the stage for a day.
