Song Ru felt as if she had fallen into some sweet dream. She was eating cake after cake, and her stomach was full of hunger.
Song Tangning knew that she always ate less, and did not dare to give her too much. After the two small plates of snacks were empty, she saw that the tea soup on the small stove was boiling. She scooped some into a cup and placed it in front of Song Ru: "The snacks are too dry. , drink some tea to moisten your body."
"Thank you, second sister."
Song Ru's cheeks turned a light red, which made her look less pale.
She held the tea cup and took a sneak peek at the second sister opposite her. It was obvious that her face was covered with medicine and her dress was not as gorgeous as before, but for no reason she was closer to the second sister who she had seen laughing and joking through the corner. many.
"Second sister, your face..."
"My face is fine. I can get better with some medicine."
Song Ru said obediently when she heard this.
Tang Ning looked at her: "How is the house now?"
Song Ru hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Grandma has been having a high fever since she was injured the day before yesterday. She felt better yesterday. But my eldest aunt made a fuss in the house because of my brother's demotion. As a result, my grandmother also knew that Your Majesty After taking her life, she had another attack at night."
As if she was afraid that Tang Ning would think her useless, she held the cup with a look on her face.
"I can't go to my grandmother's place, and my father doesn't allow me to go to see her sick, so I don't know what's going on with my grandmother right now. I just saw the mess in the courtyard over there from a distance, and several imperial doctors went there. My uncle is here. Cups were smashed in the room, and my eldest aunt was even scolded and cried."
She didn't dare to ask about anything else.
When Tang Ning heard this, he was not surprised that people from the Imperial Medical Office went to the Song family. After all, Xiao Yan's decision not to allow anyone to diagnose and treat the Song family was brought to court. All he wanted was Mrs. Song's hand, and the others would not fall. As people say, the people in the Imperial Medical Office are also good people, and they will not offend the Song family again openly even if the matter reaches the Holy See.
"Second sister..." Seeing her thoughtful look, Song Ru hesitated and asked, "Will you go back?"
Tang Ning raised his eyes and looked at her: "Why do you ask?"
"I..." her lips moved: "I saw brother went to your yard."
Tang Ning frowned: "When did it happen?"
Song Ru whispered: "Just last night, I couldn't sleep and wanted to eat, so I met my brother and eldest sister."
"Brother drank a lot of wine and called your name drunkenly. Later, my eldest sister didn't know what she said, so I got angry and quarreled with her. I was a little worried that something would happen to them. After following for a while, I saw him and my eldest sister. Sister went to your yard."
Tang Ning looked at the skinny Song Ru, not believing that she would get up in the middle of the night to eat. In all likelihood, Song Ru had been deprived of food again and went to look for food at night, and ended up bumping into Song Jinxiu and the others.
But what were Song Jinxiu and Song Shulan doing in her Shi'an Garden?
Song Ru obviously didn't often say bad things about people, and she was very timid. As if she was afraid that Song Tangning would ask questions, she put the teacup back on the table after speaking.
"Second sister, I've been out for a long time, it's time to go back."
"I'll ask someone to take you back..."
"Need not."
After Song Ru refused hurriedly, she saw Tang Ning frowning and quickly explained: "I came out secretly, just to see if the second sister was okay. The house is in chaos now. If they know that I have come to Jiuyun Lane, the second sister will be in trouble." My sister will be in trouble."
"I'll just go back by myself, and second sister will take good care of her injuries..." After saying that, she paused and said, "Thank you, second sister, for the snacks."
The little girl talks like a mosquito. If you don't pay close attention, you can't even hear her last words of thanks.
Song Tangning only felt that she was too timid. She originally wanted someone to give her away, but Song Ru refused to do anything, so in the end Tangning had no choice but to let her go.
Hua Wu's face looked a little strange after he returned from sending someone off: "Girl, the Third Lady walked here alone, and there wasn't even a servant by her side."
After all, the Song family is the palace of the Duke of Guo. In the mansion, whether the husband or the daughter, they are surrounded by worthy servants. Just like Song Tangning, she also had two maids by her side, but she was previously raped by the seller because she wanted to please Song Shulan. He was driven out, but at least there was still Hua Wu left.
But Song Ru was lucky, there was no one around her.
Song Tangning frowned: "Did anyone follow you?"
"My slave has told Guard Hang that he will send someone to take Miss Sanniang back. Don't worry, Miss."
Hua Wu helped Tang Ning back to her backyard. After taking off her coat for her, she couldn't help but ask:
"Girl, what do you think the Third Lady has come to see you for? We haven't had much contact with her in the past. The girl has never seen her come to the door when she lived in the house. She can't say more than two words all year round."
The courtyards of the third and second bedrooms are quite far apart, and Song Ru rarely goes to other people's courtyards. Hua Wu saw Song Ru from a distance once during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.
She stretched out her hand to wash off the medicine on Tang Ning's face, and while reapplying the medicine for her, she said, "Isn't the third lady here to help the government to find out the news?"
"Probably not."
There was a sting on her face, and Tang Ning took a breath and said, "She must have listened to what was said outside and thought I was vomiting blood and fainting, so she came to see me."
Hua Wu moved his hands carefully, but his expression was full of doubt: "Can the third lady be so good?"
After all the medicine was applied on the face, Hua Wu waited until the stinging pain was covered by the coolness. Hua Wu carefully checked that there was no omission, then brought the basin over and twisted the handkerchief while helping Tang Ning wipe her face, but she was still mumbling. .
"The eldest lady was brought back by the third master. If the house is not in such chaos, it would be great if the third wife does not help the third master. Can you come here to see the girl?"
Now the old lady's first-class title is gone, leaving only the lowest-class child. Every woman in the capital is better than her. The eldest man is even worse. It is said that he was sent back to the Hanlin Academy to cultivate his character, but His Majesty did not give him anything. any official position.
The Hanlin Academy is where the emperor's heart is, but Dalangjun has nowhere to stand. If he goes to the Hanlin Academy, he has nothing to do and is ridiculed by others. If he doesn't go to the Hanlin Academy, he will be dissatisfied with the emperor, and whether he goes or not, he will be humiliated by others.
Governor Xiao ruined the future of the eldest husband for his girl, and the Song family is probably eager to tear the girl apart now.
Song Tangning heard this and said: "The third uncle is the third uncle, and Aru is Aru, and she is not just here to see me."
"Ah?" Hua Wu was confused.
Song Tangning pursed her lips. She had barely gotten along with Song Ru for a while in her last life, and she knew her temperament.
Song Ru was cowardly, cowardly and afraid of getting into trouble. She never dared to go against Song Tan and the others, but she was also truly kind-hearted.
Just like she knew that she was being harmed by Song Jinxiu and the others and didn't dare to let her out, but she could secretly give her food behind everyone's back so that she could live well. She must have seen something when she came here today and didn't dare to tell her directly. But I'm afraid she doesn't know.
Song Jinxiu and Song Shulan probably didn't do anything good when they entered her yard in the middle of the night, or maybe they said something bad during a drunken argument.
Song Ru didn't dare to tell her and was afraid that something would happen to her, so she could only remind her indirectly.
