Seeing that Song Ru's eyes were red, the stern look on the woman's face softened, and she stretched out her hand to trim her forehead.
"Little A'ru, you finally got rid of the Song family and got the life your mother had hoped for. Cherish your blessings and think more about your sister."
"I'm not one of those little girls who can't carry it with their shoulders or lift it with their hands. Besides, look at my face. I'm so good-looking. There are many men who want me."
"I was always worried about you before, but now that you have escaped from the wolf den, I can rest assured and find a home for myself."
She didn't give Song Ru a chance to speak at all, so she patted her head with disgust.
"I finally found a handsome and well-off man who can be a ready-made mother without giving birth to a baby. Please don't spoil my good deeds... Hey, why are you still crying? Girls have so many tears. It’s precious, you should cry less to make people feel sad…”
The little girl cried even harder.
Aunt Rui couldn't help but sigh and pulled the man into her arms.
"Okay, okay, if I don't mind you, it's not enough. At worst, I will give you wedding candies when I'm happy later."
…
Tang Ning waited in the distance for a long time before Song Ru came back, but the woman who had talked to her before was not around her.
Seeing her eyes were red, Tang Ning asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Song Ru's voice was slightly hoarse: "Aunt Rui doesn't want to go back with me. She said she is getting married."
Tang Ning was not surprised. She knew about Aunt Rui from Song Ru and knew that after secretly taking care of Song Ru these years, she guessed that she would not follow them back to Tang Mansion.
Seeing that Song Ru was feeling uncomfortable, Tang Ning hugged her gently and said, "I will ask someone to check Aunt Zharui's husband's family and take care of her secretly. If you miss her in the future, you can visit her at any time."
Song Ru leaned into Tang Ning's arms and whispered "Hmm". After a moment, she said, "Sister, will you go to the Song family ancestral hall?"
Tang Ning nodded.
"Then after the Song family name is removed, I want to change my surname back to my grandma's."
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment. She originally planned to let Song Ru join the Rong family after discussing with her aunt.
After Song Ru broke off her relationship with Song Tan, she lost the protection of the clan, and due to the Song family's reasons, it may not be easy for her to get married in the future. But if she joins the Rong family, even if she is just an adopted girl, her status will be different.
But she didn't expect that Song Ru would want to change her surname to Xue.
Tang Ning didn't ask her why, nor did she try to persuade her. She just asked, "Have you thought about it?"
Song Ru whispered: "Think about it."
She wanted to be named Xue, but her sister was still her sister.
Tang Ning did not agree at all. She just thought for a moment and said: "Tomorrow I will go to the Song family to move the grave and remove the family name. It will take a day or two to come and go. After the Song family's affairs are settled, if you still don't change your mind, Then I will accompany you to Jingzhao Mansion to change your family name, and your surname will be Xue."
Song Ru rubbed her shoulder: "Thank you, sister."
On the way back, Tangning and Tangning didn't speak again. Hua Wu and Xichun also stayed quietly aside.
Perhaps because of the high mood swings today, or perhaps because the injury had not yet healed, Song Ru fell asleep leaning on Tang Ning before she arrived at the house.
After the carriage stopped, she was still sleeping deeply, with no intention of waking up.
Tang Ning originally thought that Song Ru was in a bad mood and did not disturb her rest, but now she realized something was wrong. She quickly reached out and touched her forehead, and found that Song Ru started to feel hot at some point.
"Aru, Aru?"
Seeing that Song Ru had her eyes closed and her eyelashes were trembling but she didn't wake up, Tang Ning hurriedly said: "Hurry and help Aru in."
Hang Li stood outside: "Girl, what happened?"
"Aru had a fever and fell into a coma."
Song Ru's body was already extremely weak. Years of losses had left her in a terrible state. After being injured earlier, she happened to come to Guishui. Even Madam Qin said that her situation was really not good. If it weren't for Song Tan today, Tang Ning would He would not agree to let her leave the house.
When Hang Li opened the car curtain, he saw Song Ru leaning on Tang Ning. She was a small ball and her face was extremely pale. Xichun and Hua Wu were about to reach out to help her.
Hang Li's brows were filled with a hint of urgency: "Mrs. Ru hasn't recovered from her last injury. She's in a coma. Helping her in like this might hurt her. Girl, why don't I take her in." She seemed to be afraid of offending her. Misunderstanding, he said in a low voice: "There are no other people here, and Mrs. Ru's reputation will not be harmed."
Tang Ning didn't think much after hearing this. It was Hang Li who brought Song Ru back after she was injured last time. He followed the rules when going in and out. Moreover, she touched Song Ru's forehead and it felt hot, so she didn't hesitate anymore.
"That's okay. You can carry Aru in and be gentle."
After receiving the permission, Hang Li lowered his head and got into the carriage shed without any delay. He stretched out his hand to take Song Ru into his arms and got out of the carriage.
After returning to the mansion, they went straight back to Song Ru's courtyard and ordered Xichun to go find Dr. Sun and Hua Wu to get water. Tang Ning just stepped into Song Ru's boudoir late. When he came in, he saw Hang Li He was leaning over the bed in a weird posture.
"Guard Hang?"
Hang Li quickly turned sideways: "Girl."
Only then did Tang Ning see clearly that his sleeve was grabbed by Song Ru on the bed.
Hang Li whispered: "Ms. Ru seems to be a little bit feverish and confused..."
Just like the last time he came back with her in his arms, she held on to the hem of his clothes tightly. She pulled on his sleeves hard and refused to let go.
Hang Li felt a little stuffy in his heart and pinched Song Ru's slender wrist. After she let go of his sleeve, he carefully put her hand back to the bed.
Not daring to look at the person on the bed, Hang Li exited and asked in a low voice: "Girl, I just heard that you told Madam Ru that you are going to the Song family tomorrow?"
Tang Ning didn't think it was strange for Hang Li, who was driving the car, to hear this: "Yes, go and prepare, bring some people, and go tomorrow morning..."
She paused and looked at Song Ru who was lying on the bed. Thinking of Song Jinxiu who blocked them, her face became colder: "Forget it, you don't have to wait until tomorrow. You go call someone and we'll go later!"
A stern look flashed in Hang Li's eyes: "Yes."
Dr. Sun rushed over to look at Song Ru and said that she suddenly fell into a fever and fell asleep just because her mood fluctuated too much and her body was weak. When there was nothing serious, Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and asked Hua Wu and Xichun to take care of Song Ru. Ru, when she went out, Hang Li was already ready outside.
Gu Helian and Xiao Yan were also there.
Gu Helian's face looked a little haggard. When she saw Tang Ning coming out, she said, "I heard that you are going to destroy the Song family's ancestral hall?"
Xiao Yan glanced at him, turned to look at Tang Ning and said warmly: "Do you want to move the grave tonight?"
Tang Ning said with a cold face: "I don't want to have anything to do with the Song family for a moment."
Xiao Yan heard the words and said quietly: "Since you don't want to contaminate them, then move the grave tonight. I'll have the new coffin and tomb prepared. Although the academy has not been completed yet, the mountain behind it has been separated. Come out and send Mrs. Rong and the others directly there later."
"Brother, when did you prepare it?"
"When you mentioned it that day, you thought you would need it sooner or later, so you prepared it first."
Xiao Yan raised his feet to her side, and when his shadow overlapped with hers, it just covered the scorching sun that enveloped her body.
"Let's go, I'll accompany you."
Tang Ning raised her head slightly and looked at his backlit side face.
There were obviously no sweet words or too many touching words, just the unreserved "I'll be with you", which made her guard suddenly collapse.
The sunshine in May was particularly dazzling, and Xiao Yan's body seemed to be covered with a layer of light. The dappled light suddenly hit her heart like a blunt object, making Tang Ning suddenly throb.
