Chapter V: Wake
”Stand outside the door and eavesdrop!” Ann's raised his eyebrows and said angrily.
Song Rong pointed to the handkerchief that was dropped in the room and said: ”I just forgot something here.”
After saying all that, Song Rong's voice became slightly cold, ”If you have such intentions, you might as well learn from my mother and filial piety and filial piety!”
Ann's did not expect Song Rong to become so sharp-tongued. She took in a deep breath in anger and continued. ”Song Rong! I am your Aunt, how can you say that! ”
After saying that, the Ann's turned around and said to Old Madam Song: ”Mother, look at the daughter that the Xu's taught us, she's like that!” His tone was filled with ridicule and disdain!
When Song Rong heard Ann's's words, his eyes immediately filled with tears. He knelt on the ground and choked with sobs: ”Grandmother is right, I was not good to contradict Aunt just now. I was just, just could not bear to see my mother's filial piety being said to be in such a state.”
Song Rong knew when to be tough and what to be soft.
She continued to speak, ”With my father dead, aside from Yu'er, who still doesn't know what happened, Mother and I feel very sad. But no matter how sad we feel, we still have to look forward, because Father has no way of reviving. Rather than being sad for our father, it would be better to live a good life for him and be filial to the people he wants to filial.
Song Rong's words, in the ears of others and in the hearts of others, actually made the Ann's unable to refute for a moment.
She couldn't possibly say that Song Rong and Xu's should continue to feel sad, and not come to filial piety with the Old Mistress, right?
Ann's secretly glanced at the old lady from the corner of his eyes.
The old lady had her eyes closed, as if she had not heard what Song Rong had said. But the more the old lady was like this, the more anxious Ann's became, and she could not guess what the old lady was thinking.
”All of you can go back. I'm tired, I need to rest.” The old mistress opened her eyes and spoke slowly.
Ann's secretly thought that things were not good, it seems like this time, the Old Mistress was also angry with her.
Ann's knew that when the Old Mistress was unhappy, she could not afford to offend her. Thus, she could only say, ”Mother, then my daughter-in-law will take her leave first.”
Song Rong and Ann's walked out of Nanshan Academy together. Ann's looked at Song Rong with cold eyes.
Song Rong looked at Ann's with a smile that was not a smile, and turned to leave.
Ann's was shocked. She felt that the current Song Rong seemed to have changed.
Originally, she wanted to take the chance to make the old lady dislike the Xu's even more, but she didn't expect that she would be chased out of the Ann's just like that. Could she be at ease?
When Song Rong left the Penglai House, Xu's had already prepared an ice silk cake, but she wasn't there. Song Rong instructed Qing Tao to send all of this to the Nanshan Academy, and then, they arrived at the northernmost abandoned courtyard in the Song Mansion.
This could be considered a mourning hall.
The mourning hall was set up privately, and her father was dead, so much so that Song Dai was not allowed to collect the corpses. At the moment, in the memorial hall, there were only the memorial tablets and a pile of clothes.
If Song Dai did not care about his face, the Xu's would not even have a place to feel sad about, even this simple and crude spirit hall would not have one!
The spirit hall was simple, Song Yun was guilty of a death sentence, and everyone was avoiding suspicion, so, in the spirit hall, other than the Xu's, there was no one else.
The Xu's sat on the ground in a daze, staring at the tablet in a daze.
