Song Wangyue arrived outside the main gate.
Madam Zhang, who was standing at the door, saw her and came forward, “Miss Song, I have taken the liberty to come and disturb you.”
Song Wan Yue smiled, “It’s no problem, if there’s anything Madam, just say it.”
Looking at her face full of smiles and the upturned corners of her mouth, Madam Zhang inexplicably got a chill down her back, intuiting that Song Wangyue already knew what she was up to.
But still, she responded with a scalp, “I have something to ask you for help, can I borrow a step to talk.”
Song Wangyue gestured for the others to wait where they were, and she followed Madam Zhang to the carriage.
Uncle Xu kept an eye on her, and when he saw the two go over to the carriage, he hurriedly moved a few steps to the side to make sure he could see them before stopping.
“Miss Song ……”
Using the partition of the carriage, Madam Zhang saluted first, her demeanor seeing a bit more respect, “Our chief wants to see you.”
Song Wangyue raised her eyebrows, did not say go nor did she say not to go.
If she had known that Song Wangyue could guess their identities, she would not have had to make that scene.
“Good.”
Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed, and busily lifted the curtain of the carriage, “Please.”
“I’ll go and give Uncle Xu a word.”
Madam Zhang dropped her hand to move aside.
Song Wangyue walked back to Uncle Xu, “Mrs. Zhang is an acquaintance, something has happened with their family business and she wants me to go over and take a look, so don’t worry.”
“I’ll send two boys to follow you.”
“No need, I’ll be back soon, if the family wants to ask you, just mention Mrs. Zhang, they all know.”
Uncle Xu was still a little uneasy and looked at the carriage a few more times, remembering what it looked like, before he watched Song Wan Yue get into the carriage and leave.
The carriage went for two quarters of an hour and came to a stop in front of a mansion.
Madam Zhang got off the carriage first and waited for Song Wan Yue to get off, then respectfully guided her inside.
The mansion was not large, and once inside was a large courtyard, followed by three northern rooms.
Xiao Qian, who should have been recuperating in the temple outside the city, was currently standing at the entrance of the room, and when he saw Madam Zhang leading Song Wan Yue over, he could not help but feel vain.
Song Wan Yue also saw him and showed a smile that seemed to be a smile, but her words sounded surprised, “Sir Xiao, you have recovered from your illness?”
Xiao Qian, ……
coughed lightly and didn’t return her words, moving his body away, “Please come in, Miss Song.”
Song Wangyue nonchalantly lifted her feet and went in, sitting on the stool in the hall.
Xiao Qian sat down on the other side and took out a letter from his arms and placed it on the table, pushing it in front of Song Wan Yue, “Is this a letter from cousin to Miss Song?”
Song Wan Yue once again raised her eyebrows and asked knowingly, “Your cousin?”
Xiao Qian was helpless and cursed Chu Yunxiao countless times in his heart, a letter was just a letter, just send someone to deliver it quietly, he had to give it to her personally.
“Well, my cousin.”
Song Wan Yue glanced at the letter and didn’t move, “Mr. Xiao this is wrong, you know that my fiancé died not long ago, I haven’t even gotten over it yet, and you are introducing me to someone, it’s too inappropriate.”
Xiao Qian,……
He opened his mouth several times, but did not utter a single word.
“We are also considered relatives, I won’t tell your family what you did today, but please remember, don’t do such things in the future.”
After saying that, he made a move to get up.
Xiao Qian stood up sharply and subconsciously reached out his hand to stop him, but when he noticed that something was wrong, he hurriedly withdrew it and begged for forgiveness, “Miss Song, please don’t give me a hard time, I know you have anger in your heart, but it was your cousin’s idea to cheat death, if you are angry, you can go after him later and give him a hard time.”
“It’s to clean him up.”
Song Wan Yue sat down steadily, “You tell someone to bring him the message that he had better not appear in front of me in this life.”
She spoke calmly, but Xiao Qian’s heart trembled as he listened. However, seeing her sit back down, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, “You read the letter, I’ll go stand guard at the door.”
After saying that, without waiting for Song Wangyue to reply, he eagerly walked towards the outside, and because he was in a hurry, he even tripped over the threshold and almost fell down.
Song Wan Yue picked up the letter and opened it, inside was familiar handwriting and a familiar address.
The letter was long, five pages long, and all it said was how much she was missed.
After reading it, Song Wan Yue refolded the letter and put it back, without any expression.
Xiao Qian kept an eye on her out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw that she didn’t have any expression after reading it, his heart jumped and he subconsciously moved next to the door, trying to hide his figure.
But Song Wangyue stood up, “I’ve already read the letter, and I’m relieved to know that he’s not dead.”
As she spoke, she had already reached the door.
Xiao Qian didn’t expect this reaction from her, so he shifted sideways to block the door and met Song Wan Yue’s warm gaze, so he stuttered, “You’re not returning a letter to your cousin?”
“He asked me to answer the letter?”
“No, no.”
“If I didn’t, why should I write back to him?”
Xiao Qian, ……
He hadn’t come into contact with any women over the years except his own sister, and didn’t know that girls could be so difficult to deal with. His cousin did not say that he wanted Song Wangyue to return the letter, but asking him to deliver it personally meant just that, and Song Wangyue was so smart that she would not fail to know.
“I still have to go back and pack, please make way.”
“Song ……”
“What, want to make a move?”
Xiao Qian hurriedly stepped aside, and Song Wangyue walked past him and straight out the door.
Madam Zhang, who had always stood to one side, saw that Xiao Qian had not given any orders and quickly followed Song Wangyue, going to the carriage first, respectfully lifting the curtain and inviting her up to personally send the person back.
Xiao Qian stood in place for a long time before he lifted his feet and went inside, took out a fire torch and lit it, burning the letter, “Go and tell grandfather that I ……”
Halfway through the words, he paused, and only after a long time did he speak out again, “Forget it, it’s all cousin’s fault, let him take the blame, I don’t care.”
The fact that the cousin has a high regard for Song Wangyue, he will be afraid of his wife in the future. He couldn’t offend Song Wangyue, or he wouldn’t have any good consequences in the future.
When she heard that she was going back, Meng immediately wanted to follow her, but Song reminded her that Meng Yang would come to the capital after receiving the decree.
The old gentleman, on the other hand, did not say a word and directly asked Xu Liang to pack his things.
After another day, the group left the capital in a horse-drawn carriage.
At the same time, an imperial decree was issued from the palace, arriving in Jinling ten days later.
The eunuch who delivered the decree went first to the office of the governor of Jinling. A quarter of an hour later, the governor of Jinling accompanied the eunuch who delivered the decree all the way to the entrance of the Meng family.
When Meng Yang received the report, he guessed that the matter had been completed and excitedly trotted out of the house.
When he came out of the doorway, he fell back and worshipped.
The eunuch who announced the decree had already received the order and opened it at the door, reading it out.
Within half an hour, the news that Meng Yang had been given the title of Imperial Merchant spread throughout Jinling, and the whole of Jinling was abuzz with excitement.
