Song Ziling pursed his lips and began to cry silently. His father was really dead, as Madman Cui said.
Yun Qingyang didn't know what words of comfort to say, so he just patted Song Ziling's back silently.

"She really doesn't accept it?" Xuanyuan Yu frowned and looked at Xuanyuan Liuyun and asked.
Xuanyuan Liuyun nodded and said, "Ms. Shen said that as long as we don't see General Song's body for a day, we won't believe that he is dead."
Xuanyuan Yu shook his head and said: "She was the one who wanted to make peace with her in the first place, and she and General Song were heartless. But now that General Song's soldiers are gone, and there are no bones left, why is she unwilling to accept the fact that General Song is dead? What? Is she affectionate towards General Song, or is she ruthless?"
This Shen Wan is really confusing.
Xuanyuan Liuyun didn't answer. Looking at Shen's behavior, how could he be ruthless to General Song?
"Hey..." Xuanyuan Yu sighed heavily. He also felt very sad after losing such a great general who had been with him through life and death.
Things are unpredictable. If he could have expected that something like this would happen to General Song, he would never let him go to Muyun Mountain to suppress the bandits.
He heard yesterday that General Song's old mother fell ill after hearing that her son died in Muyun Mountain. He had sent an imperial doctor to General Song, fearing that something would happen to the old lady again.
"Since Mrs. Shen has to see the body of General Song before she accepts this fact, let the Muyun City garrison continue to send people to salvage along the river!" This man said that he would be buried in peace, and no matter what, he would find General Song's body. The bones should be buried in peace.
As soon as the court broke up in the morning, the news spread throughout the imperial city that Song Heng, the general in charge of Zhenbei, had died in Muyun Mountain, with no body left.
The people in the city were first shocked and disbelieving, and then sad and regretful.
Song Ziling returned to the villa, hugged his mother and cried.
"Mom, they all say that my father is dead. I don't believe it. Mom, tell me this is not true." Song Ziling sobbed in Shen Wan's arms.
Shen Wan's eyes were filled with tears and she said with a smile: "Mom doesn't believe it either. You want to see people while you are alive, and you want to see his body after death. As long as you don't see your father's bones for a day, it doesn't prove that your father is dead."
"Dad is not dead?" Song Ziling raised his face full of tears and looked at his mother.
Shen Wan wiped the tears on her son's face with a handkerchief and said, "If we can't find the bones, it doesn't prove that your father is really dead. It also means that your father may still be alive."
Song Ziling nodded and said, "Yes, if we can't find the body, it won't prove that my father is dead."
Mom was right when she said that she wanted to see the person alive and the body should be seen dead. She didn't find his father's body, so why would he say his father was dead? Maybe his father was injured and couldn't move, waiting for them to find him!
Yun Qingyang looked on and shook his head silently. He could understand the mood of Mrs. Shen and Zi Ling, but General Song was probably gone.
After having lunch at the villa, Yun Qingyang left.
In the afternoon, Qiao Mu and Song Ziyu came to the villa, and Shen Wan cheered up to meet them.
"Madam, Master" Qiao Mu saw Shen Wan's pale face and Song Ziling's unswollen eyes, and knew that they had already cried.
Song Ziyu's eyes were also red and swollen, and his face was pale and full of sadness.
"Is the old lady okay?" Shen Wan looked at Qiao Mu and asked.
Qiao Mu shook his head.
"No, grandma is not well at all. She fell ill. She was very ill. She refused to take medicine and said she wanted to go with my father. Wuwu..." After that, Song Ziyu covered her mouth and started crying.
Her mother is gone, her father is dead, and her grandma no longer wants to live. She will no longer have anyone to protect her. This change happened so fast that she was caught off guard and unable to accept it.
Hearing this, Shen Wan frowned. The old lady really couldn't bear such a big blow.
"Miss..." Seeing Song Ziyu crying like this, Qiu Ju felt very sad and hurriedly stepped forward and patted her back gently with her hand.
Song Ziyu turned around, hugged Qiu Ju, and cried on her shoulder.
