Within two hours, everyone in the general's palace knew that the young master was the ninth prince of Nanyue. Of course, they also knew by the way that the madam was pushed down by the former eldest lady in Mingde Building, and she Being rescued by Emperor Nanyue.
Mrs. Liu was shocked when she heard about it. She went to Qiushi Courtyard in person and was relieved to see that she was fine.
"Didn't Heng'er say that the child was an orphan of a soldier? How come he became the ninth prince of Nanyue?" Mrs. Liu sat on a chair and looked at Shen Wan and asked.
Shen Wan replied: "I insisted on adopting Ling'er. My relationship with my mother was not very good at that time. I guess you, husband, were afraid that my mother would know that the child's identity was unknown and that I wanted to adopt it, so I disagreed. I just lied to you, mother, saying that the child was an orphan of a soldier."
Mrs. Liu looked embarrassed and whispered: "How could I disagree!"
Although she said this, she knew very well in her heart that if she had known at that time that Shen Wan insisted on adopting this child of unknown origin, she would never have agreed.
Mrs. Liu looked at Shen Wan and said, "The child is lucky to have met you." Otherwise, he would not know where he would be suffering now! His brother couldn't find him so easily.
Shen Wan smiled and said nothing.
Mrs. Liu was silent for a moment, then looked up at Shen Wan and said, "How about we build a tomb for Heng'er?"
"Mother?" Shen Wan looked at Mrs. Liu with wide eyes.
Mrs. Liu's eyes turned red, she grabbed Shen Wan's hand and choked, "It's time for us to accept reality."
These days, she has accepted the reality. If Heng'er was really still alive, she would have been found long ago. The court sent people to search for it for so long but still couldn't find it. It was obvious that Heng'er's bones had been fed to the fish in the river.
Although the body cannot be laid to rest without the bones, setting up a burial mound and paying homage to Heng'er by burning some paper money can also make Heng'er feel better down there. Only down below will he know that they are all thinking of him!
Shen Wan bit her lip and her eyes were red.
She also knew very well in her heart that not recognizing Song Heng's death without seeing the body was just her obsession. Perhaps everyone had accepted the reality that Song Heng was dead, but she was the only one who was not willing to accept it.
Perhaps, she should also accept reality.
Shen Wan said softly "Okay!"
By chance, Ling'er was still in Dongchen, and after calling him daddy for so long, he asked Ling'er to give him a ride.
After hearing what she said, Mr. Liu smiled at first, and then shed tears.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands and cried.
Mrs. Liu asked someone to check the date and set the day of mourning on the second day of May. She also asked Butler Yun to spread the news.
When people outside heard the news, they all said in their hearts: "The Song family is finally willing to accept the reality and decided to mourn."
That night, Chu Ling did not come back, but stayed with Chu Xiao and Nanyue ministers in the palace in the east of the city.
The next day, not only did Chu Ling not come back, but Wu Yi also left.
In the evening, the family had dinner in Liu's courtyard.
Song Ziling was eating her meal and asked, "Mom, do you think Ling'er will not come back?"
After school yesterday, he heard that Ling'er was the prince of Nanyue, so he hurried home and wanted to find Ling'er to ask what was going on. But Ling'er was not there. He didn't come back at night and didn't come back today either.
Song Ziyu said: "He has lived in our house for so long. Even if he is leaving, he should come back and say a serious goodbye to us!"
After all, her mother was his savior! She heard from people that the rebels from Chu State had been chasing him! If her mother hadn't saved him and let him be protected by the General's Mansion, he would have been killed long ago. He was killed by the rebel.
Mrs. Liu said: "That boy is a good boy who knows how to repay his kindness. He should come back."
Thinking that the child was about to leave, she felt really reluctant to let him go!
"He should be back in two days," Shen Wan said, "He and his imperial brother haven't seen each other for so long, and they want to have a good talk."
Song Ziling said "Oh" and said nothing while eating his rice.
Today, when he was in the academy, many people came to fawn over him! They said that he was lucky to have the ninth prince of Nanyue as his younger brother. They also said that the Song family would be supported by the Nanyue royal family in the future, and the emperor was afraid that he would have to give it to them in the future. Three-thirds thin noodles.
The next day, not only did Chu Ling come back, the emperor of Nanyue even came to visit him personally.
Hearing the news, Shen Wan hurriedly went to see Mrs. Liu and went out with her to meet Emperor Nanyue. Mrs. Liu even changed her clothes specially.
When he arrived at the door, he saw Nanyue Emperor Chu Xiao standing at the foot of the steps wearing a golden dragon-patterned robe. The morning light shone on him, and his whole body seemed to be glowing, very dazzling.
