After the banquet, Song Heng returned home with his two children. On the carriage, he wanted to say a few words to his daughter, but he couldn't hold it back because he felt uncomfortable thinking about her being ridiculed.
When the carriage arrived at the General's Mansion, Song Ziyu jumped out of the carriage first, without saying hello to her father and uncle, and went directly back to the Jade Pavilion. When she returned to the Jade Pavilion, she took off all the jewelry she had reached and threw it on the ground.
Song Heng returned to Qiushi Courtyard, and Shen Wan had already finished bathing and was leaning on the couch.
"What did you eat at night?" Song Heng asked while taking off his outer clothes and looking at Shen Wan who was lazily leaning on the couch.
"Shabu-shabu." Today's fat beef is very fresh, and it's not too delicious when you eat it in a shabu-shabu.
Qiu Ju also said that when the weather gets cooler, she will sell shabu-shabu in Zhaixing Building. Today, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were few people eating outside and the building was not busy, so Qiu Ju came back first. After dinner, she and Qiao Mu led She went out with her mother and Yinghua to enjoy the lanterns.
"How are you in the palace today? Nothing happened, right?" Shen Wan looked at Song Heng and asked.
Song Heng hesitated for a moment and told Shen Wan everything that happened in the palace today.
After listening to what he said, Shen Wan frowned. She didn't quite understand Song Ziyu's confusing behavior. However, it might be that she was too concerned about face and felt that Zi Ling's blunder did not understand the rules and had lost the face of the Song family. Will jump out and scold, although this is not necessary.
Hui'er prepared the bath water, and Song Heng went into the cubicle to take a bath.
After bathing, he lay down next to Shen Wan and slept until midnight. Shen Wan's calf cramps woke her up in pain. Song Heng got up and rubbed her for a long time.
The next day, neither Song Ziling nor Song Ziyu had to go to class. After dinner in the morning, Shen Wan asked Hui'er to call Song Ziyu. She planned to talk to the child.
Song Ziling was about to go out. As soon as he reached the entrance of the courtyard gate, he saw his sister coming. He immediately changed his face and stepped aside far away, not calling her sister.
Song Ziyu naturally knew why he had such an attitude, and walked into the yard with his chin raised as if he had not seen him.
Shen Wan, who was standing in the corridor, took a clear look and frowned again.
"Mother." Song Ziyu stood at the foot of the steps and looked at Shen Wan and called out.
Shen Wan nodded and said with a smile: "It's a good day. Let's go to the garden with my wife!"
"Okay." Song Ziyu was a little confused about what her mother wanted to do. She originally thought that her mother sent someone to call her because she wanted to talk to her about what happened in the palace yesterday! But now she is asked to accompany her. She went for a walk in the garden.
Shen Wan walked down the steps and stretched out her hand to hold Song Ziyu, but Song Ziyu folded her hands on her waist and did not stretch out her hand.
Shen Wan looked at her left hand and retracted it awkwardly.
Shen Wan walked in front, Song Ziyu walked behind, and the mother and son left the Qiushi courtyard and entered the garden.
When they arrived in the garden, Shen Wan supported her waist with her hands and walked slowly in front. Song Ziyu followed behind and did not walk side by side with her.
When she reached the pavilion, Shen Wan stopped, turned her head and looked at Song Ziyu and said, "Let's go sit in the pavilion!"
