Li and Liu held hands and sat down on the main seats. Shen Wan, Shen Ming and Chu Ling all sat on the chairs at the lower right.
"You're the only one here, but my father-in-law is not here?" Mrs. Liu asked Mrs. Li when she didn't see Mr. Shen's father.
Ms. Li smiled and said, "He didn't come. School has already started and he has to teach the children."
Although the child's father really wanted to go to the imperial city to see his daughter, the private school really couldn't leave him.
"Hi..." Mrs. Liu said: "Your Ming'er has won the first prize and will stay in the imperial city in the future. What else can my father-in-law teach? Your family has moved to the imperial city and we will stay together. What a great place to be!”
Now that there is no Heng'er in the mansion, Ling'er's child will leave in a few days, so she feels that the mansion is very deserted. If her relatives all moved to the imperial city and lived in the general's mansion, she would have a child of the same age. People chatter.
Moreover, she, an old woman with poor health, could not help Wan'er much, but she had two in-laws who could still help her.
"Ming'er also told us this, but Wan'er's father really couldn't let go of the children in the village and was unwilling to come to the imperial city. I came to the imperial city to see Wan'er because I couldn't worry about her. After she gave birth, I want to go back too." I have to stay in the Imperial City for at least a year. Without her at home, I wonder what Wan'er's father will do.
"You want to go back?" Mrs. Liu said, "Let my father-in-law come to the imperial city after teaching this year!" Instead of teaching in the countryside, it is better to come to the imperial city to enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren!
"He can't cook well, what will happen if I don't go back? What a person he is! He just can't let go of the students in the village. If my private school is closed, it will be difficult for the children in the surrounding villages to study. So if I don't wait until he teaches He will not come to the Imperial City when he is not a student." Before coming, she also entrusted her husband's three meals a day to the neighbor who lived next door, and paid all the food expenses for a year.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "My father-in-law is really a good gentleman who thinks about his students!"
Shen Wan admires men like her father who choose to stay in the countryside and teach for the sake of their children's education.
Mr. Liu rarely chatted with people of his own age. Now that Mr. Liu was here, the two held hands and chatted for a long time before letting go.
Butler Yun had someone clean up a spacious courtyard for Li, and also assigned a mother-in-law and a maid to serve her.
After chatting with Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Li went to the yard to rest for a while.
In the evening, Ms. Liu asked the kitchen to prepare a table of delicious dishes for Ms. Li.
When Song Ziyu and Song Ziling came back from school, they went to the courtyard where Mr. Li lived to meet their grandmother.
Song Ziling has been raised by Shen Wan for a long time, and the little mouth has been raised to be very sweet. She misses and likes her grandmother every time, and makes Mrs. Li smile from ear to ear.
Song Ziyu seemed a little distant, so she called her grandmother to salute, accepted the greeting gift and thanked her. After all, she hadn't seen her for several years, and she couldn't get close to her grandmother for a while.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li didn't think much, just thinking that the girl was too shy and embarrassed.
After dinner in the evening and chatting with Mrs. Liu for a while, Mrs. Li followed Shen Wan back to Qiushi Courtyard.
Shen Ming knew that his mother had not seen her sister for so many years, so she might have a lot to say about her. So he took Ling'er and Zi Ling to his courtyard and gave them the specialties he brought from Luoshui.
After entering the main room, Mrs. Li sat on the couch and looked around.
He frowned and said, "You live in this courtyard, why is it so small?"
This yard looks worse than the yard that was built for her.
Seeing this courtyard, she felt that when Song Heng was married to an equal wife, he bullied her daughter and drove her into this small courtyard.
Shen Wan was afraid that she would think too much, so she said: "As soon as my daughter entered the general's mansion, she fell in love with the courtyard. The courtyard is a bit small, but it is warm and cozy. My daughter likes it very much."
Mrs. Li nodded, it turned out that was the case, it seemed that she was overthinking.
"How old is my little grandson?" Ms. Li looked at her daughter's slightly protruding belly.
Shen Wan touched her belly lovingly and said, "It's been more than three months."
"It's the end of April now." Ms. Li counted the days and said, "The child was born in winter, so I will serve you for confinement and go back after the New Year."
Shen Wan thought for a moment and said, "When the time comes, let's bring dad to the Imperial City to celebrate the New Year together! We can also let him see his little grandson."
Li lowered his head and thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll go back with him after the Chinese New Year. Don't worry, your father didn't come to the imperial city, but he would miss you in his heart. If it weren't for the private school, If you can't leave, he must come to see you."
Shen Wan smiled and nodded: "Every daughter knows."
"I heard that you are planning to pay tribute to Song Heng on the second day of May?" Although she didn't want to make her daughter sad by mentioning Song Heng, there were some things she still wanted to say.
"Yeah," Shen Wan nodded.
Mrs. Li took her hand and said: "Don't think so much in the future. People can't be resurrected. Excessive thinking will hurt your own body. Mom, I heard what your brother said. You have become successful. Why don't you start your career?" You have a business. You don’t need anything now, just provide for Mr. Liu in his old age and raise the children."
"Don't worry, mother," Shen Wan put her hand on the back of Mrs. Li's hand, looked at her and said, "My daughter doesn't want to think about anything else right now. She just wants to give birth to this child safely and raise all the children to be successful."
"You can feel relieved if you think so. If I had known that Song Heng would change his mind, I would never have agreed to marry you to him." When their Wan'er married into the Song family, she was marrying down. At that time, the city I don’t know how many young masters from rich families have asked to marry her Wan’er. If not for the two children’s love for each other, Song Heng seems to be honest and reliable, and Mrs. Liu is also capable and generous, and is not a mother-in-law who would mistreat her daughter-in-law. Song Heng seems to be honest and reliable. Heng also promised to be good to Wan'er for the rest of his life. She was the only one who would never let her down, and they would not marry Wan'er to Song Heng.
"Mom, actually, Song Heng hasn't changed his mind. It's just because his daughter can't live with it. He doesn't want to marry Lin Qingxue, but the emperor granted her a marriage, so he can't do it. Then Lin Qingxue's father has saved his life. , he would be ungrateful if he didn't marry. Although he married Lin Qingxue, his heart for me has never changed at all." Shen Wan did not expect that one day she would speak for Song Heng.
"It's because my daughter feels resentful and doesn't want to have a good life with him. In addition, Mr. Lin is restless, so he and I have reached the stage of reconciliation."
Mrs. Li sighed and said: "Then I wronged him. By the way, I heard people said that Mrs. Lin died of illness? People outside also said that her death was related to you?"
Shen Wan said: "She is not dead. Song Heng was originally going to send her to Zhuangzi before he was alive. After Song Heng died, I gave her the choice of going to Zhuangzi or leaving with the divorce letter. She chose the latter. , she probably wanted to change her identity and find a good family, so she asked me to announce that she died of illness."
Mrs. Li frowned when she heard this and said, "You didn't do this well. She didn't want to be a widow, so she took the divorce letter and left. How could you agree to her and tell the outside world that she died of illness? !Song Heng is gone. As soon as you came back, she died of illness. In addition, you and her were not on good terms in the past. No one would think that she died innocently."
Shen Wan shrank her neck and whispered: "I didn't think about it that much at the time."
"You!" Mrs. Li reached out and poked her between the eyebrows and said, "I hope Mrs. Lin can live a good life under her new identity and don't come back again in the future, saying that you kicked her out because you claimed Song Heng was not here. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to speak clearly when the time comes.”
Hearing what her mother Li said, Shen Wan felt that she had really been negligent. She had never thought about these possibilities. However, Mrs. Lin took the divorce letter and left, so she probably won't come back again!
What neither Li nor Shen Wan expected was that Li's prophecy would come true later.
Shen Wan hugged Mrs. Li coquettishly and said, "It would be great if mother could come earlier, I wouldn't do that."
"You are so old, and you are still acting like a baby in front of your mother." Ms. Li cursed, but she patted her daughter's back gently with her hand.
Shen Wan buried her head in Mrs. Li's arms and said, "Not big, not big, I'm only twenty-seven!"
Ever since she could remember, she had never acted coquettishly in front of her mother. Now that she had a mother, she naturally wanted to enjoy the feeling of being coquettish.
"What's twenty-seven? You're already twenty-eight, and you only had your birthday in January. How could you forget it so soon?"
"My birthday is in January?" Shen Wan asked, she had really forgotten that the original owner's birthday was in January.
"Yes!" Mrs. Li said: "January 18th, have you forgotten that there are no birthdays this year?"
"I really forgot that I happened to move to Izumo Villa at that time. Everyone has forgotten that even if I am twenty-eight, I am still young." Even if she is thirty years old, she is still a baby.
Mrs. Li touched her daughter's head and said with a smile: "Some people as old as you have become grandmothers."
"Grandma?" Shen Wan let go of Li, looked at her and said, "Being a grandma at twenty-eight is too exaggerated!"
"Are you exaggerating? Your cousin Chunhua is one year older than you. She became a grandmother last year, and her grandson is already one year old." It is not uncommon to become a grandmother at the age of twenty-eight.
