Song Tanxi got Qing Hui's permission and had her and her brother sent back to Uncle Song's home.
Second Uncle Song did not have an official position, he was just a merchant. During this disaster, he kept running around to donate money and food. He should not have been punished originally, but he was implicated by the Song Prefect and had him imprisoned.
Now that the officials in Lingzhou have been interrogated, their family members have basically been released and their property has been returned.
But after three years of drought, even the second uncle of Song Dynasty was doing business, and there was not much money left.
In fact, the Song family was already stretched thin and could no longer afford the funeral. It was Second Aunt Song who took out her dowry to organize Magistrate Song's funeral.
Uncle Song, who was busy arranging funeral arrangements, was very surprised when he saw Song Tanxi coming back: "Why is Axi back? Where is the noble lady?"
"Thank you for your hard work, uncle. My master asked me to bring Ting'er back. I don't know when Ting'er will wake up, but I will always come back to see my father off." Song Tanxi said.
Second Uncle Song's eyes were red, and he nodded and said: "Our Song family, thanks to your grace, if not for this, not only would my eldest brother die with a peaceful eye, but your grandparents would also not be able to survive. Go in and see your father off, he will go away peacefully, and so will you."
Don’t be too sad.”
"I know, Second Uncle." Song Tanxi thanked Second Uncle Song and asked people to carefully place Song Yunting, changed into mourning clothes, and then went to the mourning hall.
There were not many cries in the mourning hall. Mrs. Song stood guard, burning paper and looking at the coffin in trance.
Song Tanxi came in, kowtowed to her father first, and then knelt down next to Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Song was also surprised: "Why are you back? I told you this afternoon that you don't need to worry about your father's affairs. There are so many people in the family."
"Your Majesty asked me to come back and give my father a ride." Song Tanxi told Mrs. Song what she had just said to Uncle Song. Mrs. Song thanked her profusely and her tears started to flow.
"Xi'er, Mom has really been reluctant to let go of your father in this life, but today she sent him away with peace of mind. From now on, you and Ting'er will have your own future. This is the fate of our family, and Mom can't do anything to help.
I don't know if we can meet again in the future." Mrs. Song held Song Tanxi's hand, "But don't worry about Mom, Mom won't do stupid things. Your grandparents and grandparents also suffered a lot after this, and Mom still has to take care of them.
.You still have your second uncle and second aunt at home, so I don’t have to worry about having no one to take care of you in your old age."
"So you can go about your business with peace of mind. Mom used to wish that our family would be safe and sound, but now, everyone has their own destiny. As long as our family's hearts remain together, we will always be together."
Mrs. Song is an open-minded person. If not, she would not be able to teach a daughter like Song Tanxi.
Song Tanxi didn't need to say much to know that her mother would support all her decisions.
She nodded: "Mom, if you can repay your favor, Xi'er's life will not be in vain. It's just that I can't stay with you in the future. Please forgive me."
"Silly girl, there are some truths that my mother can't understand. But after this incident, my mother also thought that it is important for her daughter's family to marry a good family, but if something unexpected happens, she should take good care of herself. You have the ability to stand on your own.
Why should we care about the unsatisfactory marriage?" Mrs. Song also felt sorry for her daughter, but the Song family was almost wiped out due to the difficulties. Everyone has their own fate, who can say that it is not a good thing for Xi'er to leave a family like the Pei family?
?
I don't know if it was a coincidence or something, but as soon as Mrs. Song finished speaking, there was an argument outside the door.
