Lin Mengya thoughtfully looked at the Song couple, and with a heart full of questions, she returned to the courtyard.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Li Wu Shuang supporting Baisu, strolling around the courtyard.
But the atmosphere between the two of them was strange.
Li Wu Shuang's ears were red, but the corners of his mouth were hanging in a smile.
As for her Baisu, although she didn't look any different from before, her body was obviously a little stiff.
Overall, the atmosphere was awkward, but there was also a little bit of ambiguity.
Lin Mengya stood at the door for a while before the two people in the courtyard finally noticed her.
The two of them were like a young boy and girl caught in a puppy love, they separated in an instant, their eyes darting around, not knowing which side to look at.
Lin Mengya smilingly walked in, and deliberately asked, "What were you two doing just now?"
"No, nothing." Li Wu Shuang stuttered as he explained, glanced at Baisu, and added, "I was thinking that in a few days, I would have to let Miss Baisu come out to meet people, so I taught her how Ziming used to walk."
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
She dragged the last word, deliberately teasing the two.
Seeing that the two of them were blushing all the way to their ears, she stopped teasing them.
Instead, she brought up what had just happened.
As a child of this family, Li Wu Shuang naturally understood the disaster that sister-in-law Tang had brought to this family.
He couldn't help but angrily say, "I knew it, she didn't have any good intentions!
When my mother kicked her out of this family, she always harbored resentment, and wanted to take revenge on my mother.
Isn't this just like pouring salt on the old couple's wounds! "
Although this was the truth, Lin Mengya still couldn't help but worriedly ask, "Does sister-in-law Tang actually know that Song Ziming has already passed away?"
"This …"
Li Wu Shuang said with some hesitation, "The Song family is very tight-lipped, she probably doesn't know the exact news, but only suspects."
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes.
It seemed that sister-in-law Tang's action just now was to confirm the exact news about Song Ziming.
"Since they are so anxious, then why don't we go along with their plan." Lin Mengya said.
Behind him, Bai Su and Li Wu Shuang looked at him curiously, not knowing what their master was going to do next.
In Song Town, everyone knew that Song Ziming, the only son of the Song Family's old couple in the old house on West Street, had been ill for several years and had not left the house.
Everyone in the town was guessing whether this Young Master Song was still alive or not.
Unfortunately, the Song couple were very reclusive. Other than some necessary purchases, they rarely interacted with outsiders.
Even the old servants in their house were like gourds with their mouths cut off. No one could get any information out of them.
There were many rumors about them in the small town. Even so, most people were just curious. Only a few people were full of malice towards the Song couple.
"In my opinion, that sickly Song Ziming is definitely dead."
Sister-in-law Tang sat at the intersection and grabbed a handful of melon seeds. As she ate, she excitedly talked about Song Jia.
"You don't know this, but when that kid was born, he was just like that big rat.
All these years, if it weren't for the Song Family's gold and silver mountain, he wouldn't have lived until now if he didn't eat ginseng like a carrot every day! "
Someone who was with Sister-in-law Tang immediately teased her, "Gold and silver mountain, so what? Back then, you almost climbed onto the Song Family's bed.
Didn't that Madam Song kick you out of the Song Family's bed?
If you really have that kind of ability, then at least half of the Song Family's property will be yours. "
These words stabbed at Sister-in-law Tang's heart.
She rolled her eyes and spat out the melon seed shells all over the floor.
"That's because I don't want it!"
"But now, Song Ziming is dying. Madam Song is so old, she can't give birth to a second child.
I say, Sister-in-law Tang, why don't you try? If you can help Master Song continue the family line, then wouldn't all the Song Family's property be yours? "
Other people were just making fun of her, but Sister-in-law Tang rolled her eyes and said, "I'm as clean as ice and as clean as jade. Even if Master Song wanted to marry me, he would have to go through eight sedan chairs and get married legally."
"I think you're just daydreaming!"
The people next to her burst into laughter.
But Sister-in-law Tang's little plan worked.
Seeing that everyone had changed the topic, she felt bored and got up to go back to her central room.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw a man in black standing in her yard.
"Aiyo, my Heavenly Emperor, why did you suddenly come? You scared me to death!"
Sister-in-law Tang gently touched her chest and pretended to be charming as she threw a few coquettish glances at the man and complained.
Unfortunately, the man in black did not fall for it at all. He asked coldly, "Have you figured out whether Song Ziming is dead or not?"
Sister-in-law Tang rolled her eyes, "You want me to do things for you without giving me money? What do you think I am?"
The man impatiently threw out a silver ingot.
Sister-in-law Tang immediately picked it up happily, carefully wiped off the dust on it, and bit it to test its quality.
Then she put it in her inner pocket and said to the man with a charming smile, "Even if Song Ziming is not dead, he won't have many days to live.
Yesterday, I went to their house and said that I wanted to be a matchmaker for him and let him marry a concubine. Mrs. Song refused no matter what I said. I think it must be because Song Ziming is dead. "
The man frowned and said coldly, "Did you see him die?"
"No. That old woman is very strict with the house, so I didn't get a chance to go in."
The black-clothed man immediately said unhappily, "I gave you the money in order to give me a definite news. If you don't tell me the news of Song Ziming's death within three days, I will take the money back the way you took it."
After that, the man in black quickly left.
Sister-in-law Tang looked at him with hatred, but there was nothing she could do.
"Damn the Song Family, I must have owed you in my previous life!"
She went back to the central room and carefully thought about how to plot against the Song Family.
After thinking about it, she finally came up with a way.
The next day, Sister-in-law Tang dressed up gorgeously and went to the Song Family happily.
"Greetings to Master and Madam."
Mrs. Song's good mood immediately disappeared when she saw Sister-in-law Tang's flattering face.
She coldly scolded the gatekeeper who chased after her.
"Didn't I tell you? Don't let anyone into the house in the future. "
The gatekeeper said helplessly, "She wanted to break in. I couldn't stop her."
Sister-in-law Tang glanced at Mrs. Song proudly, as if she didn't see her attitude towards her. She said with a smile, "Madam, don't be angry. I'm just worried about our young master.
He was about to turn twenty, although his body was still young
Although his body is not good, it's time to think about children.
Unlike that useless thing in my family, who made me a grandmother when she was only sixteen or seventeen.
Even if the old lady is not worried, the master should be worried, right?
After all, everyone in this town is looking at Master Song! "
The implication was that she accused Song Ziming of having no children, which would make Master Song unable to raise his head in front of the villagers.
Although Mrs. Song was furious, she had to take care of her master's reputation.
"I will take care of our family's affairs. You don't need to be a busybody!"
Sister-in-law Tang said with a fake smile, "Madam Song, do you think I really want to meddle in your family's affairs?
Second Granduncle saw that you were not worried, so he asked me to come and help.
I will tell Second Granduncle tomorrow that even he can't meddle in the Song Family's affairs, let alone me! "
Mrs. Song gritted her teeth in anger.
Second Granduncle of the Song Family was the most senior elder in the town.
Although they didn't have much contact with their relatives, if they really provoked public anger, they would suffer from a mouthful of spittle from everyone.
Second Great Uncle's old eyes were blurred, how could he believe the words of such a frivolous woman?
Mrs. Song felt a little heartache, but she had to force herself to deal with the other party.
"I will explain things to Second Great Uncle. Now, leave immediately!"
However, Sister-in-law Tang used Second Granduncle's name to show off even more.
"I can leave if you want. No matter what, I am Ziming's aunt.
Call him out, I want to explain this matter to him personally, so that in the future, that fellow will blame me for not doing my best in this aspect, and make things difficult for me both inside and outside. "
Mrs. Song slammed the table and pointed at Sister-in-law Tang. "Don't think that I have to tolerate you just because you have Second Granduncle as your backing.
This is our Song Family. Who do you think you are? How dare you act wildly in front of me! "
When it came to scolding, her cousin's wife was naturally not inferior.
She put her hands on her hips and said in a loud voice, "What about me? I have broken my legs and my mouth for your family's affairs. Not only do you not appreciate my kindness, you don't even know the rules.
No matter what, Ziming is still a junior. I have come here for his affairs time and time again to be bullied by you, but he doesn't even show his face. Is this how the Song Family teaches you? "
"You …"
Old Man Song pointed at her and couldn't even speak properly.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, a figure suddenly walked in from outside.
"Auntie, look what I've brought for you."
Lin Mengya saw Mrs. Song and Sister-in-law Tang, whose faces were green with anger.
The smile on his face immediately disappeared. He quickly walked to Madam Song's side and tried to calm her down.
"What's going on? Someone come and see what's wrong with my aunt? "
Mrs. Song waved her hand.
"I'm fine. Why are you here?"
Lin Mengya then remembered what she had brought. She opened it with a smile and put it in front of Mrs. Song.
"Look, this is a painting of winter plum blossoms that my cousin just drew.
I heard from Sister-in-law that this year's plum blossoms may not be so good. My cousin's health has improved recently. I thought that you like to appreciate plum blossoms, so I drew this painting. From now on, I will put it in your room so that you can admire it day and night. What do you think? "
Hearing that it was Song Ziming's painting, Sister-in-law Tang couldn't help but look at it.
