Chapter 176 - Generations of Loyalty
"Wuqing, the Song family has been loyal to the country for generations and has never produced any treacherous people. Li'er has the blood of the Song family in her body. I have held her in my arms and watched her grow up since she was a child. I know her temper very well. She will definitely not do anything to hurt Nanyue!" Song Yunshi gently wiped the tears that had just rolled down with the back of her hand.
Feng Yixuan felt very complicated, not knowing whether he should tell Song Yun the truth. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to tell it. Forcing the emperor to abdicate and seize the throne was a big deal, and there could be no mistakes in any link. He couldn't gamble with the lives of so many people.
"Yun'er, she was only nine years old when you and I left the palace. Can you say that we watched her grow up? And do you know who appeared in her life afterwards, and what things did she go through?"
"I..." Song Yunshi suddenly didn't know how to refute.
"Besides, the blood flowing in her body is not from the Song family." After saying this, his eyes looked straight at Song Yunshi.
"Feng Yixuan, are you confused after sleeping? Do you know what nonsense you are talking about?" Song Yunshi widened his eyes and yelled out of control.
Feng Yixuan knew that she must be very angry. Over the years, she had always liked to call him Wuqing or husband, and would only shout his full name when she was extremely angry.
"Yun'er, I'm not talking nonsense. Your mother gave birth to a baby boy, but he was too weak and died on the same day. It was on that day that your father saved the life of a woman holding the baby. The baby was Li'er, and the woman was Qingmo, the mistress next door to the old Song family mansion."
With a bang, Song Yunshi took a few steps back and dropped the porcelain plate to the ground in panic. She was a little dumbfounded. There was no reason for Wuqing to make up a story to lie to her. Her parents had mentioned the Xiao couple in the letter they sent to the palace. They took Li'er as their apprentice and treated her as if she were their own daughter.
"Yun'er..." Feng Yixuan wanted to reach out to help her, but she waved him away.
"Wuqing, I need some quiet time alone. Please help me cook these dishes." After saying that, he pushed Feng Yixuan away and ran out of the kitchen like a fly.
In the other room, Mu Ziyan was in deep self-blame. How could the thing that her fifth brother entrusted to her when he was in danger be an ordinary little gift? She must find a way to get it back.
"Aunt Jiu, can you teach Jiujiu to dance the sacrificial sword dance?" Feng Shijiu's voice sounded.
Mu Ziyan was startled, and when he raised his head, a magnified pretty face appeared in front of him. If Feng Shijiu moved two inches forward, their noses would probably be touching.
"That sword dance is actually very simple. If you like it, I can teach you now." Mu Ziyan curled his lips slightly and touched Feng Shijiu's head. Unexpectedly, Feng Shijiu was pulled away by Feng Muyan by the collar after just a few touches. "Li'er, you stay in the room and rest first. I'll take this kid out for practice."
After the uncle and nephew's backs disappeared from her sight, Mu Ziyan slowly withdrew her gaze and stared at the teacup in her hand in a daze, wondering what was in the box and why she felt a little wary from her fifth brother.
"Li'er, after not seeing each other for so many years, you and your brother are no longer close! You would rather sit there in a daze than talk to me!" Song Yuntian's sour voice sounded, and then he took out a piece of crystal cake from somewhere and handed it to Mu Ziyan.
"Thank you, big brother." Mu Ziyan took the crystal cake from Song Yuntian's hand with a slight smile on his lips, then put it in his mouth and chewed it gently. The smile in his bright black eyes became more and more intense.
Song Yuntian reached out his hand and rubbed her hair, then laughed out loud, "Little girl, why are you still saying thank you to me? We have been so distant for so many years. If you really want to thank me, you can give me two jars of wine, please?"
Mu Ziyan stuffed the remaining crystal cake into his mouth, brushed off the crumbs on his hands, then pulled Song Yuntian and ran out, finally stopping under the old tree next to the gate.
"Li'er, why did you bring me here?" Song Yuntian looked up at the old tree in confusion, but didn't find anything wrong. Then he turned to look at Mu Ziyan beside him.
Mu Ziyan just smiled and said nothing, squatted down, picked up a handful of yellow soil and smeared it on Song Yuntian's face, and then smeared the remaining soil unevenly on Song Yuntian's robe. Seeing that Song Yuntian had been almost destroyed by her, Mu Ziyan pushed open the door and pulled him towards the Song family's old house.
"This..." Standing at the door of the Song family's old house, Song Yuntian's eyes were a little red. How did this girl know that he wanted to come back? She is such a little girl who likes to guess people's thoughts. She is not as cute as she was when she was a child!
