The Wang family was so nervous and panicked after hearing the news that Old Lady Wang, who didn't want to get involved in the matter at first, had to ask Master Wang and his wife to go and check on Song Shiyi after discussing it with him. They were all in-laws, and such a big thing had happened, and it had become a big deal and known to everyone. It would be too much if there was no response.
Not only did the Wang family get the news, but by the evening, everyone who should have heard the news had heard it.
While Old Mrs. Su was pondering, news came from outside that Mrs. He had arrived, so she hurriedly asked someone to go and greet her with a lantern, and she also asked someone to invite Su Yao and Su Rong to come over.
When Su Yao arrived, Mrs. He was also supporting Nanny Huang's hand and walking to the gate of Kangping Garden. When she saw Su Yao, she finally smiled slightly and took Su Yao's hand and walked into the yard together.
Old Madam Su was leaning on the kang. When she saw Madam He and Su Yao coming in, she told Yu Xia to serve tea and said to Madam He, "I knew you would come. Come and sit down. It looks like you have to stay here for the night."
Mrs. He didn't bother to be polite with her. She stepped onto the kang and pushed the tea that Yu Xia handed to her. She waited until Su Rong came and all the servants had left before she frowned and told her the news about the accident at the Song family that she had heard today.
Su Rong looked at Mrs. He very keenly and said calmly, "Song Heng actually had a bad relationship with the other members of the Song family from the beginning. He was not brought home until he was two years old by Marquis Guangping. I heard that because of this, the wife of Marquis Guangping's son almost committed suicide..."
This incident indeed caused a big stir at that time, and the son of Marquis Guangping was even impeached by the censor.
But no matter how things went on inside, the Guangping Marquisate eventually acknowledged Song Heng's identity, gave him a seniority ranking, and held a family recognition banquet.
However, over the years, Song Heng spent most of his time marching outside with the son of Marquis Guangping and rarely returned to the capital. When he occasionally came back, he never appeared with other people from the Children's Palace family.
Although Su Rong had only studied in the academy because of his disability, he knew that the younger generations of the Song family were very repulsive when talking about Song Heng.
After Song Heng began to return to Beijing at the end of the year before last, he quickly became famous in the capital. Everyone knew that he was a first-class playboy, and the relationship between the Song family members became even worse.
Su Rong thought about this and said, "So, such a big incident has happened. Regardless of what other people say, the other people in the Song family will definitely think that it was Song Heng who attacked Song Shiyi."
This is the truth. Mrs. Wang Wu can tell how other members of the Song family feel about Song Heng.
Mrs. He couldn't help but frowned even tighter: "Song Heng is not that kind of person!"
Su Rong had been observing the reactions of Mrs. He and Old Lady Su. When he heard her say this, he was startled at first, and then he thought: "How did my wife know this? Could it be that she has some connection with the Song family?"
Mrs. He was stunned.
Old Madam Su also seemed a little anxious. She shook her head and explained before Madam He: "What she meant was that although Song Heng has a bad reputation outside, he actually knows how to act properly. As we can see from the Black Bear case, he is actually very smart. How could such a person frame Song Shiyi? What good would it do him?"
Su Yao had been silent until he heard this and suddenly said, "I heard that someone recently proposed offering sacrifices to the crown prince's mausoleum."
The room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Mrs. He looked at Su Yao in disbelief, her eyes full of shock and confusion, and even a hint of fear that she herself didn't even notice. She asked Su Yao loudly, "Yaoyao, what do you mean?"
Although Mrs. Su's reaction was not as intense as Mrs. He's, it was still quite intense - she didn't hold the teacup firmly in her hand, and it fell on the table with a clang.
Su Rong observed, then a frown appeared between his brows, and his eyes moved back and forth between the three people.
Su Yao sighed.
She never told the whole truth to Mrs. He and Old Lady Su because she knew they might not be able to accept what she said. But at the same time, weren't Old Lady Su and Mrs. He also hiding important things from her
Now is the time to remove this vague barrier in the middle.
"I also heard that there are recent rumors that the Crown Princess had actually given birth to a baby boy before she died, and had her confidants send him away secretly." Su Yao's voice was so low that even Old Lady Su and Mrs. He, who were in the room with her, had to work hard to hear clearly what she was saying.
As she heard it clearly, Mrs. He's face changed drastically, and she shouted excitedly: "Yaoyao!"
What else doesn't Su Rong understand
He was very surprised that his previous test had yielded such a result. The news was so shocking that even though he was always quick-witted, he remained silent for a long time.
Old Madam Su looked at Su Yao solemnly, with scrutiny and suspicion in her eyes: "How did you know? I heard it, who told you that?"
She felt that something was wrong with Su Yao from the beginning.
It's not that she looked down on merchants, nor that she didn't trust Mrs. He, but Su Yao's calmness in dealing with things, her calmness and ability to deal with things, were not what an ordinary girl should have. Or to be more precise, it should be said that even the princesses who grew up in the palace might not be as sophisticated and mature as she is at this age.
Now it seems that her speculation has been vaguely confirmed.
Su Yao pursed his lips and looked at Old Madam Su calmly: "Grandmother, don't be nervous. My mother gave birth to me during the Second Prince's Rebellion. Although there was chaos and war at the time, and the child was taken away by mistake, but... the birthmark on my body cannot be faked. These eyes that are exactly the same as those of the Su family cannot be faked either, right?"
After first denying Mrs. Su's suspicion, Su Yao smiled bitterly and said, "As for my various differences from ordinary people, please treat me as a strange encounter, Grandmother, Grandmother, and Big Brother."
Song Heng had already become suspicious of her warning Song Shiyi that something bad would happen.
She would have to explain this matter clearly sooner or later. It was no longer realistic and trustworthy to use the words in Master Shen's secret letter to explain it.
After much thought, Su Yao decided to choose an explanation that they could accept more.
Old Mrs. Su looked at her with twinkling eyes, finding it incredible.
Su Rong was more direct. He asked, "Are you trying to tell us that the Bodhisattva has appeared?"
"You can say that." Su Yao nodded calmly: "I also know that this statement is incredible, so I have never dared to tell you, but in fact, I do know a lot of things that I shouldn't know, don't I?"
She decided to end the matter quickly: "Now is not the time to talk about this. No matter what peculiarities I have, I am sincere to you. This is true."
