Song Heng had just arrived. Master Su San had not even sat down in his aunt's room when he heard that the son of Marquis Guangping had also arrived. He stood up in a panic and scolded his aunt who was still asking questions. He pushed her away in annoyance, walked out the door, and asked the steward, "Where is he?"
It’s so late, what’s going on in the Guangping Marquis’ Mansion? People keep coming one after another.
The steward lowered his head and dared not move. He knew in his heart that his master must be very upset. He said with some embarrassment: "We wanted to inform you first, but the prince said he had to come in. So we took him to the meeting room and came to report to you now."
Master Su San's temples were throbbing violently, and his head was buzzing as if a swarm of bees were flying around in his head. While tidying up his clothes, he ordered, "Go and invite the young master over first. I'll be there later."
Only after the steward agreed did Master Su San go to the meeting room.
The night gradually deepened. Master Su San walked quickly in the wind, but his mind became strangely quiet. He stood at the door of the meeting room for a long time before he quickly walked up the steps and walked straight into the door. He bowed to Song Xiangyu, the son of Guangping Marquis, and said, "Your Highness!"
Song Xiangyu looks to be in his forties. As he has been leading troops for many years, he has a strong murderous aura. His eyes are clear and he is in very good spirits. He does not have the greasy look that most officials of his age have. He looks like he has a wasp waist and a monkey back with a straight spine.
When he saw Master Su San, he smiled slightly and nodded. "Master Su San, it's been a long time since we last met. Why are you being so polite to me?"
Before the Yongding Marquis's Mansion fell into decline, although the two of them were not playmates, they met often and could be considered familiar with each other. However, later on, Song Xiangyu went to lead troops in another area and was away for more than ten years, so their friendship became estranged.
Hearing Song Xiangyu's initiative to greet him, Master Su San was a little surprised, but he still smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for so many years. After you came back, there was no chance to get together. I was just afraid that I would be out of place."
After a few pleasantries, Song Xiangyu went straight to the point: "Where is my rebellious son?"
Master Su San himself also found it strange. Song Heng first came to his house to find Su Yao, and later went to Old Lady Su's house. This really made Master Su San feel strange and weird, and it was not in line with common sense.
Now that Song Xiangyu asked, he told the truth: "I don't know what happened to Mr. Song. He went to the old lady."
Song Xiangyu's eyes suddenly darkened, and he didn't mean to say anything more. He stood up and said politely to Master Su San, "Then I'll have to ask you to lead the way. My rebellious son's words and deeds are so rude that I'm afraid he will offend the old lady."
In other words, Song Heng actually came here to cause trouble
Master Su San's heart skipped a beat. He stood up without any hesitation and led Song Xiangyu to Old Lady Su's Kangping Garden.
During this time, the Third Master wanted to ask Song Xiangyu what happened and why Song Heng rushed over in such a hurry, but seeing Song Xiangyu's expression, he finally didn't ask anything. He coughed and felt a little embarrassed when He Jian pushed Su Rong over with a lantern. His eyes lit up and he hurriedly shouted, "Brother Rong!"
He looked behind him and asked, "Where is Mr. Song?"
Song Xiangyu's eyes fell on Su Rong, and he didn't say anything for a while. When Su Rong came up to greet him, he reached out and pressed Su Rong's shoulder, and then patted him heavily: "Good boy! You are very much like your father. You handled your eldest sister's affairs very well."
Su Rong and Master Su San were both stunned. They didn't expect Song Xiangyu to bring up this matter.
But Master Su San was puzzled, but Su Rong quickly reacted. Knowing Song Heng's background, he still brought Song Heng home and raised him under great pressure. Song Xiangyu must be a very loyal person.
Before, Song Heng had been secretly protecting the Su family, so it was obvious that Song Xiangyu was also paying attention to the situation of the Su family.
Thinking of this, he sincerely called Song Xiangyu "Uncle Song" and said, "Mr. Song is in grandma's room."
Song Xiangyu hummed, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He just walked behind Su Rong with a frown, looking at Su Rong's back, wondering what he was thinking.
Master Su San suddenly felt it was even more weird. So many years had passed, and the Song family and the Su family had almost no dealings at all. But why did Song Xiangyu seem to know so much about the Su family's affairs, and even seemed to be very gentle to both Su Rong and him
He couldn't figure it out, but they had already arrived at the old lady's yard. Song Heng was being escorted out by Nanny Huang holding a lantern. Seeing this, she stopped and saluted to Song Xiangyu.
Song Xiangyu snorted coldly, looking very angry, but still restrained, and turned to Master Su San and the others and said, "Originally, I am the younger generation, and since my son came to bother me, I should go to the old lady in person to pay my respects and apologize. But it's getting late now, and I have something else to do with this beast, so I won't disturb the old lady. Lao San, please tell the old lady that I'm sorry and tell her that I will bring him to visit and apologize some other day."
Master Su San exclaimed and quickly agreed. Seeing that Song Heng didn't say a word, he suppressed his surprise and personally sent them out the door.
The lanterns at the door were still shaking violently. Master Su San watched Song Heng and Song Xiangyu get on the horses. He came back confused and told Old Lady Su and Mrs. He that Song Heng had left. Then he told Song Xiangyu's words in a daze, and said carefully: "Mother, mother-in-law... ... What is going on?"
Mrs. Su was worried at the time. When she heard this, she glanced at her and said slowly, "Nothing. Rong had also had a drink at Sanyuanlou before. Song Heng came to ask if he knew the man who gambled with Song Shiyi."
Master Su San still found it very strange. Why didn't Song Heng want to see Su Rong, but instead specifically wanted to see Su Yao from the beginning
He looked at Su Yao hesitantly, but saw her sitting calmly next to Mrs. He, looking as if it had nothing to do with her. So he could only smile and say "oh" and turned to walk out.
Seeing him leave, Old Lady Su sighed with a headache: "Song Heng broke into our house. It must be a big deal if it falls into the eyes of those who are interested. I'm afraid that things will be very troublesome next."
In response to this, Su Rong looked at Su Yao, sighed, and asked her: "What did you say to Song Heng before he left?"
He always felt that there was something wrong with the relationship between Su Yao and Song Heng. They clearly didn't say much, but they seemed to understand each other's meaning every time. This was really strange.
