Liang Yue’e poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, saying, "I know your mother loves tea very much. In the past, I often went out with her to drink tea, but after Xiao Chuan passed away, such opportunities became rare!"
Song Yansheng’s thin lips moved slightly, and he said, "It seems my sister-in-law invited me over here not just to discuss these things!"
Liang Yue’e smiled, "Yes, it’s indeed not to discuss this. I was just feeling a bit sentimental. I often feel that the world is unpredictable; many things start out good but in their development, they increasingly deviate from their original course and become not so good!"
Song Yansheng said, "I believe in karma and reincarnation, that there is a natural order. Whether it’s good or bad, it has a cause, so there’s no need to talk about it. Let’s get back to the point. My sister-in-law came to find me, presumably about Xue Mobei!"
Liang Yue’e’s expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to her original appearance.
She put down the teacup in her hand, lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "You’ve been investigating me lately, wanting to know what my relationship with Xue Mobei is, but I know you must be very disappointed because, in reality, I have no relationship with him. He might not even know me!"
Song Yansheng squinted his eyes, not quite understanding what she meant.
Liang Yue’e said, "I met Xue Mobei, but it was a long time ago. I admit, I once had a crush on... Xue Mobei, but that was before I got married. At the banquet that day, seeing him appear again, I was very surprised because he and I haven’t seen each other for at least twenty years. You can only say fate plays tricks on people, but seeing that he seems to be doing well, I am happy for him!"
Song Yansheng looked at Liang Yue’e, trying to gauge the truth in her words.
Song Yansheng understood Liang Yue’e as someone who loves her children dearly, sometimes even indulging them.
Usually gentle and cautious, courteous, and doesn’t like to talk much.
But her personality isn’t as gentle as it appears on the surface; her father and two younger brothers are involved in politics.
Although her father passed away early, her two brothers have some power, which provides a little help to the Song Family’s development.
It also gave her some leverage over Song Zhongming.
Liang Yue’e said, "A Yu, I know you want to know more than just this information, but the truth is, this is all I know. I invited you out today not for this issue, but to ask you for a favor..."
"A favor?" Song Yansheng squinted, confused.
Liang Yue’e said, "Here’s the thing, I’ve always suspected... suspected your cousin has an illegitimate child outside, but I’ve had my two brothers help investigate, and they’ve found no clues so far. They are both in politics, so naturally, investigating these matters wouldn’t be their forte. But A Yu, you can!"
Song Yansheng looked at her, "So you want me to help you find out if my cousin has an illegitimate child outside?"
"Yes..." Liang Yue’e said, "In fact, I am almost certain that he does; otherwise, he couldn’t be so indifferent to Xiao Chuan’s death and couldn’t exploit and manipulate his only daughter Qingyang like he does. He certainly has one, he certainly does!"
Song Yansheng’s thin lips moved slightly, and he said, "Sister-in-law, you should know that it’s not quite appropriate for me to investigate such matters, especially since... it’s about my cousin!"
Liang Yue’e immediately shook her head, "No, you are the most suitable to investigate this because I suspect someone is entangled with your cousin, and coincidentally, this person has some connection with Nuannuan..."
...
Shi Yuanbo dared not visit Shi Nuan at Song Mansion, nor did he dare let Shi Nuan return to the Shi Family.
But he could call Shi Nuan to express his concern personally.
He asked Shi Nuan how she was doing, expressed worry for her, and reminded her to eat well and dress warmly now that the weather was cool.
He also asked Shi Nuan if there was anything she wanted to eat or anything else, and he would immediately send it over.
Shi Nuan said she didn’t need anything, everything was available at Song Mansion.
Shi Yuanbo sighed, "Yes, everything is available at Song Mansion. Song Yansheng is so good to you and must be taking great care of you. On the other hand, I am superfluous!"
Shi Nuan’s thin lips moved slightly but she said nothing.
Because of the lost child, the feelings between the women, which were hardly warming up, fell into an ice point once again.
Shi Yuanbo said, "Nuannuan, are you now... are you now like this because of the lingering sickness from that time?"
Shi Nuan smiled faintly and replied, "If I say yes, what will Father do? Punish Shi Jiaojiao?"
Shi Yuanbo suddenly became speechless.
Shi Nuan also felt it was somewhat harsh to say such things at such a moment.
Although Father chose to conceal the truth to protect the Shi Family and Shi Jiaojiao back then.
