Ever since Xie Anlan entered the Marquis' Mansion, Ah Xiu has been secretly observing Song Shijin and found that he is not like the rumors outside.

Nowadays, Song Shijin does everything by himself, but Ah Xiu feels a little distressed when she thinks about his meals.

Ah Xiu said in a gentle voice, "Princess, Song Shijin always gets up early to pick up unwanted food from other people's vegetable stalls, and cooks rotten vegetable leaves to eat. If he doesn't snatch food from others that day, he won't eat it that day. Sometimes he sees food in the kitchen, and occasionally he will secretly take some to fill his stomach."

Xie Anlan was stunned after hearing this.

When she was in the palace, she heard a lot about Song Shijin's cruelty and arrogance. He seemed to have changed overnight after being spoiled by the people in the Marquis' Mansion.

Perhaps it was the hardships and grievances he had suffered during this period that made him learn to be sensible and self-reliant.

Xie Anlan's eyes dimmed a little, and he looked outside the door with a bitter smile on his face.

What is the difference between me now and Song Shijin?

Xie Anlan was silent for a long time, then looked up and said to Ah Xiu: "Prepare an extra portion of food for Song Shijin in the future."

Ah Xiu looked at Princess An Lan with some surprise, then nodded quickly: "Yes."

Xie Anlan said weakly, "Also, sell the more valuable parts of my dowry and get some silver so that you can save money. Find someone to run the shop and do some business so that you don't have to spend unnecessary money in the future."

Ah Xiu listened to Xie Anlan's words and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

But her voice continued to ring in my ears; "Song Shijin, are you still studying?"

Ah Xiu shook her head; "Since that incident, he has stopped studying and has been disqualified from taking the imperial examinations. Teacher He resigned, and since then no one is willing to teach Song Shijin."

"Later, I heard that the prince consort sent him to Yang Yuning to learn how to do business, and he followed Yang Yuning all the time. However, Yang Yuning was taken away by the people from the Dali Temple during this period. He was often bullied by others in Zui Xiang Lou, so Song Shijin secretly ran back to the mansion."

Xie Anlan looked outside with little interest, confused about the future. She looked up at Ah Xiu and said, "If I want to invite a teacher back for him, what do you think?"

Ah Xiu was once again shocked by Xie Anlan's words. She stared at Xie Anlan blankly, then stretched out her hand and placed it on Princess Anlan's forehead, feeling the temperature of her forehead, and asked, "Princess, are you worried about something?"

Xie Anlan looked back at Ah Xiu, her eyes suddenly reddened; "Ah Xiu, I'm afraid we will have to spend our whole lives in this dilapidated and notorious mansion."

She looked away, and when she lowered her head, tears could not stop flowing down. She said with a hint of bitterness and sobbing, "It was me who didn't listen to you at the beginning. I caused you to follow me to such a hellhole and live a hard life."

It was the first time that Ah Xiu saw Princess An Lan like this, and her eyes couldn't help but tear up.

Women in this era are mostly accessories and pawns when it comes to interests, and are a vulnerable group.

Ah Xiu stepped forward and held Princess An Lan's hand. It seemed that she had suffered a great deal of injustice in the palace today, which was why she acted like that.

Ah Xiu said to Xie Anlan in a gentle voice, "Princess, I'll have someone take your dowry and start some business. We can live well in the Marquis' Mansion in the future. Song Shijin has turned over a new leaf. You can treat him as your family member in the future. You'll have someone to keep you company in the Marquis' Mansion. Don't be too sad. No matter where you are, Ah Xiu will be with you."

Xie Anlan nodded slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the tears in his eyes were slightly suppressed.

Seeing that Princess Anlan was in a better mood, Ah Xiu continued to say to her, "I will find a good teacher for Young Master Song later to teach him."

"Okay." Xie Anlan thought for a moment and continued, "Ah Xiu, don't call me princess in the future. I am no longer the Princess Anlan of the past. I am now Madam Song of the Zhennan Marquis's Mansion. Just tell them to call me Madam Song in the future."

After listening to Xie Anlan's words, Ah Xiu suddenly felt bitter and couldn't help feeling sad for Xie Anlan.

Princess Anlan had never thought about these things before, but after just a few days, she seemed to have grown up suddenly.

A Xiu felt a little sad and a little relieved.

When it rains, children without umbrellas should really learn to run.

Princess Anlan also began to plan for her future life.

Ah Xiu held back her tears and nodded heavily at Xie Anlan, then she called out with a choked voice, "Mrs. Song."

"Eh." Xie Anlan responded with a bitter voice.

Ah Xiu's tears could no longer be stopped from flowing out.

Seeing her like this, Xie Anlan held back his tears, raised his hand to help wipe the tears from Ah Xiu's face, and said to her: "Don't cry, even if no one can support us, we can still live a good life in the future."

"Okay." Ah Xiu burst into laughter after crying.

Song Shijin, who was outside the door, stiffened noticeably when he heard the conversation between the two.

He never thought that Xie Anlan would consider himself.

We also need to invite the teacher back for him.

Song Shijin's hands kept tightening, and his dark eyes suddenly turned red.

He turned around and ran out quickly.

Ah Xiu raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled and stood up and said, "Madam, I will go prepare some food for you."

"Yeah." Xie Anlan lay back on the bed with A Xiu's help.

She looked at the gauze curtain with empty eyes, feeling complicated.

The prosperity of the past passed through her mind like a dream, and it was time to forget those things.

Xie Anlan suddenly stood up, put on his outer robe, and then walked to the door.

The moment the door opened, Xie Anlan suddenly froze in place, staring blankly at the person in front of him.

"This is for you." Song Shijin said as he handed the plaque that Liu Yueru had taken down to Xie Anlan.

Xie Anlan's eyes fell on the three big words "Wenhuaxuan" and his mood became more complicated.

Song Shijin suddenly explained: "My mother treated me very well in the past. She always put me first in everything. It was Jin Ge'er who didn't know how to cherish me. My father didn't do anything and hurt your heart. I apologize to you on my father's behalf."

As Song Shijin spoke, he knelt down in the direction of Xie Anlan and kowtowed heavily several times.

Xie Anlan finally came to his senses and bent down to help Song Shijin up.

"It's not your fault. From now on, you and I will live a good life in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, okay?" Xie Anlan asked Song Shijin in a gentle voice.

Song Shijin stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, then looked at Xie Anlan and nodded heavily, "Okay."

Xie Anlan called the servants and hung the plaque of Wenhuaxuan again.

Song Shijin looked at the plaque of the courtyard that was hung again, and his dark eyes turned slightly red, as if Liu Yueru had returned to the Marquis' Mansion, and he was still the child loved by his mother.

A pair of big hands suddenly placed on Song Shijin's shoulders and patted him gently...
