I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Chapter 392 Song Nanzhi committed suicide out of fear of punishment

When Song Shijin left the Marquis' Mansion, Ah Xiu had been sending people to keep an eye on Song Shijin. When he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he saw Liu Mansion's carriage sending him back.

When Xie Anlan heard what Ah Xiu reported, he couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.

"Mother!" Song Shijin's voice suddenly came in.

A cheerful sound of footsteps came in along with Song Shijin's voice.

Xie Anlan put away the lost look on his face, put on a smile and asked Song Shijin: "What happened? Why are you so happy?"

Song Shijin did not hide anything, but told Xie Anlan honestly: "I went to pay my respects to Madam Liu this morning. Madam Liu invited me to dine with her. She forgave me for the absurd things I did in the past."

Song Shijin's face showed a rare innocent smile like that of a child.

Xie Anlan looked at the smile on Song Shijin's face, and his heart also felt warm. He pulled Song Shijin to sit beside him and said, "No hurry, talk slowly."

Song Shijin suddenly took out a small package from his arms with a mysterious look on his face and placed the food inside in front of Xie Anlan.

He said to Xie Anlan, "Mother, eat quickly. This is Jin'er's favorite snack. Madam Liu also packed a lot of delicious food for me to bring back for mother."

Xie Anlan looked at the small and exquisite dessert and felt warm in his heart.

In the past, in the palace, she used the best of everything and lacked nothing. Those noble ladies were always trying to coax those good things away from her.

It was the first time that she felt loved and cared for by others.

Xie Anlan's face was filled with a warm smile.

She reached out and took a small piece of the snack, put it in her mouth, and savored it slowly.

"Well, it's delicious, sweet but not greasy, and has a light mung bean fragrance." Xie Anlan praised knowingly.

Seeing that she was eating happily, Song Shijin also started laughing.

He suddenly stretched out his little hand and placed it on Xie Anlan's forehead to check her temperature.

I was relieved to see that she no longer had a fever.

"Have you drunk the ginger tea I made this morning?" Song Shijin asked Xie Anlan seriously.

Xie Anlan looked at Song Shijin's old-fashioned look and couldn't help but laugh.

"I drank it. Otherwise, how could the fever go away so quickly?"

Song Shijin nodded slightly.

Subsequently.

Ah Xiu's voice sounded behind him, "Madam Liu's people unloaded a lot of food from the carriage. The servants said that it was all grown by Madam and her family. There are sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts, and a lot of them."

As Ah Xiu spoke, she placed the food box brought from Liu Mansion on the table.

Xie Anlan didn't expect that even though he had framed Liu Yueru before, she would still be willing to send these things to the Marquis' Mansion.

A hint of mist flashed in Xie Anlan's eyes, and his dead heart slowly regained a bit of life at this moment.

She put away the complicated expression in her eyes, and when she looked up at Ah Xiu again, she reminded him, "Take the gifts from the warehouse to Madam Liu, and store them in the cellar of the Marquis' Mansion. Food is in short supply outside now, so it's better to store some."

"Yes." Ah Xiu agreed and turned to do it.

Xie Anlan looked at Song Shijin and raised her hand to gently touch his hair; "The teacher has found one for you. He is not a particularly good fortune teller, but he has good knowledge and character. She promised to come to the Marquis' Mansion to teach tomorrow. You should study hard with the teacher in the future."

Song Shijin's eyes turned slightly red, and he looked at Xie Anlan with gratitude.

He knelt down in the direction of Xie Anlan, kowtowed to her several times and said, "Thank you, mother. Jin Ge'er will study hard and will not cause trouble for mother again."

Xie Anlan raised his hand to help him up from the ground, and smiled at Song Shijin: "Okay, let's work together to revive the Marquis' Mansion."

As she spoke, she thought of Song Nanzhi. Xie Anlan then said to Song Shijin, "Your father committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment. From now on, this mansion will be yours and mine. The mansion is in such a state now, can we just hold the funeral behind closed doors and do it simply?"

When Song Shijin heard the news, his expression froze slightly.

Although he hated Song Nanzhi, Song Nanzhi was also his father and had loved him once. If it weren't for the decline of the Marquis' Mansion, he might still be the father who treated him well.

Song Shijin's dark eyes suddenly turned red, tears flowed down, and he said to Xie Anlan with a choked voice: "Okay, I'll follow my mother's arrangements."

Xie Anlan felt very uncomfortable seeing Song Shijin like that.

The once bustling Zhennan Marquis Mansion was now deserted with people dying and people scattered, and there was no trace of its former self left.

The Zhennan Marquis Mansion soon replaced the lanterns with white ones and also made simple decorations inside the mansion.

The door of the marquis's mansion was wide open, and the mourning hall was simply furnished. Song Nanzhi's body had already been dealt with by the people from the Dali Temple, so there was simply a tablet for Song Nanzhi and an empty coffin placed in the mourning hall. No musicians or magicians were invited, only a monk chanted sutras for him.

The day of funeral.

No one was willing to come to the Marquis' Mansion, only Liu Yueru sent her servants to deliver gifts.

Song Nanzhi's tomb was randomly located on a small hill not far from Old Madam Song's tomb, with a simple earthen slope.

But on the day of his funeral, Song Shijin always felt that someone was following them.

After all the people who were buried had left.

Xie Anlan and Song Shijin burned paper and offered incense to Song Nanzhi in front of his grave.

"Have a nice journey." Xie Anlan said lightly.

The paper money on the ground was burned out, and the wind blew gently, sweeping the ashes of the paper money up and floating away.

Song Shijin helped Xie Anlan up from the ground and said to her, "Mother, let's go back too."

Xie Anlan nodded slightly.

Ah Xiu on the side also noticed something was wrong. She whispered in Xie Anlan's ear, "Madam, you go first. I will stay behind you."

Perhaps it was because the other party's eyes were too sinister, which made everyone feel a chill down their spines.

"Shasha..." The sound of leaves rubbing against each other came from the woods not far away.

Ah Xiu's body suddenly tensed up. She turned around and looked in the direction of the sound. Suddenly, her pupils widened.

With his heart beating rapidly, he shouted in the direction of Song Shijin and Xie Anlan, "Madam, Master Jin, run!"

The remaining servants hurriedly protected Xie Anlan and Song Shijin.

It was the first time that Xie Anlan saw Ah Xiu so nervous. She immediately grabbed Song Shijin's hand and ran down the mountain.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the darkness and staggered towards Xie Anlan.

After Xie Anlan saw the other person's face clearly, he turned pale with fear and stood there in a daze...
