The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 147 Xiao Su's Love Suicide
Jiang Shiwan's eyes dodged: "That's not what I meant..."

Meng Tingzhou looked at her coldly: "Jiang Shiwan, for whom did I prepare to return to the capital from the northern border in advance? For whom did I charge into the palace tonight?
You say that as if everything I do is a joke!"

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Shiwan to explain, he turned away.

"Madam!" Xueying held the frail Jiang Shiwan and couldn't help crying, "Madam, why are you doing this? Even if you hate the governor, you should still consider the young master."

Jiang Shiwan clutched her sleeve, feeling a chill all over his body: "I tried my best, but in the end, it cost Brother Song his life. Xueying, do you understand... do you understand..."

She looked outside blankly. Dayan welcomed the first heavy snow of the year. The snowflakes fell to the ground, as if covering everything in the world.

She suddenly thought of something and struggled to get up and walk out.

Xueying immediately chased after him: "Madam, where are you going?"

When Jiang Shiwan arrived at the Song Mansion, there was nothing unusual about it, but everything was quiet in the huge mansion.

When the maid led her inside, the weak crying of a baby made her couldn't help but quicken her pace.

"I?"

"Madam, I don't blame you." Xiao Su seemed to know what she was going to say and spoke first, "From the beginning to the end, I knew your intentions. I forced this child to come, it was not his original intention."

The wet nurse was holding the child and coaxing him, while Xiao Su was staring blankly at the top of his head, motionless.

Jiang Shiwan coaxed her and asked, "Is this often the case?"

She grabbed Jiang Shiwan's hand and said, "Madam, for the sake of his father, I hope you can treat this child well, love him well, and don't let him have a hard time."

These words made Jiang Shiwan feel uneasy: "Xiao Su, what are you talking about? No matter what, I will take good care of this child with you, don't let your imagination run wild."

"Xiaosu..."

The nurse forced a smile and said, "The young master is very strong, and his cry is very loud."

"The little prince has stopped crying."

The nurse was overjoyed: "It seems that Madam and the young master are really destined to be together."

Xiao Su smiled rarely: "Okay. Madam, please give the child a name."

Jiang Shiwan nodded and said, "I'll come here every day when I'm free. If Madam and Young Master have any problems, please send someone to find me immediately."

Seeing her nod, Jiang Shiwan couldn't refuse. He pondered for a while and said, "Brother Song hopes that the Song family can get redress and live an upright life. How about calling him Song Zheng?"

After sending Jiang Shiwan out, the maid whispered, "This is the first time Madam Song has smiled like this since giving birth to the little boy. I hope Madam Governor will come more often in the future."

"Song Zheng." Xiao Su chewed on the two words and nodded, "Okay, let's call him Song Zheng."

"Yes... I wonder if I'm feeling unwell somewhere. But the doctor checked and there's nothing wrong."

Xiao Su glanced at the child in her arms calmly and said faintly, "The adults listen to you, and the children listen to you too. It seems that you have a deep bond with the father and son."

Jiang Shiwan wiped away his tears inadvertently, and sat down in front of Xiaosu holding the child: "The child is growing well."

Jiang Shiwan suppressed his grief and took the child from the nurse: "Let me try."

She walked gently with him in her arms, humming to him the song she had hummed to Ayou before. Thinking about the little things she had experienced with Song Huaizhi, she burst into tears without realizing it.

Jiang Shiwan looked at the crying baby and felt indescribable.

No matter what, she would do her best to take good care of Xiaosu and her son.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard a hysterical cry from inside: "Madam!"

Jiang Shiwan turned around suddenly and ran inside subconsciously: "Xiao Su! Xiao Su!"

When she ran to the inner room, Xiao Su was still lying on the bed as before, but this time there was a dagger on her chest. Jiang Shiwan walked over with heavy steps: "Why did you abandon the child?"

Bright red blood flowed from the corner of Xiao Su's mouth. She smiled faintly: "I feel relieved that Song Zheng is under your care. I'm afraid that the lady will be too lonely down there, so I want to go down and accompany her."

Jiang Shiwan held her hand tightly, knowing that there was no way to save her.

Her lips trembled: "Okay... I feel relieved to have you accompany him. I will take good care of Zheng."

"Madam, do you think he would like it if I went to accompany him..."

"Yes, he will definitely be able to feel your feelings..."

Xiao Su pulled the corner of her mouth painfully: "But he still loves you the most. Madam, I hope you won't make him suffer so much in the next life. Can you love him well?"

Jiang Shiwan choked up and said, "Tell him to live well in his next life."

Xiao Su closed her eyes peacefully.

After a long time, Jiang Shiwan let go of Xiaosu's hand and slowly stood up.

Ah Zheng kept crying in the nurse's arms. She held him in her arms and said gently, "You should follow me from now on. I will take care of you, okay?"

As I walked out of the Song Mansion, the heavy snow never stopped.

Jiang Shiwan looked back at the Song Mansion, his heart as calm as water.

When Meng Tingzhou saw her kneeling in front of him holding Song Zheng in her arms, he was a little surprised: "Why don't you come with me into the palace to take care of this child?"

"The court is full of twists and turns, and Song Zheng's identity is very special. I want to take him to live outside to keep him safe."

Meng Tingzhou knew that her decision would not change, and took a deep breath: "Your consideration may not be unreasonable. Xiao Su's love for Song Huaizhi was on the one hand, and on the other hand, she hoped to protect the child with your help.

But have you ever thought about Ah You?"

Thinking of Ah You, Jiang Shiwan's expression relaxed a little.

She really hadn't seen Ayou for a long time.

I don't know how many tears I shed at night.

She raised her head and mustered up her courage and said, "If possible, I would like to live outside the palace with Ah You."

Meng Tingzhou raised his voice: "Try to say it again."

Jiang Shiwan greeted him and said, "I promise you that I will never take Ah You away. But you should understand that when you ascend the throne in the future, Ah You will not be the crown prince that the court officials hope for because of his surname Jiang.

Maybe it’s not a bad thing that he follows me.”

Meng Tingzhou looked at her blankly and didn't speak for a while.

In the past few days, people have been telling him about Ayou's surname Jiang and that he will definitely not be suitable to be the crown prince in the future.

She knew, in fact, she knew everything.

Although he hated her and was annoyed with her, Meng Tingzhou knew that he would miss her if she was not around.

Even though I am not the most important person in her heart, I still miss her uncontrollably.

He helped her up and said, "I promise you, I will leave Ah You to you, and you can live in Wanyuan with the two children. It will become another garden in the future."

Jiang Shiwan pursed his lips and nodded: "Thank you for your understanding."

"Please try to understand me." Meng Tingzhou held her shoulders, "When I am bored and miss you, don't reject me."
