SFS Chapter 157 Restless
Chapter 157 Restless
Liu Yunniang nodded. Although the atmosphere was still a little awkward, it gradually eased with the words of Lady Anbohou.
Liu Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't want to have any unpleasantness with the wife of Marquis An because of this matter. After all, it was not easy to find someone who was congenial to her in the capital.
When Ye Xiaoxiao saw her mother stand up, she ran back immediately. However, unlike when she came, she was very close to Song Yaning. This time, she held Liu Yunniang's hand tightly.
The atmosphere when we left was much quieter than when we came here.
They walked back along the way they came. Along the way, the maple leaves were still sparkling like flames in the sun, but everyone's mood was very different from when they came.
Song Yiyun followed silently behind, his eyes falling on Liu Yunniang from time to time, his heart full of loss and helplessness.
He knew that his actions today were too impulsive, but how could matters of the heart be easily controlled?
Ye Xiaoxiao held Liu Yunniang's hand tightly, and her little head turned back to look at Song Yiyun from time to time, her eyes full of vigilance.
This man looked gentle and refined, but deep down he probably didn't think his mother was really rejecting him.
After a while, they returned to the backyard of Hankong Temple.
Sure enough, the vegetarian meal had been prepared and exuded a faint fragrance.
Everyone took their seats one by one, and the maids were busy serving food to everyone.
Mrs. Amber was the first to break the silence and said with a smile,
"The vegetarian food in Hankong Temple is famous for its deliciousness. Everyone should try it."
Liu Yunniang also responded with a smile,
"Madam is right. This vegetarian meal smells very tempting."
Everyone began to taste the vegetarian food. Although the vegetarian dishes were light, they had a unique flavor.
However, Song Yiyun was eating absent-mindedly, as Liu Yunniang's firm expression of rejection kept appearing in his mind.
Mrs. Anbohou glanced at her son and sighed secretly.
She knew that her son was truly in love this time, but love cannot be forced.
She decided that after she returned, she would have a good talk with her son and ask him to let go of this relationship as soon as possible.
As for Liu Yunniang, she could see clearly that she had no romantic feelings for her son.
While eating vegetarian food, Ye Xiaoxiao secretly observed the expressions of everyone.
If she had to choose between Prince Song and General Xiao, she would vote for General Xiao with both hands.
This Prince Song looks elegant, but his every move and gesture inadvertently reveals his arrogance. Given time, his feelings for his mother will be worn out, and he will probably become the next scumbag father.
On the contrary, General Xiao has a straightforward personality and is very gentle to his mother. He is a complete henpecked husband.
After the vegetarian meal, everyone rested for a while in the backyard of Hankong Temple.
Mrs. Anbohou and Liu Yunniang chatted about some irrelevant topics, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed.
Song Yiyun and Song Yaning sat quietly aside without saying a word.
After a while, Mrs. Anbo looked at the sky and said,
"It's getting late, we should go back."
Liu Yunniang nodded.
"Yes, ma'am. Thank you for your invitation today."
Mrs. Amber smiled and said gently,
"No way, we can come out together again if we have the chance."
Several people stood up, and before leaving, Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao went to the main hall of the temple to pray to the Buddha again.
Liu Yunniang specifically asked for three amulets and put them away carefully.
After they came down the mountain and walked to the carriage, Liu Yunniang asked Chunxi to take out the gift prepared in advance and hand it to the wife of Marquis Anbo personally.
"This is a small token of my appreciation for Madam's love for Xiaoxiao last time. Madam said that we get along well, and I feel the same way. I hope you won't refuse. We should have more contact in the future. Yunniang comes from the countryside, and I will rely on your care in the future."
Liu Yunniang spoke sincerely, and Lady Anbohou nodded secretly in her heart. If she refused again, it would seem a little strange.
"Okay, I'll take it. It's really thoughtful of you. But don't do this again in the future. I'm already very happy that you accompanied me out today."
The awkwardness between the two of them was eased a lot as a result.
Seeing that it was getting late, it would take some time to get back to the city. Without further delay, they all boarded the carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao both felt complicated.
Ye Xiaoxiao leaned in Liu Yunniang's arms and said,
"Mother, that Prince Song won't come to bother us again, right?"
Liu Yunniang gently touched Ye Xiaoxiao's head and said,
"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao. Mother has made it very clear. He probably won't come again."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded and said,
"That's good. I don't like him."
Liu Yunniang smiled and said nothing.
She knew that although today's incident was temporarily over, she would inevitably meet Lady Anber and her family again in the capital in the future.
She just hoped that nothing more trouble would happen by then.
In another carriage, Lady Anbo looked at the silent Song Yiyun, her heart filled with heartache.
She said softly,
"Yier, don't think about it anymore. Madam Liu has made it very clear that she doesn't have that kind of feelings for you. You will definitely meet a woman who is truly suitable for you in the future."
Song Yiyun raised his head slightly, his eyes full of pain, and said,
"I know, mother. But I just can't let it go."
Mrs. Anbohou sighed and said, "You can't force feelings. Your actions today were indeed a bit impulsive. Don't do this again in the future."
Song Yiyun nodded and said,
"Mom, I know I was wrong. I won't do this again."
Mrs. Anbo looked at her son's lost expression and said no more. She secretly decided in her heart that she must help her son find a suitable woman as soon as possible so that he could get over this relationship.
After returning to the Marquis An's Mansion, Song Yiyun did not even have dinner and went straight back to his own courtyard.
Song Yaning wandered outside the door for a long time, but finally did not go in to disturb him.
She knew her brother needed time to adjust his mood.
Ugh!
I originally thought that today I could...
but,
When it comes to love, who can say for sure?
Everything was calm for Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao.
Ye Xiaoxiao even had two extra bowls of Tremella and White Jade Porridge for dinner.
If Liu Yunniang hadn't stopped her, she would have asked Chunxi to help her serve another bowl.
"Okay, don't eat too much for dinner. Be careful of indigestion."
Seeing that her mother had put down her chopsticks, Ye Xiaoxiao obediently put down her bowl and chopsticks.
Alas, it's all the fault of Prince Song. He didn't affect my appetite and caused me to eat much less at lunch.
However, the mother and daughter were enjoying themselves, but they didn't know that someone in the general's mansion next door was getting restless.
