Chapter 553 Adopted as a Daughter
Song Yuntang looked at him, the surrounding lights reflected in his almond-shaped eyes.
"You've had your suspicions for a long time, haven't you? The reason I changed so much four years ago was because Song Yuntang, who was sent to Rongshu Village by the Lin family, and I were completely different people."
Xu Qingye found it difficult to understand this, but he also felt that there were always many mysteries in the things in the world.
It doesn't exist if he doesn't understand it.
"Tang'er means that you are not originally from the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Song Yuntang nodded. "Unbelievable, isn't it? I still feel like I'm dreaming. In this dream, I selfishly had a relationship with you and had two children with you, completely disregarding whether I would disappear in the future."
"But in the end, I'm still afraid."
"I'm worried that if I go back to that place, I won't be able to see you or our children anymore."
She tilted her head, and because she was pregnant, she was particularly sentimental.
"I want to be with you until we grow old and watch our children grow up, so I cherish every moment now and take life here seriously."
Although the man was confused, he did not lose his own opinion.
"If one day you really disappear, I will first raise our two children to adulthood, and then find a way to reunite with you wherever you are. However, by then, I may be a little old and my health may not be good. I hope Tang'er doesn't despise me then."
Song Yuntang smiled and extended his little finger.
"It's a word."
Xu Qingye also extended his little finger.
"A word is settled!"
The night breeze on the river was cool in the summer. After chatting for a while in the cabin, Xu Qingye took out two river lanterns from under the coffee table like a magic trick.
"Do you want to release river lanterns?"
"Okay."
Song Yuntang stood up and followed Xu Qingye out of the cabin.
The two lit the river lanterns and put them into the water. Song Yuntang clasped his hands together and made a silent wish in his heart.
The man stood beside her, looking at her with gentle eyes.
In this life, I only wish that my family will be safe and happy, and that she can be by my side forever.
……
The next day, before Song Yuntang got up, Xu Qingye went out to the Tang Mansion.
It was almost noon when I got home.
After getting up and having breakfast in the morning, Song Yuntang played with Hao Ting for half an hour. Because she was tired, she handed the child to her parents-in-law and went back to the main courtyard to rest.
When Xu Qingye learned that she had gone back to her room to rest, he entered the room very quietly.
In front of the window, Song Yuntang, wearing a loose lotus-colored dress, was lying on the couch with her feet bare.
The skin is so white and translucent that it seems to be able to transmit light.
Because it was hot, a small box of ice was placed on the open window frame. Occasionally, a gust of wind blew into the house through the window, bringing some coolness.
The man stepped forward, picked up the thin blanket that had fallen on the ground and gently put it on her.
Although his movements were gentle, they still woke up the woman on the couch.
Song Yuntang opened his eyes, put his arms around his neck, and spoke in a lazy tone.
"came back."
Looking at his wife's seductive appearance, the man's Adam's apple moved.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Song Yuntang smiled and shook his head.
"I've been asleep for over half an hour. It's time to wake up." She blinked. "What did you do at the Tang Mansion?"
Xu Qingye said truthfully, "I asked the teacher to look after you while I'm away."
"I have to trouble the two elders of the Tang Mansion again."
At this time, she naturally wouldn't be careless.
Before Xu Qingye returned to Beijing, she had to do her best to keep a low profile and protect herself and her family.
The man shook his head.
"When the teacher and his wife heard that you were the one they were going to look after, they were very happy. The teacher also said that a while ago, people in the capital were mocking you for not having a family to support you, so he had been wanting to go to the palace and ask His Majesty for permission to adopt you as his adopted daughter. He asked me to come back first to ask your opinion."
Worried that Song Yuntang's hands would get sore from hugging his neck for too long, he took her hand off his neck and held it in his palm.
"Although they intend to replace Li with Tao, the two elders have such thoughts. I think they think Tang'er will get along well with them. If they protect you, you will be safer when I am not in Beijing."
She knew that Xu Qingye was thinking about her.
Song Yuntang was still a little hesitant.
Right now, it’s just the teacher and his wife, so they can still maintain some distance.
But once she becomes the adoptive father and mother, and there are no other children in the Tang family, when Mr. and Mrs. Tang are old, she, as the adopted daughter, will have to take care of all the big and small matters in the Tang family.
It's not that she doesn't want to do these things.
The two elders of the Tang family treated her like their own daughter, so she was willing to support them.
But as she had said to Xu Qingye on the night of Qixi, she was not sure whether she would suddenly disappear from here. If she became the adopted daughter of the Tang family, her sudden disappearance would not only cause the two elders to suffer again, but she would also be unable to repay the two for their kindness in sheltering her.
"I've inexplicably received such a great favor from the Tang family. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in the future. I'd better reconsider it."
As if knowing her concerns, the man touched her head.
"I only ask that you be at peace now. I'll be there for you in the future."
……
On the day Xu Qingye left, the Tang family asked everyone in the house to prepare a generous gift and released the news that they wanted to adopt Song Yuntang as their adopted daughter.
The next day, the Tang family held a banquet for her and invited all the important figures in the capital, even the emperor himself was present.
This shows how much the Tang family values this adopted daughter.
For a time, Song Yuntang became the object of everyone's envy.
She was born in the countryside, but was treated so well by the Tang family. In the future, no one would dare to use the loophole of her mother's family to attack her.
On that day, Song Yuntang appeared in full dress wearing the twelve-broken Liuxian long dress specially customized for her by Mrs. Tang.
Bright and dignified, generous and decent, dazzling.
Perhaps because they had never seen her dressed like this before, the guests were amazed as soon as she appeared.
After being stunned, the old man in the capital who had seen the late queen had a strange look on his face.
The Princess of Le'an used to dress plainly and low-key, and no one noticed anything about her. But now she was dressed up, and if you looked closely, you would find that she did look somewhat like the late eldest daughter of the Tang family.
No wonder the Tang family adopted her as their adopted daughter.
But smart people also understand.
Tang Jingshan had been an official in the court for decades and would not accept her simply because of her appearance.
Li Junyao looked in the direction of Song Yuntang, with a flash of nostalgia in his eyes.
When Qin Xue married him, she was the same age as the current Princess Le'an, and was also so bright and beautiful.
If only she were still here.
Outsiders did not know that Tang Jingshan and Mrs. Tang had already known that Song Yuntang was pregnant. Worried that she would be tired, they kept the ceremony simple and ended the banquet early, allowing her to rest in the courtyard prepared for her in the Tang Mansion.
After Tang Jingshan sent the guests away, he brought Hao Ting to her yard.
When Hao Ting saw her, he was overjoyed and ran towards her.
"Mother!"
Song Yuntang smiled, took his hand, and nodded to Tang Jingshan.
"Godfather is here."
Tang Jingshan was delighted to have a daughter.
"Are you used to living here?"
