Chapter 949 Another wave occurs
The iron chain rattled. Song Yuanjiu stretched out his hand from the rough wooden fence with difficulty and wiped the tears from his wife's face. "Don't cry, silly..."
Before he could finish his words, tears welled up in his eyes.
Mrs. Song quickly put the food box on the ground and reached out to hold his hand that was touching her cheek, "Husband, you did all this for me."
Song Yuanjiu was stunned, "Who told you?"
Mrs. Song found out the truth with just one probing sentence. As expected, it was because of that incident... that she ruined her husband's career and killed him.
She blamed herself so much, "My husband, you are... Alas, you shouldn't do this for me... I... am not worthy of you doing this..."
Song Yuanjiu's face darkened, and he was a little angry. He pulled his hand back, "I don't allow you to say that about yourself. I told you before, it's not your fault."
Madam Song was so panicked that she stretched out her hand to pull her husband back, but she couldn't reach him. She was so anxious that she burst into tears, "Husband...husband...I was wrong...No, no, I...wuwuwu..."
For many years, she has never said "I was wrong".
When she first got married, she always cried and said that she was dirty and not worthy of the number one scholar.
He waited for her for a long time, until she gave birth to the child in humiliation.
Song's mother didn't like her daughter-in-law, so he covered up for her everywhere.
At first, he had no idea she was pregnant.
She secretly took medicine to abort the child, but was caught by Song's mother, who scolded her for wanting to destroy the Song family's child.
She was speechless.
After Song Yuanjiu knew about this, he also supported his wife to abort the child. He was afraid that she would think of that incident as soon as she saw the child.
But she was too weak. The doctor said that she was born with a deficiency and was overly worried. If she forced an abortion, she might have a risk of hemorrhage.
For this reason, Song Yuanjiu advised her to give birth to the child safely, "The child is innocent. Since he was born in my Song family, he is my son, Song Yuanjiu. I will personally teach him to become a talented person."
Mrs. Song tried to commit suicide several times but failed. It was her husband's trembling companionship that gradually gave her hope to live in her broken heart.
But at that time, she always liked to say "I was wrong".
Song Yuanjiu got angry after talking too much. The couple had a cold war for only half a day, and then he came back and kowtowed to beg for mercy, asking his wife to forgive him.
Then I told her sternly, "If you say 'I was wrong' again in the future, I will be angry again."
Mrs. Song asked, "Will you ignore me if you are angry?"
He shook his head, "No. I'll be angry myself anyway, so you don't have to feel sorry for me. Humph!"
Mrs. Song never said "I was wrong" again because she felt sorry for him.
Just like now, he was only angry for a moment, and immediately approached the rough wooden fence again, held her hand, and called her affectionately, "Han'er..."
This scene made the jailer stare at it with his eyes wide open. "Mrs. Song, please make way. I'll open the door for you."
He was acting in accordance with the order of the Emperor, who had specifically instructed that if Mr. Song's relatives came to visit, everything would be accommodated.
Mrs. Song was very happy and timidly stepped aside, but she was reluctant to let go of her husband's hand.
As soon as the cell door opened, she thanked the jailer, let go of her husband's hand, and went in with the food box.
The couple sat on the floor of the cell with a food box in the middle.
The lunch box contained food she had cooked herself.
She came in a hurry and had little money, so the food was simple.
Song Yuanjiu ate with gusto, "I like this, Madam."
"Then I will do it for you every day from now on." Mrs. Song continued.
He choked and his expression gradually became serious.
She said cautiously, "Husband, did I say something I shouldn't have said again?"
Song Yuanjiu put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and said softly, "Han'er, I have to go to Tiema City to serve."
"I know, I heard."
"Listen to me, take your mother and child back to your hometown and live there for a year. I know this year will be very difficult, and your mother won't treat you well. But you have to show your strength and scare her by saying that you won't care about her from now on. Then she won't dare to treat you like that."
Mrs. Song had almost never left her husband's side for so many years, except when he was out of Beijing on business, and she was extremely worried.
Then I heard my husband say, "The princess saved my life with a golden medal of immunity from death, and now Iron Horse City is the princess's fiefdom. I won't suffer too much if I serve there. After a year, you can settle my mother down, and then bring our two sons to Iron Horse City to find me."
Mrs. Song's eyes lit up, "Aren't you going to separate from me?"
"I can't live without you." Song Yuanjiu sincerely said, "Let me go to Tiema City to explore the way first, and also help me arrange my mother's life."
Mrs. Song agreed.
After coming out of prison, she felt much more relaxed.
She is not afraid of suffering, but she is afraid of being separated from her husband.
Even if her husband went to serve in the border town, she would be willing to follow him. She had long thought that if her husband was sentenced to death, she would not live alone.
Mrs. Song had already prepared to die.
She is very grateful that there is still hope to survive.
My husband was well dressed in prison, and although his life was hard, he was not tortured or suffered any pain.
Mrs. Song was relieved.
Now that her husband is away, she should stand up for herself.
She was about to go talk to her mother-in-law about returning to her hometown, but before she even stepped into the yard, she realized something was wrong.
There are government officials inside!
She had always been timid, so she hurried towards the voices.
It turned out to be someone from the government, and there was also a coroner. Someone told her that the coroner was performing an autopsy.
Autopsy! Mrs. Song's pupils suddenly dilated and she rushed into her mother-in-law's yard.
No one stopped her.
When Mrs. Song went in, she saw her mother-in-law lying on the bed.
died!
The coroner said that the deceased's head hit the corner of the table, causing a skull fracture and brain damage.
It matches! The officer in charge of the case nodded, "It matches the confession of the person who surrendered."
Mrs. Song was struck by lightning when she heard this, and then she realized that her two sons had gone to the government office to surrender themselves.
Song Shenzhi and Song Xizhi competed to confess first, both saying that they were the ones who pushed their grandmother to death.
A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.
Mrs. Song covered her face and cried. Although her mother-in-law treated her badly, she was her husband's mother after all.
Just a moment ago, her husband had told her to take good care of his mother. The next moment, his mother was gone.
But she was more worried about her two sons.
A sudden change of circumstances made him no longer eligible to take the imperial examination. This life was already frustrating enough, and now someone's life had to be taken to task.
Family affairs should be handled at home, why did the two foolish sons go to surrender? Mrs. Song felt a pain like her heart was being torn out.
She gave false testimony to prove that it was the eldest son who pushed his mother-in-law.
The younger son was sent back home, almost furious, "Mother, you clearly knew that I pushed Grandma! Why do you insist that it was my eldest brother who pushed me?"
Mrs. Song was exhausted and looked away, "I, I can't remember. I don't know..."
"You can't remember! You don't know! Then why are you so sure that it was my eldest brother who pushed me? Do you know that 'one who kills his own relatives and surrenders himself will still be put to death'? Mother, he should be beheaded according to the law! Mother, my eldest brother will die! My eldest brother will die!"
Song Xizhi burst into tears.
The two brothers always had a good relationship. The elder brother always gave in to him and protected him. Whenever someone bullied him, the elder brother would stand up for him.
Song Xizhi suddenly stopped crying and asked, "Mother, why did you never like my eldest brother since he was a child? Was he picked up?"
