“Big brother.”
Song Wangyue waved in Song Si’s direction, and when Song Si saw him, a smile immediately appeared on his clear and handsome face.
Qin Qian also looked over with him, his gaze only lingering on Song Wan Yue for a moment before landing on Gu Yi’s face and asking with a smile, “This is your sister and brother?”
“Mm.”
Song Si quickened his pace and came to the two, reaching out to tug Song Wan Yue’s cloak upwards and retie the straps for her again.
Qin Qian also followed, and introduced himself to the two men in a big way, “I’m Qin Qian, Song Jiu Ren’s roommate.”
He was now familiar with Song Si, calling him Brother Song Si on a regular basis, and when he flirted with him, he called him “Mr. Song”.
Song Si was used to it.
“I’m Song Wangyue, my elder brother’s sister.”
Song Si smiled and raised his hand to pet her head dotingly.
“I’ve often heard Brother Song Si talk about his sister, and when I see her today, she really does live up to her name.”
“Nowhere, nowhere, I’m flattered, I’m flattered.”
Hearing her pretentious reply, Qin Qian couldn’t help but smile as well, before his gaze fell on Gu Yi, “This is brother Song Si’s younger brother.”
“Hm.”
Gu Yi lightly hmmed.
“It’s true that you look as talented and have an extraordinary temperament as Brother Song Si.”
Gu Yi took him up on this.
Qin Qian didn’t care either.
“I’ll go first, Brother Song Si, see you tomorrow.”
Song Si nodded slightly and watched him walk away before putting the book basket on the carriage, and then the three of them went up, asking along the way if anything had happened at home in these days.
Song Wangyue gave him an evasive account, mainly about Hua’er being adopted away.
Song Si and Song Lian had hardly ever dealt with each other and had little memory of Hua’er, so they didn’t say anything after listening and asked Song Shenxue how he was doing with his accounts.
“He didn’t learn the bookkeeping methods you taught him, and he remembered the accounts in a messy way.
Song Si didn’t suspect anything, Yue had always been smart and quick to learn anything, so it wasn’t surprising that he could learn to keep accounts.
“By the way, I told my second brother to buy a bookkeeping book early in the morning, but I haven’t had time to come to the county town, so it’s a good idea to buy it for him today, and buy some paper along the way.”
Gu Yi instructed the carriage driver to turn the corner, still going to the same bookstore that Song Wan Yue used to go to, she had just entered, the shopkeeper recognized her at a glance, “Miss, has the little girl from that day been found?”
She hadn’t told Song Si about this earlier, and when she heard the shopkeeper ask, her heart thumped, she turned her head to look at Song Si, and when she saw him looking over, she knew it was no good, so she was busy smiling ingratiatingly, “I’m sorry for your concern, she’s fine, she just saw something interesting and followed it out, and then got lost.”
“That’s good.”
The shopkeeper had been blaming himself since that day, if he had watched over her, she would not have disappeared.
Song Si didn’t move, went inside and got the paper and the ledger, came out and settled the bill, and after getting into the carriage, asked, “What’s going on?”
Song Wan Yue tried to cover it up, “It’s just a small matter, when I brought Er Ya to buy paper and bookkeeping books, she ……”
“Tell the truth.”
Looking at his serious expression, Song Wan Yue knew that it was impossible to cover up, so she could only tell the whole story of that day, “She was abducted by human traffickers, when I found out she happened to be carried onto a carriage, so I chased after her, fortunately it was in the city, the carriage did not go fast, otherwise I really could not catch up, it was also Er Ya’s good fortune that the carriage broke down when it went outside the city, so I was able to find I found a chance to save her.”
After hearing this, Song Si lifted Song Wan Yue’s cloak to cover her head and looked at Gu Yi, “You said.”
“Big brother ……”
Song Wan Yue struggled, Song Si held her down, Song Wan Yue’s statement fooled the family but not him, if she really saw Er Ya being carried on the carriage, she should have called out loudly instead of chasing up herself and also chasing her out of the city. The bookshop was several miles away from the city, and it would have been impossible for him to follow her that far.
“She was kidnapped that day and almost lost her life.”
Song Si drew a backward breath, “Who?”
“A family who came to the door to seek medical help, that family’s only son was fetus sick, he didn’t know where he heard about the little girl saving me, he wanted the little girl to save his son the same way she saved me, the little girl said she couldn’t, and in his anger, he kidnapped the little girl.”
“Where is the man?”
Song Si gritted his teeth, knowing that Yue’er was his sister, he still dared to lay hands on her, this man was impatient to live.
Gu Yi glanced at Song Wan Yue who was no longer struggling, “The family moved away. ”
“Count on him leaving fast!”
Song Si believed his words and lifted his cloak, unable to resist flicking Song Wan Yue’s head heavily, “If the bookstore’s shopkeeper hadn’t asked, were you planning to have your family hide it from me as well.”
“It’s not like there’s anything going on with Erma and I. Telling big brother would just make people worry.”
“You have a point?”
“No reason, no reason.”
Seeing Song Si’s face sink downward, Song Wan Yue hurriedly admitted her mistake, “I was wrong, I will never hide anything from big brother again.”
“Are you serious?”
Song Wangyue’s head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, “Really, really, it’s more real than pearls.”
After saying that, when she saw Song Si’s face easing back, she hurriedly said, “It’s okay for big brother to know about it, don’t tell anyone at home.”
“I know.”
The three of them went to the marketplace to say hello to Song Shu and a few others, and then returned home in the carriage.
It would be noon, and Grandma Song deliberately cooked a few good dishes and entertained Gu Yi.
After eating, Xu and Song Wan Yue followed Gu Yi in the carriage and went to Dr. Yao’s place.
The charcoal fire was still lit inside the house and Doctor Yao first took Xu’s pulse, “Madam, have you felt unwell since you returned yesterday?”
“No. ”
Doctor Yao nodded and told her to lie down, still piercing the same acupuncture points as yesterday.
He had just tied them and was about to leave when Xiao Si came in, “Young Master, Master wants you to come over.”
“What is it?”
“It says that the master he hired for Miss Song has arrived.”
“The man has come?”
Doctor Yao was excited.
Gu Yi gave a glance over, and Doctor Yao instantly realised that he had lost his temper and coughed covertly.
Gu Yi got up and went out, and quickly went to Master Gu’s courtyard.
The courtyard was silent, not a single servant, and Xiao Si automatically stopped at the courtyard entrance. Gu Yi quickly walked into the house, a woman with an icy aura standing with her sword in her arms, turned around at the sound of footsteps, and the moment she saw him, excitement surfaced on her expressionless face, but she instantly controlled it again, “Young Master Gu.”
“Goo ……”
Gu Yi’s shout also exited at the same time, shouting only one word, hearing the woman’s address, swallowing back the words that followed.
“There is no outside here ……”
Master Gu, who was also standing, wanted to say something and was interrupted by the woman’s cold voice, “Whether there is anyone or not, we can’t take it lightly.”
