Chapter 96 Return to Song Mansion on the th of every month

Who in the Song family doesn't respect and honor her as the old lady?
Jin girl has great abilities and a bad temper. The old lady took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her eyes aggrievedly, "Grandma misses you and can't bear to see any granddaughter of the Song family suffer outside. She came to see you even though she is not in good condition. The Song family is not a den of wolves or tigers. We are all your relatives. Why can't we be in your eyes? You are so eager to get out..."

Seeing the old man in front of her crying, Song Yanjin felt deeply touched, but she felt a little uncomfortable because he only showed concern for her now that she had achieved some success.

I didn't see the love of my relatives when I was in the most difficult time of my childhood. Now that I have enough food and clothing, they are playing the emotional card. I can't help but wonder if they have ulterior motives.

Song Yanjin looked calm. He raised his hand to take the teapot in the middle of the table and add water to his grandmother. "Grandmother is an old lady. Of course everyone in the Song Mansion respects her. I have been looked down upon since I was a child. My father didn't love me, and my mother didn't love me. Why didn't my grandmother see it at that time? My third uncle took pity on me and took me to Lishan Academy. Who cares whether I live or die?"

"From now on, even without me in the Song Mansion, nothing will change. Everyone can live their own lives."

The old lady did not dare to take the handkerchief that she was using to wipe her tears away from her face, hiding the guilt on her face. In the countryside, it was easy to raise a cheap girl, after all, she was just a girl, not a boy. Who would have known that the eldest son was so indifferent to his own daughter.

The stubborn girl refused to listen to any persuasion, so the old lady calmed down and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, Jin girl? You are a young lady of the Song family after all. How dare that servant treat you harshly? Your father is a straightforward person who doesn't talk much, and Xier and her mother have suffered a lot of injustice at home."

"At that time, my grandmother was bedridden due to illness. She was exhausted and could not take care of herself, and she was also negligent towards you. So, I will not force you to come back home. Just come back every fifteenth day of the month to accompany my grandmother for a simple meal, and I, an old woman, will be satisfied."

Song Yanjin held the cup in her hand with a bit of melancholy. The Song Mansion was always a trouble that could not be gotten rid of. In the eyes of scholars, filial piety was the most important thing. As the president of Qingyun Academy, if she violated this principle, she would eventually be condemned and despised by thousands of people. If people from the Song Mansion exaggerated and gossiped about her to ruin her reputation, the situation would probably get more and more out of control.

After thinking it over again and again, Song Yanjin nodded, "Okay, I will go back to see my grandmother on the 15th of every month."

The goal was achieved, and the old lady smiled with relief, "Jin girl is a sensible and filial child, don't worry, she will just accompany me, an old woman."

At dinner time, Song Yanjin invited his grandmother to have dinner at the academy but was refused because it was inconvenient for the old woman to sit at the same table with young people.

Song Yanjin was too lazy to explain. There were several large tables filled with people from the female teachers to the housekeepers and children in Qingyun Academy, so there was no shortage of an old lady like her.

After everyone left, Song Yanjin took Bai Zhu to the cafeteria.

"Miss, the people in the Song Mansion are really annoying. They let the old lady who doesn't care about anything take action."

Baizhu speaks up for the young lady, who was abandoned by her family when she was a child. Now that she has made it big, everyone has come out to recognize her. Who knows what their plan is.

Song Yanjin said indifferently, "Don't worry about them. If the enemy comes, we will stop him with soldiers and if the water comes, we will block it with earth."

I'm just going back to accompany the old lady. Anyone who dares to act up in front of her will be dealt with one by one.

In early summer, there were constant banquets in the palace. Gongshu Yuanyuan was very busy, so the childish class was temporarily led by Song Yanjin.

Back in the familiar classroom, the children couldn't leave Teacher Song for a moment and clamored to listen to two stories during nap time.

Su Lingshu got out of the quilt obediently and raised her little hand, "Mr. Song, does Snow White know what kind of person the prince is? Isn't it a bit hasty to agree to the prince's proposal?"

Song Yanjin: "This..."

How come the good story doesn't work here?
Song Yanjin stood up and touched her head. "This story is telling us, first, little girls should not trust others easily, second, you should not eat things given by strangers, third..."

"Don't believe men's lies!" Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand to answer.

This is how her mother educated her older sister who was about to get married. She listened to it casually, and now that Master Song said so, she believed it without a doubt.

Kids nowadays are so smart. Song Yanjin gave the class monitor a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Xiao is right."

The fat boy on the opposite side refused to listen. He had closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, but he got up and retorted, "Squad leader, don't generalize. There are good and bad men. My father is very good to my mother, and he is also very good to my brothers and sisters."

Su Xiaoxiao agreed with this, "Well, your father is a good one. I think some fathers are very bad. There are many who pamper the concubines in the house and dislike the stepmother."

This made sense. Seeing that she didn't refute him, Xiaopang went along with her and went back to sleep.

Su Lingshu was deeply touched by what the class monitor said. Her father was like that, but there was nothing she could do. She was still young and did not have the ability of her older sister. When she grew up, she would definitely become a top scholar like her older sister. She would make her own decisions.

With a sad face at such a young age, Song Yanjin helped her to sleep again with a smile, "Take a nap first, so you can practice calligraphy in the afternoon when you are energetic."

Su Lingshu listened to Teacher Song and nodded seriously. She closed her eyes even though she didn't want to sleep, and studied hard to learn to read and write in the afternoon so that she could get today's red flower.

After putting the children to sleep, Song Yanjin came out and sat on the bench in the corridor, fanning himself with a round fan. It was really hot that day, and it would be cooler if there was some drizzle in the evening.

Baizhu came over with a plate of green bean soup and a small plate of cold noodles in red oil. "Miss, Uncle Cheng from the lunch restaurant made some food according to your instructions. I saw you didn't eat much just now. Coincidentally, Qingmu came over and said there was something delicious, so I got some for you."

Song Yanjin found the cold noodles appetizing and took it with a smile, "Baizhu, have you eaten it?"

Baizhu nodded awkwardly, "Yeah."

"I knew you were a little foodie, so I'll keep it all to myself."

Song Yanjin picked up his chopsticks and ate with relish, slurping the cold noodles and drinking a sip of mung bean soup, enjoying his meal very much.

Cui Yuanchang came in from the courtyard gate and said, "Hey~ I'm eating."

I guess the mountain chief won’t be able to eat anymore!
Song Yanjin wiped his greasy mouth with a handkerchief, "What does Yuan Chang want to talk to me about?"

Cui Yuanchang stepped over the steps and walked through the corridor. "A eunuch came to the living room and said he wanted to see you."

Eunuchs are usually only found in the palace, so it's bound to be bad news for Xun Shanchang.

Song Yanjin went into the school, drank some tea and rinsed his mouth, then reapplied lip balm, "Yuan Chang, please tell Uncle Liu to look after the next group of children during the afternoon class."

Cui Yuanchang nodded with a serious expression, "Yes."

Since the academy was founded, Song Yanjin has been busy studying and knows little about the powerful people in the capital. The palace did send an imperial edict to Qingyun Academy once, asking her to discipline her younger cousin and the third prince. Why this time?
It was obviously too late to pass the message to his little cousin, so he went to the living room with panic in his heart.

The father-in-law, who was sitting at the conference table drinking tea, saw someone coming in, and quickly put down his teacup and stood up, "Oh, Director Song is here."
