Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

At the same time, life in the capital was not easy, at least not for Lan Cunliang.

Since arriving in the capital, Song Lian placed him and Li Sumei in a small courtyard in an alley.

He also thoughtfully arranged two maids, a woman-serving woman and a cleaning boy to serve them.

But Lan Cunliang felt something was wrong. These people were ostensibly here to serve them, but they seemed more like they were here to monitor them.

But Li Sumei was enjoying it, so he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Lan Xinyuo hasn't come once in so many days. After Li Sumei complained twice, she didn't say anything else.

He felt that things were not that simple, and now he suddenly felt very regretful that he should not have followed.

At that time, Li Sumei said that she would divorce him if he didn't come with her, and he really wants to divorce her now.

However, he still had to get some money before the divorce. Looking at Li Sumei drinking tea in the flower hall, Lan Cunliang walked over.

Lan Xinyou was as worried as he was. Lan Xinyou was arranged to live in another courtyard, and apart from the people who served her, she didn't know anyone there.

Even as for her own husband, she only heard his voice when she was half asleep. It couldn't be a dream, otherwise she would not have asked so carefully.

Even when she went out, the maids around her said that Master Song had made arrangements. There were many nobles in the capital, and they were afraid of conflicts, so it was better not to go out.

She said she wanted to meet her parents, but they said now was not the right time as Mr. Song had not yet made arrangements and it was not appropriate for them to meet.

She was able to fool him the first two times, but the third time, Lan Xinyu couldn't bear it anymore, "I want to go out and get some fresh air, no one can stop me."

The maids exchanged glances and just as they were about to open their mouths, Song Lian came in and dismissed the attendants.

"Xin'er!"

Lan Xinyou was overjoyed, "My husband, you are finally back. They wouldn't let me go out."

"Xin'er, this is all my husband's orders."

"why?"

"Xin'er, I'm doing this for your own good. You're pregnant. Do you know what's going on outside?"

"What happened?"

"A young lady from an aristocratic family had an argument with Princess Chang'an in the rouge shop. Princess Chang'an whipped out the whip she carried with her and disfigured the young lady."

Lan Xinyou was shocked. "What's the result? The family of the disfigured woman won't pursue the matter?"

"What are you investigating? Princess Chang'an is the daughter of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess is the biological sister of the current emperor. Who dares to investigate?"

"That woman?"

"She was sent to a nunnery by her family to become a nun."

"why?"

"This is her fate. A ruined face will be of no value to the family. If we don't send her away, are we waiting to offend the princess a second time?

Xin'er, we just arrived here, and I, as your husband, am not yet capable of protecting you, so I won't let you go out. But look what I brought you."

Song Lian called out, "Come in!" and a servant came in dragging an exquisite box.

Song Lian smiled and said, "Xin'er, open it and take a look."

Lan Xinyuo was still a little excited. When she opened it, she saw all kinds of jewelry, including gold, jade, pearls and emeralds. She had never seen anything so beautiful before.

Song Lian picked out a jade plum blossom hairpin and put it on Lan Xinyuo.

"My heart is so beautiful."

"My husband, this is a gift for me!"

"of course."

Lan Xinyou lowered her head shyly, "My husband is so good to Xin'er."

Song Lian held the beauty in his arms, with a fake smile on his face, "Put down the box, and go out."

The servant lowered his head and held the box. When he heard Song Lian's instructions, he said yes, put it on the table and walked out.

After he went out, he closed the door and stood up. What an idiot! He was ordered to collect the things but not to lead them away. Song Lian could actually fool people with such poor acting skills.

Be sure to report the truth to the princess when you return.

While Song Lian was still being affectionate with Lan Xinyuo, their every move was faithfully reported to Tinglan Courtyard in Anyang Prince's Palace.

"Mother, why don't you let your daughter deal with that mother and son?"

The woman who closed her eyes and rested beside him said faintly, "He is just a jumping clown. Your mother can make your father stand on the clouds, but she can also make him fall into hell.

I am waiting for his action. If he satisfies me, he will still be the King of Anyang. If he does not satisfy me, haha, there are ways to deal with his dissatisfaction.

Anyang, don't rush things, let them have some fun first."

Anyang smiled and said, "I will remember what mother said."

"By the way, go and coax Chang'an these few days."

"Why coax her? She just made a mistake."

“Because she just made a mistake, everyone is avoiding her, so they let you go.

Don't worry, even if she killed someone, no one would dare to touch her, the emperor loves her very much."

"I guess she looks like His Majesty. There's a saying among the people that nephews resemble their uncles."

"Haha, yes, they look very similar."

Anyang always felt that there was something else her mother said, but everything her mother said was right every time, and she just had to do what her mother asked.

"Okay, I will listen to you, mother."

"Okay, good boy, go ahead."

After Anyang left, a man walked out from behind the screen.

"I will be here to see the princess on Qingming Festival."

"There's no need for you and me to be polite. Just speak directly."

"Princess, Song Lian and his mother..."

"Call my name, or you don't have to report."

"Wan Ning, sixteen years ago, the prince sent the mother and child to Qingtian Town, thousands of miles away. Later, she remarried to Song Wei from Taohua Village, and the child was renamed Song Lian..."

A stick of incense passed and the story was over.

"So Rongwei died in the mouth of that bear?"

"Yes."

"That country girl was also deceived?"

"Everyone has their own requests. The young woman's name is Lan Xinyu, and she also took her stepfather's surname. This time she brought both her biological mother and stepfather, but Song Lian arranged them separately."

The woman sighed, "They really have good intentions. Since the prince wants a son so much, I will give him one."

"Wang... Wanning, how... how are you going to send it off?"

The lady stood up, took his hand and walked towards the inner room.

……

After a while of busy work, Yu Xiu ran out to call his mother for dinner, but he couldn't find her anywhere in the house.

"Grandma, have you seen my mother?"

"Not in the house?"

"No, who saw mom?"

Yulin pointed to the door and said, "Second brother, when you guys were cooking, there seemed to be a quarrel outside, and mother flew away in a flash."

Yu Xiu sighed, "You are so old, but you still like to watch the fun. You guys eat first, I'll go call my mother."

Yulin had a look of seeing through everything but not saying anything, Yumian smiled but said nothing. Everyone knew what kind of person his second brother was.

Yu Qi waved his hand and said, "Let's eat first. Leave some rice in the pot. They won't be back for half an hour."

Old Lady Yu sighed, "Eat it, we can't control it anymore."

Sure enough, half an hour later, the two came back arm in arm.

Lan Qiyan washed his hands and went straight into the main room, while Yu Xiu washed his hands and went to the kitchen to serve the meal.

"Mom, babies, I'm back."

"Have you finished watching the fun?" asked Old Lady Yu.

"No."

"Then why did you bear to come back?"

"That's because they showed their buttocks. My mother said there were needle holes and it was too exciting. She wouldn't let me see it and she dragged me back by force."

Lan Qiyan sat at the dinner table. "There's nothing to see anyway. It's dark and dry. It's not suitable for children."

Yu Xiu curled his lips, "I don't know whose eyes are the biggest. I'm already grown up, but I'm still being covered with my eyes. It almost suffocated me to death."

Old Lady Yu was suspicious, "Whose family is quarreling? Is it so exciting?"

Lan Qiyan took a big sip of soup and said, "Your eldest son and daughter-in-law."
