A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Mrs. Song was still wearing the same outfit from yesterday. She was a few years younger than the lady, but their spirit and energy looked more than ten years apart.

She walked in with Song Tingting in her hand, smiling, without waiting for the doorman to inform her. The doorman was also stunned and stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

Sha Yanyao waved at him and told him to go back, then he breathed a sigh of relief and went back.

As soon as Mrs. Song entered the room, she smiled and said to the lady and Sha Yanyao, "Hey, mother-in-law, son-in-law, are you having breakfast? I arrived yesterday, but I was so tired from riding in the car that I didn't come to visit you right away. I really deserve to be punished."

The lady remained silent. Sha Yanyao gave a reluctant smile and said to the servant beside him, "Go make tea for the guests."

When Mrs. Song heard this, she pulled Song Tingting to sit on the sofa. Song Xichen came in behind them, looking a little uncomfortable.

The lady was still eating breakfast leisurely, or maybe she was eating slowly on purpose because she didn't want to pay attention to them.

Sha Yanyao finished the meal in two bites at a time, then sat down on the sofa in the front hall and pulled Song Xichen to sit down with him.

Mrs. Song looked around and said, "Although this little house is a bit simple, it is quite unique. We parents are busy with work all day long. Our daughter has been married for so long, but we rarely come to visit."

Sha Yanyao smiled and said, "You're welcome."

Mrs. Song continued, "How should I put it? Tingting is young too. Young people sometimes don't understand things. She's only in her early 20s, and you're over 30. If I were you, it would be okay if you just accommodate me when it comes to marital affairs."

Mrs. Song actually came to negotiate peace.

Guier really admired her for wanting to bring the two together in such a situation.

At this moment, the lady slammed her chopsticks on the table, then stood up and sat down in the front hall.

Gui'er had almost finished eating. She picked up the milk and took small sips, wanting to watch the show.

The wife said, "Mrs. Song, there's no need to say such empty words now. Although my son is a little older, he is not the kind of person who can't get married. If his wife is unfaithful, he can just find another one."

Perhaps they did not expect that the lady would tell the truth directly, and Mrs. Song, Song Tingting, and Song Xichen all turned pale and blue in the face.

After hearing this, Sha Yanyao's face didn't look very good. After all, he was the one being cuckolded, so he said, "Mother, why are you saying that?"

The lady glanced at him and said, "It has come to this. What is there to hide? Do you think she will wait until she gives birth to this child and then let you help raise a son for others?"

Mrs. Song smiled and said quickly, "If you can reconcile, then just abort the child. The people in this room will tell them to keep their mouths shut. Anyone who dares to tell anyone will be dragged out and beaten to death immediately. No one will know."

Guier discovered that Mrs. Song could really say very scary things in a very ordinary way.

Sha Yanyao and his wife were both stunned for a moment. Sha Yanyao spoke first, "Mrs. Song, although you mean well, I'm afraid it won't work. Tingting and I have long been separated in spirit, and this is a good opportunity for us to separate and find our own happiness. As for this matter, don't worry. I will tell the servants not to tell anyone."

The lady beside him said with a forced smile, "Since you're all here, I'll ask the servants to pack up her things and take them away so she doesn't have to come back next time."

During the entire conversation, Song Xichen felt uneasy and fidgeted, while Song Tingting lowered her head, as if the discussion was not about her own business.

Seeing that Madam Song and Sha Yanyao were determined and there was no room for maneuver, Mrs. Song changed her expression and said, "Speaking of which, I do have some friends in Nanjing. Nanjing is known for its high number of officials. How's the saying? In Nanjing, a sign falling from a building can kill two ministers. Speaking of which, the most influential person in Nanjing lately is none other than the newly appointed Director Tian of the Military Commission. He has a niece who recently got divorced. I heard that Director Tian has a good relationship with your family. Could it be that he has a new wife candidate who can climb up the social ladder? So, Tingting is out of the game."

Sha Yanyao and his wife were both stunned for a moment. Sha Yanyao looked at Song Tingting calmly and said to Mrs. Song, "You're too worried, Madam. Even if this hadn't happened, we wouldn't be reconciled. Besides, she's pregnant with someone else's child now. How can we get back together?"

After hearing this, Gui'er finally understood why Madam and Sha Yanyao were suddenly in a hurry to divorce Song Tingting. It turned out that they had really found another partner.

At this time, the lady spoke, her voice trembling a little as she asked, "How did you know?"

Gui'er could tell her voice was hoarse and couldn't help but look back. She saw that the lady was trembling all over and staring at Mrs. Song.

Mrs. Song was frightened by her appearance and flinched a little. She cleared her throat and said, "I just heard it from a friend."

"Friends, what friends?" the lady pressed on.

Gui'er's heart moved, and she suddenly realized that Mrs. Song knew so much details, it was very likely that the Marshal told her, and such a big thing, the Madam and Sha Yanyao must have informed the Marshal as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, the Marshal turned around and told Mrs. Song about this.

Sha Yanyao guessed what had happened. His face darkened as he said to Song Xichen, "Xichen, this matter has nothing to do with your sister's. I told Director Tian the other day that I wanted a divorce soon, and he brought it up. It's not confirmed yet. Although your mother has tried her best to bring it back, there's really no way we can get back together."

Song Xichen nodded quickly and said, "Okay then." Gui'er looked at his expression and thought Song Xichen had guessed what she had said.

Now both men want this matter to be over quickly.

Mrs. Song saw that Song Xichen didn't help her, so she reached out and tugged at his clothes and said, "What are you doing, kid?"

Song Xichen said awkwardly and embarrassedly, "Mother, forget it. Things have already come to this."

At this time, Sha Yanyao spoke again: "Tingting's things upstairs can be taken away under her nose. And that man, lock him up in the woodshed in the garden."

When Song Tingting heard this, she was horrified and asked, "What did you do to Brother Hua?"

Sha Yanyao's expression had calmed down, but when he heard her shout like that, his face turned ugly again.

When Song Tingting saw his expression, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said carefully: "He is a relative of a high-ranking official. If something happens, the high-ranking official will not let it go."
