The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Song Shengfu turned around and saw Duan Jingzong holding a child about seven years old, with Lu standing next to him.

When Song Shengfu saw that this was the incompetent eldest grandson Duan Chengkang, Duan Jingzong patted his son gently, and Duan Chengkang immediately ran over and hugged Song Shengfu's legs.

Although he was still young, he knew that his grandmother was weak, so he ran to Song Shengfu and then slowly walked over and gently hugged her.

Song Shengfu looked at the white dough boy holding her, and he looked nothing like how he looked when he grew up.

Look at this big chubby face, so festive.

Thinking about the good things he had done in her memory, Song Shengfu reached out and pinched Duan Chengkang's face.

Duan Chengkang:!

It’s strange why grandma pinched his face today, but grandma’s hands are so cold.

Duan Chengkang raised his hand and held Song Shengfu's hand and said:

"Grandma, your hands are so cold. Let me warm them for you."

As he said that, he put Song Shengfu's hand on his neck. Before Song Shengfu could react, her hand was placed in a ball of heat. She looked at Duan Chengkang, whose neck was shrinking due to the cold.

Song Shengfu: Isn’t this quite filial piety towards a child? Why did it change later?

Song Shengfu pulled her hand out and rubbed Duan Chengkang's big head: "Silly boy, are you cold?"

"It's not cold, it's grandma's hands that are cold," Duan Chengkang answered seriously.

Song Shengfu was almost killed by the cuteness of the white-dough face in front of her. She thought that the child was still young and the things that happened later had not happened yet.

Children need to be educated from a young age. This white ball doesn't look like something that is rotten to the core, so I must tame him.

Song Shengfu took Duan Chengkang's hand with a loving look and said to him, "Come to the inner room. Grandma has some delicious food here."

He completely ignored Duan Jingzong and Lu who were not far away.

My God, this wasn’t intentional on Song Shengfu’s part, she just forgot.

As people get older, their memory is not good. Moreover, she has just adapted to this body, so naturally she does whatever comes to her mind.

Duan Jingzong looked at the scene of the grandfather and grandson getting along with each other, and it turned out that it was right to bring Kang Ge'er along, but his old mother seemed to have forgotten him.

Mrs. Lu was naturally also concerned about her own son. Seeing Kang Ge'er putting the old lady's hand around his neck, Mrs. Lu almost screamed out to stop him.

At least he still had his sanity and just watched worriedly. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his mother-in-law take her hand out and lead Kang Ge'er back to the house.

Song Shengfu was halfway there when she realized that she seemed to have forgotten something. Then she remembered that there were two people behind her.

She felt a little embarrassed, but she was right because she was older. She thought about the child she was holding in her arms who had a sick father and a doting mother.

Two people who don't know how to raise children raised a bastard who ruined the family business.

Without even turning around, he said angrily, "What are you guys still standing there for? Are you waiting for the wind?"

Duan Jingzong and Lu were frightened.

What's wrong with my mother? I have never seen her talk to them like this before.

Everyone around was also surprised. What was wrong with the old lady today? It was okay if it was just Mrs. Lu, but the old lady had never said a harsh word to the uncle before.

Song Shengfu doesn't care what they think. She is not her original self now. Now she is the one who makes the decisions. The whole family still has to rely on her, an old woman. Just thinking about it makes her want to cry.

Duan Jingzong and Lu quickly followed, and followed Song Shengfu into the house. Song Shengfu sat on the small couch in the main seat, and Duan Chengkang sat next to Song Shengfu. Song Shengfu pointed at the four-color crispy candies on the low table and asked the little man next to her.

"Brother Kang, do you want to eat this? Grandma will give it to you."

"Yes, Grandma's candies are my favorite, but I can just take them myself."

Kang Ge'er took a piece and started eating. Seeing this, Su Xia beside him poured some milk for the young master.

Looking at the sensible and sweet-mouthed dough, Song Shengfu felt more and more that these were the good seedlings of the motherland. She once again asked herself why they grew crooked.

Before Song Shengfu could express her feelings, Duan Jingzong, who was standing beside her, saw that his old mother had not paid any attention to them since they came in. He felt a little panicked and said:

"Is mother feeling better today?"

Song Shengfu glanced at him and then remembered that her eldest son seemed to be in poor health.

Ouch, that won’t do!

This adopted son must live well, otherwise if he dies, the sign of the Earl's Mansion will be removed.

By then he will become a viscount. Song Shengfu is not stupid. There is a huge difference between the mother of the earl and the grandmother of the viscount's grandson.

Now that she is here, let alone other things, she has to make plans for herself first. Not to mention the issue of whether she can repay her debts or not, there are still incense hanging in the air.

Besides, the starting point for revitalizing the family is definitely higher in the Earl's Mansion, and becoming a Viscount is not much more difficult. Song Shengfu is not stupid, so she naturally knows the pros and cons.

Song Shengfu thought of this and said, "There's nothing wrong with my body. I'm just old and can't stand it anymore. Let's not talk about me. How are you? You've had a severe fever recently. Did Mr. Xu give you any medicine after seeing you yesterday?"

Duan Jingzong finally regained some of his previous feelings, and replied respectfully:

"Thank you for your concern, mother. My son has been well cared for by Mr. Xu and is fine."

"You just say these nice words to fool me."

Song Shengfu knew from her previous memories that her eldest son always reported good news but not bad news.

However, she also knew that although her son didn't look in good health, he still had a long life ahead of him.

If his son hadn't been so useless, he might have lived longer.

Song Shengfu didn't say much, just told him to be more careful, then turned to Lu and said:

"We've been busy with household chores lately. I wasn't feeling well a few days ago, so I've been taking care of all the household chores. Seeing you lose weight, it must be a bit tiring."

Mrs. Lu quickly stood up and replied, "Mother, you're too kind. Managing the inner quarters is what a daughter-in-law should do. It's not hard work. If mother is in good health, I'll be willing to endure any hardship."

"You, you only know how to say nice things to coax me."

Song Shengfu felt that in ancient times, daughters-in-law treated their parents-in-law more like subordinates treat their leaders.

He was so respectful and his words were as sweet as honey that Song Shengfu knew who the dough looked like.

Just at this moment, Suqiu came over with a bowl of medicine and walked to Song Shengfu and said to her.

"Old lady, it's time to take your medicine."

Song Shengfu looked at the bowl of pitch-black medicine and suddenly realized that this was ancient times, unlike modern Western medicine that could be given by intravenous drip.

In ancient times, there was only traditional Chinese medicine. Before she even got close, Song Shengfu could smell the pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Song Shengfu felt a little bitter. She had never expected that the first difficulty encountered in ancient times was taking medicine.

As she got older, she was still a child. Song Shengfu didn't really want to drink this stuff. But she definitely couldn't not drink it, especially since there were several pairs of eyes watching her.

Song Shengfu said to Suqiu, "Put it aside for now and drink it when it cools down."

Su Qiu could see that the old lady was just being perfunctory, so she handed the medicine in her hand and said:

"Madam, Mr. Xu said that the medicine must be taken while it's hot for it to be effective. I tried it and it's not hot."

Duan Chengkang next to him looked at his grandmother with some curiosity.

"Grandma, don't you like taking medicine? Are you like Kang Ge'er, who doesn't want to drink this bitter medicine?"

When Song Shengfu heard this, she realized that this was not acceptable. She had to set an example for her child and said to Duan Chengkang seriously:

"Grandma is not afraid of this soup. Just look, I'll drink it right away."

As she said that, she took the bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp. The bitterness made Song Shengfu's face wrinkled into wrinkles.

At this time, Duan Chengkang handed a piece of pastry to Song Shengfu's mouth and said to her with a smile:

"Grandma, eat this. I've tasted it and it's the sweetest. Eat it quickly."

Song Shengfu ate it and found it was indeed sweet.

When people get old, they like to have children around them. She used to like to tease her brother's little grandson, and now she has one too. It's a grandson she got for free, and she was so happy that she hugged Duan Chengkang in her arms and kissed him for a while.

"Oh, grandma's eldest grandson is so filial."

Duan Jingzong and Lu breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their mother was in good condition today and not as sad as yesterday.

But I didn't expect that this breath was too early...
