Chapter 1268 - 1189: The Way You Are Now Is Very Dangerous

Regarding the new house renovation, although she couldn’t entirely follow Song Mansion’s design, she did adjust the original plans with reference to it.

Naturally, the designer and the laborers helping with the renovation couldn’t detect this subtle intention of hers.

After all, in City T, few have actually seen the full grandeur of Song Mansion.

While they might not notice, Yu Dou certainly could.

Busy as Song Qingyang was, Yu Dou was even busier. Yet, despite the hustle, he managed to find time to check on the renovation’s progress.

Yu Dou had never visited Song Mansion, but he had interacted with Song Yansheng and had some understanding of him.

Excluding Song Yansheng, his knowledge of Shi Nuan and Song Qingyang allowed him to deduce a few things.

He was first drawn to the cluster of gardenias planted in the corner of the southwestern wall, surrounded entirely by roses.

Yu Dou simply smiled without speaking, seemingly indifferent.

Of course, even if he cared, Song Qingyang probably wouldn’t pay heed.

That night, the two of them dined together, and Yu Dou remarked, "Actually, you could have directly designed the entire courtyard as a second Song Mansion, because I think Song Yansheng might never visit it in his lifetime!"

Song Qingyang’s face immediately darkened, her gaze cold as she looked at Yu Dou.

Yu Dou continued, "Oh, naturally, my villa is much smaller than the real Song Mansion; this point requires you to painstakingly make adjustments!"

"Yu Dou—" Song Qingyang couldn’t help but exclaim, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Yu Dou laughed, "I didn’t mean anything, just that it seems Miss Song is becoming increasingly restless. Although understandable, given that your Second Uncle and Nuannuan’s feelings are growing stronger. Recently, when Nuannuan was hospitalized, he even left all his work behind to accompany her entirely... But Miss Song, I must remind you, your current state is very dangerous!"

Indeed, Song Qingyang was well aware of the danger in her current state.

Precisely because she knew, she had to come see Yu Yao.

Aunt Hui mentioned that Yu Yao’s mood had been poor lately, accompanied by news of her Second Uncle staying at the Song Family Mansion for a few days and Shi Nuan visiting the Shi Family.

The reason Shi Nuan fell sick and was hospitalized was also due to the Shi Family.

She vaguely felt these matters should be connected, although the nature of the connection was unknown to her.

Yu Yao was exceedingly happy to hear of Song Qingyang’s arrival, instructing Aunt Tong to send the fish to the kitchen, while she conversed with Song Qingyang, hand in hand.

Back when Yu Yao got married, she desperately wanted a daughter, but her first-born was a boy.

Originally intending to have another child, circumstances forced her to postpone due to health issues; the doctor advised against pregnancy until recovery.

Her husband Song Xiuwen was always considerate of her health and acted with restraint, while Yu Yao even attempted some minor actions to conceive a girl.

But ultimately, with no daughter in her fate, she never became pregnant again.

As a child, Song Qingyang was close to Yu Yao, despite being Song Zhongming’s daughter, which caused Yu Yao some discomfort.

Nevertheless, her fondness for Song Qingyang was irrepressible.

The past grudges should stay in the past; Song Qingyang and Song Yichuan were innocent.

This was what Yu Yao told herself!

Yu Yao looked at Song Qingyang and asked, "It’s just half a month until the wedding. Are you nervous?"

Nervous?

No, Song Qingyang wasn’t at all.

This marriage with Yu Dou was mutually beneficial and constrained.

Besides, marrying a man she didn’t love held no reason for panic!

Song Qingyang replied, "I’m alright!"

Yu Yao smiled, "Good, as long as you’re not nervous. You wouldn’t believe how mistakes come so easily when one is nervous. When I married your Second Grandpa, I was too nervous—I wore my veil wrong, dropped the ring onto the floor just as I was about to place it on his finger!"

Song Qingyang chuckled, "Second Grandmother was happy, wasn’t she? After all, your marriage to Second Grandpa was a match made in heaven; the man she married was indeed her beloved, which is different from mine..."

Song Qingyang’s comment was inevitably melancholic.

Yu Yao sighed, and could only say, "Actually, Yu Dou is a good kid..."

Song Qingyang lowered her eyes, her smile forlorn, "Yes, he is quite good, but he’s not the one I love. No matter how good, what does it matter?... Anyway, let’s not talk about this. I came today because I heard Second Grandma hasn’t been well lately. What happened? Is she feeling better?"

Yu Yao sighed, "It’s a mental ailment, hard to heal. But as long as I don’t dwell on it, it doesn’t feel like a problem. So, no need to worry!"

"Mental ailment?" Song Qingyang’s eyes flickered, "Second Grandma, is this related to Second Uncle?"

Yu Yao furrowed her brows, ultimately saying, "Let it be, your Second Uncle isn’t a child; he knows what he’s doing..."

"But I don’t agree..." Song Qingyang replied, "Second Grandma, I never understood why you agreed to Second Uncle marrying Shi Nuan. Although these past months have been peaceful, the truth tends to surface eventually. Second Uncle and Nuannuan’s relationship will soon become public knowledge. By then, Song Family’s reputation may be at stake..."

Yu Yao’s brows furrowed deeper; she took a slight breath, saying, "Rest assured, Song Family’s reputation cannot be defiled by anyone..."

"But Second Grandma..."

"No need to say more..." Yu Yao interrupted Song Qingyang, "Qingyang, now you should focus on your own matters. You are about to marry Yu Dou, and regardless of your feelings toward him, you two will become husband and wife. For a woman, this is a matter of lifetime importance. You need to adjust your mindset to embrace this marriage and adapt to Yu Dou, so that your future may be happy and smooth!"

Listening to Yu Yao’s advice, Song Qingyang understood she didn’t want to discuss this further.

So she sensibly nodded and said, "I understand, Second Grandma, rest assured. I will adjust my mindset to accept everything now. After all, apart from Yu Dou, I have no better options..."

...

This morning, Song Yansheng and Liao Qinghe were both in the kitchen.

The two of them prepared several pots of red date and white fungus porridge, much more than they themselves could consume,

so Shi Nuan asked Aunt Hui to serve it to the servants at Song Mansion.

Yet someone, who claimed his morning time was absolutely not to be disturbed, promptly called Aunt Hui, requesting a bowl be brought up to him.

Thus, before lunchtime, many people at Song Mansion had almost finished eating.

But at noon, Aunt Hui still asked for a sumptuous breakfast to be prepared.

The result was that the three people at the dining table didn’t pick up their chopsticks for quite some time.

Liao Qinghe was the first to stand, "I’m not very hungry, Mr. Song and Mrs. Song can help themselves, I’m going upstairs for a rest!"
