Chapter 203: Abstinence Dali Temple Shaoqing VS Brothel Madam
Chapter 203: Abstinence Dali Temple Shaoqing VS Brothel Madam
Three years later
The emperor died suddenly. As he had no children before his death, the throne was left vacant. Several princes split up and fought for the throne.
When she learned the news, Madam Feng was pregnant again. She was very sleepy and took a nap in the house. Song Yanli came back from selling her some cakes and told her the news.
"Ah..." Song Yanli sighed, and said with some regret, "The emperor has indeed received retribution for his evil deeds. He has killed so many children before, and it is only natural that he deserves such an end."
Madam Feng caught a glimpse of the bright red hidden under his collar, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. He finally took action.
However, he had been planning this place for so many years, and he must have thought about it for a long time before making this decision.
Madam Feng was not surprised.
Song Yanli's personality has always been like this.
Although he had left the Song family and the Dali Temple, and lived with her in this small border town under an assumed name, he was always concerned about the innocent children who were killed in the Yuanyang Tower.
When she was recuperating in the clinic, she could tell that Song Yanli was worried.
He was such an upright man, yet he was asked to accept the abducted children from Yuanyang Tower, who were all selected and sent to the palace for sacrifice.
He absolutely could not accept such a ridiculous reason as that His Majesty might give birth to a child.
So, after her injuries were completely healed, Song Yanli brought her here to live.
This place is far away from Yuanyang Tower, far away from the Song family, and far away from all the intrigues. They gave birth to a child here, and now Madam Feng is pregnant with twins, two lovely daughters.
She felt that Song Yanli always frowned and needed two cute little girls to smooth out the worry on his brow.
……
Song Yanli changed his clothes, reached out and touched her belly, and said with a smile, "I met Aunt Zhang today. She said she wanted to bring her wife to see you and get some blessings from you."
Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law has been married for five years and has yet to give birth to a child. She has been extremely anxious.
When I heard that Madam Feng was pregnant again, with twins, I was immediately envious.
You know, if a woman can give birth to a son or daughter, it is already a great blessing. She has never heard that a woman can actually get pregnant with a second child, or twins. Aunt Zhang simply thought that this Lady Feng might be the goddess of fertility.
So, I want to get some of this blessing.
Madam Feng smiled, nodded, and pointed to the eggs not far away. "Sister Liu sent these this morning. She also said she wanted to get some of the good fortune."
Song Yanli took a look and smiled, "Madam, you are so lucky. I am also blessed by your good fortune."
As he was speaking, a dirty little ball rolled in from outside. As soon as he entered the room, he hugged Song Yanli's thighs.
"Daddy is back. Daddy, I want to eat candy figures. Daddy, buy them for me."
Song Yanli's newly changed white underwear was now stained by the little monkey. He sighed, rubbed his son's messy hair, and said with a smile, "Go take a bath. Daddy will take you to sell it. If you go out with such a dirty look, people will laugh at you."
Madam Feng looked at this scene with satisfaction, and Song Yanli finally smiled a little more.
……
The palace was still deserted. The old nanny sighed as she looked at Murong Mo kneeling in the ancestral hall and chanting scriptures.
"Your Highness, those uncles are already fighting. You and His Majesty are born of the same mother, so the throne should be yours. I'm afraid your daily worship of Buddha won't do the trick."
"I never had any intention of becoming emperor." Murong Mo lit a stick of incense and continued, "I have done too many wrong things in my life. I understand my brother's departure. I am a sinner. I want to spend the rest of my life atonement in the Buddhist temple."
The emperor's brother still managed to gather those children with special destinies, but he did not have his own royal heir as he wished. Instead, he fell seriously ill not long after.
The night before yesterday, he was killed without anyone noticing.
Murong Mo felt that all this was retribution. His royal brother had done too many immoral things, so he ended up like this.
He simply closed the Yuanyang Tower and devoted himself to worshiping Buddha here from then on. There were too many people he had let down in his life.
In a trance, he seemed to see that beautiful face again, she smiled and called him master.
Actually, think about it, what did she do wrong? She just didn't like him. She didn't deserve the death penalty. He was really too impulsive at the time.
After she was taken away that night, there was no news of her, and no one knew whether she was alive or dead.
Murong Mo sighed almost imperceptibly. If possible, he would like to meet her and apologize to her solemnly.
……
Song family
The servant sent to look for the person brought back disappointing news.
"Madam, we still haven't found Master Yanli."
Mrs. Song seemed to have aged overnight. She originally just wanted to force her son to leave that dissolute woman, but she didn't expect to force her son away.
"Go look for him again! Send more people and make sure to bring him back safely."
Her voice was hoarse, and the servant stood up and prepared to leave. "Wait..." She suddenly stopped the servant and said as if to compromise, "If you find her, tell him that if he really likes that girl, I will agree to his request."
She almost trembled as she said this. She could not accept that woman at all.
However, she could not abandon her son, as he was a piece of flesh that had fallen from her body.
……
In the academy.
The great scholar led a few young men to the garden and introduced them to the dazed Mu Wan'er, "Wan'er, these are some talented scholars from the academy. They have all admired you for a long time. Take a look around, do you like any of them?"
Mu Wan'er's gaze was always looking into the distance, she didn't even move her eyes, and her voice was lifeless.
"Father, Wan'er will not marry anyone other than Brother Song in this life. Wan'er thanks the gentlemen for their kindness and asks you, father, to send them off for Wan'er."
The great scholar was also angry.
"What's so good about that kid from the Song family? Not only did he lose his job at the Dali Temple, he also eloped with a woman from that kind of place. Even if he comes back and is willing to marry you, I won't marry you to him."
Mu Wan'er didn't answer the great scholar. She was like a puppet with its soul taken away. She just stared blankly into the distance and kept muttering, "I will only marry Brother Song. I will only marry Brother Song."
.........
Song Yanli still did not choose to return to the Song family. Instead, he took Madam Feng and the child back to visit Song's mother.
Mother Song liked these little ones very much, and her expression towards Madam Feng gradually softened.
A hundred years later, Song Yanli and Lady Feng passed away on the same day. Their one son and two daughters buried them together.
