Chapter 338 I forgot something important
The underground chamber had been engulfed in flames.
No, that is the Song family's reliance, the bargaining chip for their future success, and the reliance for them to escape unscathed.
But now it's all gone!
Song Shaozhang was unwilling, but he could only watch the fire devour everything without being able to do anything.
"Father……"
Song Zheyang noticed something was wrong and wanted to find out what was going on. Song Shaozhang glanced at Han Wan beside him and changed his words: "This is the only property of our Song family, and now it's all gone in a fire!"
Song Shaozhang felt heartbroken. For the first time in his life, he felt what it meant to live a life worse than death.
The eldest son knew about the two maps, but he had never told anyone the secret that his ancestors had divided the map into two just in case. He also had no intention of revealing a single word before his eldest son inherited the title.
But now, because of my cautiousness, I have no one to vent my grievances to and can only keep it in my heart.
"Husband, are you feeling unwell? Why don't you ask the servants to clean up a place for you to rest for a while?"
Han Wan's worried look on his face made Song Shaozhang feel even more guilty, and he blamed himself for hiding it from her.
But on second thought, the less she knew, the safer she would be if something happened, and keeping it a secret from her was also a way of protecting her.
Thinking of this, I feel relieved.
"We can't stay in the mansion anymore. Tell someone to pack up and we should move to a nearby house for the time being!"
Why did the fires from heaven burn their houses one after another? Could it be that the heavens really had eyes and just didn't like them, so they burned them to death so that they couldn't live in peace?
The father and his two sons walked in front, and no one noticed the coldness that flashed in Han Wan's eyes.
Several people moved to the house across the street, and no one thought of Mrs. Song. Her husband and two sons ignored her and never thought of her at all.
Although Song Yunxi had no feelings for Madam Song, she felt heartbroken when she saw her being forgotten by her husband and son whom she loved wholeheartedly, especially at such a critical moment.
"I thought Song Zheyang was at least better than Song Zhening. He at least had some brains, but he could remember Han Wan but not his own biological mother. He is worse than an animal."
Ye Xuanqi also felt the same way: "Indeed, Madam Song has never owed them anything."
Early in the morning, Song Yunxi ordered someone to secretly send Madam Song and Nanny Li back to Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion.
However, she asked Song Yunxi to help her find a reliable bank to temporarily store the private property that Mrs. Song brought with her and the 100,000 taels of silver notes she got from Song Yunxi.
After a night of fermentation, the news that Wenyuanhou Mansion was once again burned by heavenly fire has become known to everyone. Wenyuanhou Mansion, which had just been repaired not long ago, was burned down by heavenly fire this time.
Some people have been speculating about what unforgivable and unscrupulous things the Song family had done to deserve being punished by God again and again.
Does it count as giving up your own biological daughter for an adopted daughter?
Some people linked the Song family's punishment by heavenly fire to the abandonment of Song Yunxi.
But soon, they understood why Tianhuo favored Wenyuan Hou Mansion alone.
Mrs. Song, who was trapped by the heavenly fire and waited for a long time for rescue and was seriously injured, was already dying when she was found by the servants in the mansion.
Madam Song was the mistress of the Wenyuan Marquis's mansion, but her husband Song Shaozhang and his two sons allowed her to be trapped in the sea of fire and ignored her life or death, but escaped with the so-called concubine who was caught in bed with him.
Song Shaozhang and his two sons became the target of public criticism, and Han Wan was labeled a shameless prostitute who had seduced the three of them at the same time.
Song Shaoyang always felt like he had forgotten something important, but he just couldn't remember it.
"Zhening, I always feel like I've forgotten something."
"Brother is nervous because of the sky fire. Father and Aunt Han have escaped safely. What else could be wrong?"
"makes sense."
It was clear that they all escaped safely from the skyfire, but Song Zheyang was still uneasy.
Although he was obviously very tired, he lay in bed without closing his eyes, and the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.
It was not until he was rebuked by Emperor Qinglong for being disobedient and unfilial during court proceedings and was asked in a sarcastic tone by the civil and military officials in the court who among his three sons had married Han Wan as his concubine, that he realized the source of his uneasiness that had been in his heart all night and how wrong he was.
He actually forgot about his mother. At such a dangerous moment, he actually abandoned his mother!
He really couldn't understand what was wrong with him and why he did such a ridiculous thing.
Song Zhening was calm, but he was full of complaints towards Madam Song: "It's all because of mother's unreasonable and intolerant attitude and always making things difficult for Aunt Wan, that's why we are alienated from her."
"I just forgot about her for a moment. Anyway, she has been rescued now and she is not injured. I don't understand why she is blaming us!"
"Song Zhening!"
Song Zheyang felt a chill run down his spine when he heard Song Zhening's matter-of-fact remarks. He sternly rebuked her, "She's our mother. Is that what you should say as a son?"
If this were to get out, he would not be able to gain a foothold in the court, let alone in the capital.
What Song Zhening feared the most was his elder brother. After being scolded by him with such a stern face, he dared not say a word.
Song Zheyang blamed himself: "Now my mother is in a coma. The doctor said that she inhaled too much smoke. Whether she can wake up depends on God's will."
Then he looked at Song Zhening who looked unconvinced: "That's our mother, do you really not feel the slightest bit of guilt?"
Thinking of his mother's love for him, because he was the second son, his mother was not as strict with him as his elder brother, and she always met all his requests with a smile, but he was so indifferent to his mother.
Song Zhening felt guilty and self-blaming: "Brother, I was wrong."
Song Zheyang regained his usual gentleness and patted his shoulder: "Since you know you are wrong, admit your mistake to your mother after she wakes up. She will definitely forgive you."
Song Zhening nodded, and then he heard Song Zheyang say self-deprecatingly: "What right do I have to criticize you? Didn't I also forget about my mother in such a dangerous time?"
"I also want to admit my mistakes to my mother and ask for her forgiveness."
Mrs. Song only fell into a coma due to excessive smoke inhalation and damage to her lungs after taking the pills given by Song Yunxi. In fact, she was very conscious and could hear the conversation between her two sons very clearly.
Her son forgot about her in times of crisis, but was obsessed with that bitch Han Wan, and even blamed her for being intolerant... She is really good!
As for admitting mistakes, she believed that there was an element of guilt involved, but it was definitely not because they really realized their mistakes, but for the sake of their own reputation and future.
