Chapter 327 Going Mad in Public

Upon seeing that it was Aunt Wan who came out, Guo Rong's lips curled into a sneer, and her words became even more sarcastic: "Is there no one left in this huge Song mansion?"

"They actually sent a lowly concubine to greet our distinguished guest."

Seeing the crimson hue on Aunt Wan's lips, she was consumed by jealousy.

That's a brand new lipstick shade that just came out in the last couple of days! She searched every cosmetics shop but couldn't find it, and this lowly concubine actually had it!

"Ha, could it be that this Miss Song ran away from her arranged marriage with her family?"

She made another sarcastic remark, then covered half her face with a handkerchief, seemingly chuckling to herself.

"Alas, Madam Meng's skin has aged considerably lately, and she has developed several more wrinkles."

"She's probably worrying too much; after all, she's the matriarch of the family, unlike other women."

As she spoke, she affectedly touched her long, curled false eyelashes.

Don't think that this woman will get angry if she talks about concubines; she won't get angry at all.

After Song Youqing took her as a concubine, he never took any more. She was never short of money.

Most importantly, Song Tingwan treated her, her aunt, extremely well. She even gave birth to a son for Song Youqing, and the son was very well-educated and sensible.

Sigh, she just puts a little effort into dressing herself up, so she doesn't have to compete with other women for her attention.

Despite Song Youqing's bad temper, he listens to her every word, even though they occasionally bicker.

She lives a much better life than other mistresses of wealthy and powerful families, so what could she possibly be unhappy about?

Song Youqing had mentioned making her his official wife, but she didn't agree because she was afraid Song Tingwan would overthink it.

Whether you're doing well or not is enough for you to know; why care what others say?

Few concubines could live as freely as she did.

Guo Rong was angry at her vain look, but there was nothing she could do.

She also wanted to wear those false eyelashes, but her eyelids droop a bit, so they didn't look good no matter how she applied them!

"Look at you, you sly fox..."

"Brother Meng has arrived! I am so sorry for not welcoming you properly!"

Guo Rong opened her mouth to scold Aunt Wan again, when Song Youqing came out from inside.

"Go inside quickly, and don't say anything more."

"obedient!"

He turned his head and whispered to Aunt Wan, clearly protecting his woman.

This scene almost made Guo Rong so jealous she wanted to vomit blood.

No wonder Meng Jichang's concubines were saying behind Li Yunwan's back that she was lucky!

She was the only woman in the Song household, and a former courtesan at that, so she didn't have to resort to wits or courage! Unlike her, who was exhausted every day.

In front of outsiders, Li Yunwan gave Song Youqing face, saying, "Then I will go in first to prepare tea for our distinguished guest."

She obediently said something, then led the maid beside her into the room.

Song Youqing then welcomed the family into the house. As soon as they sat down, Meng Jichang went straight to the point: "I heard that your daughter has run away from the Song residence. Brother Song, you must give your elder brother an explanation!"

He kept a straight face and refused to accept the tea that his servants offered him, maintaining an air of superiority.

Li Yunwan took the tea from the servant and placed it on the table, saying with a smile, "Master Meng must be tired from your journey. Please have some tea first."

Guo Rong couldn't stand her like this; her young and beautiful face paired with her soft voice made it easy for men to fall into a trap of tenderness.

She snorted coldly, giving Li Yunwan a disapproving look. "Who's in the mood for tea anymore? It's a miracle they haven't died of anger after their unmarried daughter-in-law ran away."

Li Yunwan smiled without saying a word or criticizing her, after all, it was a fact that Song Tingwan had run away from the wedding.

Furthermore, if she were to have a falling out with another woman at home, Song Youqing would lose face.

She sat down on her own, her eyes involuntarily falling on Guo Jingyang, who hadn't said a word so far.

Right now, the chubby boy's eyes are clear and he looks no different from an ordinary person, but before he came, he must have cried and made a fuss like a madman, right?

Look, those clothes are covered in grime; they must have been rolling around on the ground in a rage.

It wasn't obvious from a distance, but she could see it clearly from close up.

Song Youqing assumed they had come to demand an explanation, and after offering apologies, he still said, "My daughter is still young and doesn't understand things."

"I would like to keep her by my side for a few more years, and I hope Brother Meng can understand."

He's been thinking about it these past few days and realizes he was indeed too impulsive.

While searching for his daughter, he also heard something shocking: when Meng Jingyang's illness flared up, he could actually hit people!

He thought it was just a minor problem, as Meng Jichang had said, and that it would get better with some medication.

So, isn't that just setting the Song family up? For their daughter to marry into that family would be like jumping into a fire pit!

If his wife knew this in the afterlife, she'd probably turn her coffin upside down!

As soon as he said that, Meng Jichang and Guo Rong's expressions changed, and even Meng Jingyang's face showed a reaction.

Fearing that news of him suddenly going mad outside would spread, Guo Rong quickly got up to comfort him, "Yang'er, Mother suddenly remembered there are still things to attend to at home."

"Would you like to come back with your mother?"

Meng Jingyang frowned and hesitated, not responding to her for a long time, which made Guo Rong very anxious.

Li Yunwan's eyes darted around, and she casually whispered to her maid, "Has Wan'er's favorite little raccoon been fed? I'll go check on it in a bit."

Meng Jingyang's eyes lit up when he heard this; he was most interested in the things that Song Tingwan liked.

"I'm not going with you!" He childishly shook off Guo Rong's hand; he was going to see Xiao Wan's little raccoon cat soon!

Guo Rong had naturally heard Li Yunwan's words, but she thought it was just her son being playful and didn't realize that Li Yunwan wanted to make Meng Jingyang go crazy in public.

She glared at Li Yunwan, then got angry again when she saw the golden cloud butterfly hairpin in her hair.

"Come with Mother!" Her voice rose considerably, carrying a hint of command.

Meng Jingyang pursed his lips. His mother usually spoke to him gently, but she had just yelled at him!

He plopped down on the ground and yelled at the top of his lungs, "You're a bad mother!"

"My mother is mean to me! My mother is bad!"

He started crying and fussing, his face quickly covered in tears and snot. Guo Rong looked up and glanced at him.

Seeing the strange looks from the people in the room, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly squatted down to comfort Meng Jingyang, "Yang'er, don't be sad. Mother was just in a hurry to get home and raised her voice a little."

"Your mother didn't scold you."

She nervously wiped Meng Jingyang's face, then looked up, her face full of embarrassment. "Yang'er... he just spoils him too much usually."

It was unclear who she was referring to, but Li Yunwan's lips curled into a slight smile before she feigned alarm, "Oh dear! I think your son is acting a bit strange?"

"Has he gone mad? We must find a doctor to see him quickly!"

Song Youqing's face turned ashen; seeing is believing.

"Steward Song! Quickly summon the family physician for Young Master Meng!"

He gave the order, and Butler Song immediately rushed out.

"no need!"

Meng Jichang stood up abruptly, his shrewd eyes lingering on Li Yunwan's face for a moment.

"Heh, you'd better find your daughter first."

"otherwise……"

He didn't say the rest, but Li Yunwan and Song Youqing both understood what he meant.

Isn't this just robbing them by force?!

Song Youqing was momentarily speechless, but Li Yunwan smiled charmingly and said, "Of course, no need for Master Meng to trouble himself."

"We would never let outsiders find our own children."

Meng Jichang's chest heaved violently, and he was even more furious when he saw Meng Jingyang crying and making a scene on the ground.

"Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Get up from the ground right now!"
