Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 348 There is an assassin

After admiring the cake tower, Mrs. An Huaibo walked slowly to the main courtyard. She was not very familiar with Su Fuqing, but she felt quite happy to have Song Chunlin sitting next to her and chatting with them.

Everyone was chatting and occasionally teasing the little master. The little master was able to eat and sleep after he was born. He was white and chubby and very cute. He was also a child who loved to laugh very much. He always smiled at everyone he met. Zhou Ning put his son next to the little master, and the two little guys babbled in children's language, which made everyone present laugh.

A boy with big eyes and a fair and delicate face looked at the two little ones. He seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but teasing the two children.

"The two children aren't that different, why not arrange a marriage for them?"

As soon as these words came out, many people's faces changed slightly, especially Su Fuqing. He subconsciously looked at Zhou Ning. Zhou Ning noticed his gaze. The emotions in the other person's eyes were too complicated for Zhou Ning to understand. He simply didn't look at him, but smiled faintly at everyone and said:

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Who can predict the future? Marriage is not a joke. They both need to agree. If they are willing when they grow up, I have no objection. But if they are not willing, even if I am his father, I don't want to force him to marry someone he doesn't like and delay others for nothing."

Zhou Ning's words were a clear rejection. The person who proposed the child marriage looked a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say to make up for it, so he cast his hopeful eyes on Su Fuqing.

Su Fuqing cursed this man in his heart for being too talkative, but he still had to keep smiling on his face.

"Sister Song is right. Only marriages between two people who love each other can last. The two children are still young. No one can predict what will happen in the future. If they like each other when they grow up and Sister Song has no objection, then I naturally have no objection. Everything should be based on the wishes of the children."

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Ning, and the two smiled at each other at this moment, and their past grudges were completely resolved.

The person who had just spoken immediately realized that he had made a fool of himself. This time he was afraid that he had completely lost face in front of the Marquis's wife, and he couldn't help but regret his own talkativeness.

Fortunately, at this time, voices came from outside that someone was allowed to watch a show, which broke the awkward atmosphere.

The troupe was specially invited by the steward. As the only two masters of the marquis's mansion, Su Fuqing naturally had to go out to watch the show with them. The child was held by the wet nurse and sat beside her. Zhou Ning and his own son Dun Dun were placed in the seat next to Su Fuqing, closer to the front than Song Chunlin. This move caused everyone to talk about it in private. Coupled with the previous engagement incident in the house, these people found a lot of topics to talk about.

Song Chunlin had good hearing, and he felt a little uneasy here. There were many things he really didn't want to hear, but he had no choice but to listen. He had to put on a fake smile to cope with the conversation, and soon he felt his face was becoming stiff from smiling.

Song Chunlin couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that there was still a long time before the meal started, he secretly leaned close to Zhou Ning's ear and whispered to him that he wanted to go out for a walk.

Zhou Ning knew that he must be holding it in, so he smiled and pointed to the next room. Su Fuqing was talking to the wet nurse with his head down. Song Chunlin listened for a few words and it seemed that little Gu Mingzhu had diarrhea again, so Su Fuqing asked the wet nurse to take the little master downstairs to change his diaper.

Song Chunlin simply raised his hand and volunteered to help change the young master's diaper. After Su Fuqing got to know Song Chunlin better, he naturally knew that this guy must be restless. He didn't like changing diapers for children, no matter how much he liked the child.

However, Su Fuqing saw through it but did not say anything, and still agreed to it. Just as Song Chunlin was about to cheer, Zhou Ning beside him pushed his son into his arms and looked at him with a smile.

"Since Chunlin is free, change your eldest nephew's diaper as well. I have one in my room, so you don't have to go all the way to the main courtyard."

Song Chunlin looked at his older nephew who was stuffed into his arms, and thought that he could not escape this disaster. He could only resign himself to his fate, holding his younger nephew, and followed the nanny to change diapers for the two children.

The courtyard where the Song family lived was not far from the garden where they listened to the opera, so they arrived there in a short walk. Because Dundun was wearing a diaper, the nanny didn't know how to put it on the little prince, and in the end it was Song Chunlin who helped her put it on. It was the first time for the nanny to see such a diaper, and she couldn't help but marvel at it.

In fact, the little master also wore diapers at night, but he slept with Gu Fengyun and his wife at night, so Gu Fengyun helped him change his diapers. He only changed into diapers during the day. The changed diapers were directly thrown away and did not need to be taken care of at all. The nanny had naturally never seen such diapers, so she found it strange.

"Only rich families can see such good things. When we took care of our children, we just cut pieces of cloth from old clothes and used them as diaper rings."

When Song Chunlin heard this, he just smiled and said nothing.

After changing the children's diapers, they were not in a hurry to go out. The two children had not taken a nap today. They were quite excited staying in a crowded place just now. Now that it was quieter around them, they felt a little sleepy and their eyelids were fighting. Song Chunlin asked the nanny to look after them and went out for a walk.

Song Chunlin walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He originally wanted to go to the front yard to see if there was anything else he could do. However, when he was about to reach the main courtyard, he stopped because he seemed to see a very familiar figure. Although it was a little... no, very different from what he remembered, Song Chunlin felt that he did not seem to be mistaken. That person was Feng Shichang. He was much thinner and was wearing a servant's clothes. Song Chunlin remembered that these seemed to be the clothes of a temporary helper, but why was he here too?

Something is wrong, something has happened. Song Chunlin did not have a good impression of Feng Shichang. How could a man who could force other people's children to be buried alive with his own son have any conscience? Song Chunlin subconsciously stood in place and summoned vines to follow Feng Shichang.

Feng Shichang was seen keeping his head down, avoiding other people passing by, pretending to be busy. Seeing that he was wearing a servant's clothes, everyone did not think much of it and just thought he was running errands for his masters. As a result, this old thief actually sneaked all the way to the main courtyard.

The masters are now either greeting guests in the front yard or watching a play in the garden. The servants in the main courtyard have been transferred to other places to help. Since the masters are not around anyway, only a few servants are left in the yard to sweep the floor, and they are now lazing around in the house.

Song Chunlin frowned, thinking that the servants in this marquis' mansion should be disciplined. They were too chaotic.

He was still complaining in his mind about the lax management of the servants in the Marquis' Mansion, but his mental power saw Feng Shichang walking straight into the main courtyard. His goal was clear, which was to find the bedroom where the masters lived, that is, the bedroom of Gu Fengyun and Su Fuqing.

Song Chunlin didn't realize what this man was trying to do at first, but when he looked at his destination, he immediately realized that his target was Su Fuqing.

Thinking of how this man had cruelly forced Zhou Ning to be buried with his eldest son, Song Chunlin instinctively felt that this man must have come here for no good reason. Who knows, he might have come here just for the young master.

No, that's not right. He must have come for the young master. This man has an obsession in his heart. He once thought of locking Su Fuqing up at home and finding a few men to give birth to children for Su Fuqing to continue the Feng family's bloodline. After learning that Su Fuqing had successfully given birth to a boy, would such a person sit back and watch and let it go?

No matter what his purpose was, Song Chunlin must not let this man succeed, so he walked quickly to the main courtyard with a sullen face. When he arrived, Feng Shichang was a little frustrated because he couldn't find the child.

"Strange, I clearly saw the wet nurse carrying the child back, how come one or two of them are gone?" Feng Shichang didn't understand why there was a group of people when they left, but when they arrived at the main courtyard, there was no one to be seen. Did they go somewhere else?

But all of the young master’s things were in the main courtyard. How could they not come back but go somewhere else if they wanted to change the child’s diaper?

Song Chunlin was standing at the door. When he heard him say that both of them were missing, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Could it be that this old man wanted to spare even his eldest nephew?

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Song Chunlin acted decisively and summoned vines to tie up Feng Shichang.

Feng Shichang, who was walking around in the room, was suddenly tied up by a vine. He stretched out his hand to pull the vine off, but his wrist was also tied up by the vine. Soon, the vine also tied up his mouth tightly. Soon, he could only breathe through one nostril to avoid suffocation.

Song Chunlin walked in and kicked Feng Shichang, who was tied up like a dumpling on the ground.

"You old thing, you dare to attack two children? You are lucky that today is a good day. If it were any other time, I would have cut you into pieces and thrown you to the dogs."

When Feng Shichang heard Song Chunlin's voice, he struggled even harder. He didn't know who the person in front of him was, but the murderous intent in the other party's words did not seem fake. It seemed that if it were any other time, he would really kill himself.

Feng Shichang didn't want to die yet, so he curled up on the ground and wanted to escape. However, his eyes were covered and he couldn't tell the direction. He didn't know that the direction he was curling up in was actually the wall, not the door.

After Song Chunlin tied up the man, he didn't know what to do. After scratching his head, he called the servants who were lazy in the house and told them to drag the pile of garbage on the ground to the backyard first.

Looking at the human figure wrapped tightly in vines, several servants were shocked and subconsciously felt that they were finished. They actually neglected their duties and let the assassin enter the yard.

"Young Master Song! Please, please speak a few good words for us in front of the Marquis and his wife. We just went back to our room to take a break because we have finished our work for the day. We really didn't mean to let this bad guy in."

Song Chunlin didn't want to listen to these people's nonsense, so he waved his hand and signaled them to drag the people away first. As for their laziness, he would report it truthfully later. As for how Gu Fengyun and Su Fuqing wanted to punish them, that was none of his business.

Hearing that Song Chunlin did not want to speak well of them, the servants became disheartened. However, Song Chunlin's next words rekindled their hope.

"However, considering that you are just servants cleaning the place, the Marquis will not punish you too severely. After all, the steward and the guards have a greater responsibility for letting this man in."

The servants thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. Hope was rekindled in their hearts. They quickly dragged the person off the ground and threw him into the woodshed.

Gu Fengyun and Su Fuqing over there didn't know about this yet. Song Chunlin couldn't tell Gu Fengyun about this in person, so he had to sneak back to the garden where he had listened to the opera. Seeing that everything was normal inside, he thought it would be better to wait until the dinner was over before dealing with Feng Shichang.

When Zhou Ning saw Song Chunlin coming back, he asked about Dun Dun's situation. He learned that his son was taking a nap with the young master and was being watched by a wet nurse and a maid. He didn't worry too much and continued to sit and watch the show.

After watching this play, the banquet was about to start. Su Fuqing led everyone to their seats. During the banquet, many people praised the giant cake tower sent by the Song family. They also asked Song Chunlin privately how much the cake tower cost and how many days of reservation were required.

Song Chunlin only told them to ask the manager of Xingchengfang. All matters over there are handled by the manager Shumo, so it would be right to ask him.

When the dishes were halfway served, the two children finally woke up and were carried out by the nanny and the maids.

Song Dundun didn't know if it was because she and the young master woke up in bed together and developed a special revolutionary friendship, but she kept holding on to the young master's sleeve and refused to let go, making all the guests laugh.

Taking the young master around the banquet, many people put the small gifts they had with them into his hands. The maid behind him was responsible for collecting these things for him. After walking around the banquet, the little guy had a great harvest. The small gifts in that basket were enough to buy a shop in the capital.

After teasing the little guy, the adults continued to drink, and the two children were taken away to drink milk.

It was not until Su Fuqing brought the child back to the main courtyard that he learned from the servants that Song Chunlin had actually captured an assassin.

When he heard that there was an assassin, Su Fuqing's heart tightened and he held the child a little tighter. Knowing that the assassin had been tied up and captured by Song Chunlin, he finally felt relieved.

At this moment, he was somewhat thankful that his children were not in the main courtyard. Instead, he listened to Zhou Ning and brought the children here to change diapers. If he had returned to the main courtyard at that time, he didn't know whether the two children would have encountered any accidents.

"Have you figured out who the assassin is?"

The servants all shook their heads: "Young Master Song only asked us to drag the man to the woodshed in the backyard and lock him up. He didn't say much else."

Su Fuqing had a bad feeling in his heart, but now was not a good time to interrogate, so he could only put the matter aside and deal with the banquet outside first.
