Chapter 64 Faithful

When madam Song returned home, it was already midnight. She was still the prime minister's daughter. So even if Song Guogong didn't like her anymore, if she really got lost, it would be hard for him to explain.

Plus, their children were watching everything.

Muddleheaded, she was thrown in front of the back door. When she was discovered by the servants, it was almost time for the sun to rise. The servants saw her and let out deep sighs of relief. They hastily brought her inside. Her momo treated her pretty well. She quickly patted the debris off madam Song's clothes and gave her food and water to drink: "Eat something quick. Were you cold outside?"

"Where's my husband?"

The momo saw she seemed different than before and said: "The master is in the main house."

"I'll go find him."

"Why don't you wait until it's morning." The momo lifted the bowl and coaxed her: "Come, let's eat."

That bowl was suddenly waved away. Madam Song said harshly: "It's not like I don't have hands or feet. I don't need you to feed me!"

When she was insane, she often threw tempers, however, her words here seemed to carry a hint of something else. While the momo stood puzzled, madam Song already got up and walked out. She followed the path in her memories and arrived at the main house.

At this time, it was still dark. The temperature outside was still chilly. She had some mud on her. Her black hair was also a complete mess. However, she didn't have the time to tidy up. When she reached the main house, the guards at the door were no longer fearful of her as before. While on the surface, they seemed respectful, this wasn't the case in their eyes. They said: "The master is already sleeping. Madam should return tomorrow morning."

Madam Song's face fell. She instantly slapped the guard: "Look carefully as to who you're talking to!"

The servant's expression turned indignant from being hit, however, they saw that Liu momo was still behind her, so they didn't dare to talk back. Madam Song scoffed coldly, looking like she's completely recovered. However, inside her eyes held less of her previous arrogance and more of a crazed look.

With force, she pushed open the door and walked straight towards the tightly closed bed curtains. She didn't even reach her destination when she heard an inquiry from inside: "It's already so late, why are you here?"

Song Guogong opened the bed curtains. When he glanced at her, his expression was very different from before. In his eyes revealed pure disgust: "Who let madam run around again? What are you guys waiting for? Bring her back."

The servants stepped up, but madam Song heard a voice from inside the bed. A very soft and pampered voice: "Who is it?"

A pure white arm landed on Song Guogong's shoulder. The pretty concubine took one look at madam Song and immediately flinched away: "Ah "

Song Guogong patted her comfortingly and said in a soft voice: "Don't be scared." Then he started ordering the servants in the back again: "Why are you guys just standing there? Liu momo? Take her away quickly!"

Li momo reached out to pull at madam Song, but the latter abruptly shrieked loudly. Eyes wild, she threw herself at Song Guogong: "How dare you---!"

Ever since she entered the family, no other woman appeared next to Song Guogong's side. Even all of the somewhat good looking maids were switched out by madam Song. She didn't allow anyone to get any ideas about Song Guogong and was terrified that someone would take away even a tiny bit of his attention. Who would have thought, not long after she went insane, her husband already started keeping a concubine behind her back.

Losing control due to her illness, she rushed at the pretty concubine hiding behind Song Guogong. That pretty concubine screamed sharply and immediately tried to withdraw further inside the bed. However, madam Song swiftly climbed onto the bed after her. Instantly, her sharp nails scratched across the concubine's beautiful face. Furious, Song Guogong grabbed her arm and started kicking her: "Hurry up and tie up this crazy woman and take her out!"

Hair disheveled, madam Song caught sight of the ridicule and pleased expression in that pretty concubine's eyes and began to struggle even more. However, she couldn't match the strength of the estate guards. Very quickly, she was tied up. Song Guogong touched the scratches that he had also received on his face during the struggle, so angry that he was trembling all over: "Lock her up. Hurry up and lock her up!"

Madam Song was quickly tied up tightly and brought back to her own courtyard. She was thrown bodily on to the bed. Her outburst was terrible. For a while, no one dared to get close. Liu momo placed some water for her from afar, and frowned. With nothing else she could do, she turned and walked out of the room, leaving two servants to guard the door.

Normally madam Song treated servants harshly, not to mention she hit one of the servants just now. The two waited for Liu momo to leave, then exchanged a look with each other. The servant that was hit by madam Song snuck into the room. Madam Song was currently trying to pull her arms out of the rope that tied up her body. In order to prevent her from screaming, her mouth was also blocked.

When that servant snuck in, she suddenly became vigilant. From her mouth came the sound of indiscernible shouts. Her scattered messy hair made her deranged expression even more terrifying. However, that servant wasn't scared at all. They even laughed coldly.

After she went insane, madam Song's position in the house took a sharp nosedive downward. Very quickly between her bouts of sanity, she realized her situation. As she did her best to control herself, she picked at her nails in hatred.

None of her children came to see her. Liu momo told her that they were all scared of her ever since she choked Song Zhen's neck once before during her insanity. After that, for the safety of the children, Song Guogong no longer allowed them to visit.

Sometimes, Song Ge would still come by, but he didn't speak much. After his feet were chopped off, his personality turned gloomy and taciturn.

Madam Song suddenly felt that her heart was filled with a huge amount of grievances. Panicked, she gasped for air, shook all over, screamed sharply. She very quickly discovered that her current state was extremely terrifying. She clearly didn't want to be like this, but it seemed like she couldn't control herself at all. This made her somewhat fearful of herself.

When she was finally permitted to leave her room, it was already three days later. Maybe it was because she behaved pretty well the last two days, Liu momo made the decision to untie her. She asked: "Where's that bitch?"

"You're already like this Just let the master do whatever he wants."

From their interactions in these few days, the momo discovered that madam Song's mentality right now was sometimes good, sometimes bad. Madam Song completely rejected her suggestion. Sighing, Liu momo could only help her make inquiries. She told madam Song: "These last few days, she said she has no appetite, so hasn't gone out much."

Alarm ringing loudly in her heart, madam Song couldn't resist becoming wrapped up in jealousy again: "No appetite?"

The time Song Guogong spent with that pretty concubine was not little. When he heard she had no appetite, he immediately summoned a physician into the estate to take a look. Unexpectedly, she was found to be pregnant.

Song Guogong felt half happy and half worried in his heart. On one hand he felt that he really shouldn't have this child. On the other hand, his heart softened under the pretty concubine's tearful face. Although Liu momo felt that because madam Song was insane, it was a good thing that Song Guogong found a new flame. But he was already getting on in age, so to want a child at this point was a bit too much. She told this matter to Madam Song.

That afternoon, madam Song carried a bowl of anti-abortion medication and walked into the main house dressed as a maid.

That pretty concubine was delicately eating a plum. When she heard the movement, she furrowed her fine eyebrows and said softly: "You can put it down."

Madam Song stared unblinkingly at her beautiful face and slowly walked over to put the medicine down. She took a large step and rushed forward, wrapping the rope that was used to bind her in the last few days around the concubine's neck. The handmaiden to the side was extremely startled and hastily tried to run outside. She was stopped by Liu momo: "The madam is xxxx the bitch. What are you yelling about?"

(Note: The author blocked out this word here, so use your imagination :D)

Inside the room, madam Song stared unblinkingly at the helpless beauty infront of her and said lowly and viciously: "He's my husband! My husband!"

Until the beauty in her arms no longer moved, she finally looked up slowly and walked towards the table. On top of the table had a small box. Inside was an incomplete piece of clothing for a small child. She reached in to grab the scissors from inside the box and returned to the beauty laying on the ground.

The spring chill receded and the temperature warmed up. Song Song ordered people to put some ventilation in for the greenhouse. He carefully examined the newly blossoming flowers. While he watered the plants, he also sprayed some bug spray to prevent the bugs from eating the roots. His care was very meticulous. Most of these flowers have blossomed one after the other. The green vines also grew pretty green leaves from where they hung off the wall stands, making the view extremely scenic.

Steward Qi jogged in from the corridor, gasping for air: "Wangfei, there has been a mishap."

"What happened?"

"Song Guogong's blind."

The golden sunlight spilled in from the opened windows and lit up Song Song's pure clear eyes. Expression unchanged, he asked indifferently: "How did he go blind?"

"It, it was that mad woman She killed Song Guogong's new concubine and cut open her corpse. When Song Guogong returned at night and got into bed, that bed was drenched in blood. He jumped in fear. Who would have expected that the crazy woman would suddenly rush out and poke out both of his eyeballs with her bare hands At the moment that crazy woman has regained her sanity, and is in control of the Song estate again. I heard she even locked Song Guogong up."

Song Song didn't even blink. He asked: "Can his eyes be treated?"

".... his two eyeballs aren't even there anymore. He'll remain blind for the rest of his life."

Song Song's fingers fiddled with a soft flower pedal: "Interesting."

Steward Qi looked at him.

Nearly two months had passed since the king's departure. During this time, wangfei rarely expressed any emotions outwardly. He gazed at this porcelain like face in front of him and faintly felt Song Song's previous soft, warm, and easily gullible behavior was a misperception.

He said: "Shouldn't we do something?"

Song Song smiled: "No rush."

In the darkness of the room, madam Song looked at her hands, then looked at Song Guogong who she bound to a pillar. Song Guogong's eyes were covered by bandages. On the white cloth's surface had two spots of bloodstains.

Madam Song's fingers trembled. She extremely detested that woman. How dare she steal her husband's attention. She also hated her husband, yet she really didn't mean to hurt him However at that time, she couldn't control herself at all. She only wanted her husband's gaze to remain on her forever. She had cupped Song Guogong's face and forced him to look at herself, but the man actually dared to push her away.

Since he was unwilling to look at her, then what's the point of having his eyes?

She laughed strangely for a moment, then abruptly covered her face and cried.

Yesterday, those actions of hers made her children even more afraid to get near her. When Song Guogong heard the noises she made, he felt fine hair rise on his back. He did his best to hold his breath and be quiet. However, after he lost his eyes, his hearing became more sensitive.

He heard Madam Song mumbling to herself: "It's all her fault. Qin Qinghe. She caused this. She made me become this freak of existence husband, husband "

She gently caressed Song Guogong's face, making him stiffen all over. He could only hear her say while crying: "It wasn't me who hurt you. It wasn't me. It was Qin Qinghe. It was Qin Qinghe who hurt us "

After she cried for a while, her tone of voice turned venomous: "I will definitely kill her, and the Qin family .. They don't care about me anymore, husband, wuuwuuwuuu."

Face deathly pale, Song Guogong felt terror come and go in waves in his heart, goosebumps rising over and over. The back of his scalp felt numb as if his skin was about to peel off.

Who knew how much time passed, eventually that frightening woman quieted down. Song Guogong finally took a breath, even his beard was shaking.

In the beginning, he was tied up. Later, perhaps she saw that he was harmless, so released his binds, and only didn't allow him to leave the room.

The current madam Song only went crazy intermittently. Most of the time, she was very rational, as if she was no different from any normal person. With Liu momo, who came from the Qin estate present, the servants didn't dare to help Song Guogong. Song Guogong even heard that when the Qin family sent people over to investigate, the servants all said that he lost his eyesight on accident during a fall, and that madam Song was very well. Upon hearing this, the Qin family couldn't forcibly bring her back.

He pondered over and over. The Qin family would never admit that madam Song had become this insane, insane enough to even kill people in such a ruthless manner. To prevent him from telling others the truth, they might try to silence him.

At this moment, even Song Ge was under madam Song's control. There's no way he would be any help. So the only person he could depend on was.

When steward Song gave a letter to steward Qi, he finally realized what Song Song was waiting for.

Hastily, he passed the letter to Song Song's hands and said: "Seems like Song Guogong ordered someone to deliver this here. Should we save him or not?"

Song Song repeatedly read that letter over and said: "Not interesting enough."

Steward Qi: "?"

Song Song slowly said: "The plea doesn't feel sincere. Let's leave him."

Steward Qi wiped away the sweat on his forehead and said: "In the end, he's your father. His eyes have been blind for 3 days now. What if"

"Since Madam Song is so faithful, loving him to such madness. He should be enjoying it."

Steward Qi: "... "

He didn't know if Song Guogong was enjoying it or not, but if it were him in that kind of situation, he definitely wouldn't be able to enjoy it.

Song Song held that letter and looked at it some more, before saying: "Hmm, what if I gave this letter to madam Song. Do you think she'll go crazy again and say, chop off both his hands?"

Steward Qi almost kneeled. Song Song looked at his expression and chuckled lightly: "Just kidding. You can go rescue him. Find someone to inform madam Song that it was the empress who brought away her husband."

Steward Qi hurriedly turned around to make arrangements. Song Song sat in front of the window, retrieving a brush to sketch out a person's appearance.

He suddenly understood why Li Xiao would draw him.

Because he missed him.
