Chapter 992: 980 Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character (14) First Update

Song Shuyun had already left the house, yet a chill lingered in the room.

Zhaoying had said enough, no further explanation was needed at this point.

Zhou Sujun felt so embarrassed she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Just thinking about how she had just proudly come to claim credit with the wet nurse, and even told Old Master Song that Song Shuyun would be heartbroken next, she felt utterly mortified.

Especially with Zhaoying and other maids casting continuous glances her way, Zhou Sujun felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

As for Zhaoying’s detailed praise of Ye Shaohua, Zhou Sujun couldn’t bear to listen at all; she had originally thought Ye Shaohua was just an ordinary woman who had lost her father.

She had considered herself quite exceptional, but now, compared with Ye Shaohua, she felt more like a joke.

Zhou Sujun didn’t wait for Old Master Song to speak, she murmured an excuse and hastily fled the scene.

Old Master Song saw Zhou Sujun leave, but he was too preoccupied to concern himself with her.

Song Shuyun had not gone far; when he went to Ye Shaohua’s courtyard and received the letter she had left behind, he knew she had already left and ordered people to go out and look for her.

Only upon returning to his own yard and finding the medicine that the wet nurse had thrown away did he finally turn to look at her.

The wet nurse had been kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise her head. Feeling the gaze of Song Shuyun, her nerves tensed, and her scalp felt like it was about to explode, "Young Master, please hear me out..."

"Hmm, speak," Song Shuyun said, his eyes seemingly shrouded in a layer of smoke.

He gently wiped the dirt off the porcelain bottle with a snow-white handkerchief.

"I saw those people talking to the Young Madam..." the wet nurse stammered, "Those people were not from the Ye Family. I had no idea they would deceive you like this. Had I known earlier, I wouldn’t have hesitated to defy her even if it cost me my head."

Old Master Song finally came to his senses at this time. He had inquired with the butler, and found out that upon her departure, Ye Shaohua had not taken the twenty thousand taels of silver.

She had left the Song Family without taking anything at all.

Hearing the wet nurse’s words now, Old Master Song tried to console Song Shuyun, tired from the ordeal, "Shuyun, don’t blame the wet nurse. I was unaware of this matter, so how could she possibly have known? If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have been able to send out the situation of the Song residence. Don’t overthink it."

When Old Master Song heard from Zhaoying that Song Shuyun had been cured by Ye Shaohua, his heart skipped a beat.

He had initially believed that Ye Shaohua was as neglectful as the wet nurse described in caring for Song Shuyun. Thinking back to when he had driven Ye Shaohua away without listening to her explanation, he felt deep regret.

But with Ye Shaohua joining outsiders against the Song Family, even if Old Master Song felt guilty now, he would not allow Ye Shaohua to return.

"You’re saying she colluded with outsiders?" Song Shuyun turned to look at the wet nurse.

Not only did the wet nurse affirm it, but she also took out a portrait of the ruffian from her pocket and handed it to Song Shuyun.

Song Shuyun took it, but without so much as a glance, he tucked it into his sleeve.

The wet nurse had expected Song Shuyun to be angry, but seeing his reaction, it seemed that even if Ye Shaohua truly conspired with outsiders, it wouldn’t bother him in the slightest.

That was when someone came to report at the courtyard door that the Young Master from Jiangdong had arrived.

Having been unconscious for so long, Song Shuyun had not expected the grain from Jiangdong to still be delivered; could Old Master Song have successfully negotiated the deal?

He gave Old Master Song a look, somewhat surprised, but he said nothing.

He then instructed Zhaoying to discreetly search for Ye Shaohua.

And off he went to the study room to meet the Young Master from Jiangdong.

Old Master Song followed behind Song Shuyun, recounting the events that had taken place in the Song residence after he fell into a coma.

Listening to the story of how the Dowager had left the Song Family with the warehouse’s banknotes, Song Shuyun’s expression remained unchanged.

Watching Song Shuyun’s impassive face, Old Master Song increasingly felt that his son had become inscrutable since waking up this time.

The two of them headed to the study room together.

Along the way, Old Master Song and the butler briefly explained the current state of the Song Family. Even if they hadn’t explained clearly, Song Shuyun could guess some of the situation himself.

But the more he heard, the more curious he became about Old Master Song’s success in negotiating several good deals.

Knowing very well how clueless Old Master Song was in business, Song Shuyun found it odd that the Song Family had never successfully negotiated a business deal when they were not in trouble, yet now, in the midst of crisis, Old Master Song managed to negotiate several major deals, even saving the Song Family?

However, the study room was just ahead, and Song Shuyun did not inquire about the details.

Inside the study room, the Young Master from Jiangdong was shocked to see Song Shuyun, rumored to be comatose, walking in front of him. It took him a long while to recover.

Then he felt even more certain about his decision.

Most of the content he discussed with Song Shuyun was beyond Old Master Song’s comprehension.

As Song Shuyun listened, he found the situation strange, and cutting off the other party’s speech about the superior-grade grain route, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who did you say contacted you?"

"It was a young man in his twenties. Without the information he provided, I would have been stuck with five hundred thousand dans of unsold grain. I can’t discuss the specifics. However, he only asked me to cooperate with the Song Family. Seeing your reaction, isn’t he from the Song Family?" The Young Master from Jiangdong looked puzzled, "If he’s not one of your Song Family, then why is it so crucial that I work with the Song Family?"

Song Shuyun pursed his lips, took out the paper given to him by the wet nurse from his sleeve, and enquired with the Young Master from Jiangdong, "Was it this man?"

The portrait had been specially commissioned by the wet nurse to find evidence of Ye Shaohua’s collusion with outsiders.

While it might not have been a perfect likeness, but the key features were quite evident.

The moment the Young Master from Jiangdong saw it, he immediately replied, "Yes, that’s him, he even has a mole at the corner of his eye."

Song Shuyun clenched his fingers tightly, but he had anticipated this, and there wasn’t the slightest sign of surprise on his face.

He simply turned to face Old Master Song, who stood dumbfounded, "Do you understand now?"
