Chapter 910: Chapter 910: Protecting Her Grandson with Dominance
When Song Lingjie was unconscious, Song Ci had already learned the whole story from the mouths of the second childâs spouse, and couldnât help but marvel. In ancient times, even half-grown kids caused trouble with a professionalism that wasnât at all inferior to adults.
Just by listening to what the second child said, you could tell they had planned it well in advance, even calculating the most favorable time for running away, which was when Madam gave birth.
Now, look, with a newborn in the family, the household was in chaos, and surely they couldnât pay attention to these older kids, nor be particularly vigilant. Additionally, there was Song Lingzhouâs brothers breaking out in pox, which was even more beneficial.
Because the Jiang family was spinning like a top with all the busyness, they didnât realize the child had run away. By the time they noticed, well, the kid was out of sight.
Looking at the coupleâs worried expressions, Song Ci said, "Even so, donât be too harsh. Look what youâve done to the child by beating him so badly."
Everyoneâs eyes fell on Song Lingjie lying on the bed.
Song Zhichengâs eyes quickly flashed a hint of guilt but soon turned cold and hard, "I still think I didnât beat him hard enough. Mother, theyâve turned the world upside down. Not a word, not a sound, and they ran away. Do they think enlisting in the army is childâs play? Is it just a formality, a joke to them?"
Song Ci said, "That was also their own skill. You adults didnât notice, which is your negligence."
Well, this responsibility falls back on them now.
Song Zhicheng said bitterly, "Mother, letâs not talk about it anymore. Lately, the household has been chaotic, and you know this. We really didnât expect..."
Didnât expect the kid to have such audacity. In the past year or two, he certainly hadnât eaten courage capsules!
Song Zhicheng felt annoyed, grabbing his hair. Partly angry, partly embarrassed. A kid scheming right under his nose, and he had no ideaâhow could he not feel ashamed?
Besides embarrassment, there was even more worryânot knowing where the kid had gone. Without anyone accompanying him, could something have happened to him?
Thinking this way, Song Zhichengâs heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand, both aching and painful, leaving him breathless.
Damn it, he wanted to shake the kid awake and then beat him again.
Itâs driving me crazy.
"Mother, Father is right. Although Zhaoâer knows some martial arts, heâs still so young and has never traveled far from home. Thatâs one thing. But most importantly, he has no one with him. If he encounters any danger, I..." Jiang couldnât continue, already sobbing uncontrollably.
Song Zhicheng had to sit beside her, disregarding Song Ciâs presence, and gently patted Jiangâs shoulder to comfort her, "Donât worry, once we find out, weâll catch that damn kid and then you can break his legs so he canât run."
Seeing Jiang crying like this, Song Ciâs heart was also unwilling, but upon hearing Song Zhichengâs words, she couldnât help but sneer.
"So you say, once you catch him, then what? Clip his wings, break his legs, let him nestle in this pile of wealth as your obedient child, living a life unfulfilled?"
Song Zhicheng became stiff, and Jiangâs crying stopped, both of them somewhat at a loss.
Looking at them, Song Ci said, "Why did he choose to sneak away for military enlistment instead of doing it openly? Isnât it because he foresaw today? I want to ask, after you bring him back, what will happen to his aspiration to join the army?"
Cutting off his aspirations and imprisoning him?
Song Zhichengâs throat felt dry, his mouth moved but he couldnât say a word.
