A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 359 Ending (28)

The night was as dark as ink, without moon or wind, and the surrounding fields were quiet.

When Song Shuyu rushed into the military tent under the stars and moon, the person inside quickly opened his eyes from a deep sleep.

"Daddy!"

A excited, choked-up cry resounded in Song Yan's heart like a thunderclap. Before he could react, a tall, thin figure rushed towards him, grabbed him as he was half-sitting up, and then forcefully pushed him back onto the bed!
The guards outside the tent immediately entered, lit a candle, and then quietly withdrew.

"Daddy, Daddy..."

Song Shuyu's scalding tears smeared Song Yan's face, and his heavy body made it impossible for Song Yan to get up.

Song Yan raised his rough hands and embraced his son in front of him. Just like when his son was a child, he gently stroked the back of his son's head and coaxed him softly, "Ayu, Daddy's here. Don't cry, don't cry."

"I have missed my father day and night, and finally... finally I have seen my father!"

Song Shuyu wept uncontrollably, just as bitterly as he had cried many years ago when he bid farewell to his father and brothers who were sent to guard the frontier.

Father and son are of one heart.

Joy, heartache, and pity all converged into a deep and profound fatherly love. Song Yan's eyes were red and swollen. "Ayu, Daddy misses you too. I want to see how tall Daddy's Ayu has grown, whether he's eating well, and whether he's been wronged..." "Ayu!"

As the curtain was lifted, another person rushed in like a whirlwind. By the light of the candlelight, he found Song Shuyu, who was sobbing uncontrollably against his father. His hands trembled as he placed them on Song Shuyu's shoulders, his eyes brimming with tears. "Ayu... is it really Ayu?"

With teary eyes, Song Shuyu looked at the person who came. After only a moment of stunned silence, she excitedly called out "Brother" and threw herself into Song Shuxing's arms, where she was tightly embraced by Song Shuxing!
Song Yan sat up and saw that his two sons were about the same height. Although Song Shuyu was rather thin, he was also strong and powerful. He couldn't help but smile. "Our Shuyu has grown up. He looks much better than in the portrait. But he's still the same little crybaby he was when he was a child."

Song Shuyu lifted her head from her brother's shoulder, wiped her eyes haphazardly with her sleeve, and looked very aggrieved. "Brother, Father is making fun of me."

Song Shuxing arrived in a hurry, wearing only a white undergarment and a casually draped outer garment over her shoulders. Her eyes were glistening with tears, and her gaze was exceptionally gentle. "It's alright. Brother cried too. It's not shameful to have brother here with you."

Song Yan gently stroked Song Shuyu's head, his moist eyes fixed on the familiar and dear face, and murmured, "I never thought that as Shuyu grows up, she'll look more and more like your mother."

Song Shuyu bent down and hugged his father again. He controlled his emotions and comforted his father with a pained expression, "Father, when we get home, I'll stay with you every day, okay?"

Song Shuxing moved two stools to the bedside, intending to break the heavy and sad atmosphere, and teased, "Dad, don't believe what A-Yu said. If he stays with you every day, what will happen to your future sister-in-law? How could A-Yu bear to part with her?"

“Yes, that’s true. Even if A-Yu stays with Father, he’s probably still thinking about other things.” Song Yan helped Song Shuyu up and pressed him down to sit, his eyes full of smiles.

However, upon hearing her father and brother's teasing, Song Shuyu's expression instantly darkened, and she looked like she was about to cry again. "Father, Qingcheng doesn't want me anymore, what should I do? What kind of family feud do our two families have? Is it related to her mother's death?"
