After picking up the White Cut Black Prince

Song Yusheng was very strong, and Wen Chu's arm hurt. She came to her senses and shook her head slightly at Qi Ziyuan, signaling him not to get entangled with Song Yusheng anymore. Qi Ziyuan should not provoke Song Yusheng. Although she had been away from Kyoto for many years, she could still see these things clearly.

The Song family is in its heyday and has the potential to prosper forever. The Qi family is on the side of the Crown Prince, so naturally they have to maintain good relations with the Song family. How could they allow these rifts to arise because of her? If that were the case, she would be to blame.

Qi Ziyuan was at a loss when he saw Wen Chu like this. If she nodded, he would naturally ignore it, but she just kept shaking her head at him.

He was always unwilling to go against her wishes.

Wen Chu's action instantly deflated him. Even if he wanted to argue again, he couldn't. In the end, he could only take a deep look at Wen Chu behind Song Yusheng and leave.

The crown prince saw Qi Ziyuan's distraught look after he came back, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you just say you were going to relieve yourself? Is there a monster in the bathroom that has sucked your soul?"

Qi Ziyuan ignored Li Weiyan's teasing and looked at him with a look of hesitation. He was thinking whether he should tell Li Weiyan that the little maidservant beside Song Yusheng was Li Zhaoxi. That day, the crown prince lost his composure for the first time after meeting Wen Chu in the palace. If he told him, the two siblings would recognize each other and everyone would be happy.

But the look on her face showed that she clearly didn't want to recognize them. If he exposed this matter directly, she would definitely be angry. Thinking of this, he swallowed the matter back and made up a lie to deal with it.

Today's banquet was very lively, and the guests did not leave until it was completely dark.

After everyone left, only the Song family was left in Rong'an Hall.

The whole family was in the main hall of Rong'an Hall, saying auspicious words to the old lady to wish her a happy birthday.

Today was her birthday. The old lady was wearing the imperial robes of a first-rank lady, sitting on the main seat, with a smile on her face. Her three sons were relieved to see this. They thought that the grand and lively celebration today was just to please their mother. If she was happy, they would be relieved.

After hearing the auspicious words, Old Madam Song looked at the room full of children and grandchildren and said, "It's great. I am an old woman and I can still see you all gathered here in a lively atmosphere. This is also a blessing I have earned."

Duke Song Lin said: "Mother, please be careful. Your health is the greatest blessing for your descendants."

Mr. Song Er and Mr. Song San agreed.

The third master of the Song family's biological mother passed away early, and he was raised by the old lady since he was young. In the eyes of the old lady, this illegitimate son was no different from his two brothers.

Old Madam Song just smiled slightly and didn't take these words to heart. She continued, "Today, I will take this opportunity to say some repetitive words. Please don't dislike my nagging."

"Mother is serious."

"As you know, people outside are envious of how noble the Duke's Mansion is, but you are the descendants of the Duke's Mansion, and you understand best how difficult it is for the Duke's Mansion to get to where it is today. Qi'an, you are the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, and grandma asks you, what is the most important thing for a family to prosper forever?"

When the old lady mentioned Song Yusheng, everyone present had different opinions, wondering what the old lady wanted to say.

Song Yusheng stood up and said, "When my grandfather was alive, he often said: Be virtuous and be close to the nine clans. When the nine clans are harmonious, the people will be governed fairly. When the people are enlightened, the nations will be in harmony. Qi'an believes that only when the head of the family can distinguish right from wrong and act like a gentleman can the family last long. Otherwise, the family will not be at peace, the country will not be stable, and the people will be displaced. The country needs a wise and enlightened ruler, and the family should also have a wise and enlightened ruler. Qi'an understands what my grandmother means, and will definitely restrain himself, return to propriety, and be strict with himself."

Song Yusheng knew what Old Madam Song wanted to say, but his words were completely off topic, and not a single word touched the old lady's heart.

As expected, Old Madam Song's smile faded a little. She said, "You are right, but what grandma wants to tell you is that if a family wants to prosper, it must have deep roots and flourishing leaves, many descendants, and brothers who are friendly and respectful to each other. Harmony is the most precious thing in everything. If something bad happens, you can't think of drawing a sword and attacking, but think that if one prospers, all prosper, and if one suffers, all suffer. The master must treat everyone equally and be open-minded, right? Even if there are some things that happen between brothers, they are just some small things to prevent suspicion. There is no need to take it to heart, right?"

If a family wants to be prominent, it is naturally necessary for its descendants to help each other.

Isn't the meaning of these words to ask Song Yusheng not to pursue Song Yuyuan's fault? Even if this incident was really caused by Song Yuyuan, she also wants him to let bygones be bygones and let it go lightly.

Song Yusheng had always been able to understand everything he heard. The moment the old lady opened her mouth, he guessed that she was going to say something like this.

With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Grandma's teachings are right. I hope you will remember them in your heart."

The old lady's words caused everyone to speculate, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was deliberately giving Song Yusheng a warning.

When Madam Song heard this, her face turned pale and blue with anger. Others were about to stab her son in the face with a knife, but he still said it was a trivial matter that was not to be suspected. She was so angry that she opened her mouth to argue, but she saw that Song Yusheng had already left.

When Old Madam Song saw Song Yusheng leave, she stopped talking and just said that she was tired, and asked them all to leave.

The entire Rong'an Hall fell silent in an instant.

The old lady was already old and was extremely tired after a day's work. She allowed the nanny beside her to help her into the inner room.

When she was no longer tense, her figure was slightly hunched.

As she walked, she said, "Do you think Qi'an will listen to me?"

The nanny said, "The prince is a man of propriety. He always has to take into account some brotherly affection."

The old lady sighed and said, "He still feels resentful about what happened back then. How come he can't let it go? He has read so many books, why doesn't he understand the principle of rebirth and rebirth from the ashes? It would have been fine if he could just get over it, but why did he become estranged from his family as well? I don't understand, I really can't understand."

Mammy was an old lady who followed the old lady. She also knew what happened in the past from the old lady's mouth. When she heard this, she had nothing to say and could only say some words of comfort and persuasion.

*
Obviously, Song Yusheng didn't take the old lady's words to heart. If Song Yusheng heard these words when he was young, he might be worried about them, but now, he no longer does that.

Not to mention those bland admonitions, why should they be taken to heart?

Wen Chu followed Song Yusheng back to Yuhui Hall. Song Yusheng did not scold her on the way, probably waiting to settle all the old and new accounts after returning to Yuhui Hall. As expected, as soon as she returned to the hall, she heard him attacking her.

He sat on a red rosewood armchair, his arms casually resting on the armrests on both sides. His voice sounded even colder than usual, with a hint of hostility. He said, "You really made me proud. You can cause trouble wherever you go. Do you have to have your hands and feet cut off and be locked up in the house before you can be content?"

Chunfeng was about to come in to report something, but when he heard this he stood still and didn't dare to say a word.

The main room was dark without any lights on, and only the moonlight from outside shone in, bringing a little light. In the darkness, Song Yusheng's eyes were like a deep pool, bottomless.

Wen Chu didn't expect Song Yusheng's words to be so harsh. She was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, her face looked extremely ugly.

He disliked me so much, was it because I went to have my fortune told? Even if it was her fault that she was caught by Madam Song, why did he say it so harshly?

She said, "You despise me for being shameful, and you also think these are not presentable things? But if I don't even know this, you can't afford the medicine. I work so hard to tell your fortune and earn money to buy medicine, but you despise me? And what's the difference between this and having your hands and feet cut off?"

No matter how Song Yusheng treats her, it doesn't matter. Anyone can look down on this thing, but why should Song Yusheng look down on it?

Song Yusheng's face darkened when he heard this. He said, "You work so hard to make money by fortune-telling, and you still can't pay back the five hundred taels? I've made you bring it up again and again, which makes me seem so ungrateful, right? What? When you saw Qi Ziyuan today and he said a few words for you, did you think he was going to help you? You usually don't say anything, but today you are so intolerable? He left, but you are left in Yuhui Hall with a more mature temper."

Song Yusheng's words were full of pearls, leaving Wen Chu no room for rebuttal. However, Wen Chu got angry and argued regardless, "What does this have to do with Qi Ziyuan? Why do you want to humiliate others and use him as a raft?"

He himself was scolded by Madam Qi today, and he took it out on her. It was always like this. It was not pleasant to scold her when he was upset by others. Today, he argued with him and was just going to get spanked. He could not escape it anyway, so he might as well say a few words to him to vent his anger.

Chunfeng and Chenxiang were sweating profusely when they heard this. Chenxiang didn't dare to offend Song Yusheng at this time, but why did she feel that Wen Chu didn't want to live when she said these words? I haven't seen her write a suicide note or leave a will recently.

Song Yusheng let out the most sarcastic sneer in his life. He said, "When did you have anything to do with him again? Then why don't you just ask him to take you away today? Anyway, he has already asked you. If you want to leave, he will do his best to take you away. Why don't you just agree to his request?"

No one else heard what Qi Ziyuan said in Wen Chu's ear today, but he did.

Doing everything he can to take her away? Why does he think he has the ability to take her away?
Song Yusheng gnashed his teeth as he spoke these words. Even though Chunfeng had been with Song Yusheng for so many years, he never knew when he would be so angry. The last time he was so angry was when he knew that he had been sold by Wen Chu.

Wen Chu didn't want to involve Qi Ziyuan in this, she said: "Why do you have to get involved with him! And I've told you a long time ago that I don't want the money, I'll just return it to you and we'll be even. Being your maid, I've been worried all day and can't sleep well. Besides, you asked me not to mention the time I saved you, I'm your savior, why can't I mention it? You think you can get away with it with five hundred taels, right? In addition to earning money to buy medicine, I helped you with everything from eating to going to the toilet, cleaning and dressing yourself."

Before she finished speaking, the man sitting in the armchair suddenly stood up.

Wen Chu is always like this, his mouth is floating in front and his soul is flying behind, he doesn't care about what happens after his death, he just wants to have a good mouth.

Seeing that Song Yusheng was really annoyed, she tried to run away, but as soon as Fang turned around, Chunfeng blocked her way.

Song Yusheng walked step by step behind Wen Chu. The sound of his footsteps seemed to be stepping on Wen Chu's heart. It was clearly summer, but she felt a chill on her back for no reason.

"If you didn't run away, I would have respected your backbone. Now you want to run away, you're really thinking well."

At this time, Song Liqing's voice was heard outside the house. She was afraid that Song Yusheng would embarrass Wen Chu because of today's events. After dealing with her mother, she quickly ran to Yuhuitang.

Several people in the room heard Song Liqing's cry. When Wen Chu heard her voice, he wanted to shout for help, but was caught off guard and covered his mouth by Song Yusheng who was approaching from behind.

All she could make was a "wuwu" sound, and the rest of the sound was transformed into his palm.

Song Yusheng said to Chunfeng, "Go outside and send her away."

This "she" is naturally Song Liqing.

After Chunfeng received the order, he walked outside.

Song Yusheng dragged Wen Chu into the inner cleaning room. He was a head taller than Wen Chu, and he covered Wen Chu's mouth, making him unable to move at all.

She didn't know what Song Yusheng wanted to do, so she could only keep struggling.

It was already midnight, and the maids were afraid that Song Yusheng would need to wash up as soon as he came back, so they had already prepared warm water for bathing in the bathroom.

The bathroom was filled with steamy hot mist. Wen Chu was pulled in forcefully by him and pressed to the edge of the bathtub by Song Yusheng. After taking off his shoes and socks, he was pushed into the bathtub with one palm.

Before she could react to what was happening, she was thrown into the tub. The tub was too big and she struggled around in it before she finally stood up.

She rubbed her watery eyes, looked at Song Yusheng and cursed, "Are you crazy?!"

Wen Chu's body was completely soaked with water, and his hair was all stuck to his face. It was not known whether it was because of anger or the hot steam on his face, but his fair face was red as blood.

She wanted to get out of the bathtub, but Song Yusheng pushed her back with a palm.

He bent down, looked at Wen Chu and said, "Since you are so bothered by serving me and relieving myself, well, let me serve you once today."
