Chapter 532 You are still alive

Song Huai'en glared at the man, trying to see his face clearly, but the blood on his forehead flowed into his eyes.

He quickly reached out to wipe it, and his funny look made people around him laugh.

Someone worriedly said, "He is the princess's father after all. Let's be quiet. If the princess hears, she will be angry."

"Princess? If I were a princess, I would wish this kind of father would die as far away as possible."

"When he moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, he didn't think about how a woman with two children would survive. Now he remembers that he has a daughter."

"No, after all the things he did before, how can he still have the nerve to come to me now?"

Listening to the accusations and ridicules of the crowd, Song Huai'en was furious and said, "There are no parents in the world who are not wrong. No matter what I am, I am still Song Yanxi's father.

If she dares to be disobedient and unfilial, I will file a petition before His Majesty and let Your Majesty make the decision for me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the onlookers all changed.

The man in fancy clothes even blurted out, "Are you really a parent?"

The people all knew that Emperor Xuande was not only filial himself, but also valued filial piety.

If an official was unfilial to his parents, he would be punished by being fined or even demoted and exiled.

Although there has never been a precedent of anyone accusing a daughter of being unfilial, if Song Huai'en really goes to the imperial court to file a complaint, His Majesty will certainly not sit idly by.

Even though he might not punish the princess severely because of her merits, he could not help but feel dissatisfied with her.

I heard that His Majesty is planning to arrange a marriage between Prince Jin and the Princess?

If Song Huai'en really made a scene and angered His Majesty, he would be so angry that he wouldn't grant the marriage...

When the people thought of this, they even wanted to kill him.

The man who had just spoken spat fiercely on the ground and said, "These days, there really are all kinds of stuff."

Song Huai'en covered his head and stood up from the ground. He asked with a gloomy face, "What's your name?"

The man crossed his arms and sneered, "Why, you can't blackmail the princess, so you're blackmailing me instead?

I will always keep my name and surname, Cheng Hao of the Cheng family."

"Cheng?" Song Huai'en's eyebrows jumped fiercely, and he asked with suppressed anger: "General Cheng Duan, who are you?"

"It's my cousin."

Seeing Song Huai'en's expression suddenly change, the man asked with a smile: "Just now, Yongchuan Hou asked how he wanted me to look good?"

As soon as he finished speaking, suppressed laughter could be heard all around.

If it were another family, the people might not know.

But everyone in the famous Cheng family, from the sixty-year-old old man to the three-year-old child, knew about it.

Not only was she from a wealthy and prestigious family, but she also gave birth to a golden phoenix. Not long after entering the palace, she gave birth to a pair of children for Emperor Xuande, and firmly established herself as a noble concubine.

Unfortunately, the Cheng family was also very capable. The eldest branch of the family raised a "little Ke Shan" without relying on nepotism. He was extremely brave on the battlefield and was made a general at a young age.

The other families also had children serving in the court, and each of them performed well.

Which prominent family in Beijing would not want to marry into the Cheng family?

Just the surname alone makes people dare not offend easily.

Not to mention, this person is Cheng Duan's cousin and a direct descendant of the Cheng family, and he is someone who cannot be offended easily.

In just one sentence, Song Huai'en was already covered in cold sweat and could barely stand.

He still remembered that the people of the Cheng family were the most protective of their own shortcomings.

Let’s not talk about others for now. If Concubine Yu holds a grudge against him because of this matter, how will his two children have a place to stay in the capital in the future?

Song Huai'en is at this age and is in this awkward position. He knows that he will not be able to make further progress in his career by relying on himself in this life.

But he was not willing to stop there, and he hired a special teacher early in the morning to teach the daughter he had with Lian Niang.

He was proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs.

Just waiting for a suitable opportunity to show up in front of people so that you can soar to the top and become a leader.

And next month, the banquet at Princess Huayang’s mansion will be the best opportunity.

With her status and influence, no one from the royal family will be absent. So many princes and nobles will be able to find a good future for his good daughter.

No matter how bad it is, she can still become a concubine in the royal palace.

This is exactly the reason why Song Huai'en came to the Princess's Mansion today.

Therefore, he must not offend this member of the Cheng family today.

Song Huai'en's mind turned, and with a faint smile on his face, he said, "So they are descendants of the Cheng family. I was just irritated by these two cunning servants and made a fool of myself for Master Cheng.

"Master Cheng, rest assured, when my unfilial daughter comes out, she will definitely deal with these two stubborn slaves."

Upon hearing this, Master Cheng's face turned even darker.

He couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "How can the Marquis of Yongchuan have the nerve to call the princess an unfilial daughter?"

Song Huai'en's face froze, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes, "Not only did you allow my servant to commit the crime, you blocked me outside the door, and even used violence against me.

Isn't this behavior unfilial?"

When Master Cheng heard this, he immediately laughed.

He turned to the accompanying servant and said, "Tell me, our Da'an's notorious unfilial son actually has the nerve to say that his own daughter is unfilial.

Interesting, really interesting."

Song Huai'en's face flushed red as he angrily said, "That's all nonsense. The old man in my family died of illness. This has nothing to do with me."

"Really? Do you dare to swear to God that your grandfather's serious illness has nothing to do with you?"

"Why shouldn't I?"

Song Huai'en pointed his finger at the sky and was about to speak when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

He turned around, looking angrily at Song Yanxi, who was standing on the steps, looking down at him, and asked, "Is this how the Yan family taught you to talk to your father?"

"Father?" Song Yanxi pulled the corner of her lips, looking at the face that was no longer similar to the one in her memory, and said sarcastically: "I never thought that you are still alive."

Song Huai'en was stunned and even suspected that he was hallucinating.

Does she even know what she is talking about?

In front of so many people, she dared to curse her father to death. She probably wouldn't want the title of princess anymore!

Song Huai'en was furious and pointed at Song Yanxi, saying, "You unfilial beast, now you're just a shitty princess and you don't even recognize your own father.

I'd like to go before His Majesty and ask how an unfilial beast like you can be worthy of the title of Princess."

When Song Yanxi heard this, she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

She stared at Song Huai'en with a stern look in her eyes and asked, "Did the Marquis of Yongchuan forget something?"

When he met her cold eyes, Song Huai'en felt a chill on his back.

But when he thought of his father's identity, he felt more confident and asked angrily, "What's the matter?"

Song Yanxi: "How did grandma die?"

Song Huai'en's eyes flickered as he said, "He died of a sudden illness. The servants of the Marquis' Mansion and the doctor who visited him that day can all testify to this."

"Really?" Song Yanxi looked at him steadily.

Even if she didn't say anything else, just these two words were enough to make Song Huai'en's heart hang in the air.

Could it be that this girl really knows something?
