Chapter 558: You kid, why are you so stubborn?

The moment the words came out of his mouth, Song Huai'en thought of something and his face turned pale.

He murmured, "That's impossible. I'm the only son the old man has. How could he possibly think of appointing a grandson over me?"

Thinking of the moment when Yan Qing took out the imperial edict in front of all the relatives and friends in the mourning hall, and the aura that seemed to want to die with him on the spot, he became more certain of this.

If the imperial edict was really obtained by the old man from Emperor Xuande, Yan Qing would definitely use this as an excuse to force him to return to the Marquis' Mansion and live a peaceful life with her.

Therefore, the imperial edict could only have been obtained by Yan Qing, who relied on the friendship between Old Man Yan and Emperor Xuande and shamelessly went to him to ask for it.

Thinking of this, Song Huai'en was no longer panicked and even found it a little funny.

Glancing at the door, he snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's my good daughter who's deliberately stirring up trouble in front of the prince and saying those slanderous words about me."

When Song Huai'en thought about how Song Yanxi, as a daughter, was not only disrespectful to him as a father, but even instigated the divorce between the couple, he felt extremely angry.

His daughter has been extremely cunning since she was a child and has always been disliked. Unexpectedly, she now dares to plot against him, her father.

The mother and daughter had always disliked Lian Niang and her daughter. Although they had never met in the past, they often spoke ill of the four of them behind their backs.

It was obvious that she must have hated his precious pearl.

He had seen a lot of jealousy and scheming between women.

How could we know that what happened today was not because Song Yanxi was jealous of Baozhu's love since childhood and deliberately destroyed her?

The more Song Huai'en thought about it, the angrier he became. He continued, "Your Highness, you don't know this. Song Yanxi has been a scheming person since she was a child. My parents are often angry with her because of her."

Mo Jinchuan laughed and asked, "I heard that the old marquis and the old lady were angered to death because of their son's unfilial behavior?"

"That's pure nonsense!" Song Huai'en's face turned pale and blue, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if this rebellious girl has grievances against me, she shouldn't be talking nonsense in front of the prince.

I am her biological father. If you put all this blame on me and spread it out, how can she, as his daughter, get any good out of it?"

The more Mo Yingxue listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She frowned and asked, "Are you really my fifth sister-in-law's father?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yanxi's cold voice rang out at the door, "He is not."

Song Huai'en was furious and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, you rebellious girl? Don't you even acknowledge your own bloodline?"

Thinking of something, he couldn't help but sneer, "People with unclear origins are not qualified to enter Prince Jin's palace even as concubines."

He stared at Song Yanxi intently and asked quietly, "So, my dear daughter, have you really thought it through?"

The words were full of threats.

Mo Yingxue was so angry after hearing this that she wanted to curse.

She gritted her teeth and said, "This is the first time I've seen you act like a father like this. You're so shameless!"

Her words were like a blow to the head, startling Song Huai'en instantly.

He was really crazy just now, and actually threatened Song Yanxi in front of Prince Jin and his sister.

If they leaked these words, wouldn't he be drowned in the spit of the people in the capital when he went out in the future?

The more Song Huai'en thought about it, the more frightened he became. He suppressed his anger and said, "Yan Xi, your father was just furious and said something foolish in the moment.

I think you won't bother with your father either."

Song Yanxi twitched the corners of her lips and asked instead of answering, "What did the Marquis of Yongchuan say about me just now?"

Song Huai'en's expression changed, and he said with some displeasure, "How can you be so stubborn, kid?

What I just said was nonsense, and since it is nonsense, it cannot be taken seriously."

The complaining look in his eyes clearly blamed her for embarrassing him in front of outsiders.

Song Yanxi couldn't help but smile when she heard that.

Her gaze met Mo Yingxue's eager eyes and she asked, "Princess Roujia, did you hear what Marquis Yongchuan said just now?"

"Of course I heard it."

Mo Yingxue snorted coldly and repeated with a stern face what Song Huai'en had just said about Song Yanxi being thoughtful and deliberately stirring up trouble.

After listening carefully, it was exactly the same.

Song Huai'en's expression at this moment could no longer be described as ugly.

He moved his lips as if he wanted to refute.

Song Yanxi spoke even faster, "Marquis Yongchuan is probably a forgetful person. That day at the Princess's Mansion, the bond between you and me as father and daughter was severed."

Song Huai'en's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted coldly, "You rebellious girl, why do you keep talking nonsense all day long!"

He looked at Mo Jinchuan and explained, "Your Highness, you don't know that the Japanese Marquis only wrote a divorce letter with my husband and Yan Shi.

The legal document only states that she is allowed to bring her dowry home, but these two children are still my Yongchuan Marquis's."

Thinking of Da'an's laws, Song Huai'en straightened his back and said, "Even if this comes before His Majesty, I will say the same thing."

The implication was that he wanted to ask whether Song Yanxi dared to deceive the emperor.

Song Yanxi naturally didn't dare to do that.

Even if she is not afraid of death, she still has to consider her mother and brother.

Not to mention, given Mr. Yan's personality, there is no way he would ignore his granddaughter.

Even for the sake of those relatives, Song Huai'en was certain that his daughter would not dare to bear the crime of deceiving the emperor.

He gave them two lives, a brother and a sister, but now he has not received any return from them, and he even lost a daughter.

Do you want to get rid of him?

She'd never dream of it!

Song Yanxi frowned, seeming to be embarrassed.

Seeing this, Song Huai'en raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said very considerately: "You are my father's eldest daughter, and the legitimate daughter of the Yongchuan Marquis Mansion.

As long as you don't act foolishly and oppose me in everything, you will still be my good daughter."

Facing his eyes that were already smiling as he thought he had won, Song Yanxi suddenly asked, "Did Marquis Yongchuan carefully read the divorce letter?"

Upon hearing this, Song Huai'en's expression became even colder.

How could he not have seen it?

That day, he returned to the Lotus Garden with a bruised face and nose. He had no time to pay attention to the concerns of Lian Niang and her daughter, and simply locked himself in the study.

He read the thin divorce letter over and over again all night long.

It was not until dawn that he realized that he had truly become a stranger to Yan Qing.

Given her temper, since they have already divorced, she will definitely never have any contact with him again.

Looking back, before they got married, they were very sweet to each other.

Over the past half month, whenever he had trouble falling asleep at night, he would go to the study under the pretext of reading, and carefully recall the happy but short-lived loving time he had with Yan Qing.

If possible, even if his legs were broken by this rebellious girl that day, he would never write that divorce letter and end his future with Yan Qing.

It would be great if there was a pill that could make one regret something in this world.

Looking at his struggling expression, Song Yanxi guessed something and felt sick.

She curled her lips and said sarcastically, "Since Lord Yongchuan has carefully read it, he should know that my sister and I were not mentioned in the letter."

Song Huai'en frowned and asked, "So what?"
