Chapter 60 Regret
As soon as the Duke of Weiguo got off duty and returned to the mansion, he heard from the servants that Song Zhichen had not eaten for several days and had been drinking non-stop.
Without even having time to change his clothes, he went to Song Zhichen's yard angrily.
As soon as he entered the room, Duke Weiguo saw Song Zhichen sitting on the ground in a daze, holding a jar of wine.
The reason why Zhou Ying fell in love with Song Zhichen was mainly because he was good-looking.
Song Zhichen now no longer has the elegant appearance he used to have. His chin is covered with green beard, his hair is messy, and there are black eyes.
The whole person looks a lot thinner.
Looking at Song Zhichen, who was in a state of collapse and like a puddle of mud, Duke Weiguo felt indescribably disappointed.
If a child is not taught, it is the father's fault.
As a father, he also has some responsibility for Song Zhichen's current situation.
After all, he was the eldest son, and Duke Weiguo had placed high hopes on Song Zhichen and regarded him as the heir to the Duke's Mansion.
Unfortunately, Song Zhichen still disappointed him.
The heir to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion must not be a person who is obsessed with women.
For the future of the Duke's Mansion, Duke Weiguo made a prompt decision and chose to train his grandson.
As it turned out, this decision was correct.
The thing that Duke Weiguo regrets the most now is that after he decided to give up Song Zhichen, he focused all his attention on Song Ye and basically stopped asking about Song Zhichen's affairs.
It is precisely because of his indulgence that Song Zhichen becomes more and more a jerk.
This time, Song Zhichen was such a jerk that Zhou Ying asked for a divorce, and his own son also completely broke off relations with him.
Duke Weiguo walked straight up to Song Zhichen without saying a word and kicked him.
"Useless stupid thing."
He was deceived by a prostitute and now has lost his wife and is separated from his excellent son, but he can only drown his sorrows in alcohol.
Song Zhichen didn't say anything, just held the jar and started drinking again.
Duke Weiguo was furious and kicked him again.
This time, Song Zhichen was kicked to the ground.
He slowly got up from the ground and gently brushed the dust off his robe.
"Dad, have you beaten me enough? If not, you can continue beating me."
When the Duke of Weiguo saw Song Zhichen's indifferent look, he became even angrier and slapped him twice.
"Do you think that hiding at home and becoming an alcoholic can smooth over all the bad things you did in the past?"
As he said this, he snatched the wine jar from Song Zhichen's hand, dragged Song Zhichen to a large water vat in the corner of the yard, and pressed his head down.
The maids and servants all stood aside trembling, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade them.
The biting cold water sobered Song Zhichen up instantly, and he began to struggle desperately in the water.
Duke Weiguo let Song Zhichen struggle for a long time before letting go. Song Zhichen suddenly fell to the ground and started coughing loudly.
"Are you awake? Don't you feel ashamed?"
Duke Weiguo looked down at Song Zhichen with coldness in his eyes.
Song Zhichen looked up, his eyes filled with sadness.
He stretched out his hand and pointed at himself.
"Father, look at my son's appearance. What else do I need to save face for?"
Anyway, now that he is alive, he is just a walking corpse.
He couldn't be sober. As long as he didn't drink, he would think of Zhou Ying and Song Ye, and how he had pushed them mother and son away step by step.
"Do you still remember that you are the master of the Duke of Wei's Mansion and that you are Ye'er's father?"
Duke Weiguo could not empathize with or understand Song Zhichen's pain.
After divorcing Zhou Ying, Song Zhichen no longer went to look for the prostitute in the brothel or his other concubines.
He stayed in his room all day, looking at the Duan inkstone that Zhou Ying gave him.
It was not until Song Ye suggested that the court doctor take the pulse of the brothel girl that they remembered that there was a bloodline of the Duke's Mansion outside.
Duke Weiguo didn't understand why Song Zhichen would be so depressed because of the divorce if he didn't have Zhou Ying in his heart.
If he had Zhou Ying in his heart, he took concubines one after another even though he knew she didn't like him, which broke Zhou Ying's heart.
He even became estranged from Zhou Ying because of a prostitute of low character.
Similarly, Duke Weiguo could not understand Song Zhichen's degeneration.
In his opinion, even if a person is suffering great pain, it should not be a reason for him to fall into depravity.
