Chapter 35: Mother, it's so hard to like someone
The sky gradually became gloomy in the evening, and fine snowflakes were flying in the wind. In the evening, a strong wind blew in the capital, howling and roaring.
Braving the wind and snow, a luxurious carriage stopped at the Song Mansion.
Nanny Zhang got off the carriage and reached out to draw aside the curtain.
A pale face popped out from the carriage, and Song Huaixi looked listless.
Pale and fragile, with red corners of eyes, he looks like a listless little rabbit.
Nanny Zhang helped him out of the carriage and took him towards the main gate of the Song Mansion.
After knocking on the door, the housekeeper opened the door and was stunned for a moment when he saw Song Huaixi.
"Princess? Why are you back?"
"Let's go in first, now we have a long story to tell." Nanny Zhang glanced at him and sighed.
Seeing that both of them looked unhappy, the housekeeper did not dare to ask any more questions and quickly welcomed them into the house.
The Song family was finishing their dinner in the front hall at this time. When they heard the housekeeper's announcement, they put down their chopsticks and rushed to Song Huaixi's yard.
As soon as Song Huaixi arrived at the yard, the entire Song family rushed there.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Rugui saw Song Huaixi's red eyes looking at him.
With a pain in her heart, she rushed forward and hugged him: "Huai Xi! What happened? Was my son bullied in the palace?"
As soon as he got close to Lin Rugui, Song Huaixi could no longer suppress the grievance in his heart. Holding him, she cried out with sobs: "Mom...Mom...I...miss...you...so much..."
The choking sound reached Lin Rugui's ears, like a blunt knife cutting his heart.
Song Huaixi has never suffered any grievances since he was a child.
This is the first time I see him crying like this.
He drove back to the Song Mansion secretly without saying goodbye. He must have been wronged in the Wang Mansion.
"My Huai Xi... why did I choose you? How can you handle going to the dangerous place of the palace..."
Lin Rugui's eyes were filled with tears, and she hugged Song Huaixi with heartache.
Song Zigen, Song Lianyu and Zhao Qionghuan were standing aside and feeling very uncomfortable.
When Zhao Fangye first came to the Song Mansion, they thought that Song Huaixi would be treated well.
It seems that they still think too simply.
Seeing the two crying, Zhao Qionghuan was a little worried and pulled Song Lianyu: "Husband, the princess and mother are crying like this. Be careful not to hurt your health."
"Yeah." Song Lianyu frowned as he looked at the two of them, very worried.
He shook her hand and said, "Madam, go and persuade Mother. She will be more receptive to your words."
Zhao Qionghuan nodded, walked forward and whispered, "Mother, Princess. Don't worry too much and take care of yourself. If anything goes wrong, maybe we can discuss it together and solve it."
Nanny Zhang also stepped forward and said, "Madam Princess, what the young lady said is true."
The two men finally persuaded them to sit on the couch. Song Huaixi was held in Lin Rugui's arms, and a group of people sat around them.
"Madam Zhang, what's going on?" Lin Rugui asked while wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Nanny Zhang sighed and explained the matter clearly.
After hearing this, Song Huaixi wanted to cry again, but was coaxed by Lin Rugui.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent. It was not easy for them to ask the prince not to take concubines in such a situation.
But they still didn't expect Song Huaixi to be so sad.
But everyone was relieved, at least they were not treated harshly in the palace.
That's good enough.
Lin Rugui also understood. He looked at Song Huaixi's dejected face and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He said to Song Zigen and Song Lianyu, "You two go back first. Qionghuan and I will stay with Huaixi."
With two men present, there were some things she couldn't say. Wait until the two of them left. Lin Rugui then took Song Huaixi's hand.
"Huai Xi, mother knows that you like the prince, but the prince..."
When the words came to her lips, Rugui felt a little uncomfortable.
Song Huaixi had never been in contact with many people, and the first person she fell in love with was Zhao Fangye. Seeing him so heartbroken, I knew he must be deeply in love with her.
The most taboo thing about love is that only one party is involved. It's like being stuck in a swamp; the more you struggle, the more painful it becomes.
If she had known this would be the outcome, she should not have asked Song Huaixi to get close to Zhao Fangye.
With red eyes, Song Huaixi waited earnestly for Lin Rugui's next words. But her expression was very complicated.
A'niang always had a gentle smile, but today her expression made Song Huaixi confused.
"Oh mother..."
Looking at him, Lin Rugui couldn't bear it. But I still made up my mind.
"Huai Xi, the prince is of noble status. You can't be the only one around him, right? There will be more people around him in the future. They may be more beautiful and gentle than the other. There is nothing we can do about it."
Listening to her words, Song Huaixi's eyes gradually filled with tears.
Just today, it seemed like I had shed all the tears of my lifetime.
"Huai Xi...it's all fate...sigh..."
Lin Rugui showed a look of pity, this was such a pure child. But have to face this kind of thing.
But this is the fact, they can't resist it and can only accept it.
"Mother, it's so hard to like someone."
Song Huaixi covered his chest, his dark eyes at a loss: "It's so uncomfortable, I don't want to like it anymore..."
Surprised that he could say such words, Lin Rugui embraced him and held him in her arms, comforting him: "Huaixi, be good, don't think about it. Stay at home for a few days and your mother will make you some delicious food."
Prince Ning's Mansion.
It was already late at night when Zhao Fangye finished dealing with the affairs in the study. After washing and changing into underwear, he walked to the bed and saw that there was no one there.
His heart skipped a beat and Zhao Fangye called everyone in the main courtyard.
Sitting on the chair, Zhao Fangye looked coldly at the person kneeling on the ground.
"Where's the princess?"
Chunhua quickly replied, "Your Highness, the princess has returned to the Song Mansion for a short stay."
Hearing this, Zhao Fangye frowned, tapping the table unconsciously with his fingertips: "Returning home? When will it happen?"
I don’t understand why Song Huaixi suddenly returned to the Song Mansion.
“In the afternoon…”
"Why didn't anyone come to report?" Zhao Fangye was a little displeased. Since he was returning home, why did Song Huaixi leave without saying a word?
Very abnormal.
Seeing his impatient expression, Chunhua explained nervously: "I wanted to report it, but the prince was in the study. Nanny Zhang said that the prince promised the princess that she could go home when she wanted to. So I didn't bother Adjutant Sun."
Chunhua's palms were sweating. Although she was telling the truth, she was also hiding something by cutting out the beginning and the end.
Everyone knew what happened in the backyard.
The princess treated them very well, and they tried their best to cover up for her. I just hope that the princess can calm down after she comes back and not make the prince dislike her.
After all, no man is willing to endure his wife's unreasonable behavior just to have a mistress.
Not to mention the prince who is of noble status.
Zhao Fangye never allowed servants to approach his study, except for close friends who could enter and exit freely. He did promise Song Huaixi that he would be allowed to go home at any time.
Feeling inexplicably annoyed, Zhao Fangye waved his hand to send the servants away, then stood up and walked towards the bedroom.
He actually felt a little uncomfortable lying alone on an empty bed.
The soft pillow beside me was stained with Song Huaixi's sweet scent, but the smell was very faint.
