Chapter 264: His Royal Highness Prince Jin is a heartless and ungrateful person?
"Is this really true?"
Song Yanxi frowned, "How can such a huge border town become a place where only the two of them have the final say?"
Doctor Liu took a sip of tea and smacked his lips, saying, "That's about it.
Since the Battle of Beifengpo, the prince's close followers have been killed or injured. Aside from General Qiu who returned to the capital, the remaining few have been transferred to insignificant positions by General Lin for various reasons."
He sighed softly, as if helpless, "Two years is neither long nor short, but it's enough to wear down a person's spirit."
Seeing him looking at her, Song Yanxi thought for a moment and only asked one question.
"Where's General Qiu?"
Doctor Liu was startled for a moment, then he smiled, "That kid takes after his father, he's got guts.
"I've been following His Royal Highness Prince Jin since I was a little kid. All those years of beatings have cultivated my pride. How could I possibly be the same as those spineless people?"
"Being beaten with a stick?" Song Yanxi's heart twitched.
Whenever Mr. Liu's pronunciation was vague, she could somehow convince herself that she had misheard and that it was not the case.
But every word was distinct and could not be heard any more clearly.
His Royal Highness Prince Jin actually hits children?
"Hit her, why not?" Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Doctor Liu spoke quickly.
He held the teacup in one hand and raised his thumb with the other hand. "Your Highness broke two horse whips this thick in one breath."
After saying this, he added calmly, "If I were to say, this kid still needs to be beaten. He won't become anything without being beaten.
Look at General Qiu. Wherever he stands now, he has the aura of commanding an army in the future. That's incredible."
Speaking of this, Military Doctor Liu couldn't help but sigh, "Zi Huan, who is being raised by the prince, is also a promising military talent. No matter how obscure the military strategy is, he can remember it after reading it once and can even come up with one, two, or three solutions.
It's a pity that his mother met the wrong man and ended up with her head and body separated, and also ruined her child's life."
Thinking of Zihuan, who had become taciturn and even kept people at a distance because of his childhood experiences, Song Yanxi felt a dull pain in her heart.
He was such a good child, but he witnessed such a tragedy at such a young age. It's really pitiful.
If he can't get out of it, he will be trapped in it and waste his whole life.
Wait, what did Mr. Liu just say about meeting the wrong person?
When this kind of words is used on a woman, it usually means that she has not been able to judge people well and has chosen the wrong lover.
Could it be that he was hinting to her that His Royal Highness Prince Jin was a heartless and ungrateful person?
But whether it was what she had heard before or what she had seen and heard personally during this period, she could be sure that Mo Jinchuan was not that kind of person.
On the contrary, he values friendship and loyalty, and is a rare good man in this world.
Song Yanxi frowned, "There must be a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Military Doctor Liu slammed the teacup on the table and said angrily, "I was right there at the time and saw it all. Zihuan was covered in blood and was terrified. It was only His Royal Highness Prince Jin who acted decisively and pried open his knife-holding hand, bringing the child back to life.
His biological father was such a bastard. Even though there was a blood feud between the two countries of An and Liang, his wife and children were innocent after all.
If it weren't for Zihuan's quick reaction, his father would have planned to kill him and then commit suicide after killing his mother."
Doctor Liu grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he spat to the side, "That bastard actually told the child that if a family can't be together in life, they should be reunited in the underworld after death, and he can't be left alone to suffer in this world.
Fuck him! Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs, so he’s a beast!
He was still angry and asked Song Yanxi: "Girl, have you ever seen someone who is unworthy of being a father?"
Song Yanxi recovered from her shock and said with a serious look in her eyes, "I have seen you."
Not to mention the ones far away, her scumbag father is definitely one of them.
She had originally intended to use the Yue family's power to revive the long-declined Marquisate, but she had just proposed marriage when her grandfather voluntarily surrendered his military power and went into business.
From being a son-in-law of a powerful general with a large army under his command, he suddenly became the son-in-law of a merchant who would be scorned by the aristocratic families. It was like falling from the clouds to hell.
If there has never been an opportunity, then so be it.
But unfortunately, he had already reached the edge of the cloud.
He schemed and schemed, and finally won the heart of the beauty. He also arranged the marriage through clear channels. All he needed was a wedding banquet to make the Yongchuan Marquisate famous again in Kyoto.
Just a little bit more and he would be able to soar to the top.
But all of this was destroyed overnight.
How could Song Huai'en be willing to accept this?
He wanted to go back on his word and cancel the engagement, but the Yongchuan Marquisate had long since become an empty shell. Even if the Yan family had lost its military power, it was still an existence that he could not offend.
He was angry but dared not say anything, so he could only hold his nose and marry Yan Qing.
Because of resentment, he found fault with her as soon as they got married. He disliked her for her worldly nature as she had traveled around to do business to raise military funds, and he also disliked her for being too impetuous and hassle-free without the gentleness and care of other girls in the boudoir.
Only half a year after getting married, he openly brought his pregnant cousin who was raised outside back home, and continued to do as he pleased despite the rumors in the capital.
Later, after giving birth to Song Xubai, he even thought of divorcing his wife and making his concubine his legal wife. He angered his mother to death before he gave up.
The old Marquis of Yongchuan, Song Yanxi's grandfather, felt that his family business was going to be ruined by this boy, so he dragged his sick body into the palace to ask the emperor for an imperial edict.
It was stated that once the couple divorced, his grandson Song Xubai would inherit the title of marquis.
In order to appease the furious Yan family, he went to their house in person to apologize despite his illness, and handed the imperial edict given by Emperor Xuande to Yan Yichuan, and the matter was finally settled.
The old marquis was sick and angry, and passed away a few days after returning to the marquis' mansion.
Song Huai'en was instigated by the concubine and could not restrain himself. He wanted to divorce his wife at the old marquis' funeral and threatened that he didn't even want the two children born to Yan Qing.
It was a farce that ended with Yan Qing asking for the imperial edict on the spot.
Song Huai'en, who had originally been clamoring to vent his anger, immediately changed his mind when he heard that he would be stripped of his title after the divorce.
Not only did he refuse to divorce, he also scolded Yan Qing in front of everyone, saying that his wife was dull and boring, and was not worthy of being the mistress of a marquis's mansion. He had endured for many years because of the loyalty and bravery of the Yan family and the fact that the two elders liked her.
Now that they have fallen out, the love between husband and wife is naturally gone. He will not divorce her, but he cannot tolerate living with her under the same roof in the future.
Song Huai'en's original intention was that when Yan Qing took the initiative to mention that he wanted to return to the Yan family, he would go along with it and agree. In the future, the Marquis' Mansion would be a place for their family of four to enjoy themselves.
But before Yan Qing could say anything, the people who came to pay their respects could not stand it any longer and told him to get out if he didn't want to stay.
Just then, someone came to the Yan family, so he had no choice but to go along with it and bought another house with his good cousin and two children to live in.
Although he lived in a separate mansion, he was still the Marquis of Yongchuan in name, and all the daily expenses of his family of four were paid from the mansion's account.
When the couple was flirting, they even took pleasure in it, saying that it was a pleasure to spend money earned by others.
Yan Qing had never told these things to his two children. In his previous life, Song Yanxi was already dead when she knew the truth of this matter. She could do nothing and could only watch the couple living happily.
But their good days ended the day she came back to life!
Hearing her words, Doctor Liu immediately thought of Song Huai'en and said with disdain, "I was back in Beijing for a short time this time and didn't have time to spit at the gate of Lianyuan. Has your father been in good health these past two years?"
