Chapter 538: Of course, send my father on his way
As much as Song Huai'en had hoped before, he was now frightened to hear the word "father" from Song Yanxi's mouth.
She wasn't calling for her father at all, every word was clearly calling for his life!
He had been hearing about her superb medical skills and how she saved the border town from the epidemic in the past few days.
She once single-handedly saved Concubine Li and her son from danger, preserving the lives of both the concubine and the royal heir.
His daughter might have some skills in medicine.
I heard that those with superb medical skills can save lives, but they can also kill people invisibly.
It is not difficult to make someone die quietly.
So what she said just now was not to scare him, but...
Song Huai'en's face became paler and paler, and his legs became weaker and weaker.
He stared at Song Yanxi intently, trying to find some similarity between her face and his own, so as to convince himself that she would not be so cruel because of their blood relationship.
But he was destined to be disappointed.
Song Yanxi's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Yan Qing when he was young.
When those eyes, filled with coldness, looked at him, they were exactly the same as his father-in-law's, who had resigned from his official position to become a businessman but still easily dominated him for so many years.
Thinking of Yan Yichuan's majestic face, Song Huai'en's legs almost went weak and he knelt back down.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You can divorce me if you want, but you have to agree to a few conditions."
Song Yanxi: "You are not qualified to negotiate with me."
Song Huai'en said angrily: "I am your father!"
As soon as he said that, he remembered what she had just said, that she would hold a grand funeral for him because of their father-daughter relationship.
He panicked suddenly and said before Song Yanxi could speak: "If you are in mourning, don't even think about getting married within three years."
Song Yanxi was naturally clear about this.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be here listening to so much of his nonsense.
The best and safest way to deal with such a shameless villain who has no idea what face is is to make him shut up forever.
People like him will only be quiet and stop annoying others if they die.
Seeing that Song Yanxi was not moved at all, Song Huai'en felt even more uncertain, and said with a stiff upper lip: "You and I are father and daughter after all, and I don't want to delay your happy marriage with His Royal Highness Prince Jin.
You must promise three things for your father, and leave two-thirds of your mother's property in the Yongchuan Marquisate."
He looked at Yan Qing, as if he had finally made up his mind, "I will divorce your mother."
As soon as the words fell, the mother and her two children, who should have been happy, sneered at the same time.
Song Xubai clenched his fists and asked, "How dare you covet my mother's private property? Are you worthy?"
Seeing him so angry, Song Huai'en knew that he had made the right move.
He knew that Yan Qing must have made a fortune doing business outside over the years by using the name of Yongchuan Marquis Mansion.
Husband and wife are one, so naturally he should have half of the money.
For the past ten years, she has allocated eighty taels to Lianyuan every month, and she also requires him to go back every New Year's Eve to squeeze out more from her.
It's not even enough to feed a beggar.
From this perspective, Yan Qing is extremely selfish as a wife.
She is far inferior to his considerate Lian Niang.
Even her two children were very different from their Baozhu Qirui.
Thinking of this, Song Huai'en almost couldn't wait to say, "As long as you agree to my conditions, I will write the divorce agreement right away."
"impossible."
The mother and daughter said in unison.
Song Yanxi looked at the somewhat exasperated Song Huai'en and said with cold eyes, "It's only three years. I can wait."
Song Huai'en was horrified and blurted out, "You can wait, but what about His Royal Highness Prince Jin?
What kind of status does he have? Can he still wait for you? "
Song Yanxi's eyes darkened slightly, and she curled the corners of her lips and said, "If he doesn't agree, this marriage doesn't have to happen."
Facing Song Huai'en's gradually frightened eyes, she said word by word: "Your Highness Prince Jin has always been considerate. I think he will understand my difficulties."
The two servants looked at each other and took two steps forward.
With the two of them holding his shoulders from left and right, Song Huai'en couldn't struggle even if he wanted to.
He said in a panic: "My dear daughter, Dad is joking with you.
When you marry His Royal Highness Prince Jin, your father will prepare a generous gift for you. I wish you two a long and happy marriage and a son soon."
Song Yanxi chuckled and said, "Father, there's no need to spend so much money. If you really want to, just fulfill your daughter's wish."
As she spoke, she took the needle bag from Zhuzhi and walked in front of Song Huai'en.
Song Huai'en asked in horror: "What do you want to do?"
Song Yanxi smiled and said quietly, "Of course, to send my father off."
Song Huai'en's eyes widened, and he said in panic, "My dear daughter, it's Daddy's fault!"
Song Yanxi asked: "Don't you want me to promise you three things?"
Song Huai'en nodded like pecking at rice.
She then asked, "You don't want my mother's private property anymore?"
Song Huai'en paused nodding, his eyes reddened.
The properties under Yan Qing's name might be enough for his family of four to live a carefree life for more than ten years. How could he not want them?
But compared to those material things, his life is more important.
Song Huai'en rolled his eyes and said, "My dear daughter, I don't need these things, but you must agree to what I told you before.
Otherwise, I would not have been able to write the divorce letter."
He said excitedly, "Baozhu is the daughter I am most proud of. She has never been seen in public for so many years. Once she attends the eldest princess's banquet this time, she will surely become famous in the capital."
Yan Qing asked with a smile: "Why has she never shown her face in front of others? Don't you know?"
A daughter born to a concubine who is not worthy of being seen in public is not even as good as a daughter born to a concubine.
Not to mention the royal family who value status, even ordinary people, if they have some dignity, would never have anything to do with a woman of such status.
Song Huai'en's expression changed, and he said stubbornly, "Baozhu is different from other children. She is the most well-behaved and sensible.
If you see it, you will definitely like it."
Yan Qing: "I think it's dirty."
"You!" Song Huai'en clenched his fist in anger, but didn't dare to say a single harsh word.
He only looked at Song Yanxi, his eyes full of pleading, "Yanxi, from childhood to adulthood, your father has only asked this one thing of you."
Song Yanxi frowned and asked, "Do you want her to climb up the social ladder, or does she mean the same thing?"
Song Huai'en was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Look at you, kid, why are you talking so harshly?
Baozhu is so outstanding, it's only natural that she should be paired with one of the royal family's sons. If she were to marry you as a sister-in-law in the future, you two sisters would have someone to look after each other."
He added, "When I left the house, Baozhu tugged at my sleeve and told me to say hello to you and your mother on her behalf.
She said she admires you the most as her sister, and she wanted to stay at the Princess's Mansion for a few days to keep you company..."
"That's enough." Song Yanxi interrupted Song Huai'en and said, "I promise you, I will take her to the banquet at the Princess's Mansion."
Song Huai'en's eyes were filled with joy. "My dear daughter, I know you are sensible."
Without waiting for him to speak again, Song Yanxi said, "But she can only enter the house as my maid. After entering the mansion, I will have nothing to do with her."
Song Huai'en gritted his teeth and agreed.
He took the initiative and said, "Get some pen and ink."
