Chapter 618: Bullying them, isn’t that just a matter of convenience?
Song Huai'en's eyes flashed with guilt, but he still stubbornly retorted: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Song Yanxi: "It's okay, you'll know when we get to Shuntian Prefecture tomorrow."
After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave, but Song Huai'en became anxious and rushed forward to reach out to pull her.
Zhuzhi hurriedly stopped him and asked with a frown, "My Lord, are you going to attack me just because you're not in the right?"
"You bitch, when did I ever lay hands on her?"
Song Huai'en's face was filled with anger, and he shouted, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will cut off your tongue!"
As he said this, he was about to slap the bamboo stick, but just as he raised his hand, he met Song Yanxi's cold eyes and retracted it.
Thinking that there was no father-daughter relationship between them any longer, Song Huai'en gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I am willing to pass the title to Xu Bai, I am in my prime, and it will inevitably cause criticism if the news gets out."
He paused, his eyes becoming subtle, "You naturally don't care what others say, but Xu Bai hasn't started a family yet, so he should at least have some dignity."
Song Yanxi just found it funny. "He's not afraid of having a father as embarrassing as you, so why would he be afraid of a few gossips?"
"You!" Song Huai'en almost fainted from anger.
He clutched his chest and said with difficulty, "Are you and your daughter really going to do something so drastic?"
Lian Niang had been by his side for many years and could tell at a glance that he was wavering. She immediately said, "My Lord, no!"
She pinched the handkerchief, squeezed out a few tears and said, "My Lord, the princess wants more than just the title, she wants to drive our family of four out of the Marquis' Mansion.
She's clearly here to take our lives."
After hearing her say this, Song Huai'en also thought about the fact that someone was now living in Lianyuan. His face turned gloomy and he said, "Moving out is impossible. This Marquis is not going anywhere."
If they really move out like this, where will they live?
He is a marquis, and he can't sleep on the streets with his wife and children. He can't afford to lose face.
Song Yanxi nodded, smiling instead of angry, "I hope that tomorrow in the court, the Marquis can still say what he said today."
"Stop!" Song Huai'en took a few quick steps and stopped him, saying anxiously, "Even if you don't recognize me, I'm still your father. Aren't you afraid that people will call you heartless if you do this?"
Song Yanxi asked in return, "How can a heartless father expect to give birth to a loyal and affectionate daughter?"
"You!" Song Huai'en was speechless.
He never imagined that this unfilial daughter would even curse herself when she got angry.
If it really came to a lawsuit, regardless of whether the siblings were filial or not, just that imperial edict alone would have left him powerless to fight back.
Not to mention, the old lady was indeed angered by him and Lian Niang at that time, which led to her falling ill due to anger.
Even the old man who had always been in good health died not long after because he was too sad to lose his wife in middle age.
Outsiders may not know the reason for their death, but the old people in the Marquis' Mansion know it.
Once they get to court, they will inevitably blame him.
If he is really accused of being unfilial, he will have no place to stay in the capital.
Song Huai'en gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "The title can be passed on to Xu Bai."
Lian Niang exclaimed, "My Lord!"
He gave her a fierce look, then looked at Song Yanxi and said, "I have one condition."
Song Yanxi's eyes were cold, "You are not qualified to negotiate with me."
Zhuzhi was quick-witted and snatched the land deed that Lianniang had placed on the table. He raised his chin and said, "Even if my daughter's things are thrown away, I will never give them to someone who doesn't know what's good for her."
Lian Niang pounced on her to grab it, but she dodged it by gently turning sideways.
Zhuzhi glared, "What? Are you trying to rob me?"
Lian Niang was so anxious that she almost cried. She looked at Song Yanxi and said with a smile, "Princess, didn't you say you were coming to add some makeup to Baozhu? This girl is too ignorant!"
Song Baozhu also said, "Why would you want to take something back after giving it to someone?
Fortunately, you are a princess, so you don’t have to worry about people laughing at you if you tell others about it.”
The more she spoke, the uglier Song Huai'en's expression became.
If you can’t take back what you give, you can’t take back what you say.
Song Huai'en's heart sank, and he said in a cold voice: "I am Song Xubai's father. Even if he becomes the Marquis of Yongchuan Mansion, he still has to support me."
Song Yanxi: "That's natural."
Even if there is a document severing the relationship between father and son, they will not be in the right if they take the case to the authorities.
Not to mention, they also planned to take the title of Yongchuan Marquis.
So Abai must support this father.
But they have the final say on how to raise the animals.
Unexpectedly, she agreed so readily. A hint of joy flashed in Song Huai'en's eyes.
Sure enough, these two wolf cubs still had some concerns.
Otherwise, if he really loses his temper and makes a scene, no one will have an easy life.
Song Huai'en cleared his throat and was about to put forward his request.
But Song Yanxi suddenly changed the subject and said, "You can stay, but everyone else has to leave."
"What other people?" Song Huai'en's face darkened, and he said unhappily: "Lian Niang is your mother, Baozhu Qirui is your brother and sister, where does the other people come from?
You say I'm old and confused, but I think you're the one who's really confused."
Song Yanxi was too lazy to waste time talking to him and said directly: "Take them out of the Marquis' Mansion, and these land deeds will be considered as my gifts to you.
On the contrary, you stay in the Marquis' Mansion as your old master, and they move out of the mansion."
Song Baozhu blurted out: "You wish, we will not move out of the Marquis' Mansion."
She looked at Song Huai'en and said anxiously, "Dad, are you just going to watch her bully us?"
Song Huai'en was already vomiting, and after hearing her annoying words, he wanted to slap her in the face.
This rebellious girl doesn't even take him, her father, seriously. Bullying her and her mother is just a piece of cake, isn't it?
What's the point of calling him? He still wants to find someone to ask what to do.
At that time, he was greedy for beauty and did stupid things, but the daughter he despised the most was the most promising. Not only did she become a princess, she was about to become Princess Jin.
How could he dare to offend others completely?
Knowing his dilemma, Song Yanxi said magnanimously, "My Lord, don't worry. You have three days to think about it slowly."
She has always been easy to talk to.
This time, Song Huai'en did not say firmly that he would definitely not choose it as he did before.
Because this time, among the options Song Yanxi gave him, he didn't have to move out of the Marquis' Mansion and could stay in the mansion safely as his old grandfather.
One of them is a princess who will soon become the daughter of Princess Jin, and the other is a son who is said to be very successful in the business world and making a fortune every day.
If he stayed in the Marquis' Mansion to retire, not only would his future life be comfortable, but those people would no longer dare to chase him and ask for the money.
Just thinking about it, Song Huai'en couldn't help but smile.
But he caught a glimpse of Lian Niang's red eyes and shook his head, cursing himself in his heart for being so useless.
How could he abandon the person who had been with him for many years just for that little benefit, not to mention that they had a pair of children.
Song Huai'en's face darkened, and he said firmly, "I won't move out, and Lian Niang and Baozhu Qirui will never move out either."
As if she had expected him to say that, Song Yanxi was not angry at all. She smiled and said, "No rush, you still have three days."
Song Huai'en said righteously, "It was not easy for Lian Niang to bear children for me, how could I abandon them?
Let alone three days, even if it’s three months, I will never change my mind.”
