"Who am I running around for? Xu Tianze, don't you know?" Song Yu's tone was questioning, but there was an imperceptible heartache in his eyes.
Although he felt that Xu Tianze's tone was not good, he could understand it. If it were him, his emotions would probably be even more volatile.
Xu Tianze's face was pale, his eyes revealed fatigue, and the red clothes he used to wear seemed to have a sense of decadence.
Just as Song Yu was still looking at Xu Tianze with concern, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then became angry.
"Who? Who hurt you like this?" Song Yu tremblingly tried to grab Xu Tianze's wrist. The wrist, which originally looked white and tender against the red clothes, had a purple mark on it.
Looking more closely, I found that there were also purple scars on the skin on the side of Xu Tianze's raised collar.
"Your Highness, you're joking. Are you really unaware of this scar?" Xu Tianze slapped Song Yu's outstretched hand and tugged at his sleeve uncomfortably. "The Xu family is in ruins, and the Zhenguogong Mansion is so high and mighty. Are they really unaware of anything?"
There was no emotion in Xu Tianze's eyes, and the vortex of stagnant water made it difficult for Song Yu to breathe.
In fact, Xu Tianze went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion more than once that day. The moment he received the news, the first thing he thought of was the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. It's just that he was not stopped outside and told that Song Yu and the old Duke of Zhenguo were not in the mansion, so he believed it.
So he went to the doors of all the big and small mansions in the city to seek help, until he was discouraged and suddenly remembered that Song Yu must have returned home by now, so he went there for the second time.
The person came back, but we didn't see him, so naturally we couldn't give him any help.
At the thought of this, Xu Tianze's face was filled with annoyance. "Since the prince has official business to attend to, it is probably not appropriate for him to entangle with me." As he said this, Xu Tianze was about to lower the curtain of the carriage. "Then I will take my leave first."
"Why don't you come to me?"
"What?"
"I say, why didn't you come find me?" Song Yu held onto the carriage curtain, leaning forward to get closer to Xu Tianze, and questioned him aggressively, "Why can you trust the Third Prince but not me?"
Could it be that from the beginning to the end, Song Yu was the person who was not trustworthy and not worthy of entrustment?
Xu Tianze was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled: "Why didn't I go find you? Why did I trust the Third Prince?"
After laughing, Xu Tianze kicked Song Yu in the chest. Seeing Song Yu being kicked to the ground, he also got out of the carriage and stood on the carriage looking down at him.
Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers all drew their swords, but then put them back at Song Yu's gesture. Old Qi and the coachman also looked calm, but they were secretly tense.
Xu Tianze didn't care about the reactions of those around him, he just looked at Song Yu with disdain. He thought this was the first time he treated Song Yu so mercilessly, but this was what he deserved.
"You ask me why I didn't come to find you? The prince is actually a blind and heartless person in his own family?" Xu Tianze pretended to be surprised, and didn't wait for Song Yu to answer, and continued to talk to himself.
"On the day the Xu family was massacred, I immediately went to look for the prince, but was told that he wasn't at home. Later, I went to his house again in the middle of the night, but he still wasn't there."
"Song Yu, tell me, were you really not at home that day?"
Song Yu's expression changed as he listened to Xu Tianze's words. He had been in his study that day and hadn't left the mansion from beginning to end. By the time he received the news, it was already the next day, and there were only two people in the Zhenguo Mansion who could have intercepted the message.
Xu Tianze looked at Song Yu's changing expression and knew that he had stayed in the mansion that day, but simply didn't want to see him.
In fact, he could understand that if the Xu family fell, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would naturally not be in trouble, but he should never have participated in framing the Xu family.
"As for why I don't trust you and only the Third Prince, I ask you, are you trustworthy? You have nothing to do with the Xu family's disaster?"
Xu Tianze felt a little nervous after he finished speaking. He was trying to provoke Song Yu, but he was also trying to make himself give up. He knew that Jiang Xue's actions could not be hidden from Song Yu, but he still hoped that Song Yu really didn't know.
So that he can understand that his efforts over the years have not been in vain, and he has really made some sincere friends.
Song Yu lowered his eyes, his gaze flashed, and when he thought of the goal in his heart, he raised his head and quickly glanced at Xu Tianze's eyes, and replied "No".
Xu Tianze seemed to have met this person for the first time. He was helped out of the carriage by Old Qi and slowly walked to Song Yu, pinching Song Yu's face.
Xu Tianze forced Song Yu to look at him for more than ten seconds, then he slowly stepped back and turned to walk towards his carriage.
Song Yu, who was released by Xu Tianze, not only breathed a sigh of relief, but his body stiffened when he heard the voice coming from Xu Tianze.
"Song Yu, you have changed. In the past, when you lied, your eyes would subconsciously stare at my jade pendant. Now when you lie, your eyes won't reveal any flaws." Xu Tianze's voice was flat, as if he was narrating a very ordinary little thing.
Although he looked calm, only Xu Tianze himself knew how desperate and lonely he was inside.
If there were no flaws, wouldn't that be a confession? He even asked if he was trustworthy. If he really believed him, he, Xu Tianze, would probably not even have the chance to take revenge.
"Aze, I." Song Yu suddenly panicked. He felt that a piece of his heart was collapsing rapidly, and if he didn't take action, it would never be filled.
Thinking of this, Song Yu stumbled towards Xu Tianze, but before he could grab Xu Tianze's arm, Xu Tianze pushed him away.
"Prince, please respect yourself. You and I are two grown men, and if we were to tug at each other in the street, it would not be good for reputation if it got out." Xu Tianze turned around and leaned against the carriage, looking at Song Yu jokingly.
These were words that Song Yu often said. In the past, whenever he and Song Yu behaved a little bit intimately, Song Yu would look down on him and keep his distance from him.
No matter what, they are sons of aristocratic families, not young ladies. If they keep pulling each other around, they will only make people laugh. Now that they have broken up, why don’t they care about these things?
Hearing Xu Tianze's words, Song Yu immediately straightened up, pretended to cough, and looked around.
Fortunately, it was at the city gate, and Song Yu had made strict arrangements to find Xu Tianze. Although there were many people watching, no one really came over.
"Hypocritical!" Looking at Song Yu's behavior, Xu Tianze felt a little annoyed. He snorted coldly and got on the carriage directly.
The jade pendant on her waist swung down as she got into the car, flashing a warm red light in the sunlight.
The light flashed Xu Tianze's eyes for a moment, making him stunned for a long time. When he came to his senses, he pulled off the jade pendant and threw it directly to the ground.
The crisp sound of the jade pendant also woke up Song Yu, who was also in a daze. Looking at the shattered jade pendant on the ground, Song Yu looked towards the carriage in disbelief: "Aze! Are you really going to treat me like this?"
That jade pendant was made of the only blood jade in the world, yet it was broken right in front of him.
"Song Yu, the bond between you and me is like jade, and the past is over." Xu Tianze clenched his fists desperately, trying to control his voice from trembling. "If we meet again one day, either you will be buried with my Xu family, or I, Xu Tianze, will die from a myriad of poisons piercing my heart."
