From the moment Song Yu divorced his wife, he knew that his father, the Duke of Zhenguo, would definitely not agree, so he went straight to the Jiang family after returning from Xiangguo Temple, threw down a letter of divorce and left.
What if he carries the family's expectations? What if he affects the family's interests? He compromises for the family again and again, but what does he get in return?
He had become a laughing stock in the capital, and had watched with his own eyes the person he loved most fall off a cliff, his life or death unknown. Now that things had come to this, what did it matter if his actions affected the family's emotions and honor?
Anyway, he has nothing to be nostalgic about. While being numb from alcohol, he might still take another look at Ozawa.
Ever since divorcing his wife, his life had been a mess. His father, a living legend, the Duke of Zhenguo, who had returned from defending the frontier, naturally disdained Song Yu's attempts to tarnish the reputation of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Song Yu had lost all motivation to live, and Zhenguo Gong's words had become cold and heartless. Every time he saw his father's expression of disappointment and anger, Song Yu felt a wave of sadness in his heart, and even found it ridiculous. It turned out that he had always been just a tool to maintain the family's honor.
What made him even more disheartened was that his father actually wanted him to go to the Jiang family to apologize and take back the divorce letter. For Song Yu, this was tantamount to a slap in the face.
The divorce letter was his last bit of dignity and a reflection of his disgrace towards Jiang Xue, yet now he was asked to take it back.
Song Yu curled his lips sarcastically, then poured himself another glass. "Go back and tell my father to either beat me to death or forget about my attempt to get the divorce papers back. Besides, his good daughter-in-law is already in prison."
"No, Prince, it's Master Xu who has returned." Dai Nian anxiously snatched the wine glass from Song Yu's hand. He had always had people keeping an eye on the Third Prince's mansion day and night.
When he saw the Third Prince dragging himself away this morning, he realized something was wrong. Now his subordinates came to report that the Third Prince had picked up Master Xu at Shili Pavilion, so he hurriedly reported it to his own prince.
Otherwise, if the prince continues to be so decadent, his prince will really be ruined.
"Oh." Song Yu waved his hand perfunctorily, then looked at his palm whose wine glass was taken away, then looked at the wine pot, and then directly picked up the wine pot and started pouring it into his mouth.
It's the same trick he uses over and over again. He has memorized it and doesn't know how to try something new. Dai Nian is really boring.
Dai Nian was stunned for a moment when he heard Song Yu's "Oh", and then his face turned red. He then remembered that in the beginning, in order to trick their prince into returning, he lied a lot, saying that Master Xu was not dead, had returned to Shangjing City, and was in the Zhenguo Mansion.
This time Song Yu was fooled. Master Xu really came back, but Song Yu didn't believe it. He paced back and forth anxiously, unable to think of any solution. When he accidentally saw a figure in yellow clothes downstairs through the window, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
"My lord, the Third Prince stood outside the Ten-Li Pavilion from the beginning of the yin hour to the third quarter of the hai hour in order to bring Mr. Xu back." Dai Nianjian poked Song Yu's body with his finger, looking emotional.
"Hmph! If it weren't for him, how could Xiaoze end up in an uncertain situation of life or death? He deserves to die standing there at Shili Pavilion without eating or drinking!" Song Yu slapped Dai Nian's hand away with an unhappy look on his face. You know, his people have been searching outside for news about Xu Tianze, but they have not received any news.
"Well, that makes sense." Dai Nian saw that there was a chance, and then a wicked smile appeared on his face. "But the Third Prince waited for Master Xu directly, and he's already on his way back."
"Bullshit!" Song Yu stood up drunkenly, his eyes wide with anger. "Even Long Musi is worthy! What qualifications does he have to take Xiaoze back home?"
"That's right, that's right." Dai Nian looked at his master who was successfully led into the ditch, and was secretly happy in his heart. Sure enough, the rival's bluff was still effective at the critical moment.
"How about we stop the Third Prince and go pick up Master Xu?" Dai Nian secretly suggested something from the side. He could finally coax his own prince out of the restaurant.
You have to know that at the beginning, he was able to use the news that Master Xu had returned in disguise and that the Duke was angry to get Song Yu to return home. Later, he used the fact that Master Xu would definitely not want to see his own prince in such a decadent state to coax him back.
In the end, the Duke had no choice but to take action himself and bring people to capture his own prince. Later, the prince's wife was put in jail. The Duke had an argument with someone in the court, and after the court was over, he went to the Jiang family and didn't care about the prince at all. The prince then went back to the brothel.
Now that Master Xu has really come back, I'm sure that once his own prince sees him, he will never come to this place again. After all, following Master Xu around is better than living a life of debauchery all day long.
Xu Tianze:...
"No!" Song Yu rolled his eyes and sat back in his chair. This time he didn't drink, but instead slowly ate the dishes on the table.
"Huh?" The smug joy on Dai Nian's face froze in an instant. They were chatting happily, how come it suddenly turned out to be a disaster?
Wouldn't that mean he would have to stay in this brothel with his master? If he goes back late, his brother would scold him again. Is it necessary to torture him like this?
Song Yu glanced at Dai Nian and found the colorful expression on his face quite interesting. Dai Nian coaxed him to leave this time. Perhaps Xiaoze really came back, and then he could rest assured.
But it was really not appropriate for him to meet Xu Tianze now. After all, he smelled of alcohol or various aromatherapy scents, and he hadn't bathed for several days. He would definitely not meet Xu Tianze like this.
This time, he also understood his own heart. He didn't want to confine his thoughts for the sake of his family anymore, nor did he want to be a tool to maintain the family's honor anymore, so he wanted to start over with Ozawa, and then slowly accompany Ozawa for the rest of his life.
"Let's go back home." Song Yu laughed loudly, then stood up and walked outside. Now that he had figured it out, there was no need to stay in this place anymore.
"Ah?" Dai Nian looked at the leftovers on the table in confusion, then turned back to look at Song Yu's relaxed back.
He didn't understand. He didn't understand whether his master had figured it out or not. Forget it, he couldn't figure it out anyway. He just wanted to know that his master, the dignified Prince of Zhenguo, was back.
Dai Nian slapped his forehead and followed Song Yu to leave. There was an indescribable free and easy pace in the two of them as they walked in this red-light district.
