Chapter 265: They Didn't Come From the Same Belly
This almost made Boss Song hold back his tears.
Over the years, the money earned by Song Lao San was handed over to Old Lady Song to support the entire Song family. But they all tacitly accepted that this was the Song family's money and Song Lao San should have it. They never expected that he would suddenly say it so bluntly.
"Aren't you a member of the Song family? The money you earn belongs to the whole family! She also used it, so how can it not be considered as supporting her?" Old Mrs. Song said stubbornly.
Song Lao San smiled and said, "So this is the way to raise it."
Irritated by Song Lao San's mocking tone, Old Lady Song immediately picked up the teacup at hand and threw it at him.
The teacup brushed against Song Laosan's head and fell onto the wall behind him, shattering into pieces.
The main hall was dead silent.
Song Lao San's eyes grew colder and colder. If Old Lady Song hadn't thrown the teacup wrong, it would have hit her head and made a big hole. Is there really such a biased mother in the world who doesn't care about her son's life or death?
The countless doubts, entanglements, contradictions and anger that rose in his heart repeatedly tortured him in the middle of the night. He never dared to think about the guess in his heart, the worst possible outcome.
The facts were before him, and Song Laosan had no choice but to think about them and face them.
The eldest brother Song was the first to come to his senses. He hurried forward to hold the third brother Song, "Third brother, are you okay? If you are hurt, don't blame mother. She was just mad! She didn't really mean to hurt you."
Song Lao San brushed his hand away and took a step back, his eyes hard and cold. "Since mother doesn't welcome me, I won't come here in the future."
Old Mrs. Song wanted to curse, but Old Third Song had already walked away.
"Mom! Did you really want to kill the third brother just now?" Boss Song was also scared.
Old Lady Song recalled the look Old Third Song had given her just now, and her tone turned cold. "He's a bastard anyway, so if he dies, he dies. If I hadn't raised him, he would have died long ago!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Boss Song instantly figured out all the doubts he had since childhood.
"Third brother, he, he, could it be... not my mother's child?"
At this point, Old Lady Song no longer wanted to hide anything, so she told everything that happened many years ago.
"That's the thing. I originally thought he had a talent for business, and staying in the Song family would pave the way for you two brothers, working like a slave for you. But looking at him now, that's no longer the case..."
Boss Song's eyes flickered. "What I mean is, his identity might not be simple?"
Old Lady Song recalled the past, a memory she couldn't forget even if she wanted to. "When we found him, the cloth he was wrapped in was the best I've ever seen in my life. He also had a gold collar and bracelets around his neck and wrists. How could he possibly be so well-dressed? Later, someone came looking for him, and I suspect it was his parents..."
Boss Song's pupils shrank, "Then why don't you return him, mother?"
"I sold the necklace and bracelets, and he was already a few years old at the time. I was afraid that he would go back and tell his family that I treated him badly, and then they would come to retaliate..." Her eyes were fierce, "Bah! My sons are all in the countryside, why should he go back and live a good life?"
Boss Song had never seen his mother's eyes filled with such hatred. He was stunned for a while and couldn't say a word.
"I've told you this. He's not your biological brother. We're not born from the same womb, so we're not related. After all these years, you still can't tame him. You're so unwilling to marry off a worthless girl. You're truly an ungrateful person."
"Mom said those people are not simple. If the third brother finds them one day, we will be..."
Old Lady Song looked fierce, "If we want to get him back, it depends on whether he has the luck to do so. We have treated the Third House badly over the years, and they have long held a grudge against us. You didn't see the look in that little bitch Song Ci's eyes. Why not find an opportunity to destroy them all, then I will feel at ease."
Realizing the true meaning of his mother's words "useless", Boss Song thought for a moment and said, "Mother is right. Keeping the third branch will only bring disaster. And mother, you said that the emperor has bestowed the position of County Master Song Ci. If we don't get rid of them now, I'm afraid that they will become too powerful in the future and it will be impossible to get rid of them even if we want to."
Song Rouxi, who was far away in the East Palace, looked at the letter in her hand with disbelief, her hands trembling slightly.
"Liangyuan, what's wrong with you?" Ling'er said.
"My father wrote to me saying that Song Ci was personally conferred the title of County Princess by the Emperor!"
Ling'er was a little happy, "Liangyuan, this is good news."
"That bitch became a county lord, and you tell me this is good news? She's a county lord with real power."
"Liang Yuan, you are in a bad situation now. The reason why the Queen treats you so badly is because of your family background. But if the position of County Master is given to you, what do you think?"
Song Rouxi gradually calmed down. "Is this feasible? Song Ci may not agree. I have plotted against her so many times over the years. She probably hates me to the core. How could she give up the position of County Master?"
Ling'er lowered her voice, "Everyone has weaknesses. As long as Liang Yuan holds the people and things she cares about, she will have to agree even if she doesn't want to."
"You're right." She glanced at Ling'er with appreciation. "In that case, let's do this. Go tell the Queen that I haven't seen my parents for a long time, and I want to go back to the Song family."
....
The Queen was drinking tea with Huan Yingsi when she heard someone come to inform her that Song Rouxi wanted to return to her parents' home. She was immediately displeased, "You bother me with such a thing? Is there really nothing important to do in this palace?"
Huan Yingsi smiled, "Aunt, please don't be angry. Song Liangyuan misses home, so let her go back."
"But our ancestors have a rule that unless the prince agrees, you are not allowed to go home to visit your family."
"She is so unruly, going back to visit her parents without permission. If the Crown Prince finds out about this, what do you think will happen?"
The queen knew her son very well. He didn't like being restricted, but he was a person who attached great importance to rules.
"I understand. You, Yingsi, are the one who sees things clearly. Tell Song Liangyuan to go home."
In the study, the prince lay on the Eight Immortals Chair with a dejected look on his face. He looked listless, as if all his energy had been drained away.
The person who came to report, "Prince, Song Liangyuan just went home."
The prince raised his eyelids, frowning, "It's not a festival, why did she go home without permission?"
"The Queen Mother said that Song Liangyuan came to her with a request. She was concerned that Song Liangyuan was the Crown Prince's favorite and was afraid that if she rejected her, it would upset the Crown Prince, so she agreed."
The prince was stunned for a moment. "I am unfilial and have troubled my mother to worry about me. Go tell the people below that Song Liangyuan is unruly. When she returns, she will be punished by copying scriptures every day to cultivate her character. Then find a maid who can teach her the rules and regulations and teach her well. If she doesn't learn well, she will be released."
The person who reported it was slightly surprised. Such a punishment was indeed severe, and if it got out, it would also damage Song Liangyuan's reputation.
"I understand."
