Chapter 285 Restoration of the Title
Yu Ziche's address made the eldest princess' heart sink to the bottom again.
Not long ago, the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion officially opened an ancestral hall, included Yu Ziche in the family tree and officially changed his surname to Yu. After that, his relationship with the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion became closer and closer. The old Duke and his wife also carefully prepared a courtyard for him, and sometimes he would return to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion to stay for a while.
He had long since acknowledged his grandparents, as well as Yu Xiunian as his father, but she still addressed him as the unfamiliar Princess.
He was not angry nor was he seeking revenge. His attitude towards her as a mother was very easy-going and frank, and he did not even have any resentment towards her.
But the more this happened, the sadder the princess became, because his attitude was enough to show that he really didn't care about anything in the past, and he had no resentment, hatred, or emotion towards her as his mother.
But no one is to blame for all this. It's all her fault for not being able to judge people well and for being blinded by so-called true love and neglecting her son.
She has no right to grieve or complain.
She suppressed her emotions and smiled lovingly, "I heard from your uncle that you have asked for permission to go to the military camp for training?"
"Exactly."
Yu Ziche said frankly: "Xiao Si knew my intention and encouraged me to realize my dream. Master also supports me."
Yu Ziche glanced at Yu Xiunian and said with a smile, "I have discussed this matter with my grandfather and father. At that time, all the soldiers under the Duke of Ying were incorporated into the army of General Zhenyuan. My grandfather has sent a letter to General Zhenyuan, asking me to join the Zhenyuan army. Xuan Qi is on good terms with General Zhenyuan, and he also sent a letter to the border."
"My uncle also thinks this is a good idea and will convey the order to General Zhenyuan after the Spring Festival."
It turned out that everyone was involved in his choice, except her, the mother.
It was impossible to say that she really didn't care at all, but the eldest princess had been suppressing her lost emotions and never showed any of it.
Only after Yu Ziche was pulled away by Ye Xuanke and Jiang Yanting did he reveal feelings of loss and sadness.
"Give him a little more time."
Yu Xiunian comforted him softly: "When the wound in his heart heals, naturally..."
"Not anymore!"
The eldest princess interrupted him and smiled sadly: "He is my own child. I know him better than anyone else. When he was expecting, I did not give him motherly love and chose someone else. After his expectations were dashed, he was already relieved. He has no resentment or expectation towards me. To him, I am no different from an ordinary person."
Yu Xiunian had actually already noticed all this, but he was afraid that she would be sad, so he didn't dare to point it out.
After hearing the eldest princess say it herself, I didn't know what to say for a moment.
The princess adjusted her mood and forced a faint smile: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry. These are the causes I sowed, and I can't blame others for the results like this."
Although she no longer called her mother, at least she could talk to her calmly now and visit the Princess occasionally at her mansion. She should be content.
Seeing Yu Ziche alone, Ye Xuanqi frowned: "Where's Yunxi? Didn't she say she would come with you?"
Yu Ziche raised his chin provocatively: "Don't call me Yunxi Yunxi so affectionately!"
Although he is his cousin, Yu Ziche feels unhappy with him whenever he thinks that this guy is coveting his little fourth daughter.
Even though he was Xiao Si's destined man, Yu Ziche felt that his juicy cabbage was eaten by a pig.
Ye Xuanqi naturally knew Yu Ziche's mentality, but he was not only his cousin but also the second brother who Song Yunxi placed in an important position. He was his future brother-in-law, and he dared not offend him.
So, the people around were shocked to see that the usually aloof Prince Chen was humbly trying to please Yu Ziche, which was simply jaw-dropping.
Fang Yichen laughed and teased Ye Xuanqi: "It seems that the road to becoming the son-in-law of Shengyun Mountain is still long and arduous!"
Jiang Yanting raised his eyebrows: "That's right!"
When Song Yunxi came over from Qingyun Pavilion, she instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, but she was unaware of it and walked among the people yawning.
Jiang Yanting asked her curiously, "Where is the senior brother?"
Song Yunxi shook her head: "Brother said he doesn't like this kind of occasion so he won't come."
As for the master, no one can influence his decisions and actions. At this moment, he is probably on the roof of some temple, overlooking everything.
When Song Muxue saw Song Yunxi being treated like a star by everyone, the hatred in her heart suddenly burst out.
Her reputation is now ruined. She has lost her status as the legitimate daughter of Marquis Wenyuan, and is no longer the most noble lady in the capital praised by everyone. She has become Shen Zhikang's concubine, and the relationship between her and Shen Zhikang is no longer the same as before. Because of the child in her belly, she has to be cautious and try to please Shen Zhikang in every way. She is simply humbled to the dust.
But Song Yunxi became more and more successful and got everything she wanted, which made her hate him to the core.
However, when she saw the Song family members who had not attended the palace banquet for a long time, she felt fighting spirit and hope again.
"Father, brother!"
Song Muxue rushed over and pulled Song Zheyang's sleeve, crying with joy: "I can finally see my father and my elder and second brothers again!"
Thinking that he would soon be able to regain his title of Marquis Wenyuan, Song Shaozhang was full of energy and looked at Song Muxue with loving eyes: "Muxue, it's all thanks to you!"
If it weren't for this adopted daughter being valued by Shen Zhikang, he would never have gotten his title back.
Song Muxue said modestly, "Father, it was Brother Zhikang who ran around asking Concubine Shen for help so that our Song family's title could be restored."
Song Shaozhang thanked Shen Zhikang gratefully: "Thank you, Prince."
"We are all family, so you don't have to be polite, father-in-law."
If Song Zheyang was not such a rare talent, and if it were not for the secret hidden by the Song family, he would not care about their lives.
Song Zheyang also bowed to Shen Zhikang: "This time, it is all thanks to the prince. I will remember this kindness in my heart."
Shen Zhikang helped him up: "Zheyang, you and I are brothers, there is no need for these false formalities."
Song Zhening looked proud and said, "I have long said that Mu Xue is the real lucky star of our Song family. Besides, with the prince here, those rabble are not worth mentioning at all."
If Song Zhening was quite talented in martial arts and was valued by Shen Zhikang in the past, now that his hand was broken he had lost his value. In addition, he was impulsive and brainless, so Shen Zhikang gave up on him completely.
She just gave him a perfunctory smile and didn't say much.
Maybe he had been feeling depressed for too long recently, and when he saw Song Shaoyuan's family, he couldn't help but want to show off his superiority, with the look of a smug villain.
However, Song Shaoyuan was too lazy to deal with this brother with whom he had completely severed ties, so he simply ignored him and left.
As for the two sisters of the Song family, they were protected by Song Yunxi, and Shen Zhikang reminded them not to cause trouble, so even though Song Muxue was unwilling, she did not take the initiative to cause trouble.
Although he was depressed, he suppressed all his impulses when he recalled the conversation between Shen Zhikang and Shen Qiaoping that he had heard outside the study.
