Chapter 61: Chapter 57: Calling Someone Else Brother Too

“Second Miss Song, please return to the mansion with this old servant.”

Song Yun saw that Prince Rong had summoned the most senior steward of the mansion, and realized there was no room for negotiation in this matter.

In the great hall, everyone was enjoying themselves, with no one caring about her departure. Even her father avoided looking at her, his eyes only on her legitimate elder sister.

She was really unwilling. If she had been born legitimate, the one sitting next to her father now would be her!!

She wouldn’t have to rack her brains to squeeze into the so-called orthodox circle and wouldn’t have to be so cautious everywhere in Prince Rong Mansion!

But even so, even though she had calculated much, there were always people standing at heights she couldn’t reach, and with a slight push, she had no power to resist.

She was already following the steward along a side path, but the voices of those people still followed her like shadows.

“This Second Miss Song doesn’t seem as clever as the young miss, is it because she’s illegitimate?”

“Mrs. Li surely knows, right? That concubine from the Song Mansion made a scene at the Imperial College before, and now, apart from the young miss, all other children of Song Mansion are banned from enrolling at the Imperial College! The Duke’s title was lost at that time too!”

“No wonder, there’s always been a sense of petty family air about this child, which is unpleasant.”

“Keep your voice down, she’s coming.”

“So what if she’s coming, are we supposed to be afraid of a little child? Those born of concubines don’t deserve to be in the spotlight.”

Song Yun walked past quickly, her eyes filled with hatred. The humiliation she endured today, she would repay doubled in the future.

Whether it was Shen Jingxian or Song Yan!

Song Yun got into the carriage provided by the steward, expecting to return to Prince Rong Mansion. However, it wasn’t until the carriage stopped at the gates of the Song Mansion that she realized she had been sent back.

This meant something that needed no words.

Prince Rong had initially agreed to take her as an adopted daughter.

To give her a status, he had taken her from the Song Mansion and raised her in the mansion, turning her from an illegitimate daughter into the Third Miss of Prince Rong Mansion.

Prince Rong had also said that Prince Rong Mansion would always be her support.

Could it be that all of this was nullified just because she offended the Princess today?

“Uncle Zhang, why have we come here?”

Song Yun’s voice trembled a bit, even though she already knew the answer, she wanted to confirm it once more.

Uncle Zhang’s smile was no longer kind, but turned indifferent and distant, as if she were merely a stranger, “Second Miss Song, this is your home.”

“Uncle Zhang, has my adoptive father abandoned Yun’er…”

“Second Miss Song, you are still the Prince’s adopted daughter, but the mansion is not where you belong.”

Song Yun’s eyes turned red, her voice choked as she spoke, “But, I can’t bear to leave my adoptive father and mother…”

Facing Song Yun’s pitiful appearance, Uncle Zhang’s expression didn’t change, and he said blandly, “You should also think about your own mother.”

With those words, Song Yun had nothing left to say.

Uncle Zhang left.

Song Yun also knew that something had been lost today.

“Yunyun?! Yunyun, why have you come back? Do you miss your mother? If you came back, won’t Prince Rong… even if you miss your mother, you must think of the bigger picture…”

“Mother…” Song Yun’s voice, laced with sobs, made Yin Ling freeze.

“What’s the matter…”

“Mother, I can never go back to Prince Rong Mansion again…”

Song Yun recounted what had happened today, and then shouted at Yin Ling, “Mother! Make Song Yan die!! Make Shen Jingxian die!! Let them all die!!!”

“Alright, alright, my dear Yun’er, don’t cry, we still have a chance, mother will make them pay!”

…

Originally thinking she had just passed another major life hurdle, Shen Jingxian exhaled and sat down, but before she could pick up her chopsticks again, she heard the whisper of a demon beside her.

“Your Highness, why are you calling someone else brother too?”

Shen Jingxian almost choked on her own spit from that sentence.

Fortunately, her determination not to become history’s first princess to choke to death on spit revived her.

“Brother Ranchen, what are you talking about?” Shen Jingxian tried to gloss over it with cuteness.

“Just now, Your Highness also called that Prince Shen brother.”

Shen Jingxian vaguely felt something was amiss, but she still replied, “Can’t I call him that?”

Wen Ranchen shook his head and said, “How could Ranchen dictate Your Highness? It’s just that with so many people around Your Highness, someday I fear you’ll forget about Ranchen.”

After speaking, Wen Ranchen showed a sad expression, possessing the quality of looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, with tears rolling in his heart despite his young age!!!

The only difference was that Wen Ranchen was better-looking than other non-mainstream 45-degrees, good-looking children are always more cherished.

So Shen Jingxian was moved.

Wen Ranchen was raised by her! (Thick fog) How could she bear to see Wen Ranchen sad!

“Brother Chen, don’t say that, how could you be the same as them!”

Wen Ranchen still looked sad, “And how am I not the same?”

With a gentle voice, hesitating to speak, looking pitiful, Shen Jingxian felt she needed to learn from Comrade Wen Ranchen.

Her cultivation was clearly lacking.

Despite her inner turmoil and laughter, Shen Jingxian still coaxed the little Wen Ranchen, “In my heart, Brother Chen is unique! Nowhere else is the same!”

Then Wen Ranchen laughed, looking so good that Shen Jingxian was dumbfounded.

Woo woo woo woo, Wen Ranchen is really good-looking.

But Shen Jingxian hadn’t forgotten that deadly question.

“Brother Ranchen, you pinched me really hard just now.”

Wen Ranchen’s smile remained, accurately grasping the Princess’s small hand, “Does the Princess want to retaliate?”

Shen Jingxian had originally planned to, but when Wen Ranchen said this, she felt it unnecessary, Wen Ranchen was just trying to help her,

so she just symbolically pinched Wen Ranchen’s face and then laughed, “Now we’re even!”

Wen Ranchen, with his face pinched, looked a bit dazed, finally responding after a while, “Hmm.”

Afterward, everyone else also presented their gifts, and there were no further complications.

However, the calmer it was, the more uneasy Shen Jingxian became, in the original text, Song Yan was challenged at the banquet, now, while Song Yan hadn’t made a move, she herself had already taken a round trip with the little green tea, wondering what would happen next.

According to the plot’s nature, Song Yan would certainly be challenged, and overcome them, shining brightly.

She herself would definitely be humiliated or suffer equivalent spiritual or physical harm.

This was torture for Shen Jingxian.

Knowing she was going to become unlucky, yet not knowing exactly when, was akin to the tense and exciting wait the day before an exam.

Seeing Shen Jingxian distracted, Wen Ranchen thought he had played too much just now, quickly reverting to Wen•thoughtful and gentle•Ranchen, and told Shen Jingxian two hell jokes, successfully capturing her attention.

Just when Shen Jingxian let down her guard, the gears of the plot began to turn.

“Your Majesty, Prince Wen is a rarely seen genius at the Imperial College, Hao Guang dares to challenge Prince Wen today!”
