Chapter 131 Feeling like a world away
Song Muxue knew very well that her fate was firmly tied to Shen Zhikang's. They would prosper together and suffer together. So even for her own sake, she would do everything she could to help the Sixth Prince ascend the throne.
After coming out of Prince Kang’s Mansion, the gentle smile on Song Muxue’s face disappeared.
Before she came, she had never imagined that King Kang had been beaten so badly. After so many days, he still couldn't get out of bed and could only lie on the bed to recuperate.
According to the housekeeper, the imperial physician said that if he was beaten a few more times, even if his life could be saved, his legs would probably be crippled and he would never be able to stand up again.
This is simply an attempt to take his life.
Even if he didn't love him much, he was still his own son after all. How could the emperor be so cruel to him?
Just for Song Yunxi, he even ignored the life and death of his own son?
Just because she is Song Wentian’s adopted daughter and disciple, just because she is the heir of Shengyun Mountain.
For the first time, Song Muxue truly felt the sense of powerlessness and oppression brought about by her identity.
No wonder people in the entire capital are saying, even if he was abandoned when he was young, so what? Song Yunxi was lucky, even if he was abandoned, he could be picked up and adopted by the national teacher, grow up in Shengyun Mountain and become the mysterious heir of Shengyun Mountain.
Moreover, she has a master like the Imperial Master who loves and pampers her. She is the eldest daughter of the Imperial Master’s Mansion, who is protected by even the Emperor.
Compared to these, what was the status of the daughter of the Wenyuan Marquis's mansion? Only Song Muxue, who was born by her wet nurse, was held in her hands like a treasure.
And there is also the Prince of Duke Ningguo... no, it should be the Prince of Marquis Anning now. He abandoned Song Yunxi and chose Song Muxue, thinking that he had snatched a treasure. Who knew that he was really blind and threw away a pearl and treated a fish eye as a treasure.
Given Song Yunxi's status, not to mention the young talents in the entire capital, even the prince would have to see whether she was willing to marry him. How could he care about a mere son of the Marquis of An Ning?
Song Yunxi was probably grateful to the wet nurse for switching her and abandoning her, to the Wenyuan Marquis's mansion for expelling her and severing the ties with her, and to Shen Zhikang for betraying her and not marrying her.
These remarks that filled the capital city made Song Muxue so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. Every day she wished she could snatch everything from Song Yunxi and replace it.
Everything shouldn't be like this. She should be the girl of luck, and Song Yunxi should be her stepping stone to be stepped on by her.
Since her rebirth also indirectly triggered a series of changes, her first priority was to set things right and get everything back on track.
Ye Xuanling was obedient to her and could be used by her at any time just like in her previous life, so she naturally didn't need to waste any extra thoughts on him. The key now was to keep Ye Xuanke under firm control.
Song Muxue was confident in Ye Xuan Ke's feelings for her, but Ye Xuan Ke was different from others. What he valued most was the brotherhood between him and Ye Xuan Qi. His loyalty to his fourth brother could not be shaken by anyone.
No matter in the past or present life, Ye Xuanqi is someone she cannot control, so she can only hold Ye Xuanke in her hand as she did in her previous life.
Ye Xuanke's military talent should not be underestimated. He will become an invincible sword in Shen Zhikang's hands. His invincible ability will become the greatest help to the Sixth Prince.
She absolutely cannot let go of such a person.
Ye Xuanke, dressed in armor, had just returned to the city from the capital camp when he was stopped by a familiar voice. He reined in his horse and turned around to see Song Muxue walking towards him with a sweet smile.
She was still wearing a pure white dress, and the sunlight falling on her made her look so otherworldly and beautiful.
For a moment, Ye Xuanke felt as if he was in another world, as if Song Muxue in front of him was still the pure, kind and beautiful person he remembered.
In Wanshun Restaurant, Ye Xuanke was a little surprised when looking at the dishes on the table in front of him.
Song Muxue poured him a glass of wine: "These are all your favorite foods. I specially asked someone to make them."
Ye Xuan Ke felt even more sad and bitter in his heart. If he didn't know her inconsistency, if he didn't know how she ended up harming him in his previous life, he would have always believed in her and silently paid for her, even at the cost of his life.
Too bad, it's not worth it.
Ye Xuanke thanked him politely: "I wonder why the second young lady is looking for me?"
Such a polite but unfamiliar attitude froze the smile on Song Muxue's face, and then she said sadly: "Ake, are you blaming me for breaking off the engagement with Brother Qi? Does it mean that I can't be your fourth sister-in-law? Does it mean that I have to give up the affection we have had since we were young?"
mutual affection?
Ye Xuan Ke smiled bitterly in his heart: How much of this so-called affection is for the purpose of monitoring their every move for Shen Zhikang?
"I know that I was heartless to cancel the engagement because of Brother Qi's injury, but you really have to believe me, this is not what I want, and it is not something I can decide."
With a desolate and sad look on his face, he said, "I'm sure you know that I'm not the biological child of Marquis Wenyuan and his wife. I'm just the daughter of a nanny who is not presentable enough."
"I already knew about this shameful identity before my sister returned to the capital. If I, a woman who has no relationship with them, want to gain a foothold in the Wenyuan Marquis's mansion, I can only listen to them and be a sensible daughter..."
The more she cried, the more heartbroken she became. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "My father and mother raised me, and my brothers loved me. I must repay their kindness no matter what. The only thing I can do is to use myself to gain some benefits for the Marquisate."
It sounded as if Wenyuanhou's family had forced her to break off the engagement and marry Shen Zhikang.
Everyone in Wenyuanhou Mansion was indeed worthless to Song Yunxi, but they were all sincere to Song Muxue, and even though she was now an evil star with a bad reputation, they had never thought of driving her away.
If it were Song Yunxi, she would have been kicked out eight hundred times already.
Even after what has happened, you still have the nerve to let Wen Yuanhou's family take the blame.
What Song Yunxi said was indeed right, she had no conscience at all.
If she had any vague expectations or fantasies about her before, she shattered them all with her own hands during this meeting.
The reason why he followed her here was that he was still angry and wanted to ask her why she bullied and used him and his fourth brother, but now it seemed that he was being ridiculous.
No wonder Song Yunxi cursed him in her heart as a bootlicker, she was absolutely right.
In order to avoid suspicion, Song Muxue deliberately chose a seat near the window, and was coincidentally seen by Song Yunxi from Yiya Pavilion opposite.
When Ye Xuanqi came upstairs, he saw her holding her chin with one hand, looking very interested.
Following her gaze, a cold light flashed across Ye Xuanqi's eyes.
Song Yunxi didn't care: "Guess what they are talking about?"
Ye Xuanqi sat down opposite her: "Fifth brother has given up on her."
"Oh?"
Song Yunxi narrowed her beautiful eyes without commenting, looking like a lazy kitten: "You are really able to keep your composure when your closest brother adores your ex-fiancée."
