Song Xiangyu didn't say anything. When he met the Crown Prince's wife's eyes, he just sighed slightly and didn't intend to speak.
Song Che looked around at them and suddenly said, "Take Bin'er and Zhiyuan back home."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into silence.
The veins on the back of the Crown Prince's wife's hand were all bulging. She looked at Song Che in disbelief. She immediately ignored her previous thoughts of calming down and choked up, "Father, we already know we were wrong. You can't..."
Xu Ying is already dead!
Song Zhiyuan is fine too.
Moreover, after Song Xiangyu cried in the palace, even Xu Rui was sent to the imperial prison. It was said that Song Heng almost skinned him alive.
Since everyone already knows they were wrong, and the Xu family has learned a lesson and paid a heavy price for it, why are they still holding on to it
Song Che looked at her straight, until the Crown Prince's wife was completely silent, then he said solemnly: "If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price, no matter who it is. What I said at that time was never a joke."
The wife of the Crown Prince thought of what Song Che and Song Xiangyu said when she was in a big fuss, and suddenly she felt a little angry: "But, but Ayuan is fine..."
"It's okay. This is the result that Song Heng got after working hard." Song Che tapped his fingers on the table. People who were familiar with him knew that this was a sign of impatience.
The Crown Prince's wife didn't dare to refute anymore and could only cover her face and sob quietly.
Song Che ignored it. He looked at Song Zhibin and asked him, "Are you dissatisfied?"
Song Zhibin hurriedly shook his head. This time he was sincere. He knelt on the ground and whispered, "Grandfather, rest assured. I will reflect on my mistakes and never do it again!"
Song Che stared at him for a long time, as if he wanted to see through his eyes into his heart. After a long time, Song Che nodded and said, "If you are sincere, then there is still hope. Go back, go back to your hometown and study hard. Your third grandfather and the others are all in your hometown. They can teach you a lot."
After that, he looked at the Crown Prince's wife and said, "You don't have to worry. The boss will go back with you."
Boss?!
The Crown Prince's wife was unable to react for a moment. She stared at him in a daze for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Song Xiangyu.
What does this mean? !
Is Song Xiangyu really going to give up the position of Crown Prince? !
She shook her head anxiously, her fingertips turning white because she was shaking too hard. "It's clear that the situation is now completely in our favor. The fault lies with the Xu family. Even if Xu Ying is dead, it's his own fault. No one else can be blamed. Now that it's like this, the murderer has received retribution, and we all know we were wrong. Why can't we make a big deal out of a small one? Why do we have to do this?!"
She felt that Song Xiangyu was just trying to make things difficult for her and was using this trick to get revenge on her.
Song Che looked at Song Xiangyu indifferently, stood up, and said to Song Heng: "Come out with me."
Song Heng immediately stood up as instructed and followed him out the door.
The door creaked shut, drawing Song Zhibin's attention back.
He originally thought that everything was Song Heng's fault, but at this point, he no longer had this idea - Song Heng could have crushed him to the ground with one foot.
But in fact Song Heng did let him go.
His eyes were complicated, and he just heard the wife of the prince crying: "I know what I did was wrong. I have been bad to Ah Heng all these years. I will change in the future... Why do you still want to resign? You clearly know that if you resign, our position will be very embarrassing..."
Song Zhiyuan felt bad watching his mother crying without any image.
Song Xiangyu suddenly reached out and touched Song Zhiyuan's head. Seeing Song Zhiyuan looking up at him in shock, he said gently, "Isn't this good? From now on, I can always be with you."
The Crown Prince's wife's eyes hurt from crying. She couldn't say what she was afraid of, but she was undoubtedly very frightened.
She had been the Crown Prince's wife in the Guangping Marquis's Mansion for nearly twenty years and had become accustomed to this identity.
Once Song Xiangyu resigns from the position of Crown Prince, what will be their status in the Song family
What about the children
The Crown Prince's wife has always known that Song Xiangyu is a man of his word, not to mention Song Che. However, she didn't expect that they could really make such a decision so decisively without any hesitation.
She pulled Song Xiangyu's sleeve, her breath stuck in her chest, "But, are you willing to accept this?!"
"I have nothing to be unwilling about." Song Xiangyu's tone was relaxed, and he could even laugh: "I should take responsibility for what I did. It was because I failed to handle the household affairs that you made mistakes and led the children astray. In the final analysis, I am indeed not a competent father. As my father said, if you can't clean up your own house, how can you clean up the world?"
"Now that the title is gone, you don't have to worry about me favoring Ah Heng and giving the title to him." Song Xiangyu looked deeply at the Crown Prince's wife: "Yaohua, I'm really a little tired. Please let me have some peace and quiet for a few days."
He had never shown such vulnerability before.
The Crown Prince's wife bit her lip, feeling extremely upset.
Her eyelids hurt, not sure if it was because she had cried too much recently or because she was too tired. After a while of silence, she suddenly asked Song Xiangyu: "Have you decided?"
Song Xiangyu nodded.
The Crown Prince's wife then fell silent.
Song Zhibin and Song Zhiyuan both held their breath and dared not make a sound.
They all knew that what their mother feared most in the past was that Song Heng would snatch away the title.
After a long while, the Crown Prince's wife's shoulders suddenly slumped. She wiped the tears from her face, sighed, and said softly, "I understand. Since you said so, let's do it."
Song Xiangyu seemed to have expected her to say that. He hummed, glanced at his two sons, and said to her, "Go back and prepare. Take away everything that needs to be taken away. We'll go back when the Xu family's case is settled."
He paused again before saying, "I trust you."
These five words were heavier than any previous sentence. The Crown Prince's wife's hands trembled, and after a long while, she raised her head and looked at Song Xiangyu.
The two looked at each other, and she finally gave in: "Don't worry, I won't let you down again."
Song Xiangyu finally smiled.
He didn't say anything else, just patted his two sons on the shoulders and stood up: "I'm going to look for my father, you go back first, we'll have dinner together in the evening, call your son-in-law too, and have dinner together then. There's been a lot of blood and gore lately, and it makes people feel uneasy."
