The Real Young Master Was Sold as a Slave, The Obsessive Crown Prince's Forced Love - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Hearing

Song Yu had a pair of round, dog-like eyes.

When he wanted to appear innocent and naive, his gorgeous face truly looked innocent, unstained by the world.

At this moment, Song Yu looked at Su Yunhe with those clear eyes, his gaze full of perplexed doubt, “How did Brother He know I was taken by Prince Yu? Weren’t you called away by that eunuch then?”

Su Yunhe’s expression immediately froze.

Then, he intimately reached out to take Song Yu’s hand, “You didn’t show up in the Imperial Academy of Medicine’s carriage later, so I thought maybe Prince Yu invited you to travel with him. How about it, was I wrong?”

“I didn’t ride in the Imperial Academy of Medicine’s carriage. Didn’t Brother He worry about me at all? Weren’t you afraid that I missed the carriage and was late, resulting in punishment? Weren’t you worried that I was unwell? When you left, I was still weak and listless,” Song Yu countered.

Su Yunhe felt a frantic unease churning inside him.

How did Song Yu return, exactly!

What exactly happened on the road!

Did Prince Yu say something that made Song Yu suspicious of him?

Prince Yu was clearly extremely fanatical about male beauty, and Song Yu looked like this…

Yet, why were there no marks on Song Yu’s neck?

Countless speculations swirled in Su Yunhe’s mind. Before he could answer, Song Yu spoke again, “Oh right, Brother He, when my adoptive father adopted me, I was wearing a jade pendant.

“Later, after my adoptive father passed away, you said you would keep the jade pendant for me.

“After that, you left without saying goodbye.

“Can you give that jade pendant back to me?”

[??? What jade pendant?]

[Could it be the one Su Yunhe is wearing? He said that was the keepsake left by his parents!]

Since Song Yu was testing him, he decided to go all the way.

Reading the words floating past his eyes.

Song Yu smiled, his eyes curving, at Su Yunhe, “Brother He is the biological son of my adoptive father, but Little Yu still hopes to rely on that jade pendant to find my own parents. Brother He, please return the jade pendant to me.”

[!!!]

[F*ck! The hunter who adopted Little Yu is Su Yunhe’s biological father?]

[Then why does Su tell everyone he was adopted and doesn’t know who his birth parents are!]

[Could he have taken Little Yu’s jade pendant to try and take Little Yu’s identity?]

[But Song Yu is the real young master of the Earl of Anping’s Residence?]

[So confusing, but this Su Yunhe really has issues. Heavens, can this kind of person really be the protagonist shou?]

[No wonder he denied knowing Little Yu when Little Yu arrived in the capital and even tried to harm him! He clearly wants to replace Little Yu!]

The words said all sorts of things.

Song Yu only looked at Su Yunhe, waiting for his answer.

The expression in Su Yunhe’s eyes suddenly changed drastically, a clear panic flashing across his face, “The jade pendant isn’t on me, it’s still in the trunk at the Imperial Academy of Medicine. I’ll give it back to you when we return.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pinched Song Yu’s cheek, just like he used to.

“What’s wrong, all of a sudden? You sound so distant from your brother after just a short time away.”

[Nonsense, that jade pendant is on him.]

[It’s hanging on his neck. Little Yu just needs to pull open his clothes to catch him red-handed!]

Song Yu stared at Su Yunhe’s chest, concealed by his collar.

His heart went cold, segment by segment.

He didn’t pull open the collar; he didn’t catch him red-handed.

He decided to spare the last shred of dignity, if only for the sake of his adoptive father’s soul in heaven.

He didn’t even push away the hand Su Yunhe used to pinch his cheek, only smiling and saying, “It just suddenly came to mind. I was holding onto a sliver of hope that maybe I could find my birth parents.”

Song Yu yawned.

“Brother He, I’m tired. I’m going inside to sleep. Did Master Xu say this room is mine?”

Su Yunhe fiercely gripped the handle of the sprayer.

Xu Huai’en had ordered him to clean this courtyard, instructing him to make sure it was spotless.

It was for Song Yu to use?

Why!

Why did Song Yu get to treat him like a servant!

Suppressing the malice and fear in his heart, Su Yunhe said to Song Yu, “Alright, then Brother He will accompany you inside to sleep.”

Song Yu shook his head, “No, I want to rest alone.”

After saying that, Song Yu lifted his foot and walked inside.

He could feel more clearly now that, although his current body was tired, it did not impede normal walking.

Unlike the morning.

He had been so weak that he couldn’t even walk.

He had foolishly thought at first that it was because his body was frail after detoxing…

Qi Wang only thought he was drugged by Prince Yu, but the truth was perfectly clear to himself.

Brother He, you truly are my good Brother He. To use a drug like Yun Qingshuang on me.

Let’s part ways from here on out.

Brother He.

Goodbye.

…

Song Yu went inside.

Su Yunhe emerged from the courtyard with a ashen face.

He had to go and find out exactly how Song Yu returned.

…

“How did Song Yu get off the Crown Prince’s carriage? What dirty tricks did he use to not only climb onto Prince Yu’s carriage but also the Crown Prince’s!”

Behind the courtyard where the Imperial Academy of Medicine was staying was a small river.

Tall reeds grew by the riverbank.

Su Yunhe had arranged to meet someone here, but as soon as he walked over, he heard an angry voice coming from within the reeds.

Hearing Song Yu’s name, Su Yunhe immediately lightened his footsteps. Seeing no one around, he approached the reeds.

Through the gaps, he clearly saw the people inside.

It was the young master from the Earl of Anping’s Residence, Song Shi’an, who was currently studying at the Imperial College.

Opposite Song Shi’an was the young man named Gu Zhen, the top scholar in the Qinghe County examination this time, who had also entered the Imperial College. Rumor had it that he was highly regarded by the Libationer of the Imperial College due to his academic excellence.

The rumors said they had an engagement…

Su Yunhe quietly squatted down, listening.

Separated by a patch of reeds.

Song Shi’an was consumed by furious anxiety, “No matter what, Song Yu must die!”

Gu Zhen embraced Song Shi’an, gently comforting him, “I know you are very afraid, afraid that Song Yu will tell everyone the truth. You need to know that I am just as worried as you, but today, Prince Yu invited Song Yu to travel with him, and yet the Crown Prince killed Prince Yu’s attendant and snatched Song Yu away.

“What does this mean? It means the Crown Prince values Song Yu highly.”

Squatting there, Su Yunhe listened, heart trembling with fear. The Crown Prince had actually saved Song Yu.

Resentment flared up in his heart.

Song Yu actually told him that he didn’t know the Crown Prince!

Was this how he hid things from him, despite their lifelong bond!

He truly was an ungrateful wretch!

As anger burned in Su Yunhe’s heart, Song Shi’an pushed Gu Zhen away.

“I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care! I won’t listen to your grand theories or big plans! I only know that because of Song Yu, my mother died! Now, Song Yu has not only climbed his way up to Consort Li but also the Crown Prince.

“The matter of my academic title will be exposed sooner or later!

“I must make him die!

“If he doesn’t die, sooner or later everyone will know that he is the real young master of the Earl of Anping’s Residence, and I am the fake one!”

Su Yunhe’s heart suddenly jumped in alarm.

He instinctively touched the jade pendant hanging around his neck!

Gu Zhen tried to console Song Shi’an, “I know you’re anxious. I will handle this matter. Don’t be rash.”
