The Real Young Master Was Sold as a Slave, The Obsessive Crown Prince's Forced Love - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Tearing Apart

Song Yu looked at the shifting expressions on Su Yunhe’s face, and his insides cramped with pain.

Brother Ah-He, are you plotting against me again?

Song Yu pulled his lips into a smile, as usual, “However, even if the Crown Prince and I aren’t close, if Brother Ah-He asks me to plead for you, I am still willing to try.”

Su Yunhe hastily said, “I saw that you were rescued by the Crown Prince, so…”

“Rescued?” Song Yu’s smile widened even more as he looked at Su Yunhe, “Why are you using that word, Brother Ah-He? Was I in some kind of danger?”

Su Yunhe’s heart gave a sudden lurch.

Oops.

I slipped up!

Song Yu had never told him what happened after he was taken away by Prince Yu!

Su Yunhe quickly explained, “I heard others say that His Highness the Crown Prince beat His Highness Prince Yu, and I thought it was because Prince Yu had done something to you, which angered the Crown Prince into hitting him.”

Song Yu only felt that his heart was chilled through by Su Yunhe’s every word.

“If that’s the case, then why didn’t Brother Ah-He ask me if His Highness Prince Yu hurt me? Instead, you came in and immediately asked me to help you plead for mercy?”

Su Yunhe was angered into embarrassment by the question, “Xiao Yu, what do you mean by this tone? Do you think I would harm you? You got the eye of the Crown Prince, but you weren’t willing to tell me.

“I haven’t even gotten angry with you, so what are you being so sarcastic about!

“If you genuinely don’t want to help me, then just say so, why make these remarks.”

[Woah, he’s using the ‘reverse blame’ tactic so well!]

[He’s totally PUAing Xiao Yu!]

Song Yu didn’t know what PUA meant, but he took the opportunity to sit back down, “Fine, then I won’t go.”

Su Yunhe: …

Su Yunhe: !!!

Su Yunhe was almost driven mad with anger!

If he truly didn’t go, how could he complete Prince Yu’s task.

With eyes filled with resentment, Su Yunhe looked at Song Yu, full of grievance, “Xiao Yu, don’t you care about our childhood affection at all? You clearly have a good relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince, and you can bear to watch me being beaten like this and heartlessly ignore it?

“Daddy’s spirit in heaven will surely be saddened.”

Song Yu wanted to jump up and slap Su Yunhe.

Who is the one causing the adoptive father grief!

It’s been three years since the adoptive father passed away, and you haven’t returned once to pay respects!

How dare you say that!

Song Yu originally only wanted to see what tricks Su Yunhe was playing!

But now—

Su Yunhe had harmed him, but the kindness of the adoptive father was real.

The adoptive father had been very good to him.

Let this be repayment for the adoptive father’s kindness!

Tearing off the mask completely and never entangling again is the greatest decency for both of them.

He didn’t want to make a move against Su Yunhe.

Clenching his fist, Song Yu dropped the facade of courtesy on his face and just coldly asked Su Yunhe, “I’m being sarcastic? You were clearly beaten by Prince Yu, so why did you lie to me and say you were beaten by the Crown Prince? Since Prince Yu beat you, why are you asking me to plead with the Crown Prince, and what plea are you asking for?”

Su Yunhe’s face instantly changed dramatically.

How did Song Yu know!

When did he know!

What else does he know!

Unable to maintain any composure, Su Yunhe looked at Song Yu in terror.

Song Yu simply laid everything out, “This morning, the water Brother Ah-He gave me to drink had ‘Cloud Frost’ in it. Brother Ah-He says I don’t care about old affections, but if I truly didn’t, you wouldn’t be here right now, you’d be arrested and interrogated by the Ministry of Justice.”

Su Yunhe turned pale, taking a step back.

Song Yu actually knew!

“You…”

“Brother Ah-He says I don’t care about old affections, but after the adoptive father passed away, you left for three years and never returned once, not even for the adoptive father’s memorial day. What right do you have to accuse me of not caring about old affections?”

Being exposed layer by layer and aggressively accused by Song Yu.

Su Yunhe couldn’t endure the humiliation!

He exploded in anger.

“Are you so virtuous? If you were virtuous, why didn’t you tell me that you are the child of the Earl of Anping’s residence! If you were virtuous, why didn’t you tell me that the Earl of Anping’s residence put you in the Imperial Academy of Medicine!

“What is your purpose in coming to the Imperial Academy of Medicine?

“Isn’t it to step on me to achieve your own goals?

“Are you pure?”

[Woah, I’m speechless at this accusation. What did Song Yu step on you for, Su Yunhe!]

[Is Xiao Yu enjoying himself at the Earl of Anping’s residence?]

[Su Yunhe was demoted because of Song Yu!]

[Nonsense! He was demoted because he didn’t tell the truth!]

The words started arguing again.

Song Yu couldn’t be bothered to look.

He just coldly said, “Since the conversation has reached this point, let’s be completely frank. You feel I’ve wronged you, and I feel you’ve harmed me time and again. Then there’s no need for us to be close anymore, from now on we can just be ordinary colleagues.

“Anyway, you didn’t want to tell everyone about our relationship. You denied it when Vice-Director Xu asked.

“It’s perfect, let’s be strangers from now on.

“You should leave!”

Being unceremoniously given the eviction notice by Song Yu.

It felt like a master giving an expulsion order to a lowly slave, sparking towering rage and sharp jealousy in Su Yunhe’s heart.

Why is Song Yu the one doing the expelling!

As the two were speaking, a young attendant came from outside, standing respectfully at the doorway to deliver a message, “Physician Song, Consort Li requests your presence to take her pulse.”

Song Yu let out a suppressed breath, stood up, and went to get his medicine chest.

Su Yunhe grabbed Song Yu’s arm, keeping his voice low, “What right do you have to tell me we’re strangers from now on? If my father hadn’t adopted you, you would have been eaten by wolves on the mountain long ago!”

Su Yunhe knew that Song Yu was always soft-hearted, and he knew how to exploit that soft heart.

“I did a few things to wrong you, but I had my reasons. I had my logic.

“As for you, could you have lived to this day without my father raising you?

“Even for this life-saving kindness, you shouldn’t treat me like this!”

[He’s not even pretending anymore!]

[The masks are completely off!]

[W**! W**! W**, what is this, is he trying to morally bind him?]

Binding?

The coldness in Song Yu’s eyes, which had only been indifferent, burst forth with ice-dagger-like killing intent. He asked, word by word, “Since you keep talking about the adoptive father, then why, for three years in the capital, did you tell others that you didn’t know who your birth parents were?

“My adoptive father, the old hunter, isn’t your biological father?

“What difficulty or reason do you have that makes you afraid to even acknowledge your own father?

“What? Are you going to find another father?”

Su Yunhe’s entire body stiffened violently.

Song Yu even knows about this?

Who told him!

These words, he only told…

“Physician Song!”

The attendant outside urged him anxiously.

Song Yu fiercely pulled his arm out of Su Yunhe’s grasp and strode out.

He stopped at the door, pushed it open, looked back, and stared coldly at Su Yunhe, “Physician Su, I am leaving. Please leave my room.”

…

Consort Li’s private courtyard.

As expected of a favored consort, it was extravagant with a showy splendor.

As Song Yu was led in by a maid, he was met with Consort Li’s lively smile, “Come quickly, this is my cousin from my mother’s side. How is she, isn’t she beautiful!”

Song Yu was just about to bow and greet her.

He was severely startled by the words.

Huh?
