Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 56 - 55: It’s Just a Prince’s Title

Su Juan turned around, only to see Song Qianhang, who had just been lying on the bed coughing, already off the bed and quickly walking towards her.

His hurried steps were as if he was rushing for his life.

Song Qianhang furrowed his brows, looking at Su Juan. She didn’t seem to be joking, so he tentatively asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of the relationship between me and my elder brother?"

Upon hearing this, Su Juan immediately smiled, "Your brotherly bond is quite good. You respect your elder brother, and he also takes great care of you."

Song Qianhang looked doubtful. Until now, he had indeed thought so, but now he was full of doubts, staring at Su Juan and asking, "Do you really think that?"

Su Juan was slightly taken aback and then smiled, "You’re his brother, how would I know?"

[Why did this fool suddenly ask this?]

[Could it be that he senses that Song Qianfan actually never liked him since childhood?]

Song Qianhang’s heart chilled: Did Big Brother really never like me?

But when I was little, every time I got into trouble, he clearly protected me, and he was often blamed by Father and Mother for it!

[Who told you to blame him every time you got into trouble as a child, always getting him punished by Father and Mother? Your brother might have felt that your parents favored you, giving you all the good things, leading to resentment.]

Song Qianhang was bewildered: But I never intended to compete with him!

[Moreover, you were always smarter than your brother since childhood, learning everything quickly, which made your parents favor you more, wanting you to inherit the throne; wouldn’t that make him hate you more?]

Song Qianhang tightly pressed his thin lips. He did know about this, but ever since then, he deliberately focused on eating, drinking, and playing, and didn’t frequent the Imperial College or write any articles, hoping Father and Mother would abandon this idea.

He wanted the family to know that these things belonged to his brother and he wouldn’t compete for them.

Su Juan shook her head, [It’s all the fault of favoritism, but ultimately, Song Qianfan is indeed more narrow-minded and vengeful than ordinary people, cold-hearted and cold-blooded, power-hungry. He doesn’t even care about his parents, let alone you, his brother, whom he deeply resents.]

[But there are still many things you can’t imagine. Even though he seems obedient now, when he rebels, your father will have to threaten him with his life. Yet he will ignore it, allowing your father to commit suicide, and eventually causing all those related to Prince Jing Mansion to be implicated, whose entire clan was exiled, some getting sick, others dying...]

Su Juan sighed, [The old Emperor was such a wise monarch, but even for the grave crime of rebellion, he was only banished those family members.]

Song Qianhang’s pupils suddenly contracted, "!" Big Brother would actually rebel!

And implicate so many people...

Su Juan suddenly changed her tone, [But it doesn’t matter, as you won’t live until that time anyway.]

Song Qianhang: "..."

At this moment, he realized that he might really not understand this elder brother who grew up with him.

What Su Juan said completely reshaped Song Qianhang’s impression of Song Qianfan, whom he thought was a person who respected his father, was filial to his mother, and cared for his brother. Even knowing he wanted to poison him, Song Qianhang only thought it was a misunderstanding and never wished him harm, even planning to move out of the Prince Jing Mansion.

But what was hard to believe was that Big Brother would rebel and even force Father to commit suicide.

Such actions are unworthy of being a son.

Su Juan didn’t know what was going on in Song Qianhang’s mind, seeing him deep in thought, she waved her hand in front of him, "What’s wrong with you, distracted?"

Song Qianhang’s heart sank to the bottom, with a sense of fear and powerlessness about the future.

No! I have to go explain to Big Brother, I can’t just stand by and watch him kill so many people!

"Sister-in-law, I have something to do, I’ll find you later for cards!"

With that, Song Qianhang rushed out of the room.

Su Juan was stunned for a while, puzzled, [What’s wrong with him?]

...

Song Qianhang asked several servants in the mansion before finally finding Song Qianfan in a music hall.

Song Qianfan had just discussed a major issue with others. Although His Majesty hadn’t given a clear order, it involved lives, and given his personality, he would certainly severely punish Prince Heng. Thus, Prince Heng was completely out of luck for the position of Crown Prince.

With Prince Heng losing power, Prince Han would certainly make a move, so he just instructed Mei He to win over Minister Wu of the Ministry of Rites before Prince Han.

Originally, he intended to extend an olive branch to Mo Youqian from the Ministry of Revenue, as this person was surely going to be promoted to Minister of Revenue after the New Year. However, this person always considered himself aloof and never sided with any faction, making it difficult to approach.

The Minister of Rites, Wu, was also a stubborn person, originally a man of Prince Heng, and might not be easy to woo either...

While thinking this, he grew increasingly irritable and more resentful and impatient with Su Juan. If it weren’t for Su Juan’s meddling, how could his arrangements have gone wrong one after another? By now, he would likely have controlled the three departments and wouldn’t be inferior to Prince Han in this matter.

That woman, truly deserves to die!

But until now, more than ten days later, his people still hadn’t found out who was secretly protecting Su Juan.

Now, not only has he failed to kill Su Juan, but he also alerted her, making it even harder to make a move.

While he was troubled by this, Song Qianhang suddenly came out, furrowing his brows, "Aren’t you sick? Why aren’t you resting in the mansion, and running out?"

Song Qianhang felt uneasy, as the first thing his brother said upon seeing him was concern for his illness, making it hard to imagine he had disliked him all along...

If it weren’t for Su Juan’s words, he wouldn’t have believed it.

He composed himself, poured a cup of wine, and raised it to Song Qianfan full of sincerity, "Big Brother, when I was little, I caused you to be blamed by Father and Mother frequently. It was my fault, and I apologize to you here!"

With that, he downed the wine in one gulp.

Song Qianfan pressed his thin lips, his eyes slightly deepened, his tone indifferent, "Those are childhood matters, no need to mention it again. I never blamed you."

Song Qianhang cautiously observed his brother, always feeling that it wasn’t as he said.

Just looking at Song Qianhang added some displeasure in Song Qianfan’s heart.

This brother, always pretentious, favored by Father and Mother since childhood, even taking the position that should have belonged to him, always pressing down on him as the elder brother.

Now he’s just indulging in pleasure, at the age to enter into an official career, yet achieving nothing, unable to write even a decent article, mingling with that prodigal from the Xie Family. Father and Mother still want to propose to His Majesty for Song Qianhang to inherit the title, fearing he’d suffer in the future without any achievements.

Both bearing the surname Song, born of the same mother, he’s always been better in everything, yet in the eyes of others, he’s inferior to Song Qianhang.

But it doesn’t matter, just a prince’s title.

Song Qianfan’s eyes gradually became filled with coldness. What he desired now was to be the Emperor of Jin, the supreme ruler...

When he ascends the throne, he will make those who wronged him repay tenfold!
