Chapter 12 The Pressure Mounts
From that day on, I did not see Song Chengyuan for several days.
I focused on school while he stayed away from the Song residence.
The first to grow restless was Xu Yunru.
She had only recently learned that Song Yu had already handed over power to Song Chengyuan.
Song Chengyuan's methods were even tougher than Song Yu's. In just a few months, everyone in the Song family obeyed him.
Song Yu had looked unwell lately. Being controlled was clearly unpleasant.
Xu Yunru drank herbal medicine every day to regain her health and give Song Yu another child to fight for the family assets.
I did not know whether to call her smart or foolish.
Song Chengyuan might not be at the residence, but his eyes were everywhere in the Song family.
Forget whether a new heir could even be born.
Even whether Xu Yunru's medicine had been tampered with remained unknown.
Song Chengyuan was truly no good.
He turned the Song residence upside down and left without a care.
He left Song Yu and Xu Yunru anxious and fearful every day.
They were still the master and mistress of the house, but my position as an awkward outsider grew worse.
Song Yu felt nothing toward me. Xu Yunru not hitting or scolding me was already a mercy.
The servants always looked at me strangely.
Their service was naturally not good either.
