Chapter 2025: The Miserable Fiancée vs. The Noble Young Lady (Part 60)

How could he possibly go back?

Shi Yunfei thought of his experiences over the past few months.

It was like falling from the heavens to the ground!

Initially, when he found the Shi Family in Cloud State, they weren’t warm to him at all, and they had no intention of recognizing him.

Because his biological mother had long passed away, and now his biological father had remarried, with the stepmother having given birth to two very successful legitimate sons.

To the Shi Family, he, the eldest son who had been missing for over ten years, was not as precious as expected.

However, their attitude changed when they learned about the identity of the people around him.

Upon hearing that the people accompanying him were from Prince Ping’s Mansion, and that Shi Yunfei found the Shi Family with the help of Prince Ping’s Mansion, the entire Shi Family’s attitude towards this legitimate eldest son changed drastically.

A legitimate son who could connect with Prince Ping could likely elevate the Shi Family to a higher status!

Shi Yunfei’s father, who was the head of the Shi Family, ignored his wife’s displeasure and quickly contacted the elders of the clan, opened the ancestral hall, and had this son who was wandering outside for years recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, taking the generation name ’Yun’ as Shi Yunfei.

Shi Yunfei vaguely understood that the family’s enthusiasm was likely due to Prince Ping’s Mansion, so he naturally wouldn’t foolishly reveal that he actually had no real connection with Prince Ping’s Mansion, and whenever the Shi Family inquired, he vaguely dodged the questions.

As time went by, the Shi Family naturally began to have suspicions.

Finally, over a month later, the head of the Shi Family discovered that the guards from Prince Ping’s Mansion who were by Shi Yunfei’s side had long disappeared.

After repeatedly questioning Shi Yunfei and only receiving vague responses, the head of the Shi Family felt that he might have been deceived!

He sent people to Cloud County to investigate and received information that was utterly infuriating.

His son had absolutely no connection with Prince Ping’s Mansion.

For so many years, he had just been adopted by a small shopkeeper!

And this time’s connection with Prince Ping’s Mansion was entirely coincidental.

The head of the Shi Family confronted Shi Yunfei with the information he had found, and seeing that he could no longer hide it, Shi Yunfei had to tell the truth.

The head of the Shi Family was so angry that he left in a huff.

From that day on, Shi Yunfei’s days in the Shi Family became very difficult.

Initially, his food, clothes, and daily necessities deteriorated, and even the servant boys in the household began to neglect him, while his two younger half-brothers earned titles...

As time went by, Madam Shi, knowing her husband’s mindset, stopped hiding her malice once it was clear this legitimate son from the original marriage couldn’t resurge.

Shi Yunfei could hardly believe that high-class families had so many ways to torment someone.

After enduring for a few months, Shi Yunfei eventually could no longer stand it, and one day, he ran away from that family.

He drifted back to Cloud County, only to discover that the Chang Family was no longer there.

After some inquiry, he finally found them in the Capital City.

...

When Shi Yunfei learned about the current situation of the Chang Family, he was excited.

He imagined many things, even thinking about how he would become the brother of the Lady of the County and the Princess Consort.

He even thought that if he could return to the Shi Family in Cloud State with such a status, those power-hungry clansmen would probably be extremely enthusiastic towards him, right?

The thought of such a possibility brought Shi Yunfei a sense of comfort.

Unfortunately, the only thing he didn’t anticipate was that Gu Shengyin would not give him any opportunity to return to the Chang Family.
