"Of course, there are issues with the Regent's side," Yun Shu nodded.
Yu Le's face instantly flushed. "That, then... were the rumors before all true?!"
"Little Yu Le, you're still too naive. Come, go and get your young lady another bowl of congee. I'm in a good mood today and have a big appetite. Eat more," Yun Shu handed over the bowl.
Yu Le's face turned even redder. She simply couldn't imagine that scene. The Regent clearly looked like a man, so why wouldn't he be capable?
Despite her blushing, Yu Le quickly served Yun Shu another bowl of congee.
Yun Xiao Jing came running in a flash.
He threw his arms around Yun Shu.
"Mother!"
Yun Shu looked down at Yun Xiao Jing. "You're back? How was your sleep at Prince Ye's manor last night?"
"I missed Mother! I missed Mother so, so much! Mother, Xiao Feng is so pitiful. The bad woman wanted him to harm Mother, but Xiao Feng is exceptionally smart, smart enough to be compared to me. He guessed that the bad woman might be someone who would harm Mother, so he didn't agree, but he's very sad." Yun Xiao Jing felt empathy.
Perhaps because they were triplets, they had a telepathic connection.
He still felt that Xiao Feng was sad.
Yun Shu nodded gently. "Mother already knows."
"Mother, I will be extra good to him and Xiao Li from now on! I will absolutely not let anyone harm them again, just like I protect Mother, I will protect them!" Yun Xiao Jing raised his little fist, as if making a very important decision.
Yun Shu's heart warmed. "Mm, Xiao Jing has grown up."
She would take them away from the capital very soon.
It seemed she shouldn't delay any longer and should tell Yun Chang Feng the truth in advance.
...
Prince Ye's Manor.
A carriage from the Regent's manor was parked in front of the gate.
Just moments ago, Zhan Ming had entered Prince Ye's manor.
And had arrived before Zhan Tian Ye.
In the study, Zhan Ming stood with his hands behind his back. Although he was smiling, his complexion was pale and gloomy. His sinister gaze swept around the study.
Finally, he looked at Zhan Tian Ye.
"Prince Ye, I have come to see Xiao Feng. He calls me Godfather, and we already have a father-son bond. I have a dog in my manor that has a good relationship with Xiao Feng. I will take him back to the Regent's manor for a few days, and then I will send him back."
Zhan Tian Ye raised his eyes, and when he looked at Zhan Ming, his gaze was cold, like a unsheathed blade, sharp and piercing. "Regent, please send the dog directly."
Zhan Ming's expression changed drastically. "Prince Ye, I came in person to pick up Xiao Feng. You won't even give me this face?"
Good riddance, Chu Tian Ye!
Soon, he would make Chu Tian Ye disappear from this world!
Zhan Tian Ye remained with a cool expression, showing little emotion. "Xiao Feng is my son, so he naturally has to live in the manor. He cannot go anywhere."
"You! Xiao Feng is also my godson. If I hadn't sent him to your side, how would you have known you had another son? If I had known you were so ungrateful, I shouldn't have sent Xiao Feng back!" Zhan Ming's handsome, slender eyes narrowed into a straight line.
It was enough to show how angry he was at that moment.
"Even without the Regent, I would have found Xiao Feng very soon. As long as he is my son, I will not let him be an outcast," Zhan Tian Ye said coldly.
Zhan Ming's lips were taut, and he almost blurted out that Gu Xiao Feng was not your son at all.
Fortunately, he restrained himself at the last moment.
He could only grit his teeth. "If you are worried that I will do something to him, then let Qiu Lu take him back to the Regent's manor with me!"
At this moment.
Zhan Xiao Li and Gu Xiao Feng arrived at the study door.
They were looking for their father, hoping he would let them go find Yun Xiao Jing.
As a result, they saw Zhan Ming in the study.
Zhan Ming turned his head and saw Zhan Xiao Li and Gu Xiao Feng.
He immediately walked up to Gu Xiao Feng. "Xiao Feng, have you missed your Godfather these past few days? Do you want to come back to the Regent's manor with your Godfather for a few days?"
He was determined to take Gu Xiao Feng away today, to make Gu Xiao Feng complete a task for him! And then to threaten Gu Xiao Feng about the consequences of disobedience!
Gu Xiao Feng tightened his hands, lowered his head, and nervously looked at Zhan Tian Ye.
He didn't want to leave with his Godfather!
He wanted to be with his father, mother, and brothers.
"No!" Zhan Xiao Li quickly shielded Gu Xiao Feng behind him.
He heard the Regent's thoughts!
The Regent, like Yun Yue Yin, was a bad person!
Zhan Tian Ye's clear and cold voice immediately rang out, "I have already refused you. Xiao Feng will not return to the Regent's manor with you."
Gu Xiao Feng, who had been nervous and scared moments ago, was suddenly not tense or afraid anymore.
With Father here, his Godfather definitely couldn't take him away!
Seeing Gu Xiao Feng clearly refuse him, and not even look at him, Zhan Ming knew that he had been enjoying himself immensely at Prince Ye's manor these past few days, truly regarding Zhan Tian Ye as his own father, and thinking that with Zhan Tian Ye backing him, he could ignore even his commands.
After hearing Zhan Ming's thoughts, Zhan Xiao Li blinked his eyes.
He cursed in his heart: The Regent is an idiot!
He still doesn't know that Xiao Feng is Father's son, his brother! And that their mother is the same person!
"Xiao Feng, your master has come to the capital. He also wants to see you. Are you sure you don't want to go see your master?" Zhan Ming's eyes moved, and he suddenly asked very gently.
Gu Xiao Feng immediately looked up at Zhan Ming.
Seeing Gu Xiao Feng finally look up, Zhan Ming smiled. "Your master rarely comes to the capital, and his health is very poor. He really hopes to see you. If you miss this opportunity, you might never see your master again."
"Can't Master Xiao Feng come to Prince Ye's manor?" Zhan Xiao Li said indignantly.
Zhan Ming glanced at Zhan Xiao Li, saying nothing. He was just a child, and he didn't need to bother with him. He knew Gu Xiao Feng would definitely agree.
As expected.
Gu Xiao Feng looked at Zhan Tian Ye. "Father, I want to go back to the Regent's manor to see Master. Master took care of me for the past two years."
Zhan Ming also looked at Zhan Tian Ye, a triumphant look flashing in his eyes.
See!
He still had many trump cards, and Zhan Tian Ye, who was kept in the dark, would ultimately lose to him!
"Xiao Feng!" Zhan Xiao Li looked at Gu Xiao Feng in astonishment.
Gu Xiao Feng pursed his lips. "Master is like family to me. He is ill, and I must go see him." He knew that if he didn't go, his Godfather would definitely punish his Master. His Master was old, and his health had been poor for the past two years. If he were punished, he might not survive.
"Alright, go. Come back tonight. Qiu Lu, you will accompany Xiao Feng to the Regent's manor," Zhan Tian Ye commanded in a deep voice, his dark eyes unfathomable.
"Yes, Your Highness," Qiu Lu replied.
Zhan Ming curled his lips into an evil smile.
...
General's Manor.
Yun Shu arrived outside Yun Chang Feng's study.
She gently knocked on the door. "Father, may I come in?"
