The person who understood this best should have been the Prince.
But he asked.
The Prince said, "Xiao Li should be the elder brother."
Should be?
Mmm...
Perhaps because a few years had passed, the Prince couldn't clearly recall which woman he had favored first.
As for the Regent's talk of twins? He didn't believe it. Twins weren't that easy to conceive.
Besides, if they truly had twins, the woman who gave birth to them would have excitedly rushed over to demand to be made a Princess.
"He's not my brother!" Zhan Xiao Li said.
Gu Xiao Feng, his face grim, retorted, "You're not my brother either."
The two little fellows confronted each other with their eyes.
Neither was willing to back down.
Butler Wang was startled by the scene. "Well... well... it's not that important who is the elder brother."
Suddenly.
Zhan Tian Ye appeared.
He sat in his wheelchair, his deep eyes sweeping over his two sons.
The moment he appeared, the two little fellows seemed to calm down.
Zhan Tian Ye couldn't distinguish who was the elder brother and who was the younger. The person who knew best was Yun Shu, so he would ask Yun Shu later. For now... "Xiao Li is the elder brother, Xiao Feng is the younger. You two must be amicable, understand?"
Zhan Xiao Li didn't want to speak.
Gu Xiao Feng didn't want to speak either.
However, he regretted it. He gritted his teeth and clenched his little fists tightly. "I want to go out of the manor."
"Go out of the manor? Where do you want to go?" Zhan Tian Ye asked gently.
From now on, Zhan Ming would not come within half a step of his sons! Don't even think about using his sons!
Gu Xiao Feng lowered his head, somewhat silent.
Seeing this, Zhan Tian Ye stated directly, "You want to see Yun Yue Yin, your godmother? Xiao Feng, there are some things you can't understand at this moment. Soon, I will make you understand certain things. Until these matters are clear, you should not see her for the time being."
"She's not my godmother!" Gu Xiao Feng quickly denied.
He knew something was off with him. Ever since he learned he had a mother, he hadn't thought of a godmother.
Vaguely, he sensed that his godmother seemed to be hiding something from him.
"Oh?" Zhan Tian Ye became a little curious. He didn't want to see Yun Yue Yin, and it shouldn't be Zhan Ming. Then who could it be?
"I heard you took in another son? You brat, how many women did you have before your legs were crippled? And you let these women give birth to your children?"
Old Master Qin walked over angrily, pointing at Zhan Tian Ye and questioning him.
He had never expected this.
Without anyone knowing, he had gained another great-grandson!
Zhan Tian Ye's face darkened, and he was somewhat speechless. "Several? Only one."
Gu Xiao Feng quickly looked up at Zhan Tian Ye, his small hands clenching tighter. Only one?
Then, it was even less likely to be his own father.
"One? You're still trying to lie to me?" Old Master Qin was enraged, almost driven mad.
His grandson, whom he had always considered to be of upright character, and whom he had even thought might not be interested in women, but rather men, had unexpectedly produced Xiao Li, and now, without anyone knowing, there was another, Xiao Feng.
His serious and aloof demeanor had even fooled his own grandfather!
"I'm not lying to you." Zhan Tian Ye had a headache and gently pressed his temples.
Old Master Qin sneered, then looked at Gu Xiao Feng. He looked exactly like Zhan Tian Ye; one glance was enough to know he was Zhan Tian Ye's offspring.
Although he was very displeased with Zhan Tian Ye at this moment, he was very fond of Gu Xiao Feng. "Let your great-grandfather have a look. Oh, he really looks like his father."
Gu Xiao Feng felt a pang of guilt and lowered his head.
He looked like him, but they weren't father and son.
"Look at the mess you've made! Letting your son wander outside and be bullied!" Old Master Qin was furious.
He suddenly remembered something. "Where is the child's mother?"
Zhan Tian Ye's eyes flickered, and the image of a graceful woman with a heavenly beauty seemed to appear before him. His voice deepened slightly, "In the capital."
"What? In the capital?" Old Master Qin was shocked. He slapped his thigh violently and leaned closer to Zhan Tian Ye, lowering his voice. "Tell your grandfather the truth. Don't worry, Grandfather won't beat you. Both of their mothers are in the capital? If it's possible, I'll propose to both families and let them both enter the manor as your equal wives, alright?"
He was truly worried sick!
"They are twins." Zhan Tian Ye said speechlessly.
Old Master Qin's mouth twitched. It seemed impossible to get the brat to tell the truth. "I told you to get engaged quickly, to get married as soon as possible according to Shu Ya Tou's words, but you kept delaying and delaying, and haven't found anyone yet! I know you might have other plans, but you must listen to me on this matter. You can't be such an irresponsible scoundrel. Someone has already given birth to your children..."
"Alright, I'll believe you for now, that they are twins. That means they have suffered even more and deserve to be married and treated well by you. Tell me, whose daughter did you ruin?" xxs1
Zhan Tian Ye was even more speechless.
Seeing Zhan Tian Ye's stubborn refusal, Old Master Qin was no longer lenient. "Speak up! If you don't, I'll hit you in front of your two sons!"
"The person is far away and yet close at hand. Grandfather, if you can make her agree to marry me now, then I'll consider you capable." Zhan Tian Ye's eyes moved, and he smiled at Old Master Qin.
Zhan Xiao Li heard their conversation.
Far away and yet close at hand?
Dad, don't be deceived by other women!
Startled, he quickly jumped out. "Great-Grandfather!"
Old Master Qin immediately looked at Zhan Xiao Li. "What is it, Xiao Li?"
"I can find my mother!" Zhan Xiao Li said quickly.
Zhan Tian Ye looked at Zhan Xiao Li, who had suddenly stepped forward, and raised an eyebrow. Good son.
Gu Xiao Feng also said in his heart that he had found his mother too, but he couldn't let them know, nor could he let his godmother and the others know.
Old Master Qin's eyes lit up. "What? You can find her? Come on, take Great-Grandfather there! Your father's agreement is irrelevant. Great-Grandfather has made the decision. We'll arrange their engagement, and let your mother marry in!"
Zhan Xiao Li, however, frowned. Mother had said that their relationship couldn't be revealed for the time being. He lowered his head and said, "I can find my mother, but... but, I haven't found her yet."
When Old Master Qin heard this, his mouth twitched fiercely. He had gotten excited for nothing!
He looked at Zhan Tian Ye again and said exasperatedly, "Do you want your two children to have no mother in the future?"
Zhan Tian Ye was somewhat helpless. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the steward of the Qin manor running over.
"Old Master, Old Master!"
The steward of the Qin manor ran breathlessly.
Old Master Qin frowned upon seeing him and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Second Miss Yun is at our manor and says she has something to see the Old Master." The steward reported in a hurry.
When Old Master Qin heard it was Shu Ya Tou, he couldn't bother to press Zhan Tian Ye any further and quickly said to the steward, "Let's go, let's go, we need to hurry back to the manor. We can't keep Shu Ya Tou waiting!"
"Grandfather, I'll take Xiao Li and Xiao Feng with me." Zhan Tian Ye suddenly spoke.
"What are you going for?" Old Master Qin was stunned.
