Chapter 180: Who’s Feng Zixiu’s Biological Father?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Soon after, Liu Xiaolan climbed in through the window. He was wearing women’s clothes, and he looked very beautiful. Unsure where to begin, he stammered, “I…”
Feng Yili looked at Liu Xiaolan with a piercing gaze, and the latter froze. In the end, he bit the bullet and said, “Actually, Zixiu is my child.”
Yu Yunxi:
Seeing her expression, Liu Xiaolan knew that she did not believe him. He had no choice but to tell the truth.
“Actually, I’m the Tenth Prince of Nanyue…”
Yu Yunxi:
“My mother was not favored. She was originally the Empress’ maid. Later on, due to her looks, my father took a liking to her. Naturally, that only aroused the Empress’ hatred. My father was heartless. It only took a few words from the Empress for my father to abandon my mother. My mother was not given a title even after she gave birth to me. I… I could only take my mother’s surname…”
“With her status, my mother knew that she could not protect me at all. As such, as soon as I was born, she lied to everyone and told everyone that I was a girl. From then on, I hid my true gender…”
“When my master traveled to Nanyue, he saw through my disguise immediately, but he did not expose me. Instead, he was kind enough to convince my father to let me leave with him.”
Liu Xiaolan looked helpless when he spoke.
Yu Yunxi frowned slightly, feeling complicated. After a moment, she asked,
“Why didn’t you return to your original gender after leaving Nanyue?”
“That’s because of… Little Junior Sister,” Liu Xiaolan said. His eyes dimmed, and he sounded very lonely as he continued to say, “Little Junior Sister hates men except for Master and Eldest Senior Brother. The only way for me to stay by her side is to be her Second Senior Sister.”
Liu Xiaolan smiled bitterly after she finished speaking.
A thought appeared in Yu Yunxi’s mind after she heard these words. She asked bluntly, “So your Little Junior Sister likes Feng Yili, and you like your Little Junior Sister?”
At the side, Feng Yili, who was once again dragged into this matter, massaged his head and said, “Yunxi, I..
“Shut up. I’m talking to him, not you,” Yu Yunxi said.
Feng Yili was not angry. On the contrary, he was very obedient and stood at the side quietly.
At the same time, Luo Xiuran was crouching outside the window, listening and watching. He shook his head and clicked his tongue before he said, “Only Yunxi can make Yili so obedient…”
If anyone spoke to Feng Yili like that, the grass on the graves would be two meters tall by now.
At this time, a childish voice said angrily, “Mother said that peeping is the behavior of a lowly person!”
Luo Xiuran turned around and saw the little bun frowning at him disdainfully. He pulled the little bun over and made a hush gesture.
“What are you doing…”
The little bun struggled.
Luo Xiuran quickly whispered, “Your father is explaining himself to your mother. Let’s listen. I guarantee you won’t regret it.”
‘Explanation?’
The little bun calmed down and tilted his head to look into the kitchen.
“That’s right. Little Junior Sister has always liked Eldest Senior Brother and hopes to marry him. I know this. Back then, due to some misunderstandings, she mistook the child in her stomach for Eldest Senior Brother’s child. At that time, she secretly left to give birth to the child…” Luo Xiuran explained with a straight face.
Yu Yunxi had a headache when she heard this.
‘What a complicated relationship…’
“After the child was born, she sent it to Master. We wanted to find her to explain these things to her. However, she seemed to have a grudge against us and has been hiding from us for many years,” Liu Xiaolan continued to say, “So, Sister-in-law, don’t blame Eldest Senior Brother anymore. This matter really has nothing to do with him. Consort Dowager Ning has also misunderstood this matter. I looked for Zixiu to explain the matter to him, but he was unwilling to believe me. He believes that he’s Eldest Senior Brother’s son…”
“Sister-in-law, I…”
“Alright, you don’t have to say anymore,” Yu Yunxi said, massaging her head with a helpless expression on her face.
“Young Master Liu, please leave first. I have something to discuss with your Eldest Senior Brother,” Yu Yunxi said firmly.
Liu Xiaolan no longer said anything. He sighed silently and turned to look at Feng Yili before he said, “I’m sorry.”
Liu Xiaolan climbed out of the window. After that, he even considerately closed the window behind him. When he turned to leave, he saw two figures, one big and one small, crouching behind a tree.
Luo Xiuran stood up and said through gritted teeth, “You brat, why didn’t you explain this earlier? You caused Yili to be misunderstood and made everyone think he had a son! You even implicated me!”
“I didn’t expect Zixiu to insist that he’s Eldest Senior Brother’s son. He even ran to Consort Dowager Ning and was found by the County Princess,” Liu Xiaolan said, shaking his head with a complicated expression on his face.
The little bun finally reacted. He tugged at Luo Xiuran’s sleeve and asked, “So that child is… not Father’s?”
“That’s right. Your father didn’t let your mother down. You’re his only child,” Luo Xiuran said gently, patting the little bun’s head.
‘Really?’
The little bun’s eyes widened before they slowly turned red as tears began to well up. As it turned out, his father still loved his mother. His father was not a heartless person.
“Father? Mother?” Liu Xiaolan looked at Luo Xiuran and the little bun strangely.
Luo Xiuran looked at the other party coldly and said, “This is the real heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence.”
In the kitchen.
Yu Yunxi asked coldly, “Since he’s not your son, why did you tell your subordinate to stop me from entering the military camp when I went to look for you? However, when Feng Zixiu came, your subordinate not only let him in, but also addressed him as ‘Young Master’.”
“I wasn’t in the military camp at that time. The guards at the entrance were all the Crown Prince’s men,” Feng Yili said with a frown.
‘Feng Weizhou’s men?’
Yu Yunxi’s eyes flashed, and realization dawned on her.
‘Feng Weizhou did it on purpose!’
“I understand if that child doesn’t believe that you’re not his father. However, what about your mother? Why didn’t you explain to your mother that he’s not your child? Do you know that your mother and that child… hurt my son?” Yu Yunxi said, trying her best to stop her voice from trembling when she spoke.
From the way she addressed Consort Dowager Ning as ‘your mother’ and the little bun as ‘my son’, it could be seen that she was very disappointed in Consort Dowager Ning and Feng Yili.
“Feng Zixiu’s master is the Imperial Preceptor. I’ve already explained it to
Mother, but Mother firmly believes the Imperial Preceptor when he said that Feng Zixiu is my son,” Feng Yili said in a low voice, sounding extremely helpless.
‘The Imperial Preceptor again?’
Yu Yunxi’s expression turned cold.
“Back then, the Imperial Preceptor was one of the culprits who harmed us.
However, do you know why he’s still fine? It’s not only because he’s Imperial Brother’s man, but it’s also because he’s the belief of Tianxia. Even Mother believes his words without a doubt,” Feng Yili said in a low voice as he clenched his hands tightly.
Over the past few years, he had always wanted to kill the Imperial Preceptor.
Not only for himself, but also to avenge Yu Yunxi. However, the Imperial Preceptor had a lot of connections. He had only occupied half the chessboard now; the time had not come yet for him to act..
