Chapter 198 - Cuckolded?
Zhang Chun took a detour back to his own yard. He didn't expect to hear the two young men whispering in a corner.
“Wow, it must be a secret to talk in such a remote place.” Zhang Chun walked over quietly and hid behind a tree to eavesdrop.
“Zhong, are you really going to tell young master?”
“Of course. young master saved my life and cured my mother. If I don't tell him, I will feel uneasy.”
“But… the steward has instructed me not to tell young master. We have to wait for His Highness to come back and make the decision.”
“I don't care. When His Highness comes back, maybe that woman and child will be sent away and hidden. When that happens, young master will be kept in the dark. If something happens in the future, he will be even more sad.”
“Even so, but… Sigh, if the butler finds out, he will lose his life. At the very least, he will be chased out of the Crown Prince's Palace.”
The man named Zhong gritted his teeth and said firmly, “That is better than not wanting to repay kindness with gratitude!”
Zhang Chun was confused by what he heard, but he could still hear the main point. It was that woman and child. Moreover, they should have some relationship with Tang Yue, or rather, with Tang Yue's man.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chun's expression immediately changed. Could it be that… Crown Prince Zhao cuckolded Tang Yue?
This was not bad!
Without waiting for the two servants to come to an agreement, Zhang Chun ran back first and stood in front of Tang Yue, panting heavily.
The small carriage in Tang Yue's hand had already begun to take shape. The wheels were also installed. When Zhang Chun came back, he was not surprised. Instead, he asked him: “What color do you think this car is painted in? Is it red or black?”
Zhang Chun was not in the mood to answer his question. He sat down opposite Tang Yue with a sad look on his face.
Tang Yue saw that something was wrong with him. He put down the thing in his hand and asked, “What's wrong?” He looked like his parents had died.
Zhang Chun shook his head. “I definitely didn't look like this when my parents were dead.”
“What happened?”
“Brother Tang…” Zhang Chun hesitated and asked carefully, “What would happen if you found out that your man had an affair one day?”
Tang Yue narrowed his eyes. “Sneak? If it is his wish, he will not be able to bear it.”
“Well… I think you'd better go and take a look. But don't be impulsive. I only heard one or two sentences. It might be a misunderstanding.”
“Take a look at what?” Tang Yue had a bad feeling.
Zhang Chun leaned close to his ear and whispered what he heard to him. “That's all. I'm just guessing randomly. Don't blame me if you make a mistake.”
Tang Yue's expression changed again and again. In the end, he calmed down, which made Zhang Chun's heart palpitate.
“Oh, I know.” Tang Yue did not leave after he finished speaking. Instead, he continued to pick up the unfinished car and continue sculpting.
“That's it?” Zhang Chun was stunned by his reaction. Shouldn't normal people fly into a rage when they heard this news and rush out to find the truth?
“Then what else do you want? You want me to go and find trouble with that woman like a shrew? Kill her and that child? Or throw them out?”
“Then you don't care?”
Tang Yue stopped and sighed. “They are not my women or my children. It is none of my business.”
“Tut…” Zhang Chun knew he did not mean it. But he was right. It was not wise to rush out at this time.
However, after knowing about this matter, Zhang Chun did not leave. He stayed in the courtyard with Tang Yue. Two is better than one.
Tang Yue lowered his head and muttered to himself. What should come had come.
Crown Prince Zhao had told him about this arrangement before. In order to solve the important problem of having children, Crown Prince Zhao's arrangement was the most respectful to him.
On the other side, after Crown Prince Zhao received the news, he rushed back without stopping.
When he returned to the manor, he did not go to see the child immediately. Instead, he went straight to the backyard and found Tang Yue.
Zhang Chun curled his lips and snorted coldly. He could no longer bow and sat in his seat without moving.
Crown Prince Zhao completely ignored him. He squatted down and held Tang Yue's hand. “Let's go and take a look. If you are not satisfied, we will look for him again.”
Tang Yue let out a long breath. He put down his things and stood up. He said to Zhang Chun, who was stunned, “Go back. Don't forget to fuck.”
Zhang Chun was not stupid. Although Crown Prince Zhao's words were short and did not give any clear instructions, he still imagined a play for himself.
When he had a rough idea of what was going on, he curled his lips and said, “Alright, I'm the one meddling in the business.”
In the study room in the backyard, Tang Yue and Tang Yue saw the woman carrying the baby. Their eyes swept over the woman and stopped on the child's face.
The woman had never seen such an important person. She was so scared that she knelt on the ground. The baby in her arms woke up and cried again.
“Get up and bring the baby over.” Crown Prince Zhao ordered.
The woman did not get up. She knelt down and moved over. She raised the child with both hands. Her eyes were filled with tears. She sobbed and said, “I hope Crown Prince can take pity on my young master and ensure that he grows up safely.”
Crown Prince Zhao had never carried such a young child before. He did not even dare to stretch out his hand. It was Tang Yue who took the child and gently patted him to stop crying.
“Is this the child of General Luo?” Crown Prince Zhao asked in a deep voice. Tang Yue raised his head in surprise and looked at Crown Prince Zhao.
He thought the child was just an ordinary citizen and was originally the son of a general. How could such an identity be sent to him?
“Yes. Ever since the general died on the battlefield, Madam has been depressed. When she gave birth to the young master, it was difficult for her to give birth and she died of blood collapse. She only left this trace of blood. Before she died, Madam told me about the young master's arrangements and asked me to bring the child to Ye City to find Crown Prince. She also left a jade hook as a token.”
Crown Prince Zhao had seen the token and it was indeed left by him. There was a faint trace of General Luo between the eyebrows of this child's eyes. Presumably, it was not wrong.
“Then what is your identity?”
“I was originally the wife's maid, and was later bestowed with serving the general.”
In other words, this woman was that so-called General Luo's concubine.
“Then from now on, you can change your name to Yangu and become Young Master's wet nurse.”
The woman raised her head in joy and kowtowed three times, “Thank you for your grace, Your Highness!”
Tang Yue could tell that this woman was kind-hearted and was genuinely good to the child. Otherwise, the child would not have grown white and fat after the long journey.
However, he was a little surprised by Crown Prince Zhao's decision. Was it really good to keep a woman who knew the child's background by his side?
Crown Prince Zhao called for the butler to come in and asked him to clean up the courtyard in the west. As the child's residence, he also called four servants and eight guards to serve him. His treatment was comparable to his own son's.
Naturally, the butler did not know what was going on here. He looked at Tang Yue, then at the woman and the child. The corner of his mouth moved, but he did not say anything.
Wait! When the outsiders left, only Tang Yue and Crown Prince Zhao were left in the study room.
Crown Prince Zhao held Tang Yue's hand and brought him to his side. He wrapped his arms around his waist and told him, “General Luo was originally a civilian. His parents and clansmen died in the war. He performed well after joining the army and performed many outstanding feats. As a result, he was promoted very quickly.
The year before last, when he was thirty years old and had yet to get married, I found a well-educated family for him to marry. I did not expect that he would die on the battlefield after only half a year of marriage.
His last words before his death were to ask me to help take care of his wife. “At that time, he did not know that his wife was pregnant and I did not expect that Madam Luo would die in childbirth.”
“According to Crown Prince Zhao's arrangement, he originally wanted to bring Madam Luo to the Crown Prince's Palace and live in the residence under the name of his concubine. Naturally, that child would naturally become his child.”
In any case, a concubine who lived in seclusion would not see outsiders and would not be afraid of being exposed.
“Initially, I wanted to bring her back to Ye City, but she was pregnant and was not in a good condition. Secondly, I was seriously injured and the enemy assassinated me in secret, so I left her at the border and said that I would come back to Ye City after the child was born.”
“Did Your Highness think of putting her in the backyard at that time?”
“Of course not!” Crown Prince Zhao held Tang Yue's hand tightly and looked up at him. “I didn't see you at that time, and I didn't know I would marry a man. How could I have a child from another family?”
In the end, this arrangement was also to solve their pressing problem.
Otherwise, Crown Prince Zhao would never let someone else's child take his surname.
Tang Yue calmed down and leaned against Crown Prince Zhao. “Since things have come to this, let's give the child a name first.”
“I'll give you this right. You do it.” Crown Prince Zhao pushed him away and placed the paper, ink, and ink on the table.
Tang Yue did not want to give up. He thought for a while and wrote three words: Li Luoyuan.
“Let's call him Luoyuan.”
“Good.”
“Will the royal family admit it?” Wang Yao asked. Tang Yue was a little uncertain. Logically speaking, the son of the crown prince was still the eldest son. The king would probably interfere.
“Don't worry, I have a solution.”
Tang Yue thought about it. When Crown Prince Zhao had thought of this, it was impossible for him not to think about what would happen next.
