Yu Qinwangfei waited anxiously in her room. She paced back and forth, utterly nervous.
On the one hand, she believed that the child must be their own son, on the other hand, she was worried about what she should do if he wasn't.
It was unknown how long had passed. At this time, the sky was completely dark, lanterns were hung on the porch, and oil lamps were also placed in the rooms.
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from outside, Yu Qinwangfei couldn't wait to go to the door, but before she could reach it, the door was pushed open and Yu Qinwang came in.
Yu Qinwangfei's expectant eyes fell on his face and there was a tremor in her voice, "How is it? It's our baby, isn't it?"
Yu Qinwang's eyes were gentle, and he didn't immediately deny it.
Yu Qinwangfei's heart immediately fell back into place, "I knew it! I knew it! Our son didn't die... He came back alive... He was saved by a kind person... I... I..."
At the end of her speech, she was so overcome with emotion that she covered her face and began to cry.
Ming'er, who was suddenly awakened by her, opened his eyes and looked at her in a daze, "Mother, what's wrong?"
Yu Qinwangfei wiped her tears, but couldn't stop them from falling at all. These were not tears of sadness, but tears of joy.
“Ming'er… Ming'er!” Yu Qinwangfei excitedly hugged Ming'er into her arms. Because of her intense emotions, she hugged her a little tightly and hurt Ming'er a bit.
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry." Yu Qinwangfei quickly released him.
Everything happened so fast that Yu Qinwangfei still felt a sense of unreality.
As for whether to hide it from Ming'er or not, Yu Qinwangfei thought it was better not to hide it. Ming'er was also her child. Even though he didn't come out of her belly, she still painstakingly brought him up.
The fact that they were mother and son would never change.
Of course, to say that she wasn’t worried whether Ming'er could accept it or not was false.
After all, Ming'er was no ordinary child. He seemed to be easy to get along with, but he was extremely competitive. He couldn’t tolerate himself being worse than others, otherwise he would suddenly become grumpy, just like he was in the palace today.
Yu Qinwangfei wasn’t sure whether Ming'er would accept a child smarter than him as his younger brother.
After some hesitation, she told him anyway.
“Ming'er, you actually have a younger brother. Four years ago, mother gave birth to him. Mother thought that he had passed away... until a few days ago, mother ran into him again...”
Yu Qinwangfei made her tone and words as considerate as possible, so that Ming'er could understand and accept this fact.
Ming'er only remembered his parents going out on a trip for a year when he was four years old, but he didn’t know what happened to them that year.
So he had a younger brother.
This really was...amazing.
Accustomed to being the youngest son at home, he suddenly became the older brother. It was such a huge psychological gap.
This meant that from now on, he was no longer the one held in the palm of his parents’ hand, but his younger brother.
Just like how his older siblings gave way to him, he would also give way to his younger brother along with his older siblings from now on.
His mother's embrace was also no longer his alone.
Not only could his younger brother be held in his mother’s arms, but also sleep with her.
He too slept with his mother when he was four years old.
"Then... who is my younger brother?" He asked nervously.
Obviously, he already had some kind of guess in his mind as that scene that hurt his heart kept flashing through his mind. He shouted desperately in his heart, no, not him!
“You've seen him." Yu Qinwangfei cupped Ming'er's face and said softly.
The string within Ming'er's heart snapped.
Aside from that hateful little bun, there was no other four-year-old child he had met in the State of Zhao.
Why him?
Yu Qinwangfei didn't try to avoid the contradiction between them. She said firmly, "Mother knows that there is a misunderstanding between you two, but you are a very good child. Mother believes that one day he will find you good, and you will find him good."
That was a more polite way of putting it. If she blindly said, "He will be a good younger brother, you'll understand it after you get along with him for a while.", Ming'er would be even more filled with dislike and jealousy.
But instead, Yu Qinwangfei spent a while saying that the other party would also perceive Ming'er's goodness, which made Ming'er feel he was valuable.
At least he no longer thought that his mother would stop loving him even if he had a younger brother.
However, there was still a hurdle he couldn't get over in his heart.
How could he lose to a little bun like him?
So infuriating!
On the other hand, after Minister Xu picked up his grandson who just caused trouble, he sent the servant boy who usually took care of his grandson to the medical hall to inform Little Jing Kong's family.
The Xu Family’s servant boy didn’t know the address of Little Jing Kong's family, and only knew that the three of them often played in the medical hall, and that Little Jing Kong's older sister seemed to be a medicine girl of the medical hall.
The servant boy’s horse was naturally not as fast as Marquis Xuanping Estate's horses, as a result, he was intercepted by Marquis Xuanping halfway.
"All right, you can go back." Marquis Xuanping said simply.
The Xu Family’s servant boy looked at Marquis Xuanping, then at Little Jing Kong who was sitting next to Marquis Xuanping while holding snacks in both hands and eating nonstop. He was so surprised that you could almost put an egg in his gaped mouth.
What was going on?
Right, right, that’s it... Perhaps… the Crown Princess asked Marquis Xuanping to take care of this matter personally?
The Xu Family's servant boy dared not guess that Little Jing Kong's family could be related to Marquis Xuanping Estate. Compared with this, he would rather believe that it was the people from the East Palace who asked Marquis Xuanping to come to the other party’s door and teach the child's family a lesson.
But this kid was also something else, wasn’t he?
He still dared to eat around Marquis Xuanping?
Little Jing Kong not only ate, but also habitually handed his mouth over after eating.
Here, wipe it.
Just when the servant boy thought Marquis Xuanping would slap him, he saw Marquis Xuanping casually pick up a clean white handkerchief and wipe Little Jing Kong's mouth with it.
The Xu Family's servant boy: Am I stupid or am I blind?
Little Jing Kong finished eating and had a little burp. He looked especially cute with his short legs swaying.
In his younger years, Marquis Xuanping spent many years away from home fighting battles or training in the military camp. He didn't spend much time with his son, and before he knew it, he had already grown up.
After living together for a long time, it was easy for people to pick up each other’s scent and even habits.
Little Jing Kong naturally had some of the habits of the current Xiao Liulang, such as the way he frowned and that disapproving chuckle.
But these were Xiao Liulang's habits, not Xiao Heng's.
There was no trace of Xiao Heng on Xiao Liulang, not even a bit.
This made Marquis Xuanping occasionally wonder, was he just overthinking? Xiao Liulang was his illegitimate child with Chen Yunniang, not Xiao Heng, not his di son.
Marquis Xuanping's thoughts drifted away when a small head suddenly hit him.
It was Little Jing Kong who had fallen asleep.
Marquis Xuanping went straight to the Imperial Academy and waited outside the Imperial Academy for a long time before Xiao Liulang came out.
He got off the carriage with Little Jing Kong in his arms.
