Marquis Xuanping thought it over, and he would tell Xiao Liulang this, ‘Your brother-in-law has a good qualification. This Marquis intends to accept him as a disciple.’ This way, he could successfully break into the enemy's… no… his son’s interior.
Whether he was a di son or a concubine’s son, flaws would inevitably be revealed over a long period of time.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Liulang just gave Marquis Xuanping a cold look, and without saying a word, he took Little Jing Kong from his arms and left.
He didn’t even give Marquis Xuanping a chance to act shameless.
Marquis Xuanping's teeth itched with anger.
"If this great one finds out that this character you’re showing me isn’t really your true character, this great one will surely chop you up into pieces!"
Marquis Xuanping looked gentle on the outside, but inside, like most generals, he had a twisted temper. If he was really an illegitimate child… To be honest, he still believed he was the real one!
"Humph!"
Marquis Xuanping got onto the carriage with a black face.
……
The next day, the envoys of the State of Liang suddenly called a halt to the negotiations, saying that they would reorganize for a day and talk again the next day.
The officials of the State of Zhao were surprised, but when they thought of Yu Qinwang's son being beaten up by His Seventh Highness and his little classmates, they understood.
Yu Qinwang was angry.
The Zhao’s officials really misunderstood Yu Qinwang. He was well aware of his own son's character. He was the one who started the fight, so it was no wonder he was beaten up.
The reason why Yu Qinwang didn't go on with the negotiation today was to accompany Yu Qinwangfei to the medical hall.
"Be polite to others later, she adopted our son... Ming'er's illness was also cured by her..." Yu Qinwangfei told Yu Qinwang before getting off the carriage.
Yu Qinwang nodded again and again, "I remember everything you said. Don't worry, I won't bully a little girl."
Yu Qinwangfei thought about it for a while, but still felt uneasy. She warned, "You are not allowed to throw unkind expressions at people."
"Okay." Yu Qinwang reluctantly replied, "But there's something I have to tell you."
"What is it?" Yu Qinwangfei looked at her.
Yu Qinwang said, "If we tell them straight away that Jing Kong is our son upon our meeting, I'm afraid they won't believe us. After all, we can't produce conclusive evidence. How about we say for now that we’re looking to adopt him as our son?"
Yu Qinwangfei thought it wasn’t necessary to go to such trouble. Her son was hers. What proof did she have to produce? With her status as the State of Liang’s Wangfei, did she have to stoop so low to cheat others?
Yu Qinwang added, "Listen to me. This is not the State of Liang. The relationship between the two sides is inherently tense, and we can not easily win the trust of people here."
Seeing that what he said was quite true, Yu Qinwangfei hesitated for a moment before nodding her head, "All right, I'll listen to you. When we get back to the State of Liang…"
Yu Qinwang said quickly, "We’ll announce it to the world immediately. Your and my own son, Yu Die, will be recorded in the genealogy! We’ll also bring him to visit the Emperor!"
Yu Qinwangfei then smiled.
The two people entered the medical hall.
Second Owner had met Yu Qinwangfei before. When he saw that she didn't bring the high-and-mighty attendant, he politely bowed and cupped his hands, "Madame, you're here, and this is..."
"My husband.” Introduced Yu Qinwangfei with a warm voice.
Second Owner saluted the other party, looked around them and asked, "Your son didn’t come along? How's he doing? Did he get any better?"
Yu Qinwangfei nodded, "Much better. He doesn't cough much anymore. He's at home. Excuse me ... Is Young Miss Gu here?"
Second Owner replied, "Yes, she should be almost done with her business. Please wait a moment, I'll go and have a look."
Gu Jiao was giving Jiang Shi another infusion in his room. When Gu Jiao heard Second Owner report that the Madame was here, for a moment she didn't know which Madame it was and tried to recall.
Second Owner helped her remember, "Her son is ten years old, the one with a bad cough. She came with her husband this time, I guess she wants to thank you with a gift just like with others before."
It wasn’t that this kind of situation had never happened before, so Second Owner was very calm.
Gu Jiao also thought that the other party was here to thank her, but only after seeing them did she know that the other party was here to rob her of someone.
Since Yu Qinwangfei proposed to find a place where they could discuss things, Gu Jiao took them into her small courtyard.
At the moment, the three of them were sitting in the drawing room of the small courtyard, and the atmosphere was horribly quiet.
Yu Qinwang had met countless people and knew not to judge a book by its cover, so he didn't pay any special attention to Gu Jiao's appearance.
But he vaguely felt that the aura of this little girl was different from that of her peers.
Yu Qinwangfei broke the ice, "Young Miss Gu, I know it's a bit abrupt for me to say this, but I really hope I can meet your parents and discuss Little Jing Kong with them. We sincerely want to adopt Little Jing Kong as our son."
Gu Jiao: "The kind of adoption that he won't be taken away?"
Yu Qinwangfei choked up, "We, we want to take him back."
Gu Jiao didn't even ask where they were taking him back as she quickly rebuffed, "Impossible."
Yu Qinwangfei's face turned white, "Young Miss Gu..."
Gu Jiao interrupted her, "There's nothing more to discuss. I won't send Jing Kong away. If you really like him, and he likes you too, you can come and see him."
That's right, provided Little Jing Kong liked them.
She would never wrong Little Jing Kong.
"If there’s nothing else, please go back."
Gu Jiao gave the eviction order.
Yu Qinwang was so stupefied that he didn't even get a single word in. It wasn't until Gu Jiao got up to leave that he regained his senses and asked, “You… won't ask who we are?"
Gu Jiao looked at him coldly, "Whoever you are, you can just forget about it!"
"Young Miss Gu!" Yu Qinwangfei abruptly rose to her feet. Yu Qinwang tried to stop her but couldn't, she took a few steps forward and said to Gu Jiao, "Jing Kong is our son! We are his parents!"
Gu Jiao paused, turned back and said, "The people who left him in the temple deserve to be his parents too?"
Yu Qinwangfei burst into tears, "It's not like that... Young Miss Gu, please listen to my explanation... We didn't leave him on purpose... We thought he died..."
"Is that so?" Gu Jiao's eyes rested on Yu Qinwang's face.
This woman didn’t look like she was faking it, but the man's expression was very calm from beginning to end.
Yu Qinwang calmly met Gu Jiao’s scrutiny, but Yu Qinwangfei on the side was so emotional that she passed out due to shortness of breath.
Yu Qinwang was quick to hold her.
Gu Jiao reached out to check her pulse then let her hand go.
It was nothing serious, and it wasn’t an act. She really fainted.
Yu Qinwang hugged his wife in his arms, and the gentleness he showed while in front of his wife could no longer be seen at this moment. He looked at Gu Jiao and said, "How much is it? Make an offer. Don't take the hard way, little girl. You are still young, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. If I want to get someone, no one in your whole capital can prevent me from getting them!"
Gu Jiao: "Then, try it."
Yu Qinwang gave Gu Jiao a cold look before leaving the medical hall with his wife in his arms.
That night, Yu Qinwang's confidant went to the palace to convey to the Emperor his own Wangye’s meaning—— The State of Liang could make concessions on the contents of the peace talks, on the condition that a child would be handed to them.
