Chapter 801: Chapter 802: The Old Man Has More Than One Son

”He was born in the Royal Family, he couldn’t help it.” An Jing sighed, ”Who made it so that the foster father has only one son.”

Xiao Changyi said, ”The old man has more than one son.”

An Jing was startled. ”The foster father has another son?” She had been to the Imperial Palace once and hadn’t seen any other Princes. She also hadn’t heard the Emperor of Xiyun mention any other Princes, so she had always assumed the Emperor of Xiyun only had one son.

”Am I not one?”

”Stop fooling around!” An Jing burst into laughter instantly. ”We’re clearly talking about the foster father’s biological son, while you are an adopted son.”

Only then did Xiao Changyi say, ”The old man had many sons before, but most of them died young, only Chengyu and Su Chengjin grew up. Su Chengjin, born out of wedlock, was born two days earlier than Chengyu, but he was poisoned once and has always been weak. For some unknown reason, the old man dislikes him, never mentions him, and had him move out of the palace early on. I only learned about this son from others.”

”Have you seen him then?”

Xiao Changyi shook his head.

”Next year when we are in the Imperial Capital, shall we go see him?”

Xiao Changyi said, ”He’s not that important, why see him?”

”...Alright, let’s not see him then.” She could tell that among the royal family members, he only cared about the Emperor of Xiyun and Su Chengyu. As for Su Chengjin, he didn’t care at all.

No wonder he felt this way, he had never met Su Chengjin, who was practically a stranger to him.

...

The day after Wang Youbao and Li Wuyu went to the Capital, Gong Juechen came to mooch a meal off An Jing and Xiao Changyi again.

Incidentally, Gong Juechen also complained to An Jing and Xiao Changyi, ”I had planned to go to Youbao’s and Wu Wu’s place to mooch a meal, but when I got there, besides an old housekeeper and a doorkeeper at home, everyone else had gone to the Capital. They didn’t know when Youbao and the others could return, so my trip there was in vain, and I could only come here to mooch a meal.”

Youbao and Wu Wu really broke my heart, considering I gave them such a good book on their wedding night, yet they went to the Capital without even telling me.”

”By the way, what are Youbao and Wu Wu doing taking their whole family to the Capital?” After his complaint, Gong Juechen asked curiously.

”Don’t know, he didn’t say, just mentioned going to the Capital, not knowing when they could return.”

Gong Juechen immediately laughed mischievously, ”Jingjing, that lie you told, might as well have said nothing.”

”Believe it or not.” An Jing was brushing Gong Juechen off before, and these four words were still brushing him off.

Yet Gong Juechen didn’t ask further but nodded continuously and said, ”I believe, I believe, but Jingjing,” he suddenly grinned cheekily with a punchable face, ”You and Changyi aren’t planning to go to the Capital, are you?”

Xiao Changyi remained expressionless.

An Jing clenched her teeth in an instant. Why must this man pretend?! And how did he know all this?!

Gong Juechen didn’t wait for An Jing to respond and continued on his own, ”If you and Changyi were to go to the Capital, then Lanlan and Zhuzhu would definitely follow, and my sister would go with Lanlan, and then I would follow my sister... But I don’t want to go to the Imperial Capital, what should I do?”

An Jing was annoyed, ”If you don’t want to go, then don’t go, no one is forcing you!”

Gong Juechen looked distressed, ”But I promised my master, I won’t separate from my sister, wherever she goes, I go. I have to protect my sister, not let anyone bully her.”
