“From today onward, I’ll go wherever they go. Since Mother likes the residence so much, you can have it,” Feng Yili said expressionlessly.
“You! Are you trying to anger me to death? You’re going to abandon your mother for a woman?!” Consort Dowager Ning asked indignantly as she clutched her chest.
“You didn’t raise me. My feelings for you aren’t strong, to begin with. Moreover, if you respected Yunxi, I would’ve respected you as well. However, you didn’t,” Feng Yili said. His gaze was extremely different as he looked at Consort Dowager Ning. It was as though he was looking at a stranger.
‘Hmm? Based on his words, it seems like his relationship with his mother has never been good? It seems like there are still many things about him that I don’t know.’ Yu Yunxi’s gaze darkened slightly when she heard Feng Yili’s words.
“Yili, I admit that I was wrong in the past. However, Zixiu is your flesh and blood. Are you really going to abandon your flesh and blood for outsiders?” Consort Dowager Ning said anxiously as she pushed Feng Zixiu to stand in front of Feng Yili. She hoped to change Feng Yili’s mind with Feng Zixiu.
However, Feng Yili did not even spare a glance at Feng Zixiu. He said to Consort Dowager Ning stonily, “I’ve told you many times that Feng Zixiu is not my child. If you want to raise a puppet by my side, I advise you to give up.”
‘A puppet? What does Father mean?’
The little bun, who was listening attentively, tugged at Yu Yunxi’s sleeve.
Yu Yunxi’s expression was solemn at this moment. Based on Feng Yili’s words, it seemed like Consort Dowager Ning wanted to control Feng Yili but was unable to. As such, she hoped to use a puppet, which was Feng Zixiu in this case, to control Feng Yili. Goosebumps erupted on her flesh when she thought about this. If her speculation was true, then Consort Dowager Ning was too terrifying. No wonder Consort Dowager Ning disliked her so much. After all, Consort Dowager Ning could not control her.
“Yili! What nonsense are you spouting? Everything I do is for your good!” Consort Dowager hurriedly said, but she could not hide the traces of panic in her gaze.
“Mother, if you want to raise him, then raise him by all means. However, I won’t have anything to do with it. In a few days, his biological parents will be coming to pick him up,” Feng Yili said coldly.
Feng Zixiu gulped, and his eyes were red.
‘Biological parents? So I’m not Father’s son? I’m not the heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence?’
“Also, Yunxi and Junjin aren’t outsiders. They’re my wife and son,” Feng Yili continued to say. With this, his voice finally had some warmth.
“Don’t be stupid, Yili. It’s fine if you’re angry with me, but how can you raise someone else’s son? Isn’t this little bast*rd the son of the heir of the King of Xinan’s Residence? Don’t… don’t tell me this little bast*rd is his and Yu Yunxi’s son?”
With this, Consort Dowager Ning began to speculate wildly about Yu Yunxi’s relationship with Shen Hezhi.
‘She’s hopeless…’
Feng Yili was utterly disappointed when he heard Consort Dowager Ning’s words. He said icily, “Guards, send the Consort Dowager back. Without my order, she’s not allowed to step out of the residence.” ‘He’s going to ground me?’
“This is treason!” Consort Dowager Ning screamed.
“So what?” Feng Yili did not even bother to be polite anymore.
Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan could not wait to make a move. After all, Consort Dowager Ning had truly gone too far. It was not easy for Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi to reconcile so they did not want Consort Dowager Ning to ruin it.
Just as the two men pulled Consort Dowager Ning away, Yu Yunxi suddenly said, “Wait a minute.”
“What? Don’t tell me you’re going to apologize for Yili’s sake?”
Consort Dowager Ning scoffed. She thought that Yu Yunxi was embarrassed and wanted to apologize. She even thought about how she was going to reject Yu Yunxi’s apology. Alas, she waited for a long time, but she did not receive an apology.
Instead, Consort Dowager Ning watched as Yu Yunxi asked Qiaon Jiao to bring a basin of water over to clean the little bun’s face. When the little bun’s face was finally revealed…
“This, this…”
Consort Dowager Ning froze. It was as though she had been struck by lightning.
The maidservant behind Consort Dowager Ning said excitedly, “Consort
Dowager, this child looks exactly like His Royal Highness when he was young!” “That’s right. I still remember what His Roval Hizhness looked like when he was young! He’s exactly like His Royal Highness!”
“Previously, he didn’t look like this…”
“Does this mean he’s really His Royal Highness’ biological son?”
Consort Dowager Ning was pulled back to her senses by her maidservants’ words. She asked anxiously with a slight tremble in her voice, “W-what’s going on? Tell me!”
“Feng Yili is Junjin’s biological father,” Yu Yunxi said expressionlessly.
Consort Dowager Ning’s emotions were in turmoil. She could not even speak coherently as she said, “Junjin? Junjin, Junjin, come here… I’m your grandmother!”
Consort Dowager waved at the little bun. Her attitude was a complete change from before.
However, Yu Yunxi and the little bun’s expressions were extremely cold.
Yu Yunxi said, “Consort Dowager, the reason I want you to know this isn’t because I want your recognition. I just want you to know that Junjin’s background is clean, and no one has the right to insult him. If there’s a next time, I won’t show you any mercy!”
“Yunxi, I was wrong. I, I didn’t know he’s Yili’s child,” Consort Dowager Ning said as she shook her head repeatedly, panicking.
Consort Dowager Ning wanted to explain, but Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan did not give her a chance. They quickly brought her away and sent her back to the Prince Regent’s Residence.
Meanwhile, Feng Zixiu stood rooted to the ground in a daze. When he returned to his senses, he clenched his hands tightly, looking extremely ashamed. Then, he quickly ran out to chase after Consort Dowager Ning.
‘Grandmother said that I was the heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence! It doesn’t matter if Father acknowledges me or not. It’s fine as long as
Grandmother acknowledges me! I must be the heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence!’
Feng Zixiu was already used to the kind of life where everyone served him. He did not want to go back to cultivate and live a bitter life with his grandmaster anymore.
Yu Yunxi looked at Feng Yili from the corners of her eyes and asked in a low voice, “Are you angry? Your mother apologized, but I still spoke to her so harshly.”
“No. Everyone should pay the price for their actions. It’s just like how I was punished for not finding you for so many years,” Feng Yili said seriously.
Yu Yunxi was slightly stunned. She did not expect him to be so clear-cut in this matter.
Suddenly, the bun exclaimed loudly, “Oh, no!”
Everyone turned around and saw that the kitchen was on tire!
