The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

Dan Feng pushed Pei Yi in front, and Old Madam Xie and Duke Wei followed closely behind. Xie Zhichan, supporting his mother, also stepped over the threshold.

Xie Zhining was left standing at the door, as if stunned, staring at Pei Yi's back.

She had only heard people praise the Prince of Yan as the most handsome man in the capital before, but unfortunately her circle of friends was limited and the Prince of Yan was often in the military camp, so she had never seen him. Today, she saw him and did not expect that even if Pei Yi was disabled and sat in a wheelchair, his demeanor was incomparable to that of ordinary children of noble families in the capital.

It's just a pity that he became disabled.

But think about it, if she wasn't disabled, it wouldn't be the turn of her elder sister who came back from the farm.

Seeing Xie Zhining in a daze, Aunt Yang pushed her and gave her a warning look, signaling her to hurry up and catch up and not embarrass herself in front of the house.

Then, he stepped into the threshold, holding a little boy of about eleven or twelve years old in his hand.

This boy was none other than Xie Wenchang, the only son of Duke Weiguo and born to Concubine Yang.

Xie Wenchang was not a good student. It was only through the connections of his colleagues in the court that Duke Weiguo managed to get Xie Wenchang into the world-famous Minglu Academy.

However, the academy was built on Qiubai Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. It was not easy to go up and down the mountain. All students lived there and only chose to go home during long holidays.

Recently, the college had a seven-day holiday after the midterm test. Xie Wenchang was so constrained in the academy that he was out of shape. As soon as the holiday started, he rushed home with his servant.

It happened that today his eldest sister brought the prince's brother-in-law back home. He felt that he was the only male in the family after all, and wanted to act like the master of the house. He even chose his clothes specially. However, the prince's brother-in-law humiliated his father as soon as he got off the car. He didn't dare to say a word and just followed his mother closely.

Walking into the hall, although Madam Xie and Duke Weiguo were not as high-ranking as Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan, today was a return banquet, and according to the order of seniority in the family, Madam Xie and Duke Weiguo naturally sat at the head of the table.

Xie's mother sat in the first seat at the lower left, Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi sat next to her, and at the lower right were concubine Yang and her son and daughter.

As soon as they sat down and the maid served tea, they heard Aunt Yang's voice saying, "Now that the prince and Sister Zen are married, do you have any plans for the future?"

Xie Zhichan glanced at Aunt Yang and felt amused. She was really like a dung beetle trying to steal chicken feathers and had forgotten who she was.

Did she really think she was the mistress of the Duke of Wei's mansion? As if she was Xie Zhichan's biological mother, she actually bypassed the Duke of Wei and Old Madam Xie and asked about Pei Yi and her future plans.

What plan could it be?

Isn't it just implying that since Pei Yi is not capable, he has to make plans early for the position of the Crown Prince and the future inheritance rights of the Prince of Yan's Palace.

Pei Yi put down the teacup he had just picked up, with a gentle smile on his face. He looked at Aunt Yang and asked, "Who is this?"

Xie Zhichan chuckled in her heart. She actually liked Pei Yi's bad temper. He would be straightforward and not give any face to anyone he disliked.

Aunt Yang choked, then looked up dimly at Duke Weiguo and Old Madam Xie who were sitting at the top of the table.

Madam Xie coughed, looking a little apologetic, and said, "I forgot to introduce you. This is Aunt Yang, my niece's niece."

Pei Yi raised his eyebrows. This Madam Xie was interesting. Aunt was still aunt, but she insisted on telling him that this was her niece from her mother's side. This was hinting to him that Aunt Yang was also a person of status in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, so he shouldn't be too embarrassed.

He couldn't help but look at Xie Zhichan. He didn't know why Xie Zhichan hadn't taken action yet, considering the chaos in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and her vicious temper of seeking revenge at the Lu Mansion.

Then, he nodded lightly and said, "Oh, it's the concubine from the mansion." He regarded it as a meeting he had received, and had no intention of standing up to perform the etiquette of a junior.

This is what it means to treat Aunt Yang purely as an concubine.

Aunt Yang was extremely upset, but she just smiled slightly in response.

The resentment in his heart towards Xie Zhichan and his daughter over the years suddenly surged left and right, and he could no longer suppress it, so he spilled out of his mouth: "If you ask me, with the prince's current situation, you two should make plans early. I heard that the prince has two uncles who have set up houses in the capital, and the Pei family has countless branches, so there must be a lot of young children. It's better to pick a good one and educate him from childhood. When he grows up, he can inherit the prince's lineage. It must be better than the one who is brought to his side when he is old. There is a family on my mother's side that adopted a child when he was eight years old. My widowed mother raised him with great difficulty, but he is an ungrateful person. He drove my widowed mother out of the house after he got married."

Pei Yi picked up the tea and took a sip while listening, as if he didn't care at all what Aunt Yang said. Only Xie Zhichan keenly noticed that Pei Yi's face must be getting darker and darker, but she didn't intend to stop Aunt Yang.

Today, with Pei Yi as her powerful figure, it is the perfect time for her to take advantage of the tiger's power and make Aunt Yang look bad, and her stepfather doesn't dare to say anything.

Sure enough, Pei Yi put down the teacup and said to Duke Weiguo: "Duke Weiguo is over 40 years old now, right?" His tone seemed to show that he was very concerned about his cheap father-in-law.

Duke Weiguo was flattered and said, "Yes, I didn't realize that Sister Chan has married."

Then Pei Yi said, "There is still no legitimate son, so we should be anxious."

This one sentence choked the Duke of Weiguo on the spot. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to continue the conversation that day.

Xie Zhichan could hardly hold back her laughter and clapped her hands. Little did she know that Master Pei was both good at martial arts and killing enemies on the battlefield, and good at literary arts and talking back to people in the harem.

But seeing that Xie's mother's face was not very good, she thought that she was injured by mistake, so she reached out and held Xie's mother's hand and comforted her: "The prince didn't mean it, mother, please don't mind it."

But at this time, Aunt Yang wanted to take over the conversation. She held her head high and said in a loud voice: "Although the master has no legitimate son, he has Chang'er who can inherit the family business of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion in the future." There were some other things she didn't say, but everyone could tell from her expression and behavior that the only child of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion came from her belly.

Pei Yi glanced at Aunt Yang, then turned back and said to Mother Xie with a smile, "Then it's just right to adopt Chang'er under your mother's name. When he grows up, even if you devote yourself to raising him, I'm afraid he will grow up to be an ungrateful person."

Duke Wei and Xie's mother were somewhat surprised that Pei Yi would say this, but Xie Zhichan praised him repeatedly in his heart: "As expected of a general who fought on the battlefield, this tactic of giving someone a taste of their own medicine is really good!"

Aunt Yang immediately glanced at the Duke of Weiguo and saw that he seemed to be thinking about something, as if he was really considering registering Chang'er under the name of Hang as the legitimate son. She was so scared that she hugged Chang'er and burst into tears: "Master, no! Chang'er is my flesh and blood. I have raised her since she was a child. If you give her to Madam, you are tearing out my heart!"

Xie Zhining was originally proud that Xie Zhichan had married a disabled man and had to rely on adopting a legitimate son to secure her future life, but suddenly the topic turned to adopting her younger brother to her stepmother. She didn't react for a moment until Aunt Yang burst into tears, and then she knelt down to beg her father on behalf of her aunt.

Chang Ge'er was old enough to understand things. He knew why his mother was crying, so he started crying too: "Father, I don't want another woman to be my mother. I want my own mother."

For a moment, the only sound in the hall was the crying of Aunt Yang, her mother and her son, which echoed throughout the sky above the Duke of Wei's mansion.
