Every time I wear it quickly, there are always big guys giving it away.

Chapter 329: The Ex-fiancée in the Break-off and Upgrade Flow 56

Xi Changkong walked around the long corridor, pushed the door open and walked in, calling softly, "Mother."

Zhou leaned comfortably on the soft couch while the maids massaged her shoulders, pounded her legs, applied nail polish and read scriptures, all in an orderly manner.

Now is the critical time for Dankou to dye. Zhou opened her eyes happily without moving too much. Her concerned eyes turned around her son: "Why are you here? The banquet is about to start. It's just the right time for you to go over now!"

Xi Changkong cupped his hands and said, "I heard that my mother was ill, so I came to visit her first to feel at ease."

"I accidentally caught a cold a few days ago. After taking a few doses of medicine, I'm almost recovered. I just need to rest for a few more days. It's not a big deal." Her son missed his mother and took care of himself first as soon as he came back. As a mother, Zhou was very pleased and touched, but she couldn't help worrying that her son had lost his manners because of this.

"As for your father, all the clan members have gathered together, and the eldest and second oldest have returned early..."

As soon as they came back, these two people showed their courtesy and hospitality. Today they showed up at the banquet early, running around. Everyone praised them: They are so filial!

"My two brothers are worthy of being my father's right-hand men. I am ashamed for coming so late." Xi Changkong has been a brother to those two for many years and knows very well that they are the kind of people who will not do anything without benefits.

However, he could not discuss the right and wrong of his two brothers with Zhou in front of the maids. He came back this time just to live a peaceful life and did not want to create any trouble.

"You, you don't know how to fight for anything other than Chen's—"

Zhou was very disappointed with his son, whom he had high hopes for, but he had no intention of winning over his father to gain more benefits. All he thought about was his wife, children and a happy bed.

Speaking of children, Zhou became upset again. Her son had been married to Chen for eight years, but he still had no children. No mother could tolerate this!

"You go to the banquet first, and then..." Zhou changed her mind and said, "We will talk about it tomorrow."

No matter what, the son should have someone to carry on his legacy. If Chen is not capable, then don't delay the son!

She didn't even think about the possibility that her son might not be able to do it, she only believed that it was Chen's fault.

Over the years, she and Chen have always had a lukewarm relationship. All the conflicts, big and small, were resolved calmly by her, the eldest son, which made all her plans go down the drain!

Xi Changkong nodded, "Tomorrow, I will also have something to say to mother."

The two of them met by chance.

******

After three rounds of drinks, the music of stringed instruments and the actors dancing with their sleeves waving brought the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax.

King Xi was no longer in his prime, and his eyesight was not very good. He squinted his eyes to enjoy the dance, and chatted and drank with the elders next to him.

The actors who were able to perform in the palace had soft and charming figures and were all good-looking.

The Second Young Master looked at him intently, and it was clear what he was planning.

The prince had a gentle smile on his face, and even his glance was casual.

The elder looked at him, put down his wine glass, cleared his throat and said, "The three young masters have been married for several years. Two of them now have children around them and their lives are happy. But the third young master still has no children, which makes us in the tribe extremely worried—"

"Oh, so the elders care about me so much?" Xi Changkong raised his eyebrows, his tone surprised.

"Of course." The elder puffed out his chest confidently. Perhaps the few glasses of wine he drank gave him courage he didn't normally have. "Today, in front of your father, I will tell you my considerations."

Hearing this topic, the drunken King Xi became a little sober. He couldn't help but sit up straight and urged excitedly: "Third Uncle, tell me quickly!"

Could it be that my third uncle has got some secret recipe for having a child?

In fact, the issue of the third brother's offspring and his stubbornness gave King Xi a headache.

In the past few years, Zhou or the Crown Prince's wife had sent several waves of young and fertile women, whose appearance and character were all selected according to Chen.

The third brother accepted everyone who came and brought them back to Longquan.

Everyone thought that he had come to his senses and realized how important having offspring was.

I didn't expect this guy to be so stubborn that he didn't keep the items in his own room after taking them back, but distributed them to the soldiers in the army. This is really speechless!

Now, Zhou or anyone else dared not to put anyone in his room, otherwise it would only benefit the rough guys under the Third Brother!

The elder stroked his white beard, whetting everyone's appetite, and spoke confidently: "Why not adopt a child from the eldest son? You two brothers have a deep affection for each other, and the eldest son will surely agree."

The eldest son has three legitimate sons and five or six illegitimate children. It would be most appropriate to adopt a child from him.

After all, good things should be kept within the family!

The clan elder was very proud and felt that the eldest son's previous worries were a piece of cake. He watched him resolve the brothers' worries through chatting and laughing.

King Xi's expression changed from surprise and hesitation at first to sudden realization later. Thinking about it carefully, the elder's suggestion still has merit.

Before the King of Xi could make his decision, the Second Young Master could not wait to pat his chest and assure him: "Lang Ge'er and Xi Jie'er are both good children. If the Third Brother wants to adopt them, I, as the Second Brother, am willing to give them up!"

Even the eldest brother is tempted by the third brother's assets, so what's wrong with him, the second brother, coveting them a little?

Langge'er is very young, but his weight is equal to two or three people of the same age. However, he is spoiled and has been raised lawless by the concubine. Xijie'er is the legitimate daughter, and she just celebrated her first birthday a few days ago. The second wife treats her like a treasure and usually takes her by her side to educate her.

Neither of them is the best candidate for adoption.

Everyone has eyes, and after thinking it over, they realized that the right candidate can only be chosen from among the prince's children.

"Second brother, please stop making trouble!" King Xi waved his hand at him. Family members know their own business. If one of the second brother's two children was given away, it would not be mutually beneficial, but would create resentment.

"Humph--"

The second young master turned his head away unhappily and continued to appreciate the actors' stunning dancing. Fortunately, the second lady was not here, otherwise she would have taught him what to say and what not to say.

This was the original idea.

Xi Changkong put down his wine glass, chuckled slowly, and said, "Thank you for your concern. I have always believed that offspring are destined by fate. Now, the fate has come--"

The hot air condensed in an instant, and a fact that was about to come out exploded in everyone's ears. Some people couldn't believe it, some felt lost, and some had stiff faces.

King Xi put aside his worries and smiled heartily: "It is indeed the fate that has come!"

"This is really... a great joyous event... Congratulations... Congratulations..."

The clan elder was so sad that he could not even cry. This was completely different from what he had imagined!

Second Young Master: Oh no, eldest brother’s plan has failed!

What's going on with this inexplicable feeling of pleasure?

The second young master tried hard to flatten the corners of his mouth. Although he stood on the side of the eldest brother, it did not mean that he was willing to watch his brothers enjoy the good life while he himself did not get any benefit at all!
