"Since the head of the family has already made his decision, why are you still standing on Bao Bao's side?" Aju couldn't help but ask.

"To be honest, I haven't explicitly expressed my support for the young master. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here to greet you now. Those who support the young master have all been taken into custody by the patriarch's men. But I believe that someone with an innate poison body must have extraordinary luck. I'm not satisfied with the position of Grand Protector. Only by supporting the young master can I hope to climb higher," the Grand Protector said honestly.

"You mean you're just waiting to reap the rewards without doing anything? Anyway, whether the baby succeeds or not, it will only benefit you and not harm you? You're too calculating," Aju said bluntly after regaining her memory.

The Grand Protector blushed at the words and said awkwardly, "This is just a temporary measure, a temporary measure."

Dongfang Mian wasn't as angry as Aju. On the contrary, what the Great Protector said made Dongfang Mian feel more at ease. The people who are least afraid of are those with ambition. On the contrary, those who are without desires are the hardest to control.

"Don't worry, we're here. As long as you don't betray us, I guarantee you'll have a high position in the elders' council when the baby is in charge," Dongfang Mian said.

"Then I thank Miss Dongfang in advance," the Grand Protector said respectfully, but it was clear that he did not hold much hope for her.

Dongfang Mian didn't care about his thoughts at all; he would know later that he had made the most important decision of his life.

"Which side are the baby's parents on?" Dongfang Mian asked after a moment of silence.

"A-Mian, what are you saying? Of course, the baby's parents are on his side and should be under control by now," A-Ju said, not understanding why Dongfang Mian would waste time asking such a self-evident question.

"They...support the patriarch," the Great Protector said in a low voice, but he didn't think such a choice was so bad. After all, for people like them who had cultivated for countless years, children and family ties were irrelevant. It was just that it didn't sound very nice.

"What!" Ah Ju immediately bristled. Remembering how the little poison child she had protected was abandoned again by his biological parents and even had his heart's blood used as a sacrifice to their ancestors, Ah Ju felt extremely distressed.

"Ah Mian, I can't stand it anymore! Let's go and snatch the little poison child out right now!" Ah Ju shouted.

"Keep your voice down. This matter isn't so simple; it requires careful consideration." Dongfang Mian was also burning with anger, but she still had to consider various objective factors.

"What are you still discussing? Your own son has suffered so much, and you're still calm? Is he even your biological son?!" came Yan Lin's furious voice from behind.

Ahua, who was originally in Yan Lin's arms supervising him to keep him from making a sound, jumped back into Dongfang Mian's arms and said with a wronged look, "Mother, Ahua is stupid, I can't stop her."

"It's alright, Ahua has done a great job," Dongfang Mian patted Ahua, looking at the enraged Yan Lin speechlessly. Was it too late for her to say that the child wasn't his?

Although the baby is not Dongfang Mian's biological child, the two have spent so much time together and gone through so much together. In the baby's heart, Dongfang Mian is completely his biological mother, and the latter also treats the baby like her own child.

"Listen to me, stop yelling..." Right now, the most important thing to do is to shut Yan Lin up.

"That's my son, my son! What's wrong with me yelling? What's wrong with that?!" Yan Lin said angrily.

The Grand Protector was completely dumbfounded. What was going on here?
