As they spoke, a chestnut-red steed galloped up, leaving the young man on horseback looking dashing. He wore silver armor with red trim, and a matching silver cloak with red trim was fastened to the front of his cloak and hung down his back, fluttering in the wind.

His alluring eyes bore a resemblance to Wei Caitao's, yet he differed from Wei Caitao's gentle, refined, and otherworldly demeanor. He was like a sharp sword, ready to be drawn at any moment and pierce the clouds, his domineering aura making people dare not look him in the eye.

Wei Tingsi stopped, glanced at Wei Caitao, then turned his cold eyes to Prince Yong. As he looked at Prince Yong, he gracefully dismounted and landed on the ground, his hand on the sword at his waist. He simply lowered his head and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

After saying that, he stood there like an icicle on an ice peak, ignoring everyone.

Seeing his son like this, Wei Caitao trembled with rage, feeling utterly humiliated. He pointed at Wei Tingsi and cried, "You unfilial son!"

Between father and son, the father publicly called his son a rebellious son, and his face turned ashen with anger, as if it were not the first time. Everyone held their breath, including Sun Ganzheng, Xie Yun and others. Wei Tingsi was like a wolf, not to be trifled with.

Upon hearing the voice, Wei Tingsi slowly turned his head, his sharp eyes fixed on Wei Caitao. Wei Caitao instinctively took a step back, his dignified and leisurely demeanor instantly diminishing. Feeling he had lost face after taking that step, he stood back up. "You unfilial son! Why don't you return to the manor!" The grand principles he was about to say choked back upon seeing those eyes.

"Back to the manor? Which manor?" He said it softly, but everyone felt a chill in the air. Some minor officials from low-ranking families hurriedly hid behind others. Lord Wei was eccentric and unpredictable, and he was trusted by the emperor. Without a strong backer, he was not to be trifled with.

“You’ve never been home, and you didn’t even visit your grandfather when he was sick. How can you be so unfilial?” Wei Caitao thought of his father, who was the only one who could control this rebellious son.

Wei Tingsi's face grew even colder, as if his entire body was about to melt into solid ice. He had just returned to the capital and went to see his grandfather, yet this father didn't even know that he had gone to see his grandfather before going to the palace to see the Emperor! What a good father he was!

Publicly accusing his son of being unfilial, among the crowd outside the Meridian Gate, no one but Wei Caitao could stand up for him. Huo Baichuan turned his head and asked Prince Yong in a low voice, "Your Highness, is the man surnamed Wei really the biological father of the favored minister Wei Tingsi?"
