Will the adopted child really treat Huo Yifan as his biological father if he has a biological father and mother? Will he really not wait for Huo Yifan to die and then take the family property he earned to recognize his biological parents?
Yan Cheng was still curious whether Huo Yifan was really so affectionate and unrepentant, and only loved one person?
In this era, having three wives and four concubines was legal. Huo Yifan only vowed not to marry, not to take concubines. Maybe he did not marry, but he had many concubines in the backyard.
Even though his father and mother had such a good relationship, his father had several concubines in his backyard in his early years, which were placed there by Old Lady Yan.
However, those concubines did not give birth to children, so when the family arrived in Yulin Prefecture, his mother found a way to get rid of them.
Then his father didn't get angry, and told his mother that he had a son to carry on his bloodline, so he didn't need to take a concubine in the future.
I have to say that his mother's methods are really powerful.
Hmm...
Thinking too far ahead.
His inquiring gaze crossed the street and fell on the tightly closed window. Yan Cheng had never expected that a small Mingzhu Pavilion would attract Huo Yita.
This person is not easy to appease.
So can his plan still be implemented?
"Master, Huo Yitai has been married for many years and has only one son. That son is for him to carry on the family line, so how can he be adopted by Huo Yifan?"
Leng Yan didn't know whether Huo Yitai had adopted his son to Huo Yifan, so he asked a secret guard who listened to all kinds of gossip all day to answer Yan Cheng's question.
"After many years of marriage, they only have one son?" Yan Cheng looked curious, "So Huo Yitai didn't take a concubine?"
"Yes, Huo Yitai has five concubines in his backyard besides his wife, but only his wife gave birth to a son."
Yan Cheng's first thought was: "So Huo Yitai is not okay?"
There are six women in the backyard, and only one son has been born in all these years. It is impossible that all the women have problems. It must be Huo Yitai.
"Well...I don't know if he can do it."
The secret guard whispered that he had no idea whether the man could do it or not. Even if he really couldn't do it, this secret about a man's dignity could not be leaked.
"It doesn't necessarily mean he can't..."
Counting with his fingertips on the table, Yan Cheng thought of another possibility.
Maybe it was because Huo Yitai's wife was too powerful and her skills in house fighting were extremely high, so she was the only one who gave birth to a child in Huo Yitai's backyard.
If it was really Mrs. Huo who did it, I don’t know who is better at fighting in the house, her or my mother.
It should be my own mother, right?
After all, my mother is the woman who can make my handsome father dismiss his concubines and give up taking one.

"Master, the blueprints for the textile machine have been given to Linglong Pavilion. Here is a 10,000 tael silver note."
The fluently-spoken man came to the bookstore, took out the silver note he had obtained not long ago and pushed it in front of Yan Cheng. His proud expression could be vaguely seen.
"You've done a great job. I'll give you triple your salary at the end of the month."
Soon the man left the bookstore with satisfaction. It was great to work for the young master. The salary was tripled and there was an extra dowry for his daughter.
Swinging the beautiful silver bills, Yan Cheng hummed a little tune happily. Who doesn't like money? In this day and age, it is absolutely impossible to live without money.
After humming the tune, Yan Cheng took out another textile machine blueprint from his arms. The textile machine made according to this blueprint is five times more efficient than the textile machines available outside.
He looked at the drawing he had drawn himself, confirmed that it was correct, took out a letter from his arms and looked at Leng Yan, the only person who had the honor to listen to the out-of-tune tune, with a mischievous smile in his eyes.
"After delivering this letter to my father, we'll just wait and see what happens."
A textile machine with five times the efficiency is just right. People who use a textile machine with ten times the efficiency can still make a profit and will not be furious.
As for Linglong Pavilion, they discovered they had been tricked...
What does the evil done by the boss behind Mingzhu Pavilion have to do with Yan Cheng?

Yan Guangyi and his wife saw off Yan Guangsheng and his wife who came to visit them, turned around and walked to the second door and sighed in unison.
Yan Guangyi and Chu Yuan looked at each other and laughed together again. Chu Yuan said angrily, "We really have a tacit understanding as a couple."
"How else can they be husband and wife?"
Yan Guangyi smiled and said that the tacit understanding between husband and wife over the years was not fake.
The smile on Yan Guangyi's face didn't last long, and he sighed again: "My second brother still hasn't filled the vacancy. Three years ago, he was at least a fourth-rank official, but now he is nothing."
"My second brother wants me to help him find a position, but I don't have any acquaintances in the Ministry of Personnel and I haven't been in the capital for many years. How can I help him?"
"I know what my second brother is thinking. He simply thinks that if we return to the capital together, I will be appointed Minister of Works and receive a private audience with the Emperor in a few days. But he has no idea that I am relying on my son's help."
"If it weren't for the fact that things haven't been finalized yet and I don't want to ruin someone's daughter's reputation, I really want to tell my second brother the truth so that he won't have too high hopes for me."
Not long after he returned to Beijing and became the Minister of Works, the emperor summoned him. He met the emperor alone with a nervous heart, staying up all night to memorize the work of the previous few days, thinking that the emperor wanted to examine him.
As a result, the emperor said things like "My dear minister, you have worked hard," "You are really capable," and "You are worthy of being my capable minister."
Yan Guangyi was deeply moved and was about to use his literary talent as the third place winner to flatter the emperor, but the emperor suddenly changed the subject and asked why his second son did not come to the capital.
Yan Guangyi was stunned at that time.
What?
It turns out that the emperor wanted to see his second son instead of him?
Why do I feel a little sad?
Yan Guangyi wiped away tears of envy in his heart and secretly looked up at the face of the True Dragon Emperor. He did not see any dissatisfaction or anger, but rather saw that he was very excited.
It was obvious that his daughter Cheng'er had caught the emperor's eye.
What happened? And when did it happen?
