Shangguan Jinnian opened his confused eyes, and a handsome face came into view.
"Kid, are you awake? Are you feeling better? Are you hungry?"
His voice was so nice. He remembered calling him daddy before he fell into a coma.
Yes, it should be his father.
"Dad... Dad." Shangguan Jinnian's breath was a little weak. "I... I'm hungry."
Su Xingyi reached out and rubbed his hair, "Daddy, I'll go get some food."
"Don't go." Shangguan Jinnian tightly grasped Su Xingyi's thumb, his expression slightly panicked, "I'm scared."
Xiao Lingyu entered the room and looked at the scene in front of him with a frown on his face. A hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes. Is this kid pretending?
But, the look in his eyes doesn't seem like it.
Xiao Lingyu stepped forward and said softly, "Don't be afraid, kid. There are no bad people here."
Shangguan Jinnian saw that Xiao Lingyu's eyes were shining. She was very beautiful and must be his mother.
"Mother." Shangguan Jinnian quickly let go of Su Xingyi's thumb and grabbed Xiao Lingyu's hand. "Mother, stay with me, and you won't be afraid."
Xiao Lingyu: "..."
Su Xingyi quickly stood up and said, "Daddy will go get you some food. Your mother and uncle will be with you. You don't have to be afraid."
After saying this, Su Xingyi strode out of the room.
Feng Jinyu: How come he has another nephew?
This won’t do!
Su Xingyi can't just pick up the child casually.
Xiao Lingyu saw that Shangguan Jinnian's pulse was normal and there was no sign of brain damage or amnesia.
"Mother, where are we?"
Xiao Lingyu said, "This is my home, child. You've got the wrong person. I'm not your mother."
"No, you are my mother." Shangguan Jinnian suddenly choked up, "Don't you want me anymore? I will be obedient and study hard. Please don't want me."
Shangguan Jinnian's eyes were red. He propped up his little body and sat up from the bed, holding out his little palm. "Mother, I was wrong. Please spank me. I am your biological son. You cannot abandon me."
Xiao Lingyu was at a loss for a moment.
He looked as if his brain had really burned out.
Xiao Lingyu looked at his red eyes, with tears welling up in them but he was holding them back. He looked particularly pitiful and helpless.
Xiao Lingyu's maternal love couldn't help but overflow again... She was already a mother of four children, so one more wouldn't be a big deal.
The key is that the child is handsome. It won’t be a disadvantage for him to be his mother, so just be his mother for the time being.
In just a few breaths, Xiao Lingyu made a decision. She took out a handkerchief and wiped him, then gently stroked his little head. "Mother won't abandon you. You're so cute, how could Mother bear to abandon you? Lie down, okay?"
Mother is so gentle and smells so good.
He has to listen to his mother.
"Okay, mother, I'll lie down obediently."
Xiao Lingyu wanted to reach out to cover him with a thin quilt, but Shangguan Jinnian quickly snatched the quilt from Xiao Lingyu.
"Mom, I can do it myself."
After Shangguan Jinnian covered himself with the quilt and lay down, he reached out and grabbed Xiao Lingyu's big hand, fearing that she would disappear.
Feng Jinyu suddenly felt something was wrong. Xiaoyu now recognized him as his son?
Is it too hasty?
How can we understand his identity from him?
After thinking for a moment, he came to the bedside and said in an extremely gentle tone: "My little nephew, you have been feverish and sleepy for several days. Is your head still hurting now?"
Shangguan Jinnian then realized that he was a little weak, as if he had been lying there for a long time. "How long have I been unconscious?"
Feng Jinyu looked at him and said, "You've been in a coma for three days. The doctor said you might have brain problems when you wake up. Do you still remember your name? How old are you?"
"I... Ouch, mother, it hurts." Shangguan Jinjin pressed his temple with a very painful expression.
Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly when he saw this. Was this real or just acting?
So realistic!
He quickly pressed his temples and said, "If you don't think about it, it won't hurt. You'll remember it slowly."
Shangguan Jinnian said with an extremely painful expression, "I remember when I was eight years old, you all called me Xiaojiu."
Xiao Lingyu pursed his lips and said, "Xiaojiu, you went out to play three days ago. Do you remember what happened? How did you suddenly become feverish and drowsy? Your father and I were very worried."
"ah--"
An image flashed through Shangguan Jinnian's mind. "There's a fight going on. Lots of people..."
Seeing the pain on his face, Xiao Lingyu didn't seem to be faking it. "Alright, alright, don't think about it. As long as you wake up, everything will be fine. Stay by your parents' side from now on and don't run around. Okay?"
"Yeah, Xiaojiu will never run away again."
"Son, food is here."
Su Xingyi entered the room carrying a bowl of matsutake and shredded chicken porridge, a plate of shrimp dumplings, and a dish of side dishes.
"Okay, you can have dinner with Xiaojiu."
Xiaojiu?
Su Xingyi glanced at Xiao Lingyu and Feng Jinyu, and it was not difficult to guess that they were trying to get some information out of the child.
Su Xingyi smiled and nodded, placing the food on the bedside table, "Xiaojiu, it's time to eat."
Seeing this, Xiao Lingyu left the room, and Feng Jinyu followed closely behind.
"Jinyu, this child is most likely related to the murder at the dock today."
Feng Jinyu thought for a moment and said, "It's unlikely. If this child is related to the murder case, then he must be the young master that these dozen deceased people want to protect. If he is really their young master, there is no way I haven't seen him before."
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps he is the heir of a prince who was granted a fiefdom outside the capital. It is very likely that we have never met him."
Feng Jinyu said, "That makes sense. According to the ancestral system, the descendants of princes who were enfeoffed outside the capital had to ask for titles before they could inherit the throne or become the crown prince. Xiaojiu was assassinated, so it's very likely that someone didn't want him to inherit the throne."
