Seeing that Yu Chongshan kept his head down and didn't respond, Emperor Mingxi couldn't help but say, "Minister Yu, no matter what, the Little Immortal Lord is still in your home, so you see..."
Standing atop the mountain, under Emperor Mingxi's burning gaze, Yu Chongshan swallowed hard before helplessly saying, "Your Majesty, I will do my best, but..."
He found it difficult to talk about, but since everyone present knew the inside story, there was no point in hiding it.
So he said, "But as you heard, because of us, we hurt that child's feelings, to the point that she's not close to us. Such a precious thing as a high-yield, superior seed..."
If Yue Fuguang clearly doesn't get close to or trust them, how can they expect to produce good seeds?
At this point, Emperor Mingxi's face also darkened. A perfectly good human-shaped auspicious omen bestowed by Heaven had been ruined because of Yu Qinchun's stupidity, causing the person to have little affection for the Yu family or the Dayan Kingdom.
He looked at the Yu family father and son, especially Yu Qinchun, who had been kneeling since he came in, and asked, "So, how does Minister Yu intend to handle this matter?"
Yu Chongshan instantly understood the emperor's meaning, and he gritted his teeth and revealed the plan he had thought of before.
He said, "Your Majesty, I wish to adopt that child into the eldest son's family..."
"Father!" Before he could finish speaking, Yu Qinchun, who had been kneeling with his head bowed, couldn't help but call out when he heard that Yue Fuguang was to be adopted by his eldest brother.
Ignoring the Emperor's presence, he couldn't help but continue, "Father, you can't do this! Seventh Girl is my own daughter..."
"Your own daughter? When have you ever treated her like your own daughter? She's been with us for over a month now, how many times have you gone to see her and check on her?"
As a father, you haven't even given your child a name! All you care about is that usurper, that fake!
Yu Chongshan saw that Emperor Mingxi did not care about his disciplining of his son, and even seemed to be pleased with it.
He continued, "Now that you know who she is, you remember she's your biological daughter? Your daughter was abused to death by the Zhou family three years ago when she was only five years old!"
He grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, saying with a hint of resentment, "You originally had a chance to rekindle your father-daughter relationship, but what did you and that Sun woman do?"
You treated your own daughter like an adopted daughter, and you still wanted to keep it from us! If I hadn't investigated myself, how long did you intend to keep it from us?
As a father, you actually paid and supported the murderer who killed your own daughter for a counterfeit product!
Seeing that Yu Qinchun wanted to refute, he immediately said, "Don't tell me you don't know that the child died when he was five years old."
Even if you don't know these things, you must know what those villains from the Zhou family did to the child, right? They are your enemies, not your benefactors!
Yu Qinchun wanted to say that he didn't know, or didn't know much, because apart from sending himself and a steward when picking up people, he had entrusted all matters to his wife.
At first, he thought that as a mother, Sun would love her child more and take better care of her daughter.
Who knew things would turn out this way?
He dared not speak, nor could he bring himself to say it.
Yu Chongshan watched coldly as his third son stammered, unable to utter a single word, and felt even more disappointed.
"So," his voice suddenly turned icy cold, "since you don't care about this daughter, then let your elder brother raise her, and you and Madam Sun can live your lives with that fake!"
"Big brother!" Yu Qinchun was speechless after being hurt by his father's words, and couldn't help but beg his older brother to put in a good word for him.
Yu Chongshan said, "Don't beg your eldest brother. If he doesn't want to raise the child, then I'll arrange for him to be adopted by the second son. Anyway, the old man has many sons, you..."
"Father, I'll raise her, I'll raise her. I would be more than happy to have Seventh Girl adopted into my name."
Master Yu Zhongchun was almost knocked unconscious by the huge windfall his father had just dropped on him. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was agape as he was shocked and grinning foolishly. He didn't respond to the old man in time, and his daughter, who was almost in his grasp, was about to fly away!
“Father, our eldest son’s family doesn’t have a legitimate daughter yet. Zhang Shi and I have always wanted a daughter.”
So please rest assured, my husband and I will definitely treat that child well. The eldest son and his siblings already have many children, so there will only be more, not fewer.
Emperor Mingxi and his officials witnessed the Yu family's grand spectacle of 'filial piety and parental love' up close, and were inwardly amazed.
Who doesn't have a few troublesome children or grandchildren? Seeing other people's children and then thinking about your own makes you feel better!
Some people even secretly thought that although their own children ate and spent a lot and were a bit useless, they had never caused such a big disaster as the third son of the Yu family.
If we hadn't heard Little Immortal Lord's thoughts today, these three couples would have offended him to death.
Yu Chongshan is too good-tempered. If it were them, they would have taken off their shoes and hit him long ago!
Speaking of which, all the good shows today were kindly provided by the Yu family. In the future, if any of the little immortals voice their opinions, this capital city will still be lively.
In fact, the people in the family were more secretly envious. Even Emperor Mingxi wondered why Yue Fuguang wasn't born into the royal family.
Although they already knew that Yue Fuguang was a reincarnation, her identity as a Little Immortal Lord made them feel no fear or disgust towards ghosts or monsters, only deep awe.
Moreover, they believed that since the Little Immortal Lord had used the body of the Yu family girl, he was still of the Yu family bloodline, and if he was of the Yu family bloodline, he was still a member of the Yu family.
Yu Chongshan and his sons also believed that since the physical body belonged to their child, Yue Fuguang was still a member of the Yu family connected to them by blood.
Yue Fuguang had anticipated their thoughts long ago; her words were merely an attempt to sever ties with the third branch of the family.
She still had many things to do, so she didn't want to be bound by so-called 'filial piety.' Nor did she want to maintain a mother-daughter relationship with someone like Sun, not even on the surface.
Seeing that the matter was settled, everyone ignored Yu Qinchun, who looked like he had lost his father, and went up to congratulate Yu Zhongchun with smiles, "Congratulations, Lord Yu, on the birth of your daughter."
"Congratulations, Master Yu, on the birth of your daughter."
Someone else said, "Lord Yu, such a joyous occasion, shouldn't you invite us to join in the celebration?"
Upon hearing his suggestion, someone immediately chimed in, "Yes, Lord Yu, Lord Yu, your Yu family should certainly put on a grand banquet!"
Emperor Mingxi also joined in the fun, saying, "This is a joyous occasion, and we should hold a banquet to celebrate."
Yu Chongshan, ever quick to respond, replied, "We'll definitely have a banquet." He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the Yu family had passed His Majesty's test!
He smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to his colleagues, saying, "The Yu family will be hosting a grand banquet in five days to celebrate the birth of my eldest son's daughter. I hope all of you gentlemen will be able to attend!"
After inviting his colleagues, Yu Chongshan bowed solemnly again and boldly asked, "I don't know Your Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Crown Prince smiled and replied, "Since Lord Yu has invited me, I will definitely go and join in the fun that day."
He then turned to Emperor Mingxi with a look of filial piety and said, "Father, why don't you come with me? You are always busy with state affairs and have no free time. This is a good opportunity to leave the palace and take a break."
