Chapter 784: Fear of Bloodshed
No one knows a child better than his mother. After hearing Lu Peilan say this, the others noticed something awkward.
Ever since Yan Qingsong appeared at the door, his hands have been kept behind his back, never showing at all.
At first glance, Song Yanxi thought that her little cousin was imitating the teacher and pretending to be profound.
After making such a fuss for so long, you actually don’t want them to see it?
Yan Changkun's face darkened as he said unhappily, "Hurry up and take out what you've hidden, and don't make your mother angry."
Yan Qingsong knew the rest without him saying anything.
His mother is now pregnant with a younger brother or sister, and is the top priority of the entire family.
If anyone is blind and makes his mother unhappy, he will make the whole family unhappy.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be beaten at least six times.
If you count my aunt, that’s seven meals!
Even if he had an iron bottom, he couldn't bear it.
Before Yan Changkun lost his temper, he quickly stepped forward, trotted in front of Lu Peilan, and took out a bunch of wild flowers from behind him like a magic trick.
He scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look, "The teacher said that it is not easy for women to get pregnant. I remember that my mother used to like this wild flower very much."
Lu Peilan's eyes instantly turned red, "Song'er."
Yan Changkun was quick to take the wildflower for her, glared at his son and said, "Dare to make your mother cry, you will definitely be beaten today."
"Ah?" Yan Qingsong was dumbfounded and hurriedly coaxed: "Mom, for the sake of your son's butt, you must not cry."
Lü Peilan was amused by his words of admitting defeat and said angrily, "Look at your useless appearance. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by your aunt and sister?"
"What are you afraid of!" Yan Qingsong straightened his back, "We are all family anyway, so you can't bear to laugh at me.
Besides, a man is not going to lose any weight if someone laughs at him."
He suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened as he asked, "What sister?"
Yan Zhangkun slapped him on the back of the head and scolded him, "Silly boy, you only have one sister."
Yan Qingsong screamed in pain from being beaten, and quickly hid beside Yan Qing, saying, "Aunt, save me! Daddy is going to beat me to death."
After he dodged like this, he finally saw Song Yanxi sitting next to her.
In an instant, he stood there in a daze, as if someone had pricked his blood.
Song Yanxi smiled at him and said, "Cousin, long time no see."
Hearing her voice, Yan Qingsong came back to his senses and rushed forward, saying excitedly: "Cousin, it's really you!"
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to say anything, he threw himself into her arms and snorted, "I knew that what Li Zhuang said was all bullshit. Even if my cousin becomes a higher-ranking person, she will never forget us relatives."
He sniffed and was so moved that he almost cried.
Yan Zhangkun's face darkened immediately, and he warned, "If your tears and snot stain your cousin's clothes later, don't blame me for being disrespectful."
Hearing this, Yan Qingsong quickly let go of his hand and took two steps back.
He said with a look of grievance: "Cousin, I thought you didn't want us anymore."
Yan Changkun: "Stinky boy, how can you talk like that?"
Seeing that he was about to attack, Lu Peilan stopped him and said, "Alright, this kid is not as smart as his two brothers to begin with, and if he is beaten again, he will become stupid."
Yan Qingsong's eyes widened immediately, "Mom, I am your biological son!"
The sad tone of voice makes anyone who hears it sad and listens to it cry.
Yan Changkun showed no mercy, "If you weren't my biological son, I would have beaten you to death eight hundred times."
Seeing that he was about to bring up old scores, Yan Qingsong hurriedly said, "Well done!"
Under the gazes of the crowd, he said with conviction, "If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful object. Daddy's stick is all for the sake of his son's success."
"Puff!" Shen Qingyun couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She looked at Song Yanxi and said, "Listen, this guy is very good at talking. He should just find a place to tell stories in the future."
Yan Qingsong shook his head like a rattle, and said with a sad face, "Being a storyteller these days might lead to bloodshed."
Yan Changkun frowned, "You kid, you're talking nonsense again, aren't you?"
"Dad, everything my son says is true!"
Putting his hands into the basin brought by the maid, Yan Qingsong washed his hands while saying seriously, "Didn't you hear in the shop today that a number of storytellers have been beaten in the middle of the night in recent days?
The blows were so brutal that either an arm or a leg was broken, or two teeth were knocked out and the person's speech became limp and he could no longer read."
Yan Changkun shook his head.
Seeing that his father didn't know, Yan Qingsong spoke even more excitedly, "Dad, guess what, all of these storytellers who were targeted have mentioned the royal family's secrets in public in the recent past."
Upon hearing the royal secret, everyone at the table turned serious.
If the old man were still alive, these words would never be mentioned at the Yan family's dinner table.
Yan Changkun was about to say something when he was stopped by Shen Qingyun’s eyes.
The Yan family today is different from before.
Xier is about to marry into Prince Jin's mansion as a concubine, so the Yan family will certainly not be able to remain unaffected.
The old man had already written back to her and clearly told her the couple's attitude on this point.
As long as Xier makes up her mind, the Yan family will be the most solid support behind His Royal Highness Prince Jin in the future.
If he intends to ascend the throne and become emperor, the Yan family's treasury will become his national treasury.
On the contrary, with the Yan family's current financial resources, supporting another son-in-law is no problem at all.
Yan Qingsong was often beaten since he was a child because he was naughty, and he was also very good at reading people's expressions.
Seeing his aunt's attitude, he immediately cleared his throat and continued, "Actually, what you're talking about is nothing new."
Yan Changkun said coldly, "If you keep me in suspense, get out of here."
Hearing this, Yan Qingsong dared not delay any longer and quickly said, "It's not like I won't tell you, why are you in such a hurry?"
"You kid, you're still talking nonsense to me, right?"
Seeing that he was about to attack again, Yan Qingsong hid behind Yan Qing and said, "It's just the matter of that Prince Huairen.
I don’t know what’s going on recently, but the storytellers in restaurants and teahouses all claim that Prince Huairen has a posthumous child who is still alive.
It's so convincing, it's like the truth."
Shen Qingyun frowned when he heard this, "Are these people crazy? They dare to say such ridiculous things."
Yan Qingsong nodded hurriedly and agreed, "Who says it's not? The master also said that there must be someone behind the scenes stirring up trouble."
He analyzed: "Even if Prince Huairen really has a son, as the emperor's eldest grandson, there are countless people in the palace who are eager to take him back and make him their master.
In my opinion, those people are just bored and have nothing to do, and they think having their heads on their shoulders is a hindrance."
Lu Peilan glared at him and said, "Where did you learn these words? Be careful or your grandfather will hear you and get spanked."
Yan Qingsong hurriedly explained, "Mother, you have wronged your son. These words were spread outside."
Afraid that she wouldn't believe him, he added, "You don't know how awful those storytellers are. I'm embarrassed to learn from you."
Lu Peilan sensed something was wrong and asked with a frown, "When did you go to the teahouse to listen to stories?"
