These people in the Yin Mansion were colluding to brand Song Wanning as cold and heartless. However, Song Wanning had never been one to be coerced. Seeing this scene, she simply said coldly, "Aunt, you don't know, Xu'er has only been under my care for a year. He was adopted by Master Bai. Now that I'm no longer a daughter-in-law of the Wen family, I naturally have no time to care about Xu'er. I never thought he would have such a deep affection for me."
Although Song Wanning now knew that Wen Xu was faking it, she couldn't expose him in this situation. This gave Wu Junrou an excuse to control Song Wanning. Wu Junrou looked at Song Wanning and said, "In a year, let alone a child, even a cat or dog should have developed feelings for each other. Look at you, this child of yours is so cute and adorable, yet you dislike him so much. I think you should spend more time with this child in the future."
Song Wanning frowned as she watched Wen Xu clutching her leg tightly. This child was a man of deep thoughts. She was probably under the orders of Wen Tingbo to appear here and trip her up.
Zhuque and Caique, who were standing by, saw Song Wanning in such a predicament. Zhuque immediately approached Caique and whispered, "Hurry back to the mansion and tell the Prime Minister to come and rescue the Madam."
Caique responded and quietly went out.
Meanwhile, Suzaku took a few steps forward, standing in front of Song Wanning. He looked at Wu Junrou and said, "Madam Yin, there are so many people and things that Madam has to meet every day. If a stepmother of the Wen family is still so concerned and wants everyone to be so sentimental, I'm afraid this position as housekeeper is no longer necessary."
Wu Junrou glanced at the clever Suzaku, took a few steps forward, and sneered, "What a good servant! She even knows how to make excuses for her master. I'm not talking about letting Wan Ning recognize every child in the world. I'm just talking about this poor child in front of her. Look at this child, how pitifully he cries. He must miss his mother so much to cry like this."
Zhuque turned around, looked at Wenxu at Song Wanning's feet, and said, "Little Wenxu, if you have something to say, get up and talk properly."
"I don't want it. My mother won't want me anymore if I get up." Wen Xu said, and even hugged Song Wanning's legs and turned his face away. He looked so pitiful.
Seeing this, Zhuque could only sigh. Who would have thought that such a child would be like a dog-skin plaster and could not be gotten rid of.
At this moment, Wen Xu, who was holding Song Wanning, continued to speak, "Mother, although you have only been my mother for one year, deep down in my heart, I regard you as my biological mother. I also hope that you will not disown me. When I grow up, I will definitely be filial to you."
The phrase "respect her well" nearly made Song Wanning laugh out loud. She remembered Wen Xu's filial piety in her past life. She lowered her head and looked at Wen Xu with a rather playful gaze, which made Wen Xu feel guilty. He turned his gaze away from Song Wanning.
Wu Junrou, who was standing above, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, raised it up, wiped her tears, and looked at Song Wanning and said, "Wanning, this child is so pitiful, you should just take him in. Now he is a child of the Wen family, just recognize him as your former child, otherwise it would be too pitiful. This child is really a good child who values love and friendship. He has only been raised by you for a year, and he misses you so much."
Song Wanning was about to speak when she heard her mother's voice outside, "The Prime Minister is here."
Yin Yichen had not set foot in the Yin family's door for a long time. Now he actually came, which was a bit unexpected for Wu Junrou and her daughters-in-law.
Wu Junrou looked at the door, and soon saw the handsome Yin Yichen coming in from outside.
Yin Yichen's expression was cold at this time. After a while, he came to Song Wanning and looked at Wen Xu squatting on her feet and said, "Where did this little kid come from? Let go of me."
If Yin Yichen became cold and indifferent, the high-ranking officials in the capital would tremble when they saw him, let alone a child now.
Seeing this, Wen Xu quickly let go of his hand, stood up and stood aside.
Yin Yichen looked at Wu Junrou and laughed slowly, "I didn't realize that the Yin Mansion was so lively, and I don't know what it's all about. I just came here to listen and make a decision."
Wu Junrou, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. She looked at Yin Yichen and smiled, "Yichen, you haven't been home for a long time. It's a rare occasion for you to come. What they're talking about are just some trivial matters. This poor child is the one your wife left behind at the Marquis Zhongping's mansion. Now the child misses his mother but has no way to see Wan Ning. Seeing that the child is so beautiful and pitiful, I helped Qianqiao to arrange for the mother and child to meet."
"What do you mean by a child left behind in the Marquis of Zhongping's mansion?" Yin Yichen's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Wu Junrou and slowly said, "Aunt, you might want to think carefully about how to speak appropriately now. My wife, Song Wanning, may have been married to Wen Tingbai in the Marquis of Zhongping's mansion for a few years in name only, but they weren't actually married. So where did the child come from?"
Wu Junrou looked embarrassed for a moment when she saw this, then she slowly said, "Good boy, this child is Wan Ning's adopted son from the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion. Although he is an adopted son, he is still her child, right? At least he recognizes her as his mother."
"What's his last name?" Yin Yichen's expression became even colder.
"His surname is Wen." Zhuque hurried forward and said, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, this child's surname is Wen, and he has nothing to do with our wife."
"If that's the case, why are you still here entangled with this?" Yin Yichen raised a cold smile and said slowly, "Since it has nothing to do with my wife, we should go back home. Why are we entangled with this child here?"
Wu Junrou couldn't accept this and immediately said, "Yi Chen, although this child is not Wan Ning's biological child, he is a very loyal and righteous child. His face is red. Please have some pity on him."
Yin Yichen turned around and glanced at Wen Xu in the corner. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and said calmly, "Loyal and righteous? Well, he's only been with Wan Ning in the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion for a year, and they've already formed such a deep bond. I imagine his bond with his biological mother is even deeper. In that case, I'll have someone find his biological parents and let him recognize them. How about that?"
