"But...but how can you let someone call you 'Dad' so casually? Does that mean if he calls you 'Dad,' he'll have to call me 'Mom' in the future? I don't want to pick up a son halfway through life."
Yiming immediately pouted and gestured with his little nose at her.
"Who calls you 'mother'? I have my own mother, and she's a hundred times, a thousand times prettier and gentler than you."
"you……"
Yue Xiaoyue was so angry she almost twisted her nose. Just then, Luo Zhiwan strode over and yelled at Yiming.
"Luo Yiming, you've run away again? Come here quickly."
Yiming stuck his tongue out at Leng Chuchen, then quickly went out the door, ran to her side, and called out in a soft, sweet voice.
"mother……"
At this moment, Yue Xiaoyue became even more furious. It turned out that the child was the daughter of this woman.
She immediately looked at Luo Zhiwan with displeasure.
“From now on, keep a close eye on your own child and stop calling everyone ‘Dad.’ My brother Chen and I are getting married soon, and I don’t want to have another son out of nowhere.”
Hearing this, Yiming pursed his lips and looked at Leng Chuchen.
"Dad, is what this wicked sister said true? You're going to marry her? What will happen to Mom then?"
Seeing that this brat was speaking without thinking, Luo Zhiwan quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth, and looked at Yue Xiaoyue awkwardly.
"Don't take it personally, he just likes to talk nonsense."
As she said this, she hurriedly pulled him away.
At this moment, Yue Xiaoyue's face had turned from white to green.
She pouted, stomped her foot hard, turned her head, and glared fiercely at Leng Chuchen.
"Brother Chen, what is your relationship with that woman? Why does her child call you 'Mother'?"
Leng Chuchen's brows furrowed slightly, but the corners of her mouth lifted a little as she replied casually:
"It's alright, but she saved me."
He left those words behind, turning and departing, leaving Yue Xiaoyue there, her face flushed with anger.
Seeing that Leng Chuchen was unwilling to explain to her, she immediately went to Empress Qi and began to sob and complain.
"Aunt, that doctor surnamed Luo, she actually made her child call Brother Chen 'Dad'! You have to do something about this!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Empress Qi's face immediately darkened.
"Calling Chen'er 'Dad'? That's incredibly audacious."
Seeing that Empress Qi was slightly angry, Yue Xiaoyue didn't forget to add fuel to the fire.
"That's right, she's just a doctor, and a doctor with a bad reputation at that. What right does she have to make a move on Brother Chen? Aunt, you haven't seen it, she's always trying to seduce Brother Chen. I'm really afraid... I'm really afraid that Brother Chen, who is so inexperienced in matters of the heart, will be seduced away by her."
"I will not let that happen."
As she said this, a chilling glint flashed in Empress Qi's eyes.
"Xiaoyue, there's no need to rush anything. With your aunt here, you're guaranteed the position of Crown Princess and the future Empress."
After saying this, she gave instructions to the people outside:
"rouge……"
The maid, Rouge, hurried in.
"Your Majesty..."
"Go and investigate this woman surnamed Luo. Find out who her husband is, her family situation, and anything related to her."
"Yes, this servant will go right away."
Empress Qi muttered fiercely to herself.
"For a common woman to dream of becoming a phoenix on a branch is simply a pipe dream."
Seeing that her aunt was willing to help her, a smug smile flashed across Yue Xiaoyue's lips.
...
After bringing Yiming home, Luo Zhiwan had a serious talk with him.
"Luo Yiming, this is my last warning to you. If you dare to go to Chu Chen again, if you dare to call him 'Dad,' I'll abandon you and throw you out onto the street..."
"Wow!"
As soon as she said that, Yiming saw out of the corner of his eye that his grandmother was walking towards them. Suddenly, she opened her mouth wide and started crying.
Seeing this, Jiawang's mother ran over with heartache, picked him up, and kept comforting him.
"What's wrong? Why are you scolding the child? He's so young, why do you keep scolding him?"
"mother……"
Zhiwan looked at her mother helplessly.
"He went to the Chu family's house to look for his father again. Don't you think he should be scolded?"
Hearing this, Jiawang's mother looked at Yiming with some difficulty.
"Why are you so insistent that the man surnamed Chu is your father? He isn't."
"But I like him."
His casual remark made Luo Zhiwan even angrier.
"You like him? If you like him, do you want him to be your father? Why don't you like the emperor then? Besides, didn't you see that he has a wife? That woman looks fierce. If you dare to call him father again, be careful that woman will skin you alive."
Yiming pouted, frowned, and nestled against her grandmother, muttering softly.
"Grandma, Mom is so fierce. She just dragged me back by the collar and almost strangled me to death."
"Luo Yiming, stop badmouthing me. If you hadn't shamelessly gone and called him 'Dad,' would I be so angry? I just don't understand, do you want a dad that much? Isn't it good for you to live with your mom, grandma, grandpa, aunt, and uncle? What use is a dad to you?"
Yiming looked at her with tears in his eyes and a pout.
"Mom, why do all the other children have fathers, but I don't?"
"because……"
She wanted to explain, but found that she didn't know how.
Seeing this, his grandmother quickly patted his back gently.
"Yiming, you don't understand adult matters. You'll understand when you grow up. Go back with Grandma for your afternoon nap."
As she spoke, her mother carried him toward the backyard. Zhiwan sat down on a chair with a sigh of relief.
Zhiruo, who had just finished her work, walked over quickly.
"Big sister, you used to be able to predict a lot of things, right? Can you predict how our shop's business will be this afternoon?"
She looked up at her in surprise.
"Are you busy this afternoon?"
Zhiruo nodded, her face flushed.
"Yes, I'd like to go out this afternoon."
Where to?
"Go out and buy something."
"Zhiruo, have you taken a fancy to some man? I've seen you going out a lot lately. You need to be careful, or you'll get taken advantage of!"
"I know, it's just... just going out for a walk."
Seeing that Zhiruo had admitted it, she couldn't wait to ask:
"Tell me quickly, whose man is he? I'll help you take a look."
Zhiruo blushed immediately.
"Big sister, it's still far from certain, so don't ask anymore. Can I go out this afternoon?"
Zhiruo is already twenty years old this year. If it weren't for the fact that her situation had such a big impact on her, she should have been married long ago at her age.
"Go ahead, and come back soon."
Zhiruo then grinned and nodded happily.
"I understand, big sister. Thank you for your hard work this afternoon."
After saying that, she quickly went out the door and disappeared in an instant.
Although Zhiwan was a little worried about her sudden change, she still felt that she was already a grown woman, and as her older sister, she shouldn't interfere too much, especially in her love life. As long as she could be happy, that was all that mattered.
