Chapter 584 Father, what is my younger brother's name?
There was a moment of silence in the main hall of the Wang family. No one agreed with Li Erxiong's words. After a few breaths, Wang Dalang said to Li Erxiong with a smile, "Haha, he's just a little boy. Why would he need to see anything?"
"Come on, it's about time, Li brothers, let's take our seats. We've specially prepared a lot of precious ingredients so you can have a good meal today."
How could Li San Niang and Li Er Xiong not see through Wang Da Lang's laughter?
This abrupt turn of events, and the awkwardness of the Wang family members when they heard that Prince Heng's son was to come out and meet Lu Zhu'er, made everyone know that there must be something wrong with this.
However, Li San Niang and Li Er Xiong exchanged another glance. They both knew that today was to bring Lu Zhu'er to the Wang family for a reunion dinner, and they didn't necessarily want to see this young man.
So, Brother Li stood up with a smile and followed Brother Wang to where the table was set.
Li San Niang naturally didn't hesitate and went with Lu Zhu'er.
At this moment, Li San Niang felt a little awkward looking at Qiu Xiang, who had been following her. Qiu Xiang, on the other hand, had gotten used to it and just stood at the door waiting, signaling to Li San Niang with her eyes that it was alright to come.
As for the tenth prince, after the Li family's carriage arrived at the Wang family's residence, he went to the stables and did not follow Qiu Xiang into the main hall of the Wang family's residence.
This meal wasn't exactly torture, but it was certainly very awkward.
After Li San Niang had finished feeding Lu Zhu'er, she only wanted to say a few more words before taking Lu Zhu'er home, but she really didn't want to stay at the Wang family's house any longer.
After drinking most of the digestive tea after the meal, Li San Niang thought she could finally leave. She prepared herself and was about to wait for Li Er Xiong and Wang Da Lang to exchange a few more words before getting up, bowing, and leaving behind Li Er Xiong.
Unexpectedly, after Li Erxiong said, "...Thank you for your hospitality. I will visit again in the future," Luzhu'er, who had been lifted off the chair by Li Sanniang, suddenly stopped, looked up at Li Sanniang with her innocent, slightly questioning eyes, and asked, "Mother, aren't we going to see our younger brother?"
Li Sanlang was stunned by Lu Zhu'er's question.
Not to mention Li San Niang, everyone present was stunned by Lu Zhu'er's innocent yet earnest question!
Li San Niang didn't need to look at Wang Ziheng's face to know that he must have turned into a black-bottomed face again.
"Haha, haha, Pearl, we'll come to your father's house to see your brother again next time. We won't visit him this time."
"Come on, let's go home. Your grandma is waiting for you there."
Dewdrop wasn't usually a baby with high needs, but just as Li San Niang was about to laugh it off and pick her up, Dewdrop suddenly became a little serious.
She rejected Li San Niang's hug with her whole body, and looked at Li San Niang very seriously, asking again, "Mother, aren't we going to see my younger brother?"
Li San Niang was now in a dilemma, not knowing how to find another excuse to deceive her.
Seeing that Li San Niang did not answer, Lu Zhu'er turned around and looked at her father, who was slumped in the chair with a lifeless expression. She asked Wang Ziheng, "Father, Zhu'er came to see my brother."
The whole scene became awkward.
If possible, everyone in the room except for Dewdrop would probably want to fast-forward and quickly avoid Dewdrop's question.
It is no exaggeration to say that there was absolute silence in the main hall of the Wang family for at least three breaths. If a pin were to fall to the ground, it would be impossible to hear it.
Finally, Wang Dalang stepped forward. He first glanced at Granny Wang, then at his younger brother Wang Ziheng, who had been pampered since childhood, before saying to Luzhu'er, who was standing with her head tilted back, "Alright, Luzhu'er, wait a moment, your uncle will send someone to fetch Xiaolang."
Dewdrop smiled shyly at Wang Dalang, bowed to him, and then grabbed Li Sanniang's skirt, standing there waiting.
What else could Li San Niang do at this point?
Li San Niang carried Lu Zhu'er back to the chair, and she sat down as well. Li Er Xiong naturally sat down with an awkward smile as well. Everyone was waiting for the servants that Wang Da Lang had instructed to return, so that they could bring Wang Ziheng's only son to meet his only daughter and get to know him.
The Wang family servants acted swiftly, carrying a rather large child into the main hall in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
The baby, who was seven or eight months old, couldn't speak much yet. Li San Niang picked up Lu Zhu'er and showed her the baby in the servant's arms.
This sight finally made Li San Niang understand why the Wang family hadn't planned to call the child out to meet people in the first place, and it also confirmed Li San Niang's previous guess.
Everyone in the Wang family knew that this child was not Wang Ziheng's child!
Why do I say that?
Because Li San Niang saw the child quietly in the servant's arms, whose hair was a light brown with slight curls!
That's fine, there are also some Tang Dynasty people in the Central Plains who are naturally curly-haired, and even if they have brown hair, they can just say that their hair color is naturally lighter.
The key issue is the child's eye color!
It's light blue!
While Li San Niang was still in shock, Lu Zhu'er happened to make eye contact with the child. Lu Zhu'er also noticed the child's blue eyes. She had also been to the West Market with Li San Niang and seen all sorts of foreigners.
However, at that time, Dewdrop only glanced at it from afar.
Those foreigners wore their own clothes, had long hair and beards, and were tall with high noses and deep-set eyes. Dewdrop had never seen the color of their eyes.
Upon seeing someone with an eye color she had never seen before, and who happened to be her own younger brother, Dewdrop exclaimed with great surprise, "Mother, Mother, look, my brother's eyes are blue!"
"Mother, look! My brother's eyes are blue!"
Li San Niang responded to Lu Zhu'er's words: "Yes, yes, it is indeed blue, it is blue."
Meanwhile, Wang Ziheng slumped in his chair, turning his head away and not even glancing in their direction. His dejected appearance was rather pitiful.
Li Erxiong was very surprised. He went closer to take a look, and when he saw that they were indeed blue eyes, he couldn't help but look shocked.
However, Brother Li was still sensible and knew how to navigate social situations. After reading it, he quickly regained his composure and didn't say anything more.
Dewdrop, on the other hand, found it all very interesting and said to the child, "Brother, brother, I'm your older sister, my name is Dewdrop, what's your name?"
Dewdrop repeated it twice, but the child didn't respond. Li Sanniang quickly said, "He's still young and can't talk yet. He'll be able to talk after the New Year."
Feeling comforted, Dewdrop turned to Prince Heng, who was looking away, and asked, "Father, what's my brother's name?"
