Chapter 176 Big Gossip
The emperor was trying to smooth things over at this time, and Prince Xiao felt a little resentful.
"Although Prince Jun is Jing'er's elder, the child just lost control for a moment and got a little angry after being teased. There is no need to break his front tooth like this."
Prince Xiao looked at Xiao Lanyuan.
Isn't that infuriating? He is obviously twenty years older than Xiao Lanyuan, but he is of the same generation as him, and even younger than Xiao Lanyuan.
In the past, when Xiao Lanyuan was still very young, at the age of two or three, he had to be extremely respectful to such a young child.
Now that little brat has grown up and is using his status as an elder to bully his son.
It's really infuriating.
"child?"
Xiao Lanyuan glanced at Xiao Yanjing indifferently.
"Have you ever seen someone who is over 20 years old, taller than you, and has had a concubine give birth to a son? Do you call her a child?"
Xiao Lanyuan's words immediately shocked everyone in the audience.
"What?"
"Did I hear correctly? There is a concubine in Prince Xiao's house? And she gave birth to a child?"
A family like theirs is very particular about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. Before the wife gives birth, the concubine is not allowed to get pregnant. If she really gets pregnant, she will be looked down upon by others.
In the future, the eldest son and daughter of a concubine will also be in an awkward position.
The excuse Prince Xiao used most often when he rejected Fu Zhaoning in the past was: he wanted to get married after establishing his career. He didn't want to indulge in love affairs so early, nor did he want to become a father before establishing his career.
Of course, after being pursued by Fu Zhaoning so many times, he was left with nothing but annoyance and insults, and did not even explain as he did at the beginning.
But in the past two or three years, who in the capital doesn't know that Prince Xiao is a clean person and his mansion is also very clean?
Many people regarded Prince Xiao as the perfect candidate for husband.
Including Li Zhiyao, she was so obsessed with Xiao Yanjing because she felt that he would not do anything reckless, unlike many children from aristocratic families who had many concubines and maids around them when they were thirteen or fourteen years old.
But now it is said that Prince Xiao already has a concubine, and she has given birth to a child?
Prince Xiao and Xiao Yanjing both froze.
Prince Xiao looked at his son a little numbly. Xiao Yanjing covered his mouth and wiped the blood with a handkerchief with great difficulty. He had not yet recovered from the blow of having a broken front tooth, and now he had heard such a terrible thing.
His expression changed and he immediately glared at Xiao Lanyuan.
"Uncle Jun Wang, you are the elder, but you can't throw dirty water on me!"
“Dirty water?”
Xiao Lanyuan laughed.
Fu Zhaoning also looked at him in surprise.
Is this true?
She had never heard any news about it before.
It can be said that no one in the capital city knew about this, so how did Xiao Lanyuan know about this? Did he make it up?
But she also felt that there was no need for Xiao Lanyuan to make up such a lie.
"Your concubine is called Jinhua, and she is the eldest maidservant beside your grandmother. When you were little, you often stayed at your grandmother's knees, and were closer to her. You were also familiar with the maidservants beside her. That maidservant should not have the status of a concubine, and is she still serving your grandmother?"
hiss.
After hearing Prince Jun reveal all the people, everyone present believed it to 90%.
If it wasn't true, there was no need for Prince Jun to be so mean to a maid he didn't know. Because if it wasn't true, it would be like harming the maid.
"Your grandmother went to stay in Chaoyun Mountain two years ago, and the maid followed her. She stayed there for half a year. They told others that she was sick and asked her not to return home for the time being and to go back after she had recovered. In fact, she gave birth to a child in Chaoyun Mountain at that time."
With every word Prince Jun spoke, Xiao Yanjing's face turned paler.
Why?
Why does he know it so clearly?
The emperor and the queen also looked at Xiao Yanjing in shock, and their faces darkened.
Because they don’t know about this!
"You naturally took the child back. I remember that Prince Xiao's Mansion bought two servants a year and a half ago. At that time, the woman had just given birth to a child. She said that her family was poor because of the child, so she was sold to Prince Xiao's Mansion, but the child was left at home to be taken care of by the elderly. Sometimes they would take a child to Prince Xiao's Mansion and tell others that it was their child. In fact, the child is your flesh and blood."
After Xiao Lanyuan finished saying this, he looked at Fu Zhaoning again.
Do you realize now how bad your vision was before?
Such a family, such a man, and she is still pursuing him?
Whenever he thought about this incident, Xiao Lanyuan felt a little upset.
Fu Zhaoning blinked.
She could see the contempt for her in his eyes.
Okay, okay, she is blind.
It wasn't her before.
"The Crown Prince hasn't married yet, but his eldest son has already been born. His biological mother is still a maidservant beside my grandmother."
Prince Jun looked at Prince Xiao again and laughed.
"This, is still a child?"
These words were like a slap in the face of Prince Xiao.
He was already shaking with anger.
Seeing Xiao Yanjing's reaction, Prince Xiao knew that what Xiao Lanyuan said was true.
As the head of a family, he didn't even know about this matter! Was everyone in the palace hiding it from him?
Xiao Yanjing also felt a little dizzy.
Why? Even his father didn't know about this, so how could Prince Jun find out?
"Dad, I..."
Xiao Yanjing wanted to speak, but Prince Xiao interrupted him.
This matter cannot be admitted under any circumstances!
Otherwise, how could Xiao Yanjing marry a wife of high status in the future?
Prince Xiao's mansion will also be laughed at by the whole capital, and he can't afford to lose face!
He immediately frowned, "Prince Jun, our Jing'er would never do such a thing. If you didn't make this up to vent your anger on Princess Jun's behalf, then Prince Jun was deceived by someone outside! The maids around my mother are definitely pure and innocent girls. It is absolutely impossible for my Jing'er to run into someone around my grandmother."
"Oh."
Xiao Lanyuan just snorted.
Prince Xiao was about to spit out blood.
But he couldn't help but continue, "Later, I can ask the servants in the mansion to bring out their child, so that you can see how the child looks like my Jing'er. With the status of our Prince Xiao's mansion, how could we let a servant pretend to be the child's father and mother?"
Some people believed what Prince Xiao said.
But more of it is disbelief.
"Hey, so, the old lady in Prince Xiao's mansion really has a maid named Jinhua by her side? And there really is a pair of servants taking care of the children?"
"Servants can bring children to the palace to play? But I have never heard that the rules in Prince Xiao's palace are so lax."
Under such circumstances, most people could understand Prince Xiao's refusal to admit his mistake.
It was precisely because they understood that they believed Xiao Lanyuan's words even more.
