Chapter 318 Let’s Get the Birthday Banquet Over with
Madam Zhan stood up and said, "General Xiang, you are a general and you spend little time in Kyoto. You don't have a backbone in such a huge mansion. Can you rest assured that the child is alone?"
Xiang Minghou paused slightly.
"And Prime Minister Qian, you are a Buddhist and you won't stay in Kyoto for long. Minister Qian has never married, so he probably doesn't know how to take care of children." Madam Zhan said again.
Qian Fanji frowned: "Zhan Chi has never had a family, so he is not suitable to take care of children."
"Although my son can't do it, my husband and I can. When Pangtuan comes to our Zhan family, my husband and I will take good care of her and teach her music, chess, calligraphy and painting." Mrs. Zhan felt that she was sure to win.
Qian Fanji frowned even deeper.
"Madam Zhan, what you said is not right." Qian Fu was displeased.
"But I'm telling the truth. Taking care of a child requires help."
"Daughter-in-law of the Zhan family, my Gu family is good. Gu Shuo's parents are both here. It will definitely be better for you to go to our Gu family than your Zhan family. What's more, the little girl will definitely be willing to go home with me." Old Gu continued.
Madam Zhan turned her head and took a few glances. "Mr. Gu, let alone your Gu family, there are too many people. And I heard that the Gu family removed Gu Shuo from the family tree a few years ago. Wouldn't it be ridiculous for Fatty to grow up with Gu Shuo?"
"It's just removing the family tree. We can just move it back tomorrow. It's no big deal." Old Gu didn't take it to heart at all.
“…”
Is the Gu family tree made of paper?
Move at will.
"Mr. Gu has many children and grandchildren, and you know how many people are thinking of him. He brought a little kid back. I was afraid that my granddaughter would not be able to come out." Madam Zhan dared to confront anyone for her granddaughter.
Old Gu was so angry that he blew his beard. He had thought that the daughter-in-law of the Zhan family was a virtuous woman, but he didn't expect that she would be such a difficult person to deal with if he provoked her.
"Anyway, I'm putting this out there. If the little girl doesn't go home with me, I'll go wherever she goes."
"Mr. Gu, you can't be unreasonable."
"What's the reason? The fusion of her blood with my grandson's is the reason."
"It's not just your family that's involved in this blood thing."
“…”
Still four...!
Blood test to identify relatives only makes things more complicated.
A group of people in the hall were arguing with each other, and no one wanted to give in. They didn't come to a conclusion until the sun went down.
Dean Chen was also unable to make a decision on this matter. The child belonged to four families, and one child could not be divided into four parts.
"Otherwise, let's do this first. Look, the sun has already set. Today is the Emperor's birthday banquet. Each of you is an important person. You can't not attend the banquet."
By this time, all the officials had probably taken their seats, but none of them cared about the birthday banquet.
Xiang Minghou held Ye Qianning and sat still, in no mood to attend the birthday party.
Qian Fu and Qian Fan Ji didn't move either. The birthday party was not as important as the children.
Zhan Yi, his wife Zhan, and Zhan Chi did not move either. The old couple's lifelong hope was to have grandchildren. Without children, how could they have the mood to attend the birthday party?
"If you don't let my great-granddaughter come home with me today, you can't go anywhere." Mr. Gu didn't have to attend the birthday party, and he felt like he had caught something when he heard this.
Everyone rolled their eyes, as if no one wanted to go.
"Mr. Gu, envoys from the three kingdoms are coming to celebrate your birthday, and all officials have brought their families to celebrate. Everyone present is either a minister or a relative of the emperor. The emperor will definitely blame you for not attending." Dean Chen stood up from his seat. "Everyone, please pack up and get the birthday banquet over with first, then we can discuss other things."
Everyone present was feeling heavy-hearted and unwilling to move at all—
