Chapter 322 Jin Cheng Wants to Give Birth to a Cuju Team
Several good sisters were here to talk to Xu Wan, but Madam He was missing. Ever since He Zheng severed his father-son relationship with Minister He, the two He and Zong families had cut off contact.
Now everyone in the capital knows that Luo Jingfeng and Zong Zhao are together, and Minister He's worries have vanished. This is very embarrassing. If he reconciles with He Zheng and the Zong family at this time, it would seem like he is trying to curry favor with them.
Mrs. He nodded at them from a distance, with an apologetic look on her face, but she did not approach them to chat with them.
Xu Wan nodded back at her, but did not take the initiative to speak. She could understand the He family's previous considerations, but that did not mean she could let bygones be bygones. These were two different things.
Madam Shen sighed beside her, "Relationships in the capital are unpredictable. People will come and go. Just get used to it and don't take it to heart."
Xu Wan nodded and smiled: "That's what my sister said."
While the adults were talking calmly, only the little devil said unhappily: "When will the He family come to apologize to my brother?"
The three elders looked at him at the same time, and Mrs. Wei asked, "Jincheng, do you want He Zheng to return to the He family?"
Zong Jincheng said in surprise: "I don't want to."
"Then why ..."
Zong Jincheng sniffed and said, "He should have apologized. This is a matter of attitude. He Zheng's father is too unreasonable. I have never seen him bow his head."
Xu Wan patted his shoulder and said, "As you said, I have never seen Minister He bow his head, so I don't think there will be an apology."
"He Zheng is his son after all, does he really not care at all?" The little devil was puzzled.
Madam Shen added calmly, "But he has many sons. Even if we don't count the illegitimate sons, He Zheng has three legitimate brothers."
Zong Jincheng curled his lips and said, "As expected, if you have too many children, you won't love one person any more." He turned to Xu Wan and said seriously, "Mom, can you have fewer children in the future? Just one, or one more will be fine."
Xu Wan's face instantly turned red.
Ever since Zong Zhao came back, her mother-in-law was very considerate and never asked about the consummation of the marriage. As a result, she never expected that the first time she was induced to give birth, it was by this brat.
Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Shen burst into laughter.
Xu Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Since you are afraid of competition for your favor, you should have advised me not to have any children."
"Oh, that won't work," Zong Jincheng tilted his head and said, "I still want a brother. When he grows up, I'll let him learn martial arts from Dad. One of us will learn literature and the other martial arts. I'll help him quarrel and he'll help me fight. Perfect!"
"Hahahaha..." Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Shen laughed even louder.
Xu Wan's forehead was throbbing with veins: "I knew you were up to no good. Are you asking for a brother? You just want a thug who has a good relationship with you and listens to you, so that you can enslave him to help you fight, right?"
Zong Jincheng's eyes widened as he defended himself: "Mom, don't blame me. How can you call it slavery? This is a fair exchange. It's fair. I'll help him quarrel, too!"
Xu Wan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Forget about it. Go away."
After being pushed away, Zong Jincheng came up again and said, "Sister, sister is fine too. Girls are better at martial arts and can catch others off guard."
"Hahahaha!" Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Shen laughed even more wildly.
Xu Wan couldn't stand it any longer, so she grabbed his ear and said, "If you want to fight, go practice martial arts by yourself, don't always think about your brothers and sisters! No, I won't give birth, stay away."
She was so mad. Having a baby is such a serious matter, but this kid treated it like a piece of cake. He even urged her to give birth. What a waste.
Mrs. Shen said jokingly, "Jincheng, I think you should stop being angry with your mother. If you really want one, wait a few years until you get married and have children of your own. Give birth to a Cuju team for him, and then give it to your father to help you train. Every member of the team will be able to help you fight."
Zong Jincheng's thoughts were immediately opened!
Each Cuju team needs sixteen people. In his mind, a row of sons stood behind him. All of them were martial arts masters. Not only could they play Cuju with him, but they could also help him fight. All of them were handsome and cool, and they all called him dad in unison.
Wuhu! You look so awesome!
The little devil praised: "Auntie, this is a good suggestion! When I grow up, I will give birth to a football team!"
Xu Wan slapped herself on the head.
You little bastard, I was just joking, but you took it seriously. If you follow your request, you probably won't be able to get married in the future. Who will stay at home every day to give birth to your children?
Because Zong Jincheng was talking nonsense, the conversation at this table was unusually lively. From time to time, officials' wives would come over to greet them, and after they left, they would continue chatting.
Many people came one after another. Xu Wan gradually became numb and her professional smile became more and more skilled. It was not until someone exclaimed that they realized that the people who came this time were different.
"It's the wife of the Duke of Protectorate." Someone exclaimed.
When the little devil heard the three words "Duke of the Protectorate", he looked up subconsciously and saw that the person had a bad face and it was obvious that he was not here to say hello.
Everyone greeted her politely, but Mrs. Luo was very arrogant. Not only did she ignore them, she just ignored everyone and stared at the little devil closely.
"Are you our Duke's newly adopted son, Zong Jincheng?"
After Mrs. Luo knew that Luo Jingfeng had adopted a son, she originally thought that it was just a superficial effort made by Luo Jingfeng and Zong Zhao after joining forces. But who would have thought that Luo Jingfeng would smile every time he mentioned this kid and even specially made a yew bow to give to him.
The yew wood was so rare that even her legitimate sons couldn't get it. How could Zong Jincheng get it?
Mrs. Luo has always known that Luo Jingfeng attaches great importance to legitimate and illegitimate children. He has never taken care of the illegitimate children in his family, but he values legitimate children very much. But now a child has appeared who is more important than his legitimate children. What does this mean?
Mrs. Luo's first reaction was: Could this child be Luo Jingfeng's biological son? He wanted to divorce his wife and remarry in order to make this child his legal son?
Otherwise, how could there be a father in this world who doesn't love his son? Luo Jingfeng has great power and influence, and he doesn't need to please anyone.
The little devil didn't know what she was thinking, he just felt that this woman had a fierce look on her face and didn't look like a good person, he said with a sullen face: "It was Luo Jingfeng's will, I didn't acknowledge him as my adoptive father."
"Oh? Why don't you admit it?" Mrs. Luo narrowed her eyes and watched his reaction carefully. She had heard earlier that the Duke had a woman he liked before he got married, but he did not marry that woman, but married her instead.
More than a decade has passed, and she still couldn't find out who that woman was. But the appearance of Zong Jincheng made her feel a sense of crisis again. She wanted to see if this boy of unknown mother was Luo Jingfeng's illegitimate son.
Zong Jincheng narrowed his eyes and smiled falsely: "Of course... I hate him."
Mrs. Luo: “…”
Suddenly I felt that all my doubts were in vain.
The Duke is so good to him, yet he still doesn't know what's good for him. I guess he won't live for many days.
