Once this bad news came out, the manor was silent. Regardless of what their thoughts were, whenever they went out to meet people, there was bound to be some sadness on their faces.

No funerals were held for babies at that age. For commoner families, it was already good if a coffin was provided. Even wealthy families would at most invite someone to perform the rituals in private then find a place for the body to be buried. The ancestral grave wasn’t even to be mentioned.

But at this moment, another news came out, dispelling the gloominess brought by the death of the little princess. The entire Jin Wang Manor was shocked.

It turned out that Lady Su wasn’t favoured for no reason. Back then, when she was still in her boudoir, she already had a relationship with His Highness Jin Wang. It’s just that His Highness was busy with the war affairs and had neglected her settlement. By the time he realized it and sent someone to take her into the manor, Lady Su had disappeared. Over the years, Jin Wang had been searching for her in secret, but it was unexpected that Lady Su actually entered the manor and became a wet nurse for the little princess. The two then rekindled their relationship.

And Lady Su’s son wasn’t a bastard, but of His Highness’s seed.

He was the real young master of Jin Wang Manor.

Even though he wasn’t a di son but a shu son, he was still a descendent of the imperial family.

The news was so overwhelming that people were utterly dumbfounded without much other reaction.

Of course, there were some loopholes but no matter how big the loophole was, it couldn’t change the truth. It was impossible for Jin Wang to falsify the blood of the imperial family, so this must be true.

No wonder!

Those present at the scene that day suddenly came to a realization-

No wonder Jin Wang had such a reaction when someone bribed Lady Su’s sister-in-law to bring out a random man to frame her! He was the real father of the child, yet someone had brought a fake to replace him! It would’ve been strange if he wasn’t angry.

Among these people are Side Consort Liu, Consort Jin, and Side Consort Xu. Especially Side Consort Xu. This realization was like a heavy hammer hitting her face, making her feel like a jumping clown.

Su Yaoniang and Jin Wang both knew the truth, yet she thought of herself as clever and made such a scene. The act had fallen through, and she was implicated. Then someone comes along and tells her that she was no better than an actor, but was a joke making a fool of herself!

Consort Jin thought deeper to the crux of the matter, but despite how hard she thought, some things simply failed to connect. But this did not prevent her from knowing one thing. Hu Mingyu and the little princess’s death must have had something to do with it.

She couldn’t help recalling the situation when Jin Wang had taken Hu Mingyu back to the manor.

Could it be that he had taken the wrong person? The woman should’ve been Su Yaoniang, but it suddenly changed to Hu Mingyu. But this also didn’t make sense. Jin Wang should know who he had slept with. How could he be mistaken about this kind of matter?

Consort Jin thought for an entire day but she still couldn’t think it through so she stopped thinking about it anymore. Seemingly out of nowhere, Jin Wang Manor suddenly had an eldest son. This was the truth.

Mommy Zhou was like an ant in a pot, pacing back and forth in front of Consort Jin.

“How can this be good? The momentum of that woman surnamed Su was already hard to suppress, and now this happens. After having a relationship with His Highness, she even gave birth to a child. Why did we have to choose her to enter the manor in the first place? Everything would’ve been fine if we didn’t do that. Now that we’ve invited a fox spirit into the manor, in the future…”

Where would Consort Jin stand in the future?

Most of Siyi Courtyard thought like this, so they worked with extra cautiousness these days that even their steps became lighter. Consort Jin hadn’t thought much about this before, but now she couldn’t help feeling a sense of unpleasantness in her heart.

She frowned and said, “Enough. This type of thing can only be said before me. And this is a good thing. Jin Wang Manor finally has a young master.”

Actually, it may not be only him soon since there could be another in that person’s belly.

Seeing the face of the consort, Mommy Zhou restrained herself and didn’t say this.

Consort Jin arrived at Rongxi Courtyard.

Jin Wang wasn’t there. Yaoniang and Xiaobao were in the eastern side of the courtyard. Xiaobao, with someone assisting him, was walking back and forth with his small steps. Yaoniang was lying on the big Kang, talking to Hong Chou, while smiling and looking at her son from time to time.

Hearing that the consort was coming, Yaoniang was stunned for a moment before she hurried off the Kang.

Before she could go out to welcome her, Consort Jin came in.

With a smile on Consort Jin’s face, she helped Yaoniang up who was about to salute, “It’s inconvenient for your body, so you don’t need to salute.”

Inconvenient?

Yaoniang glanced at her still flat belly, silently accepting the inconvenience.

“My visit is long overdue, but you also know how my body is. When it gets cold, it’s really easy to feel uncomfortable so this visit was delayed until now. Today, I dropped by to see you and also to take a look at Xiaobao.”

Speaking of Xiaobao, Consort Jin hesitated. She didn’t know what Xiaobao’s formal name was. Then she thought, such a young baby probably doesn’t even have a formal name.

“Thank you, consort.”

The two arrived in front of the Kang. Consort Jin sat down first and Yaoniang, who was about to remain standing, was dragged by her to also sit.

Consort Jin then turned her gaze on Xiaobao and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect such a small child would be able to walk.”

Yaoniang lowered her head and said, “He was making a clamour about wanting to walk, so this concubine let him try”

Consort Jin nodded and her eyes fell on Yaoniang. “You’ve worked hard. On behalf of His Highness, thank you.”

“Your Highness, this concubine isn’t worthy, isn’t worthy.”

“This is what you deserve. It’s just unexpected that His Highness and I only found out recently that you gave birth to and raised such a large child.”

Yaoniang lowered her face as if ashamed.

After that, Consort Jin continued to chat with Yaoniang then only left after leaving behind a few boxes of health supplements like ginseng, bird’s nest and fleece flower root. Yaoniang was about to get up to send her off but was pressed down, saying that her body was inconvenient. In the end, Yaoniang could only sit there.

After Consort Jin left, the room was silent.

“The consort…” said Hong Fei, but stopped after seeing Hong Chou winking at her.

Yaoniang returned to her senses and said with a smile, “Why are you all just standing there? Why is Xiaobao not walking anymore?”

Hearing this, Xiaobao quickly took two steps.

The few maids gathered around to play with him again before the atmosphere finally improved.
