Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Early in the morning the next day, Yan Shengrui went to the morning court meeting.

After telling them what to do today, Ling Jingxuan also dived into his work room.

Knowing he was busy, the kids didn't go disturb him. And Sikong Yu shouldered the job of taking care of the kids. On the court, because of the Xiao family's thing, it still felt not right as always. Yan Shengzhi meant to signal the officials of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs not to call it an end, but all people under Official Gong totally performed like they didn't get him. Because of his son's warning, Official Gong dare not conjecture His Majesty's meaning, while others feigned ignorant was Yan Shengrui's arrangement.

How would it be so easy to get away from if after insulting his wife?

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Before the court, those imperial members and the military officials totally went against those civil officials under Xiao family's lead.

One side insisted severely punishing the Xiao family, while the other side insisted some minor punishment as a warning, after all, the whole thing was only because of a girl, it shouldn't get the whole Xiao family implicated. Then, the whole court fell into a debate. So, it was not appropriate for Yan Shengzhi to let it go now. One could imagine how distorted his face turned now. And Chu Yunhan on the side had never said a word. His identity was too embarrassing.

Whichever side he chose to speak for, it'd arouse His Majesty's suspicious. So, he'd rather speak for neither side. At this time, Yan Sheng'ui suddenly stood out.

Those people who were arguing instantly turned to look at him, after all, this thing was related to his wife. Whatever the result of their debating, it'd need his approval.

"What?"

Knowing that he wouldn't stay silent, Yan Shengzhi had a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth. Actually, the most difficult one to straighten out was not those officials, but this younger brother.

"As you know, Xiaohua's big son Yan Shangqing has caught some kind of strange disease two years ago. His wife has nearly found all famous doctors for him but none could cure him. They even couldn't tell the cause of it. At the banquet two days ago, he heard that my wife has some medical skills, so yesterday, he brought Shangqing to my mansion. Lucky the little kid. My wife found out cause of his disease and now they are receiving a three-month treatment there."

No one understood what he was talking about. What does It have to do with They are discussing?

However, Yan Shengmao and Yan Xiaohua both exclaimed, "really?!"

"Of course. They are at my mansion now."

After throwing them a 'something wrong with your brains?' look, Yan Shengrui held one hand behind, a face of arrogance. Yan Shenghao felt kind of embarrassed, but soon asked excitedly, "No, I mean, can you wife really cure Qing'er?"

After all, Yan Xiaohua only had one son. Now having married with the third prince of the Xi Kingdom, it was impossible to him to have more kids. So, it'd be best to cure Shangqing. Then he could pass his title to him as the legitimate son. Yan Xiaohua on the side also couldn't hide his great excitement. Although he had already known that Ling Jingxuan would treat the kid and Yu and the kid were in their mansion, actually, he even planned to go check on them after the morning court meeting, he totally had no idea that the kid could be completely cured.

And it'd only take him three months? That was his only son. How would he not feel excited? Whoever the kid's mother is, in his heart, that was he and Yu's son.
