Jiang FengMian stood up, "Let's talk when we get back."

Madam Yu, "Talk about what? Get back to where? I'll be talking about it right here. I have nothing to be ashamed of, anyways! Jiang Cheng, come over here."

Jiang Cheng was stuck between his father and his mother. After a moment of hesitation, he moved to his mother's side. Holding his shoulders, Madam Yu pushed him forward for Jiang FengMian to see, "Sect Leader Jiang, it seems that some things I have to say. Look carefully— this, is your own son, the future head of Lotus Pier. Even if you frown upon him just because I was the one who bore him, his surname is still Jiang! ... I don't believe for one second that you haven't heard of how the outside people gossips, that Sect Leader Jiang has still not moved on from a certain Sanren though so many years have passed, regarding the son of his old friend as a son of his own; they're speculating if Wei Ying is your..."

Jiang FengMian shouted, "Yu ZiYuan!"

Madam Yu shouted as well, "Jiang FengMian! Do you think that anything will change just because you raised your voice?! Do you think that I don't know you?!"

What was she going to say when her own kids were watching !!!

Lan QiRen couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Is this the way to talk in front of the kids?". He couldn't contain the anger in his mind. As a peer of Jiang FengMian, he was aware of the unstabilised life of the Jiang - Yu couple and rumors about Wei WuXian. But the thought of Madam Yu throwing that at Wei Wuxian never crossed his mind.

"For a strong cultivator she has zero dignity", Nie HuiSang whispered, making sure it never reached Jiang Cheng, Knowing that the topic was still fresh for both Jiang Cheng and Wei WuXian.

"It's not true" they heard Wei Wuxian whispering to himself.

The three kids present there were surprisingly quiet. Didn't they comprehend the topic? Of course they did. None of them was too young to not know the underlying meaning of Madam Yu's words. But they also knew it was not their job to make a comment whether it's true or not.

The two debated the issue outside. On the way, Madam Yu's angered voice was louder and louder. Jiang FengMian argued as well, suppressing his rage. Jiang Cheng stood blankly where he was. A while later, he glanced at Wei WuXian, and suddenly turned to leave as well.

Wei WuXian, "Jiang Cheng!"

Jiang Cheng gave no answer. With a few steps, he had already turned the corner of the hallway. Wei WuXian could only roll out of bed and chase over, dragging with him his stiff, sore body, "Jiang Cheng! Jiang Cheng!"

Jiang Cheng walked forward without a care for anything else. Wei WuXian was so mad that he threw himself over and clenched his neck, "Answer me if you hear me! Are you looking for a fight?!"

Jiang Cheng spat, "Go back to your bed and lie down properly!"

"Did uncle believe her words", Jin Ling peeked at his uncle's face to scan for any change.

"Do these elders know that they are hurting their kids?"

Wei WuXian, "I can't do that, we need to get things straight! You really mustn't listen to that messed-up nonsense."

Jiang Cheng spoke coldly, "What messed-up nonsense?"

Wei WuXian, "Those things dirty your mouth even if you just say them. Both of my parents are real people in this world. I don't want others assigning me to other households!"
