The smiles on Su Hanxuan and Yang Ruxue’s faces disappeared because of Xiao Chen’s words. The daughter they missed so much, please come back quickly! The whole family missed her.

“Master, Luan Zhizhou is here.”

A servant ran over to report. With the lesson from last time, Luan Zhizhou asked the servant to inform the Su family first when he came. Otherwise, if his brother-in-law’s family had private matters they did not want to be seen by others, it would not be suitable for him to barge recklessly.

“Please.”

Su Hanxuan quickly asked the servants to invite Luan Qingshan. Xiao Chen was in his arms and was very happy when he heard that his uncle had come. His big, black, gla.s.s-like eyes were so pleased that they curved into crescent moons. His chubby body leaned out the door, and he wanted to run to his uncle immediately.

Su Hanxuan put Xiao Chen on the ground, and the little guy climbed over the threshold with great effort. He ran toward the small corner door with his short legs and shouted in a sweet voice,

“Uncle! Uncle!”

Luan Zhizhou heard Xiao Chen calling him as soon as he entered the small corner door. The worry in his eyes immediately disappeared, and he also lost his dignified appearance in the government office hall. He squatted down and opened his arms to welcome Xiao Fatty Chen. He hugged him tightly.

“Uncle, Xiao Chen misses you.”

Xiao Chen’s round, apple-like face had a sweet smile on it. His big, bright eyes looked at his uncle with a smile. He was good at coaxing people.

“Uncle misses you too. Let Uncle hug you to see if you’ve gained weight again.”

Luan Zhizhou smiled and picked up Xiao Chen. He used his arms to check his weight. Xiao Chen giggled and touched his uncle’s beard with his two chubby hands. He began his favorite beard-pulling game.

Luan Zhizhou didn’t find Xiao Chen annoying at all. He didn’t pull hard but pulled his uncle’s beard to play. He smiled and watched him play with his beard. His eyes were filled with love and tenderness.

Su Hanxuan smiled and walked over to greet Luan Zhizhou. “1

“Brother-in-law.”

“Xiao Chen, come down quickly. Don’t mess around.”

“Nanny, take the young master away.”

Su Hanxuan went to pick up Xiao Chen in Luan Zhizhou’s arms. Xiao Chen buried his face in his uncle’s arms and shouted,

“Uncle! Uncle!”

“It’s fine. Let him play!”

Luan Zhizhou waved his hand, not letting the nanny take Xiao Chen away, and was also reluctant to let him go to the ground.

“Brother-in-law, please come in.”

Su Hanxuan smiled and invited Luan Zhizhou into the house, but Luan Zhizhou didn’t follow him.

“Let’s talk in the guest hall!”

Su Hanxuan saw that his brother-in-law had something important to say and nodded.

“Alright, brother-in-law, please.”

Luan Zhizhou did not put down Xiao Chen. He carried him and followed Su Hanxuan to the guest hall.

After entering the door, Su Hanxuan ordered someone to make tea and serve snacks. Luan Zhizhou let Xiao Chen sit in his arms and put one hand around his waist. He smiled at Su Hanxuan and said,

“Hanxuan, the government office has been bustling these few days, so 1 took the time to come over today.”

Su Hanxuan sensed Luan Zhizhou’s solemn expression as he held the teacup lid and skimmed the tea leaves without saying anything. He asked, “Brother-in-law, are you here for something?”

“There is something.”

Luan Zhizhou nodded and handed Xiao Chen over to the nanny. Xiao Chen was reluctant to leave. Su Hanxuan’s face darkened, and the little guy could only go with the nanny aggrievedly. Su Hanxuan ordered the servant who brought the tea to leave as well.

After the servants left and closed the door, Su Hanxuan looked at Luan Zhizhou and said,

“Brother-in-law, go ahead!”

“There’s something that 1 feel is fishy. Two eunuchs came the day before yesterday and said they were n.o.ble Consort Wan’s people from the palace. They asked me to investigate the birth characters of the three-year-old children in Luo City. They said n.o.ble Consort Wan wanted to pick a child who was fated to be adopted as her son. Although the current Emperor has never had children, they are usually adopted from the royal family. The royal bloodline cannot be mixed, so 1 feel it is not simple for them to find children.”

Luan Zhizhou saw that only he and Su Hanxuan were left in the room, so he told him all the doubts in his heart. Although the two were brothers-in-law, their feelings were similar to real brothers. They appreciated each other and cherished each other’s talents.

“Brother-in-law’s suspicion is reasonable. The royal family pays attention to the purity of the bloodline, so something must be wrong if something abnormal happens. The Wan family has done many evil things in the government, framed loyal officials and good generals, and formed cliques for personal gain. They would not be kind enough to adopt a child and choose the birth characters with such great fanfare.”

After hearing Luan Zhizhou’s words, Su Hanxuan frowned and fell into deep thought. He had the same suspicions as Luan Zhizhou. This Imperial Concubine Wan was equivalent to Su Daji. She seduced the Emperor and harmed the concubines. There were rumors that the Emperor did not have any children because this Imperial Concubine Wan ruthlessly destroyed the dragon seed.

Would such a vicious woman be kind enough to adopt a child from ordinary people? If she wanted to pretend to be pregnant, she should find a pregnant woman of the same age and wait for the pregnant woman to give birth before taking it for herself. When the baby grew up, it would be her son. After all, a three-year-old child already had memories. There would always be estrangement if he knew he was not his biological mother.

So, what was this Imperial Concubine Wan up to?

Luan Zhizhou’s face was full of worry. He looked at Su Hanxuan and sighed.

“Now that the Wan family’s power has surpa.s.sed the imperial power, anyone who dares to go against the Wan family will not have a good ending. 1 don’t dare to reject them openly, but I want to protect the children in Luo City.”

“Brother-in-law, let me think about it.”

Su Hanxuan did not know what to do. Xiao Chen was three years old this year, so he had to think of a foolproof plan for his son.

On the other side, Su Hanxuan and Luan Zhizhou were worried about Imperial Concubine Wan finding a three-year-old child.

Su Qing, who was far away in Mo City, missed her brother and parents. She was afraid they would worry about her, so she returned to the government office and found a brush, ink, and paper to write a letter to her family. According to her schedule, Yang Baton would arrive in Mo City in a few days. She wanted to send a letter of peace to her family.

Su Qing was also anxious. The matter of finding the thousand-year-old Lingzhi had not been settled yet. There were more plains here, and finding a mountain with spiritual energy would be difficult. She just had to see if Yeluchun could help her find the Lingzhi. If she couldn’t, she would have to return to the South.

Ji Shuisheng heard that Su Qing had returned, but he waited for her to return to the house before coming out to look for her. He saw Su Qing sitting behind the official table in the hall of the government office, writing something with a brush in her hand.

From afar, she looked pretty authoritative.

Ji Shuisheng did not disturb Su Qing, who was writing intently. He crossed his arms and leaned against the government office’s main hall door as he quietly looked at the peaceful and demure Su Qing. This feeling was very warm.

Su Qing’s eyebrows furrowed slightly after she finished writing the letter. She had never known what longing was, but now she suddenly missed her family. She was worried about her mother’s illness and her father’s health, missed Xiao Chen calling her sister in a sweet voice, and cut the sweet smell of milk on Xiao Chen’s body…

This might be because blood was thicker than water. Although this body was not hers, the same blood still existed, so she had more to worry about.

“What are you thinking about?”

Ji Shuisheng’s deep voice sounded in the quiet hall. Su Qing looked up and saw the man leaning lazily against the doorpost.

His deep eyes were looking at her gently. The lights at the entrance of the government office shone on him and covered him with a layer of yellow light..
