397. Chapter 397 Jin Yangzi Comes to the Gate to Demand a Person

When Princess Consort of Qi said that, Prince Qi and Prince Qing were both stunned.

Prince Qi couldn't help but think, "Ah… have we been discovered? How were we discovered?"

If we hadn't been discovered, how could we have been driven out of the house?

Prince Qing also had some doubts.

Princess Consort of Qi also heard it from Aunt Qiu; the other side said they hadn't yet found out the specific reason.

However, that counterfeit Xu Yue Yao being driven out of Jin Yangzi Residence has already been seen by many.

Jin Yangzi Residence is still under much attention, so any slight movement in the Residence gets noticed.

Although the other side's Residence has so many concubine women, actually no one knows which one they drove out.

But seeing the destitute Chen Dalang family, many recognized them and then spread the news.

Aunt Qiu also heard it from others and promptly reported it to Princess Consort of Qi.

The three analyzed it and thought that most likely Xu Residence didn't know why, realized that Xu Yue Yao was not the concubine they wanted to retrieve, and with the Chen Dalang family being truly troublesome, they simply drove the people out.

So it really is like that…

Prince Qi slapped his thigh and said, "They won't come over to demand Sui Sui from us, will they?"

Prince Qing sneered, "If he dares, come."

Doesn't he even think, is Sui Sui their child?

Just swaggering over with a big grin to demand?

Prince Qi naturally wasn't afraid of Jin Yangzi Residence, and now with Prince Qing joining forces, he was even less fearful.

Thinking of the possibility that the other side might come to demand a child, Prince Qi shook his head, "It probably isn't that far-fetched, right?"

Prince Qi thought that Jin Yangzi Residence wouldn't come to demand a person.

In the end, three days later, Jin Yangzi came to the Gate.

He actually didn't want to come, but if he didn't, his mother would break his leg, and Jin Yangzi was helpless.

So he had to come with a thick‑skinned attitude.

From Jin Yangzi's perspective, among his many children, this one wasn't lacking.

Now that one has a connection with Qi Wang Fu, they should actually nurture the relationship.

Thus, when Jin Yangzi Residence later has needs, they can come to the Gate to ask for favors.

At that time, Wangfu had already formed a bond with the child, couldn't easily let go, so more certainly would be giving benefits.

Jin Yangzi carefully analyzed the situation with his mother, and his mother got extremely angry.

The other side recently, not sure if it's a rebound, but anyway their health improved a lot; although their speech was vague, at least by listening carefully they could understand.

So the old lady started to cause trouble again.

Jin Yangzi was overwhelmed with annoyance, and fearing his mother's attitude, truly went himself, then expelled the people of Jin Yangzi Residence, so he mustered the courage and came.

When Jin Yangzi came to the Gate, Prince Qing was accompanying Sui Sui in class.

The qin master slowly taught Sui Sui, and Sui Sui occasionally tried to play.

The little girl was learning well, with good pitch sense, but…

Beginners rely on technique, lacking emotion, so it sounds a bit stiff.

However, for a child just starting, being able to play at all is already very good.

Prince Qing watched on the side, somewhat curious, looking at his own hands that had become thick‑jointed from years of martial training, finding it hard to imagine how to produce sound on such thin strings.

At that moment, the attendant Wei Zhong came over and whispered to Prince Qing, "Jin Yangzi has arrived."

Prince Qing:?

He hadn't expected the other side to actually dare to come!

So quickly they uncovered the truth of the matter?

How did they investigate it?

Actually, this matter wasn't hard to investigate.

Sui Sui's background hadn't been mentioned by Qi Wang Fu.

However, when Prince Qing returned from Qingzhou, he brought a child, and later that child was taken to Qi Wang Fu; this matter was known by quite a few people.

When Sui Sui's identity was a minor banquet before, some people still discussed this problem.

Therefore, after Xu Lao Fu Ren inquired everywhere and then pressed Chen Dalang's family, the final analysis concluded that this child should be Sui Sui.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Xu Lao Fu Ren searched for Sui Sui's appearance and had someone draw a portrait.

It's unclear how she discerned from such an abstract drawing that it was the child of continuous blessings from her dream.

After the analysis, Xu Lao Fu Ren brazenly had her son come to the Gate to demand a person.

If they don't get a person, Jin Yangzi Residence will become a miserable wreck.

That child's blessings are profound; if they return, they could still rescue them!

After hearing the attendant's words, Prince Qing nodded, "Brother Prince Qi will handle it; you just keep an ear out for any movement. In the coming days, protect the young princess well."

As a close attendant, Wei Zhong naturally knew Sui Sui's background.

From being the young princess of Qi Wang Fu to becoming the young princess of Prince Qing's Residence, although it hasn't been publicly announced, it's not being kept secret either.

This matter is known by many people.

To protect Sui Sui's safety, Prince Qing also assigned several guards to accompany her daily.

There are two female guards and four male guards.

Prince Qing had been guarding against Jin Yangzi Residence from early on, as well as against Chen Dalang's family still remaining in Jing Cheng.

A rabbit that gets agitated will bite; Prince Qing felt that being extra cautious never hurts.

Prince Qing didn't interfere much in this matter, and since this is Qi Wang Fu, it's not his place to decide.

At this moment, Prince Qi was smiling warmly while receiving Jin Yangzi.

Jin Yangzi, though rakish, still retained a little bit of decency.

Regarding the matter of coming to claim a child, at first he was indeed rather embarrassed.

He didn't state it outright, but hinted around the bend.

As a result, Prince Qi seemed not to have understood and simply didn't follow up.

Jin Yangzi, getting impatient, stopped hinting and said plainly: "I heard that the Wangfu's young princess was previously brought back by Prince Qing from Qingzhou. What a coincidence, isn't it? I had a fleeting marriage with Chen, and at that time we had a child, which happened to be the young princess of our residence. Our servant messed up the matter and confused the child. Now that the truth has been uncovered, I think a family's own child should be raised by its own family, and it's best to place her beside her biological parents. So I came to take the child back. Prince, may I have you call my daughter out?"

Prince Qi had previously not followed up precisely to make things difficult for Jin Yangzi.

If you have something to say, say it directly; a fool isn't clever, still learning from those people, playing the roundabout tricks.

Do you understand it clearly?

Now Jin Yangzi was forced to speak plainly, and Prince Qi nodded with a smile: "My dear, it is indeed true that the Qing Wang Younger Brother brought her back from Qingzhou, but perhaps you misheard or misunderstood something? That child is the biological offspring of the Qing Wang Younger Brother and the Princess Consort. Due to various reasons, she was stolen, and now, after much effort, she has been recovered. I and the Qing Wang Younger Brother are discussing how to have the child recognize her lineage and return to Prince Qing's residence as a young princess."

Jin Yangzi:?

He remarked that he is neither foolish nor deaf, so how could he still not understand Prince Qi's words?

How did his child become Prince Qing's child?

Wasn't Prince Qing's child gone long ago?
