"You are so foolish. When will I ever hold my grandchild?"
"Father, you are thinking too much," Qi Xiaomian replied helplessly.
"Hmph! Stubborn!"
"Besides," Qi Xiaomian retorted, "you should consider my elder brother first. There is a proper order of seniority; since he is unmarried, it’s not my turn yet."
"You still use your brother as an excuse! He’s just a Silly Beast, and he’ll remain that way for life. Do you know how much effort I’ve put into teaching him? If I have to find another Silly Beast and start from scratch, it would surely take my life!"
"Therefore, it’s more cost-effective to urge you to hurry up. Your lifespan and your brother’s are both long, while yours may be extended a bit, but the work you do is dangerous. If you have a child soon, whether you live or die won’t matter much; the younger generation will take care of filial duties for you."
"Ha! What kind of father curses his own son to die? With so many times calling me 'father,' I must be afraid."
"Who told you to follow your uncle around all day? Now I feel like everyone else in this courtyard is closer to me than you are."
"Old man, you're getting more demanding; your possessiveness is growing stronger."
Father was acting up again, insisting on discussing this every day. Occasionally, Qi Xiaomian would gain the upper hand but still had to coax him for quite a while.
This kind of life was somewhat amusing, yet he also looked forward to this daily debate.
When Yong Huai arrived, the guards outside the Prince's Mansion had already received orders and immediately cleared the way. Observing the faces of these Warriors, Yong Huai noticed they were tinged with a faint black aura.
He felt an impulse to drive away the black aura immediately but had to suppress it for now, cursing silently and hoping the plan would progress quickly. He wished for Ling Qian to die soon, and if possible, take the Ling Family with him.
As for the Second Prince, he had plotted everything himself and could not blame others. There were plenty of princes in the Court; what difference did it make if one more died?
In this whole affair, the Second Prince seemed the most innocent. But who told him to marry Ling Qian for his own benefit? In a marriage, if there are gains, there must also be shared burdens.
Just as he stepped through the door, Guo Steward approached him.
After several moments of anxious deliberation, he leaned close to Yong Huai's ear and whispered, "A few more people have died in the manor. Since yesterday, I've been coughing severely."
Yong Huai raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Was this a plea for help?
Since the other party was seeking assistance, Yong Huai took the opportunity to inquire further. "What about Ling Jiudao? The Emperor asked him to develop medicine; I waited for him today but never saw him. In such urgent matters, why isn’t he focused? What is he doing now?"
Guo Steward replied cautiously, "The Consort of the Second Prince is asleep. When I arrived unexpectedly and barged in loudly, I woke her up but couldn’t hear what she said clearly. After that, they started arguing."
By the time the Second Prince arrived, he scolded both of them before taking Ling Yuan Shou into his study for discussions. They had been in there ever since without coming out.
Yong Huai spoke urgently, "What is there to discuss? Making medicine is what matters most; take me to find him now."
Guo Steward immediately changed direction and walked to a secluded spot before speaking up. "Lord Yong, do you still have that Revitalization Talisman? If it's convenient, could you sell me one? I know it's precious and that my status doesn't warrant its use, but right now, I just feel quite unwell."
Before he could finish speaking, Guo Steward received a talisman. Yong Huai personally applied it for him, and in an instant, he felt much more refreshed.
