Furong didn't speak, which seemed to be an agreement. Yuhua, holding the child, pushed Cangman aside with her body and said angrily, "Some are dying of thirst while others are drowning in water. You've had one child after another, and you still want to have more. Why is my life going to be so miserable? I don't have a single one."

Cang Man said smugly, "What's so good about having one brat and then another brat!"

Yu Hua felt even more frustrated after hearing this, "If you don't want him, then give him to me, I want him."

Cang Man quickly snatched the child from Yu Hua's arms, saying something irritating, "No matter how much you hate him, he's still my son. I'll raise him myself." Cang Man then cheekily showed the child to Fu Rong, "Wife, look, this brat looks exactly like Cang Zhuo."

At this moment, Cang Zhuo ran in, "Dad, let me see my little brother, let me see my little brother..."

Cheng Youning, always eager to find out what was going on, also wanted to go inside and take a look. There were so many people around earlier that he hadn't been able to see what Cangzhuo's younger brother looked like.

Cheng Feng raised his hand and pressed down on Cheng Youning's shoulder, scolding her in a low voice, "What about the rules? That's the delivery room, what are you doing going in there?"

Cheng Youning said, "Isn't it over already? Besides, everyone's gone inside! What harm is there in me going in to take a look?"

Cheng Feng said sternly, "Those are all women. You remember this, you are not allowed to go to places you are not allowed to go, or I will ask for family discipline."

Cheng Youning immediately became obedient, "Father is right to reprimand me. I was negligent in manners just now, and I will not dare to do it again."

But he was still determined to see what the newborn baby looked like, so he shouted, "Cang Zhuo, bring your little brother out so I can see him."

"Here he comes! Here he comes!" Cang Zhuo responded excitedly. Soon, he carefully carried his younger brother out with a rosy little face. Behind him followed Cang Man, who was worried about him. Cang Man was beaming with pride. As expected of a man who had become a father again, his complexion was different. Even Cheng Feng, who held a high position, secretly envied him.

Cheng Youning glanced at it and was greatly disappointed. "How can it be so ugly?"

Cang Zhuo was still excited when he asked Cheng Youning, "Big brother, is my little brother ugly?"

Cheng Youning didn't even want to look at him a second time, and said with disdain, "How can he not be ugly? Look at his face full of wrinkles, he looks like a big worm."

Cang Zhuo turned to look at his father, "Dad, is my little brother ugly?"

Shang Xi was already standing at the door. "What do you mean ugly? You all had wrinkles when you were little too. It'll get better in a few days. It's getting chilly, hurry up and bring the child back."

Cang Zhuo obediently carried his younger brother into the house. Cheng Feng asked Cang Man, who was still immersed in the vortex of happiness, "Your wife and child are both safe and sound. What are you going to do with this big-eyed one?"

Cang Man said fiercely, "He's lucky. I'll spare his life for my wife's sake."

Shang Xi waved to Da Yan: "Da Yan, come here, let me see if you're hurt."

Seeing that his life was saved, the child burst into tears and cried out, "Princess Consort! It's like seeing a long-lost relative!"

Shang Xi scolded him, "You're always causing trouble, and you even cry. You're so young, where did you get the nerve to play with fire? You're playing with fire and getting burned, you know that?"

"It was the young master who taught me the skill. I spent two taels of silver to learn it." Big Eyes felt wronged. The two taels of silver he spent on learning the skill was given to him by Cheng Feng. He had to go without food or drink to learn the skill of playing with fire pots.

Cheng Feng's face was full of speechlessness. "I asked you to learn a skill, but you have to learn to play with fire pots? Don't you know what it means to do what you can? You have such a good voice, why don't you sing opera? Wouldn't it be better for you to learn to sing opera than to play with fire pots?"

Big Eyes cried and said, "Opera is low-class, I won't learn it!"

“Singing opera is the lowest of the low, but your acrobatics is the highest of the low? Not only did you burn yourself, you also burned others. Do you know that you almost caused a death today?” Cheng Feng looked at Shang Xi and said with a heart of stone, “Shang Xi, don’t worry about him. This person is beyond redemption. If I ever see him being beaten again, I won’t even look at him. Don’t expect me to clean up his mess.”

Shang Xi was examining Da Yan's wound when she said with a hint of annoyance, "Cheng Feng, this child is also striving to improve. We should give him a chance."

Cheng Feng pulled his son along and said, "Come on, let's go home and let your mother give him a chance."

"You dare!" Shang Xi shouted, and neither Cheng Feng nor Cheng Youning dared to move. Shang Xi put pressure on Cheng Feng: "Cheng Feng, if this child continues to cause trouble like this, it will be harmful to himself and society. We should find a way to settle him down. He is a helpless refugee, and his future is very difficult!" Shang Xi was worried that if this child continued like this, he might not grow up.

Cheng Feng looked at Cheng Youning: "Son, do you need any help?"

Cheng Youning shook his head like a peddler's drum. "My household has plenty of manpower, we don't lack any. The procedures for entering my Crown Prince's residence are very complicated. This person is from a displaced background, first he fell into begging, then he committed fraud on the street, and now he's not good at acrobatics. The Crown Prince's residence will not accept such a person, he can't serve me."

The tiny flame of hope that had just ignited in Big Eyes was instantly extinguished. Was he really that disliked?

Cheng Feng then looked at Cang Man, who was standing at the door, and asked, "Cang Man, do you need any more people under your command?"

Cang Man glanced at Da Yan and shook his head. "This kid's eyes are all darting around. He looks like he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve. I don't need someone like that."

Cheng Feng looked at Da Yan's thin arms and legs and couldn't think of a place to settle him. Under pressure from Shang Xi, Cheng Feng had no choice but to say, "Why don't you come and run errands for me?"

Big Eyes' eyes lit up, and he stopped crying and started laughing. Serving in the Crown Prince's residence and under Cang Man were not as good as serving the Heir Apparent. Although the Heir Apparent disliked him and always gave him a sour face, the Heir Apparent always helped him solve problems. He had a strange fondness for the Heir Apparent.

Cheng Feng added, "Big Eyes, don't be too happy yet. Serving under me isn't so easy. First, I forbid you from making up stories for me. Second, you're not allowed to lie all the time. If you violate either of these rules, I'll kick you out of the palace."

Da Yan quickly knelt down in front of Cheng Feng and kowtowed to express his gratitude. Cheng Feng was extremely unwilling to see him, but he had to give the child food because of Shang Xi's pressure. "You don't need to kneel down to me. I won't take you in unless the Crown Princess gives the word."

The child quickly kowtowed to Shang Xi, who pulled him up and said, "You should be more clever in the future, listen more and learn more, listen to the young master's instructions, and don't make the young master angry."

Wiping away her tears and snot, Da Yan solemnly assured Shang Xi, "I will definitely obey. I will do whatever you and the Prince ask me to do."

Shang Xi patted his head and said, "I'll have the young master send someone to take you to see a doctor later. You're quite badly injured."
