I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Jia Cheng looked at the sky outside and said to Madam Xing in a baby voice, "Mom, I want to have dinner with Dad."

Mrs. Xing lovingly held Jia Cheng's delicate little face in her hands and couldn't help but kiss him, "Shuanbao, you can call me mother when you are with me, but you should call me Madam in front of outsiders, so that others will think you know the rules.

You can't call me dad, you have to call me master, remember?"

Mrs. Xing dotes on Jia Cheng very much. It is because of this love that she doesn't want him to be laughed at and is willing to take more effort to teach him.

Although calling them father and mother is a close term, that is how common people call them. In a big family like theirs, they call them parents, master and madam.

They are the Han army banner and do not need to be addressed by the Manchus, otherwise Madam Xing would have taught Jia Cheng to call them Ama and E'niang.

Mrs. Xing had always believed that her son was not stupid, but was just slow to speak. Now that her son had spoken, her suspicions were confirmed.

Her son's background was extraordinary. He must have come to the mortal world to transcend tribulations, otherwise how could he have endured so many hardships?

Jia Baoyu was born with a broken stone in his mouth, which was called a phoenix egg. Mrs. Xing looked down on the fool who caught rouge during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony.

Mrs. Xing has always had a strong filter for Jia Cheng, thinking that he will have great fortune in the future, and that it is Lady Jia and others who have no vision and mistakenly take stones for precious jade.

Mrs. Xing liked her well-behaved, cute, beautiful and fairy-like son more and more. Then, a childish voice suddenly appeared in her ears.

[I really like my mother in this life. It was worth it for me to be born into her belly. Otherwise, my mother would have lived a lonely life without children.]

Mrs. Xing looked down at her son who was speaking and asked, "Shuanbao, what did you say?"

Jia Cheng looked up in confusion, "Madam, I didn't say anything."

[Mother is so confused, what’s wrong with her? Is she sick? It’s a pity that the magic herbs from heaven cannot be brought down, otherwise they could be used to treat Mother’s illness.

Choosing to reincarnate as a mortal means I have to bear the consequences of not having magical powers. Otherwise, I could send a message to heaven and ask Taishang Laojun for some elixirs. Sigh. ]

The more Mrs. Xing listened, the more frightened she became. She discovered that Jia Cheng did not open his mouth, but her ears rang with Jia Cheng's voice. She was a little surprised, but she quickly calmed herself down.

Madam Xing dismissed all the maids and servants, leaving only the two of them in the room. Madam Xing asked tentatively: "Shuanbao, did you learn to speak today? Or have you been able to speak before?"

"Ma'am, I used to say it, but I couldn't say it."

Jia Cheng lowered his head in disappointment, but muttered in his heart: [It’s all my fault that I didn’t drink the soup given by Meng Po when I was reincarnated. I came to the earth with the memories of heaven. How can this mortal body bear the memories of the gods? It was a real mistake.

It’s all because of Taibai Jinxing who fooled me, otherwise I would have brought a magic weapon with me. With a treasure to protect myself, I wouldn’t have been laughed at by others. ]

Mrs. Xing observed Jia Cheng and saw that he did not speak, but his voice continued to flow into her ears. She confirmed that her son was indeed extraordinary, a true god from heaven.

Mrs. Xing was very happy. She thought how could she be so lucky to have a fairy boy as her child. She heard him say that she was destined to have no children. If it weren't for this fairy boy, she might not have had children in her life.

Mrs. Xing hugged Jia Cheng tightly, tears flashing in her eyes. This was not only her son, but also her salvation and her life.

She made up her mind that no matter whether her son was a god in his previous life, he was her son in this life and she would do her best to protect him.

The system saw that Mrs. Xing's favorability had increased by another 3 degrees, and couldn't help but click its tongue twice, "Cheng'er, you are such a liar. You even gave yourself a godly identity. Why don't you go to heaven?"

I originally thought you were honest and simple-minded, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless and really know how to create a persona for yourself. ]

Jia Cheng glanced at Madam Xing and controlled his favorability towards her to below 60. Then he complained to the system in his mind, "Little system, if you could give me more help, I wouldn't have put on the skin of a god."

Who am I working so hard for? It's for you, so that you can meet more people with great luck. I have paid so much for you, and yet you still slander me! ]

Jia Cheng accused the system in his heart at the top of his lungs. The system felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I just said it casually."

[Humph, you just said something that hurt the fragile heart of a young boy.]

The system felt guilty for a moment, and then made a promise to Jia Cheng, "Cheng'er, when my mall opens, I will buy you something nice."

Jia Cheng knew that the system was just talking nonsense and was unwilling to pay any attention to him. He hugged Madam Xing and enjoyed his mother's warm embrace.

Although Mrs. Xing was curious about why she could no longer hear her son's inner voice, she had gained enough today, so she did not force it, thinking that the inner voice of the gods could not always be heard.

In the evening, Mrs. Xing asked Wang Shanbao, the housekeeper, to invite Jia She over.

Jia She was fooling around with Qiu Tong in the study. When he heard his lady's invitation, he was not willing to leave his peaceful place.

However, Wang Shanbao's wife insisted, saying that his wife had something important to discuss with him.

Jia She pushed Qiu Tong away impatiently and was unwilling to go to the main courtyard, but he still had to give Mrs. Xing a little face.

He grumbled to himself, he is already so old but still trying to win favor like a little girl.

Qiu Tong was also cursing in her heart, thinking that this lady was so narrow-minded that she was competing for favor with a maid like her. What a lowly creature.

Jia She reluctantly came to Lady Xing's room and saw Jia Cheng sitting in Lady Xing's arms being fed snacks. He snorted in dissatisfaction, "He is so old, and you are still holding him to feed him. It's true that a loving mother spoils her son.

He was originally a mute fool, and with the education you gave him, he won’t even be able to take care of himself in the future.”

Jia She did not have the slightest fatherly love for Jia Cheng. When the child was just born, Jia She was full of expectations for him, after all, he was his own legitimate son.

But unexpectedly, the child remained silent when Jia Baoyu opened his mouth and asked the maid for the rouge on his lips. He looked slow and stupid all day long.

Only then did Jia She and his wife realize that something was wrong, and they quickly called a doctor from outside to see him. The doctor said that Jia Cheng was born with dementia and had dropped a lot of book bags. In summary, the child was a fool and could not speak.

Jia She was often ridiculed because of this child with congenital defects. There were even rumors that he had done too many evil things and that was the retribution for his legitimate son.

Moreover, Jia Cheng was born together with Jia Baoyu, who was doted on and everyone said that he was a man of great fortune.

When it comes to Jia Cheng, everyone will shake their heads and avoid him, as if Jia Cheng is some dirty thing.

This sharp contrast made Jia She's already little fatherly love gradually disappear. After being ridiculed by everyone, Jia She developed a disgust for Jia Cheng and also felt extremely disgusted with Madam Xing. After all, the child came out of her belly.

At this time, Jia She missed his original wife, Madam Zhang, very much. Madam Zhang's father was the tutor of the deposed prince. He had been the deposed prince's companion and had a lot of contact with the tutor. Only then could he, as a military general's family, marry Zhang, who came from a scholarly family.

After Zhang got married, she and Jia She got along very well and loved each other very much.

Zhang was a virtuous woman and gave birth to a handsome son, Jia Hu. Unfortunately, Jia Hu died in an accident. Zhang worked hard to give Jia She another legitimate son, Jia Lian.

After Zhang left, Jia She became ridiculous and was implicated in the incident of deposing the crown prince. He gradually became obsessed with beauty and lost all sense of decency.

Jia She had feelings for Madam Zhang. After all, the two of them supported each other and went through difficult times together.

Relatively speaking, Jia She did not like Mrs. Xing. Mrs. Xing came from a humble family and was a very selfish person.

Even Mrs. Xing's meagre dowry was saved up by the whole family's efforts. After marriage, Mrs. Xing was still greedy and stingy, which made everyone laugh at her behind her back.

Not to mention Jia She's brother-in-law Xing Dequan, who often came to Rongguo Mansion to beg for money and complained about Mrs. Xing's ruthlessness.

After hearing so many complaints about Mrs. Xing, Jia She became even more disdainful of her behavior and thought she had bad character.

Jia She was not satisfied with his wife at all. Moreover, Mrs. Xing never became pregnant, so Jia She treated her even more coldly.

After Mrs. Xing became pregnant with Jia Cheng, Jia She's attitude towards her warmed up a little, but unexpectedly she gave birth to a little fool.

The more Jia She looked at Jia Cheng, the angrier he became. He looked so smart, but how could he be a fool? If he was a smart legitimate son, he would have been able to give his son some love and care.

Mrs. Xing couldn't stand Jia She's cold eyes when he looked at Jia Cheng, and complained to Jia She with some dissatisfaction: "Master, the child is not mine alone. How many times have you taken care of Shuanbao since he was born?

He has grown up so big, and you, as a father, have never held him once. Now you are still speaking ill of him, saying that he is a dumb fool. This child is clearly a god who has descended to earth."

Madam Xing nudged Jia Cheng, signaling him to speak to Jia She. Jia Cheng cooperated very well, walked to Jia She obediently, made an awkward gesture to him, and greeted him in a childish voice, "Master, your son greets you."

Jia She was startled by Jia Cheng's behavior and looked at Madam Xing with suspicion, "Is Jia Cheng okay now? Can he speak now?"

Madam Xing glared at Jia She with resentment, "Master, Shuanbao can actually speak, but people spread rumors, and that quack doctor misdiagnosed him, so they said Shuanbao was a little fool who couldn't speak.

Look how smart he is, and he greets you very properly. People say that noble people speak slowly, and people who are going to have great prospects in the future will not speak so early.

Poor Shuanbao has been misunderstood for so long, and you, Master, are helping outsiders to slander your own son."

Jia She's eyes lit up, and he pulled Jia Cheng to his side, asking carefully, "Brother Cheng, have you always been able to speak? Why didn't you say anything before?"

Jia Cheng had a sweet smile on his face, looking cute and soft, "Master, I knew how to speak before, but no one asked me, so I didn't say anything.

What the maids said was too boring. I didn’t want to pay attention to them, but the master didn’t come to play with me, so I didn’t like to talk anymore.”

Jia Cheng spoke with logic and evidence and looked very smart. Jia She happily hugged Jia Cheng and laughed.

"I said my son would not be worse than Jia Zheng's son. I think Jia Baoyu is not as smart as my Cheng'er. Cheng'er, you must be stronger than Baoyu in the future. Do you know?"

Jia Cheng clenched his fists and cheered, "Master, I must be better than Baoyu, to make you proud and happy."

After hearing Jia Cheng's promise, Jia She's favorability level increased rapidly from 20 at the beginning to 40.

Jia She is still quite friendly to Jia Cheng at the moment, but their relationship has not yet reached a close one.

However, Jia Cheng was not worried. He believed that once he showed some of his talents, Jia She would soon be conquered by him.
