My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

After dinner, Gu Song slowly stood up and said, "Master Su, I have to go. If it's too late, I won't be able to enter the palace."

Wan Sutong nodded and said, "Take care." Then he looked at the waiter beside him and asked, "What did King Lin say?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "I haven't seen Prince Lin. The housekeeper said there are no children in the mansion."

The boy was stunned when he heard it. "Impossible!"

Wan Sutong quickly comforted the boy, "It's okay, he must have found the wrong mansion. You can stay with me first, I will definitely help you find your family."

At this time, the system suddenly appeared, "Host has found out! It is indeed the illegitimate son of Prince Lin! His name is Zhao Sinian, he is eleven years old this year, and he has been raised very carefully in the backyard. He sneaked out yesterday, which made Prince Lin very anxious, but he was afraid that Princess Lin would know so he couldn't look for him openly. The housekeeper told the waiter that there was no child, but in fact he had already told Prince Lin."

Wan Sutong looked at the dusty child in front of her, frowning, "System! I can't marry him in the future! I don't want to marry him!"

Zhao Sinian looked at Wan Sutong in confusion and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you? Daddy doesn't want me anymore, right?"

Wan Sutong's heart tightened when she heard this. "No, your father will be here soon."

Zhao Sinian's eyes lit up after hearing this. "Really?"

Wan Sutong nodded. In fact, this child was quite pitiful. He didn't even know the identity of his father. Wan Sutong sighed, "System, is there any secret place for me to venture into? Let me stay away from these bad things. It would be best if I could stay out for two or three years!"

The system scratched its head and said, "Yes, there is, but the problem is that the Yaoyu Sect only appears once every hundred years. It has already disappeared thirty years ago. We will have to wait another seventy years for the next appearance."

Wan Sutong's face was filled with disbelief. "Seventy years! Then wouldn't I have ascended to heaven?"

Unexpectedly, the system laughed and said, "Host, don't worry. You may not be able to ascend to the immortal realm. After all, you are currently stuck at the first stage of the golden elixir realm." After saying that, the system quickly added, "Friendly reminder, you have been stuck there for a year!" Wan Sutong's face darkened instantly after hearing this. "Are you trying to comfort me?"

The system chuckled and said, "I'm sorry." At this moment, Zhou Lang walked into the restaurant and asked, "Is Mr. Su here?"

Wan Sutong frowned and whispered, "There is no one with the surname Su in this restaurant. They all ran away."

The system sighed, "Host, Zhou Lang is looking for you. Didn't you just say your name is Su Youqian?" Wan Sutong finally reacted and looked at Zhao Sinian, "Brother will take you to find your father." Then he took Zhao Sinian's hand and walked downstairs slowly, "What's the matter? How did you know I was here?"

Zhou Lang bowed his head slightly, "Mr. Su, I haven't seen you for a long time. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told me to invite you to the palace." Wan Sutong nodded without saying anything, and it was not until they got on the carriage that Zhao Sinian spoke carefully, "Big brother, are you really taking me to find my father?"

Wan Sutong smiled and said, "Don't worry."

When Wan Sutong arrived at the study room of the East Palace, she was about to salute when she met Zhao Jinghua's eyes. They were both stunned when they saw each other's clothes. Wan Sutong was wearing a lake blue cloak, a swallowtail crown and a high ponytail, looking like a cold scholar. "Su pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Jinghua was wearing a bright yellow cloak with bamboo patterns, his silver hair was half tied up, and he wore a pure gold hollow hair crown on his head. There were still a few strands of hair on his forehead. He looked extremely handsome. "Well, get up."

Wan Sutong stood up and lowered his head, "Thank you, Your Highness. I wonder when Your Highness will come to see me?"

Zhao Jinghua sighed, "Since I was named the crown prince, my younger brother, who used to be at odds with me, has completely broken off with me. Even my ninth brother, who has the same father and mother as me, is afraid of me."

Wan Sutong nodded. "Your Highness wants me to tell you why this happened?" Zhao Jinghua nodded without saying anything.

Wan Sutong looked at Zhao Jinghua and chuckled, "Su thinks that you may have been in power for a long time and your personality is not as gentle as before. The Ninth Prince is still young, so he is a little afraid."

Zhao Jinghua sighed, "So that's how it is." He then conjured up a purse and placed it on the table. "Then I'll trouble Master Su to bring me some toys and food for the children when he enters the palace tomorrow."

Wan Sutong picked up the purse with both hands and said, "Yes, Your Highness, is there anything else?"

Zhao Jinghua shook his head slightly and chuckled after a moment, "By the way, Jinghong likes the pastries from Beicheng, just buy them once every seven days."

Wan Sutong bowed and said, "Yes, Su has made a note of it." Then he complained in his heart, "So you just want me to run errands."

It was then that Zhao Jinghua noticed the child hiding behind Wan Sutong. Zhao Jinghua slowly stood up and walked to Wan Sutong's side, then leaned over slightly to look at Zhao Sinian, "Who is this child?"

Wan Sutong turned around and patted Zhao Sinian on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid." Then she looked at Zhao Jinghua and chuckled, "His name is Zhao Sinian. He got lost today. I asked someone to look for him. Prince Lin's Mansion said there was no child."

Zhao Jinghua chuckled after hearing this, "No wonder," and then looked at Eunuch Wang, "Send someone to invite Prince Lin over, and tell him that I have something important to discuss with you."

Eunuch Wang bowed and said, "Yes, I will go right away."

Wan Sutong didn't expect Zhao Jinghua to trust her so much. "Why does your highness trust what Su said so much?"

Zhao Jinghua sighed, "Because he looks so much like her."

Wan Sutong was about to ask when she heard the system chuckle, "I looked through some information and found that Zhao Sinian looks exactly like Zhao Jinghua when he was a child. People even believed he was Zhao Jinghua's son."

Wan Sutong immediately bowed and said, "In that case, I will withdraw." At the same time, she silently praised her decision to bring Zhao Sinian into the palace.

Zhao Jinghua sighed and said, "I'll trouble you, Master Su, to take care of my affairs."

Wan Sutong nodded, "Your Highness, I am sorry for embarrassing you. I will take my leave." Zhao Sinian quickly grabbed Wan Sutong's sleeve and said, "Brother, don't go!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Zhao Jinghua's eyes at this moment, but he returned to normal after a moment, and looked at Zhao Sinian with tenderness, "Don't be afraid, based on seniority, you have to call me Royal Brother."

Zhao Sinian asked doubtfully, "Brother?" He was obviously unfamiliar with this title.

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and said, "That's what my brother meant."

Wan Sutong heaved a sigh of relief and left immediately. "System, Zhao Jinghua seems to be wearing a dragon robe! Will I lose my head if I associate with him?"

The system shook its head and said, "Host, rest assured, that is not a dragon robe. The Crown Prince of Zhaoguo can wear bright yellow. The host may have some misunderstandings about dragon robes. Dragon robes are not clothes that are worn on a daily basis. They are worn during court sessions and must be embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, which is equivalent to the court dress of ministers."

Wan Sutong nodded and said, "I'm scared to death."

At this time, Zhao Sinian looked at Zhao Jinghua innocently and asked, "Do we have the same father?"

Zhao Jinghua shook his head and said, "You are my uncle's son, which means you are my cousin."

Zhao Sinian nodded and said, "When can Daddy come to pick me up?"

Zhao Jinghua raised his hand and touched the top of his head. "Almost there."

Zhao Sinian shook his head and said, "Big brother said the same thing, but he brought me here."

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and said, "Don't worry, my brother promises you." Then Zhao Jinghua walked to the table, picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Zhao Sinian.

Zhao Sinian took the cake with joy and said, "Thank you, my brother."

An incense stick later, Zhao Jinyao rushed to the study room, his pupils shrank when he saw Zhao Sinian in Zhao Jinghua's arms, and Zhao Sinian jumped out of Zhao Jinghua's arms when he saw him, "Daddy!" Then he ran over and hugged Zhao Jinyao's legs.

Zhao Jinghua slowly stood up and chuckled, "Uncle, if he was born in the outer house, just make it clear to the public."

Zhao Jinyao froze in place when he heard this. "I..."

At this time, Zhou Lang walked in and whispered a few words to Zhao Jinghua. Zhao Jinghua nodded and said, "You go first." Zhou Lang bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."

After Zhou Lang left, Zhao Jinghua came to Zhao Jinyao's side and put his left hand on his left shoulder. "Find a chance to talk to the Queen Aunt about adopting the child. Maybe thanks to this child, you can have a child too." Zhao Jinghua withdrew his hand and looked outside the door. "After all, the truth will come to light. If it is discovered by outsiders, you will be ridiculed. You'd better take care of yourself." After saying that, he walked out of the study.
