Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

After the bumpy carriage stopped, Gu Shiming jumped out quickly and ran into the door.

The irritating sunlight shone on him, but he could not feel a trace of warmth, and his body felt as if it had fallen into an icy cave.

He pushed open the door and looked at the strange father sitting at the head seat in the hall holding a woman in his arms, while the mother sat silently at the lower seat, maintaining her decency with a bit of numbness.

The mother said nothing and did not try to save or change the situation.

I just watched all this happen calmly as if I were an outsider.

Gu Shiming heard the harsh, sweet voices of his father and that woman.

This was like a splash of cold water, allowing Gu Shiming to calmly think about what he should and should not do.

It was useless to shout and question his father. The man didn't care about him at all, so no matter how he resisted, his father would not accept his opinion.

Even his position as the crown prince was only possible with the full support of his mother's family.

So, the only option is compromise?

Gu Shiming gritted his teeth. He wanted to resist, but most of his power now came from his father.

What should he do now?

At this time, his father, who was facing the gate, looked over at him and said indifferently, "Shi Ming is back, this is Yue Yao, your other mother, hurry up and call for help!"

The woman in his father's arms turned her head and looked at him mockingly, with a smug smile on her lips. The bright red lip balm was very dazzling.

Veins popped out on Gu Shiming's forehead and his breathing became rapid. Just when he wanted to blurt out that she was not his mother.

The mother, whose expression had been indifferent until now, spoke up, "She hasn't come in yet, let's talk about it later."

Gu Shiming lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes filled with hatred.

Wei Yueyao frowned in dissatisfaction and said to Jingyang Hou coquettishly, "Luo Lang, I just want him to call me mother now~"

The angle at which she faced Marquis Jingyang was carefully designed.

Jingyang Hou glanced at his wife coldly, lowered his head and comforted Yue Yao in a gentle voice, "Yue Niang, there is no rush for this matter. Wait until I marry you and bring you back home in a formal ceremony, and then we can talk about this matter."

"Humph, then Luo Lang can't regret it when the time comes!"

Wei Yueyao cast a charming glance at Jingyang Hou, and after vaguely realizing his unquestionable intention, she decisively changed the words she was about to say.

She is not a fool who cannot read other people's faces. If she continues to make trouble, the Marquis will become impatient.

This family is really weird: a man who wants to make the oiran his concubine, a woman who is indifferent to the matter, and a silent and taciturn child.

This also made Wei Yueyao alert. If this man was not really Marquis Jingyang, she would have thought he was a kidnapper acting together!

However, this also reflects that Marquis Jingyang probably often brought women home in the past.

Otherwise, why would his wife be so familiar with him, not even giving him an extra expression, sitting calmly in the lower seat, and not getting angry no matter how she provoked her.

He is just a wooden man.

And that kid, it sounded like Prince Gu was very proud before?

Don’t you have to bow your head in front of his father now?

Although Wei Yueyao didn't know whether the Marquis was mentally ill or not, she was the one who benefited from this matter after all.

Even if she was a prostitute, so what! Wouldn't the great Marquis of Jingyang still make her his co-wife?

He also said that as long as this baby was a boy, he would ask the emperor to change the person and make him the crown prince.

Wei Yueyao didn't know anything else, but she knew that the emperor would not agree to this even if he didn't want to.

What kind of fool would be able to ask the emperor to change his mind and replace the crown prince with someone else?

However, this problem is not difficult to solve. As long as this Prince Gu is gone, her child will be the only legitimate son of Marquis Jingyang, and the rightful prince!

A hint of softness flashed across her expression, and she raised her hand and placed it casually on her belly.

Wei Yueyao took a deep look at the prince standing motionless at the door with her narrow eyes, and there was a cold look in her eyes.

She didn't want to kill anyone, but he was standing in her son's way.

It’s not that Marquis Jingyang doesn’t want Shi Ming to call Yue Yao mother now, but he can’t push his lady too hard, because her family is not easy to mess with.

Gu Shiming didn't know what he was doing and he couldn't do anything.

At this moment he seemed to understand in a trance that it was because he had no power.

Gu Shiming was silent for a while, then he walked to his mother with stiff legs and asked in a low voice, "Mom, why don't we go see my sister?"

Zheng Hualing knew that Ming'er wanted her to leave this place, so she nodded.

She still politely said goodbye to Marquis Jingyang, then left holding Ming'er's hand.

The two people in the hall ignored the departure of the mother and son and didn't even glance at them.

"Luo Lang, when are you planning to marry me?" Wei Yueyao stared at Marquis Jingyang with her eyes wide open, a look of great anticipation on her face.

Jingyang Hou laughed and said, "Of course we have to choose an auspicious day!"

"I'll do it as soon as possible," he added.

After all, Yue Yao is pregnant with his child for two months. If they get married earlier, they can also announce to the public that Yue Niang gave birth prematurely and the child was born prematurely.

After hearing the satisfactory answer, Wei Yueyao grabbed the Marquis's hand and placed it on her belly.

"Luo Lang, feel it, my belly is your child."

Gu Luo touched it carefully. This was the first time he touched a pregnant belly. Although the pregnancy was not obvious for two months, he still felt a warm feeling in his heart.

It was quite new to him and he began to long to see the little guy.

"Yue Niang, I will give you the best."

Including the position of Marquis Jingyang's legal wife.

"I believe in Luo Lang." Wei Yueyao leaned on Jingyang Hou lovingly.

Wei Yueyao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of pride.

When Gu Shiming's mother took his hand, he suddenly calmed down. He walked while observing his mother's expression.

It seems that nothing has changed.

But when his mother stopped, Gu Shiming found that this was not his sister's room, but his mother's room.

"mother?"

Zheng Hualing did not respond to him. She waved away the maids in the room and took something out from a secret compartment beside the bed.

A small closed box.

"Mom, what is this?"

At this time, Zheng Hualing raised his head and said, "This is poison."

She paused and explained, "I was going to take this myself, but I can't let you go."

Zheng Hualing lowered her eyes, "This is our life-saving thing now."

"Mother will put these poisons in the food of Jingyang Hou's 'true love'." Zheng Hualing used distant words to describe Gu Luo, and her voice was very soft.

Gu Shiming’s eyes widened. Did he almost lose his mother before?

He hugged his mother tightly, as if only in this way could he be sure that his mother was still alive.

Zheng Hualing was stunned for a moment, then she hugged Ming'er with a gentle expression and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen, and Marquis Jingyang won't find out about us."

There was a tone of affirmation in her words.

She thought Ming'er was afraid of Marquis Jingyang.

"No, I just don't want mother to leave me and my sister." Gu Shiming shook his head.

Zheng Hualing's expression froze for a moment, and after a moment she hugged Ming'er tightly.
