"Why are you still calling me Madam? Why not call me Mother?"

Yu Zhong's choked voice interrupted the eye contact between Fei Wan and Madam Yu.

Both of them were stunned.

Fei Wan was pretending, but Madam Yu was panicking.

"Master!" she tried to dissuade him. "Although the witnesses here all match, there's still a team out investigating. What if there's something wrong over there..."

"What else is wrong?" Yu Zhong growled. "Everything matches. The birthmark on the child's wrist is the same. The Tiger Guards returned with only corroborative evidence. How can they disprove it? Do you think Zhao Ronghua is an imposter? You're still so confused!"

"But back then, that... that..."

Regardless of being in the palace, Madam Yu leaned in closer and whispered to her husband, "Several masters said that the child in my womb was a bad omen. If she were to see the light of day, there would be bloodshed. If she were to grow up and call me daddy or mommy, our whole family would be in great trouble..."

"shut up!"

Yu Zhong closed his eyes.

What happened back then had its reasons.

Who knew that the situation would be like this eighteen years later!

He had no choice but to patiently explain to his wife, "This is a different time. Haven't you heard that the Emperor's golden dragon energy can quell all disasters? Even if she was truly a disaster, after entering the royal family and being enveloped by the dragon energy, she has become a normal person. She is a beautiful woman, and His Majesty favors her. It is your disapproval that has brought disaster upon the whole family. Do you understand?"

This stupid woman.

That’s all I have to say. If she refuses to listen, don’t blame him for being cruel in the end.

"That...that..."

Madam Yu didn't completely ignore the words, but she was still hesitant, staring at Fei Wan in surprise, not knowing whether she should approach.

Fei Wan waited quietly for the couple to whisper, not in a hurry at all.

Yu Tingjin couldn't help it, so he ran forward and pushed Fei Wan away.

"What kind of magic potion did you give my father?"

"Father, you must not trust her. Even if she is truly your own flesh and blood, she harbors resentment and is ready to bite us at any moment. Although I used to be her master, I always treated her like a sister, yet she still slandered and framed me, leading to this miserable situation today."

"Dad, Mom, if you acknowledge her, I'm afraid she'll kill our whole family next... Jin'er is scared. She doesn't want Dad and Mom to suffer at her hands. She's really not a good person. She hit me so hard..."

Madam Yu hugged her trembling, crying adopted daughter distressedly, "Jin'er, don't cry, Jin'er, my poor Jin'er, why are you so scared..."

Although she is an adopted daughter, she has been raising her with her own hands after so many years of living with her day and night.

She is also recognized by Shinto masters as a blessed girl who will bring good luck to her and her family.

This is indeed the case. Since adopting Jin'er, her relationship with her husband has become better and better, and her health has also become better and better.

Jin'er rose through the ranks after entering the palace. As a mother, she was envied by countless people, and she also received a lot of rewards from the palace...

But all this was ruined by Fei Wan, who was of questionable origin.

Is she really his own daughter?

Why was there no trace of affection in the look she gave him?

"Master Yu, I was just wishful thinking."

Fei Wan glanced at Madam Yu indifferently, took a few steps back, bowed to Yu Zhong, and wiped away her tears.

"I was wrong to call you 'Daddy' a few times just now. However, being able to have a few moments of father-daughter warmth with you is enough for me to savor for the rest of my life. Let's put this matter of recognizing my relatives at this point."

Yu Zhong was shocked: "Miss Zhao!"

Fei Wan just shook her head: "Sir, I am here to join this family, not to destroy it. Since Madam and Gengyi are unwilling, how can I harm the harmony of the Yu family? From now on, I will respect you as an elder. If you have any difficulties, just come to me. I will definitely help you in any way I can."

She nodded, turned and left.

Resolute and unrestrained, without any regrets.

Yu Zhong couldn't stop her, and couldn't persuade her, so he chased Fei Wan all the way back to the main hall door, feeling very anxious.

The emperor has come to this point. If he doesn't recognize Fei Wan, there will be endless troubles!

"Your Majesty! I am sorry to have troubled Your Majesty, but..."

Fei Wan stepped into the main hall and stopped talking midway.

On the other side of the hollow carved partition, there was no emperor reviewing memorials behind the imperial desk, nor was there Yu Sujin grinding ink.

There was a muffled sound from the couch by the window.

This was followed by the suppressed woman's exclamation.

"Your Majesty, where are you..."

Fei Wan walked into the room puzzled and looked towards the couch following the sound.

Suddenly he looked surprised and puzzled.

"Second Miss Yu, you..."

Yu Sujin hurriedly and awkwardly got up from the emperor, her face flushed, and she knelt on the ground in shame.

Her voice was filled with tears: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Princess Zhao, please calm down. It was all your carelessness..."

Fei Wan quickly turned around and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was the one who offended you without informing you..."

She raised her foot to go out.

The emperor called out to her, "Zhao Qing! It's not what you think."

Fei Wan paused, but did not turn back, just stood there coquettishly.

The emperor coughed awkwardly.

Yu Sujin explained promptly, "Your Majesty was tired from reading the memorials, so he leaned back on the couch to rest. I saw that Your Majesty had fallen asleep, so I was about to leave. I saw that the window next to the couch was open, and I was afraid that the wind would blow Your Majesty, so I wanted to close the window before leaving. So I reached out to close the window in front of the couch, but who knew..."

She lowered her head deeply: "Who knew that I was careless and lost my balance, and fell on His Majesty!"

She bit her lips, her face was as red as blood, and she was extremely shy.

She raised her eyes to look at the emperor embarrassedly, and happened to meet the emperor's gaze, so she quickly turned away.

"Your Majesty, I have been disrespectful. Please forgive me."

The emperor looked deeply at her shy appearance and said in a gentle voice: "What crime have you committed? It was just an accident."

Oh? That's quite unexpected.

Fei Wan turned around and said, "So that's how it is. I misjudged you. Your Majesty, please don't blame me. It's just..."

She stepped forward, took Yu Sujin's hand and pulled her up, frowning as she pleaded, "It's just that Your Majesty, Second Miss Yu is a girl from the boudoir, and her reputation is of paramount importance. After having close contact with Your Majesty today, I'm afraid... it will be difficult to discuss marriage in the future."

The emperor was displeased: "You think I have damaged her reputation?"

Fei Wanfu bowed and apologized, "That's not what I meant. I just thought that Miss Yu has always been a decent person. If she has a husband in the future, it would be unfaithful to her husband if she didn't mention what happened today, and she would definitely not agree. But if I tell the truth, how many men in the world can be like Your Majesty, not only not care about these things, but also sympathize with the girl's difficulties? Then her husband won't dare to argue with Your Majesty, but will definitely argue with her, and she is afraid she will suffer."

Yu Sujin lowered her head and wept, "My Lady Zhao... If that is the case, I will have no choice but to accept my fate and continue my cultivation."

Fei Wan laughed secretly.

It seems that my guess was correct, this woman is arrogant.

"Then according to Zhaoqing, what should we do? It was just an accident, why did it come to this!" The emperor pursed his lips, as if he was impatient.

Why are you pretending to be so serious? Fei Wan had just clearly seen his hand around her waist.

What? Are you afraid that you're too slippery and the girl will fall off the bed?

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty to grant the Second Miss Yu a status. If Your Majesty does not like her, you can simply place her in a separate courtyard. I am willing to give half of my salary to support her and settle her down for the rest of her life, as my way of repaying the Yu family for giving me life. No matter how lonely it is in the palace, it is better than becoming a nun among the people. Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"

Fei Wan pleaded softly and sincerely.

Even though what she said was false and far-fetched, in front of a man with such a fluttering heart, it didn't matter what she said. As long as she fulfilled his wishes, it would be fine.

Your own body is a weapon, and other people's bodies are also weapons.

He turned his head to glance at Yu Sujin, and saw that beneath her shy and embarrassed face, there was a hint of excitement that she tried hard to hide.

Fei Wan thought to himself that this weapon should be very useful.
