His father is still alive and well. If he knew that he had recognized someone else as his father, he would probably be so angry that he would die.

"I see." Gongsun Xingzhi nodded.

Yan Song: ? ? !

No, did you understand? You're just like that. This isn't how you show off.

Damn it, this is unbelievable! Who is this woman? How did she even know about him drugging me?

Yan Song cursed countless times in his mind, but he served Lin Shuyun and Old Man Xu like a grandson the whole time.

Gongsun Xingzhi looked at Yan Song, lost in thought from time to time.

Apart from Lin Shuyun and Old Man Xu, the other two probably didn't enjoy the meal much.

There was far too much food on the table for only four people. Gongsun Xingzhi just went through the motions, while Yan Song couldn't eat any more.

Only Old Xu and Lin Shuyun were left, and they were full after taking a couple of bites of each dish.

Old Xu didn't want to waste the food he couldn't finish, so he called over the waiter and asked him to put it in a food box.

When Yan Song paid the bill, he was practically grinding his teeth to dust. His silver, his money!

Although he was a playboy, he still had a limited amount of money; it wasn't like he had more than he could spend.

Today's meal at Mingyue Tower has used up all his savings, leaving him with only three coins. He won't even have money to go out for drinks and entertainment anymore. How could he not grit his teeth and hate it?

hate it!

"Lady Lin, my carriage is outside. Shall I take you back?" Gongsun Xingzhi said to Lin Shuyun as they left Mingyue Tower.

Lin Shuyun waved her hand, "No need, I'm too full. I'll walk back and digest a bit. Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Gongsun."

Old Xu came over carrying two large food boxes. "Girl, take this box back and feed it to those little kids. I still need the rest, can I take it with me?"

"Suit yourself, just be careful." Lin Shuyun waved her hand, not asking where Old Man Xu was going.

Old Xu was in a great mood after drinking the Daughter's Red wine, and ran off with the food box in hand.

"Grandma, I'll take you home."

Yan Song lowered his voice and adopted an extremely humble attitude towards Lin Shuyun, after all, his life was still in her hands.

Lin Shuyun gave him a disdainful look. "Don't do that. If the neighbors see you with that lewd grin, they might misunderstand and think I'm having an affair."

Yan Song: ...

There's a swear word I'm not sure if I should say it.

Lin Shuyun waved her hand, "Alright, my good son, go back now. Your poison won't take effect for now. Just come to me again in a few days to get the antidote."

Yan Song breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

As long as you don't die for the time being, it's fine.

"but……"

Hearing that Lin Shuyun hadn't finished speaking, Yan Song's heart jumped into his throat again. "But what?"

Lin Shuyun's gaze fell on his lower body, "But you'd better take good care of your lower body, otherwise it will cause the poison to take effect quickly, and you might not be able to continue your family line. Don't blame me then!"

Yan Song suddenly felt a tightness in his crotch.

No, really? What kind of poison is so potent that it can affect this?

Lin Shuyun smiled and said, "You don't have to believe me. Go ahead and try it. If you run into problems, don't blame me."

Yan Song immediately squeezed his legs together. "Don't worry, Grandma, I'm not that kind of person. I'm pure and abstinent."

"Don't follow me!"

Seeing Lin Shuyun leave, Yan Song breathed a long sigh of relief.

Gongsun Xingzhi spoke up, "I really didn't expect that the renowned Second Young Master Yan would speak to a woman in such a humble manner. It's like the sun has risen in the west."

Yan Song realized that the sickly man was still there, and immediately became extremely displeased.

"None of your business! I'm doing it my way!"

Yan Song glared at Gongsun Xingzhi. Don't think he didn't know what this sickly fellow was up to; he just wanted to know the whole story.

He wouldn't say.

Gongsun Xingzhi frowned, watched Lin Shuyun's figure walk away, then turned and got into the carriage.

He wasn't feeling well, so he only took a small bite of the food earlier.

For some reason, he felt quite comfortable after eating the grilled fish that day, which is why he tried to get close to Lin Shuyun time and time again.

Gongsun Xingzhi's carriage drove away.

The servant boy, Ma Zi, wished he could be invisible. He wanted to run away but didn't dare. He walked up to Yan Song with a smirk and said, "Young master, I heard that a new courtesan has arrived at Zui Chun Lou. Would you like to go and see her?"

Yan Song kicked her, yelling, "Go to hell! Didn't you hear what that bitch said? I can't play with women. Do you want to make me childless?!"

The next second, the familiar voice rang in my ears again.

"My dear son, what did you just call me?"

Seeing Lin Shuyun appear out of nowhere, Yan Song was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

He immediately put on a fawning smile, "Grandma, I'm telling you, that slut Gongsun Xingzhi definitely has designs on you. We're both men, I know that look in his eyes all too well, he's clearly interested! You really need to be careful!"

"Let me tell you, these people from aristocratic families may look respectable on the surface, but they're all incredibly wicked behind the scenes. They would never do anything without personal gain; there's not a single good one among them!"

Lin Shuyun looked at Yan Song with a half-smile, "That's not something you need to worry about, my good son. Dad's leaving now. Don't forget to ask me for the antidote another day."

Seeing that the person had really left, Yan Song walked a long way forward to confirm that Lin Shuyun was no longer there before letting out a long sigh of relief.

In just a short while, Yan Song broke out in a cold sweat.

This woman is fucking weird.

Yan Song turned to look at Ma Zi, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "What did you hear? What did you see today?"

The pockmarked man knelt down with a thud. "This servant is deaf and blind, I heard nothing and saw nothing, please spare my life, young master..."

……

……

"Your Highness, the palace is in a state of panic lately. How dare you come here?"

Consort Lan nestled in the Second Prince's arms, her tone as charming and alluring as could be.

Under the guise of visiting Consort De today, the two have gotten together again.

The Second Prince pinched Consort Lan's chin. "I missed you, you little slut. You were pregnant, and you still dared to seduce me. What wouldn't I dare to do?"

"But don't worry, once I ascend to that position, we won't have to sneak around like this anymore."

Consort Lan was a little anxious upon hearing this, "Then when will we have to wait?"

She was really not satisfied with only being able to see him once in such a long time.

"There's nothing I can do. As long as Father Emperor is alive, I can't be legitimate. Now that that scoundrel Xuanyuan Heng has been made Crown Prince, what I could have accomplished so easily will probably be delayed for a while longer."

The second prince sighed and touched Consort Lan's face.

"I don't mind, but I'm afraid your belly can't wait any longer. He's my first child, and I can't bear to..."
