After sending the two onto the horse carriage, Lady Gong finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.
"My lord, why didn’t you ntion it to the two princes? Our Cheng’er is already so grown-up. Other children his age have already entered the Imperial College!"
She’s anxious, seeing those ladies around her constantly talking about their grandchildren.
But she can’t get a word in and can only sit there cracking lon seeds!
"Are you stupid!"
Seeing the two princes had departed, Lord Gong couldn’t hold it in either. As soon as he entered the gate, he started scolding Lady Gong.
"Didn’t Prince An Yang make it clear enough? Those who have been to Wulong Mountain live a long ti. Cheng’er has plenty of ti to marry and have children in the future, with a houseful of descendants!"
Why insist that their son marry soone in the capital and then have his future wasted here?
"So what? Our Cheng’er isn’t going to Wulong Mountain." Lady Gong still didn’t understand what the matter with Wulong Mountain had to do with them.
"You—"
Lord Gong felt that he was talking to a brick wall, with frustration stuck in his throat.
He thought, just now, when Prince An Yang faced his wife, this must have been how he felt. If it were him, Cheng’er would’ve been free to go wherever he wanted long ago!
But this wasn’t the most infuriating. He heard Lady Gong speak again when he had nothing to say.
"Anyway, they will return eventually. What’s wrong with letting Cheng’er co back now? This way he can start a family sooner, and we can also have grandchildren, right?"
She felt there was nothing wrong with this thought. Didn’t all those people who went to Huayan Peak co back eventually?
Honestly, she didn’t think her son going to Huayan Peak was for so grand cause but was a waste of his youth. In this ti, couldn’t he do sothing in the capital?
Back then, if it weren’t for her husband insisting on consenting to Cheng’er following Prince Zhan to Huayan Peak, she would have never agreed.
"If Prince Zhan truly cared for our Cheng’er, he should have taken Cheng’er to Wulong Mountain early on, not Huayan Peak. If Cheng’er went to Wulong Mountain, that would be good indeed.
Prince Zhan seems exceedingly kind to Cheng’er on the outside, but in reality, his heart is dark."
"You, you..."
Lord Gong was so furious he couldn’t speak. Were these the kind of words that a housewife should carelessly say?
"Who did you hear these words from?!"
He questioned sharply, certain that Lady Gong hadn’t co up with such words on her own. Soone must have ntioned it to her that’s why she carelessly blurted it out.
With this in mind, he felt a vague uneasiness in his heart, wondering if this woman had also said these things to others outside?
"Besides with , who else did you tell? Quickly tell !"
Lady Gong trembled at his shout, lifting her head with so grievance to look at Lord Gong.
What did she say wrong? If Qian Jiyun truly cared for Cheng’er and regarded him as a brother, why take Cheng’er to Huayan Peak instead of Wulong Mountain?
"I’m just speaking casually, my lord, why are you so agitated?"
"Casually speak?"
Lord Gong’s voice was sharp, his eyes wide open.
"Is Prince Zhan soone you can casually slander? Look at what you are, really think that just because Prince Zhan acknowledged Cheng’er as his sworn brother, you could rise with the tide?"
