Chapter 905 Friend

Chapter 905: Friend Chapter 905: Friend Editor: Atlas Studios Qi Haoran obviously didn’t cite a good example because the three children widened their eyes in surprise.

“Royal Uncle has a concubine?

Why haven’t we seen her before?” Among them, Little Bear shouted the loudest.

“Brother Crown Prince is too disloyal.

He actually didn’t tell us that Royal Uncle has a concubine.” Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling: “…” Was there a need to tell them about this?

Wasn’t it obvious that there were so many concubines in the palace?

However, calling the imperial consorts concubines would probably attract a lot of hatred, right?

Mu Yangling glared at Qi Haoran, coughed lightly, and added, “Your Royal Uncle is the Emperor, so he’s an exception.

We can’t cite him as an example in many instances, but in fact, in the secular world, concubine sons indeed can’t surpass legitimate sons.

The situation of Yingzhao’s family is just an exception.” Qi Feng’s situation was special, while Fan Siwen had a screw loose in his head.

As for people like Yingzhao’s father and Li Jinghua’s cousin who doted on their concubines and neglected their wives, they were in the minority as well.

Most people, especially literati, paid special attention to the distinction between the legitimate wife and concubines.

In their opinion, their wives could work alongside them, while concubines were just playthings.

Even Fan Siwen thought so.

Even though he favored the concubine’s son, he didn’t value the biological mother of that son.

Since the topic had come to this, Mu Yangling did not intend to let the children misunderstand.

Instead, she told them what a legitimate wife was and what a concubine was.

She used some small stories of wives and concubines fighting to let them understand the difference between the status of a wife and a concubine, as well as the difference between a legitimate child and a child born from a concubine.

The three children widened their eyes.

Little Bear clicked his tongue and said, “I don’t want to take concubines in the future either.

Otherwise, what if they cry to me when I get home?” After hearing from his mother that concubines loved to cry and complain, Little Bear instantly made up his mind.

Little Lion heaved a sigh of relief and patted Tiger Head’s shoulder.

“Brother, fortunately, our mother is beautiful enough.

Otherwise, you’d definitely be dead meat if Father takes in a concubine.” Tiger Head pouted and asked, “Why?” “Because you’re too stupid,” Little Bear and Little Lion blurted out.

Little Bear also rejoiced.

“Fortunately, Mother is beautiful.

Otherwise, I would have to keep an eye on you guys every day lest you be bullied by the concubine’s sons.

That way, I wouldn’t even have time to play.” They made it sound as if Qi Haoran would take in a concubine if Mu Yangling wasn’t beautiful.

Qi Haoran was so angry that his eyes widened.

The eyes of the three sons, which bore a great resemblance to Qi Haoran’s, all widened at once, too.

Mu Yangling looked at them staring at each other and comforted them with a smile.

“Don’t worry, your father won’t dare to take in a concubine.” “Why wouldn’t I dare?” Qi Haoran pouted and said, “I was the one who voluntarily refused to take a concubine.” “Yes, yes, your father volunteered.” Qi Haoran coughed lightly, straightened his back, and said to them seriously, “Alright, don’t be like a frightened bird.

You won’t have any step siblings.” Tiger Head asked curiously, “What’s that?” Little Lion was also curious.

Little Bear raised his hand and answered first, “I know, I know.

Step siblings are children sharing the same father and born from different mothers.

Father said that he will only have children with Mother.” Qi Haoran sighed and turned to look at the worried Mu Yangling.

“I was quite smart when I was young.

I definitely wasn’t so stupid.” Mu Yangling immediately said, “When I was young, I was famous for being smart in the surrounding villages.

I was a genius in my studies.

So don’t look at me.

They definitely don’t take after me.” She had transmigrated into her mother’s womb.

Although she was muddle-headed when she was in her mother’s womb, she still knew who she was.

Not to mention, after she was born, her memories recovered bit by bit, so she couldn’t possibly be stupid.

She had always grown ahead of her age, okay?

Qi Haoran doubted this.

He felt that although Ah Ling was smart in some things, she was indeed very muddle-headed and stupid in most things.

Could it be that their sons were selective about growing up?

Had they only learnt the stupid aspects of Ah Ling and not inherited her intelligence?

Qi Haoran became worried.

It seemed like he couldn’t spend extravagantly anymore.

Although they were sons, he had to leave them more money and buy more assets.

Otherwise, what would they do in the future?

Qi Haoran returned home full of worries.

Just as he reached the entrance of the Fan Residence, he was stopped by Butler Xia with a troubled expression.

He stammered, “Our master said that Your Highness’s residence has been cleaned up, so he suggests you stay there today.

Master has just met with his wife and son, so they have some family matters to talk about.” Qi Haoran pursed his lips and turned to leave.

Standing in front of the carriage, he said to Mu Yangling, “Zijin is so petty.

All I did was forget to speak to him.

Then again, didn’t he leave us behind and come back early?

To think he refuses to let us in.” Qi Haoran thought that Fan Zijin did not let him in because when he was receiving them at the city gate, his mind was filled with thoughts about his sons and did not care about him.

Mu Yangling said, “Since our house is already cleaned up, let’s go back to our house and get someone to move our things over.” This time, their home was still next to Fan Zijin’s house.

It was sold to them by a retired Minister Counselor from the previous dynasty.

Their family had another house not far away.

Not only had they gained favor with Prince Rong by selling this place to him, but they had also earned a lot of money from this transaction.

Because she was in a hurry to move in, Mu Yangling bought it at a price 10% higher than the market price.

A few days ago, she had replaced the beds, couches, and other furnishings in the house.

She was just waiting for the children to come and move in.

Although they moved in half a day earlier than expected, Mu Yangling was also very happy that they could stay together as a family.

Excited to see their father, the twins told him about what they had seen on the way.

Little Bear also told him about what had happened in the capital after they left.

Of course, those were just things about him, Little Treasure, and his younger brothers.

Still, Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling listened with relish.

Knowing that other than Little Treasure, he had also become good friends with Li Yingzhao, Mu Yangling asked curiously, “He’s still willing to be good friends with you after you hit him?” Although children made up quickly after fighting and quarreling, the prerequisite was that they had a foundation of friendship.

If not, it could forge enmity from the onset.

This had happened when Mu Yangling was young in her previous life, so she knew that first impressions were very important.

“I apologized to him,” Little Bear said righteously.

“He forgave me, and it was Brother Crown Prince who mediated.” Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling looked at each other.

This person probably had no choice but to forgive him, right?

If it were Qi Haoran or Mu Yangling, even if they didn’t beat him up in return, they would ignore the person for the rest of their lives.

To a certain extent, the husband and wife were equally vengeful and petty.

“And I even helped him beat his stepbrother back and taught his father a lesson.” Little Bear said proudly, “He’s very grateful to me.

We’re good friends now.” Mu Yangling’s mouth fell open again.

Qi Haoran roared and jumped up.

“Qi Wenjin, tell me honestly what you’ve been doing in the capital.

Don’t evade the crucial points and tell me everything in detail!” Actually, Little Bear really didn’t do anything.

He just felt that Li Yingzhao’s father had done something very wrong.

So, after helping him seek justice by beating up Yingzhao’s stepbrother, he slipped into the Li Residence.

He then told Li Ou, who was hugging his concubine and doing something inappropriate for children’s eyes, how his father treated him and his brothers, hoping that he could learn from his father.
