Chapter 1788 - 1790: You Still Have the Nerve to Mention the Child

"What?" The Secondary Princess Consort was quite taken aback.

She finally understood why Baili Yan was so angry.

"Prince, please don’t, Prince, I was wrong." The Secondary Princess Consort was someone who could bow and bend. Although she hated Yang Chuxia immensely at this moment, she couldn’t care less to say anything to her.

Crawling to Baili Yan’s feet, clutching his robe as she cried and pleaded, "Prince, I was wrong, truly wrong, I was just momentarily confused. For the sake of the Second Young Master, I beg the prince to forgive me."

She didn’t mention the child, Baili Yan felt slightly better inside. But as soon as she mentioned the child, he kicked her away.

"Do you still have the face to mention the child?" Baili Yan’s face was icy. "I have never seen any mother call her own child a little bastard. You really opened my eyes today." He then instructed another attendant, "Go, deliver my words: from today on, the Second Young Master will be cared for by the Princess Consort, all matters of discipline will be managed by her."

"Yes!"

"No, no!" At this point, the Secondary Princess Consort was truly anxious. Losing her position as the Secondary Princess Consort was unbearable, but losing her child was absolutely unacceptable. The child was her foothold in the mansion.

"Prince, you cannot do this. How can the child be separated from his mother when he’s still young?"

The Secondary Princess Consort climbed up again, clinging to the hem of Baili Yan’s clothing, making Yang Chuxia feel repulsed.

However, internally, she felt a bit of pity for her unlucky day, causing trouble for herself and then being confronted. Today must be a day of misfortune for the Tong Family.

"Shut up for me! Isn’t the Princess Consort the child’s mother?" Baili Yan shouted angrily. "Speaking of mothers, the Princess Consort is the proper mother of the child. When it’s a mother taking care of her child, what nonsense are you saying? Go back to your courtyard, and if I find out you’re causing trouble again, I’ll have you sent back to the Tong Family immediately."

Baili Yan wasn’t wrong. In ancient times, all children born to concubines had to call the legitimate mother their mother, and to outsiders, the legitimate mother was the proper mother of the child—a truly frustrating rule.

Even so, upon hearing Baili Yan’s words, the Secondary Princess Consort finally shut her mouth. Internally, she cursed Yang Chuxia from head to toe, believing this vile woman must have known the prince was nearby and intentionally led her to say those words.

This vile woman knew the prince was there yet didn’t warn her. Damn her; just wait until the prince ascends to greater power. Then I’ll show her a thing or two.

Women understand each other, and from the subtle twist of her face, Yang Chuxia could guess her deep hatred. She silently thought she must have a penchant for attracting trouble, why does it always seem like someone’s bothering her? Can’t she just have some peace?

Thinking this way, she couldn’t help feeling indifferent, so after having dinner at Prince Zhuang’s Mansion, she immediately asked to take her leave.

"Mother, I don’t like the people from Tong Family." On the carriage, Yangyang said.

"Mother doesn’t like them either." Yang Chuxia replied with a smile.

"They are truly annoying." Yangyang thought to himself, and next time there’s a chance, he’d definitely make it so the Tong Family sons couldn’t open their mouths, stopping their constant troublemaking and restlessness.

Yang Chuxia pinched his little cheek and said, "Alright, let’s not talk about them. We just ignore them. Anyway, there’s nothing much going on this afternoon. Mother’s shop has opened, let’s go and have a look."

"Alright, let’s listen to Mother." Ye Zi’an agreed.
