Chapter 1503: 1503 Choose Another Heir
Xiao Yuchuan had finished his breakfast and then went to Yi Garden.
In the Yi Garden yard, Shen Yun was doing embroidery, and in her hands was a new blue robe, each stitch sewn with extra care.
Maid Shuang’er saw Xiao Yuchuan enter the yard and curtsied, “Greetings to the young Master.”
Shen Yun put down her needle and thread, stood up happily, and walked towards him, “Yuchuan, you’ve co.”
“Where is Xiao Chonghuan?” he asked involuntarily.
“Your father is in the room,” her voice sounded sowhat forlorn, “Yuchuan, he is your biological father after all. Can’t you refrain from calling him by his na?”
“Then I shall call him Master Xiao.”
“Master Xiao is what outsiders call him.” The speaker was Xiao Chonghuan, who ca out from the room, his authoritative gaze fixed on Xiao Yuchuan, “Yuchuan, I have been waiting for you to call ‘father’ for a long ti. Ever since you were born, I’ve been looking forward to it.”
Xiao Yuchuan frowned, “Master Xiao, perhaps you’ve mistaken the person. Maybe my mother… what I an is Yang Yuliu, didn’t switch the infant in the swaddling clothes either.”
“I saw it with my own eyes, and besides, you have the birthmark that only the legitimate heir of the Xiao Family would possess. How could there be a mistake!” Xiao Chonghuan’s face darkened, “You are my son, Xiao Chonghuan’s son, without a doubt!”
Xiao Yuchuan took a step back, “Master Xiao, don’t you have any other offspring?”
Xiao Chonghuan paused briefly, “Before you, your mother and I had another son, nad Xiao Wenxuan, who passed away at a young age.”
“What about illegitimate children?” Xiao Yuchuan still wasn’t giving up.
Shen Yun’s facial expression changed slightly, only she knew that she had secretly hard many of her husband’s offspring by other despicable won. Those base-born children were aborted by her while still in the womb, never given a chance to be born.
In the end, she realized that these won were endless because her husband favored young and beautiful girls; the won he toyed with were one after another.
She could not guard against them all.
So, she quietly tampered with her husband’s food and drink, causing his reproductive essence to be damaged, making it difficult for him to produce more offspring, yet without affecting his ability to lie with won.
Since there appeared to be nothing wrong in that respect, he was unaware of any issues with himself.
With the prescription she had obtained back then, not even a doctor could detect anything amiss.
So in summary, the husband had no other offspring.
Xiao Chonghuan shouted fiercely, “Nonsense! Your father has always been upright, how could I possibly have children with another woman besides your mother?”
Xiao Yuchuan had a slight headache, “Master Xiao, why didn’t you father more?” That way, he wouldn’t have to keep clinging to him.
Xiao Chonghuan felt slightly affronted, “Having children is a matter of fate.” He too had consulted a doctor, who told him there was nothing wrong with his health and that he had a natural deficiency of yang energy, which made it difficult for him to impregnate won. That he was able to have two children with his wife was already a great fortune.
Shen Yun was not afraid of Xiao Chonghuan discovering anything, because the doctor who had examined him had been bribed by her to deliberately say that her husband’s “essence” was poor and it was unlikely for him to have children, to prevent him from suspecting anything. Moreover, the won her husband had dallied with were considered playthings by him in the first place, those who had beco pregnant had not yet had a chance to speak up when they were secretly ‘dealt with’ by her.
“Yuchuan, having you with your father is enough for .” Shen Yun’s still attractive face was filled with tenderness.
Xiao Yuchuan knitted his brows, “Master Xiao, Lady Xiao, I can’t go to the capital city with you, nor do I wish to be the heir of the Xiao Family. The Xiao Family’s power is imnse, and there are many talents in the younger generation; it’s not that only Xiao Yuchuan will do. Please choose soone else to be your successor soon.”
