Chapter 96 - 98: Qin Family of Li City
Qi Yu is only sixteen this year, yet he has managed to produce a child of unknown origin and status. Princess Consort Ning really doesn’t even want to acknowledge the term ’legitimate son.’ A mere horse-keeping maid gave birth to such a lowly spawn, which she deems to be an insult even to the word ’illegitimate.’
The most important thing is, this lowly wench actually dared to hide her pregnancy for ten months and secretly gave birth to the child, which clearly shows how scheming she is.
She is absolutely not going to tolerate such a person around her son. As for a grandson? When Yu’er gets married and takes concubines, what kind of grandson would she not have? Why let a lowly child born of a horse-keeper occupy the position of an elder son?
Even as an illegitimate child, it would not be acceptable!
Qi Yu then said, "Keeping the child isn’t out of the question, just put it under my brother’s name."
Princess Consort Ning’s face changed: "Are you mad to even think that!"
Qi Yu replied nonchalantly, "Anyway, my elder brother has no interest in women. It wouldn’t hurt to have a male child under his name for now, and there would be no issue even if he remains unmarried later on."
"Do you think your brother is a pushover that you can manipulate at will?" Princess Consort Ning’s tone held not a trace of joy or anger, as if she was discussing someone else’s affairs.
Qi Yu grinned and said, "But he is my brother, isn’t he? You always say he’s my brother, and that he should care for me and yield to me. He shouldn’t compete with me."
