The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1718 Lotus Leaf Triumphs

Wan Lianxing slammed the fan in his hand towards Cheng Feng's forehead, "I'm talking to you, why are you looking at your Uncle Ge!"

Ge Dongqing sniffed and said with a wronged expression, "Brother, just look if you want. What can I do? I'm childless, and you and I are brothers in misfortune!"

Cheng Feng almost jumped up. You really can't offend people! "Uncle Ge, are you really angry with Shang Xi? You tricked my son, and Shang Xi got angry and called you childless. That was just to vent her anger. Shang Xi doesn't have any bad intentions. She has always respected you. You can't add fuel to the fire at this time!"

Ge Dongqing cried out, "My lifelong reputation has been ruined because I have no children!"

Cheng Feng scratched his head. Did this guy have a problem with his self-awareness? He wasn't ruined by being childless; he was ruined by indulging in lust. Cheng Feng really wanted to tell him to watch his words!

At this moment, Wan Lianxing understood Ge Dongqing best. He lamented to himself, "My brother and I are in the same boat! Just because I have no children, I have begun to swallow my anger!"

"Uncle, come on! Are you the kind of person who swallows his anger? So what if you have no children? You still have your nephew! As the saying goes, a nephew is still a son! If you have regrets because of this, then I'll call you Dad. Besides, is it worth getting angry over Shang Xi's comment about having no descendants? Shang Xi was talking about my Uncle Ge. You and my Uncle Ge are different. My Uncle Ge has had only one son in three generations, and only one male in five generations. He can't compare to you. You have a nephew, but my Uncle Ge doesn't! Don't worry, Uncle. If you get sick, I'll be by your bedside to take care of you. If you get old, I'll break basins and wave paper banners for you. If there's anything else you need me to do, just tell me, and I'll arrange it for you. Don't keep bringing up having no children anymore, I don't like hearing it!"

Wan Lianxing was completely bewildered and submissive after being flattered by Cheng Feng's words. He asked Cheng Feng, "What did you just say you would call me again?"

Cheng Feng was dumbfounded. He had just given a long, impassioned speech, but he didn't know which question his uncle was referring to. Luckily, the old butler was giving him a hint. Cheng Feng knew from the lip movements, "Father?"

Wan Lianxing nodded in satisfaction. "My elder brother only has you as his son. A gentleman helps others achieve their goals, but he doesn't take what others love. With your words just now, I have no regrets. Feng'er, please rise and speak!"

Cheng Feng was still thinking about which of his words had worked when he heard Ge Dongqing sobbing on the chair. The sobs grew louder and louder, making it hard for anyone not to notice.

Cheng Feng thought for a moment and realized he hadn't offended him. So why was this person crying? Was he crying because no one would break his funeral basin after he passed away? If so, he could send him on his way. It wasn't a big deal.

So Cheng Feng said, "Uncle Ge, don't worry. I can take care of your funeral arrangements. I can do everything myself, from smashing the basin to waving the paper banners. I won't let anyone else do it. After all, you are my uncle's sworn brother!"

Cheng Feng was fine when he didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Ge Dongqing cried his heart out.

Cheng Feng suspected he had said something wrong, so he looked at the old steward and then at Wan Lianxing.

The old butler shook his head at Cheng Feng. He was used to it; Ge Dongqing crying five times in three days was nothing new.

Wan Lianxing also said, "It's alright, let your Uncle Ge cry. He'll be fine after a while. He was moved by you."

Cheng Feng said cautiously, "I think Uncle Ge has been traumatized!"

"Never mind him, Feng'er. Stay and have a few drinks with me and your Uncle Ge later. Your uncle is in a good mood today."

Just a moment ago it was pouring rain, but now this person's mood has completely changed. He can turn on you faster than flipping through a book! Luckily, Cheng Feng was quick-witted today and only said what was nice to hear. He not only got lunch at his uncle's place, but also brought home a bunch of rewards.

Yu Hua and Shang Xi looked at each item one by one. Yu Hua asked, "Why is the Emperor giving Cheng Feng a reward when it's neither a festival nor a holiday?"

Shang Xi's lips twitched. "My uncle is alright, but his mood is unpredictable. Sometimes you don't even know what makes him angry or happy. The Emperor's heart is as unfathomable as the sea, and he's very perceptive!"

Cheng Feng whispered, "Wife, you need to be careful what you say in the future. Be careful, walls have ears. My uncle is very suspicious, and he's been keeping an eye on us for the past few days."

Shang Xi looked up at the ceiling, rolled her eyes, and said, "Isn't he bored?!"

"They only made me kneel because they were bored. Luckily, your husband is quick-witted and has a sweet tongue, which saved him from disaster. I made him happy with just a few words. Otherwise, what you are seeing now would not be a reward, but your husband's body riddled with holes."

"Uncle, Aunt, are you home?"

"Eh? Isn't that my niece's voice?" As soon as she finished speaking, He Ye appeared, with Jin Feng by her side.

Shang Xi put down the beads she was fiddling with and went forward to greet He Ye and Jin Feng. "Jin Feng is a rare guest! I rarely see you out and about!"

Jin Feng was visiting the Prince's Mansion for the first time and appeared particularly reserved. "I usually stay at home weaving cloth, and I'm here today to accompany my younger brother and sister-in-law."

Shang Xi looked at He Ye's belly and said, "You're the most precious one now. This Golden Phoenix doesn't do anything but serve you all day long, right?"

He Ye said embarrassedly, "Auntie, actually I can take care of myself. It's just that my two sisters-in-law dote on me and don't let me do any housework. They don't even let me go to the market with Qing Sheng. Now my second sister-in-law has stopped weaving because of me. The whole Chen family revolves around me. I feel so embarrassed!"

Yu Hua pulled He Ye down to sit: "What's there to be embarrassed about? You're carrying the hope of our Chen family. If you give birth to a boy for our Chen family, you'll be the greatest contributor to our family. If you're lucky, you'll definitely get pregnant twice in three years and three times in five years. Then our Chen family's ancestral graves will be emitting auspicious smoke."

Shang Xi's eyes widened. "Two in three years, three in five years! Is it really that easy?" Shang Xi wanted to say, do you think having children is like a sow giving birth? It's only because He Ye has a good temperament; if it were her, she would probably have been driven crazy by now.

"Shang Xi, what do you know? Having children depends on the person! Look at Jin Feng, she entered the family even before He Ye, and she hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy yet. And look at He Ye, she got pregnant right after entering the family. He Ye is the kind of woman who is good at bearing children. If things continue like this, won't our Chen family be prosperous and have many descendants?"

Shang Xi sighed at how quickly Yu Hua had changed. Just last month, she was worried that He Ye would go crazy and beat their mistress to death. But now that she knew He Ye was pregnant, she was all smiles and her attitude towards He Ye had completely changed. She practically worshipped He Ye. It was truly a case of a mother gaining status through her child! He Ye had finally gotten her revenge.
