Ch68: A Strange Vendor

Tian Yuexi didn't know that his younger brother had such a thought. If he knew, he would feel even sadder.

If he was healthy enough, he would have no concern about children. It was not a big deal for Mo Yanzhi to adopt one.

However, his body was poisoned, which made it difficult for him to have children. Tian Zhuoyou was already a generous gift from the heavens. It was impossible to have another one.

Mo Yanzhi was just thinking about it in his mind He didn't want to tell Han Tingxuan because he made sure it would become true. Otherwise, Han Tingxuan would be disappointed.

From that night onwards, Tian Zhuoyou slept in the outer room next to Mo Yanzhi and Han Tingxuan’s bedroom.

At night, Han Tingxuan did not do anything to Mo Yanzhi although he still held him in his arms in sleep. However, Mo Yanzhi no longer felt upset. On the contrary, his heart was warm.

In the blink of an eye, nine days passed.

In the past nine days, something big happened in the City of Capital.

In one more day, it would be the day that Prince Chen was officially inaugurated. Who was this Prince Chen?

There was not much talk in the court, because no officials had seen him before!

However, there was a lot of gossips among the citizens. Because citizens had seen him before? That was not the case.

However, the rumor said that a servant working at the Han Mansion was a cousin of a local from the City of Capital. He “said” that Prince Chen is very kind and had zero tolerance for bullies.

It was said that Prince Chen was only 18 years old, but his martial arts were very strong. He had been taught by an extraordinary Kungfu master since he was young. Climbing the walls was a small piece of cake for him. It was said that he could even topple mountains and overturn seas!

It was said that Prince Chen hated when ordinary citizens were treated unfairly because he had been raised by an ordinary family. There was a she-man from the City of Capital who was forced to marry a he-man who was from a powerful official’s family. When the she-man was in a hopeless state and was about to kill himself, Prince Chen happened to run into it. Prince Chen was furious. After finding out the truth, he severely punished the official's son and saved the she-man. He also warned the officer to send his son to jail if he couldn't manage his son well!

It was said that Prince Chen looked much like the Emperor. This was a blessing from the heavens. Because he was like another pair of eyes that the Emperor could have to watch the citizens’ life.

It was said…

It was said…

In short, in the past few days, the people in the City of Capital have discussed a lot about this Prince Chen who could be a representative of the people!

In comparison to such a big event, a small building being torn down, and its surrounding buildings being torn down and reconstructed was too small to be mentioned.

However, there was still someone who noticed the startup of "Bamboo Lane."

“Bamboo Lane” sounded like a place of the brothel, but it was more like a music house or something. It was hard to know what it was for.

Seven days ago, when the Emerald Red Chamber was torn down, some people went over to investigate but were kept away from the area by many Kungfu masters.

Those people were sent by brothels in the City of Capital.

They paid so much attention because of peer pressure.

Six days ago, there were hundreds of workers in the original Emerald Red Chamber. The owner must be super wealthy since he hired so many workers.

Therefore, there were many people paying attention to it.

In six days, the plague of Bamboo Lane was put on and the construction at the front was completed. The exteriors were exceptionally magnificent.

However, no matter how nice the building was, one could tell that it was also a brothel!

It was just that the size of this building was four times that of the original Emerald Red Chamber!

In six days, the front of the house was almost complete, and the foundation of the backyard had been started. It was quick since there were so many workers.

It would be almost completed in half a month!

In the Han Mansion, everything went well, compared to the "busy" outside.

Now everyone knew that this Han Mansion was the residence of Prince Chen. However, Prince Chen and his husband were in deep love. Prince Chen was as honorable as a prince, but since he was already married into the Han family, he was a member of the Han family. Not the other way around.

That was why the plague of the house said Han Mansion.

Prince Chen loved his husband very much. The Han family was honored to marry Prince Chen. But Han family was still Han family, not a family inferior to Prince Chen!

Tomorrow was the inaugural ceremony. Tonight, Tian Yuexi would come over to get Tian Zhuoyou back home.

These days, Tian Zhuoyou had gotten a lot perky here, and he felt down when he knew he was going to leave.

Mo Yanzhi liked the kid. He comforted him. "Zhuoyou, from now on, I can enter the palace to see you at any time. Isn't this better?"

The child was comforted and felt a little better.

After breakfast today, the kid proposed to take a walk on the street. At times like this, it was safe at home. However, since the child usually did not make a request and Mo Yanzhi had never gone out ever since he got to the City of Capital, Han Tingxuan thought about it and said after lunch, "Then let's go outside."

Mo Yanzhi was worried but Han Tingxuan suggested a solution. They could disguise!

Hence, Shadow Four took out two masks.

Mo Yanzhi and Han Tingxuan immediately put them on and became two different persons. They disguised as a pair of an ordinary couple who went on the street with their child.

As for Tian Zhuoyou, he didn't wear a mask. He just wore a small hat and put on some makeup!

Hence it was hard to tell his original appearance. After dressing up with a set of ordinary clothes, he was literally like a child of farmers.

Shadow 17 was seventeen years old this year and was good at disguising. Although his martial arts couldn't compare to Shadow Four, since he was ranked as a secret guard, he was not that bad.

He also disguised himself as a babysitter. He looked like a village kid.

Thus, these four people disguised as peasants who just came to the city.

The child was excited when he saw the toys on the street booth. "father, what is that?"

"Daddy, what is that?" The kid asked a lot.

"Youyou, that's sweet gourd. It's very delicious, but it'll rot your teeth if you eat too much. Is one enough?” Han Tingxuan asked.

"Okay," the child was very happy.

Han Tingxuan bought three, one for the child, one for Mo Yanzhi, and the other for Shadow 17.

Shadow 17 looked at the sugar gourd in surprise. "Brother, I am good."

Shadow 17 was not used to calling Han Tingxuan “brother” yet. He sounded a little awkward and shy just like a shy village boy!

Han Tingxuan smiled. "It's okay. Take it. I have enough money for it.”

Han Tingxuan tried his best to make him look more like a caring big brother.

Only then did Shadow 17 take it carefully.

The child asked at this time, "Uncle, is it delicious?"

Shadow 17 nodded. "Yes, delicious!"

"Haha," the peddler laughed. "You have a happy family. My grandson is the same age as this boy. He likes to eat sugar gourd. I'm worried about his teeth problem. Kid, if you like it very much, take it. This is from me.”

As he said this, the peddler gave him another sugar gourd.

Tian Zhuoyou didn't take it but he looked at Han Tingxuan and Mo Yanzhi.

Han Tingxuan smiled shyly and refused. "Thank you for your kind gesture. But we can pay for it. It’s hard to run a business.”

"Please take it! I insist!" The peddler said.

Han Tingxuan said, "Youyou, say thank you."

"Thank you!" Tian Zhuoyou immediately thanked the peddler, then happily took another sugar gourd over.

The peddler laughed. "He is so cute, even cuter than my grandson, and he is such a sensible boy."

Han Tingxuan also smiled and was about to leave when a green-clothed she-man ran over, seemingly heading to them!

Han Tingxuan, Mo Yanzhi, and Shadow 17 immediately became alert.

The peddler saw the young green-clothed she-man, and he became serious and stepped out.

At this moment, the she-man in green also arrived. He grabbed the peddler's hand and started to cry. "Daddy, go back quickly. My husband is not doing very well."

"What?" The peddler was worried. "Hurry up and leave!" Then he ran away with the sugar gourd.

Han Tingxuan blinked and raised an eyebrow.

Mo Yanzhi frowned slightly. "There must be something bad happened to the peddler's son?"

Shadow 17 also nodded. "Yes, he should be the man's husband."

Han Tingxuan looked at Mo Yanzhi and Shadow 17 speechlessly. "Am I the only one who got the point wrong? Ahem! Alright. I am sorry for what had happened to their family. But didn't you hear that the she-man called the old man daddy?”

Mo Yanzhi and Shadow 17 were shocked.

Han Tingxuan lowered his voice. "17, You are a good disguiser. Did the old she-man wear a disguise?”

“I didn't see it," Shadow 17 said awkwardly.

Han Tingxuan narrowed his eyes. "17, can you tell very easily if a she-man disguises himself as a he-man?"

"Yes!" Shadow 17 said very positively. "Disguising only makes you look like another person on the surface. It cannot change the way you are.”

Just like the three of them, they were all disguised. But it was easy to tell if they were she-man or he-man.

Mo Yanzhi hesitated, "Perhaps the she-man called the old man wrong?"

Han Tingxuan, "…" But there was no way to call a father mommy, right?

"Then let's go take a look," Han Tingxuan decided.
