The housekeeper hesitated and said, “Madam, perhaps it’s best not to act on impulse. After all, you only have the young master as your son…”
“What does that matter? Hmph, this child is just like his father. I should never have given birth to him in the first place…”
Seeing that the mistress was too emotional to listen, the housekeeper had no choice but to stop advising.
As she was about to leave, Yin Yuerong suddenly stopped her again. “Wait, that presumptuous servant, get rid of him for me!”
Her son didn’t need a servant to speak for him.
The housekeeper replied, “Yes.”
Ah, the madam is always protective of her son…
“By the way, madam, there’s one more thing…” The housekeeper hesitated.
Yin Yuerong impatiently said, “Just say what you want to say.”
“I heard… Miss Nie has given birth to the young master’s child. The child is already four or five years old. Since he is the young master’s flesh and blood, should we consider bringing him back?” the housekeeper inquired.
A trace of anger crossed Yin Yuerong’s face, and she looked disgusted. “Withdraw your absurd idea. That child is nothing more than a bast*rd, and he dares to think about entering the Yin family?”
The housekeeper replied, “I spoke out of turn…”
…
In a villa in Tianshui City.
Siyehan had just arrived and began attending to his official duties.
In the study.
Yushao entered and reported, “Sir, Sisha has been detained and will be tried after the summit.”
Siyehan nodded slightly, lifting his head from a pile of thick documents. “Has Chairman Yi returned?”
Yushao shook his head. “Chairman Yi is giving lectures outside and has not returned yet.”
“Notify me as soon as he returns,” Siyehan instructed.
“Yes,” Yushao continued, “Sir, as far as I know, Director Yin had a close relationship with Vice Chairman Qin. If you want to secure the passage of the new legislation, you may need Vice Chairman Yi’s support.”
Yi Lingjun had an excellent reputation in the Independent State, and he had disciples all over. Even among the twelve directors of the Arbitration Association, three were his disciples. Even Director Yin held him in high esteem.
If Siyehan could secure his support, the new legislation would be almost guaranteed. However, Yi Lingjun had no family or heir, making it challenging to gain his favor. Siyehan would need to find a way to persuade him to join their camp.
Siyehan furrowed his brow, as this was indeed his current concern.
Lin Que, who was present, commented, “Yi Lingjun is a martial arts master, highly respected, and lives a saintly life. It’s not easy to win him over. Moreover, I suspect he might be from the same faction as Aunt Rong. He’s unlikely to easily approve of new legislation.”
Siyehan’s expression slightly hardened. “We must try regardless, at any cost.”
Yushao’s eyes gleamed as he spoke, “Chairman Yi is known for his fairness, and it may be challenging to win him over. However, if you could secure Vice Chairman Qin’s support, it would be the fastest way. Otherwise, if your sworn brother takes the lead, we will be in a difficult position. According to my information, Yin Heng has been getting close to the Qin family’s daughter…”
Lin Que raised an eyebrow, looking shocked. “So, are you suggesting that my ninth brother should employ his charm? You really dare to suggest that! Aren’t you afraid he’ll cause trouble and poke holes in the Independent State?”
Yushao coughed lightly, seeming somewhat at a loss for words.
