At the thought of being pointed at and gossiped about whenever he went out, Duke Qi closed his eyes briefly. Finally, he made a decision and said:
"Lord Yang, Young Master Yuan must have made a mistake.
There is nothing wrong with my son's health. Junyan is our family's child."
Song Yaoyao and Lord Yang exchanged a glance. Neither had expected Duke Qi to say such a thing.
Duke Qi was still taking the matter far too lightly.
This was not something he could simply gloss over!
Before Song Yaoyao or the others could speak, Madam Qi said:
"My lord, we should get to the bottom of this. Bloodlines are not something we can afford to be careless about!"
Duke Qi had never imagined that the first person to undermine him would be Madam Qi. He glared at her.
Madam Qi was not afraid of Duke Qi in the slightest. She met his gaze and asked:
"Why are you looking at me like that, my lord?
Am I wrong?"
Madam Qi certainly had a point, and Duke Qi could hardly say she was wrong.
Lord Yang also agreed:
"Duke Qi, Madam Qi makes an excellent point!
When it comes to bloodlines, we should establish the truth!"
Yuan Jibai also said:
"I will raise my own son. Though the Yuan Family has fallen on hard times, we have not sunk so low that I need someone else to raise my son for me.
We must get to the bottom of this.
If you insist on playing dumb to shield Qi Boxun and Zhou Jiuer, Duke Qi, I don't mind beating the Dengwen Drum!"
Duke Qi narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Are you threatening me?"
"That is not what I meant.
I merely stated what I intend to do next!"
