The capital city has never been a place where there are no secrets, and what happened in Wei Daxueshi's residence spread quickly at lightning speed.

Perhaps the rumor that the wise king beat people was so common that most people had no reaction after hearing about it. Instead, the later incident, that the mute eldest son of the Jiang family could speak, aroused everyone's strong interest.

A person who has been mute since birth can actually speak. This is simply a medical miracle!

For something that has gimmicks, suspense and explosive points, people will naturally not miss the opportunity to discuss and spread it.

Therefore, Jiang Zhengchu, who got the news on the day of the incident, went to Jiang Xin's residence as the first thing he did after getting off duty and returning home to confirm the truth of the incident.

At this time, Jiang Xin was trying hard to communicate with Xu's mother, and he was already able to stutter out the three words "Mother Xu".

God knows how surprised and shocked Xu's mother was when she heard Jiang Xin's story. She burst into tears and cried while holding Jiang Xin's hand.

"Xu, Mommy Xu, no no, don't cry." Jiang Xin tried hard to comfort Mother Xu. Although his nose was sore, he still smiled and conveyed his joy to her.

Jiang Zhengchu, who was walking over, heard Jiang Xin's stumbling voice, and frowned in displeasure. Then he remembered that his son was originally a mute.

Stuttering at least sounds much better than being mute.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhengchu's brows relaxed again, and he stood behind Jiang Xin and said lightly: "Can you speak now?"

Jiang Xin was startled when he heard this, and quickly turned around, looking at Jiang Zhengchu nervously and anxiously, and shouted hard: "Dad!"

He had just practiced several times and could already shout out the word.

Jiang Zhengchu was startled when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Xin who looked a little nervous. It was the first time he heard his eldest son call him dad, and it was also the first time he looked at his son seriously since he knew Jiang Xin was mute.

Jiang Xin's mother passed away many years ago. Jiang Zhengchu is not a sentimental person and never reminisces about the past. He has long forgotten what his ex-wife looked like.

But now looking at Jiang Xin, the figure that had long been blurred seemed to gradually become clear in my mind.

Although he pursued Jiang Xin's mother in order to curry favor with the rich and powerful, the woman in his impression was straightforward and innocent, and had the heroism and confidence that ordinary girls did not have.

He naturally liked it when they were newly married.

But later on, General Pingxi's family did not support him, or did not give him the help and status he wanted, which created a rift between the couple.

But it is undeniable that when Jiang Xin was just born, he still had extremely high expectations for his first son.

Unfortunately, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

His eldest son, the only remaining link between him and General Pingxi's family, turned out to be a mute. How could he accept this?

Because of this sense of disparity, he became more and more disgusted and disgusted with Jiang Xin, and wished he had never given birth to such a son!

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Jiang Xin could actually speak.

It turns out that he was not born dumb, he can speak.

If he had hired a few more doctors or servants to teach, would his eldest son have not had to be mute for so many years?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhengchu frowned again.

He has always been conceited and very proud, so he would never admit his mistakes. He is on duty in the court every day and is busy with all kinds of affairs. How could he pay attention to these details?

It must be that Jiang Xin is dumber than others, which is why he needs extra teaching; and it is also because his wife neglected to take care of him that Jiang Xin has been mute for so many years. In short, he is not wrong.

At this time, Fu Xuerong didn't know that her husband had kept a record of her in his heart in order to shirk his responsibility without any guilt.

Jiang Zhengchu sorted out the logic and calmed down. Hearing Jiang Xin stumbling and looking like he was not up to the standard, he frowned and lectured him unhappily:

"Since you can speak, practice more in private. Don't go out and embarrass yourself if you can't speak fluently. I don't want to lose a mute son and get a stuttering son."

After hearing what Jiang Zhengchu said, Jiang Xin put away the smile and expectation on his face, stopped talking, and just nodded obediently.

He thought his father would be happier if he could speak.

But now that he can really speak, his father is unhappy again because he hates stuttering.

He thought that he probably couldn't please his father.

Jiang Zhengchu didn't think there was anything wrong with him. Seeing Jiang Xin nodded, he stopped caring about it. He was still thinking about Fu Yuquan. He frowned and asked, "You have been with the virtuous king for so long. Have you ever heard him mention me?"

Ah? Jiang Xin shook his head when he heard this.

His Highness only said that if anyone from the Jiang family bullied him, he should tell him and he would vent his anger for him, but he did not specifically mention his father.

It's useless! Jiang Zhengchu glared at Jiang Xin and said unhappily: "If there is no one around in private in the future, you can ask His Highness indirectly about his opinion of me, and..."

Jiang Zhengchu didn't want too many people to know about Fu Yuquan, so he could only say cryptically: "You asked His Highness to come to our house for dinner when he was free. There were some misunderstandings before, but now Yu'er has learned her lesson. Now that you work for His Highness, the relationship between our two families will always be better than that of other families."

However, Jiang Xin completely misunderstood his father's hesitant expression, and took out a pen and paper and wrote a paragraph very quickly and fluently, handing it to Jiang Zhengchu: "Father, are you worried that the previous dispute will make His Highness angry and resentful?

His Highness is a very good person, completely different from what has been rumored.

Your Highness is kind and generous, with a broad mind, and has long forgotten the previous conflict. Father, don’t worry about it.”

He is now the wise king's companion, and it is his duty to protect His Highness's reputation.

If pen and paper could not keep up with the speed of speaking, he would have written down a long list of words praising his highness, so that everyone would know how good his highness is!

"...In short, you must follow my instructions! Also, if the prince mentions anything about me in the future, you must tell me everything without missing a word." Jiang Zhengchu glared at Jiang Xin again, then left with a cold face and a wave of his sleeves.

Still holding a grudge and being angry? Who should be holding a grudge and being angry? The previous dispute was clearly Xie Ze's one-sided beating and pressure. What was there for this guy to hold a grudge and be angry about? If anyone was going to hold a grudge, it should be him, this rebellious son with an elbow outward!

"Ah!" Jiang Xin wanted to say that he was the prince's study partner and could not disclose the prince's words without permission, but Jiang Zhengchu had never taken this son seriously, so how could he patiently listen to his answer? He thought that this eldest son who was afraid of and admired him would not disobey him, so he just left.
