Although she had a premonition in her heart, when this moment really came, Xue Jinhua still felt a little disappointed. She had expected Zhao Yuxuan, thinking that he would have some feelings for this child. However, she still overestimated him.

Zhao Yuxuan's nature is selfish, cold-hearted, and she should have seen this clearly long ago.

"I will be prepared. After all, Brother Fan was brought back to the Marquis' Mansion by you personally, and our Mansion is related to Prince Zhuang's Mansion by marriage. Let's go and send Brother Fan off together tomorrow." Xue Jinhua said calmly.

One had to watch her own son being sent to another home, and the other had to say goodbye to her own grandson. This was undoubtedly a painful and helpless situation for the mother and son.

Zhao Yuxuan frowned, obviously not wanting to go. Wang, who was standing next to him, also looked embarrassed and said, "I have some headaches recently, so I may not be able to go tomorrow. You guys should go!"

Xue Jinhua noticed that Zhao Yuxuan's hands, which were originally hanging down, were now slightly clenched into fists, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions.

"My Lord, don't you want to go tomorrow?" Xue Jinhua asked mercilessly, leaving no room for Zhao Yuxuan to retreat.

Zhao Yuxuan felt conflicted. He actually didn't want to go, but facing his wife's questioning, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At this time, Xue Jinhua continued, "The prince specially sent someone to thank the marquis for bringing back his grandson today, and asked the marquis to come over tomorrow!" There was a hint of firmness and unquestionableness in her voice.

While Zhao Yuxuan was still hesitating, Xue Jinhua said, "The prince must value this child very much. I heard that in order to give Brother Fan a legitimate grandson, the prince even went to the palace to ask the emperor for an imperial decree. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also go there tomorrow."

Hearing this, Wang was shocked and couldn't help but interrupt, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is going there too? This... this is too much honor for Prince Zhuang's Mansion, isn't it?"

Xue Jinhua nodded and explained, "Of course, mother, the prince also died on the battlefield at that time, and our emperor has always felt guilty about Prince Zhuang's mansion, so when the prince proposed to adopt a child, the emperor must give him enough face."

Zhao Yuxuan frowned, secretly complaining in his heart. He knew clearly that he could not refuse this invitation, but his heart was full of reluctance and resistance.

Wang also believed it firmly. After such observation, she thought that it was the right choice for her grandson to go to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, and it was not something difficult to accept.

She firmly believed that as long as the Marquisate could rise, it would only be a matter of time before she could bring her grandson back.

"Yuxuan! Then you can go over there tomorrow!"

If he could take this opportunity to get close to the prince, then even if he didn't use his family connections, he would have a chance to plan a good future for himself. Therefore, he would not let go of this rare opportunity easily.

"Okay, I'll definitely go there tomorrow."

Zhao Yuxuan had his own little plans in mind, but these thoughts were transparent to Xue Jinhua, as if she could hear them through her belly.

She was determined to make him fall harder the higher he climbed.

That night, Xue Jinhua went to Fan Ge'er's room.

At this time, Brother Fan looked at Xue Jinhua warily, with his fists clenched tightly on both sides of his body, but he still appeared cautious.

Xue Jinhua couldn't help but sigh when she saw Brother Fan like this, and said in a soft voice: "Brother Fan, tomorrow the Marquis and I will send you to Prince Zhuang's mansion. From now on, you will be the eldest grandson of Prince Zhuang's mansion."

How could Brother Fan know where the Prince Zhuang's mansion was? How could he know what the eldest grandson of the Prince Zhuang's mansion was? He only knew that after Xue Jinhua said these words, she wanted to drive him away, and he immediately started to make a scene, "No, I don't want to go, I was brought here, this is my home, I don't want to leave."

Yinghua frowned and said to Brother Fan, "Young Master, this is the Marquis's Mansion. Although you are a guest brought back by the Marquis, you have no blood relationship with the Marquis. Now that the Marquis has found a place for you, you should be grateful. Why are you still refusing to leave?"

Although Brother Fan was still young, he could understand what Yinghua said. His face turned red with anger, and he angrily retorted: "What do you mean I'm too lazy to leave? It's obviously you who are too lazy to leave! Don't think I don't know that the Marquis doesn't like this so-called lady at all, why are you still staying here? It's obviously you who took someone else's place, and now you want to drive me away!"

Yinghua became anxious and said quickly, "Young Master, who taught you to say these things? The Marquis' Mansion has done you a favor, how can you speak so recklessly?"

Xue Jinhua knew very well that this child was an ungrateful ungrateful person in his previous life, so she was not angry at him for saying such a thing. Instead, she asked calmly, "Brother Fan, then tell me, whose position did I occupy?"

"Of course..." Brother Fan was about to say it happily, but when he saw Xue Jinhua's eyes, he immediately shut his mouth, "You...you can't get any information from me, I will never tell you, humph!"

This kid is really smart. Even at such a young age, he is already so hard to trick.

"Humph, I don't want to waste any more time talking to you. I'm going to go find the Marquis now to see how he handles this matter. I know you're not sincere to me and you must be lying to me."

Brother Fan said as he ran out, and Yinghua said, "Miss, this young master is too ignorant, I will go after him now."

Xue Jinhua shook her head slightly and said softly, "Forget it, let him be! I think the Marquis will not indulge his temper this time."

Sakura was still a little worried and couldn't help but say, "Miss, although you haven't treated the young master wholeheartedly these days, you have never treated him unfairly. But for some reason, I always feel that this young master seems to be born hostile to you."

Xue Jinhua was shocked. In her previous life, she had taught him wholeheartedly. However, she thought that Fan Ge'er's resistance and defiance were just childish behavior. She never thought that there might be clues behind this.

I think Xue Qing'er and Zhao Yuxuan must have instilled wrong ideas into the child, otherwise how could a young child be like this?

"Brother Fan will be going to Prince Zhuang's mansion tomorrow, and I just want to send him off in a dignified manner. You should be clear about what you can and cannot say, right?"

Yinghua looked guilty, bowed her head and admitted her fault: "Miss, it's all my fault. I spoke without thinking. I hope you will forgive me. In the future, I will be careful with my words and actions and never make the same mistake again."

…………

After Brother Fan went out, he felt extremely aggrieved in his heart. He sobbed and ran quickly to Zhao Yuxuan's room.

"Wuwu... Daddy, wuwu... That hateful woman said she would send the child away, which means she would let me go to Prince Zhuang's mansion tomorrow. Is this true?" Fan Ge'er's voice was filled with fear and anxiety.

Although there was no one around, Zhao Yuxuan was still startled by Brother Fan's shouting. He frowned and scolded the servant with an unhappy look on his face, "How do you look at people? What if someone sees you?"

The servant looked innocent and lowered his head to explain: "My Lord, I tried to stop him just now, but the young master was crying and making a fuss. I was afraid that it would alert more people, so I let him in."

The most important thing is that I can’t stop it even if I want to!

Zhao Yuxuan waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, you can go down!"

After the servant left, Zhao Yuxuan picked up Brother Fan and asked softly, "Brother Fan, tell me, what happened?"

Brother Fan hugged Zhao Yuxuan tightly, choking with sobs, "Wuuuuu...Daddy, Daddy, the eldest lady said that she will send me away tomorrow. Is this true? Wuuuu..." Tears slid down his cheeks and dripped onto Zhao Yuxuan's clothes.

Zhao Yuxuan remained silent. He did not want to deceive Brother Fan, so he said, "Yes, Brother Fan, I will send you to Prince Zhuang's mansion tomorrow."

When Brother Fan heard this, tears immediately welled up in his eyes and he choked up and said, "Daddy, no, wuwuwu... I don't want to go there. You clearly told me that this is my home, and that I can live here legitimately and become the owner of this place, but... Daddy, why is this happening? Why are you sending me away?"

After Fan Ge'er was born, due to Xue Qing'er's poor health and the Xue family's fear that her reputation would be damaged, Fan Ge'er was raised outside by Zhao Yuxuan. Now, he finally has a stable home, but he has to face separation again, and his heart is filled with fear and anxiety.

Zhao Yuxuan gently stroked Brother Fan's head and comforted him, "Brother Fan, listen to what Daddy said, this is only temporary. Daddy can't recognize you now, but don't worry, after you go to Prince Zhuang's mansion this time, you can be with Mom openly."

When Brother Fan heard that he could be with his mother, his eyes lit up and he jumped up happily: "Daddy, is what you said true?"

"Of course, Brother Fan, this time we go to Prince Zhuang's mansion to recognize you. From now on, you can be with your mother openly, and no one will stop you." Zhao Yuxuan said with a smile, touching Brother Fan's head.

Brother Fan had a happy smile on his face and asked happily, "Dad, when are we going to leave?"

Zhao Yuxuan looked at Brother Fan's expectant eyes and replied with a smile: "Soon, we will set off tomorrow. However, there is one thing you must remember, that is, you cannot say that I am your father in front of outsiders. Once your father has done everything, I can take you and your mother back."

Brother Fan nodded obediently, his heart full of joy and anticipation. Although he was still a little reluctant, he stopped crying when he thought about seeing his mother.

"Dad, I understand!" Brother Fan held Zhao Yuxuan's hand tightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Zhao Yuxuan looked at his sensible son and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. But he knew that all this was for their future. As long as they got through this difficult time, the family would be reunited.

However, Zhao Yuxuan did not realize that this departure would be a decision that could not be reversed.
