Chapter 165: The Young General and the Handsome Emperor (18)

Yan Ancheng gazed at the young boy before him.
He seemed so small, so soft.
He didn’t know...
The color of his eyes deepened gradually.
Yan Ancheng couldn’t help but lower his head.
The little girl widened her eyes, staring at the handsome face so close to her.
Asi felt her heart pounding as if it would burst out.
Suddenly, she pushed Yan Ancheng away; the man staggered slightly from the force.
“You—you pervert!” the girl shouted angrily.
She wiped her lips fiercely and then ran off.
The guards nearby wanted to stop her but dared not.
After all...
Their lord had just kissed someone forcibly.
And it was a young boy at that.
It was unimaginable.

Yan Ancheng stood still.
Slowly, he raised a hand to his lips.
His already captivating eyes curved into a smile, radiating endless charm.
He stared in the direction Asi had fled.
In a low voice, he said, “Little general, do you think you can run away?”
“This pervert, I’ve got you.”

Asi bought nothing and returned directly to the Wei residence.
“Miss... you’re back...”
Asi looked at the strange old woman before her and uttered a soft “oh.”
The Wei residence was bustling with noise today; right upon entering, she heard the commotion.
It came from the place where Lady Wei lived.
Asi hurried over.
Wei Jingyu was there as well.
Lady Wei sat in the main hall, while Aunt Yue wore a strange expression, sitting off to one side.
Kneeling below was a young woman of exquisite beauty.
Her seductive eyes and alluring figure exuded a beguiling charm even while kneeling.
“Madam, I am with child by Master Wei...”
The woman’s hand rested on her belly, her face brimming with pride as she looked up.
Lady Wei clenched her hand into a fist by her side. She opened her mouth but seemed at a loss for words.
Over the years, Master Wei had many women outside, but none had ever conceived a child.
Nor had any been so brazen as to come here and threaten Lady Wei.
Wei Jingyu was furious; just moments ago, he had heard about the woman causing a disturbance in the market and had rushed home.
“A child? Whose child? Does our Wei family acknowledge this?”
Standing beside Lady Wei, Wei Jingyu glared coldly at the woman kneeling below.
The woman immediately began to weep.
“You, you Wei family bully people! Master Wei slept with me, and I only came seeking a place to stay, yet you...”

The woman extended a delicate hand, trembling as she pointed at Wei Jingyu.
“Then go find your Master Wei. Why come to my mother?” Asi stepped forward, standing directly before the woman.
Asi pursed her lips, her dark eyes filled with doubt.
Softly she said, “It was Master Wei who slept with you, not my mother. If you want to cry, go in front of Master Wei. Don’t disturb my mother.”
After speaking, Asi clasped her hands behind her back, adopting a posture reminiscent of Wei Jingyu. Years of battlefield experience lent her a stern aura when she furrowed her brows.
“Little master... how can you be so unreasonable...”
The woman glared up at Asi.
Asi pressed her lips impatiently and sighed.
“Exactly, unreasonable.”
She waved her hand. “Guards, escort her out.”
The woman cast Asi a sorrowful glare.
Asi paused for a moment.
She finally realized why the woman seemed so familiar.
Asi glanced up at Lady Wei seated in the hall.
If not for the white hair and the fine lines on her face...
The woman looked strikingly like Lady Wei.
