TFWYH – Chapter 750 Yin and Yang Reversed

Qin Suyun still wanted to argue with her parents, but Tang Tiansheng interrupted her calmly.

“Yun-niang, let it go. It’s getting late, and Lord Yi is hosting a banquet tonight to entertain the envoys. You’re also pregnant, so why don’t you come back and rest with your husband?”

“But… but my father and mother…” Before she could finish speaking, Qin Suyun clutched her stomach, her expression suddenly changing.

“Yun-niang, what’s wrong?” Tang Tiansheng panicked. Seeing her about to collapse, he quickly caught her.

“I… I think I’m about to give birth…” Qin Suyun’s face turned pale, her eyes filled with helplessness.

Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin were equally terrified and rushed over.

“My daughter, don’t scare us!”

“Move aside!” Tang Tiansheng paid them no mind. He scooped Qin Suyun into his arms and hurried outside.

“Daughter! Our daughter!” Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin immediately chased after them.

Before leaving, Aunt Qin deliberately locked the front door.

There were several chests full of gold and silver inside the house—she couldn’t risk thieves stealing them.

…

After learning that Ling Shang was actually the leader of the Feng envoys, Yi Zhanhong spent most of the evening asking him questions.

Ling Shang made no attempt to conceal the purpose of his journey and told him much about the customs and traditions of the Feng Dynasty.

Apart from matters concerning the Ling Clan, which he refused to discuss, he answered everything that could be answered.

Because he knew that Yi Zhanhong would relay all of this information to the Emperor.

Since Qin Suyun had gone into labor prematurely from emotional distress, Tang Tiansheng did not attend the welcoming banquet.

Murong Hong and his younger son were also distracted and absent-minded.

Halfway through the banquet, they found an excuse to leave.

Ling Shang understood that they were worried about Qin Suyun and said nothing.

Yi Zhanhong, however, clicked his tongue in amazement.

“This Miss Qin truly married into a good family. I’ve never seen a father-in-law care so much about his daughter-in-law.”

Ling Shang smiled faintly.

“In Feng, women hold higher status than men. In Feng, Yun-niang is naturally Tiansheng’s wife and master. If she gives birth to a daughter, Tiansheng himself will rise in status through his child. It is only natural for General Murong, as his father, to be concerned.”

Yi Zhanhong: …

He understood.

It was just like wealthy households where mothers-in-law cared deeply about whether their daughters-in-law gave birth to sons or daughters.

A son could inherit the family estate.

A daughter was considered a financial burden.

Except that in Feng, the roles of men and women were completely reversed.

This…

This, this…

The world was turned upside down!

Little did he know that, in the eyes of the people of Feng, it was the Heavenly Dynasty that had things backwards.

The customs of the two lands were simply far too different.

Most importantly, Ling Shang had openly stated the purpose of this visit: to bring the Crown Heir back to Feng.

At this point, Yi Zhanhong could only worry about Ling Yu.

Would that child really let Wan-niang leave?

Or rather, would Wan-niang be willing to leave Ling Yu?

After the banquet ended, Yi Zhanhong returned to his room and immediately sent a message by carrier pigeon to inform the Emperor.

When the Emperor in the capital finished reading the letter, the corners of his eyes twitched.

Well then!

Previously, he had thought Tang Wan’s status was too low to match his precious eldest grandson. He had even considered whether Tang Wan might conveniently die of an unexpected illness.

But now?

Tang Wan had transformed into the Crown Heir of the Feng Kingdom. Being worthy of his beloved grandson was no longer an issue—but so was the fact that they might soon be separated by thousands of miles.

The future Empress of the Heavenly Dynasty was also the future Empress of Feng…

What on earth was this situation?

Thinking of how deeply his precious grandson cared for Tang Wan, the Emperor felt a tremendous headache and, for the first time, found himself truly torn.

If he wished to maintain friendly relations with Feng, then Tang Wan could not be touched—unless he wanted to provoke a war.

But even if he did nothing, Tang Wan…

Could not be kept here forever.
