Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Yeah, it's much better, he can eat and sleep, the same as before, hehehe, when he gets better, the lonely king will let him enter the palace and learn how to teach children with the two of you."

"The prince is joking, the prince is joking" ---------------------

At this time Zhang Wenxi came over with Lan Jizong, and Li Shenfu and Li Shenyou held hands together, "My lord, the two young ones will not bother the lord and Eunuch Lan, and leave."

"Both please."

Li Shenfu and Li Shenyou exchanged salutes with Zhang Wenxi and Lan Jizong, and Defang saw that Lan Jizong was holding a child in his arms, "Eunuch Lan, I haven't seen you for more than a year, how are you doing?"

"The little one pays respects to the lord, and thanks to the lord, everything is fine with the little one."

"Eunuch Lan, is this child your newly adopted son?"

"Yes, my lord, how do you know?"

"Eunuch Lan, the lonely king wants to ask Eunuch to do something."

"My lord is serious. I will never refuse my lord's orders."

Defang looked at the child, "Eunuch Lan, did you buy this child from the casino Cui Shengjie for 100 taels?"

Lan Jizong was taken aback, "My lord, it is true that the young one bought this child from Cui Shengjie. But, the young one is. There is a written statement from the child's family. It is not forced to sell the child."

"Eunuch Lan misunderstood. The lonely king didn't mean that. The lonely king just wanted to confirm the situation. I don't know if you can bring Eunuch Lan with you?"

"Bring it." Lan Jizong took out the evidence, "Look, there is also the handprint of Cui Shengjie, the guarantor, and Cui Shengjie was given an extra 50 taels."

Defang looked at the written evidence, "Well, that's right, the child's family name is indeed Bainianchao, but Cui Shengjie has already been arrested. He set up a private casino to swindle money, and is currently locked up in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion."

"My lord, the little one doesn't know about this, the young one."

"Eunuch Lan, the lonely king came here for this son."

"But my lord, according to the written evidence established by the child's relatives, according to the law, the younger one can adopt this child."

"Eunuch Lan, this son's immediate relatives are all dead. According to the law, only the closest relatives can make a contract of sale."

"Then, isn't this century-old super close relative of the child?"

"Yes, but there is another person who is closer than him, and now this person wants to get the child back."

"who is it?"

"It's Baili."

"Grandpa Baili? You mean to say that Grandpa Baili belongs to this child. A close relative? This. What's going on here?"

Defang briefly explained the matter to Lan Jizong, and only then did Lan Jizong understand, "So that's the case. I never thought that this child's background is so pitiful."

"That's right, Baili gave all his money to his uncle for the sake of this child, and almost died in the end. The lonely king also sent people to search for it for a long time, but he couldn't find it anywhere in the capital, so he had to ask Eunuch Zhang for help. But I found a few people who were not contacted by Cui Shengjie, and it was not until Cui Shengjie was captured that I found out that the child was adopted by Eunuch Lan."

"I understand, little one." Lan Jizong looked at the child, "It seems that I, Lan Jizong, have no relationship with you as father and son."

"As Eunuch Lan, it's not difficult to adopt another son."

"My lord, I didn't want to adopt any more sons at first, but when Cui Shengjie came over with this child in his arms, I felt that he was a blessed person at first glance, and I felt that I was destined to be with him, so I spent 100 taels to accept him. Unexpectedly, it turns out that the youngest one is just his fate." Lan Jizong handed the child to Defang, "My lord, please give the child to Baili Gonggong."
