A vein throbbed in Hua Manman's temple.
She spoke up before Li Xun could say anything.
"I don't believe you've been introduced. This is the Heir of the Regent King."
Li Yu was not distracted by her words and pressed on.
"But he just called you his mother, didn't he?"
Hua Manman gave a helpless smile. "The boy hasn't seen his mother in a long time and misses her dearly. He saw that I bear some resemblance to her, so he's taken to clinging to me and calling me 'Mother.' Children speak without thinking. I hope none of you will take it to heart."
Li Yu was skeptical. "Is that all there is to it?"
Hua Manman retorted, "What else could it be? You don't actually think I'm the biological mother of the Heir of the Regent King, do you? If that were true, wouldn't that make me the Regent Queen? Do you all think that's possible?"
Li Yu was at a loss for words.
The others were also left speechless.
