In the end, Heir Pei couldn't take Qu Fulan away.
Because Madam Pei intercepted them before they could leave.
Could a son really compete with a mother whose leg injury hasn't healed yet for someone?
Naturally, he couldn't.
Heir Pei didn't have the chance to properly explain anything to his mother, so he pulled her aside and subtly threatened, "If you dare acknowledge any goddaughter or godson outside, I'll become a monk tomorrow."
Madam Pei was shocked, "Is it that serious? Even if I recognized a goddaughter or godson, it wouldn't affect your position in my heart."
Heir Pei laughed without humor, "You can try, mother."
Of course, Madam Pei dared not try. She only had one son; she couldn't just watch him become a monk.
So in the end, Qu Fulan attended the banquet as a guest of honor.
Since Qu Fulan wasn't going, Heir Pei also decided not to go to Prince An's estate outside the city, finding it uninteresting.
