Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 407 Clearly a Great Demon King

Punishment? Where is the punishment carried out? How is it carried out? Is this what we mean?
Li Zhaoyang and his group, who were initially drowsy from getting up too early and feeling out of place with the ancestral worship team, suddenly became a hundred times more awake.

Everyone looked in the direction Du Anrao was looking and immediately spotted a man in his late twenties, wearing a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses, who looked like a refined scoundrel.

Unfortunately, none of the people sitting next to Du Anrao were from the Xi family, and for a moment they couldn't guess what kind of relative this person was of Xi Jingyue.

"What's wrong?" Xi Jingyue appeared beside Du Anrao at the right time and asked in a low voice.

Du Anrao's eyes brightened slightly, and he pointed to the man who was chatting and laughing with the person next to him and asked, "Mr. Xi, what kind of relative is that?"

"Him? He's the son of my third grandfather's paternal uncle, so he's also my cousin, Xi Siyu."

"My cousin," Du Anrao pondered for a moment, but finally couldn't resist his curiosity and quietly asked Xi Jingyue again, "Does he have a son?"

"Yes, he has a son who is five years old this year. Is there a problem?"

"Nothing, nothing, I was just asking casually."

Xi Jingyue raised the corner of his eye slightly, thinking to himself, "You don't seem to be alright."

Sure enough, as soon as Du Anrao finished understanding the situation from Xi Jingyue, he couldn't help but start revealing the inside story.

He has a son, a five-year-old son!

Li Zhaoyang and the others frowned. So what if they had a son? Surely it wouldn't be...

Before anyone could think further, Du Anrao dropped a bombshell.

But he has azoospermia!

Li Zhaoyang and the others: "!!!"

Even the usually composed Xi Jingyue was nearly caught off guard and gasped when he heard such a shocking revelation.

His cousin has azoospermia, which means he is infertile.

Where did he get such a big son? Could it be...?

While Xi Jingyue was brainstorming, Du Anrao was also talking to himself.

So where did he get such a big son? That's a good question. The son is his wife's and his brother's.

Li Zhaoyang and the others: Holy crap!

Xi Jingyue: "?!!"

To be precise, he was his half-brother, born out of wedlock.

As mentioned before, Xi Jingyue's second and third grandfathers were both extremely philandering old men. Like father, like son, Xi Jingyue's uncles and cousins ​​followed suit, each more shameless than the last.

Unfortunately, these uncles were particularly concerned about their wives' social standing. Take that eldest aunt, for example. Despite her timid and submissive nature and lack of importance at home, her family was actually better off than Xi Wuyong's in some respects. If Xi Wuyong's father hadn't shared the surname Xi, he might not have been able to marry her.

The same goes for this cousin's mother. The only difference is that this aunt is much better off than Xi Wuyong's mother. Not only is she extremely pampered at home, but she is also much more assertive.

Therefore, her son was more confident, at least until the mother and son agreed, none of these women and children she kept outside could step into the house.

[But what good is their forcefulness? Xi Siyu's illness is congenital.]

This means that he will most likely never have his own children in his lifetime.

His wife was initially unaware of this. After two or three years of marriage without conceiving, she had undergone medical examinations herself, all of which came back normal. Under pressure, she secretly collected samples and had her husband tested, only to discover this shocking secret later.

What happened next was predictable. In order to have her own child, Xi Jingyue's cousin-in-law had an affair with her husband's father's illegitimate child.

[This is like a real-life version of "Sister-in-law, open the door, it's me, your brother!" How come you, an illegitimate child, are wearing Pinru's clothes?]

Onlookers: Pfft... What kind of nonsense is this?

Of course, the most important thing is...

[Xi Siyu's father, who is also Mr. Xi's cousin, knows everything about this!]

But he didn't make a fuss about it, nor did he tell his son.

This might be a scandal for his son, but it doesn't matter to him.

After all, the offspring of any of his sons are his bloodline. In fact, compared to his eldest son, who could escape his control at any time and was the child's biological father, he preferred the son who was not very bright but knew how to please him.

Of course, most importantly, he also felt that this was not a bad thing for his eldest son. With this child, his eldest son's hidden illness would not be discovered by the outside world, saving him and his family from the danger of becoming the subject of gossip in high society and being laughed at. It was a win-win situation, how wonderful!
Thus, under his self-pity (self-deception), the matter was successfully concealed.

Everyone: "..." It's hard to say. Sure enough, he wouldn't be too angry if he didn't wear the green hat himself. It must be tough for him to have a dad like that.

However, they clearly forgot Du Anrao's initial assessment of Xi Siyu, a man whose character could be described as "torture"!

All three thought they had kept it a secret. The illegitimate child had even begun to fantasize about inheriting everything his brother possessed effortlessly once the child came of age, thanks to his father's influence. Little did he know, the rightful heir knew everything from the very beginning…

what? !

Li Zhaoyang and the others were startled. Their gazes toward the man with the gentle expression who was chatting and laughing with those around him not far away were filled with a look of surprise and complexity they had never seen before.

At this moment, in their eyes, Xi Siyu has gone from a pitiful little thing who was kept in the dark to a pitiful little thing who had to compromise for the sake of his family's reputation and wear a green hat. What should they do if he is even worse off?

If Du Anrao could know what they were thinking at that moment, he would only laugh at their naivety.

This cousin of the Xi family is a ruthless man. He knows about his illness, the relationship between his wife and brother, and the schemes of the entire family. Yet, he pretends not to know, making everyone believe he is completely ignorant, that he can be manipulated at will. He watches as these people gloat over gaining a little advantage from him, thus becoming increasingly greedy and fantasizing about getting even more.

Li Zhaoyang and the others sensed something was wrong as they heard what was happening ahead. This... how come this isn't the pitiful little thing they imagined? No, this isn't some pitiful little thing at all; it's clearly a great demon king!
[It's like playing cat and mouse, looking down at the mouse scurrying through your palm, watching a swarm of ants struggling to shake the tree, gnawing and gnawing until they think they've beaten it to a pulp, only to find they've barely scratched the bark. Wow, this guy's got something!]

The crowd, chilled to the bone by Du Anrao's words, thought: "..." It's more than just interesting; in real life, we would definitely avoid people like this!
