Chu Yan is not Duke's Biological Son

Each word rang out with firmness!

Elder Cao looked at Chu Yan, who was holding his neck and his face flushed with excitement, and a seed of doubt began to grow in his heart.

It seemed... seemed like he was truly a loyal patriot.

But!

No matter whether Chu Yan was loyal to the country or not, the Chu family was flourishing at the moment. If this matter wasn't used to suppress them, the Chu family would only grow even more powerful in the future.

The Ninth Prince was also supporting his wife, and soon, the entire court and even the whole Mu Nation would be dominated by the Chu family!

Elder Cao gritted his teeth, making up his mind, and said, "What you say makes sense. This matter can be discussed later, but for now, let's go to the palace. The officials are waiting."

After Chu Yan calmed down, he realized he had acted disrespectfully earlier. He quickly bowed and lowered his head. "My apologies, Lord Cao. I misspoke."
