The Marquis Mansion's Elite Class-Chapter 304

Zong Jincheng’s eyes widened in alarm, and he immediately bolted. "Mother! Mother! Help! That villain is trying to kill me again!!"

Cui Liu and Buyan rushed to block Luo Jingfeng’s path, but with a single leap, he vaulted over them, scooping up the little troublemaker and slinging him over his shoulder.

"Let me go! Put me down, you monster! If you hurt me, my father will make you pay!" Zong Jincheng thrashed wildly, even sinking his teeth into Luo Jingfeng’s shoulder.

But Luo Jingfeng remained unfazed, carrying the little brat straight back to his mansion—the Mansion of the Great General of Pacifying the West.

Luo Jingfeng’s guards blocked Xu Wan’s path, preventing Buyan and Cui Liu from intervening. Xu Wan was frantic, her anxiety boiling over, but she was powerless against the restraint.

Just then, Zong Zhao emerged from the palace.

The moment Xu Wan saw him, it was as if she had spotted a lifeline. Casting aside decorum, she cried out, "Zong Zhao! Hurry, save Jincheng! Luo Jingfeng took him! He nearly strangled Jincheng last time—he won’t hold back!"

Zong Zhao’s expression darkened the instant he saw Luo Jingfeng’s guards restraining Xu Wan.

"Step aside," he commanded coldly.

Recognizing his relationship with Luo Jingfeng, the guards immediately released Xu Wan and let her pass.

Xu Wan rushed to Zong Zhao, clutching his arm. "Zong Zhao, hurry! Save Jincheng!"

Zong Zhao glanced into the distance, but Luo Jingfeng had already vanished.

"Don’t panic," he reassured her. "Luo Jingfeng won’t harm Jincheng."

Xu Wan remained unconvinced. "But they’re enemies! Jincheng once stabbed him with a sword—"

"That was in the past," Zong Zhao said, guiding her into the carriage. "Come, we’ll go to Luo’s residence to fetch him."

"Alright!" Xu Wan quickly settled into the carriage as it began moving.

Though her worry for Jincheng lingered, Zong Zhao’s unwavering confidence gradually soothed her. His calm demeanor eased her fear, leaving only impatience in its wake.

"Jincheng must be terrified," she murmured, on the verge of tears. "I never should have brought him here to wait for you. Then he wouldn’t have run into Luo Jingfeng…"

Zong Zhao hesitated, weighing his words carefully before finally saying, "Jincheng will become someone Luo Jingfeng cherishes deeply."

"What?" Xu Wan looked up, stunned.

What… what did that mean?

How had the boy who was nearly strangled to death suddenly become someone Luo Jingfeng would dote on?

At the Mansion of the Great General of Pacifying the West, Luo Jingfeng hauled the squirming child off the carriage. Zong Jincheng continued to howl and struggle, leaving bite marks all over Luo Jingfeng’s shoulders—only to be met with a scornful chuckle.

Infuriated by the mockery, Zong Jincheng shrieked, "You monster! Put me down! Let me go!!"

Inside the mansion, a group of officers had been waiting.

Seeing Luo Jingfeng return, they promptly saluted. "Welcome back, Great General!"

Luo Jingfeng gave a dismissive nod before carrying the little brat into the inner chambers.

The officers exchanged bewildered glances.

"Isn’t that Zong Zhao’s son?"

"Rumor has it Zong Zhao has allied with us. Did the Great General take a liking to his son too?"

"The Great General has never cared for children, yet he’s carrying this boy himself. He must be quite fond of him—might even adopt him as a foster son."

"Very likely…"

Amid the lively speculation, only General Pang and Military Advisor Gou—who knew the truth—stood frozen in shock.

"Advisor, that’s Zong Jincheng… the same Zong Jincheng the Great General ordered us to investigate…"

"General, ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‍it can’t be. If it were really him, why would the crown prince visit him every month? Take him everywhere?"

"Exactly! The crown prince would’ve killed him long ago… unless the prince has gone mad."

"It must be a mistake. The Great General has surely been deceived."

In the inner chamber, Zong Jincheng was tossed onto the bed. Finally free to move, he reached for his jade pendant—only for Luo Jingfeng to start stripping off his clothes.

The little troublemaker shrieked, "Pervert!!"

Luo Jingfeng snorted and continued undressing him. The boy’s feeble kicks were nothing more than tickles, and soon, Zong Jincheng was left bare.

Clutching himself in outrage, the little troublemaker spat, "Shameless! Scoundrel! Villain! Monster—"

Luo Jingfeng flipped the boy over, inspecting every inch of him before muttering, "Not a single birthmark…"

Zong Jincheng’s face burned crimson with fury. He had a thousand curses to hurl, but his refined education had erased all the vulgar words from his memory. All he could do was fantasize about kicking Luo Jingfeng’s skull in.

Then, Luo Jingfeng spotted a corner of something peeking out from the discarded clothes. His eyes widened as he snatched it up.

It was his third sister’s jade pendant.

While Luo Jingfeng stood frozen, staring at the pendant, Zong Jincheng hastily yanked his clothes back on, mentally cursing the tyrant.

Just as he finished dressing and prepared to bolt, Luo Jingfeng suddenly pulled him into a crushing embrace.

Unused to holding children, Luo Jingfeng didn’t temper his strength, squeezing the little troublemaker until tears sprang to his eyes.

"Let me go—ack—you brute…" Zong Jincheng sobbed.

Hearing the strain in his voice, Luo Jingfeng immediately loosened his grip. As he looked down at the boy—his tear-streaked face, reddened eyes—he saw the spitting image of his third sister.

Luo Jingfeng’s own eyes grew moist. Gripping Zong Jincheng’s shoulders, his expression was unreadable.

At last, he spoke softly:

"Your uncle has finally found you."
