Yao carries Xuanyu in his arms, gently bouncing the tiny baby boy up and down, as he walks towards Zixuan, who lays eyes on Xuanyu, and sighs.

Zixuan: "Oh god... He's another one of Father's bastards, isn't he, Yaoyao..."

Yao: "He is... Your Mother won't be happy...*

Zixuan: "I know..."

Just then, Xuanyu lets out a small yawn, and buries his little face in Yao's clothes. Both of the tiny boy's older brothers coo at him, and Zixuan wraps him up really tightly in a blanket he bus from a nearby market stall...

Zixuan: "At least he'll be treated better when we get home... No one would dare disrespect Father's son!"

Yao: "... Well... Maybe not his legitimate sons... Have you never noticed how different they treat you and me? Just because I'm illegitimate..."

Zixuan: "They do? Oh... I didn't know... Is that why my clothes are so much more expensive than yours, A-Yao...?"

Yao: "Oh, this goes much further than clothes. As a 14 year old, they give me less food than the main family, imagine what they'll do to a baby... We cannot take him back there!"
