A mischievous figure suddenly rushed in through the door and quickly reached the window.

"Mother, is this my little sister?"

"Third Young Master, be careful. Madam has just given birth and is still weak." Hua Xin wiped away her tears and stepped forward to help Lin Chang'an.

Lin Chang'an is the third young master of the family, and he is nine years old this year.

Because she was born prematurely and was small for her size, she almost didn't survive, hence the name Chang'an.

"Aunt Huaxin, I'll be careful. I just want to see Mother and my little sister." Lin Chang'an's carefree face was full of mischief. "Mother, did it hurt when you gave birth to your little sister?"

Ye reached out her hand, her eyes filled with tears, and gently patted Lin Chang'an's head.

"Mother doesn't feel pain."

Behind them, Huaxin and Huamei wiped away their tears with handkerchiefs, afraid that their eldest son would see them.

Lin Chang'an looked down at his sleeping younger sister. Her chubby face was pink and tender, and her lips were still smacking.

Without thinking, he reached out and pinched it.

So cute.

"Chang'an, your sister is still sleeping, don't disturb her."

Lin Chang'an pouted; he just couldn't resist because his little sister was so cute!

Let me tell you what my third brother looks like.

Lin Wanwan was sleeping soundly. She had woken up long ago, but she still couldn't break her bad habit of staying in bed. It was so wonderful to be nestled in her mother's arms.

She was so tender that she didn't want to open her eyes.

What a loser!

have to!

It's not a crime for babies to stay in bed!

Lin Chang'an was startled and withdrew his hand in fright.

Besides him, who is the third child, are there any other people here?

Could it be my younger sister?

He looked down and saw Lin Wanwan blinking her big eyes, her eyelashes fluttering as she stared at him.

[Third brother is actually quite good-looking.]

He was overjoyed to hear the baby's voice again.

He's good-looking.

Ha ha!

How could he, the tyrant of Bianjing, not be handsome?

Showing off!

He secretly smiled when Ye wasn't looking.

But before he could even finish laughing, what he said next made his smile freeze.

Poor Third Brother, he died such a tragic death~

[Normally, Lin Shixuan deliberately led him astray, making him cynical and irresponsible, resulting in constant complaints at their door, and his mother frequently beating him.]

Therefore, he contradicted his mother. When she asked him to study, he tore the book up and threw it at the teacher's face, bringing shame upon his mother.

[Third Brother was a real troublemaker; no wonder he died a tragic death, and there wasn't even a body left...]

Lin Chang'an trembled, and died a tragic death?

[You get your hands and feet broken in a martial arts tournament, chopped into mincemeat and forced to eat it, then pushed off a cliff, leaving no trace of your body. Tsk tsk...]

Lin Wanwan licked her lips and started yelling incoherently.

The gourd toy that Lin Chang'an was holding fell to the ground with a "thud".

He was terrified.

Ye was also terrified.

He clearly tore the book up, and even the servant didn't notice.

The older brother said he would hit the teacher in the face with the book tomorrow, and then the teacher would not dare to assign him homework.

"Oh dear, Chang'er, what's wrong with you? Don't frighten the young lady."

Hua Xin squatted down, picked up the toy, and returned it to Lin Chang'an.

"Mother...where is Father?"

He couldn't calm down.

Seeing that the child showed no abnormalities, Ye concealed the hatred in her heart.

It seems that only she can hear her daughter's true feelings.

"He went out."

"I'm going to find Dad." Lin Chang'an stuffed the gourd into his sister's arms and ran off like a madman.

He thought about his fate, about how he had been thoroughly schemed against, and he couldn't face his mother.

He's such an unfilial son, ugh!

"Come back," Madam Ye hurriedly stopped her.

“Go back to the courtyard. Your father is probably busy with court affairs. It’s alright. There are so many maids around him. They can take good care of your mother.”

Lin Chang'an felt indignant. His father was always so good to his mother, so why wasn't he there when she gave birth?

"Yes, Mother."

Yes, he should go back to the yard.

Aaaaaah!!!

Ye remained on the bed, sitting blankly until night.

At night, Hua Xin came to report.

"Madam, the old lady has returned."

Madam Ye squeezed the bedding. "Bring the child over here."

"Yes, madam."

Hua Mei carried Lin Wanwan out from behind the screen.

She could tell that the lady was waiting for the old lady and the marquis today, but since the marquis had not yet returned, she didn't want to bring it up again, lest she hurt the lady's feelings.

A moment later, an elderly lady dressed in fine clothes, supported by two maids, walked in with a smile.

"Lanyin, I heard you had a daughter."

"He is truly a great contributor to the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion. It seems that today's prayers were effective."

The old lady approached Madam Ye with a smile that seemed to reach her eyes, but when she saw the infant in her arms, her expression faltered slightly.

He really didn't die.

Oh wait, that's not right. She shouldn't be back until tomorrow.

Why did you suddenly come back?

[Could it be that they realized I wasn't dead?]

Ye forced a smile.

"It's all thanks to you, Mother. If you hadn't gone to Master Xuanchan for blessings, your daughter-in-law wouldn't have given birth to such a lovely child."

"Yes...yes," the old lady said insincerely.

"This is a talisman that I specially obtained. Lanyin, please keep it safe and place it on the child to pray for peace."

The old lady took out a bright yellow amulet from her bosom and put it into Ye's hand.

"Mother, no! That's a curse charm."

[The old lady is lying to you. This talisman was drawn by that scumbag father's one-year-old daughter.]

[Mother, wake up! Don't be fooled by her appearance.]

Upon hearing this, Ye threw the talisman in her hand to the ground.

The old lady was so frightened that her face turned ashen. "Lanyin, what are you doing? This was given by Master Xuanchan; not everyone can obtain it!"

She noticed it as soon as she came in; this daughter-in-law is a bit different. Usually, she smiles and calls her "Mom" whenever she sees her.

Not only did she not laugh just now, she also threw the talisman she had given her on the ground.

"Mother, don't be angry. Your daughter-in-law just gave birth and is a little confused. She thought it was some kind of insect." She glanced at Huaxin and said, "Huaxin, pick it up."

"Yes, madam."

The old lady's expression softened considerably when she saw her pick it up.

"Alright, this woman has just given birth and needs to rest. Don't overexert yourself. Hongde hasn't finished his business at court today, so he's resting with his colleagues."

"It's getting late, you should get some rest."

The old lady looked left and right.

"Where is the wet nurse?"
