Yao Qianshu and Lin Chang'an exchanged a smile.

They walked hand in hand into the mansion.

"That was awesome!"

"Chang'an, I don't know how your mother could have gotten involved with someone like that."

“If your mother had married my father, none of this would have happened.”

"Or, I could go talk to my dad..."

"Ahhh." Before Yao Qianshu could finish his sentence, he was picked up like a chick.

Upon seeing the regent's dark face, Lin Chang'an turned and ran.

"Uncle Regent~"

Yao Qianshu recognized the person who had come and called out weakly.

"Who's your uncle?" The Regent's voice carried a hint of displeasure. "Next time, if your father marries Lan Yin again, I'll make sure you never see your father again!"

Yao Qianshu paused, "Can't I see my father?"

"Hmm," the Regent said calmly.

Suddenly, Yao Qianshu burst into laughter three times, "Hahaha, very good, Regent Prince!"

"Regent, please make sure I never see my father again."

"Send him to the border, I'm so annoyed with him, he beats me every day..."

The Regent knew that this brat couldn't possibly say anything nice.

Luckily, I was clever enough to pull him behind General Yao.

General Yao was happily eating his meal when he heard the voice of his rebellious son behind him.

I almost crushed the bones.

He jumped up in a flash.

"Treason!"

"I'll break your dog legs..."

Startled, Yao Qianshu broke free from the Regent's clutches, jumped to the ground, and ran out of Ping'an Prefecture.

"Help!"

"General Yao murdered his own son..."

Lin Wanwan had already become familiar with the wealthy women at her desk.

Right now, she's wide awake and eagerly wants to be fed.

The second prince on the men's side was dumbfounded. How long had it been? They were already so obedient.

This scene looks so familiar!

It looks so much like someone's past scene at a fairy gathering, where he was surrounded by women on both sides.

He shivered twice.

Hehe, everyone is so enthusiastic!

[This is truly a privilege; it's so nice to be waited on hand and foot.]

"Delicious!"

"Mommy~ I want~ meat~"

She stretched out her greasy hand and pointed to the chicken leg not far away.

Ye Lanyin covered her face.

It's unbearable to look at; he calls everyone he sees "Mom."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wan burst out laughing.

"Wanwan, call her Auntie~"

Lin Wanwan: "Eh~~~" The sound was drawn out for a long time.

Everyone burst into laughter at her adorable appearance.

The second prince withdrew his gaze and stared longingly at the small, transparent beads in the hands of the various officials.

He said timidly, "Prime Minister Jiang, may I take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Jiang leaned back slightly, somewhat wary, and asked, "Second Prince, don't you have one?"

The second prince shook his head, looking aggrieved, and deliberately made himself look sad: "No."

Prime Minister Jiang simply stuffed the bead into his robes.

Don't even think about fooling him anymore!

He was deceived by his wife once, and he never trusted anyone again.

"Well, Second Prince, this isn't anything good either."

"You must not touch the explosives that Wanwan gave me, or you might get blown up."

Second Prince: ...Such a lame excuse! You don't treat me like a human being at all!

"Your Excellency the Grand Secretary..." The Second Prince turned his head with a smile and met the Grand Secretary's gaze.

When the Grand Secretary heard him call him, he ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice, then picked up his bowl and chopsticks and said with a smile, "Second Prince, this humble official will go and offer you a toast."

"Yes, a toast..."

With that, he fled in panic.

Having been fooled by His Majesty once, he no longer trusted anyone in the royal family.

Now that he's in power, there's nothing we can do about him!

After he left, the second prince turned to look at the table behind him.

To everyone's surprise, all the people sitting around him suddenly ran away.

Second Prince: !!!

Zi Ling, I watered the flowers for you, but you didn't give me a single fragment.

He stood up angrily, ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, someone grabbed my trouser leg.

He looked down and saw that Lin Wanwan had appeared at his feet at some point.

Moved, he knelt down and picked her up.

"Wanwan, are you taking pity on me and bringing me this?"

After hearing this, Lin Wanwan nodded her head repeatedly.

Right?

That's right!!

Then he took out a peanut from his pocket.

"Open!"

Does that mean, make him open it?

The second prince was very excited; it seems she still cares about him.

He held Lin Wanwan in his left arm and squeezed hard with his right hand, immediately opening the peanut shell. He grinned and prepared to stuff the peanut into his mouth.

I made a profit!

It must be an elixir of immortality!

To everyone's surprise, the little guy's greasy little hand snatched the peanut back from the hand he was about to put in his mouth.

"Ugh, you stole my peanuts!"

[Second Prince, you're so naughty!]

[Waaaaah...]

"Waaah..." The little one burst into tears, causing many ministers around to whisper among themselves.

The second prince's expression froze upon hearing the inner voice.

Was it not for him?

Then why are you looking for him?!

He noticed the disapproving looks he was receiving from those around him.

The second prince felt like he had jumped into a fire pit.

He immediately comforted her, saying, "Wanwan, I didn't mean to, don't cry."

The more he tried to comfort her, the louder Lin Wanwan cried.

After a cup of tea.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

A series of pounding sounds came from the dining table.

The poor second prince was breaking peanuts on the table, then putting them in a bowl, grinding them with a mortar and pestle, and then feeding them to Lin Wanwan little by little with a spoon.
