When the Marquis of Zhenbei heard someone calling his name, a sudden, inexplicable panic rose in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly took off the only piece of clothing he was wearing—his trousers—and used them to cover his head.

He looked around, his eyes filled with fear and confusion, completely oblivious to his daughter crying beside him.

Then, as if in a panic, he rushed to the courtyard gate and eagerly opened it.

The moment the crowd surged in, he rushed out and ran frantically into the street.

The people on the street, seeing this, couldn't help but laugh out loud, pointing at him.

"Hahaha, who is this? Wearing only underwear, he must be having an affair with some woman."

"Today is National Day, you're really bold."

Rumors spread like wildfire, and everyone was speculating about who the man with his head covered was.

Because the gate to Ye Lanyin's courtyard was damaged by an evil spirit, the group moved to a side courtyard to stay for a while.

Hua Xin was bathing Lin Wanwan inside the room, while Ye Lanyin was coaxing her. They heard Hua Mei's gloating voice coming from behind them.

"Madam, Madam, do you know what I just heard?"

"This is a big event."

I want to know everything, from what melons to what fruits.

Lin Wanwan was afraid of missing out on the gossip, so she cried out twice.

Hua Xin then picked her up and dressed her.

Ye Lanyin chuckled, "You clever little girl."

"What's wrong?"

"This servant just happened to see Master returning wearing only his underwear."

So he went out and quietly inquired on the street.

"I heard that the outer courtyard was destroyed by an evil spirit."

"The old man covered his head with his pants and then ran back from the street."

Wow, the evil spirit is being too kind!

[Congratulations!]

Upon hearing Lin Wanwan's thoughts, Ye Lanyin couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

Just then, Lin Chang'an and Lin Rui'an, who had just walked in from outside, overheard them.

"No way, Dad's playing this big?" Lin Chang'an said, quickly covering his mouth.

"That's right, Third Young Master. I heard he ran around several streets." Hua Mei was still angry about him using talismans.

Lin Rui'an's eyes flashed with a smile, but he managed to suppress it.

After all, he's his father; even if he doesn't like it, he has to put up with it.

Oh dear, how embarrassing!

When I grow up, I will tell others about this.

My own father is the best; he's handsome, dashing, and unparalleled in the world.

I would never do something so embarrassing.

Lin Rui'an's eyes widened.

Lin Chang'an covered his mouth.

They only just found out about something this big?

Isn't my sister Dad's daughter?

Lin Chang'an was about to cry.

Don't he and his sister have the same father?

"Mother..." Lin Chang'an was about to speak when Ye Lanyin stopped him.

[La la la, if one day our real father found out that his three children had recognized a thief as their father, would he eat the Marquis of Zhenbei alive?]

Ye Lanyin's hand trembled, and Lin Wanwan slipped directly from her grasp.

Oh, Mother, hold me tight!

Lin Rui'an reacted quickly and caught Lin Wanwan as she slipped.

The three people's shock overturned their understanding of the world over the years.

Ye Lanyin was terrified.

The children...aren't his?

She thought one of her twins had been switched, and that at least Chang'an and Rui'an were his children.

Unexpectedly... neither Chang'an nor Rui'an were among them.

Neither my daughter nor my son...

Her trembling hands clutched her heaving chest in pain, leaving her unable to recover for a long time.

How did he manage to do it so flawlessly!

The three were still preoccupied with the incident and did not notice the old lady walking in through the door.

"Lanyin, today is National Day. You brought the two children into your yard, but why didn't you bring Shixuan and Shiming?"

"Shiming is still your own son, and Shixuan has been filial to you all these years. How can you be so cruel?"

The old lady's reproachful voice rang out from outside the courtyard.

Ye Lanyin suddenly snapped back to her senses and forcefully suppressed her anger.

She took a deep breath, concealing the hatred in her eyes.

"Mother, my yard was also damaged by the wind. If we bring them here, won't they suffer the same fate?"

The old lady knew that their courtyard gate had been damaged by the wind, but she was still angry that the woman didn't bring the children.

"Wanwan was almost swept away by the evil spirit just now. Luckily, I got down and begged for mercy, and I escaped a disaster."

Before the old lady could even show any joy at the news that Lin Wanwan had almost been blown away, she heard Ye Lanyin say that she had been brought back.

Why don't you just take her away!

unlucky!

As a result, her two daughters were imprisoned and suffered, and her in-laws and sister died.

"What happened to them?" Ye Lanyin asked again.

The old lady sighed, "Alas, that evil spirit somehow managed to blow their door down."

"The doctor said they were fine, but they suddenly developed a high fever."

The old lady leaned on her cane, her eyes filled with pain.

Dehong just came back wearing only his underwear.

Shuang'er's courtyard collapsed again.

Nothing really went smoothly.

Then, seeing that Ye Lanyin's two sons were unharmed, she felt even more resentful.

If they're not my biological child, then they're not my biological child!

"What kind of doctor is Fuyi? He has a fever and doesn't go to get treatment?" Ye Lanyin said unhappily.

The doctor examined her and said it was due to excessive fright.

The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and this has happened. What are we going to do?

"Since it's a fright, you should wear amulets. Doesn't the master usually carry quite a few?"

"Let the master give it to you."

The old lady stared at her blankly.

In the past, whenever something happened to the children, she was always the one who personally took charge and handled it.
