Feng He remained calm and showed no displeasure at Madam Fang's loud outburst.

Upon hearing this news, Madam Fang was truly panicked!

She grew up with her aunt from a young age, and was only brought to Kyoto by her parents when it was almost time for her to be married.

Compared to Kyoto, she considered herself to be more cunning and resourceful.

Therefore, she tried every means to join the Marquis's mansion and become the first wife of the Marquis.

Unfortunately, her husband was not to her liking, so she could only try her best to please her mother-in-law and treat her sister-in-law well.

Seeing that her sister-in-law was about to marry into the royal family and soon become a concubine second only to the emperor, she was now a powerful figure.

She and her two children could have used her sister-in-law's fame to elevate their own status, but then the Crown Prince got into trouble!

Instead, he was killed by the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince!

She had hoped that Pearl would marry her sister-in-law's prince and enter the royal family, but now everything had turned to ruins.

What will happen to her daughter in the future?

Now we can only rely on my uncle to think of a way to turn things around, otherwise we can forget about future wealth and prosperity.

I'm afraid even survival will be difficult!

No! She had to take her two children and go to them before her uncle left!

Madam Fang hurriedly bid farewell to Feng He and left with her child and a group of maids and servants.

On the other side, after Zhen Wanwan and the others disembarked, they sat in the pavilion and helped carry their belongings down.

Under Zhu Yuan's gaze, Zhen Wanwan had no choice but to take Tianbao back from Qu Huaiyuan's arms.

Sweetie was incredibly well-behaved at this moment, glancing at her mother one moment and then looking at Zhuyuan with drool in her eyes the next.

She had a bold idea at that moment!

My mother's grandmother mentioned that she and my brother had children with strangers.

But a while ago, she heard her grandmother say that her mother had a fight with their biological father, and then her mother ran away while pregnant with them!

The man opposite her looked a few years older than her mother, and her mother seemed to know him very well.

But it seemed like there was some misunderstanding between the two. The man opposite her kept glancing at her and her mother, and then looking at Uncle Qu with hostility.

She thought about how her past life, as an adult, looked remarkably similar to the man in front of her.

This is all too much of a coincidence!

She really couldn't help but wonder if this man was her biological father!

Alas! It's a pity that she's too young; she needs to be waited on hand and foot, so she can't even investigate!

"Oh! What's wrong with Sweetie? Why is she sighing like that!"

Seeing Tianbao sigh like a little adult, Qu Huaiyuan couldn't help but tease her a couple of times.

To his surprise, the girl opposite him seemed to be looking at him with pity.

Sweetie: Poor Uncle Qu, I was hoping you would be my daddy!

Now that a man who is suspected to be her biological father has appeared, this wish has naturally been shattered.

After all, this kind of storyline is too similar to the novels their mothers told them about pregnant wives running away with their babies!

In these situations, the biological father is often the domineering CEO, Uncle Qu is the tragic second male lead, and the mother is the female lead.

A series of stories involving love and hate will unfold between the male and female protagonists, culminating in a happy ending!

She and her brother were also responsible for bringing their mother and father together!

Just thinking about her gives me a headache!

Although this person is very likely their biological father, she prefers Uncle Qu, who is gentle, considerate, and very good to her!

She really dislikes domineering, chauvinistic CEOs who have the final say!

Thinking of this, Tianbao glanced at Zhuyuan a few more times, and his appearance was almost identical to the person in her memories of her past life.

Only the hair at the temples turned black and the skin became smooth; everything else remained unchanged.

Zhu Yuan remained taciturn on the surface, answering only one question at a time.

Only he knew how nervous he was; his palms were even sweaty.

This pressure stemmed from his inner turmoil and the scrutinizing gazes of the two people opposite him, one large and one small.

He has already investigated the matter concerning Zhen Wanwan and the two children.

Sure enough, both children were born to him and Zhen Wanwan!

He came with a good plan: he wanted to give Zhen Wanwan a proper status!

only…

Looking at the young woman opposite him, he felt a pang of resentment.

The other party's family is simple and harmonious, and her family and friends seem to treat her very well.

He was all alone; his father had died early, and his mother was of low social status.

He was a loner from a young age, and even a dog wouldn't deign to stay with him.

A man like him can't give her the happiness she wants!

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Qu Huaiyuan, who was chatting and laughing beside him.

Although the other party came from a poor family, he was very knowledgeable, and most importantly, he had a very good personality and temperament.

Someone like him deserves her!

Qu Huaiyuan noticed Zhu Yuan's deep eyes and unconsciously wiped his face.

"My esteemed strategist! Is there something dirty on my face?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to them.

Zhu Yuan coldly replied, "No!"

Qu Huaiyuan found this person inexplicable; otherwise, why would a grown man stare at him?

Zhen Wanwan kept probing into the two of them.

Their eyes were full of gossip. Whether you should say it or not, they were both quite handsome, and they looked so good together!

Moreover, their contrasting temperaments—one cool and the other warm—create a sense of perfect compatibility.

Sensing Zhen Wanwan's strange gaze, Zhu Yuan turned to look directly at her.

Zhen Wanwan could only awkwardly avert her gaze, just as their carriage had been assembled.

Everything was put inside.

Zhu Yuan silently walked up to Zhen Wanwan and said, "I have arranged accommodations. You can rest in Anqing Prefecture for a few days."

The old lady Li and the others behind her looked at Zhen Wanwan and Zhu Yuan with suspicion, not understanding when their daughter (younger sister) had become so familiar with the strategist.

Zhen Wanwan's ears burned, and she looked at Zhu Yuan under the gossipy gazes of the crowd, saying, "We're here to see my aunt and the others. It's still early, and my mother and the others probably want to go to my aunt's house as soon as possible."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhen Wanwan regretted it and wanted to slap her own thigh!

Actually, her original intention was to stay in Anqing Prefecture to find out more about the situation.

But when faced with Zhu Yuan, she inexplicably opened her mouth and refused.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuan turned to look at Old Madam Li and Old Master Zhen and said gently, "You two should stay in Anqing Prefecture for a few days! The journey to other counties is not safe these days."

Grandma Li and Grandpa Zhen looked at each other, each trying to read something from the other's eyes.

Unfortunately, all they saw were bewildered eyes.

Grandma Li nervously clutched the hem of her clothes and replied, "Oh...that's fine too."

She turned to Zhen Wanwan, still a little confused, and asked, "Wanwan, why don't we rest here for a few days?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhen Wanwan nodded and said, "Mother, you can decide for us!"

The other three families were originally following the Zhen family, so naturally they would follow wherever the Zhen family went!

A smile appeared in Zhu Yuan's eyes as he stepped out of the pavilion and personally led the way for the group.

"Please follow me, everyone!"
