"Yanran?" An Zhongtao thought for a moment. "She has been very nice and well behaved recently. Did An Ranyue bully her?"

"Yes, she is still depressed. I don't know how I offended her. However, as soon as she mentioned it to me, I analyzed where An Ranyue's sense of superiority came from. So, General, please consider our Yanran. If she marries into Prince Kang's Mansion as a concubine's daughter, I'm afraid her future life will not be easy..." Lian Jinrong said in one breath and looked at An Zhongtao's reaction.

An Zhongtao nodded: "Is that so? I will consider it, don't worry."

Lian Jinrong was happy and recognized her daughter as the legitimate daughter. So, shouldn't she first promote herself to be the co-wife?

This is a roundabout way to save the country, and no matter what others say, they will not be able to find any flaws.

An Qingran came to the East Warm Pavilion to see Mingchen, and saw that her mother looked depressed again.

Mingchen's body had completely recovered. He looked at An Qingran with his bright eyes, babbling something non-stop. When he was excited, saliva from the corners of his mouth slid across his face and flowed to his ears. An Qingran tried to probe him: "Mother, is your aunt bothering you again?"

Lian Jinyu looked up in surprise: "Why do you think so?"

"The mansion is so quiet now. If it weren't for Auntie causing trouble, how could Mother be so unhappy?"

"You're right. Last night, your father discussed something with me. He said that your sister Yanran was afraid that she would be bullied in Prince Kang's mansion because of her status as a concubine's daughter, so he discussed with me about making her a legitimate daughter..."

"How does mother think she should become a legitimate daughter?" An Qingran hugged Mingchen and sat down, but Mingchen obviously preferred her to walk around with him in her arms. He waved his little hands in dissatisfaction and pulled An Qingran's hair. An Qingran giggled: "Mother, come and save me, my brother attacked me..."

Lian Jinyu's originally depressed mood was forgotten by her. She stepped forward and gently pulled Mingchen's little hand away, then smiled: "Mingchen can crawl now, put him down and let him play by himself for a while, and let's talk for a while."

An Qingran put Mingchen on the carpet. He was so happy that even though he was clumsy, he still tried very hard to crawl forward.

An Qingran said, "Mother hasn't answered me yet. Could it be that you want to make Auntie a co-wife? Is that what Father wants too?"

"Your father didn't say it directly, so I can't tell if this is what he meant..."

"Yesterday, Dad restored Auntie's status from a lowly concubine to her original status as a maid. Does he really want to promote her again and again and make her a co-wife?"

Lian Jinyu didn't say anything.

She really didn't understand what the general meant, but she felt very uncomfortable.

"Mom, maybe daddy doesn't mean that. It's better for you to ask clearly, so as not to think too much here..." An Qingran was not worried about this. She felt that her father should not be so confused. Even with what Jinrong had done before, he couldn't be completely on guard, right?

Sure enough, in the evening, the general came to the East Warm Pavilion again. Lian Jinyu was coaxing Mingchen. He was sleepy, but just didn't want to sleep. An Qingran had played with him for a long time just now, but he didn't seem to have had enough. After An Qingran left, he shouted at her back for a long time, and no one knew what he was saying.

"Jinyu, what have you thought about what I told you yesterday?"

Lian Jinyu hugged An Mingchen and turned around: "General, what are you talking about?"

"It's about Yanran..." An Zhongtao sighed and wanted to hug Mingchen, but Mingchen cried even louder when he saw An Zhongtao. An Zhongtao frowned.

"I'm your father. Are you afraid of me or do you hate me?" He looked at Xiao Mingchen with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

When this little guy was just born, he was full of joy, but he didn't expect that when he grew up, he didn't like himself.

"Maybe the general comes seldom and he is shy." Lian Jinyu explained embarrassedly.

She doesn't want her child to be like this.

Besides, such a young child doesn’t understand anything. What can we do?

An Zhongtao pulled the corner of his mouth, stopped forcing him to hug, and took a step aside: "If it were me, I would transfer An Yanran to your name and give her the title of legitimate daughter. This way, she won't be outdone by others. How do you think?"

Lian Jinyu was stunned for a moment: "Originally, she was also my daughter..."

"When the time comes, we'll hold a ceremony to completely sever the relationship with her mother..."

Lian Jinyu was secretly delighted when she heard this. She didn't expect the general to mean this. If so, what else could she say? She smiled and said, "I have no objection."
