She gritted her teeth and whispered to Huaiyu:

"Huaiyu, don't listen to what others say about you. Just be yourself. No matter if you were born by your mother or not, you are her child. Your father has never looked at you differently. You belong to Prince Yu's mansion. You were, you are, and you will always be. If you always care about what others think of you, you will definitely be unhappy."

Lele also stared with wide eyes and said:

"Yes, Sister An An and I just told him the same thing, but he's still unhappy. He wants to know about his parents. Mom, can you tell him? What kind of people are his parents?"

This question made Luo Lan at a loss as to what to do. She had no way of telling Huaiyu about Leng Yun and his mother.

But if you don't tell him something about his parents, he will always be thinking about it in his heart. Once a person is thinking about something in his heart, he will always be unhappy.

Thinking of this, she said to the three children with a serious expression:

"Okay, I can tell you about Guan Yu's parents, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else. Can you do that?"

Seeing Luo Lan's mysterious expression, An An and Le Le's curiosity was instantly aroused, and Huai Yu also nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, Mom. I promise I won't tell anyone. I just want to know what kind of people my father and mother are."

Thinking of Xiaoyu, Luo Lan sighed inwardly. She was a poor woman and this was an extremely tragic story.

If Huaiyu knew that his father was the biggest evil man in the world, that he was the one who hurt Leng Yu, that his mother was abducted by his father, that his father forced his mother to give birth to him, and that his father was killed by his own mother, these unbearable truths would devastate his young heart and make him even more sad.

So, she had to make up a beautiful lie. Maybe when he grew up, he would know the truth, but definitely not now.

Thinking of this, she looked at the three children, thought for a moment, and slowly said:

"Actually, Huaiyu's father was the previous crown prince. If he hadn't had an accident, perhaps he would have become the future emperor."

An An, who was quick-talking, seemed to be a little impatient. As soon as Luo Lan finished speaking, she couldn't wait to ask,

"So what happened to his father?"

Luo Lan glanced at her, sighed, and continued:

"Because there was a villain who wanted to harm Huaiyu's mother. To protect her, Huaiyu's father blocked the sword for her. Huaiyu's mother was furious and killed the villain with a knife. She entrusted Huaiyu to me and then accompanied Huaiyu's father to death. This is a tragic story, so your royal grandfather ordered that no one should mention this matter. In the future, you should not try to find out about this matter. Just keep it to yourself."

This was the only story she could think of to explain why Leng Yun and Xiaoyu died together.

The story she made up made Huaiyu's eyes start to turn red.

He clenched his small fists tightly in his sleeves and kept silent.

Luo Lan patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"Huaiyu, when your father and mother passed away, you were only a few days old. You can miss them occasionally, but don't always keep it in your heart. I still hope you can be happy, because I am in heaven and I also want to see you happy."

Huaiyu raised her tearful eyes and looked at her, biting her lip and whispering:

"They are in heaven, can they see me?"

"Of course."

Luo Lan tightened his lips and said gently,

"At night, do you see the sky full of stars? There is a brightest star among them that will wink at you. That star is your mother. She is watching you in the sky every day, so you must be happy every day, otherwise she will worry."

Huaiyu looked at Luo Lan, not quite understanding, "Mom, I really saw a star blinking at me. Was that really my mom?"

"Yes, your mother misses you very much and will come to see you secretly every night, so from now on, you have to be happy every day, okay?"

"Mom, I understand. Although I'm not your and Dad's biological child, you and Dad treat me as your own. I now know everything about my Dad and Mom. Don't worry, Mom. I won't ask again. I promise to be an obedient and sensible child."

Looking at Huaiyu's tenacious look, Luo Lan felt distressed, but she was powerless to change anything.

She smiled softly at Huaiyu, then turned to look at Anan and Lele.

"Remember, Brother Huaiyu is your biological brother. I hope you can love each other. No matter now or in the future, I will not allow any rifts to arise between you. Even if you disagree on something in the future, you must sit down and talk it out. You must speak openly and don't stab me in the back. Do you understand?"

Although the three children were somewhat confused by her words, Lele was the first to nod and said righteously:

"Don't worry, Mom. We promise to love each other. Even when we grow up one day, we will help each other. We will never fall apart."

An An also raised his little fist and said loudly and seriously:

"An An swears here that I will stay with my brother and my younger brother for the rest of my life and we will never be separated."

Her words made Lele cover her mouth and laugh, "How can we stay together forever? You're going to get married in the future, and my brother and I are going to get married too. We don't want to be with you forever."

Lele's words made Luo Lan laugh uncontrollably, and Huaiyu also pursed her lips and said:

"Although we will get married in the future, our brotherly and sisterly love will never change, as long as you don't despise me."
