“You are the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and you represent the face of the entire Marquis’s mansion.”
"If that's the case, then we might as well lose face. The Marquis can't even protect his own daughter."
He's not my father, he's a bad person.
My dad is...
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Ye Lanyin was terrified.
What?
Is Wanwan not Lin Dehong's child?
How could this be? Could it be that the person she shared a room with wasn't Lin Dehong?
She tried to continue listening, but the child in her arms had already fallen asleep.
Ye Lanyin's heart was pounding, but she forced herself to suppress it.
"My lord, since that's the case, then let my elder brother make the decision!"
"Lan Yin, do you dare?"
"Your Excellency, let's see if I dare!"
Seeing this, Zou Shuang'er smiled, and seeing that it was almost time, she sadly squatted down and said to Zou Wanqing:
"Wanqing, go apologize to your sister."
"I won't go! I don't want to. She was just born. Why should I apologize to a child?" Zou Wanqing threw a tantrum.
Zou Shuang'er held her in her arms. "Wanqing, the Marquis is very troubled right now. If you go and apologize, it will solve the Marquis's urgent problem. Are you willing?"
Zou Wanqing blinked and saw Zou Shuang'er nod slightly.
“Alright, as long as it doesn’t bother you, Lord Marquis, Wanqing is willing.”
Then, she walked up to Ms. Zou and said, "I'm sorry."
Zou Wanqing was filled with resentment at this moment. She was determined to avenge the humiliation she had suffered today!
The group left in anger, and Ye Lanyin lost all interest in the matter.
She asked Hua Mei to take the child away.
His body, which had been holding on, finally collapsed to the ground.
At that moment, her hands and feet were ice cold, and she was trembling from head to toe.
Wanwan said she wasn't the Marquis's child, so whose child was Wanwan?
And Lin Shiming, what exactly happened back then!
A year ago, the Marquis had a heart-to-heart talk with her, and the two drank some wine. After that, she had a child.
It's ridiculous. He thought he had outmaneuvered him, at least the child was his.
Unexpectedly, Wanwan was not his child.
Oh.
She hates it.
She closed her eyes, her mind filled with lingering memories from the past.
That encounter at the poetry gathering, a smile exchanged as we looked back.
They enjoyed discussing the poems together.
That is the future and hope she longs for.
It was all fake.
What exactly is real?
Oh, now, the scheming is real!
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Madam, Madam..."
Hua Xin rushed in from the doorway and saw Ye Lanyin lying on the ground with tears streaming down her face. She hurriedly ran over and helped her up.
"Madam, what's wrong? You're in your postpartum period. If there's anything you need, please tell me. You can't take such a bad time for yourself."
Hua Xin took out a handkerchief and wiped away Ye Lanyin's tears.
Ye Lanyin threw herself into Hua Xin's arms and wept bitterly.
In the back room, Hua Mei held her child, her heart aching with pain.
A tear rolled down her cheek and onto Lin Wanwan's bedding.
Lin Wanwan shifted her position and then turned over.
"Hua Xin, how is it?" Ye Lanyin left Hua Xin's embrace, took the handkerchief and wiped her eyes, her voice hoarse.
“Madam, I just went with them. Young Master Biao and his group first went to a roadside stall for tea and snacks, then browsed a bookstore, walked around the street a few times, and then went to listen to a storyteller.”
"After listening to your teachings yesterday, the young master delivered a long lecture at the storytelling venue today, which even impressed the storyteller."
"Afterwards, the second young master discussed the distinction between ruler and subject, which drew praise from many officials present!"
Hua Xin recalled that scene and was truly happy.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin's brow relaxed slightly.
Well, Yuqi has escaped a disaster.
Although she escaped, the villains were still around, and she couldn't let her guard down.
A month from now, there will be some ill-intentioned people on the border, and she wants to warn her brother to be careful.
"Mother, Mother, your son is back."
"Auntie, I'm back."
Several children ran in excitedly from outside, all of them beaming with joy, clearly indicating that something good had happened.
Lin Rui'an followed behind his younger brothers, looking helpless.
"Mother, did your son disturb you?"
Ye Lanyin shook her head: "No, why are you so happy today?"
“Mother, you don’t know how amazing my cousin Yuqi and my elder brother are. Just now at the storytelling hall, they spoke so well about the relationship between ruler and subject that even the storyteller himself was impressed.”
“Mother, thanks to what you told us last night, your sons have benefited greatly.”
Lin Chang'an spoke fluently, his eyes filled with excitement.
Today, he went along to supervise because he was afraid that his cousin Yuqi would be harmed. If his older brother was deliberately leading the way, he would definitely stop him in advance.
Ye Yuqi still can't believe that he could be so capable.
Does that mean he escaped a disaster?
Fortunately, he had memorized what his aunt had taught him last night, so he was able to answer fluently today.
Lin Shixuan is truly no good person; he actually made him say that the emperor is infatuated and incompetent, and unworthy to be a ruler!
Waaaaah, my cousin Wanwan, thank you so much!
Waaah, I'll have to take good care of my parents from now on. I've been such a jerk!
...
The Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Study.
Laughter rang out from inside the Imperial Study, and even the eunuchs at the door couldn't help but be infected by it.
"Was it really said by General Ye's grandson?"
"Indeed, Your Majesty. Your humble servant was present at the time. Lin Rui'an, the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, said, 'A powerful minister follows the middle way, and submission to the ruler is the harmony of heaven and earth. A wise ruler should be supported by his ministers. The current emperor is capable and resourceful. The country's security is inviolable. The emperor should be a wise ruler for all ages!'"
