Ye Lanyin returned to the Marquis's residence with a heavy heart.
She immediately went to the back room to check, and only after finding no trace of the Regent did she carry Lin Wanwan inside.
Lin Wanwan sniffed with her dog nose.
[Strange, why does it smell of blood? And also my father's scent?]
Could something have happened to Father?
Ye Lanyin hadn't expected Lin Wanwan to have such a keen sense of smell.
I sighed inwardly, perhaps this is what it means to be connected to one's father and daughter.
Lin Wanwan was taking a bath inside, while Ye Lanyin sat on a red pearwood chair outside.
The Zhu family?
Who is it?!
It seems she'll have to go back to her parents' home tomorrow to ask if they know anything about it.
The Regent's Palace.
After the regent returned to his residence, he immediately had the imperial physician bandage his wound.
Xiao Chengyun looked at the shocking wound and cried until his eyes were red.
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
"You were fine yesterday, how did you get injured?"
The Regent reached out his other hand and rubbed Xiao Chengyun's forehead. "This little injury is nothing for a man."
"If anyone asks whether I am at home, just say yes, understand?"
Xiao Chengyun wiped away his tears and nodded.
"Father, please don't go to war! You're my only family. What will I do if something happens to you?"
"Tomorrow I will go and talk to my uncle, the Emperor, and ask him to step down as regent."
The little child was only thinking about his father's safety.
In the imperial court, the situation was constantly changing, and the five kingdoms were secretly vying for power. He was a prince of the Holy Kingdom and a citizen of the Holy Kingdom. How could he be a deserter?
"Chengyun, don't be afraid, your father will... protect you."
"If all else fails, Father... how about finding you a concubine?"
For some reason, the image of Ye Lanyin from that morning inexplicably appeared in his mind.
The faint scent of lilies emanating from her, her warm, red lips—that instant of contact left his mind blank.
The entire house was decorated entirely with women's items; there wasn't a single thing belonging to a man.
Is it true, as the rumors say, that the Marquis of Zhenbei does not love Ye Lanyin?
Knock knock!
"Come in!"
Upon seeing Mo Feng enter, the Regent said to Xiao Chengyun, "Chengyun, go outside and play. Your father has important matters to discuss."
"Okay." Xiao Chengyun's eyes were red as he walked out the door.
The butler picked him up tenderly and took him to catch crickets.
After he left, Mo Feng closed the door.
Then he walked up to the Regent, knelt on one knee, and said, "Your Majesty."
"How about it?"
“Master, the Marquis of Zhenbei does indeed keep a mistress outside.”
The Regent sneered. The whole of Bianjing already knew about it, and this is the first time he's received the news?
"Do you even need to tell me?"
Mo Feng curled his lip. "Master, that concubine's child is the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei."
The regent was somewhat shocked.
Wasn't there a rumor yesterday that the mistress's child was her ex-husband's?
“I made a special trip to where she lived and discovered a shocking secret.”
"What secret?"
"That woman also had two sons."
The regent suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He looked intently at him and asked, "How old are you?"
"I heard the oldest is already fifteen years old, and the youngest is ten."
"Where are those two sons now?"
"I investigated secretly and found that these two people entered someone else's mansion and became someone else's sons. I heard that the owner of this mansion had no sons, so they were adopted."
If he remembered correctly, Ye Lanyin had been married to the Marquis of Zhenbei for exactly fourteen years, and with her pregnancy, it was only fifteen years in total.
In other words, the Marquis of Zhenbei was having an affair with his mistress before or shortly after marrying Ye Lanyin.
Seeing the Regent's anger, Mo Feng quickly stopped him from having any further thoughts.
"Master, the Grand Secretary's eldest daughter, Miss Ye, just turned 18 this year, and I think she's quite good-looking..."
My lord, please stop thinking about that man's wife. At the very least, she's the wife of a marquis!
The whole family is urging you to punish the mistress; you can't be so foolish.
He's been tactful enough.
I recited Amitabha Buddha's name ten thousand times in my heart.
“The Mansha region is currently in need of a trainer, so why don’t you go there for a month?”
"Master, didn't I just send someone there yesterday?"
"Two months."
Upon hearing this, Mo Feng was stunned. His lips trembled as he tried to speak again.
"Three months."
Mo Feng vanished in a flash.
Feeling a gust of wind rush past him, Xiao Chengyun shivered.
"Uncle Butler, why do I feel like it's Uncle Mofeng?"
Butler Wang shuddered. "Young Master, you've misjudged. Uncle Mo Feng wouldn't be in such a hurry."
"Yes, Uncle Butler, I want to go visit Chang'an."
He caught several crickets a few days ago, intending to give them to his little sister, Wanwan.
Last time she called him "Father King," so it seems she likes him quite a bit.
He then promised her that he would let her call him "Daddy".
He had also heard yesterday that Chang'an's father had kept a mistress.
They are so pitiful; their father isn't their own, and they also have a mistress.
Although he had no mother, his father was his biological father, and he never kept a mistress.
"Young Master, it's late now. How about we ask the Prince tomorrow? If he agrees, then we'll let you go?"
"good."
Seeing how well-behaved he was, the butler was relieved.
The willful young prince of the past is really slowly changing for the better.
Early the next morning.
Ye Lanyin took Lin Wanwan back to the Ye family. Because it concerned the matter of the disgraced official, Ye Lanyin did not want the old lady to know.
She left Lin Wanwan and Huaxin in the front hall to play with the old lady, and then went to the old general's study.
My eldest brother went to the border last night, and my second brother, knowing she was back, rushed back from outside.
The father and his two daughters talked in the study for a long time.
Even after learning that the Zhu family had been completely eradicated from Bianjing, Ye Lanyin was still uneasy.
Seeing through her thoughts, the two teachers exchanged a glance, and finally Ye Wennan spoke:
"Little sister, your second brother will investigate this matter for you. With my connections now, it won't be difficult for me to find out."
When Ye Wennan heard that someone in the Zhu family was planning to harm the children, he naturally wanted to investigate further.
The old general instructed, "Wen Nan, you must be very careful about this matter. You can't let any clue slip by. Your sister has had a tough journey and is still in the Marquis's mansion. We can't afford to be careless in the slightest."
"Don't worry, Father, I understand."
Because of the affair of the Marquis of Zhenbei keeping a mistress, General Ye and his wife were so angry that they couldn't sleep all night. The next morning, they sent their two sons to bring their daughter and grandchildren back.
Who knew they would say their daughter wouldn't divorce?
After hearing the whole story, he felt a little more at ease.
After they finished talking, they walked out of the study with smiles on their faces.
Ever since the old general heard from Lin Wanwan's heartfelt words that the General's Mansion had been implicated in treason by the Lin family's adopted son...
Nowadays, the Ye family study is secretly staffed with many people inside and out.
