Eunuch Wang arrived at the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.
He turned his head with a grin, craning his neck to look behind the Marquis of Zhenbei.
"Marquis Zhenbei, you have done a great job raising your son."
Marquis Zhenbei couldn't stop smiling after being praised by Eunuch Wang, and pulled his eldest son, Lin Shixuan, behind him.
"Eunuch Wang, please come in."
When Eunuch Wang entered the front hall, he instructed the eunuch behind him to present the items.
"Lord Wang Zhenbei, this is a top-grade Longjing tea sent by the Northern Qi. His Majesty specially bestowed it upon my son to taste."
“Oh dear, Eunuch Wang, my son is foolish, but it is his good fortune to have caught the Emperor’s eye.” Marquis Zhenbei glanced at Lin Shixuan. “Shixuan, quickly take it.”
Lin Shixuan was overjoyed. He never expected that the poem he wrote while listening to the story would attract the emperor's attention.
Wang Gonggong frowned, but didn't think much of it, and then left Zhenbei Hou.
The old lady was overjoyed to learn that her grandson had won the emperor's favor.
Zou Shuang'er stood outside the door, weeping with joy.
Her son has finally made it!
Lin Wanwan fell asleep while nursing.
Her full moon celebration will be in three days.
Since Ye Lanyin made Zou Shuang'er apologize, the Marquis of Zhenbei has never visited Ye Lanyin in the main courtyard again.
Ye Lanyin was also happy to be at ease.
After she learned that the Marquis of Zhenbei had secretly switched her twin sons and that Lin Wanwan was not his biological daughter, she became much more decisive in her actions.
“Madam, the eldest son and the fourth son have been staying with the old lady these days.”
"Is there any unusual behavior?"
“Madam, the two of them haven’t cooked in the small kitchen for almost a month. They’ve been eating in the old lady’s courtyard. The Marquis returned to the manor an hour earlier than before, and he went straight to the old lady’s courtyard as soon as he got back.”
Hua Xin grew angrier the more she thought about it. Lin Shixuan was an adopted son, raised by his wife.
Lin Shiming is the wife's biological son, so how could he be considered unfilial?
Since I gave birth, it's only come once!
Nowadays, Lin Shixuan even takes his wife's biological son to dine with his mistress.
They completely disregarded her, their biological mother.
Ye Lanyin took a deep breath. Since that's the case, then...
"Wanwan's one-month celebration is in three days. Send the guest list to the Marquis and the Old Madam."
"Yes, madam."
Hua Xin took the list and personally carried it to the old man's courtyard.
Before long, the Marquis of Zhenbei, who had been away for almost a month, arrived.
"lady."
The Marquis of Zhenbei, somewhat drunk, walked up to Ye Lanyin.
Ye Lanyin frowned. "Has the Marquis been drinking?"
"I had a little bit. I was chatting with my mother and I had some happy things to drink."
"What brings you here, Lord Marquis?" She didn't think that Wanwan had pleased him.
"Lanyin, I know it's my fault. I didn't come to see you after you gave birth. I was just too busy."
"Don't blame me. Do you understand the traditional principle of men being responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs?"
Ye Lanyin frowned and nodded, "Yes, I understand."
The Marquis of Zhenbei was pleased to see her obedience.
He was overthinking it; he thought she had discovered something.
He then took out the list that Ye Lanyin had just given him.
"Lanyin, isn't it a bit inappropriate to invite all your family members on this list?"
"Even Chang'an and Shiming didn't hold such a grand ceremony back then. Aren't people goingssip about it?"
"You know that the Marquis's family has finally secured its position of nobility, and my career has just gotten on track. If the Emperor finds out that our Marquis's family is holding a lavish banquet, we will be impeached."
"Don't invite your family members, or any other close friends. Just invite some ordinary officials."
"Oh, by the way, my cousin happens to be here, so why don't we let her join us?"
Ye Lanyin looked at the endless chatter of the Marquis of Zhenbei as if someone had grabbed her by the throat.
She took a deep breath and put on a smile.
"You are right, my lord. We will obey your every command."
The Marquis of Zhenbei's eyes brightened slightly, now fully confident that Ye Lanyin would comply. He then glanced at the child in her arms.
"Come here, let Daddy give you a hug."
Ye Lanyin didn't want him to hug her, but since he was right under her nose, she let it go.
Lin Wanwan slowly woke up, looked at the scumbag's face magnified in front of her, and glared at him.
"Waaaaah, waaaaah."
[Waaaaah, I don't want to be hugged by my cheap, scumbag dad; he smells awful.]
The Marquis of Zhenbei held Lin Wanwan tightly as she twisted her body, and soon felt his hands become warm and wet.
Immediately afterwards, water dripped down his hand.
The Marquis of Zhenbei was so frightened that he let go of her hands. Ye Lanyin's heart tightened, and she snatched Lin Wanwan from his grasp.
The child almost fell.
A flash of hatred crossed her eyes, which then softened into a gentle expression.
The Marquis of Zhenbei's face stiffened, his eyebrows and eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth.
"The Marquis is a man, so I should carry the child myself. His clothes are wet, Huaxin, quickly bring out some of the Marquis's clothes and let him change!"
"No need." The Marquis of Zhenbei felt a lump in his throat. "I'll just go to my study to change my clothes."
"Then you should go quickly, my lord. It's getting cold, lest you catch a cold."
[The scumbag dad is furious, serves him right!]
[Who told you to hug me!]
After everyone left, Ye Lanyin asked Hua Mei to take the child to be cleaned, and her original smile turned cold.
"Paint the Heart, and send it to each prefecture according to this list, making sure no one is left out!"
"Yes, madam."
When Lin Shixuan was taken to the family home, he was added to the family genealogy and a grand banquet was held in his name as the biological son.
When Rui'an was born, the Marquis and the old lady tried their best to stop him, saying that he was premature and his health was not good, so it was not advisable to hold a ceremony.
