Chapter 14 The Maid Enters the Trap



Finally, Lin Wanwan's one-month birthday has arrived.

After a month of care, Lin Wanwan has become even plumper and fairer than when she was born.

November 5th.

Early in the morning, Huaxin and Huamei brought Lin Wanwan a small red dress, no bigger than the palm of her hand, to wear.

The clothes were embroidered with adorable tiger heads, they were so cute.

Lin Wanwan's limbs flailing about, wrapped around her small body, made her look just like an adorable little bear.

Lin Wanwan let them do whatever they wanted to her while she ate her little fists.

"Today you're a grown-up girl." Huaxin carefully wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. "Oh dear, my girl, you can't take this punch today."

The painting is filled with doting affection.

[Hehe, sweetie...] Ignoring Hua Xin's attempts to wipe it away, Lin Wanwan shook her little head from side to side, making cooing noises, and then stuffed it into her little mouth again.

Everyone burst into laughter.

During this month, Ye Lanyin heard many things she had never known before. Although she was shocked, she was also relieved.

In this life, she cannot repeat the same mistakes.

The servants of the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion were all overwhelmed with work in the kitchen.

I originally thought there would only be one table of food, but it turned out there were actually ten tables.

At this moment, the Marquis of Zhenbei was unaware that he was chatting with Zou Shuang'er in the old lady's courtyard.

"Go back after you've had your meal today, and don't let Lan Yin see through Duan Mi."

"Yes, my lord."

The old lady stood to one side, glaring at her son.

"Shuang'er misses you terribly too, how can you rush her like this? Besides, she worked hard to give birth to your daughter and son, so you should treat her well."

Marquis Zhenbei bowed and said, "Yes, Mother."

Zou Shuang'er then smiled and said, "Mother, it's alright, Shuang'er understands. The Marquis is prioritizing the overall situation."

The more the old lady looked at Zou Shuang'er, the more she felt she owed her.

"My lord, many guests have arrived, and the lady is asking if you are coming." A servant approached from the doorway and bowed respectfully to the Marquis of Zhenbei.

"Understood, I will be there right away."

Since being promoted to the fourth rank, the Marquis of Zhenbei has become more arrogant than before.

If he hadn't married Ye Lanyin, how could the Marquis of Zhenbei have been promoted so smoothly and had the opportunity to meet those people?

Although many men in Bianjing lamented that Ye Lanyin had married down, everyone knew that the Zhenbei Marquis's family respected Ye Lanyin's reputation.

This also earned him a lot of good reputation.

Therefore, many people, in order to curry favor with the General's Mansion, usually took good care of the Marquis of Zhenbei in the court.

People gradually entered the Marquis's mansion. Ye Lanyin, holding her child, greeted her sisters.

The eldest princess strode over from afar:

"Oh my, this must be Wanwan. She's so cute."

The eldest princess glanced at Ye Lanyin, then reached out and gently stroked Lin Wanwan's cheek, as if afraid of hurting her.

"Xi'er, you've finally arrived." Ye Lanyin smiled softly.

"Lanyin, I've missed you terribly these past few days. Now that you've given birth to a daughter, my life is finally complete."

The eldest princess took Ye Lanyin's daughter in her arms, her face full of doting affection.

The eldest princess and Ye Lanyin were inseparable in their boudoir, and the two often played together.

After getting married, in order to save face for the Marquis of Zhenbei, Ye Lanyin declined many banquets, not wanting people to say that the Marquis of Zhenbei was a kept man.

[Xi'er? Is that Xiao Ruoxi, one of the Four Beauties of Bianjing?]

She's so beautiful.

Lin Wanwan stared intently at the Princess with her big, adorable eyes.

The princess's heart skipped a beat. What had she just heard?

The sound of a baby!

There's only one here, could it be...?

She lowered her head to look at that exquisitely beautiful face, and saw the child smiling at her.

The princess wanted to ask Ye Lanyin, but seeing so many people, she suppressed her shock and returned the child to Ye Lanyin.

When the Marquis of Zhenbei saw so many people standing not far away, he was stunned.

Didn't Ye Lanyin promise him that it would just be a meal with her family?

Looking at his parents-in-law, the princess, and others surrounding Ye Lanyin, he clenched his fists.

But with so many powerful and influential people around, he was tempted to make a move.

"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, you've arrived." The Marquis of Zhenbei changed his angry expression to a pleasing one.

Those present once again envied Ye Lanyin for finding her beloved!

Since that day when the Ye family listened to their son, they now harbor a slight dissatisfaction with the Marquis of Zhenbei.

I'm so angry at him for bringing an adopted son home out of nowhere, causing chaos in the house.

"Brother-in-law, congratulations." Ye Zhennan congratulated him calmly, then turned to look at his niece in his arms.

Marquis Zhenbei stiffened slightly. What did Ye Zhennan mean by being so cold to him?

Ye Lanyin remained silent upon seeing this.

He then led the guests to the front hall to pay their respects and offer congratulations to the old lady.

The old lady thought it would be a family meal, but she didn't expect so many people.

Although she was somewhat displeased that her daughter was hosting such a lavish banquet, she enjoyed being flattered. Now that these people had come in, she immediately ordered her servants to quickly prepare tea.

These were all ladies from noble families, including many members of the imperial family. Before Lin Dehong's marriage, she rarely saw such occasions.

In order to climb the social ladder by marrying these people, she put a lot of effort into learning etiquette after her son married Ye Lanyin.

"Madam, your daughter-in-law has brought Wanwan to pay her respects."

The old lady's eyes filled with resentment and indignation when she thought of how her in-laws and younger sister had been killed by Ye Lanyin.

But she also knew what day it was, so even if she was angry, she couldn't show it at all.

She endured it for the sake of her own grandchildren!

"Get up, the ground is cold. Wanwan is only a month old, you mustn't let her catch a cold."
