Two days later.
That day, Ye Lanyin was playing with Lin Wanwan in the yard.
Hua Xin walked in from outside the door. "Madam, Zou Shuang'er's daughter has been watching us from under the shade of the tree outside."
"Let her look. Even if she looks again, her position is still illegitimate."
Ye Lanyin watched the little bell dangling in front of Lin Wanwan, who grabbed it with her chubby little hand and chuckled happily.
"This servant will go and drive her away right away!" With that, Huaxin stood up abruptly.
"return."
"lady?"
"Why chase her away? Isn't this perfect?" Ye Lanyin smiled and looked at her. "Go and call the Marquis here."
Hua Xin asked, puzzled, "Why did you call him here?"
The Marquis is just a decrepit old man now, how could he be worthy of the lady?
Hua Mei stood to the side, reached out and tapped her on the head. Of course, it was revenge!
"Come on, come on, hurry up." Hua Mei grabbed her hand and pushed her towards the front door.
Watching them happily from afar, Zou Wanqing felt a surge of anger as she thought of her mother, who was still kneeling in her elder brother's courtyard.
She clenched her fists tightly.
All of this originally belonged to her.
The largest and best courtyard in the Marquis's mansion—it all belonged to her.
Watching the Marquis of Zhenbei hurrying towards Furong Courtyard not far away, Zou Wanqing longed to call him "Father."
"Madam, what's wrong?"
Marquis Zhenbei is on leave today, so he has been in his study.
Upon hearing Ye Lanyin call his name, he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over.
He still had a smile on his face.
Seeing him arrive, Ye Lanyin suppressed her nausea and smiled, saying:
"Does Your Excellency still remember what day it is today?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei was taken aback, scratched his head, and asked, "What day is it?"
In the past, Ye Lanyin might have burst into tears, but now that the warrior of pure love has awakened, she feels nothing at all.
"Fourteen years ago today, under the witness of heaven and earth, we became husband and wife. Don't you remember, Lord Marquis?"
Marquis Zhenbei only realized later that today was the eighth day of the seventh month.
"Madam, I apologize. It was my oversight; I forgot the date."
"It's alright. It's only right that you're busy with your affairs, Lord Marquis. Please give Wanwan a hug."
After hearing Ye Lanyin's words, the Marquis of Zhenbei glanced at Lin Wanwan, who was rolling on the ground, and then squatted down to look at her.
"Wanwan, can Daddy give you a hug?"
Lin Wanwan shook her head so hard it almost broke.
Oh no, my scumbag dad doesn't deserve to hug me.
Marquis Zhenbei squatted there awkwardly, unsure whether to stand or speak.
Ye Lanyin smiled and squatted down to hug Lin Wanwan, "Look at you, you haven't come to see her in so long, and now she doesn't want you anymore."
"My lord, I remember you held Shiming when I gave birth to Shiming and Chang'an, didn't you?"
Looking at his guilty face, Ye Lanyin really wanted to throw a piece of shit in his face.
"I don't remember what happened back then."
"My lord, is the midwife who delivered my baby still alive?"
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei had a bad feeling. He tentatively asked:
"Madam, I just picked the midwife randomly back then. It would be difficult to find her now; she might even be dead. What do you want to do with her?"
"It's such a pity. I met someone last time who said she delivered my baby back then."
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenbei asked in a panic, "Where did you see him? Did he say anything else?"
"I met him on the street, we didn't say much, we chatted for a bit and then he left."
"My lord, that man seemed quite nervous when he saw me."
The Marquis of Zhenbei's hand trembled involuntarily twice, and he immediately stood up.
"Madam, I still have some official documents to deal with in my study, so I'll be leaving now."
"Is Your Excellency in such a hurry? Won't you have lunch here?" Ye Lanyin's gaze was gentle, with a hint of expectation.
Such an expression, such a gaze, was something the Marquis of Zhenbei hadn't seen in a long time. He really wanted to stay, but then he remembered what Ye Lanyin had just said.
"No, you guys eat."
"good."
Ye Lanyin saw the Marquis of Zhenbei off at the gate of his residence. Just as he was about to leave, Ye Lanyin suddenly shouted, "Zou Wanqing, what are you doing here?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei paused in his step and turned to look back.
"Madam, you..."
"My lord, what is Zou Wanqing doing over there?" Ye Lanyin pointed to a tree not far away.
When Zou Wanqing noticed that they had noticed her, she wanted to run away, but when she remembered that she was the biological daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, she walked out instead.
"I...I miss my mother."
Zou Wanqing walked steadily from that direction, which seemed so strange to Ye Lanyin.
This little girl is truly extraordinary. If I hadn't heard what Wanwan said, I might have thought she was just as clever as any other person.
“Your mother has made a mistake and is being punished. Why aren’t you in your own courtyard? What are you doing in the main courtyard?”
She buried the cursed symbol she had drawn under the tree.
[I want my mother to get a serious illness and die!]
Lin Wanwan glared at Zou Wanqing with a fierce yet innocent look, as if to say, "Don't you dare hurt my mother."
Ye Lanyin frowned.
When Marquis Zhenbei heard Ye Lanyin's cold tone, he couldn't help but frown.
"Madam, she's just a child. Why are you so cold to her?"
"Shuang'er is now a concubine in the Marquis's mansion. According to the rules, she should also call you Mother."
It must be said that the Marquis of Zhenbei was utterly in love with the children of his mistress.
He couldn't stand Ye Lanyin's somewhat cold voice.
After saying that, the Marquis of Zhenbei reached out and beckoned to Zou Wanqing.
"Wanqing, come here, quickly call your mother."
