"You unfilial son!"
Lin Shixuan flicked his sleeve and left without looking back.
The Marquis of Zhenbei collapsed to the ground in anger, looking at his beloved son, whom he had cherished for over ten years, with a heart full of grief.
Seventeen years of loving care.
Back then, when Rui'an begged him to carry him, he didn't even glance at him and simply picked up Shixuan and left.
Whenever I was hurt or in pain, Rui'an would come to care for me, but he never asked me anything about it.
Now they're even attacking themselves?
What a misfortune for our family!
As if remembering something, he staggered to his feet and headed towards the Begonia Courtyard.
Zou Wanqing was eating snacks in the yard, happily reading a storybook.
When she saw the Marquis of Zhenbei rushing in, she was so frightened that she immediately stuffed the storybook into her pocket.
"Father, what brings you here?"
"Where is your mother?" Marquis Zhenbei looked around.
Zou Wanqing said guiltily, "Mother, Mother is still sleeping in the room."
The Marquis of Zhenbei raised his head, looked at the high-hanging sunlight, and his eyes flickered. "Why aren't you up in the middle of the day? Don't you need to work in the fields?"
"Quick, go wake her up, I need to talk to her!"
Zou Wanqing's heart skipped a beat.
Why did this scumbag have to come at this time of year?
Zou Wanqing pretended to go inside and lingered there for a long time before stuffing old clothes into the bedding, pretending to be Zou Shuang'er sleeping.
Then he came out again.
"Father, Mother says she's not feeling well, she'll get up later."
"Are you feeling unwell?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei touched his back, which was bleeding from his son's beating, and felt that his molars were almost worn down.
"I was beaten to the point of bleeding by your elder brother, yet I still had to keep working. How could she, a mere woman, possibly be unwell?"
"Make her get up!" Marquis Zhenbei pointed into the room.
It's all because of that bitch. If she hadn't gone to Yingchun Tower to arrest people, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
I thought of Ye Lanyin...
He rushed in suddenly, catching Zou Wanqing completely off guard.
"Father, Father..."
The Marquis of Zhenbei stared blankly at the disheveled clothes in his hands, his eyes wide as he looked at Zou Wanqing.
Where is your mother?
"Your Majesty~" Zou Wanqing's tone was hesitant, her voice betraying her guilt, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here~"
"Where?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei angrily squatted down and grabbed Zou Wanqing's shoulders tightly. "Speak!"
"Mother has gone out, but she'll be back soon."
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked around the room, then fixed his gaze on Zou Wanqing's face again. He used both hands to push her away forcefully.
"Ahhh..."
"You damned slut, now that the Marquis's mansion is in ruins, you've gone out to steal someone else, haven't you? Huh!"
Zou Wanqing touched her bleeding forehead, clenched her fists tightly, and glared at the Marquis of Zhenbei with resentment.
"Dad, Mom says she's a little hungry and is going out to find something to eat."
"Great, now she even has silver? Tell me, how many times has she stolen from people?"
Zou Wanqing trembled with fright and said, shaking her lips, "Father, you've misunderstood. No, Mother didn't cheat on me."
"No? That's exactly how I got together with your mother back then. You think you can lie to me?"
"Father, Mother really didn't cheat on me. She said she was just going out for a little while and would be back soon. Why don't you wait until she comes back before asking her?"
Zou Wanqing cried and begged that her mother's secret must not be discovered, otherwise her father would definitely kick them out.
Right now, they still need the Marquis's residence to provide cover.
Only when their eldest brother goes on his scientific expedition will they have a chance to turn the tide.
"You worthless wretch!"
The Marquis of Zhenbei raised his large hand and slapped Zou Wanqing hard across the face, sending her flying.
"Will you tell me or not?"
"Mother really didn't..." The intense pain made Zou Wanqing groan involuntarily.
Lin Wanwan followed Lin Rui'an and the others to the teahouse to listen to storytelling. The group chose the front row and listened with great interest.
The storyteller was shaking his head, telling his story with great enthusiasm.
"This official, ever since he divorced his wife, has been living a chaotic life with his mistress's children."
"No, it's a divorce."
Upon hearing this, the storyteller glanced at Lin Wanwan and asked, "Oh? How did the little one know?"
"Hehe." Lin Wanwan chuckled, wiggled her bottom, and pulled Yao Qianshu onto the stage. "I...I'm his...he...he..."
Lin Wanwan glanced at Yao Qianshu, "What's the system?"
Yao Qianshu chuckled, "It's his bastard daughter!!"
Lin Wanwan immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, yes..."
Everyone was taken aback.
A bastard daughter?
"Oh my, I recognize her! She's Lin Wanwan, the youngest person with spiritual roots in our Holy Kingdom and the former daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei!" A sharp-eyed commoner sitting in the back row recognized her at a glance.
Everyone had heard of the Marquis of Zhenbei before, but for the children, although they had long admired his name, many of them had never met him.
Upon learning that the little girl in front of them was Lin Wanwan, everyone was extremely excited.
"Kid, are you the one with the little spiritual root who defeated the Xuan Yue Kingdom?"
“Yes, sir.” The little guy put his hands on his hips and said proudly.
"That's great, kid. What did you just say? Didn't the Marquis of Zhenbei agree to a divorce?"
Yao Qianshu held up his thumb and touched his nose. "That's definitely not it."
"Uncle, how about we split the storytelling fee in half? I'll tell the story for you, okay?"
Rumors stop with the wise?
No, no, no.
Become a wise person.
Beyond the wise.
Then replace the wise man!
The storyteller was worried that someone would take his job, but he never expected that this clever and mischievous child would be so lovable.
