Lin Wanwan raised her head and glanced at the sky.
5-7 PM?
There's only half an hour left, isn't there?
"Brother, can I go take a look?"
Xiao Junli squatted down and reached out to rub Lin Wanwan's head. "Wanwan, you're still young. If people find out about your instincts, it will bring you unnecessary trouble."
"Canglan... her spiritual root hasn't emerged yet, so she can't protect you."
"Can we wait a little longer?"
Lin Wanwan blinked her big eyes and looked at Xiao Junli innocently.
She seemed quite different from the Canglan I remembered, only her divine nature was similar.
But he... really is Canglan!
So, what exactly is different?
Lin Wanwan nodded and pulled Xiao Junli back to the Imperial Study.
The Holy Emperor and Prime Minister Jiang have finished their talks.
As it was approaching dusk, the Holy Emperor sent someone to escort Lin Wanwan back to Ping'an Prefecture.
"Wanwan, once the Regent marries your mother, I will grant you an official position."
"Is it alright?"
"Okay." Lin Wanwan smiled innocently.
As long as I can outrank the Marquis of Zhenbei, I'll take any official position!
When they returned to Ping'an Prefecture, only the maids and servants were there.
The white deer took small, quick steps to the entrance of the track.
"Miss, Madam has gone out for a while and will be back soon."
"Where...is the gas?"
"The Marquis of Zhenbei just came to the manor and made a scene. The lady went to the government office, but don't worry, the Regent accompanied her and will be back soon."
"Miss, let me take you inside first."
After thanking Eunuch Wang, Bai Lu pulled Lin Wanwan and prepared to cross the doorway, but then she faintly heard the sound of a carriage stopping.
"Madam, please be careful."
With Hua Mei's help, Ye Lanyin stepped down from the carriage and nodded slightly to Eunuch Wang.
Lin Wanwan immediately broke free from Bai Lu's hand and rushed to the Regent standing behind Ye Lanyin.
"Daddy~"
The regent happily squatted down and picked up Lin Wanwan in his arms.
"Wanwan, did you have fun at the palace?"
"Yes, I'm happy." The little girl smiled innocently, her little tuft of hair bobbing up and down, looking incredibly cute.
Ye Lanyin patted the dust off her clothes and glanced at the father and daughter.
"Wanwan, you didn't cause any trouble, did you?"
The little girl shook her head. "No, Mother."
The cabinet was really fun; I'll definitely go again next time.
Ye Lanyin: "..." It seems something has happened.
Bai Lu asked, "Madam, did the Marquis of Zhenbei give you any trouble?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Upon hearing this, Hua Xin couldn't help but complain, "Madam, this Marquis of Zhenbei is really meddlesome. His two concubines died, and he still blames you."
"If it weren't for the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review's proper judgment and the Regent's testimony, you would have been implicated long ago."
Hua Mei was equally annoyed and said:
"That's right. If you ask me, the Marquis of Zhenbei should be imprisoned immediately. What's three days of confinement?"
Ye Lanyin patted the painted plum blossoms and the painted heart.
"Alright, other people's business is none of our concern. Anyway, it was their family that was killed. Zou Wanqing is so intelligent, how could she be harmed by two concubines?"
"Moreover, what a coincidence that the murderer ran away as soon as he saw Zou Shuang'er? Isn't that just revealing his identity?"
Ye Lanyin's words awakened Hua Xin and Hua Mei.
The two exchanged a glance.
Everyone looked on in shock.
Lin Wanwan didn't know what they were talking about, but she was happy to see that her mother was alright.
The Regent walked to Ye Lanyin's side, showing her tender concern.
"Lanyin, are you cold?"
"I have some newly purchased fabric at my residence, and I will send someone to deliver it to you in a little while."
"Go get a few outfits you like when the time comes, but don't get cold."
"I... I'm a grown man, I don't know what styles look good, I'm afraid you won't like them..." The Regent scratched his head with one hand, looking like a complete fool.
Ye Lanyin blushed slightly and shyly refused.
"No need, the Empress Dowager is about to return to the palace. The Regent should give it to Her Majesty."
Undeterred, the Regent continued, "Since Father Emperor is sending off Mother, I can't very well do Father Emperor's duties as well, can I?"
"Lanyin, if you don't want this material, I... I'll just throw it away."
Is that correct?
Oh dear, Father is such a fool. He should have just made a few sets of clothes and given them to Mother.
[Hehe, silly and sweet daddy.]
Regent: "..."
Ye Lanyin listened to Lin Wanwan's thoughts and knew that her daughter understood what he meant.
At this moment, neither rejection nor acceptance is an option.
She glanced at the Regent, then said to Huaxin:
"Hua Xin, take Wan Wan away. I have something to say to the Regent."
"Yes, madam."
"Mom, what are you saying? I want to hear it too."
[Mother, I want to hear it too...]
Lin Wanwan was carried away by Hua Xin, calling out, "Mother~" as they walked.
"I'm not leaving!"
Ye Lanyin was a little embarrassed and led the Regent to the front hall.
The Regent was overjoyed to have the opportunity to be alone with Ye Lanyin; his eyes were shining brightly.
“Your Majesty, I know that my father, brothers and sisters-in-law have all agreed to this marriage.”
"Last time on National Day, I said I was willing to marry you in a moment of panic because I was afraid something would happen to you."
"But as you can see, I have three children whose biological fathers are unknown, and they are even secretly called bastards."
"You are a member of the royal family, how could I tarnish your reputation?"
"You should..."
Upon hearing this, the Regent, fearing that Ye Lanyin might reject him, quickly interrupted.
“Lanyin, you have children, and so do I. Besides, my reputation is already bad, so I’m not afraid of adding another one.”
