Upon hearing this, Chief Minister Duan scoffed.
"A biological daughter? Regent, are you dreaming?"
"What good fortune does Lin Wanwan have? What good fortune do you have?"
Being treated like half a daughter is already your greatest honor. Do you still want to acknowledge your biological daughter?
The regent glanced at him sideways.
The man with the scornful nose said, "What good fortune do I have? Kneel down!"
"You—" Duan, the chief minister, gritted his teeth in anger.
If you can't beat yourself, you'll only use your status to suppress yourself.
Isn't it just that they were born into a better family than I was?
What's with the arrogance?
He turned and left in anger, but unexpectedly ran into the Marquis of Zhenbei, who was crying bitterly on the ground. He accidentally stepped on him and almost tripped.
"Oh dear..." he exclaimed.
Seeing the Marquis of Zhenbei's expression, he was so angry that his face turned red. It was one thing for the Regent to bully him, but who did the Marquis of Zhenbei think he was? He then walked up to the Holy Emperor and the Retired Emperor, interrupting their eager expressions.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor Emeritus, I have a complaint to file. The Marquis of Zhenbei tripped me."
The Holy Emperor withdrew his gaze for a moment, said, "Throw him out," and then continued to squeeze into the crowd.
Knowing he was physically weak, the retired emperor then leaned on his cane and followed the empress dowager toward the main hall, saying as they walked, "The gods have descended today, which means our prayers have been effective; it's a good omen."
"It seems I no longer need to worry about the court."
The Empress Dowager nodded. "The Emperor Emeritus is right."
Lin Wanwan squeezed out of the crowd and saw the scene of Zhenbei Hou being dragged away.
When the Marquis of Zhenbei saw Lin Wanwan looking at him, he excitedly reached out and shouted at her:
"Wanwan, Wanwan, please help your father, okay?"
"I was there when you were born, so I'm practically your father."
"Your mother and I lived together for fifteen years, we were husband and wife, and now I'm like this..."
Ye Lanyin picked Lin Wanwan up from the ground, "Marquis of Zhenbei, are you even human?"
"Wanwan is so young, how could you corrupt her values?"
Marquis Zhenbei clung tightly to the stone pillar, unwilling to leave.
"Lanyin, how is this corrupting her values? I'm her father."
Lin Wanwan threw the beef stick in her hand directly at the Marquis of Zhenbei.
"You toad, you're not my father. I can recognize anyone else, but not you."
"Let's talk about Zou Wanqing, the one who finds mud and fertilizer!"
Lin Wanwan was fine until she brought it up, but the moment she did, the Marquis of Zhenbei wanted to cry.
I don't know what happened.
After waking up a few days ago, Zou Wanqing was completely different. Her eyes were lifeless and she was dazed. She didn't speak. Zou Shuang'er cried and begged him to call a doctor. He had no choice but to spend a lot of money to hire a doctor, but the doctor said that there was no hope.
Now that he has been dismissed from his post, he feels like dying.
It was all his fault. He mistook a fish eye for a pearl. Zou Wanqing did nothing to help him, but instead helped him a lot. He didn't get any benefit from her at all, and even lost money.
"Wanwan, please forgive your father this once? Father knows he was wrong."
Suddenly, a tall and imposing figure appeared before the Marquis of Zhenbei.
The Regent's gaze turned icy as he said, "Haven't you eaten? Throw him out!"
The eunuch was so frightened that his legs almost went weak. "Yes, Regent."
He then kicked the Marquis of Zhenbei in the buttocks and dragged him out of the palace gate.
Ye Lanyin glanced gratefully at the Regent.
She had been planning for a long time to remove the children's names from the family genealogy because she was afraid that the Marquis of Zhenbei would use his status as an elder to blackmail the children.
In the end, it was discovered that the children were not even listed in the family genealogy.
She also saved herself a lot of trouble.
I never expected him to be so shameless, daring to morally blackmail a child.
"Lanyin, they say that even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. No matter who you marry, they will never be as good as your first husband..."
Hearing the Marquis of Zhenbei's roaring words, a murderous glint flashed in the Regent's eyes, which Ye Lanyin happened to see.
"Your Majesty, don't dirty your hands for people who aren't worth it."
The Regent's expression softened considerably after hearing Ye Lanyin's words.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Back in the main hall, the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager were overjoyed by the divine descent, and the officials below drank without stopping, completely unaffected by the dismissal of the Marquis of Zhenbei. They were all blushing with happiness.
The Holy Emperor cursed the Marquis of Zhenbei a thousand times in his heart.
I've wanted to dismiss him for a long time, and now, thanks to the gods, I've finally gotten rid of him.
Thank God.
Thank you, ancestors!
Several princesses and princes surrounded Lin Wanwan, asking her how she had just summoned the gods down.
Lin Wanwan then pulled a beef jerky from her pocket, eating it as she said, "I'm just talking nonsense, I'll get angry if I don't finish my sentence..."
The children: ...Are you kidding me?
Only Yao Qianshu believed her, and holding Lin Wanwan's hand, he said, "Sister, so they came down?"
"Yeah, I'm awesome, aren't I?"
Yao Qianshu nodded excitedly, "Amazing, amazing! Little sister, I'll follow you wherever you go from now on, okay?"
"How about I just stay at your Ping'an Prefecture?"
"I'm not marrying her. This wife is just for paying for her food and lodging!!"
The nine-year-old seventh prince pulled Yao Qianshu aside and stood in front of Lin Wanwan. "Sister, let me stay at your residence. I have more money than him and I'm tougher. If your scumbag father comes again, I'll use my status as a prince to suppress him, and he'll definitely kowtow to you obediently."
Upon hearing this, Yao Qianshu said disdainfully, "You? You're as weak as a chicken and yet you think you're tough?"
"I'm tough. My dad beat me so many times, but I never died once. None of you can compare to me..."
Lin Wanwan was speechless.
If you die, you'll be in hell, not here?
"Then...why don't you try dying once and see?"
Yao Qianshu: "No, I want to make a lot of money in the future. It would be such a waste to die." I'm afraid of death, so I dare not say this.
The group was still savoring the images of the gods they had just encountered, and now they were even starting to regret their actions.
I regret not saying a few words; perhaps the gods would have responded. What an honor that would have been!
Unfortunately, that scoundrel, Marquis Zhenbei, got the chance to communicate with the gods.
They secretly harbored a deep grudge against the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Just then, the Ancestral Hall, which had been channeled into green light by the Azure Star God, suddenly emitted a flashing golden light.
The group, who were enjoying their drinks, rushed to the door after noticing the unusual activity and looked again at the distance.
Yao Qianshu exclaimed in surprise as he held Lin Wanwan in his arms.
"Could it be a monster?"
The Seventh Prince shook his head. "That's the Ancestral Hall, a shrine. How could there be monsters there?!"
The Eighth Princess chimed in, "Yes, could something terrible have happened at the Ancestral Spirit Hall?"
"Let's go take a look." The Seventh Prince couldn't wait a moment longer and pulled the Eighth Princess directly toward the Ancestral Hall.
