Chapter 5 Treating everyone equally is the key



He said he naturally had it on him.

She hadn't thought much about it before.

Looking at the bag of clothes, Ye could see that the fabric was of excellent quality.

She bit her lip and looked up: "You are too kind, Lord Marquis."

"I'm glad you like it." Lin Dehong smiled contentedly.

“However,” Madam Ye paused, “my daughter has enough clothes already, so I’ll put these clothes away for now.”

"well."

"Why did you bring Xuan-ge'er and Ming-ge'er out with you, Lord Marquis?"

“Xuan-ge’er is fourteen years old now. He passed the imperial examination on his second attempt and became a Xiucai. I was thinking of taking him to learn more from his colleagues, but he insisted on going out tomorrow, so I took him along.”

“Yan’an is in poor health, and Chang’an is cynical and irresponsible. We can only try to nurture Shixuan and Shiming.” Lin Dehong sighed, looking helpless.

"As you know, Xuan-ge'er is the hope of our family. If he can pass the imperial examination next autumn, it will be a blessing for both of us."

The Marquis of Zhenbei paused, then looked at Madam Ye:

"Madam, I thought you gave birth today. If I had known you gave birth yesterday, I certainly wouldn't have gone out."

Looking at his affectionate face, she felt like vomiting.

But considering his two children, Shixuan and Shiming, at least he still has a conscience.

"Mommy, he's a big liar! He's lying to you!"

Lin Shixuan is not an orphan; he is the biological son of his scumbag father.

Lin Shih-ming is not your biological son either; he is the child of your father and his mistress.

[It was his child with his mistress!!!]

That was his child with his mistress...

That was his child with his mistress...

These words echoed in Ye's ears for a long time, and she felt a tightness in her chest.

Ye's body trembled, her face filled with shock.

Yesterday was that vixen's birthday; he took his adopted son to celebrate his illegitimate daughter's first birthday.

Feeling utterly shocked, Ye shook her head repeatedly.

[If Lin Shixuan gives your elder brother a slow-acting poison, you can then legitimately groom him.]

[Mother, the book says that you raised ungrateful wretches; they're the ones who killed your maternal grandfather's entire clan.]

"Snap!"

Ye dropped the cloth bag she was holding heavily to the ground.

Where did her son go?

A sweet, metallic taste rose in her throat, and she gripped her hand tightly.

"Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

The Marquis of Zhenbei reached out and touched Lady Ye's forehead.

Ye never imagined that the person who loved her so much would one day betray her.

No, it was a scheme from the very beginning.

But why not even spare the children?

Was our encounter back then also a lie?

But those beautiful moments felt so real; I had only decided to attend the poetry gathering on a whim.

Later, despite her family's objections, she insisted on marrying him.

Whenever her family asked her how she was doing, she would praise him as a good man.

Over time, his family members also gradually developed a good impression of him.

Thinking of this, she was filled with hatred.

She suppressed the raging anger roaring within her.

“Honglang, you have four sons in your household. Although Yan’an is in poor health, he is the legitimate eldest son of the Marquis’s family. Chang’an and Shiming are twins. Why do you have to humiliate your own sons?”

The Marquis of Zhenbei was slightly taken aback, looking at her guiltily.

"My lord, the child doesn't have a name yet. Please give him one," said Madam Ye, her eyes bloodshot.

Ignoring the dissatisfaction in her eyes, the Marquis of Zhenbei quickly resumed his affectionate demeanor.

"Let's call her Wanwan. She's the youngest, and we don't expect her to be rich and powerful."

[Mother, this is the name.]

【I used to be called Wanwan, but they all called me Fairy Wanwan~】Lin Wanwan smiled.

Ye pursed her lips and said, "Okay."

Then, the Marquis of Zhenbei glanced at Lin Wanwan and, seeing her exquisitely beautiful appearance, felt a pang in his heart.

This child is so cute and chubby-cheeked, really...beautiful.

However, Wanqing could speak right after she was born.

Ultimately, Lin Wanwan is destined to be a mediocre person! She must be a mediocre person!

"My lord, please hold the child."

Ye's face was as pale as paper, and she bit her lower lip tightly.

No, I don't want to! He's not my father, he's a bad guy!

Seeing Lin Wanwan's reluctant expression, the Marquis of Zhenbei finally picked her up.

Lin Wanwan clenched her chubby little fist and punched the Marquis of Zhenbei. The Marquis of Zhenbei frowned, looking somewhat disgusted.

Then, Lin Wanwan used all her strength and struggled for a long time, spitting saliva all over herself. Ye Shi had no choice but to take her back.

The Marquis of Zhenbei's eyes were filled with disgust.

Ye didn't know how Lin Dehong left; her whole body felt as cold as ice.

But the thought that her adopted son, whom she had carefully raised for more than ten years, was actually the child of a mistress, made her furious.

"Wanwan, what should your mother do?" Ye asked, as if she were asking herself, or perhaps asking Wanwan.

Where did her child go?

Lin Wanwan grinned at her, making little "sizzling" sounds; her chubby face was incredibly innocent.

"Mother, that talisman was drawn by that adopted son's sister. Please return it to them; you can't keep it."

Ye clenched her fists.

“Hua Xin, take that peace charm to Xuan Ge’er. Xuan Ge’er will be taking the imperial examination in a few days. Tell him that this is a charm that I specially got for him to study.”

Hua Xin clenched her fist. How could the lady be so kind?

Given how the Marquis and the Old Madam treated her, why would she still want to adopt a son?

"Go quickly."

Hua Xin reluctantly curtsied and said, "Yes, Madam."

Wow, my mom is so smart!

Thinking of Lin Wanwan's words that the eldest son was eating poisoned food, Ye felt another wave of suffocation in her heart.
