Marquis Zhenbei was immediately taken aback.
Was the Second Prince joking?
Indeed, how could a six-month-old baby have the good fortune to go to such a sacred place as the imperial mausoleum?
"Your Highness has misunderstood. This humble subject... this humble subject was just speaking offhand."
"Yes, just saying." Marquis Zhenbei coughed twice.
A short while later, he smiled and pulled Lin Shixuan over.
"If Your Highness has the opportunity, I would like my son to learn from you, would that be alright?"
Ye Lanyin felt extremely sarcastic towards the Marquis of Zhenbei.
If he were truly her own son, she would be more than happy to have him sleep on the bed of a powerful minister.
"No good." He didn't even lift his eyelids.
Lin Wanwan clapped her hands, looking smug.
When the Marquis of Zhenbei saw this, he felt a surge of displeasure.
He clenched his fist under his sleeve.
A wicked bastard!
"Madam Lin, is Rui'an at home? I'd like to ask him about the principles of rulership and subject that he discussed at the storytelling hall last time, and study with him."
[Oh dear, that scumbag dad really hurts.]
"Yes, Second Prince, come with me."
"good."
Ignoring the Marquis of Zhenbei, Xiao Junli carried Lin Wanwan and followed Ye Lanyin to find Lin Rui'an.
The Marquis of Zhenbei stood there, his face burning with pain.
He watched the departing group, his face contorted with rage.
That damn Lin Rui'an.
This should have belonged to his beloved son, Shixuan!
Lin Shixuan sighed, "Father, no matter how hard I try, I can't compare to the status of the eldest son."
“Look at the Second Prince, he must be looking down on his son because he is an adopted son.”
"What good is it if my son is incredibly talented?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei snapped out of his daze, patted him on the shoulder, and said apologetically.
"Shixuan, just bear with it a little longer. After the autumn imperial examination, I will make you the true eldest son."
Lin Shixuan's face lit up with joy, "Father, is it true?"
"Yes, your mother has donated all of the Marquis's estate, leaving the Marquis's estate to owe her more than 300,000 taels of silver."
"We were hoping she would take good care of the Marquis's mansion, but now that the situation has changed, it's better to abandon her!"
“This witch is definitely the nemesis of our Marquis’s mansion. I have tried several times to kill her, but to no avail.”
"You're really tough!"
Lin Shixuan listened quietly, a calculating thought arising within him.
"Father, I have a plan."
"What?"
Lin Shixuan whispered a few words into the ear of the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Suddenly, the Marquis of Zhenbei's eyes widened, and then he nodded, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Hahaha, good, as expected of my son Lin Dehong, brave and resourceful!"
When Xiao Junli went to find Lin Ruian, Lin Ruian was reading a book in the yard.
Knowing it was his mother, he didn't hide it.
When he saw Xiao Junli, who was in the lead, he unconsciously hid the book in his sleeve.
"Greetings to the Second Prince." He cupped his hands in greeting.
The Second Prince quickly stepped forward, took his arms with both hands, and said with a smile, "Ruian, there's no need for such formalities. Wanwan's brother is also my brother."
Lin Rui'an panicked. How could he be on such friendly terms with the Second Prince?
How dare he?
"Second Prince, I dare not."
Xiao Junli noticed his hand, which had been somewhat hidden, and then, recalling Wanwan's inner thoughts, he understood something.
He was, after all, a pitiful child.
He was luckier than Lin Rui'an; at least his father was still the same father!
Now, thanks to Lin Wanwan, he has found his birth mother again.
He was grateful.
The Emperor said that the Ye family's children should not be underestimated, and that he should treat them with sincerity.
Now that he has met Lin Rui'an, he understands why his father said that.
He could have easily bullied others, but he remained humble without being servile.
Despite his maternal grandfather holding numerous official positions, he never flaunted them.
He is clearly just as talented as Lin Shixuan, yet he is frighteningly low-key.
"Mrs. Lin, may I sit here with Ruian for a while?"
Ye Lanyin smiled and nodded, "Okay."
It's better for the Second Prince to be on good terms with his elder brother than with Lin Shixuan.
Lin Shixuan is a despicable man; he wants to use the Second Prince.
[Waaaaah, Second Prince, you can't let him fool you!]
The second prince took a deep breath.
Ye Lanyin carried Lin Wanwan away.
"Madam, good news, good news!"
As soon as Ye Lanyin entered the room, she saw Hua Mei looking very happy.
She smiled faintly, "Hua Mei, what's making you so happy?"
"Madam, I have found out about the matter you asked me to investigate last time."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin tightened her grip.
Then he had Hua Xin take Lin Wanwan away.
"Speak quickly."
“Madam, Zou Shuang’er did indeed give birth to three children. I have already found the midwife, but I did not show myself in order not to alert her.”
Where?
"I live in Gujia Village."
Ye Lanyin felt a surge of anxiety and then stood up. "Hua Mei, let's go now."
"Madam, it's getting dark today."
"It's alright, I'll be right back."
Hua Mei couldn't dissuade her, so she sighed and followed along.
She was determined to find that son.
Ye Lanyin made an excuse that something had happened at her parents' home, so she took Hua Mei and walked around the road leading to her parents' home towards Gujia Village.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Gujia Village.
Hua Mei helped her down from the carriage and pointed, "Madam, it's the big courtyard."
“I asked the neighbors, and they said the midwife had been living here all along. She used to be poor, but suddenly became rich overnight.”
Ye Lanyin frowned. For some reason, she always felt that she knew a lot.
