"My own."

Even after Jiang Ying got off the carriage and everyone went their separate ways, these three simple words were still echoing in Lian's mind.

Although the statement was so clear and there was no suspense at all, Lian couldn't help but ask Grandma Tang the first time.

"She...she meant that the child was really hers? She couldn't have picked him up from somewhere else?"

Grandma Tang grasped the old man's hands, her eyes trembling, her excitement was the same as Lian's.

She could understand the old man very well. The birthmark of the Jiang family was passed down from generation to generation, and few outsiders knew about it. Only those who served closely in the mansion knew about it.

So when they saw the identical birthmark on both children, they were stunned.

That child must be of Jiang family's blood without a doubt!

Realizing this, Grandma Tang's lips trembled like two fallen leaves, "Old man, you said... that Miss Jiang, could it be that the Duke's illegitimate daughter?"

Normal thinking of normal people.

No one would think of changing the baby right after birth.

When the old man heard this, he subconsciously thought about whether his son Jiang Shang had had a lover outside for so many years.

Then he shook his head firmly, "No! Huifang, you don't understand others, but you know my stubborn son, don't you?

"When he was twenty years old, the young man admired Ai, and after marrying the Luo family, he would not marry anyone but you.

"Like a male leopard in heat.

"When I disagreed, he knelt in front of his father's tablet in the ancestral hall, refusing to eat, drink, sleep or speak for three days and three nights until I relaxed.

"For so many years, he has had a maid in his room!

"When Luo gave birth to her third son, Yuanlang, she was jealous that I had raised her eldest and second sons and they were not close to her, so she decided to raise them herself.

"I personally picked out trustworthy maids and sent them to his room, but he kicked them out!

"With such a stubborn temper and his refusal to compromise, what kind of woman do you think would seduce him?

"You didn't bring your baby home after giving birth?"

Grandma Tang has been following the old man since she was in her teens, how could she not know all this?

But she couldn't figure out why Miss Jiang's daughter had a birthmark unique to the Jiang family on her body if she was not the Duke's illegitimate daughter!

Besides, things that are too absolute are often not that absolute.

"That's not the way to say it."

Grandma Tang advised the old man, "What if something happens? It's hard to talk about our son's affairs.

"I don't doubt the character of the Duke, but when a man is out socializing, it's inevitable that he will get drunk and confused.

"Maybe I don't even remember what I did."

Hearing this, the old man pursed his lips tightly, thinking carefully, and looked at Grandma Tang.

"Then...according to you, it is possible that Miss Jiang was born to Lady Hua?"

It doesn't look like that at all.

It doesn't look like he grew up in a bad environment.

Which girl would let her child study medicine? And she's a girl!

It's not that she looks down on Hua Niang. It's true that women who use their beauty to seduce men can see and think about the same things as these.

She is very smart and would think it would be great if she could marry into a good family and become a concubine.

Grandma Tang nodded, "I dare not say yes, nor do I dare say no. The key lies in what you think, old lady."

"I, I..." Lian shook his head in confusion, "I don't know."

Too sudden, too unexpected!

She was not prepared at all.

Grandma Tang sighed, "There are simple and complicated ways to deal with this matter. It depends on which direction the old man wants to go."

Seeing the old man's burning eyes and distracted mind, Grandma Tang swallowed a glass of water and continued speaking.

"The simple way is to pretend that you didn't see anything today. Don't care, don't ask, it didn't happen."

The old man stared at him and said, "How can this be possible!"

It's about blood. Besides, she likes Jiang Yatou and that kid. If it's true...

Grandma Tang knew this would happen, and couldn't help but smile at the old man's fascinated expression, "I'm sure you won't like the first way, so let's talk about the second way.

"The first thing is to confirm whether Miss Jiang has inherited the Jiang family's unique birthmark like the child?

"Secondly, let's find someone to ask around and investigate whether the Marquis has done anything absurd during his years in Beijing.

"Let's also search the northern border area.

"If it's really the bloodline of the Jiang family, it can't just appear out of thin air, right?"

It is not difficult to find out the birth date and growth rate of two living people.

If ordinary people could afford to go through so much trouble to repay the old man from the Duke's Mansion, they would have a lot of resources to mobilize.

Lian didn't think too much and nodded, agreeing with Grandma Tang's suggestion.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Don't tell me anything else and remember to keep it secret."

She didn't want to cause a big commotion before she found out anything.

Especially the Luo family, if they found out about Jiang Yatou and the child, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.

…

At that time, Jiang Ying, who had predicted what Lian was about to do, was inexplicably pushed against the wall of the car by Yan Zhuo.

Every word and action was full of pressure, "Jiang, did the king warn you to be more honest and modest, and not challenge the king's bottom line?"

Jiang Ying, "???"

MMB, when did she become dishonest?

Is this man sick?

Jiang Ying wanted to push him away, but the man's chest was like an iron wall, and the narrow space was not enough for her and her son to share.

Jiang Ying turned around and put Xiao Yanjian on the stool, then stepped out to argue with Yan Zhuo, "Your Highness, please stop finding faults. When did I violate the code of conduct for a concubine?

"I have never been in a house, I have never been exposed, and I have never been a traitor. Tell me, where am I dishonest and where am I not clear-headed?"

The little woman has a face as rosy as a peach, a voice like a bird, she is pleasing to the eyes and pleasant to the ears, but the words she says can make you angry to death if you are not careful.

Yan Zhuo had experienced this before, so he slid slightly from left to right and grabbed Jiang Ying's fair and delicate neck without any effort. "If you have something to say, tell me again."

Jiang Ying smiled and gritted his teeth, "I'm fine."

A good woman will not eat the loss in front of her, she is not stupid!

It's fun to get angry for a while, but there's no need to burn yourself.

Yan Zhuo, "..."

He thought about taking advantage of the situation and directly tying up the person, taking him to Yuhui Cottage to lock him up, and then carrying him into the mansion when the sun was almost up.

Suddenly, the child on the stool started crying, and a little dog reached out and grabbed his clothes tightly.

[Bad dad, bad dad, bad dad, let my mother go! ]

[Don't bully my mother, you blind, heartless person! ]

Jiang Ying was in a good mood listening to his son scolding his father and helping him stand up for himself.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, being able to train a monkey is also a pleasant achievement.

Yan Zhuo lowered his head, following the little thing, and moved his gaze to the child's face.

The little guy looked ugly when he cried, but his facial features actually looked a bit like him.

Yan Zhuo's anger subsided for no reason, and he twitched his lips, "I won't bother with you! The child is making a fuss, comfort him."

Jiang Ying watched him leave and sneered, "Your Highness, the child's surname is Yan. Why don't you coax him yourself when I let you coax him?"

She knew very well that Xiao Yan was deliberately making trouble with Lord Dog, so she sat in the corner with peace of mind and ignored him.

Yan Zhuo, "..."

However, the child on the soft stool swayed left and right and cried even louder. It seemed that he was about to roll off the golden stool. Yan Zhuo couldn't bear it and stood up to catch the child with his hand.

He was unable to exert any force suddenly, and this action made his brows wrinkle, and he almost fell to his knees.

After a pause, a thin layer of cold sweat seeped out of Yan Zhuo's forehead, but he finally held the child in his arms and sat back on the stool.

The child rests on his knees, lightening the burden on both of them.

Unexpectedly, the child did not stop crying, but cried even more, scratching, kicking and hitting. Not only that, he opened his toothless mouth and bit his tiger's mouth steadily and fiercely.

What a wolf cub!

Yan Zhuo was puzzled, but did not dodge. The little guy had no teeth, so it didn't hurt when he bit it.

At this moment, Yan Zhuo felt an unusual heat and wetness on his knees. His whole body stiffened, and a familiar feeling of bad luck arose.

Little words, [Mom, don't be angry, I'll avenge you, hahahaha, scumbag dad, does it feel good to pee? ]

Jiang Yingzhen looked up in surprise and saw a stain on Yan Zhuo's trouser legs spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Her eyes were full of color, and she wanted to applaud and celebrate for her son.

Yan Zhuo spread his legs, his face as black as ink, unable to control his disgust, "Jiang, the king orders you to take him away immediately, immediately!"
