"Science? I don't know. I only know that you are my daughter. You were taken away by the midwife at birth. It was my fault that I failed to protect you.
We've been searching for you all these years. Since we've been searching for you for so many years, can you please forgive us?" Lady Protector of the Country expressed the guilt she'd felt over the years.
She understood that her daughter didn't want to recognize them, and she couldn't bear to lose her daughter again.
Over the years, she has been tortured every night, unable to sleep well and afraid to sleep.
"Ma'am, I'm not your daughter, so I can't forgive on her behalf.
As an outsider, I want to say something fair. Since you failed to protect her and let her be taken away by bad people, don't appear in front of her, because you don't deserve it.
Have you ever heard the saying that belated family affection is cheaper than grass?
She has passed the age when she needed her parents' protection, and it is too late to protect her now.
This is what an outsider said, hoping it can wake you up. I am not your daughter, so please don't bother me anymore." Li Yun expressed her resentment.
She would not recognize them unless the original owner gave her information and asked her to recognize them.
These are not her relatives. She just occupied the original owner's body and identity, and they are not qualified to do anything for her.
"The belated family affection is cheaper than grass? You still refuse to forgive us!" The Duke of Huguo was heartbroken when he heard this.
He was wrong. She shouldn't have been away from the lady when she was about to give birth. However, under the circumstances at the time, he simply couldn't abandon the emperor.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. He originally wanted to compensate his wife and daughter in the future, but who knew that the Ninth Prince at that time would be desperate and kidnap his daughter.
"Mom, I'm scared!" Sanbao said fearfully when he saw his mother's look.
"Be good, don't be afraid. Did your mother scare you? I'm sorry!" Li Yun picked up Sanbao and comforted her.
"Mom, who are they? Are they your parents?" Sanbao asked Li Yun.
"No, they are strangers." Li Yun did not avoid the crowd. When she said strangers, everyone heard it.
When the people in the Duke of Huguo's mansion heard this, they were all heartbroken. They didn't blame Li Yun; if it were them, they would have refused to acknowledge him either. They just wanted to take it slow, and one day, Li Yun would finally acknowledge them.
Shangguan Feiyun and Dabao also knew about the commotion here, so Shangguan Feiyun brought Dabao and the others over.
"Yun'er, what happened?" Shangguan Feiyun asked Li Yun anxiously.
"It's okay, they recognized the wrong person." Li Yun said simply.
"Mom, did they bully you?" Dabao asked his mother anxiously.
"No, Dabao, don't worry." Li Yun gently touched Dabao's head and comforted him.
"Brother, they are so bad. They say they are mother's relatives and want to compete with us for mother. Sanbao doesn't like them." Sanbao said to Dabao unhappily.
Dabao looked at the Duke of Protectorate and his wife, and they indeed looked very much like his mother. Could it be that they were really his mother's biological parents?
It seems that mother doesn't want to recognize them, is it because of amnesia, or is she deliberately denying them?
No matter which one it is, he respects his mother's decision.
Shangguan Feiyun and Dabao thought the same thing, that Li Yun did not want to be recognized by the Duke of Protectorate, and he would respect Li Yun's decision.
"Lord, Madam, this is a palace banquet. Let's discuss it another day. You're disturbing the other ministers and it's not good!" Shangguan Feiyun said politely. Madam and Yun'er bore a striking resemblance. They might be Yun'er's biological parents, and his future in-laws. They couldn't be offended.
"Your Highness is right. It was my fault for not considering things carefully. I will take my sons over and have them sit down immediately." When the Duke of Protectorate saw the Prince of Jin and the families of many ministers surrounding him, he realized that he had forgotten the etiquette in his haste to recognize his daughter.
The Duke of Protectorate took his five sons to the opposite side and sat down in their own seats.
"Dad, my sister looks so much like mom, why doesn't she recognize us?" Song Haichao said, puzzled. When he saw his sister, he believed that she was his biological sister, so why didn't she recognize them?
"Because she blames us, it's my fault as a father that I failed to protect my daughter. She doesn't recognize me as her father. I don't blame her, and you are not allowed to blame my sister. We must be good to her and let her accept us slowly. Do you understand?" The Duke of Protectorate warned his five sons.
"Yes, Father.
Please rest assured, Dad, we will protect our sister well." said the five sons of the Duke of Huguo.
"Princess, can I sit next to you?" said the old lady of the Duke's Mansion.
"Princess, can I call you Yun'er?" said the Duke's wife.
"Madam, I'm sorry! Yun'er is a name that only relatives of this princess can call her. It's not right for Madam Guogong to call her that. Please forgive me!
Also, Madam, who sits next to me is not something I can decide. I need the consent of the Emperor, Empress, or Prince." Li Yun said to the Duke's wife and the old lady of the Duke's Mansion.
"Your Highness, please fulfill this small wish of mine?" The old lady of the Duke's Mansion requested the Prince of Jin.
"Yun'er, do you want them to sit next to you? If not, I will refuse." Shangguan Feiyun whispered in Li Yun's ear.
"It's just a seat, it doesn't matter," Li Yunmoling said ambiguously. They could sit down if they wanted to. As long as he didn't give in and agree to recognize them, everything he did would be in vain.
"You can sit down if you want!" Shangguan Feiyun asked the family members sitting on Li Yun's left to exchange seats with the Duke's Mansion, and then took Dabao and the others back to the opposite side.
As soon as Dabao sat down, the Duke of Huguo came over.
"Your name is Dabao, and you are the princess's son." The Duke of Huguo looked at Dabao and said.
He is indeed handsome and has a good temperament, worthy of being his grandson.
"Hello, Your Excellency the Duke. I am indeed the princess's son." Dabao said politely.
"The Duke of this country is the princess's father, and you are my grandson. Just call me grandpa." The Duke of Protectorate said to Dabao.
"My Lord, my mother has already said that you have recognized the wrong person. She is not your daughter. You cannot call her Grandpa." Dabao used his mother's words to stop the Duke of Huguo. Regardless of whether he was my mother's biological father or not, he would not call her Grandpa when my mother did not want to recognize him.
"That's what your mother said in anger. She is blaming us. When she calms down, she will recognize us." The Duke of Protectorate said confidently.
"Then I will wait until mother calms down and is willing to acknowledge you, then I will call you grandpa. If I call you that now, others will think that mother is trying to marry into the Duke's family, which will be bad for her reputation." Dabao found a bunch of excuses to refuse to call him grandpa.
Trying to get him to call me grandpa is impossible.
"My Lord, let's see who dares! I fought on the battlefield, quelled civil unrest, and brought a stable life to the people of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Anyone who dares to disrespect this duke's daughter or gossip about her will be punished without mercy!" the Duke of Protectorate said majestically.
"No matter how capable you are, you can't stop the gossips of the world," said Dabao.
"You are a good kid, smart and eloquent. The Duke is very happy. Wait until your mother recognizes you, then I will hear you call me grandpa." The Duke of Huguo felt that Dabao was too smart and thought things through thoroughly, much better than his grandchildren.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency the Duke!" Dabao said calmly.
