Luo Qi'an barely managed to suppress the surging emotions within him, and his expression had just calmed down a bit.
King Jinrui Zhao's series of questions came at you like a barrage of bullets, without warning.
He subconsciously frowned, his brows furrowing deeply.
His lips twitched slightly involuntarily, as if these subtle movements could help alleviate the inexplicable irritation in his heart.
In reality, wasn't he also extremely anxious? Every minute and every second felt like torture to him.
He was eager to know the whole story and couldn't wait to uncover the many mysteries surrounding it all.
Those questions crawled like countless ants in his mind, disturbing his peace for a moment.
But the King Jinrui Zhao in front of him looked flustered, his eyes were full of anxiety, and his tone was so hurried that he was even somewhat incoherent, as if he was even more anxious than the person in question.
If it were anyone else, Luo Qi'an would have been even more annoyed by King Jinrui's sudden interruption.
But when it was King Jinrui Zhao who changed his mind, his heart, which had been churning like a raging storm, miraculously calmed down.
In that instant, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
No matter what earth-shattering secrets are hidden behind this, no matter how many doubts I have in my heart that need to be resolved, at this moment, nothing is more important than Ning'er's safety.
Ning'er, that well-behaved and adorable child, has been by his side since she was little.
Every smile, every coquettish gesture, every tear shed in distress—all these vivid images were deeply etched into his heart.
Even if he is told in the end that Ning'er is not his biological child, the feelings he has for her after so many years of being together day and night are still there.
They had long since become so deeply intertwined, like blood relatives, that it was impossible to sever their bond.
Luo Qi'an slowly turned his head, his gaze seemingly drawn to "Wen Ruo".
At this moment, Wen Ruo sat there lifelessly, her face pale, her lips cracked, as if all her energy had been drained away.
Like a delicate flower ruthlessly ravaged by a storm, so fragile that it seems it might wither and die at any moment.
Luo Qi looked at her quietly, his heart filled with mixed feelings and a multitude of emotions.
He used to know this woman so well. All the time they spent together over the years, whether it was laughter or occasional arguments, was still vivid in his mind.
Regardless of whether those past feelings were genuine or not, and regardless of her motives for accompanying him all these years, it is undeniable that she was indeed there for him during those days.
Right now, everything is still unclear, all the truths are still shrouded in mystery, and every clue is like a tangled mess that can't be untangled.
Luo Qi'an sighed inwardly, thinking to himself that he would seriously consider how to treat her after everything had come to light.
Seeing Qin Qianluo's anxious face and the string of questions that came out of her mouth, Feng Qingyun couldn't help but smile and gently comfort her.
"Luo Bao, don't be anxious. This is a long story. Please calm down and let me tell you the whole story."
Actually, to be honest, this isn't entirely Wen Ruo's fault; she's also a tragic figure whose life has been filled with hardship and who has been tormented by fate.
Feng Qingyun narrowed her eyes slightly and slowly opened her lips, "Back then, the matriarch of the Wen family was pregnant for ten months and finally gave birth."
That day, the entire Wen residence was enveloped in a tense and busy atmosphere, with servants hurrying in and out.
Outside the delivery room, Mr. Wen paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his face full of anticipation and unease.
Who could have predicted that at this seemingly ordinary moment of production, a conspiracy that could change the fate of several people would quietly emerge, like an undercurrent in the dark night?
At that moment, the old woman serving by the side, looking at the new life about to be born, had a bold and wicked thought in her heart.
She thought to herself, the lady doesn't yet know if she's carrying twins or a boy and a girl, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If I were to switch my grandson in, I could live a life of luxury and ease in this opulent mansion.
Once this thought was planted, it grew wildly in her heart like weeds.
In fact, she had long coveted the Wen family's wealth, but she had never found an opportunity.
When the matriarch of the Wen family gave birth, she meticulously planned and went to great lengths to bribe the key figure—the midwife.
Coincidentally, her daughter-in-law also mistakenly drank labor-inducing drugs before the matriarch of the Wen family went into labor, and gave birth to a baby boy prematurely.
This series of seemingly coincidental events was in fact a cruel arrangement of fate.
When the old woman hurriedly returned to the Wen family with her grandson in her arms, the twins of the Wen family matriarch had just been born, and their loud cries broke the tension in the household.
She was an old servant who had served the matriarch of the Wen family for many years and held a certain position in the household.
At that time, the most caring and capable nanny stayed by the side of the weak mistress after childbirth, not daring to leave for a moment, and the newborn babies were first taken away by the wet nurse to be cleaned.
Although there was more than one midwife, the one who was bribed was extremely shrewd. After the delivery, she made sure that the other midwives didn't touch the baby.
Meanwhile, the nanny serving the mistress of the Wen family was completely focused on her safety.
Busy feeding the young master medicine and wiping his sweat, she had no time to attend to his condition, which created the perfect opportunity for the scheming nanny.
"With her status and connections in the mansion, it was easy for her to get rid of the wet nurse."
Taking advantage of the wet nurse's absence and the brief moment when she was cleaning the infants, she quickly switched the two babies.
