Under Lu Ting's intimidation, Eunuch Hailin finally confessed.
Lu Ting got what he wanted to know, locked Eunuch Hailin and the guards in the woodshed and went home.
The little milk ball was still trying hard to coax his angry mother. The little puppy seemed to know that it was he who made his big master angry, and he wagged his little tail and bowed to Ying Xixi.
Two dumplings, one big and one small, were showing off their treasures, which made Ying Xixi's deliberately tense face a little uncomfortable.
She held her forehead and sighed, "Lu Xinli, do you know you are wrong?"
The little girl nodded her little head quickly, "Mother, I'm wrong. I shouldn't have run out. Don't be angry, mother. Give me a hug."
The little kid acted coquettishly in a baby voice, rolling around in his mother's arms, and finally made his mother happy.
Ying Xixi pinched the little fat of the baby, looked up and saw Lu Ting coming back, and asked hurriedly.
"Lu Ting, what happened? Did you find out anything? Why did those two people take Guaiguai away?"
Lu Ting glanced at the confused little boy and asked him to take the puppy out to play in the yard. Then he started talking about business with Ying Xixi.
"Wife, I want to be honest with you about my life experience."
Lu Ting pursed his lips and spoke solemnly.
Ying Xixi looked a little surprised, but the little guy in her heart was already baring his little white teeth and crossing his legs.
Lu Ting, this bastard, had been holding it in for so long, and he was finally willing to tell her about his life story and hidden identity.
She has been curious for a long time.
"What's your background? Aren't you just a hunter living in Taohua Village?"
Ying Xixi was surprised but pretended to be confused and curious.
Lu Ting took Ying Xixi's hand and spoke slowly.
"Wife, actually, I am the third prince of the royal family."
Ying Xixi: “???”
“!!!”
She guessed wrong. She thought Lu Ting was a prince or some kind of heir.
“My biological mother is a noble concubine, and she is very favored by my father.
My father has ten sons, and I am the third. However, I don’t know if my father has given birth to any other sons over the years.
My biological mother was very ambitious. She wanted to become the empress dowager and make her son the emperor.
At the beginning, the imperial concubine only had me as her son, and she placed all her hopes on me. She was very strict with me and asked me to do everything to the best of my ability so that I could be noticed by my father among the many princes.
At the same time, she also took the initiative to help me, or rather, help herself, to clear out the enemies.
Several of my father's sons died or became disabled for various reasons, and none of them had the chance to become emperor.
Among them, the eldest prince, my eldest brother, was particularly kind to me. He was the only light in my childhood under the strict control of my biological mother. Also because of my biological mother, he had disabled legs and had no chance of becoming emperor.
Moreover, I witnessed it with my own eyes when my biological mother ordered people to attack my eldest brother. I was eight years old that year.
I was emotionally devastated at the time, but I had no choice but to continue living in a muddle-headed life under the arrangement of my biological mother.
Later, when I was ten years old, my biological mother gave birth to a son. She was very good to him and gave all her motherly love to her little son.
I am just the embodiment of her ambition, and her little son is the embodiment of her maternal love.
I was very envious of my younger brother, so I started to deliberately go against my biological mother, but what I got was not maternal love, but disgust.
When she looked at me, I could see undisguised disgust in her eyes.
Later, I became an abandoned child, and she began to train my younger brother just as she had trained me.
It's just that she has motherly love for her brother.
When I was fourteen, I was in so much pain and wanted to escape from the palace that was like a cage. I also didn't want to see the scene of my biological mother and younger brother being so loving and filial.
I left the palace and the capital, wandered around for a few years, and finally came to Taohua Village and became a hunter."
When Lu Ting said this, his voice was a little hoarse. He reached out and hugged Ying Xixi, burying his head in her neck.
"I don't regret what I've been through, because I came to Taohua Village and met you."
Ying Xixi hugged Lu Ting back and gently patted his broad back to comfort him.
"Everything is over. Our lives will be better in the future. So, were those two people sent to capture Guaiguai by the Imperial Concubine's order?
Is it because the imperial concubine's son couldn't have children that she set her sights on your son?"
Ying Xixi made a casual guess.
Apart from this situation, she couldn't think of anyone else who would want to catch the milk ball.
Could it be that the imperial concubine is missing her grandson?
That's fine. He doesn't even want his eldest son, and yet he expects the next generation to be close to him.
Lu Ting was stunned for a moment, and a low smile sounded in Ying Xixi's ears.
Ying Xixi dodged, "What are you laughing at? Did I guess right?"
"Yes, my wife is very capable. You guessed it right. It is indeed because my brother has been married for many years and has taken in many concubines, but he still can't have a child.
Although my father intended to make him the crown prince, he could not allow a prince who could not have children to be the next emperor.
The imperial concubine's spies knew that my wife had given birth to a smart son for me, so they set their sights on Lu Xinli.
The two who came to capture the child were one of the imperial concubine's trusted eunuchs and the other a guard. The eunuch said that the imperial concubine wanted to take the child back to the capital and pretend that it was my brother's child.
As long as he has a child, the emperor will make him the crown prince."
Lu Ting’s words made Ying Xixi’s fists stiffen.
"Your Highness, it's not enough to bully you, now you're targeting your son?!
She really thought we could just watch her take our son away!
No, Lu Ting, my son is born to me, and he can only recognize me as his mother. I will never allow him to be taken away by others and call someone else his mother!
If the imperial concubine still refuses to give up, I will not be polite to her just because she is your biological mother!"
Ying Xixi had a tense face and clenched her fists tightly.
It was rare for Lu Ting to see her like this, and his heart softened. He hugged her and couldn't help but start kissing her here and there.
Ying Xixi pushed Lu Ting in annoyance, "I'm telling you something serious! Stop kissing me! Lu Ting!!"
Ying Xixi grabbed the dog man's ear, and Lu Ting stopped.
"Don't worry, my dear wife. Even though that brat always tries to snatch you from me, he is my child after all, born with your hard work. I will definitely protect him and won't let him get bullied!
but. "
Lu Ting changed the subject and his expression became serious.
"This time, the Imperial Concubine failed in her attempt to send Eunuch Hailin to take Lu Xinli away. She will definitely not give up.
She might come up with other bad ideas to plot against us later."
Ying Xixi raised an eyebrow, "In that case, why don't we take the initiative?"
Lu Ting smiled and pinched Ying Xixi's cheek, "I'd like to hear more about it."
