Mo Yan didn't even glance at her. This emperor wasn't stupid; it would be bad if he found out. It wasn't that she was afraid; it was just that this was a vacation world, so why make things so tiring?
The second daughter was also taken away and interrogated by the emperor himself. He also instructed Mo Yan to comfort Apple.
The emperor took Nan Chen away for questioning, leaving only Mo Yan and the two children behind.
Mo Yan reached out her hands to the two of them, and they both came over and hugged their mother tightly.
"Apple, you are your mother's daughter. There is absolutely no way such a thing as switching you over could happen, understand?"
Apple knew, of course. She nodded vigorously. "Mother, I know. Brother said that he was the one who watched me being born. Mother went through a lot to give birth to your daughter."
Mo Yan hugged the little girl again, holding her tightly.
Nan Zhiyan was also hugged; he's a big kid now and a little embarrassed.
Not long after, Mo Yan released them, saying, "Don't worry, your mother will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and won't let you suffer in vain."
Nan Zhiyan also expressed his opinion, "Mother, I feel that something is not right. That woman seems to know a lot about things in our household, but it also seems to only know about things from the past. It gives me a very strange feeling."
She said you treat your son very badly, isn't that nonsense?
Mo Yan, however, knew very well that the female lead was a time traveler, knew the entire plot, and knew how to win over Nan Chen and the other two, having them completely under her control.
"Yes, it's as if I know everything that happened in my mother's courtyard back then."
Actually, there was a time when Mother wasn't thinking clearly. She listened to that old nanny and thought that she had to compete for Father's favor, otherwise the two of you would have no place to stand. She did a lot of stupid things.
I'll just say that you're sick, so that your mother can finally realize that nothing is more important than the two of you.
What are men anyway? You are my precious children.
Neither of them expected that such a thing had happened in the past.
Nan Zhiyan was a little suspicious of the old woman. "Then Mother, that old woman? Could there be something wrong with her?"
Mo Yan shook her head, and seeing their puzzled expressions, she explained the situation to them.
"No, not at all. My nanny just watched me grow up and hopes I will be happy. In her opinion, a woman should obey her father at home and her husband after marriage. If she wants to live well, she needs her husband's love and she needs to compete for his affection."
But they never considered that people's hearts are fickle, and that their father only had eyes for those pretty women, perhaps even hoping that their mother would show weakness to him.
But if his mother actually did that, he would feel that his mother had lost her integrity, so why should his mother wrong herself?
My mother has her own dowry, children, and is a princess. No matter what, none of the women in the harem can surpass my mother.
If only Mother treated them well, she would still be a virtuous and generous princess. How wonderful that would be.
"Daughter, let me tell you, you can't give your whole heart to a man. If it works out, great; if not, we still need to have our own lives, understand?"
Mo Yan didn't care at all that her son was still there. This era was really too good for her son; he could choose any of the three palaces and six courtyards he wanted.
"That's right," Nan Zhiyan said, feeling a little awkward. "Mother..."
Mo Yan then looked at him and smiled, "Don't feel embarrassed. What your mother said is true. As a mother, I don't want you two to be love-struck, to be so desperate for love, and to devote your whole heart to one person."
Love is important, but there are many other important things in life: family, friendship, sibling love. Your mother hopes you are all doing well.
The children of this era are very mature; they understand what Mo Yan is saying.
The two nodded quickly, indicating that they understood. The latter two were doing better, as they hadn't shown their true feelings completely and had always maintained a rational attitude.
Well, actually, all mothers hope their children are like that, but they also hope even more that their children can meet someone who is wholeheartedly devoted to them. Different perspectives lead to different thoughts, but in ancient times, it was really impossible to give one's whole heart away.
"Of course, you can't treat others badly either. Just respect each other, like your mother does. That's good too. Your mother respects your father so much."
The two: "..." Suddenly they didn't know what to say.
Nan Zhiyan was clever enough to turn the question back on track, saying, "Mother, we're talking about that promise and Second Sister."
I always felt that the one named Nuoyan (Promise) seemed to know what was going to happen, or rather, she knew what was going to happen back then.
What she said had many flaws.
Putting everything else aside, just look at her relative. How could she possibly tell such confidential information to a woman so casually?
“Mother, I also feel something is wrong. She knows about what happened in your courtyard before, but she doesn’t know about what happened later. This means she only knows certain things. If she really had a relationship with Aunt Li, she wouldn’t only know these things.”
"Grandfather should be investigating what happened back then, Mother. Does that Concubine Li really intend to do that?"
This is exactly what Apple wants to know.
Mo Yan gestured for the two to sit down, and then sat down herself before speaking.
"That's right. Back then, your father doted on Consort Li, while your mother was disliked by your father."
At that time, she had also bribed a few people in her mother's courtyard. Her mother was only concerned with vying for favor and did not notice the trouble that had happened in her backyard.
Later, when they discovered that Zhiyan's illness was being used, they cleared everyone out of the courtyard.
At the same time, it was discovered that Aunt Li had hired a midwife and other people to try and switch the two children during the mother's delivery, so that her child would become the legitimate son and daughter, while Apple would become an illegitimate daughter.
