Jiang Chuwei was so heartbroken that the banquet fell silent.
Everyone perked up their ears for gossip.
Of all the young masters the woman spoke of, only the Marquis of Pingyang's residence has come to the banquet today.
The women all looked toward Chen Yulan.
She was also holding a toddler who looked about three or four years old.
Chen Yulan immediately got up, put the child on the seat, and walked to the back alone.
Their voices came from the artificial hill behind them.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Chen Yulan shouted.
Lu Haoran, who was left at the banquet, cried out repeatedly, "Grandmother! Hao'er is scared!"
The first wife, Madam Liao, had no time to spare for the children and hurried to the back mountain as well.
Seeing the murderous look in her mother's eyes, Lu Yanfang belatedly realized that she had made a mistake.
"Mother……"
"Slap!" Chen Yulan was furious and slapped her daughter.
"Do you know what you're doing?" Chen Yulan roared.
She's more trouble than she's worth; how could she have given birth to such an idiot?
Jiang Chuwei cried out as if she had seen a savior, "Mother! Is what my sister said true? The young master really has an illegitimate child outside?"
The volume of their sobs did not decrease at all.
Chen Yulan quickly said, "That's not true. Don't listen to Fang'er's nonsense."
"My sister said that the child who was chasing after her daughter-in-law calling her 'Mother' just now is the child of the young master and the woman outside."
"Mother, this can't be real, can it? The Crown Prince told me he's impotent; he's never consummated his marriage with his wife, how could he possibly have a child?"
The people at the banquet: ...
What shocking news is this? The Crown Prince is impotent?
Everyone quickly realized that the Crown Prince was not incapable; it seemed that this was just an excuse to fool the Crown Prince's wife.
It turns out that the rumors circulating a while ago were true.
This Crown Prince's wife is so pitiful.
Madam Liao quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Fang'er has made a mistake, Madam, please calm down."
What kind of mess is this?!
Her daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, which should have been a proper occasion, has turned into a complete mess.
"Aunt, how can Wei'er calm down? My sister's story sounds so convincing."
The child was raised by the Chen family, and he still kept calling his mother "grandmother"!
No wonder I felt that child looked familiar; it turns out he's the Crown Prince's biological son. How could I not recognize him?
Did my mother want to register the child under my name? Is that why she and my aunt put on this show? To make the child chase after me calling me "Mommy" and win my favor.
Why would my aunt conspire with my mother to deceive me? You know how much I want a child.
Liao was speechless; the fire had landed on her.
Chen Yulan was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
Jiang Chuwei rattled off one sentence after another, her voice growing louder and louder, showing no fear of making a fool of herself.
Jiang Chuwei's inner thoughts: Heh, so you all know this is embarrassing!
Why didn't you do this sooner? It's so shameful.
Chen Yulan couldn't shut her up, or even get a word in edgewise.
Everyone listened with great interest, and had no interest in today's protagonist, Chen Xinyue.
Chen Xinyue was so angry she almost tore her handkerchief to shreds.
But what could she do?
She looked helplessly at her grandmother.
Grandmother turned her head away.
It seems they're not planning to get involved.
But the second wife's mother refused.
The Chen family's fortunes are intertwined; their fates are intertwined.
Now that the Crown Prince's wife has latched onto the Liao family, we can't let it be proven that the Chen family and the Marquis's mansion are working together to deceive her.
After doing such a despicable thing, it will be difficult for the Chen family's sons to find husbands in the future.
Which family would want to become in-laws with someone who has no moral bottom line?
Why should the children of the Chen family be dragged down by the Marquis's mansion?
More importantly, the second wife disliked Chen Yulan.
She became the second wife of a fallen noble family, and now she thinks she's all that.
He never paid any attention to the second wife.
There are no benefits to be had by the second wife.
Why should the second wife share the blame for the immoral things the first wife did?
The two old ladies, holding their children's hands, also walked to the back of the mountain.
Lu Haoran threw himself into Chen Yulan's arms: "Grandmother!"
Jiang Chuwei was even more heartbroken when she saw the child.
She called out, "Chen Haoran! You said..."
The child retorted loudly, "I am Lu Haoran, you wicked woman! My father is the heir apparent, get away from me!"
Chen Yulan: ...
Everyone: ...
This kid is really easy to deal with; he got his father to confess right away.
The second old lady objected: "Eldest daughter, this is where you're wrong. How can you bring someone you don't know into the house? If word gets out, won't the Chen family have any face left?"
Liao glanced at Chen Yulan. Now that things have come to this, she had to extricate the Chen family from the situation.
"Second Aunt, don't be angry. I really didn't know this child was the Crown Prince's child. My aunt didn't say anything either!"
She only told me that the master at Xiangguo Temple said it wasn't advisable for the child to grow up in the Lu family mansion before the age of three. As relatives, the Chen family isn't unable to afford to raise a child; they'll lend a hand if they can. Second Aunt, don't you think so?
"You're so foolish! You meant well but did something wrong. Quickly apologize to the young master's wife, look how upset this child is."
Taking advantage of the situation, Liao grabbed Jiang Chuwei's hand and said, "Auntie meant well but things went wrong. Please forgive me this time! I didn't know the details, did I?"
Jiang Chuwei lowered her head and remained silent.
The two of them worked together to completely absolve the Chen family of any responsibility.
Chen Yulan was so angry that her eyes twitched; her sister-in-law was really awful.
