When she woke up, Xiao Yunrou found herself nestled in Pei Lingfeng's arms. She was stunned for a moment as she looked at the familiar face so close to her. She also realized that their bodies were pressed together at this moment. Pei Lingfeng's arms were around her slender waist, and she was leaning tightly in Pei Lingfeng's arms, unable to move.

For Xiao Yunrou, the two had been together for twenty years, so she had no shame at all. She stared at the face in front of her generously. Time had not yet left traces on Pei Lingfeng's body, and his young face faintly revealed a unique rebelliousness.

"Why are you staring at me like that, Rou'er?"

Xiao Yunrou was lost in thought when she was startled by a low, hoarse voice. She put away her thoughts and spoke with a guilty conscience:

"Your Highness is good-looking."

After saying this, Xiao Yunrou wanted to bite her tongue. Pei Lingfeng was also stunned for a moment, then laughed softly.

"Then you can watch it alone."

After Pei Lingfeng finished speaking, he leaned down and kissed Xiao Yunrou's red lips. His kiss was as gentle as water and lingering. After Xiao Yunrou stood up, her face remained unsettled for a long time.

Xiao Yunrou was puzzled. How could this man be completely different from the one in her previous life? If it weren't for the fact that his appearance was the same and the feeling he gave her was the same, she would have thought he was a different person just based on his actions.

Xiao Yunrou reluctantly escorted Pei Lingfeng out the door, but he turned around and whispered:

"I will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today, and I will not let the people behind this go either, so you can rest assured."

Pei Lingfeng left with his people after he finished speaking, leaving Xiao Yunrou standing at the door in a daze. Is he looking at himself?

In the past, Pei Lingfeng never cared about the affairs of the rear house. Now, is this for her or for Aunt Shen’s child?

Xiao Yunrou was a little confused, but she didn't want to think too much about it. She already knew who was behind it. If Pei Lingfeng was still the same as in his previous life, she thought, she could still trust him.

Regardless of what Xiao Yunrou was thinking, the eldest master Pei Yuanxuan had also woken up at this time. The two-month-old child no longer ate and slept all day long, and was awake quite a lot of the time.

Xiao Yunrou quietly held Pei Yuanxuan in her arms and sat under the shade of a tree in the yard, playing with him with a wave toy.

Pei Yuanxuan’s early death in her previous life was the biggest pain in her heart. In this life, she would make sure that this child grew up safely.

Thinking back to the past, Aunt Shen, the Third Prince, the deposed Crown Prince, Concubine Zhong...

She would not let go of any of the people who caused the tragedy in her previous life. As for how, she would slowly plan. Aunt Shen was easy to deal with, but the disputes among the women in the harem were over. But the others were all things from the previous dynasty. Fortunately, there were still twenty years. She knew the opportunity. As a respected marquis, she did not spend those twenty years in vain. Twenty years was enough to shake their status and avenge her child and her!

Xiao Yunrou's expression was slightly cold. Perhaps the child was more sensitive. After Xiao Yunrou's aura changed, he started to cry with a pursed mouth.

At this moment, Xiao Yunrou no longer cared about what was on her mind. Her heart and eyes were filled with the child who had been lost and found again.

After Xiao Yunrou coaxed him for a while, Pei Yuanxuan stopped crying. He just rubbed his eyes with his little hands, and it seemed that he was sleepy again. Xiao Yunrou called the wet nurse and handed Pei Yuanxuan to her.

Xiao Yunrou returned to the room, Hongzhuang served her tea and watched her take two sips before asking any questions.

"Madam, tomorrow is the second young master's third birthday. The second young master has such a severe cold, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yunrou remembered this and sneered:

"If his biological mother isn't worried, why should I? He's just a bastard. We can invite relatives and friends to celebrate the occasion as a happy event for the Marquis's Mansion. If things really turn out badly, it's her fault for bringing bad luck to the Marquis's Mansion."

Xiao Yunrou really didn't understand how those who took having an heir as an excuse for not having a child were thinking. As a mother, shouldn't she love her child wholeheartedly? Is power and status more important than her own child?

He didn't want to figure it out, so he didn't think about it. In the evening, Pei Lingfeng sent someone to pass a message, asking everyone in the backyard to go to Zhining Garden where Shen lived.

Xiao Yunrou vaguely felt that Pei Lingfeng was going to deal with what happened this morning, and she began to feel a little bit of anticipation.

After tidying up, he asked Nanny Su to prepare dinner in the small kitchen before heading to Zhining Garden.

After entering the main hall, she bowed to Shen and sat down. The concubine naturally did not have this treatment and could only stand behind the chair. When Xiao Yunrou sat down, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her with resentment. She turned her head gently and saw that the concubine Shen withdrew her gaze in panic.

But Xiao Yunrou was puzzled. Aunt Shen was obviously in confinement, so why did they call her over? Xiao Yunrou looked at Pei Lingfeng with an inquiring look, and the latter gave her a comforting look in return.

The interaction between the two was seen by Aunt Shen, who had been staring at them. Jealousy and unwillingness almost made her want to go up and beat Xiao Yunrou.

"Tang'er just gave birth to a child and can't stand for long. Sit down."

Shen felt sorry for her niece so she gave her the seat. Xiao Yunrou didn't think much of it. If it were any other time, she would have given up. But if she refused now, people would accuse her of mistreating her concubine.

Aunt Shen first thanked Shen, then glanced at Pei Lingfeng gently, and looked at Xiao Yunrou cautiously. Except for Shen who gave her a good look and even comforted her, no one else even looked at her, which made her unhappy even when she sat down.

"Okay Feng'er, everyone is here. Can you tell me why you called everyone here?"

Shen was puzzled, and Pei Lingfeng did not explain much. He just had someone tie Chunfen and a maid in, and also brought a lot of things with them.

"Mother, this is Aunt Xu, from the Shen family's courtyard."? Light?Kiss?The?Cuteest? Yu?Lian?Organize?

Pei Lingfeng's cold voice made Aunt Shen shudder. She raised her eyes and looked at Pei Lingfeng, looking weak and innocent, with a bit of coquettishness in her voice.

"My Lord, this Madam Xu is indeed from my courtyard, but I don't know what crime she committed..."

When Xiao Yunrou saw Madam Xu, she felt relieved and watched the show with great interest. In her previous life, she was an opera singer, and she caught Madam Xu and dragged her to Zhining Garden to prove her innocence. Now, she was the one watching the show.

Pei Lingfeng looked at Aunt Shen with disgust and said to Shen:

"Madame Xu colluded with Chunfen and promised to blame Yunrou if Erlang got into trouble. She slandered the mistress of the Marquisate and harmed the descendants of the Marquisate. As for these properties, they were given to Chunfen by Madame Xu. Many of them were awarded to Shen by my mother. You can imagine who is behind it."

Mrs. Shen hoped that her niece would do well, so she gave her a lot of gifts after she came into the family. Although they were not as valuable as the ones Xiao Yunrou had, they were also good things.

This time, Shen reacted, her face turned pale with anger, she pointed at Aunt Shen, and her whole body trembled.

"Aunt, I, I don't know what's going on. It must be this bitch who slandered me... I kept the jewelry you gave me carefully. How could you give it to someone else? It must be this old slave who stole my things... Aunt, Lord, you have to believe me... How could I harm the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to..."

Aunt Shen was in a state of panic at this moment. She cried and even knelt down. She wished she could kill Aunt Xu alive. She could have bought it, but why did she take my aunt's things?

In this matter, Aunt Shen had wrongly accused Aunt Xu. Although the things that Shen gave Aunt Shen were good, the style was not eye-catching. After all, Shen knew that Xiao Yunrou was the wife of the prince and her legitimate daughter-in-law, so it would be difficult to go beyond her. You can do anything behind closed doors, but you can't let outsiders find fault with it. It's not a strict management of the Marquis's Mansion.

"Ms. Shen, regardless of whether you are the mastermind of this matter or not, you should be held responsible for your servant slandering the mistress. I did not let you harm my son!"

Pei Lingfeng gritted his teeth when he said the last sentence, and hatred and sinisterness flashed in his eyes. He was not feeling sorry for the child born by Aunt Shen, but thinking of the rebellion that year, his wife died in a pool of blood, and their only remaining child was dying. If the emperor who ascended the throne later had not given him the medicine that was hailed as a national treasure, how could he have survived?

"My Lord...it's really not me...it's really not..."

Aunt Shen wanted to grab Pei Lingfeng's clothes to beg for mercy, but he kicked her away mercilessly. Although the kick was not heavy, it was as painful as breaking her heart.

"Mother, I think Shen is not fit to raise a son. Liu is also from an official family and is the legitimate daughter. I have decided to register Erlang under Liu's name."

Pei Lingfeng did not discuss this with Shen, but had already made the decision. Shen was also heartbroken because Aunt Shen did not care about her grandson's life. Although she wanted to stop her son's action, she saw the two servants and the pile of so-called stolen goods, and gave up the idea of ​​pleading for Aunt Shen.

Xiao Yunrou didn't expect such a big change in this life. In her previous life, although she had uncovered Aunt Xu, Aunt Shen's position remained stable because of Shen's prejudice against her. Unexpectedly, it was completely different when it came to Pei Lingfeng. After all, they were sons and daughters-in-law, and the difference was still huge.

Xiao Yunrou's inner sarcasm, Shen Yi Niang's despair, Liu Yi Niang was pleasantly surprised. Shen Yi Niang, who had always bullied her, was abandoned, and now she had a son who was adopted by her. No matter what the future held, she had someone to rely on.

Aunt Liu secretly decided that she must keep the child in her hands. She was not favored, and she didn't know if she could have children in this life. At least now, it was certain that the Second Young Master was her son. As long as Aunt Shen didn't take him back, she would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.

Aunt Liu knew Pei Lingfeng's attitude towards Xiao Yunrou clearly. Even if they were not affectionate, they were respectful to each other. It seemed that she would have to go to Derou Garden more often in the future. If she was blessed, would she be afraid that her son would run away?

"Liu, go to Begonia Garden and bring the Second Young Master back. As for Shen, stay in Begonia Garden. The Marquis' Mansion still has enough food for you."

Pei Lingfeng ignored Aunt Shen's expression, and didn't care about Aunt Liu's slightly excited voice when she agreed to him. He bowed to Shen and left.

"Come here, beat these two servants to death, and sell the whole family out of the house."

Xiao Yunrou finished her speech and left in a good mood. Aunt Shen, it seems that the Shen family who has always protected her in this life will no longer protect her as before.
