"Lin Zixi's mother is called Xiaowan. She used to be your grandmother's maid. I have been in love with her for many years, but I had just married your mother for a few years at that time, and I couldn't give her a name because of your grandfather.

Later, she got pregnant with my child. She was beaten all over but didn’t want to ruin my future. She even took the child and left home. It was only after many inquiries that I found the mother and daughter many years later. But Xiaowan had unfortunately passed away due to illness…”

At this point, the Marquis' eyes showed a rare hint of sadness and pain.

"Xiao Wan waited her whole life for my promise, but I let her wait in vain... She lived a hard life to support Lin Zixi, and even sold herself to a brothel! I was afraid that your grandmother would punish me if she knew, so I made up a lie..."

After listening to his sincere expression, Chu Weiyue suddenly understood.

The one who feels sorry for is the woman named Xiaowan, and the one who is angry is this heartless man!

Since you can't marry her, why can't you respect her fate?

Such a loyal and righteous woman would surely marry an ordinary man and live a simple and happy life, but he killed everything she had...

"I never thought that Daddy had such an epic past! So, should I erect a monument to praise you?"

Chu Weiyue teased in a cold voice and snorted with disdain.

The Marquis was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into!

"Alright, don't bring up these old things. Hurry up and find a way to help her. She is your biological sister after all! Because daddy feels guilty about her mother, you must protect her child..."

He lowered his posture to the extreme and wanted to kneel down and beg.

At first, Chu Weiyue thought that he really felt guilty about his first love, but in the end, he found out that, after all, he still had illusions about power.

This heartless scumbag!

Before leaving, the Marquis specially gave Chu Weiyue a famous sword that he had treasured for many years.

"You and I know this matter, and you must not mention it to anyone else. If people knew that I had an illegitimate daughter, they would laugh at me. After all, no matter how unsatisfactory Ran Xin's mother is, she is still the daughter of an eighth-rank county magistrate."

Chu Weiyue rolled her eyes at him without hesitation, "You want sesame seeds and watermelons, you want too much!"

He snorted disdainfully and turned away.

Walking on the bustling streets, Chu Weiyue was filled with worries, and her beautiful brows were unconsciously furrowed.

According to the Marquis, Lin Zixi and her mother had always read people's faces since they were young, so their personalities must have been aloof and cold. It was impossible for them to be as gentle and graceful as they are now.

In addition, her mother was involved in prostitution, so she was more or less influenced by it. No wonder her elder brother couldn't stop seducing her in the past!

This kind of person has extraordinary endurance and is often ruthless to the core!

It seems that I have to be more careful with her in the future to avoid suffering any harm.

At this time, the system gossip is refreshed.

[Lin Zixi was jealous of Chu Ranxin in the past, and destroyed everything Chu Ranxin gave her! He also secretly put poison in Song's makeup, causing Song's face to be rotten for half a month! ]

[Lin Zixi was jealous of other children being able to call the Marquis father, and she hated the Marquis in her heart. She often played tricks on others and beat them up in the middle of the night!]

[When she was young, Lin Zixi was jealous of women who were hotter than her mother, and often used tricks to bring sick customers to them, causing many women to suffer a fate worse than death.]

…

What was refreshed this time were all kinds of jealous gossips about Lin Zixi, as well as the little actions he had done in the past.

Chu Weiyue was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.

Pulling her clothes, she couldn't help but shudder, "This woman is so dark!"

From then on, whenever she saw him, she wanted to stay away from him.

I really don’t know if Wen Chenxuan would be so scared that his hemorrhoids would flare up if he knew all this!

For so many years, she has been able to endure in this family. One can imagine how much anger and grievance she has suppressed.

When all these things explode one day, it will be a catastrophic tragedy!

As it got darker, more and more street vendors appeared.

There is a stall selling handkerchiefs in front. The embroidery is exquisite and the fabric is actually the finest silk from Jiangnan.

After buying a few handkerchiefs she liked, when she was about to pay, a man in a white robe paid for her.

He looked at Chu Weiyue with an elegant expression, but his eyes were unfathomable.

Chu Weiyue hated this kind of self-righteous young man the most. She glared at him with dissatisfaction and threw the silver directly into his arms.

"I have plenty of money, so I don't need you to spend it! Stay away from me, or my husband will make you pay!"

She made a few vicious threats and continued walking forward, but the man followed her and laughed.

"Your Highness, why do you have to keep people at a distance? I am here only to pass on a message. Our leader wants to see you."

"leader?"

Chu Weiyue stopped in confusion and immediately turned around to look at him carefully.

"Are you from Watten?"

"Yes, I am from Wateng. Our leader has come to the capital. He admires the talent of the princess very much and wants to catch up with you. I hope the princess will do me the honor of coming!"

While talking, he stuffed an invitation letter into Chu Weiyue's hand.

After reading the content, Chu Weiyue was full of doubts.

Logically speaking, Chief Watten should not be here, so why did he come here in person?

There must be something fishy about their invitation like this!

Chu Weiyue wanted to refuse, but the man spoke before her.

"Don't worry, Princess. Our leader is meeting you in the rented courtyard. This is an important place in the capital. How dare he do anything to you? In short, just go to the appointment with peace of mind. I guarantee that it will be of great benefit to you."

Without staying long, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

Watching his disappearing back, Chu Weiyue smiled coldly.

The people of Wateng have always been full of conspiracies and schemes, she would not be stupid enough to fall into their trap!

Even if she really wants to go, it will be under the condition that she can get absolute advantage.

The time on the invitation was noon the next day, not now, and she was the only one invited.

On second thought, is the leader of Waten so stupid?

Even if she wanted to do something, she should be forced to go over immediately instead of giving her time to tell Wen Jingchi!

They knew clearly about their relationship with Wen Jingchi and there was no way they could hide it from him.

Unless, they just want Wen Jingchi to pass through!

After thinking for a moment, Chu Weiyue hurried back to the palace and told Wen Jingchi his guess.

He nodded in agreement. "You're right. If they wanted to harm you, just now would have been the best opportunity. You were alone at the time, and they could have kidnapped you by surprise, but they didn't..."

This proves that the facts are the same as Chu Weiyue guessed, they just want him to go over there!

Chu Weiyue's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something, with a mysterious smile on the corner of his lips.
