For this reason, Leng Zi'an mistakenly believed what these people said. After getting drunk one time, he beat her and ordered people to lock her up. He tortured her severely, asking her who she had the child with and demanding that she give out the name of her adulterer.
Fortunately, a servant felt sorry for her and secretly gave her the key, so she was able to escape.
After she escaped, she was taken in by a kind-hearted person and gave birth to Xiaozhi despite numerous difficulties. However, after she woke up, Leng Zian sent people everywhere to look for her. For Xiaozhi's safety and to avoid Leng Zian's pursuit, she moved to many places with Xiaozhi over the years and suffered a lot. Finally, she came to Beijing two years ago.
Originally, she thought Leng Zian would never return to the capital, but she never expected that Leng Zian's deadline for not returning to the capital was twenty years, and this year was exactly twenty years.
Seeing Leng Zian, Liu Mei instantly recalled what happened in the past, and anger and shame suddenly surged in her heart.
She suddenly smiled bitterly and shook her head vigorously.
"I won't go back. That place is a nightmare to me. Just pretend you didn't find me and let me go."
"No, no, no."
Leng Zian interrupted her with three "no"s in a row, "Mei'er, for so many years, I have been searching for you, hoping that you could give birth to my child. I didn't expect that not only did you give birth to my child, but you also gave me a son. He looks smart and bold, just like me when I was a child. Mei'er, how can I thank you? Tell me, what do you want me to do to forgive the mistakes I made back then?"
His words made Liu Meir's heart tremble. She couldn't believe that Leng Zian hadn't had a child in all these years, so she asked doubtfully:
"You've had so many children over the years. Please let Xiaozhi and I go!"
"No, no, those women are a bunch of trash. None of them left me with children. Xiaozhi is my only son. No matter what, I must recognize him..."
"impossible……"
Xiao Zhi's words came from the door. He ran in angrily, stood beside Liu Meir, looked at Leng Zian, snorted coldly,
"I heard what you just said. You are a bad person. I will not go with you."
Hearing him say this, Leng Zian was a little impatient and discussed in a low voice.
"Xiaozhi, I'm your father. I'm not a bad person. I've been looking for you all these years. Come on, call me daddy. Come on, call me daddy."
Xiao Zhi took a few steps back, grabbed Liu Mei's clothes, looked at him coldly, bit his lips and shook his head.
"You are not my father. My mother said that I don't have a father. I don't want to recognize a bad guy like you as my father."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and said to Liu Mei:
"Mom, let's go."
After saying this, he was about to grab the bag on the table, but Leng Zian suddenly shouted:
"Hmph, if you dare to leave, I will raze this Prince Yu's Mansion to the ground."
After leaving these words, he angrily left with a flick of his sleeves.
Looking at his back, Xiao Zhi looked at Liu Mei at a loss, "Mom, what should we do?"
Liu Mei's eyes were red, and she shook her head helplessly.
"Mother doesn't know what to do, but if he says something, he will definitely do it."
"Then we can't leave?"
"We can't leave. We can't bring trouble to the prince and princess."
After she finished speaking, she placed the bundle heavily on the table, untied the straps, and took out the things inside one by one...
Luo Lan learned about Liu Mei and Leng Zian from Xiao Zhi.
From Xiaozhi's intermittent words, Luo Lan realized that Xiaozhi was Leng Zian's son.
This news is really a shocking bomb.
In the evening, Luo Lan waited in the room for Leng Yu to come back.
As soon as he entered the door, he muttered,
"This Prince of Zhennan is such a weird guy, so moody. When he first arrived this morning, he was so arrogant and didn't want anyone to come near him. Then in the afternoon, he became furious. Now he's staying inside and not saying a word, making the atmosphere in the west wing so tense that the servants don't even dare to fart."
Luo Lan fiddled with her hair in front of her chest, raised her eyebrows and looked at him, saying mysteriously:
"Do you know why he's like this?"
"How should I know?"
Leng Yu sat opposite her, took a sip of water, and waited quietly for her to speak.
Luo Lan then crossed the table, put his head close to him, and whispered:
"Xiaozhi is his son."
“Puff!”
The water that Leng Yu had just put into his mouth gushed out in an instant. He opened his mouth and looked at her with astonishment and surprise. Before he could wipe the corner of his mouth, he asked again:
"Who are you saying is whose son?"
Luo Lan blinked cunningly and said again playfully:
"I said, Xiaozhi is the son of Leng Zi'an, the King of Zhennan."
This sentence was like a thunderclap exploding above Leng Yu's head. He looked at her with disbelief, but Luo Lan nodded heavily with confidence.
"You heard right, he is Leng Zian's son. Liu Mei'er ran away pregnant that year."
This piece of news was enough for Leng Yu to digest for a while.
It took him a while to recover.
Suddenly, he slapped the table and said excitedly as if he had thought of something:
"That's great. The Prince of Zhennan has no children. If Xiaozhi were his son, he would definitely be extra caring towards him. Although Xiaozhi is young, he is an upright person. In this way, Xiaozhi might be able to play a role in the Prince of Zhennan's plan to reconcile with the Wu family father and son."
"no."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Lan interrupted him and replied coldly:
"You can't take advantage of Xiaozhi, he's still a child."
"I'm not using him. If Leng Zi'an were to go along with the Wu family father and son, his final fate is predictable. If Xiao Zhi can get him to stop, it can be considered saving him, so this can't be considered using him."
What he said seemed to make some sense. After all, the father and son of the Wu family were ambitious. If they really formed an alliance with the Prince of Zhennan, they would definitely become a major threat to the Daning Kingdom.
At this moment, Leng Yu suddenly looked at her solemnly, narrowed his eyes and said to her:
"Lan'er, close your eyes."
"What's wrong?"
"Close your eyes, and you'll know in a moment."
Although he didn't know what he was going to do, Luo Lan still closed his eyes.
After a while, he came behind her and tied a crystal ruby necklace around her neck, then whispered:
"Open your eyes."
Luo Lan couldn't help but want to laugh. Although her eyes were closed, she could still feel his movements. Is it necessary to be so mysterious when giving a necklace as a gift?
But the moment she opened her eyes, she was stunned by the scene before her.
At this moment, there were many crystal lights flashing in front of her eyes, like a pair of crystal eyes.
"How beautiful! My husband, where did you get so many fireflies?"
