Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Yun Ran was slapped four times by her father in the study. She was already angry, and when the gatekeeper maid bumped into her hand, how could she let it go so easily?

She had originally thought that if her mother sold the maid as she wished, she would not cause trouble.

But her mother clearly saw how swollen her face was, and not only did she not ask her how she was injured, she also refused to sell the maid as she requested and told her to shut up.

Why? She has already suffered so much injustice, why can her mother still tolerate the maid looking down on her?

Yes, that’s right, Yun Ran felt that the maid was despising her and looking down on her, otherwise why would she stop her at the door.

As the only daughter in the prime minister's mansion, she cannot swallow this humiliation. Mother, if you don't want me to sell her, then so be it.

"Mom, if you don't obey me today, I will never come back."

Zhao ignored Yun Ran. Instead, she asked someone to take the gatekeeper maid away and told someone to apply medicine. Then she looked at Yun Ran.

"Ran'er, enough of the trouble, come in with mother."

Yun Ran wanted to say no in a firm tone and turn around and leave, but she really had neither the confidence nor the courage, so she had to find an excuse herself.

"Mom, for your sake, I'll let it go today. If it happens again in the future, I won't give in so easily."

Seeing that her daughter was still adamant, Zhao frowned, turned around and walked towards the yard.

As Zhao walked, she told the maid to get some ice cubes and apply it on the young lady's face.

Yun Ran felt a little better after hearing this.

"Mom, I thought you didn't care about me at all, otherwise why didn't you ask what happened to my face."

After Zhao sat down, she looked at Yun Ran and said with some concern: "Ran'er, tell me, how did you make your father angry and beat you like this?"

"Mom, I didn't say it was Dad who beat me, how did you know?"

"Is there any need to ask? You are a young lady in the mansion. Which of the servants would dare to attack you? And you didn't come to mother's side, so the only possibility is your father."

After Zhao finished speaking, Yun Ran fell on her knees and burst into tears, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances in her heart.

After crying for a long time, Yun Ran finally stopped crying. Then she sobbed a few more times and then she started to complain to Zhao.

"Mother, you guessed right. It was father who beat me. I didn't say anything. I just told father that my marriage with the third prince was settled and asked father to discuss my daughter's dowry with you. As soon as I finished saying this, father got furious and beat me. He slapped me four times. Mother, those were four full slaps."

Before Zhao could speak, Yun Ran continued, "My daughter has never been beaten since she was a child, let alone being slapped in the face and having her face swollen like this. Mother, tell me if my father is my real father. How can you..."

"Shut up, Ran'er, how dare you say anything out loud? Don't say that in the future, do you hear me?"

"Mother, that father is my biological father, how could he be so cruel as to hit me. I used to live in Xinghua Village with Li and Li An. Although life was a little harder, they never touched their daughter. But I just returned to the Xiangfu and I was slapped in the face."

When Zhao heard Yun Ran mention Li and Li An, she was unhappy, but she didn't care about it because she grasped a key piece of information from her daughter's words.

That is, her daughter said that she was engaged to the third prince. This was no small matter. She immediately understood why the master lost control and became angry and beat her daughter.

"Ran'er, don't cry yet. Tell me what's going on with your engagement to the Third Prince?"

Yun Ran, who still wanted to continue crying to gain sympathy, stopped crying immediately when she heard her mother mention the third prince. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, composed herself, and talked about the third prince with Zhao with a smile on her face.

"Mother, I came to you to tell you about my marriage. You see, my daughter was so busy crying that she almost forgot about the important matter. Mother, don't mind, I will tell you right away."

So Yun Ran happily told everyone that the old lady of Prince An's Mansion had personally agreed to her marriage with the third prince.

Zhao was shocked after hearing this. She wondered if she had forgotten to give birth to Yun Ran's brain when she gave birth to him, otherwise how could Yun Ran do such a stupid thing.

She didn't need to say it. Anyone you randomly pick up on the street would know that this was absolutely impossible. Even a three-year-old child knew that the prince's marriage would not be so perfunctory and allowed an old lady in the palace to decide it so easily.

But this brainless daughter of hers took it seriously and went into her father's study as if she had gotten a great bargain.

Although she didn't understand what her master was going to do specifically, she was aware that the Prime Minister's Mansion had sided with the Second Prince's camp and was too busy severing ties with the Third Prince. Why was her daughter still eagerly trying to get close to them? This was courting death.

But if Yun Ran wanted to die, he could just go alone. Why did he have to drag the entire prime minister's residence with him?

Zhao's mind was racing as she thought about how to minimize the impact of this incident.

Yun Ran looked at her mother, who had a similar expression on her father's face, and her heart skipped a beat. She felt that it was a mistake to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion this time. Not only would she fail to achieve her goal, but she might also lose her marriage with the Third Prince.

Because she knew that every parent attached great importance to their children's marriage, but when it came to her, not only did she not see a smile on her parents' faces, but it was as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.

How could this happen? If she got the Third Prince's marriage, wouldn't it be a great thing for the Prime Minister's Mansion?

When she becomes the Third Prince's consort, won't the Prime Minister's Mansion also benefit from it? But what about her parents?

Thinking of the terrible result, Yun Ran subconsciously stood up, took a few steps back, and stopped when he was some distance away from Zhao.

"Mom, don't you want me to live a good life? Do you still want me to live the same hard life as before?"

Zhao was analyzing this incident, thinking about how much negative impact it would have on the Prime Minister's Mansion and how to reduce the losses.

But before she could figure out what was going on, she heard her daughter's questioning and had to look up.

"Ran'er, sit down first and let the maid put some ice on your face to reduce the swelling."

"No, I won't go. I know you must be thinking about how to cancel my marriage with the Third Prince, but I'm not that stupid. Mother, I'm telling you here today that I like the Third Prince, I love the Third Prince, and I will never marry anyone else in my life. If you still want me as your daughter, then give up the idea of ​​canceling the engagement, otherwise I will never return to the Prime Minister's Mansion again."

"If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. You'd better get out of here right away. I don't have a daughter like you who would destroy my family and my clan."

Zhao just stood up and wanted to walk over to Yun Ran to comfort her, but she saw the master coming into the yard, so she just stood there motionless.
