My bad father abandoned me, so I turned around and killed him

Lin Zhengping asked: "Then did you find out when the Wan family's daughter-in-law gave birth to her sixth child?"

"Of course! It was exactly five years ago, but no one knows the exact time, and no one has found out.

Anyway, when the Wan family's wife goes out again, people will ask about the child, and the Wan family will give that explanation."

It wasn't that he specifically inquired about it, but it just happened that the Wan family had become prosperous at that time, and it was hard for people to forget about it.

Lin Yaoyao raised her eyebrows. This age matched Lin Ruihao's.

How could such a coincidence happen in this world?

It just so happened that the Wan family's sixth child was stillborn, it just so happened that Lin Ruihao was five years old, it just so happened that he looked similar to Wan Qiushan, and it just so happened that the Wan family made a fortune that year...

There are indeed many coincidences in the world, but when coincidences reach this level, they are no longer coincidences.

This must have been planned in advance.

I guess the idea of ​​having a son wasn't just something Shen Yanran thought up on a whim, but something that had been planned in advance, right?

The Wan family gave birth to five sons, and all their ancestors were boys. This kind of gene must have been very attractive to Shen Yanran.

If nothing unexpected happens, the sixth baby will naturally be a son.

Shen Yanran knew very well that with her status at that time, if she wanted a legitimate position, she would definitely need an absolute bargaining chip.

What did the ancient noble families value most?

Of course it’s offspring!

And it has to be a son; a girl isn't important enough.

As long as she has a son, and Qu Manrong is out of favor, it is only a matter of time before she becomes the marquis's wife.

Shen Yanran is very smart. Not only does she have a son, but she also paved the way for her son in advance.

Words like "genius" or "child prodigy" may not be good things in ordinary families, but they are definitely advantages in wealthy families.

Whether Lin Ruihao is really good or not is not discussed for now, but at least he is indeed better than ordinary children now.

This is the reason for Shen Yanran’s success.

She can plan so many things relying on this son.

She successfully made Lin Zhengfeng determined to make plans for them and their son.

As long as Lin Ruihao remains obedient and follows the path she has paved for him, takes the imperial examination and gets a job as an official, her retirement will not be a problem.

She always has a way out.

Lin Yaoyao also had to admire Shen Yanran's good methods.

The reason why she is able to suppress Shen Yanran now is entirely due to her fighting strength.

But if she had no fighting skills, based on her previous knowledge, she couldn't guarantee that she could defeat someone like Shen Yanran.

"Are you talking about the Prince of Pingyang's Palace?" Lin Zhengping asked.

"In reply to your question, it is the Prince of Pingyang's Mansion. The Wan family has been working in the manor of the Prince of Pingyang's Mansion."

"Okay, I see, you go down first!"

Lin Yaoyao threw him an ingot of silver before sending the man away.

"Dad, is there something wrong with the Prince of Pingyang's Mansion? Does the other party have any background?"

"This Pingyang King Feng Xuance is the younger brother of the previous emperor, the uncle of the current emperor, and has the honor of following the emperor.

His Majesty has great respect for his uncle, Prince Pingyang.

Rumor has it that Prince Pingyang and Princess Pingyang were a young couple who loved each other very much. The only regret was that Princess Pingyang was infertile.

When the late emperor was alive, he advised Prince Pingyang to take a concubine more than once, but Prince Pingyang refused each time...”

Before Lin Zhengping could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Yaoyao.

"Dad, what you said... seems to have nothing to do with the Wan family, right?"

Lin Zhengping was not angry even though he was interrupted, but continued talking to Lin Yaoyao.

"Just listen to what I have to say, and you should understand why I ask this."

The Princess of Pingyang is indeed infertile, but the Pingyang Palace now has a prince.

It was Prince Pingyang who brought him back from outside.

He told others that he had picked up the child and that he and his wife had a destiny, so he raised the child as his own son.

After the child was brought back, he was registered under the princess' name and raised by Princess Pingyang herself.

Everything looks normal here.

But as time went by, the prince finally grew up.

Gradually, people discovered that the prince and the father and son of Prince Pingyang were almost carved from the same mold.

It is hard not to wonder whether he is an adopted son or the biological son of Prince Pingyang?

Lin Zhengping once met the King of Pingyang when he returned to Beijing to report on his work.

Coincidentally, he saw a young girl and Prince Pingyang arguing on the street, and they seemed to be arguing about something.

But he didn't pay attention to this matter at that time. After all, there was not much interaction between him and Prince Pingyang.

These naturally don’t mean anything.

But the problem was that there were many rumors about Prince Pingyang in the capital, and it was rumored that he had a mistress outside.

Princess Pingyang knew about this.

I heard that the concubine was a prostitute from a brothel, a courtesan, and her status was clearly not worthy of being brought into the palace.

The only value of the concubine's existence is to give birth to a child and an heir for the royal palace.

Lin Zhengping had heard more than once that in addition to his adopted son, the Crown Prince, Prince Pingyang actually had an illegitimate daughter.

The illegitimate daughter and the prince are born to the same mother. The illegitimate daughter is the elder and the prince is the younger.

However, the palace did not need a princess, only a prince to inherit the palace, so the illegitimate daughter was left outside.

After calculating her age, it seemed to match the age of the woman he saw that year.

When he considered the relationship between Shen Yanran and the Wan family, it was hard not to suspect that Shen Yanran was the illegitimate daughter of King Pingyang.

The key point is that the ages and identities of these two people are surprisingly similar.

It is hard not to suspect that Shen Yanran is the rumored illegitimate daughter of Prince Pingyang.

Although she was not recognized by Prince Pingyang, it did not prevent her from taking advantage of the power of Prince Pingyang's Palace.

From this point of view, everything makes sense. Why was Shen Yanran able to find tens of thousands of people?

"This...are there really such coincidences in the world?" Lin Yaoyao wanted to ask.

But there was a voice in her heart telling her that such coincidences really could happen in the world!

Given the relationship between Prince Pingyang and Princess Pingyang, they might not allow Shen Yanran to return to her ancestral home.

But some of her requests were reasonable, and I think the other party would not refuse them.

There shouldn't be any problem with financial assistance.

I just don’t know why the Pingyang Palace suddenly stopped supplying her with food over the past period of time.

Otherwise, with Shen Yanran's pride, she would never agree to become a concubine in the Marquis' Mansion unless she had no other choice.

What exactly happened here?

Or did they simply guess wrong, and Shen Yanran was not a concubine of the royal palace at all, and simply came to the Wan family by accident?

No matter which possibility it is, they need to verify it in person.

Lin Yaoyao thought that she had to go to Yihongyuan again to see if she could find the answers she wanted there.
