"Mother, although Madam Wang treats me well, I am a slave after all. My master can decide my fate if she is unhappy." Chan Yi lowered her eyes, "Forget about me, but An'er, I don't want him to live under the control of others forever. I want him to live freely."

"Good child." Mrs. Lin's eyes were filled with tears. She stood up and hugged Chanyi and her son, choking with sobs and saying, "It's all mother's fault. You have suffered so much at such a young age."

"Mother, don't blame yourself like this. I'm grateful that you gave birth to me and didn't give up on me. You've been looking for me so that we can reunite." Chan Yi's eyes were full of tears. She hugged An'er and leaned tightly in her mother's warm arms.

"Qianqian..." Mrs. Lin's heart was filled with sorrow. She never wanted her daughter to suffer again in this life. "From now on, whatever you want to do, mother will do as you wish."

"Thank you, mother." Chan Yi felt warm in her heart. In this world, only a mother's love for her child is so selfless.

"What are you going to do with An'er? Are you still raising him as a girl?" Mrs. Lin looked at the little baby's peaceful sleeping face and couldn't get enough of it.

"Mother, our An'er should resume his identity as a young master. Disguising him as a girl is also our temporary solution. We are afraid that our whereabouts will be discovered while we are on the run." Chan Yi said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll listen to Qianqian." Madam Lin nodded solemnly, with a worried look on her face. "But, An'er will eventually grow up and will definitely have to leave the house in the future. He looks so much like Pei Jin, and it won't be hidden for long. If the Pei family knew that he was a young man, mother is afraid that they would come to fight for him. Besides..."

Seeing that her mother seemed to be hesitant to speak, Chan Yi looked up at her and said, "Mother, if you have something to say, please just speak up."

"Well, mother won't hide it from you. The marriage between the Pei family and the Wuyang Marquis's Mansion has been cancelled. There are rumors that Pei Jin was injured on the battlefield. That..." Madam Lin paused, but still said, "It's not okay. Qianqian, you must know this, right?"

Chan Yi was caught off guard by her mother's words and immediately lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "Mother, how could I know..."

Mrs. Lin saw her daughter blushing at her question, and patted her knees in annoyance and quickly said, "Mother just wanted to ask if you have heard of this matter. Mother is worried that if Pei Jin can't have children in the future, An'er is his only son, and they will definitely not let him go."

Chan Yi nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry for now. An'er can only be my child. Even if An'er looks like him, so what? As long as we don't acknowledge him, what evidence does he have to prove that An'er is his son? If he insists on saying that An'er is his son, then it would prove that the eldest daughter of our Zhenguo Mansion was once a slave in Yong'an Marquis Mansion and was his concubine."

"Qianqian, you are right. If they insist on snatching An'er away, the Queen, His Majesty, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not agree." Mrs. Lin looked at little An'er who was sleeping obediently in Chanyi's arms, and her heart was finally at ease.

"Mother, now that An'er and I are back with you, I don't know how happy I am." Chan Yi looked up at her gentle and loving mother and said with a smile.

Mrs. Lin knew her daughter's intentions and knew that she would never be willing to marry for a while. This was good, as they could accompany each other and she could have more time to make up for the lost time.

When she happily brought Qingying back to the main courtyard, she saw Xiao Changfeng sitting in the hall with a sullen face.

"Husband, what makes you unhappy?" Mrs. Lin asked in a gentle voice.

"Madam, I'm so angry. That damn boy is guarding the door of our Duke's Mansion in a sickly state, and keeps saying that he wants to see Yuan'er. Bah, looking at his consumptive appearance, I wish I could kick him to death." Xiao Changfeng said angrily.

What kind of consumptive ghost? Is there such a handsome consumptive ghost? My husband doesn't like her and can say anything. Mrs. Lin smiled secretly.

"Husband, have a cup of tea first. This is the golden and silver dew that Qianqian specially made for you to relieve your heat." She waved her hand behind her.

Qingying put down the basket in her hand and took out a translucent glass teacup and presented it to her.

"Did Qianqian make this specially for me?" Xiao Changfeng's anger suddenly subsided. He stroked the teacup and said, "Look at my daughter. She chose this teacup very well. The golden tea soup is faintly visible. It's really beautiful."

Mrs. Lin smiled complacently and said, "Of course. Qianqian saw that you have been a little irritated these past two days, so she specially made you some golden and silver dew. You should drink it quickly to get rid of the internal heat. As for whether Pei Jinai will come or not, our daughter has the final say. As long as she doesn't recognize him, they have nothing to say."

"What our Qianqian said is right. As long as our Zhenguo Mansion does not recognize her, does he still want to snatch her away? What a joke. I think he is disabled and no longer has the ability to have children. Now he thinks of our An'er, even though our An'er is a little girl, so what?" Xiao Changfeng snorted coldly and said with disdain, "Useless guy."

"Yes, my husband is right to think so. It's time for him to suffer." Mrs. Lin said with a smile.

Xiao Changfeng smiled and drank a sip of the golden and silver dew, saying repeatedly: "It tastes good, delicious, smells good, and tastes a little sweet. By the way, Madam, why don't you bring An'er here? My granddaughter is so beautiful and cute, a hundred times better than others."

"Husband, don't talk nonsense. Who said that our An'er is a little girl? Let me tell you, our An'er is a real little boy." Mrs. Lin said seriously.

"Ah! It's a boy." Xiao Changfeng was stunned for a long time before he smiled, "Qianqian is really something. She even hid it from her father. No wonder this kid must be regretting it so much this time."

"Shenzhi, I didn't expect that this spy actually poisoned you secretly. He is so heartless. No wonder that woman Luo Qingqing is so arrogant. She keeps saying that she has a secret and she is waiting for you to kneel down and beg her." In the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jing Hao had a solemn expression on his face, with worry between his brows.

"Your Highness, I never thought they would resort to such a long-term plan. They are so confident and I don't know where they got the confidence from." Pei Jin coughed lightly and said slowly, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips. "Yes, since they let me go in the first place, they must have their own purpose. I can only blame myself for trusting them in the first place."

"They are so fearless because they have an insider in the capital. Although we have a target, he is powerful after all. If we don't have solid evidence, I'm afraid it will alert the enemy, which will be detrimental to the court and the northern border. Now that your body is like this again, I'm really worried." Jing Hao frowned and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, full of worry.

"Your Highness, don't worry. The old Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain said that the poison is not impossible to cure. He has a way to detoxify it, but he has to go to the northern border. Even if the poison breaks out during this period, his medicine can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, but it is enough for me to get through it. But he also said that if we can know the formula of the medicinal wine, we can detoxify it faster and more accurately." Pei Jin leaned over and said, taking out the jade ring from his arms and respectfully presenting it with both hands.

Jing Hao took back the jade ring and nodded, finally a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, thank you for your jade ring. It allowed me to scare Prince Shun, otherwise I would not be able to explain myself clearly." Pei Jin said with a bow.

"How is your work going?" Jing Hao asked with raised eyebrows.

Pei Jin shook his head, sighed slightly and said: "I missed the opportunity, but I will never give up and will definitely find my wife and children."

"Wife and children?" Jing Hao asked in surprise.
