Shock! The maid in the Marquis's mansion gave birth to the eldest son of the prince

"Your Highness, they are my wife and children. In this life, I only recognize them as my wife and children." Pei Jin said firmly, "Since I learned that they were gone, I have repented every night and regretted that I did not protect them well. Now they are still alive and well in this world. This is the greatest blessing from God to me."

"That's good." Jing Hao nodded and said, "Since you already know their news, I believe you will find them. As for Luo Qingqing, as long as she tells me the formula of the medicinal wine, I can spare her life."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I actually have a plan in mind. What do you think?" Pei Jin said solemnly.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Jing Hao nodded.

"Since they are sure that I am terminally ill, let them think that I will not live long. We might as well take advantage of their trick and learn from them to play the long game and catch the big fish. Perhaps there will be unexpected results." Pei Jin bowed and said with a firm tone.

"Shenzhi, this is a very good idea." Jing Hao looked up at him with admiration in his eyes. "In that case, I will let the imperial physician who knows poisons in the Imperial Medical Bureau check you carefully. As for Luo Qingqing, I will also arrange for you to meet her first, but I'm sorry to have to inconvenience you."

"Your Highness, I am not afraid. When the false is made to appear true, the true becomes false. But please keep this matter secret. The more secretive it is, the more likely these people will believe it." Pei Jin said, his eyes gradually becoming colder.

After leaving the East Palace, Pei Jin walked out of the palace alone. At this moment, his mind was full of Chan Yi and An Er.

For several days in a row, he went to the Zhenguogong Mansion to look for Xiao Yuan, but unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him. The Duke of Zhenguo treated him like an enemy, and his eyes were like knives, wishing to split him in half.

He had important matters to attend to, so he couldn't stay there day and night, but he knew that Chan Yi and An Er must be living in the Zhenguo Mansion. Some time ago, the Zhenguo Mansion held a grand osmanthus banquet, and the Queen and Princess Qing Yuan came in person to announce that the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion returned to the capital after fifteen years.

No matter how stupid Pei Jin was, he guessed that the young lady was most likely Chan Yi. Otherwise, how could Xiao Yuan take Chan Yi and her son away before him?

He was both surprised and happy. He was surprised that Chan Yi had transformed into the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. He was happy that she had finally found her biological parents after going through untold hardships and was loved by her parents and brothers.

But the distance between him and her might be even greater. Pei Jin was not sure, he just wanted to see her, tell her that he missed them very much, that he had avenged them personally, and begged her to forgive him for not protecting them well.

After returning to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, Pei Jin hadn't even sat down when he saw his mother rushing to find him with Zhang Mama.

"Mother, why are you in such a hurry?" Pei Jin was a little surprised.

"Shenzhi, Shenzhi, how could it be such a coincidence that Chanyi had just been taken away by Prince Xiao, and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion welcomed back the eldest daughter who had been living in Jiangyin for many years. Do you think she could be Chanyi?" Madam Wang said anxiously, "Obviously, their eldest daughter died of illness a long time ago!"

"Mother, please be patient." Pei Jin helped his mother sit on the rosewood armchair opposite.

"How could it be such a coincidence? If I hadn't been in mourning, I would have visited the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion long ago. I want to see with my own eyes if that young lady is Chanyi. Also, Shenzhi, I miss my little An'er so much. I think about her in my dreams. She is so well-behaved and cute. I haven't seen her for such a long time. I wonder if she still recognizes me as her grandmother." Mrs. Wang said with tears streaming down her face.

Mother Zhang, who was standing by, handed over the silk cloth and her eyes became moist.

"Mother, don't worry, our An'er will never forget you." Pei Jin's eyes were a little moist. He missed An'er so much and wanted to hold him high in his arms.

"Shenzhi, now Chanyi has become the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. From now on, you and her..." Mrs. Wang secretly looked at her son's face, feeling mixed emotions.

Chan Yi, a helpless little concubine, has now become a lady from a wealthy family. It is unknown whether she is willing to see her son again. Fortunately, Shen Zhi broke off the marriage with Miss Lu of Wuyang Marquis's mansion, otherwise, there would be no room for turning around.

"Mother, this matter still needs to be discussed carefully. Now Chan Yi is the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and we are not allowed to mention her past at all." Pei Jin said in a deep voice, "This concerns the face of the Queen and the Duke's Mansion. If you see her in the future, don't recognize her."

Madam Wang nodded and said, "Shenzhi, mother knows. But there is something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Pei Jin asked suspiciously. Could it be that his mother was hiding something from him?

"Shenzhi, mother has kept this from you for a long time." Madam Wang sighed and said, "After you disappeared, your father wanted to make the second son the crown prince. You already know this. At that time, Chanyi was pregnant, but it was uncertain whether it was a boy or a girl. So, she and I made an agreement that no matter whether the child was a boy or a girl, we would..."

"Mother, are you saying that An'er is actually a young lady?" Pei Jin stood up and excitedly held his mother's hand, "Why didn't you tell your son earlier?"

"But this is a crime of deceiving the emperor after all, and Chan Yi and I have an agreement that if you come back and her mission is completed, I will let them go. I didn't expect that your father didn't want to let them go and actually thought of a way to poison them, so I was willing to cooperate with them and let them escape." Madam Wang lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Mother is also very conflicted, and she can't bear to let An'er and Chan Yi go, but on the one hand, it's a crime of deceiving the emperor, and I'm afraid it will affect your marriage, and on the other hand, your father and Aunt Liu want to kill them, what do you think I..."

Mrs. Wang started crying as she spoke. This matter had been weighing on her mind for so long, and finally she spoke it out in front of her son, which made her burst into tears instantly.

"Shenzhi, don't blame mother. The people whom mother feels most sorry for in this life are Chanyi and An'er..." Mrs. Wang said while choking with sobs.

"An'er is a young lady?" Pei Jin murmured, "Mother, why didn't you tell me earlier? Your son can handle this matter. Why did you hide it from me for so long? No wonder every time An'er changed her diaper, Chan Yi and Mother Zhou wouldn't let me watch or change it, saying that men are not allowed to do these motherly things. You kept it from me so hard. An'er, my daughter, it turns out that Chan Yi gave birth to a beautiful little daughter for me..."

"Be careful, be careful..." Mrs. Wang called out in a low voice.

Pei Jin stared blankly at the lotus pond outside the window. The lotus flowers had withered and the pond was gradually becoming desolate.

"No, I want to go find Chan Yi and An Er..."
