"So what? Just find a few wet nurses for the baby. Which family is fed by the biological mother? If people tell others about it, they will be laughed at." Pei Jin's face became increasingly gloomy. He had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well tease this interesting little concubine to see what the child and his position in her heart were.

Su Chanyi knew that what Pei Jin said was actually correct. In aristocratic families, every baby was breastfed by a wet nurse, no matter if it was born to the mistress, a concubine, or a concubine.

The reason why she was able to feed An'er personally was because she had the approval of her wife. After all, they needed to keep this secret.

"My Lord, Madam knows that when An'er was born, a wet nurse was found for him. But he refused to drink anyone's breast milk and cried out in hunger. I had no choice but to feed him myself. He only wanted to drink..." Su Chanyi immediately rubbed her eyes and cried.

"That was when she was born. Maybe she's better now." Pei Jin saw that her eyes were red and felt sorry for her. But looking at the child in her arms, he still said, "I'll ask Mother Zhou to find a few more wet nurses tomorrow. How can we know if we don't try? From now on, you just serve me wholeheartedly."

"My Lord, but An'er..." Su Chanyi didn't dare to take any risks. If someone found out... She said quickly, "My Lord, please ask my wife about this."

"No need. You are all my family members. I still have this power." Pei Jin looked at her calmly. Seeing big tears welling up in her eyes, he had to say, "This matter must be resolved sooner or later. A loving mother often spoils her son. What's more, An'er is my first son after all. Do you want him to stay around you, his concubine, for the rest of his life?"

"But, I..." Su Chanyi couldn't help crying. Who wants to have a baby? It's you who forced me to do it! And your fake and shoddy contraceptive soup!

"An'er is still young. Please be merciful and wait until he is half a year old before finding a wet nurse. Is that okay? My Lord, I am willing to serve you, okay?" Seeing that he was unmoved, Su Canyi knelt down aggrievedly.

An'er is just three months old now. In another three months, I would have been gone.

"Why are you kneeling? Get up quickly and talk properly." Pei Jin held the soft little baby in his arms and felt that it was not light. Thinking of this delicate and weak girl holding him every day, he couldn't help but admire her.

Seeing that he was loosening up, Su Chanyi immediately came over like a dog, shyly pulled his sleeve and gently shook it, saying: "My Lord, Chanyi is so lucky to give birth to your first child. Chanyi will definitely listen to you and raise the child well."

The girl's soft and gentle voice was really nice to hear. It was rare for her to take the initiative to show her affection. Pei Jin couldn't help but curl his lips. It's not bad to have a pretty and well-behaved little concubine by your side.

"My Lord, Miss Luo has sent someone to invite you to Tanchunyuan. She said she wants to talk to you about her cousin." Mother Zhou said while knocking on the door.

Cousin? Pei Jin's good mood suddenly disappeared. What kind of trick is she going to play?

"Young Master." Su Chanyi called in a low voice, reaching out to hug the sleeping child in his arms.

"I'll be back soon." Pei Jin put the child in her arms, "Take good care of the child, and have dinner when I come back."

"Yes, Master. I will wait for you to come back and serve you meals." Su Chanyi took An'er back and got to know the Master a little better.

This person needs to be coaxed, just like An'er.

When Pei Jin came in, Mother Li and the others had already helped Luo Qingqing sit under the pomegranate tree.

Unmarried men and unmarried women should follow the proper logic.

"Prince, Qingqing's foot has not healed yet. Please forgive me for not being able to meet you." Luo Qingqing, who was wearing a light red gauze dress, said gently.

"Miss Luo, you're welcome." Pei Jin sat down on the chair opposite and asked, "Why did you ask me to come here so urgently? Did you remember something about your cousin?"

"To be honest, Your Highness, I have thought about this carefully over the past two days. When my mother first told me about it, she only said that my cousin was a minor official in Jingzhao Prefecture. I didn't know the specific details. I thought my mother wouldn't be wrong, but who knew..." She was in a low mood, with a deep sense of loss in her words.

"Don't worry, Miss Luo. I'll look for it for you. If he really was a minor official in Jingzhao Prefecture, there should be a record. Maybe your cousin changed his job or retired to his hometown." Pei Jin had already guessed what she would say on the way here.

"Prince, I am really sorry to trouble you. But Qingqing is an orphan living in the Marquis' Mansion. If she stays there for a long time, I am afraid people will gossip about her." Luo Qingqing lowered her head, her eyes already red.

"Miss, please don't cry." Biyu took out a handkerchief to wipe Luo Qingqing's tears, sobbing.

"Miss Luo, don't worry about this for now. No one knows that you are living in the Marquis' Mansion now. If we still can't find your cousin in two days, we will think of a way." Pei Jin said in a deep voice.

Because he came in a hurry, he was still wearing the light blue cotton silk Taoist robe he had just changed into, which made his tall figure look even more upright.

"If you are willing to move out of the mansion, I can also buy a mansion for you in the capital. If you want to live in the Marquis' Mansion for a long time, there are ways." Pei Jin saw Luo Qingqing lowering her head slightly, quietly wiping her tears, looking so pitiful and lonely. He thought to himself that she was his savior after all, and he would always help her if he could.

"Prince." Luo Qingqing raised her head and looked at Pei Jin with sparkling eyes, and said shyly, "Qingqing has also thought about moving out of the mansion, but I am an orphan living alone in the capital where I am unfamiliar with the place, and I am afraid just thinking about it."

That means she is determined to live in the Marquis' Mansion. Who asked me to promise her to bring her to the capital? Pei Jin sighed secretly and said, "How about I ask my mother to recognize you as her adopted daughter?"

"This... How can Qingqing be worthy of being the daughter of the Marquis' wife?" Luo Qingqing's heart began to beat wildly. How could this be possible? If she adopted her as a daughter, she and Pei Jin would be siblings. Wouldn't that be blocking her own path? Besides, her future marriage would be in the hands of others. There was no way she could agree to it.

"What about Miss Luo's opinion?" Pei Jin took a deep breath and asked slowly.

Of course I'll marry you! But how could she say it with so many people around?

Mother Li was about to laugh out loud when she heard this. This Miss Luo was so shameless that she almost openly said she wanted to marry the prince.

"My Lord, please don't say Qingqing doesn't know what's good for her. Qingqing came from the northern border to this prosperous capital and doesn't understand many things." Luo Qingqing simply sighed, "My mother died early, and my father..."

"Miss Luo, how about this? You can be considered as our cousin. I will talk to mother and you can come and go freely. Is that okay?" Pei Jin said as he stood up. He had already said it. If she still didn't want to, she couldn't blame him for not being so easy to talk to.

Pei Jin looked at Luo Qingqing coldly. She didn't deserve to be the adopted daughter. That meant she was unlucky.
