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

"Lord Pei, although my Qianqian and you have a child, you have never married her off through matchmakers. Isn't it inappropriate for you to address us like that?" Duke Xiao's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

Pei Jin is trying to force himself on you, right? Our Qianqian hasn't agreed to marry him yet! There are rumors about you and Miss Lu from Wuyang Marquis's mansion, but our Qianqian doesn't know about it yet. If she knew, she would not want to marry you.

"Duke, it's Shenzhi's fault." Pei Jin bowed awkwardly, with helplessness showing on his pale and thin face.

"Duke, Madam, we have no other intention in coming here this time. Firstly, we just moved here and wanted to inform you. Secondly... I miss An'er very much. Can I meet him? Shenzhi has already told me An'er's identity. Hey, look, what good things have I done? I treated a boy as a lady. I am so sorry to the young lady." Madam Wang took out a handkerchief and wiped her moist eyes.

"Sister Baozhu, this... don't blame yourself. An'er is becoming more and more lively and lovely. He can already stand by himself by holding the edge of the bed. I estimate that he will be able to walk in the spring." Speaking of An'er, Mrs. Lin's face was full of pride.

"Really? An'er is so well-behaved. Miss, you... have raised An'er so well. Can I meet you and An'er this time?" Mrs. Wang's face showed anticipation, and a smile filled her tearful eyes.

"This..." Madam Lin glanced at Duke Xiao, fearing that he would not agree.

"Since that's what the old lady wants," Duke Xiao slowly raised his eyes to look at Pei Jin, then said calmly, "Then let the servants go and see if An'er has fallen asleep. If he hasn't fallen asleep yet, bring him over."

"In that case, we really have to thank the Duke and Madam. This is a gift list we carefully prepared, please accept it." The smile on Mrs. Wang's face became brighter.

Mo Yan presented the gift list respectfully, and Nanny Li quickly took it and handed it to the lady.

"This..." Mrs. Lin looked at the densely packed words on the gift list. From precious gold and silver jewelry, agate and jade, to small and exquisite doll toys, everything was included. It was so complete that people couldn't help but sigh. People who didn't know the situation would think it was a deposit!

"This is just a small token of Shenzhi's appreciation. Madam, please don't despise it." Pei Jin bowed slightly and saluted. His tall and slender figure was as graceful as a fairy-like green bamboo.

"You'd better take it back. It's difficult for us to accept such an expensive gift." Duke Xiao took the gift list, glanced at Pei Jin, and thought to himself, you kid are trying to get the upper hand over your father-in-law, but unfortunately I won't be fooled.

"Duke..." Upon hearing this, Madam Wang said hastily, "Please don't misunderstand me. We just want to express our family's apology to the eldest lady and give my little grandson some clothes and toys. It is also a small token of my gratitude as a grandmother. Please don't refuse."

Mrs. Lin felt a little sorry for her seeing how anxious she was and at a loss, so she thought, "Never mind, just accept it first and she can return it later."

"Duke, since Madam is so sincere, let's accept it." Madam Lin glanced at her husband and gave a wink to Nanny Li, signaling her to go to Tingyuxuan.

In Tingyu Pavilion, Chanyi had just woken up from a nap and was playing hide-and-seek with An'er on the edge of the bed when Madam Zhou tiptoed in and said, "Young lady, Madam Li came to say that Master Pei... no, Marquis Pei and the old lady are here to visit. Please take the young master over to see them."

Seeing the uncontrollable joy on Mother Zhou's face, Chan Yi asked in astonishment, "Marquis? Has he inherited the title?"

"Miss, no, that is the title our prince earned himself. I heard that His Majesty conferred him the title of Marquis of Wu'an! He also rewarded him with a mansion!" Mother Zhou became more and more proud.

"Oh, Mom, you know so much." Chan Yi stared at Mother Zhou thoughtfully, and she immediately realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.

Mother Zhou knelt down immediately in panic: "Miss, Miss, I have never betrayed you. I just met Mo Yan when I went out yesterday..."

"Get up, I'm not that petty." Chan Yi touched An'er's soft little hand and said, "Carry him out and wrap him in a cloak. It's windy on the road."

"Oh!" Mother Zhou stood up in surprise and joy. She was very happy to think that she could see the prince again, no, the marquis.

"Little master, Nanny is holding him. Let's go outside and lift him up high." Mother Zhou clapped her hands to coax little An'er who was standing on the edge of the bed.

If it were usual, Xiao An'er would have jumped for joy when he heard that he was going outside, but this time, he just glanced at Mother Zhou, wrapped his arms around her fingers and ignored her.

"Hey, little master, let's go out and play, come on..." Mother Zhou continued to coax.

Xiao An'er ignored her and hugged Chan Yi's arm tightly, babbling something inaudible.

"This..." Mother Zhou had no choice but to hug An'er and gently pry his hands apart.

"Wow..." An'er burst into tears and kicked her legs.

"This child doesn't want to go out. Forget it, let him be." Chan Yi hugged An'er and held him in her arms. Little An'er stopped crying immediately, without even a tear in his eyes.

He was pretending to cry, it was amazing. Chan Yi complained in her heart and patted An'er's little head: "Good boy, then we won't go out, mom will play with you."

Mother Zhou looked at Chan Yi and her son with great disappointment and was about to go out to report.

"Woo woo..." Xiao An'er hugged his mother's neck with one hand, pointed at the door with the other, and talked to Chan Yi in a woozy manner.

"Our young master wants his mother to hold him and go out to play!" Mother Zhou smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She held Chan Yi's arm and said excitedly, "Miss, Miss, why don't you go with us?"

"Uh..." Chan Yi held An'er's little finger and said angrily, "You go and play by yourself. Mother won't go."

"Wuwu..." An'er hugged Chanyi and looked at her with aggrieved eyes, his mouth pouting, as if he was about to cry.

Chan Yi's heart softened and thought, forget it, let's go together. It's not like they haven't been together before.

In the flower hall, Mrs. Wang was looking eagerly, her eyes glancing towards the door from time to time. Although Pei Jin was sitting upright, there were always a few times when he kept glancing over there.

"Lord Pei, I heard that you were so brave this time that you defeated the two rebels with one move and saved the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wuyang. In the past few days, even the storytellers in the teahouse have made it sound like a miracle." Duke Xiao smiled faintly, "It is true that heroes have always emerged from youth."

Mrs. Wang frowned and glared at her son. How come she had never heard of this? Why did she save Miss Lu when she couldn't save anyone else?

Just as Mrs. Wang was about to explain, the door curtain creaked and a maid lifted it. A beautiful woman in a princess-colored cloak slowly entered the flower hall, holding a plump baby with powdered makeup and a tiger-head hat.
