"Madam." Mother Zhou came out to greet her.

"Where is Chanyi? And An'er?" Mrs. Wang looked inside but saw no one.

"Madam, the prince told Chanyi to move to his place this morning, saying that it would be more convenient for them to take care of An'er together." Mother Zhou said with her head lowered.

"Look at what you are saying!" Madam Wang stared at Mother Zhou fiercely and said, "How dare a man interfere in the affairs of a child! What's more, he is not the legitimate son!"

"Madam, this old servant and Chanyi have both tried to persuade the prince, but he wouldn't listen. He said that An'er is his first child and he likes this baby." Mother Zhou said in a low voice.

"Then why didn't you come and tell me?" Madam Wang said angrily, "Think about it, he hasn't married yet, how can he live with a concubine and a concubine? If people knew about this, how would our mansion save face? Shen Zhi... oh, he's so stupid... With him like this, how could the noble ladies in the capital be willing to marry him!"

"Madam, please calm down. I was thinking that the prince has been away on the battlefield for more than a year and has finally returned. It is a long-lost reunion for him and Chan Yi..." Mother Zhou seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"He is doing this... No way... Chanyi is still breastfeeding and can't drink the contraceptive soup. If she has another child, it won't be possible, absolutely not!" Mrs. Wang's face turned green and she quickly walked towards the main house.

"Madam, Chanyi doesn't want to go, and An'er can't leave her. It's not convenient for her to take care of the prince while holding the child." Mother Zhou said.

"Shenzhi is the same. Last time, he was not satisfied with Zhusha and Ziyuan, so he returned all of them." Mrs. Wang was a little annoyed. In addition to her son's reputation, she was also worried that if she let Chanyi and her son go in the future, he might not be able to accept it.

"Madam, the prince has never been interested in women, and it is Chan Yi that caught his eye. And the young master is so cute, how could the prince not like him?" Mother Zhou muttered.

Thinking of An'er, Mrs. Wang's heart ached even more. In the future, she was far away from home and she didn't know if she would be able to see this child again. After all, this baby was her first grandchild.

"Chan Yi, Chan Yi!" she shouted through the door.

"Madam, you are here." Chan Yi squatted down and saluted while holding An'er.

An'er screamed and stretched out his hands to pounce on Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was so happy that she quickly took the baby and called it her darling. Mrs. Zhou stood by and winked at Su Chanyi.

Su Chanyi smiled softly, knowing that the lady must be here to call for punishment. This was exactly what she wanted.

After playing with the baby for a while, Madam Wang handed An'er to Madam Zhou and said, "You hold An'er and stay outside. I have something to say to Chanyi."

Mother Zhou quickly picked up An'er and nodded in agreement.

Su Chanyi welcomed Mrs. Wang into the inner room, asked her to sit on the round-backed rosewood armchair by the window, and respectfully served her a cup of lotus leaf tea.

"Madam, please have some tea. This is lotus leaf tea, which can remove greasiness and is perfect for summer." She knelt on the ground and held the teacup high.

"Chan Yi, please get up." Mrs. Wang took the teacup and sighed softly.

Chan Yi refused to stand up, but knelt in front of her knees, resting his head gently on her knees and said slowly: "Madam, you are Chan Yi's second parent. Chan Yi's life was given by you. Chan Yi will listen to whatever you say."

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and stroked Chan Yi's face with her hand, feeling extremely reluctant.

"Chan Yi, you've suffered." Her voice was a little choked with sobs. "You followed me for a lifetime, and I wanted to find you a good family to marry into, so that you would not have served me so wholeheartedly. But who knew..."

"Madam..." Su Chanyi hugged Madam Wang's knees and called softly, "Madam, I will never forget your kindness to Chanyi in my life."

Su Chanyi was speaking with mixed feelings in her heart. Compared to other masters, Madam Wang was really a forgiving master, and she gave her more monthly wages and rewards. Compared to the miserable days in the kidnapper's house where she didn't have enough food and was beaten at any time, it was really a world of difference.

"Madam, I know that the prince has returned and it's time for Chanyi to leave, but I can't bear to leave you." Su Chanyi sobbed softly.

"Chan Yi, don't worry, I won't treat you and An'er unfairly. The dowry in my hand is all my private property. I will buy you some property so that you can have no worries about food and clothing in this life." Madam Wang whispered, "But you have to agree to one condition of mine. If I want to see An'er in the future, you have to bring him to see me."

Su Chanyi was both happy and worried when she heard her words. She was happy because Mrs. Wang was generous and since she said she would buy them property, it would be enough for them to live a decent life. She was worried because they would be tied to her in the future, which was different from her original free and easy life.

Seeing that she was silent, Mrs. Wang wondered if she had also fallen in love with Shen Zhi? Shen Zhi was one of the most noble men in the capital, and they had a child. Could it be that Chan Yi wanted to...

No, no, no, impossible! She frowned and asked in a low voice: "Don't you want to?"

"Madam, how can Chan Yi deserve such love from you?" Chan Yi raised her head and sobbed, her eyes were full of tears. "Chan Yi also has some savings, enough for the two of us to live a simple life in the future. Besides, I can work, and I will never let An'er suffer."

This... does it mean that she doesn't want me to see An'er again?

"Madam, I will naturally agree to see An'er in the future, but I am afraid that if people get suspicious, this will backfire." Su Chanyi pretended to be worried and said, "Besides, it is well documented that we used your private dowry. I have thought that since you are willing to let us go, we must leave cleanly and not leave any clues. Think about it, the Marquis and the others are coming back soon..."

Chan Yi stopped there, she knew clearly what kind of person Aunt Liu was.

Madam Wang thought for a while, nodded and said, "You are right. Let's discuss this carefully. I promise to let you leave the mansion as soon as possible."

Su Chanyi was overjoyed. She knew in her heart that the lady let her go so quickly because she was afraid that the prince would fall in love with her as a concubine. Favoring a concubine over his wife was a thorn in her heart.

"Chanyi will listen to Madam." Su Chanyi responded with her head down.

"While the prince is away, you can take An'er to the main courtyard tonight." After a long while, Madam Wang said calmly, "It is more appropriate for me to take care of you two than Shen Zhi. As for Shen Zhi, I will find other maids to serve him."

Mrs. Wang is afraid that her son will fall in love with her, and she is also afraid that she will fall in love with her son. How pitiful the love of parents is.

"Okay." Su Chanyi stood up and said, "Chanyi will move over right away."

What a docile child! Mrs. Wang was very satisfied and thought that she would give her more money in the future.

In the evening, as soon as Pei Jin entered the gate of Zhuxiang Garden, he heard a melodious and clear flute sound coming from the lotus pond corridor. He couldn't help but frowned slightly.

He had only been to the outskirts of Beijing for a few days. Who did his mother send to his garden this time?
