"An'er is still young." Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "Why don't you come forward and take a look."

"Sister, you don't have to look. You just want to see if An'er looks like me. Don't worry, father has already checked for you." Pei Jin said suddenly while holding Chan Yi's hand.

"Brother, Yun'er said something wrong last night, and Auntie has already punished me. Please forgive me." Pei Yun raised her tearful face and looked over. Seeing that he was not looking at her, she quickly said to Su Chanyi, "Sister Chanyi, I really didn't mean it. Can you please forgive me?"

Pei Yunshan, who was sitting in the hall, was not happy to see his most beloved little daughter begging for mercy from a concubine. He put on a stern face and acted like the head of the family to Pei Jin: "Shenzhi, Yun'er is your sister, why do you have to speak so harshly? Isn't it good to be happy this early in the morning? There are many things to do in the palace, why don't you go? A man should not care about those trivial matters."

"Father is right. Yun'er is your biological daughter, and An'er is my biological son, isn't he? What would you think if someone suspected that Yun'er was not your biological child? Fortunately, my An'er looks like me, unlike some people who don't know who they look like." Pei Jin said in a deep voice.

"You... you rebellious son, you actually contradicted me for a bastard!" Pei Yunshan was so angry that he pointed at Pei Jin and cursed, "Believe it or not, I will send that child away, and take that lowly girl with me."

"My Lord, My Lord, why do you have to be angry with Shen Zhi?" Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and smiled secretly as she watched the father and son quarrel. Although her son was dissatisfied with his father, he always showed respect to him on the surface. Unlike today, he actually made indirect accusations against his father.

She hugged An'er and said solemnly, "An'er is a lucky little boy, so grandma will not send you away. My Lord, Chanyi is also a lucky little boy. They are both Shenzhi's lucky boys. At that time, Shenzhi's whereabouts were unknown, and Chanyi suddenly found out that she was pregnant. She kept telling me that Shenzhi would definitely come back. My Lord, you were not at home, and it was because of our mutual support that we managed to get through this."

Madam Wang sighed, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and continued, "More than half a year passed, and there was still no news from Shenzhi. When the Crown Prince and His Majesty learned that Chanyi was pregnant with Shenzhi's child, they immediately summoned us to the palace and promised us that if Shenzhi really died, and the only child in Chanyi's belly was a boy, he would be the heir of the Yong'an Marquisate."

After hearing this, Pei Yunshan hung his head, thinking back to the last time he went to the palace to meet the emperor for the position of crown prince, but the emperor didn't even give him any face, and scolded him for not caring about the life and death of the legitimate son and only thinking about letting the illegitimate son take the throne, bringing shame to his old face.

"Our An'er is the lucky star, grandma's little lucky star." Mrs. Wang smiled and touched An'er's little round head.

"Oh, ah, ah..." Little An tilted his head and listened to his grandmother curiously.

"My Lord, you don't know that Chan Yi is weak and sickly. She risked her life to give birth to this child. If she hadn't gotten pregnant with An'er, I would have died long ago. From now on, if anyone mentions sending An'er and Chan Yi away again, I will..." Madam Wang narrowed her eyes and glanced at the people in the hall, her eyes gradually turning cold, "Then send Shen Zhi and I away together."

Pei Jin listened to his mother's tearful words and couldn't help but hug Chan Yi tighter.

Su Chanyi had never thought that Madam Wang would protect them like this, and she felt somewhat grateful. She had taken her in, provided her with food and clothing, and was willing to seek medical advice when she knew she was ill. She was her benefactor, and she would definitely miss her after she passed away.

"Madam," she knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Madam, you have been so kind to Chanyi, and Chanyi will always remember it in her heart."

"Get up, little girl, you are going to make me sad again." Madam Wang said angrily, "Shenzhi, help her up quickly."

"Mah mah mah..." When Xiao An'er heard Su Chanyi's voice, he waved his hands happily and was about to rush over.

"Good boy, grandma will hug you." Mrs. Wang smiled and comforted the baby in her arms, "Our An'er is the smartest."

Pei Yunshan sat there for a while, speechless.

Pei Yun hid behind Pei Xun and Pei Qian and dared not say anything more.

Liu Wan'er saw that things were not going well, and immediately knelt down with a plop, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and said timidly: "My Lord, Madam, it's all because I was away for a few years. I didn't discipline Yun'er enough, so she spoke without restraint. I beg my Lord and Madam to punish me.

This kneeling posture, this expression, this tone, this intonation, everything is really perfect, what a white lotus, worthy of being the ancestor of little white flowers, a poor scholar's concubine's daughter can get

The gap between her and me was as high as Mount Everest. Chan Yi could already hear the distressed gasps of the Marquis. All men were fooled by this, and she had to learn from it. Even the smartest and calmest men would be confused and lose their sense of proportion when they met this kind of woman.

Pei Xun and the others also knelt down. If someone came in at this time, they would definitely think that this was the legitimate wife and legitimate son suppressing the concubine and illegitimate son. It was really funny. Fortunately, the marquis had few wives and concubines. The other two old concubines were older than him. They were his former concubines. They were old and ugly, and they were no longer worth looking at.

Sure enough, Pei Yunshan cleared his throat and said, "Madam, Wan'er has no credit but has worked hard. She is weak, so why not..."

"Madam Liu, what are you doing? Madam Zhang, please help her up quickly. She was fine, but she has been upset again. Shenzhi, please ask the nanny to come into the house as soon as possible so that she can teach Yun'er more." Madam Wang said calmly. She had seen many scenes like this in previous years, and now she would never get angry after watching them. It was not worth it.

She stood up holding the baby, raised her chin and said, "Get well soon. I thought you were all back, so I was planning to hold a lotus viewing banquet in the mansion for Shen Zhi to see. I think Xun'er and Qian'er are grown up, and Yun'er is time to bring her out for social events. Maybe someone will come to see her, too."

"Yes, madam, I understand. I am all thanks to you. If they can find a good home, I will be willing to work like a slave for you." Aunt Liu stood up tremblingly with the help of Madam Zhang, and she seemed to be even weaker.

Pei Jin obviously couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed Chan Yi's fingers hidden in her sleeves and played with them, and said softly, "Will you take me out?"

"Shenzhi, you go to the palace first. Chanyi, you send the prince out." Mrs. Wang's eyes were sharp and she had already seen through her son's impatience.

Chan Yi was still thinking about the Lotus Banquet. If things went on like this, and the candidate for the Crown Prince's wife was decided, Pei Jin's wedding day would be near, and she would be able to escape smoothly.

"Father, mother, then your son will go to the palace." Pei Jin bowed and said goodbye, then dragged Chan Yi's hand and walked out of the house.
