Mother Zhou looked at the silent prince and felt a little panicked. She wanted to say a few good words to help Chan Yi, but was afraid that it would backfire.

She turned around and saw a slender figure walking into the open main house, holding a baby in her arms.

"Prince." Su Chanyi lowered her head and greeted softly, half-kneeling on the mat in front of him.

Pei Jin raised his eyes and saw her black hair and the white neck exposed by her plain collar. Then he looked down and met a pair of clear black eyes.

"Ah ah..." The little baby blew a bubble at him.

"Let me do it." Mother Zhou stepped forward and stretched out her hands, wanting to take the child away.

An'er was a little unhappy, and he grabbed his mother's collar with one hand. The little baby was very strong, and he pulled Su Chan's collar open in one go. He frowned, opened his little mouth, and cried "wow".

Su Chanyi hurriedly pulled up her collar and coaxed, "An'er, be good, don't cry, don't cry, mother will hug you, mother will hug you, this is your father, your father."

Pei Jin felt something strange when he saw her coaxing the baby softly, calling him "good boy" and "mother" and "daddy".

He actually had a little child in this world who was related to him by blood. What a miraculous thing it was. But this child was born from the belly of this beautiful little girl in front of him, so he was destined to never receive the honor and favor of this family in this life.

He slowly tightened his outstretched hand, feeling a little sorry for the child. His biological mother was illiterate, a concubine with no manners, and how could she teach him well in the future?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown and stood up impatiently.

Su Chanyi watched him stand up, as if she had lost her mind all of a sudden. She looked at Mother Zhou blankly, pretending to be unwilling to give up and tugged at the corner of Pei Jin's robe, crying and saying, "My Lord, please hug An'er. He is your baby. Look, he looks so much like you. This is the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to for you with great effort. My Lord, you can't abandon us."

She kept talking, her eyes full of tears, and she kowtowed repeatedly while holding An'er, whose face was red from crying: "My Lord, my Lord, Madam has promised me that she will give me the position of a concubine in the future. Please don't abandon us, my Lord."

Pei Jin glanced at the mother and son who were kneeling on the ground crying, and felt as if he was dreaming.

Veins on his forehead throbbed, and he wanted to hold the baby crying purple in her arms, but he didn't know how to hold such a small meat ball. And this woman who was holding the corner of his robe, why was she crying, but why did her cry make his heart tremble slightly.

He suddenly became more and more irritated, not knowing how to deal with these two people who suddenly appeared in his life and were crying together, so he had to walk out at a loss.

"It's all my fault, ah." Mother Zhou seemed to have suddenly come to her senses, she held her forehead in self-blame, and hurriedly took a few steps to catch up. Oh my god, why is Chan Yi so ignorant, what kind of words are she saying! How can she beg for favor like this?

"Prince, Prince, where are you going?" Mother Zhou called in a low voice.

Pei Jin turned around, his eyes condensed, and after a long silence, he said, "There are many people coming and going in my yard."

He paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked into the depths of the lotus field.

"Let her live in Fangfei Courtyard with her child from now on. You guys can also go over there to take care of it. My garden doesn't need so many people."

"Prince, but this..." Mother Zhou was a little embarrassed.

"I'll tell mother." Pei Jin retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Tell her that she needs to remember who she is in front of the child in the future. If that doesn't work, take the child back to mother."

"Yes, Prince." Mother Zhou agreed in a low voice, feeling a little sad for Chan Yi, but the child was the master and she was just a servant. Aristocratic families were most particular about hierarchy and no one could overstep the line.

After hearing Mother Zhou's agreement, Pei Jin turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Mother Zhou looked at his straight back and shook her head slightly. She felt very sad for An'er. He was so cute and looked like the prince, but who told him that he was now the eldest son of a concubine, and he was born before the mistress entered the family. He was afraid that he would never get even a little love from his father in this life. And Chan Yi, oh!

Su Chanyi stood outside the main house holding An'er, who had been coaxed into submission. The draft blew up her white dress, swaying like a white lotus quietly blooming in a deserted place, isolated and aloof from the world.

"Chan Yi, the prince just went out for something." Mother Zhou said with a smile.

"Mom, don't lie to me. He definitely doesn't like An'er." Su Chanyi said softly, "Yes, An'er's birth was a mistake. Mom, I just can't figure it out. I clearly drank a big bowl of contraceptive soup that day. Could it be that the medicine is useless?"

"Chan Yi, don't say that again. Our young master is blessed." Mother Zhou consoled her, with some embarrassment on her face. She knew that Chan Yi had always thought that what she drank that day was contraceptive soup. How could she know that it was just an ordinary health-preserving soup.

"Mom, since the prince doesn't like the two of us, why don't we mother and son ask to live in the woodshed at the back." Su Chanyi said in a hoarse voice, tears in her eyes.

She looked sad, but in fact she was very happy in her heart. It was a good thing that the prince didn't like An'er and her, so that they would have the opportunity to leave the mansion and run away, and An'er's secret would not be discovered by others. But now was not the time to be happy, there were still many things to do. She had to avoid his eyes and ears first, so that she could have room to play.

"Chan Yi, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Although the young master is your daughter, he is the master after all, and there is a difference between master and servant. You must know that he can't call you mother in the future, so you must remember this. Besides, what did you just say? How can a master live in the woodshed? If the lady finds out, she will take the young master away." Mother Zhou frowned slightly, and suddenly felt a little surprised that the young lady, who was usually clear-headed, was now talking incoherently.

"Mom, my mind is confused. You are absolutely right. I was confused. Thank you for your advice." Su Chanyi hurriedly hugged the child, secretly wiped away her tears, and forced a smile at Mother Zhou.

"How about this, the prince always likes quietness and is not used to having so many people in his courtyard. You go down and pack up, and I will take you to move to Fangfei Courtyard this afternoon. It is quiet and cool over there, and it is also close to the main courtyard and Zhuxiang Garden." Mother Zhou sighed softly, "You should also plan for yourself early, while the prince has not yet got married..."
