Lin Ran let out a light breath, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying, "I believe what you say, but the matter of Wanwan's biological father is really a thorn in my heart. I'm very afraid that he will have a terrible identity!"
Zhan Yan spoke up, "No matter how bad he is, can he be as bad as Xie Qian? Uncle, don't worry too much. He is him, and Wanwan is Wanwan. We are here to protect them, mother and daughter. No one can use this as a handle to hurt them!"
Lin Ran nodded: "You're right, I was too anxious!"
He had finally found his elder sister, and he didn't want her to spend the rest of her life being questioned by others.
Besides, since she is still alive in this world, she can't just stay in the backyard and not go out to see anyone, right?
After all, if the matter is not investigated thoroughly, the mother and daughter will surely have no peace for the rest of their lives.
Zhan Yan asked in a low voice: "Uncle, I heard that the only evidence now is the jade pendant. Can you let me see it?"
Lin Ran did not hesitate and directly handed the jade pendant that he had carefully hidden in his sleeve to Zhan Yan.
He spoke in a complicated tone, "The jade pendant looks like a fine item, and this kind of top-grade white jade can only be worn by members of the royal family. If I'm not mistaken, the person's identity must be extraordinary!"
Zhan Yan looked up at the jade pendant and felt it was unusually familiar.
After a moment, his pupils contracted violently, and the fingers holding the jade pendant suddenly clenched tightly subconsciously.
Lin Ran was shocked. He was really afraid that Zhan Yan would crush this only piece of evidence.
He anxiously reminded: "Zhan Yan, what do you want to do? If the jade pendant is damaged, it will be bad. Don't grab it with such great strength!"
Zhan Yan took a quick breath and said, "Uncle, I've seen a similar jade pendant. It was on the emperor's desk!"
Hearing this, Lin Ran almost fell headfirst to the ground.
What? Your Majesty?
Could he be Wanwan’s biological father?
This, how is this possible!
The ages don't match at all!
Zhan Yan understood Lin Ran's confusion immediately. He quickly explained, "It couldn't possibly be the emperor. When he was young, we were all training in the military camp. But I remember clearly that jade pendant of his. It was given to him by Prince Li. He said it was made in Cangliang Mountain on the border as a birthday present for him!"
Lin Ran also remembered that Prince Li did appear at his elder sister's wedding banquet that year, but he stayed for a relatively short time. It was said that he left in a hurry after getting drunk.
Could it be that Wanwan’s biological father is Prince Li?
This is really unbelievable.
He clenched his fists and said, "Prince Li is far away at the border now, so we must keep this matter a secret to avoid speculation. When you return to the capital, ask the Emperor. If this jade pendant truly belongs to Prince Li, I'm afraid it will be confirmed that Wanwan is his biological daughter!"
Zhan Yan nodded, startled, and said, "I heard that Prince Li never married, let alone had children. He's been stationed at the border for several years and hasn't come to the capital. Could it be that he ran away because of a huge blow?"
Lin Ran understood the reason why he left, but he no longer dared to speculate.
He said in a hoarse voice: "Only those involved can explain the past events clearly. Once we return to the capital, we will be able to find out the clues!"
Zhan Yan didn't have time to worry about it anymore, because Ying Yi was urging the two of them to go out and attend the banquet.
When the two of them came outside, they found that the banquet had been set.
Tang Qizheng said excitedly, "When brothers meet, we must get drunk. Zhan Yan, I'm warning you, don't try to be sly. I know your alcohol tolerance. You won't get drunk without two or three bottles!"
Zhan Yan doesn't dare to drink now, as he is afraid that Wanwan will despise him.
After all, she was pregnant. What if she felt uncomfortable when she smelled the alcohol on him?
He declined, "Brother Tang, I'm afraid we can't drink this wine today. Let's have tea instead!"
Tang Qizheng immediately frowned: "You!"
Before he could finish his words, Lin Yiwan interrupted him and said, "My Lord, it's rare for you to meet Brother Tang again, so just have a few drinks with him. I'm going to accompany Mother tonight, so you don't have to worry about me!"
Zhan Yan finally felt relieved. He punished himself by drinking three cups to stop Tang Qizheng from mocking him for being afraid of his wife.
As night fell, Lin Yiwan accompanied Lin Su back to the room to rest after eating and drinking.
She said softly, "Wanwan, you don't have to accompany me. I can do it on my own. I don't have any messy thoughts in my head anymore. I just feel that I can let go of the past. For the rest of my life, the only ones left in my eyes and heart are you, your uncle, and your grandfather!"
Lin Yiwan thought to herself, No, mother is still young!
She is so beautiful, I don’t believe she won’t have a second spring.
She can't confine herself to the backyard for the rest of her life. She deserves her own love.
After living her life again, she deeply understood that she should follow her heart in everything and not let herself suffer any injustice, because it was not worth it.
She subconsciously said, "Mom, tell me about Prince Li. What kind of man is he?"
Lin Su was stunned. She couldn't understand why her daughter suddenly mentioned King Li.
She said somewhat embarrassedly: "Wanwan, why did you suddenly mention him? I can't remember what he looks like!"
Lin Yiwan's eyes curved as she took her arm. "Then mother, please think about it carefully. I heard that he is the most wise and powerful man in the Sheng Dynasty. He is very charming!"
Lin Su nodded. "You're right. He could shoot arrows at the age of five. He was known as a little archery prodigy. His riding and archery skills were second to none in Beijing. No one dared to claim to be number one. He was truly amazing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she met Lin Yiwan's mischievous eyes.
Her pretty face immediately turned red, and she subconsciously turned around and said, "Wanwan, I'm ignoring you. You've even learned to set a trap for your mother?"
Lin Yiwan grabbed her wrist and coaxed her softly, "Mother, this isn't a trap at all. You clearly remember Prince Li. You even remember him clearly as an archery prodigy when he was little!"
A complex expression suddenly flashed across Lin Su's face. Yes, she just realized that she had not forgotten anything about Li Wang.
She remembered her first encounter with him, including every detail.
She burst out laughing, pointed at the stone bench next to her and said, "Wanwan, sit down. I'll tell you what kind of person Prince Li is!"
Lin Yiwan took a handkerchief and wiped the stone bench clean before helping Lin Su sit down.
She spoke slowly, "Back then, your grandfather and I often went in and out of the palace. One time, I got lost in the huge harem. I was so anxious that I ran madly, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Suddenly, I bumped into Prince Li. He was caught off guard and was knocked flat on his butt!"
Perhaps the scene was so funny that her brows relaxed and her whole face was filled with happiness.
Lin Yiwan couldn't help but stare in a trance, and couldn't help but sigh, "Mom is so beautiful!"
