The beauty who wears fast has many babies

The banquet ended late at night.

When Xiao Cele left Ma Huai's house, Qin Long reminded him, "Lord Xiao, when the child is born, please don't forget to invite me."

"I will never forget!"

Xiao Cele looked at Qin Long, whose face had turned red from drinking, and spoke seriously.

Qin Long didn't say anything, but raised his glass and gestured in his direction.

Xiao Cele knew that Qin Long must have known that Wu Li was his child. This was clearly a huge accusation against Prince Rong.

At this time, a servant came to report that the lady wanted to see him. Xiao Cele was also preparing to leave the Ma Mansion, so he followed the servant to take the carriage back home.

Seeing Wu Li, Xiao Cele hurried forward to support her, "Why did you come out? Why don't you rest in the room?"

Wu Li smiled and shook his head, "It's too stuffy in there, I want to go out for a walk."

Xiao Cele supported Wu Li as they strolled in the courtyard. "Just now I saw Ma Huai's child in the front hall. He's so cute."

Wu Li touched her belly happily and said, "Our baby is about to be born, but I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

"I like both men and women," Xiao Cele said softly.

Hearing him say this, Wu Lixin thought that when he saw that they were twins, he would probably be very happy.

"By the way, Madam asked the servant to call me over. Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Cele asked.

"I'm not feeling unwell, but I feel a little nervous for some reason today." Wu Li shook his head and said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cele quickly comforted him, "Maybe you're tired today. I'll accompany you to the temple to worship tomorrow."

"Also, Madam, do you know General Qin Long?"

Wu Li nodded. Seeing that he asked about Qin Long, he thought he knew something.

She looked up at Xiao Cele and asked softly, "Why does the prince ask about General Qin? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Xiao Cele's eyes changed slightly. This was fine. He hadn't intended to keep it a secret from her.

"Ali, actually Qin Long is your biological father." Xiao Cele held Wu Li's hand tightly and said solemnly.

After hearing this, Wu Li's face did not show much surprise, but just replied lightly: "I knew it a long time ago."

"When did you know this?" Xiao Cele was very surprised. He thought Wu Li didn't know about this.

"My mother told me before she died." Wu Li lowered his eyes, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Cele gently put his arm around Wu Li's shoulders and said comfortingly, "The dead are gone, and the living should live like this. Madam, you still have me in the future."

Wu Li nodded slightly and leaned into Xiao Cele's arms. "I just didn't expect that he would actually send someone to secretly protect me."

"Perhaps, this is God's will." Xiao Cele stroked Wu Li's hair, feeling full of emotion.

The two of them enjoyed this rare quiet time.

"System, tell me in detail about Qin Long."

Wu Li couldn't help but gossip in his mind.

【10 points! 】

The system is always excited about the opportunity to earn points.

"OK..."

Qin Long and your mother were childhood sweethearts, growing up together and sharing a deep bond. However, fate cruelly tore them apart. The emperor, wary of Qin Long's influence in the military and unwilling to allow him to secure the support of your mother's supporters, decreed that your mother marry Prince Rong, effectively securing her maternal family within the imperial court. Upon learning of this, Qin Long was overcome with grief and indignation, yet powerless to defy the emperor's decree. Ultimately, your mother was forced to marry into Prince Rong's household and become his wife. From then on, Qin Long devoted all his energy to his military career, rising through the ranks to the rank of General of the Cavalry through his distinguished military exploits. Despite this, his longing for your mother never waned. Your mother's life in Prince Rong's household was unhappy, she suffered constant depression and ultimately passed away. Upon learning of your mother's death, Qin Long was devastated. Knowing he could do nothing more for her, he decided to channel his love for her into protecting you. That's why he sent someone to secretly guard you.

"This, so Qin Long is really the original owner's biological father?" Wu Li asked uncertainly.

[Yes, the two of them had already discussed this privately. Qin Long was planning to go to your mother's residence to propose marriage the next day. Unfortunately, the imperial edict arrived first.]

"If you put it that way, they didn't do it on purpose."

"That's not right. How can I be sure that the original owner is Qin Long's child? Maybe it's Prince Rong's."

[Because your mother didn't let Prince Rong touch her on their wedding night, it was only a month later that she discovered she was pregnant with the original owner. To protect the child, she had no choice but to find an excuse to have dinner with Prince Rong and secretly add drugs to the wine. The next day, they pretended to be lying together.]

"My goodness, I didn't expect the original owner's mother, a lady from a wealthy family, to be so bold."

[Yes, she later used the pregnancy as an excuse to keep Prince Rong from touching her, which is why Prince Rong met Madam Liu in a brothel.]

"Could it be that the original owner's mother committed suicide just to prevent Prince Rong from touching her?" The more Wu Li thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

"Not really. After all, she had a child. It was Madam Liu who grew increasingly ambitious after she came into the family, and she drugged the original owner's mother. Her body grew weaker and weaker, and she eventually suffered trauma during childbirth, from which she never recovered. She didn't last long, and ultimately passed away."

"So Qin Long knows all this." Wu Li recalled General Qin Long's reaction before, and she said affirmatively.

[Yes, but you can’t recognize each other.]

"I know this isn't just about Prince Rong being cheated on. If the Emperor knew about this, he would definitely not punish him leniently."

Just when Wu Li was lost in thought, Xiao Xing outside the door broke their peaceful time.

"What's wrong?" Wu Li asked outside the house in confusion.

"It's okay, you take a rest, I'll go take a look." Xiao Ce'an pulled his hand out from behind her, raised his foot and walked out.

Xiao Ce'an came to the door and saw that it was Xiao Rou'er. He frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Rouer said in a coquettish voice, "My Lord, I'm here to look for Sister Wuli."

"She is not feeling well and needs to rest. Let's talk about anything after she gets better." Xiao Ce'an said and was about to close the door.

Xiao Rouer quickly put her hand out to block him, "My Lord, please don't be like this. I just came to ask about what my sister promised me."

"Your business?" Xiao Ce'an frowned, "What do you want to do with Wu Li?"

"Oh, Marquis, you don't know this. My sister promised me before that as long as I help you get the dowry, you will not let me down by marrying into the Marquis' Mansion. Now that the dowry is in hand, of course I came to find my sister to fulfill my promise." Xiao Rouer said shyly, and there was an indescribable charm in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Cele.

Xiao Ce'an couldn't help but feel a surge of anger when he heard this. He glared at Xiao Rou'er and said through gritted teeth, "Who do you think you are?! I never said I wanted to marry you."

Xiao Rou'er didn't take it seriously and laughed instead: "Haha, Lord Marquis, there's no point in being angry. Anyway, everything is settled now, so you should hurry up and call my sister out. My father has already asked the Emperor for permission, so of course I have to tell my sister the good news right away."
