The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

On the carriage ride back, Jingxue thought of Ye Musi's wedding. Although the Ministry of Rites was in charge of the arrangements, a wedding gift still had to be sent.

"What kind of wedding gift should we give for Prince Rui's wedding?" Jingxue asked.

Ye Muchen was pleased to hear Jingxue ask this question. Since Jingxue didn't care about the household affairs, her question meant that she considered the mansion her own home.

"Xue'er, whatever you want to give me, I'll do as you say!"

Jingxue felt that she was good friends with Qin Jing and Ye Musi, and it was natural to give a wedding gift to a friend, not as a sister-in-law.

"I was just asking, and I'll send mine over together with the others later."

Ye Muchen lowered his eyes, sighing inwardly, realizing he had been overthinking things.

"The housekeeper did all these things; I'll talk to him about it later."

"OK!"

Back at her residence, Jingxue began to think about sending a congratulatory gift. Remembering that Mu Chen hadn't brought any of the items from her own space that night, she took out some shower gel, toothpaste, and other daily necessities and asked Ying Jiu to deliver them to Mingyuan Pavilion.

Seeing this, Ye Muchen felt happy again. His relationship with Jingxue was progressing. His mood fluctuated throughout the day, truly proving the saying, "Love always makes people anxious and insecure!"

The next day, the weather was not cold, and Li Jun arrived neither too early nor too late.

Jingxue had already taken out several balance bikes and a motorcycle, so that Yingjiu and the others could take the four children to play in a spacious area. The children couldn't stay cooped up in the house all the time.

Ye Muchen knew that Jingxue probably wanted to meet Li Jun alone, so he also returned to Mingyuan Pavilion.

After exchanging greetings, Li Jun presented a gift—a wild ginseng. Xiao Man served tea and prepared to attend to him.

"Xiaoman, you can go back to work now! I'll call you if I need anything," Jingxue said.

"Yes, miss!"

Li Jun watched as Jingxue sent the maid away, and he was a little confused as to what important thing his niece had to do.

However, he did not speak up, but simply waited quietly.

After a moment, Jingxue asked, "Uncle, do you have children?"

"Hmm?" Li Jun felt uneasy when he heard Jingxue ask this question.

"Your Highness, why do you ask that?"

Jingxue smiled, but there was no trace of joy in her eyes. "Of course I have a reason for asking this. If my uncle says no, then I'll pretend I never invited you here today!"

Li Jun's mind raced, but there were too many possibilities, and he didn't have time to think about them all. So he replied, "Your Highness, I have children, two children, but they have gone missing."

"Uncle, since you have a child, why don't you marry the child's mother? And why marry a girl from the Sun family?"

“Well, that was my mother’s order, and I couldn’t disobey it. I found the child’s mother on the road. She was injured and had amnesia. She didn’t even remember where she was from. My mother and brother would not let me marry such a woman.”

"Your Highness, do you know something? Have you seen my two children or do you have any news about them? I've been looking for them for a long time." Li Jun's face was full of expectation and anxiety.

"What's your relationship with Sun Hua like?" Jingxue asked.

Speaking of Sun Hua, Li Jun frowned. "It was her family who proposed marriage on my behalf. How should I put it? We've been married for almost three years, but we've spent less than a month together, and I don't really know her."

"The two children are at my house."

"Really?" Li Junteng stood up abruptly, looking around as if the child had been hidden somewhere.

"Uncle, please calm down!"

"Your Highness, how do you know they are my children?" Li Jun sat back down in his chair.

“At first I didn’t know, but later, An’an and Jingze looked so alike that I knew medicine, so I did a kinship test for them and found out they were related to us. Uncle, didn’t you recognize Jingze when you saw him yesterday?” Jingxue said.

Li Jun said somewhat embarrassedly, "I haven't seen Ze'an for two years."

Jingxue rolled her eyes. "Then what are you even looking for? You probably wouldn't recognize that child at a glance if he stood right in front of you."

“I met them on West Street a few months ago. The two children were in a sorry state and had become little beggars. An'an didn’t even know his father’s real name, he only knew that his mother called his father “Yizhi”.

"Also, their mother was burned to death by arson, and those people kidnapped them to sell them. They escaped while the kidnappers were drunk and wandered all the way to the capital."

Li Jun said, "Your Highness, did An'an tell you this?"

Jingxue nodded.

"Who did this? I don't have many friends in business, but I don't think I've ever offended anyone!" Li Jun said sadly.

Looking at him, Jingxue realized that she didn't really understand this uncle. Besides, some people in ancient times had very outdated ideas that couldn't be changed overnight.

“An’an is a very sensible and lovable child, and Yingying is smart and cute. When I took them in, An’an actually knelt down and told me that he would sell himself if I could help him raise his sister. He said he was too weak and afraid he couldn’t protect his sister.”

Upon hearing this, Li Jun lowered his head, and Jing Xue saw that his hands were tightly gripping his robe.

Jingxue told him all this so that it would touch him.

After a while, Jingxue said, "I have found out who is behind the harm done to the mother and her two children."

Li Jun suddenly raised his head, wiped away the tears in his eyes, and asked, "Who is it?"

"Your wife, Sun Hua, hired someone to commit murder."

Li Jun took a deep breath. "It was her!"

"Absolutely true!"

"I called my uncle over today to tell you this. Also, I can't hand An'an and Yingying over to you yet, unless you can settle things at home. Not just Sun Hua, but also Grandma and the others. I can't send the two children into the tiger's den."

"You don't need to say you're taking them out to do business; that seems too unrealistic. Do you expect your two children to travel with you from place to place?"

"You can rest assured that the two children are with me. I will protect them. They have everything that Jingze has. An'an has already entered the academy, and in a few months I will also open a girls' academy, where Yingying will also go. Each of the children will be protected by shadow guards."

"Your Highness, you say Sun Hua did it. Do you have any evidence?" Li Jun asked.

Jingxue narrowed her eyes. "Doesn't your uncle believe me?"

Li Jun quickly waved his hand, "No, no, that's not it. I was thinking that if you have any evidence, you could lend it to me."

"Uncle, you need to think this through. The time you want to settle scores with Sun Hua is also the time when these two children's identities will be exposed. Don't rush, think it over carefully before making a decision."

Jingxue said coldly, "Also, to be frank, I can make Sun Hua disappear without a trace, but if the problem of the two children isn't resolved, even without Sun Hua, your maternal grandmother will still let you marry someone else. Then, will those two children still have any good days?"

Li Jun remained silent.

"So, Uncle, go back and think carefully about how to completely resolve your family's problems!"

"Can I see the two children?" Li Jun asked.
