The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

Hear her words.

The old Marquis and his wife's faces turned very ugly.

"It seems the Taoist priest was right, that child is indeed a demon." The old lady said angrily. "It's all the third son's fault. Why did he pick up a wild child and put him on the family register? Now we're in big trouble."

"At worst, we can just remove her from the family register and pretend we never adopted this child," the old Marquis said. "The problem now is, what if the princess blames us for this? The Imperial Concubine is not someone to be trifled with."

Upon hearing that Yu Ningyao's clan would be exterminated, Cui Ruixin secretly felt smug.

They were exterminated from the clan and could never return.

Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with anxiety.

They all thought that the Taoist priest was strange, and that Yu Ningyao must have been wronged.

“Father, Mother, Yaoyao is definitely not some kind of evil spirit…” Yu Kangjing wanted to speak up for his daughter.

Shen Jinzhu tugged at his sleeve and shook her head at him.

My in-laws won't listen to this kind of talk anymore.

Sure enough, before he could finish speaking, the old marquis was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him.

"You still dare to say that? If it weren't for your meddling and picking up children randomly, how could the Marquis's mansion have offended the princess and the Imperial Concubine?"

"No, we must go to the clan elders now and remove that child from the clan as soon as possible."

After the old lord finished speaking, he was about to get up when Shen Jinzhu stood up.

"Father, we must not rush this matter, after all, there is still no news from the princess."

Cui Ruixin said, "By the time we get news from the princess, it will probably be too late. Third sister-in-law, we should first make a statement and show our remorse."

“Last time we thought Yaoyao was a demon and sent her away, but the princess didn’t believe us and insisted on bringing her back to the princess’s residence. So I think we can wait a bit longer. What if the princess still believes Yaoyao this time and we expel the child from the clan again…” Shen Jinzhu sighed.

The old marquis frowned, feeling that what she said made some sense.

Cui Ruixin crumpled the handkerchief in her hand into a ball.

Damn, we almost succeeded.

Shen Jinzhu then persuaded her father-in-law to stay calm.

"How about we send our daughter-in-law to the princess's residence to sound out Princess Ning Le's opinion?" Shen Jinzhu tentatively suggested.

"Alright, go take a look and then make a decision when you get back." The old Marquis nodded in agreement.

Cui Ruixin quickly chimed in, "Why don't I go with my third sister-in-law? It would be better if she went alone and felt uncomfortable."

“As the mistress of the Marquis’s mansion, you should go along. Otherwise, the Princess’s mansion will say that we are being negligent and don’t know the rules.” The old lady glanced at Shen Jinzhu.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Shen Jinzhu's face.

She understood the unspoken meaning in her mother-in-law's words.

They felt that her low status meant that going to the princess's residence alone was a disgrace to the Marquis's family.

"Third sister-in-law, you don't need to worry with your sister-in-law by your side." Cui Ruixin affectionately took Shen Jinzhu's hand.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Shen Jinzhu smiled faintly.

After sending an invitation to the princess's residence.

The princess's residence replied that they should go again tomorrow.

Shen Jinzhu returned to her courtyard and ordered her servants to pack her things quickly, as she wanted to take more to her daughter the next day.

"I wonder how Yaoyao is doing now. Is she getting used to living in the princess's mansion? Is she eating well? Does she miss her mother?" She said, wiping away tears.

Children are forgetful.

Maybe if we meet again tomorrow, I won't even remember who she is.

"Don't be sad, Madam. Our precious baby is smart and sensible, he will naturally miss us," Yu Kangjing quickly comforted her.

Shen Jinzhu nestled in her husband's arms, choking back tears, "Sigh, I should have known better than to bring her home. Now that I've brought her home, I can't protect her."

Yu Kangjing: "Madam, please don't say such things. If we don't bring her home, are we going to let her continue to suffer in that kind of house?"

"That's true." Shen Jinzhu sighed, feeling guilty towards Yu Ningyao. She asked the servants to pack out the new clothes, shoes, toys, and milk cakes that Yu Ningyao had made, planning to take them over tomorrow.

This sorting resulted in the creation of a large carriage.

The next day, when Cui Ruixin set off for the princess's residence, she was so angry at seeing so many good things that she almost ground her teeth to powder.

She forced a smile: "Third sister-in-law, we're just going to visit the sick princess. It's probably inappropriate to bring so many children's things."

Shen Jinzhu: "I've also prepared things for the princess, so they won't conflict with Yaoyao's things."

“But if you bring so much, won’t the princess think you look down on her? That she can’t take good care of Ningyao?” Cui Ruixin kept saying that she didn’t want Shen Jinzhu to send the good things to Yu Ningyao.

That wild girl, who could be kicked out of the family tree at any moment, doesn't deserve such good things.

After she said that, Shen Jinzhu hesitated.

But his love for his daughter prevailed.

"Take it over first. If the princess minds, then move less."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Cui Ruixin could only hold her breath and set off.

They soon arrived at the princess's residence.

When they saw Princess Ning Le, the two of them were startled.

In just two days, the princess had become so thin.

Her eyes and brows were full of exhaustion, her once round cheeks were sunken, and she looked like a willow branch that could be broken by the wind at any moment.

"Mother." As soon as Yu Ningyao saw Shen Jinzhu, she immediately rushed into her arms.

"Oh, Mother's here." Shen Jinzhu's eyes welled up with tears, which rolled down her cheeks.

Upon seeing this, Princess Ning Le subconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

She had been looking forward to this moment for many years.

But now, she doesn't want it anymore.

The child was born without a father.

If he looked like Lan Zhizhang, she would probably resent him.

But she also longed to hear her child call her "Mother".

"I'm taking the child away, which has delayed your reunion." Princess Ning Le pulled herself out of her thoughts and looked at Shen Jinzhu.

"Princess, please don't say that. If it weren't for you, this child would probably have been sent away." Shen Jinzhu wiped away her tears and quickly replied.

"The princess is our family's benefactor."

Princess Ning Le forced a smile and said calmly, "Some things have come up on my end, and I'm afraid I'm unable to take care of this child. If you miss the child, you can take her back to your residence."

Upon hearing this, Cui Ruixin assumed that Princess Ning Le disliked Yu Ningyao, and immediately said, "Yes, we will take her away immediately, so as not to delay your recovery."

“But my father and mother don’t agree to bring Yaoyao home…” Shen Jinzhu blurted out.

"This is a family matter. Let's discuss it when we get back to the manor." Cui Ruixin gave her a look, signaling her not to say anything more.

Princess Ning Le recalled the rumors she had heard yesterday.

She frowned.

She looked at the palace maid beside her and said, "Chuixue, take Lady Jing'an to stroll in the garden. I have something I'd like to discuss with Lady Yu."

Cui Rui became anxious.

She didn't want Princess Ning Le and Shen Jinzhu to be alone together.

But since Princess Ning Le had already said so, she couldn't shamelessly stay.

She could only whisper a reminder when passing by Shen Jinzhu: "Third sister-in-law, remember, don't say the wrong thing and implicate our entire Marquis's mansion."

Shen Jinzhu pursed her lips and nodded.

After she left, Princess Ning Le looked at Shen Jinzhu.

"But what new rumors have surfaced outside?"
