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

"Your daughter?" The old lady's voice changed in surprise.

When Zhao Zhengyue saw his daughter, whose head had been beaten like a pig's, he was both angry and heartbroken. Without bothering to explain to the old lady, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up, saying, "My poor daughter."

Liu Ying'er was stunned for a moment, then threw herself into his arms and burst into tears: "Father, why did it take you so long to find me? Waaaaah!"

"It's my fault. I've been looking for you all along, but I've only found you now." Zhao Zhengyue couldn't help but tear up when he heard her crying.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone present off guard.

Yu Ningyao was so shocked by this unexpected turn of events that her eyes widened in disbelief.

[System, what's going on now?]

How did Liu Ying'er become the Duke of Ying's daughter?

She eagerly urged the system to investigate.

【Please be patient, I'll go take a look.】

The system was also surprised that a mere concubine's daughter would actually be the daughter of the Duke of England.

Before the system could find anything, Zhao Zhengyue spoke first.

"I was in such a hurry that I rushed in without having a servant announce my arrival. I hope the old lady will understand."

"It's alright, but what exactly happened?" the old lady asked impatiently.

“I married Ying’er’s mother in the countryside when I was young, and she is indeed my biological daughter.” Zhao Zhengyue did not want to explain too much.

“I’ve taken her home first, and my granddaughter too. I won’t cause any trouble for the Marquis’s family.”

After saying this, he ordered his servants to take the child away as well.

The news came as if a boulder had fallen from the sky, leaving everyone dizzy and disoriented. Before they could even react, he had already taken the person away.

Cui Ruixin turned pale with anxiety.

If Liu Ying'er were truly the daughter of the Duke of Ying, she would never be content to be merely a concubine.

She bore three sons and one daughter for the Marquis's family, so the Marquis's family would not divorce her.

The most likely outcome is—

A concubine.

Thinking of this, Cui Ruixin could no longer bear it and fainted on the spot.

The old lady ordered someone to take her back to her room, and then looked anxiously at her eldest son.

"She is the daughter of the Duke of England. Has she ever told you anything about her?"

"I don't know either," Yu Kangping shook his head.

"All I know is that she came to the capital to find her relatives, but she doesn't know who her biological father is either. She only said that her mother gave her a jade pendant and a letter before she died, telling her to come to the capital to slowly find her relatives."

"Never mind, let's see what the Duke of England has to say first." The old lady hadn't expected this either.

The son kept a mistress, and it turned out he had a relationship with the Duke of England.

Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do, Shen Jinzhu took her leave with her daughter.

[Host, we've found it.]

Just as they were about to leave, the system finally uncovered the truth.

Tell me quickly!

Yu Ningyao pricked up her little ears.

When the Duke of England was young, he rebelled, ran away from home, and met Willow Oriole's mother.

Later, the old Duke sent men to find him, forcibly separating the couple and taking him back to the capital.

[He even spent a fortune to obtain a love-forgetting elixir from the Valley of Divine Healers, so that he could forget his past after taking it.]

He had no recollection of ever being married or having children.

[It wasn't until last year, when he fell and injured his head, that he started to have a persistent headache. After seeing a doctor, he finally remembered everything that had happened before.]

He sent people to the countryside to look for her, and after learning that Liu Ying'er's mother had passed away and that Liu Ying'er had come to the capital, he had been searching for her ever since.

Today, I saw Liu Ying'er's maid carrying a jade pendant, searching for someone, and mistakenly thought she was my daughter.

The maid did not impersonate someone else; she told the truth.

After reading the letters, the Duke of England confirmed that Liu Ying'er was indeed his daughter, so he rushed to the Marquis's residence to demand her return.

Yu Ningyao listened intently, nodding her head, and then commented:

What a wonderful and melodramatic show!

……

After Yu Kangjing finished his shift, Shen Jinzhu told him everything that had happened at home.

"This is ridiculous."

Yu Kangjing never expected that after just one day on a business trip, so many dramatic events, even more dramatic than those in a play, would happen at home.

“The Duke of Ying’s daughter and my elder brother are already married and have a daughter. She will probably marry into the Marquis’s family soon. That will likely cause a lot of trouble. Husband, why don’t we separate the family?” Shen Jinzhu blurted out.

Without hesitation, Yu Kangjing replied, "With our elders still alive, the descendants have no right to act on their own. If we were to bring up the division of the family at this time, it would not only disgrace our family but also violate the law, and we would be the subject of gossip."

Shen Jinzhu knew that it was impossible to separate the family now, but she didn't want to get involved with the first wife's family, so she spoke out of her feelings.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a little envious of her second sister-in-law, who could be sent away with her second brother, without having to serve her parents-in-law in the capital or maintain relationships with her sisters-in-law.

Yu Kangjing noticed his wife's worry and quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, no matter what happens at home, I will protect you."

"Mmm." Shen Jinzhu nestled in her husband's arms and nodded gently.

She herself wasn't afraid.

She was just afraid that the infighting in the household would increase and harm her child.

All she wants is for her children to grow up safely and healthily.

……

Liu Ying'er was taken back to the Duke's mansion, and it felt like a dream.

Her biological father was none other than the famous Duke of England.

"That's wonderful, Miss! You've finally found your biological father!" The maid, Peach Blossom, cried tears of joy when she saw her.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Liu Ying'er already knew about today's events from her father.

If Peach Blossom hadn't been on the road with the jade pendant, helping her find her family, her father wouldn't have found her so quickly.

“Now that you are a young lady of the Duke’s mansion, the Marquis will definitely be welcoming you with a grand wedding procession,” Peach Blossom said happily.

Liu Ying'er did not respond.

After witnessing the wealth and power of the Duke's mansion, she began to look down on Yu Kangping.

How could an old man with children, more than ten years her senior, be worthy of her, a young lady from the Duke's mansion?
