Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 999

Yun Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay. Come here, baby, let your mother give you a hug."

The three little ones became even more clingy when they were sick.

"Mother."

She obediently came over and leaned against her, touching the baby in her belly.

"Little sister, be a good girl."

Yun Xiyue laughed and asked, "How did you know it was a little sister?"

"That's what Father said," Xiao Bao answered first.

"Yes, I think she's my younger sister too."

Da Bao and Er Bao nodded in unison. Da Bao took the colorful rattle drum, meaning he wanted to give it to his younger sister to play with.

Erbao took his favorite candied hawthorn.

Xiao Bao also took some food.

They were not yet one year old, so they drew lots to determine their birth.

Murong Yu felt it was a pity, so he decided to hold one.

On this day, Pei Fang happened to return, bringing with her a child—the same child that Mo Ye had swapped with Xiao Bao.

After Cui Yan took it back, he didn't throw it away, but handed it over to Pei Fang, saying that it was her child. At first, Pei Fang was unwilling, but as a dependent, she had no choice.

The child is now the same age as Xiaobao.

Yunxi Yue felt a pang of pity for the child who had taken the blame for Xiaobao. "What's your name?"

Pei Fang has changed a lot; she is no longer as sharp and sarcastic as before.

Seemingly having come to terms with the facts, her brother repeatedly warned her upon her return, forbidding her from causing trouble and especially from offending Yun Xiyue.

Looking at Yun Xiyue's belly, Pei Fang's eyes stung with tears. "She doesn't have a name."

"I call him Chronicle."

It means to commemorate; she wants to commemorate the past.

I also want to commemorate my feelings for my cousin.

"A good name. From now on, you shall have the surname Pei!" Murong Yu said.

Pei Fang looked up at him with teary eyes and said, "Cousin, he's not my son. Cui Yan brought him back from somewhere, and he said he was the Empress's child."

Everyone was surprised.

Pei Shang immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Fangfang's meaning is that Cui Yan brought this child back from outside and lied that he was the little prince. At that time, he and Mo Ye conspired to kidnap the Empress and the little prince."

After he explained for a few minutes, everyone suddenly understood.

"I don't know..." Pei Fang's face was pale, and she looked at Murong Yu with some fear.

She has indeed changed a lot.

Murong Yu was too lazy to argue with her. "Since you're back, sit down! If you don't want to raise the child, then leave it to us."

"I adopted him as my godson, and he will follow the three princes from now on."

They knew this child was protecting the young prince from disaster.

No one thought this was abrupt; on the contrary, they felt that the emperor was being merciful.

Pei Fang dislikes this child; in fact, she'd love for him.

Yun Xiyue liked it very much. "Niannian, come here quickly and call your father and mother."

The child was timid and shy, clinging to Pei Fang. He felt that Pei Fang was his mother, and held onto her hand tightly, calling out, "Mother..."

“Jinian, you weren’t born to me. I’m not your mother. From now on, she’s your mother.” Pei Fang pushed him away cruelly.

Ji Nian stumbled and fell to the ground.

Murong Yu quickly picked him up. The child was very thin, unlike Xiao Bao and the others. He was pale and emaciated, and had injuries on his body.

He glared at Pei Fang with displeasure when he saw the pinch marks on the child's hands.

You're still so vicious!

Pei Fang burst into tears, "I didn't want this to happen either. But cousin, have you considered my situation? I'm suddenly carrying another child, and now that I'm married into the Cui family, everyone will despise me. Waaah..."

The two years she spent in the Cui family of Dongling Kingdom were simply a living hell.

Unable to vent her anger, and unable to kill the child, she could only resort to violence in her rage!
