I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

She looked at Ling Jiawei, shook her head, and smiled bitterly.

"So, I wasn't an orphan after all. There must have been a reason why my parents abandoned me back then!"

Ling Jiawei quickly comforted him:

"Yes, when I found you, your swaddling clothes and the fabric were very new and of good quality. Unfortunately, my mother ruined them. No one was willing to buy these two bells at the pawn shop, so I kept them. I guess it's a blessing from God!"

Lan Zhi held the bell up to her eyes again and shook it. Listening to the melodious sound, a perfect smile curved her lips.

"Brother, tell me, who are my father and mother? Why did they abandon me back then?"

Ling Jiawei sighed and shook his head, saying:

"They probably have some unspeakable difficulties!"

"Ha! It's probably because I'm a girl!"

She laughed self-deprecatingly, then looked up at Ling Jiawei.

"Brother, don't worry, I can only win this match, I will never lose."

As she spoke, she hung the pair of silver bells around her waist, seemingly talking to herself.

"I want my biological parents to see that the girl they abandoned back then has survived and is doing very well."

Although she sounded very confident, Ling Jiawei still breathed a sigh of relief with worry.

"Lan Zhi, if we cause you any trouble, just say so. Don't let people think your family is just freeloading off the Crown Prince's residence..."

"Brother, that's not how it works. Each of you has your value in the Crown Prince's residence. After the competition tomorrow, if I can stay in the Crown Prince's residence, you all have to stay. If I really lose, you won't be able to stay even if you want to."

"Hey, I watched you grow up. I know best what you're good at. What do you have to compare with others?"

"I know medicine, you know that?"

Ling Jiawei paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"I really don't know, and I can't figure out how you cured the Crown Prince. Ever since I met you in the capital, you seem different from before, but I can't quite put my finger on what's different."

Lan Zhi smiled and replied in a clear, crisp voice:

"I am blessed by God; I can do things I couldn't do before."

"But even if you win the competition, with your current status, becoming the Crown Princess won't be easy. Consort Liang will still try every possible way to make things difficult for you. I'm really afraid... I'm really afraid that your life will be hard in the future!"

As Ling Jiawei spoke, his face grew increasingly grim, and he became completely lifeless.

Lan Zhi shrugged and smiled calmly.

"Brother, I know my own path. You go ahead and get busy. Once this is over, I'll find you a wife so you won't have to overthink things all the time."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiawei's face immediately turned red.

"I...I didn't mean that. I was worried...worried about you."

"I know you're worried about me, but don't worry, I'm fine."

How could she not know how much her older brother cared for her?

From childhood to adulthood, no matter what happened, the only person who cared about her was her eldest brother.

She couldn't help but think to herself that if she could really become the Crown Princess, she would definitely find a gentle and virtuous woman to be her brother's wife, so that he could live a happy and fulfilling life.

"Miss……"

Ah Qi's voice came from outside. She and Ling Jiawei looked towards the door, and Ah Qi came running in, stumbling and scrambling.

"Quickly, go check the front yard."

Upon hearing this, Lan Zhi jumped up from her chair, her heart leaping into her throat.

"What happened?"

Ah Qi didn't have time to explain and simply pointed to the door.

"Go quickly, you'll find out soon enough."

Seeing that Ah Qi was too anxious to speak, Lan Zhi didn't dare to think too much and rushed out the door. Ling Jiawei was also frightened and turned pale. He followed her straight to the main hall.

Too many things have happened at the Crown Prince's residence recently. Ling Jiawei is afraid that someone will make things difficult for Lan Zhi again. Lan Zhi is also afraid that something might happen to Wei Jianning.

But when she ran to the main hall, she was stunned by what she saw.

She had seen this scene before when she first entered the Crown Prince's residence, and now it was happening again.

Dozens of maids stood in a row, each holding countless brightly colored, breathtakingly beautiful long dresses, as well as exquisite pieces of jewelry...

"This……"

She pointed at the dresses, about to ask a question, when Wei Jianning suddenly appeared behind her and hugged her from behind, completely disregarding the servants present.

Seeing this, Ling Jiawei scratched his head awkwardly and quietly slipped out.

All the maids lowered their heads, not daring to look at them again.

He rested his chin on the top of her head and whispered behind her:

"My wife, tomorrow you will be going to fight in this silent war for me. I don't know how to help you, so I can only prepare these for you. You can choose what you like to wear."

"Did you bring all the clothing stores in the capital back here?"

"As long as you're happy, I'll pluck the stars from the sky for you."

She smiled, turned around and hugged him, affectionately reminding him...

"There are so many clothes, how can I wear them all by myself? You're not allowed to buy any more."

He held her head in his arms, looking at her with eyes full of love.

"I want you to be a beautiful woman, so that you will outshine everyone when you appear tomorrow. I want them to know how outstanding my wife is."

Looking into his sincere eyes, she couldn't help but tiptoe and lightly touch his lips with her red lips.

"I will win this position back so that I can be with you forever, believe me."

He nodded heavily.

"Yes, I've already made up my mind. As long as you win this time, I will turn against anyone who dares to oppose you becoming the Crown Princess, even if it costs me my life."

After saying that, he took her hand and led her to the rows of gorgeous clothes.

"All of this is yours. Pick one you like, and have the rest delivered to your dressing room."

She named the walk-in closet herself because he had given her so many clothes that there was no room in her room. So she ordered someone to clean out the side room closest to her room and turn it into her walk-in closet.

She glanced around, her gaze finally settling on a grass-green long dress.

"Wear this tomorrow. Put it back in my room. Put the rest in the walk-in closet."

"Yes."

After all the maids nodded in agreement, they withdrew one by one.

Lan Zhi then turned to look at Wei Jianning.

"I haven't had a chance to explain Nana's situation to you yet. You're not angry with me, are you?"

Wei Jianning immediately shook his head.

"I heard about Nana from Nie Yuan. She's quite pitiful, so it's only natural that you took her in. How could I blame you?"

Seeing that his expression was calm, she smiled with relief.

“I used to raise only Mao Mao, but now I have to raise Nana. Tomorrow, she will also lose her memory and call me ‘sister’ all day long. I only had my eldest brother as a relative before, but now I have three more. This is really a cruel twist of fate.”

"Would you like to have another child who calls you 'Mother'?"

Between words, he breathed warm air into her ear and whispered something softly.

Let's have a baby!
