Lin Wan'er had finished cleaning up and was sitting in a chair in a daze. When she saw Lu Ze and Lu Yuan trotting in, her eyes immediately turned red.

Without saying a word, Lu Ze and Lu Yuan immediately knelt down, hugged Lin Wan'er's legs and started crying, as if they had suffered a great injustice.

Lin Wan'er tried to hold back, but couldn't help it. She bent down, hugged their shoulders and cried along with them.

The mother and her two children hugged each other and cried for a long time.

Nanny Li, who had followed quietly, felt relieved when she saw them like this. She immediately called a maid to report to the old lady, while she continued to hide behind the door and watch.

The old lady was very satisfied. "Children are always my weak spot. As long as she still cares about Lu Ze and Lu Yuan, let alone the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, even if she is the emperor's princess, she will still be humble in front of me."

Having said that, she turned around and glared at Lu Jingting fiercely. If Xiao Yunxi also had a child, how could she leave so decisively?

Lu Jingting pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly and avoided the old lady's sight.

The old prince stroked his beard a few times and said, "Old Marquis Wu'an has been bedridden for many years, but he still continues to look for a child who has been lost for more than ten or twenty years. This shows that he cares about this child in his heart.

Marquis Wu'an is a very filial son, and I think even if he is unwilling, he will go along with the old marquis and compensate this legitimate daughter more."

The old lady smiled, "That's true. But she is your grandson's concubine now. Given your 'deeply evil fate', would she be willing to do that?"

"If I hadn't rescued her back then, their precious daughter would have been reduced to prostitution and slept with thousands of men. Just for this, we can even out our grudges.

Furthermore, our Zhennan Palace is higher in title than Wu'an Marquis Palace, but we just don't have their holy favor.

Lin Wan'er was a maid, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for Jing Ting. Now she is pregnant with another one, what can they do?"

The old lady said worriedly: "What if they just don't recognize it?"

Although both parties were willing and the incident was suppressed, the old prince still ruined someone else's daughter. The Marquis of Wu'an would rather die than let Lin Wan'er continue to be with Jing Ting.

Either recognize Lin Wan'er and take her alone;

Either he denies Lin Wan'er or he would rather die than acknowledge her.

The old prince snorted coldly, "Then let's blow the whistle. For the sake of the noble lady Kang in the palace, they dare not be ignorant!"

Lu Jingting stood aside and sighed in his heart.

Why think so far ahead when there is nothing even started?

"Jingting," she glanced in the direction of the old lady's room, "Go and bring the mother and her two children over here, and be friendly."

Lu Jingting didn't respond and left silently.

After a while, Lin Wan'er came in, holding one of their hands in each, following behind Lu Jingting.

After several life-and-death experiences, she returned to the Zhennan Palace. She had long lost her previous ambitions and became extremely weak. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed obediently, "I am Lin, the concubine, and I greet the old prince and the old lady."

Lu Ze and Lu Yuan also knelt down beside her, keeping their heads down.

The old lady changed her usual coldness and became very gentle, "You are just getting better, and you are pregnant, so get up and sit down to talk."

Lin Wan'er immediately raised her head in panic, "I dare not, I am not qualified."

It seems that what Ze Geer said just now is probably true. The old lady and the others should already know who their biological parents are...

"It's okay, get up and sit down."

Lin Wan'er didn't dare to refuse again, so she took Lu Ze and Lu Yuan's hands and sat down carefully.

Seeing her look of paranoia, the old lady could only smile more gently and asked softly, "I heard from Jingting that you have a Hetian jade pendant that you always wear. Bring it to me to see."

Jade pendant?

Lin Wan'er bit her lip and whispered, "When I went to the farm, two old women snatched it away and pawned it."

The old lady's eyes widened. "Pawned it? Where did you pawn it?!"

"I don't know..."

"Madame Li, go and bring me the maid who sent her there that day!"

"Wait a minute," the old prince raised his hand to stop him, "Don't be in a hurry."

He looked at Lin Wan'er, "Do you still remember your parents?"

Lin Wan'er was extremely nervous, and Lu Ze grabbed her hand forcefully.

"I vaguely remember it. It seems like I was in a large courtyard in the capital. There were many servants at home... and I played with my sisters."

Lin Wan'er didn't remember so much, she was just afraid of missing this opportunity. She thought she would die of old age and illness on the farm, but she didn't expect that Li Ma would take her back.

If it is true as Ze Ge'er guessed, his parents must be of noble birth.

Didn’t the old prince say at the beginning that he spared her life again and again for the sake of her mother?

Lu Jingting glanced at Lin Wan'er with a complicated expression, pursed his lips, and said, "Grandma, she is just getting better, let her go back and rest first."

The old lady nodded and said, "Madame Li, please take Aunt Lin and the young master and young lady downstairs first, and ask the kitchen to make some snacks and send them over."

Nanny Li smiled and walked over to Lin Wan'er, "Madam Lin, please follow me."

After Nanny Li took the mother and her two daughters out, she closed the door.

"That jade pendant must be found!"

The old lady looked at Lu Jingting and said, "You should have seen what the jade pendant looks like. Take the old woman who escorted you that day to the pawnshop and get it back no matter how much money it costs!"

Lu Jingting recalled that Lin Wan'er had treasured the jade pendant very much and had always kept it carefully, and he had only seen it two or three times.

"Grandmother, will the Wu'an Marquisate really recognize Lin Wan'er?"

The old lady took a sip of hot tea and said, "Nine out of ten."

The old prince also nodded and said, "They can't and dare not deny it."

The Wu'an Marquisate would definitely find a way to force him to make Lin Wan'er their legal wife!

By then, wouldn't it be even more impossible for him and Xiao Yunxi to reconcile?

As soon as the old lady saw Lu Jingting's expression, she knew what he was thinking, "As long as Xiao Yunxi is the Princess of Dali, there is no chance for you!

Find a way to prove Lin Wan'er's identity, and when you return to the court, you may be able to see her once or twice again."

Lu Jingting's expression darkened. He had never seen Xiao Yunxi again since she left.

"Besides the title of Third Master of Zhennan Palace, do you have any other identity that you can show off?

People always strive for higher positions. If you can use the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion to become the emperor's confidant and gain a more stable position..."

Yes, if they become the emperor’s confidants like Xiao Yunxi...then do they still have a chance!

The old prince waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much about it, go and redeem the jade pendant first!

This is your last chance. If you miss it, I will call Jingxian back and you will never be able to make a breakthrough again!"
