Afraid that Qian Manman would say something even more inappropriate in front of her son-in-law, Su interrupted in a hurry, "Xi Jie'er does look pretty good. Have you been getting along well with your son-in-law these past two days?"
"Thank you, mother and mom, for your concern. I'm doing well in the palace. Mother and father treat me very well. The prince is also very good. In short, everything is fine." Yan Muxi broke free from Qian Manman's restraints and saluted Yan Yongchen and Su.
Before she could stand up, Qian Manman pulled her back and said, "Xijie, you are living well in the palace. I can finally put my worries to rest. Come back to the courtyard with me. I have a lot to ask you!"
Although there was no sign of her daughter's behavior on the surface, Qian Manman was still worried whether she was being bullied. She felt at ease only after asking for details in person.
All the masters and ladies in the mansion were there, so it would be bad to leave without saying hello. Yan Muxi had no choice but to comfort Qian Manman, "Don't worry, mother. It's still early. We have plenty of time to talk to each other."
After saying this, he glanced at his aunt and half sister who were waiting on the side. Just as he was about to ask a few polite questions, he saw a new girl in the house.
The girl was about three or four years old, with her hair in a neat bun, silk clothes and a new gold necklace around her neck. She didn't look like a servant. The strangest thing was that there was a red birthmark the size of a woman's fist on the left side of her face, which covered almost half of her face.
"Where is this little girl from?" Yan Muxi looked at the girl and asked puzzledly.
"This is Sister Rou, and you, Ninth Sister." Qian Manman's face showed obvious guilt.
"Ninth sister? When did I get a ninth sister?" Yan Muxi subconsciously looked at Yan Yongchen.
Yan Yongchen said hesitantly, "Go in first, and I'll let your mother explain it to you in detail later."
After sending everyone back to Manweiyuan, Yan Muxi finally understood where Qian Manman's guilty conscience came from.
The so-called ninth sister was thrown at the gate of the mansion early yesterday morning. She was only carrying a bundle with a letter in it, stating that the girl was Yan Yongchen's daughter who had been wandering outside, and was sent back to Yan's mansion because her biological mother had left.
After discussion, the girl was quickly recognized. The reason was that the girl looked 70% similar to Yan Yongchen. Ignoring the birthmark on her face, she and young Yan Muyun seemed like they were carved from the same mold.
The child is still young and needs someone to take care of him, but the child's biological mother is unknown. It is very likely that the child was born to a prostitute in a brothel. The other wives and concubines were unwilling to raise the child because they were disgusted by it, so Qian Manman took on this task.
In other words, the girl has been registered under Qian Manman's name and has become the ninth daughter of the Minister of Personnel.
"...Just based on the similarity in appearance, you have determined that she is my father's flesh and blood? Don't you need to investigate carefully before making a conclusion? And you, mother, how can you casually acknowledge someone else's child as your daughter? You didn't even ask me, have you ever thought about how I and my grandfather feel?" Yan Muxi questioned Qian Manman angrily.
She had only been married for two days, but her mother had already brought her into big trouble. She just couldn't understand: was the brain really created just to love men?
Qian Manman sat on a low stool, lowering her head and not daring to look at Yan Muxi. When Yan Muxi had almost vented her anger, she pulled the girl over and rolled up her sleeves to show Yan Muxi, "Don't blame us for being careless. Sister Xi, you will know after you have seen it yourself."
The girl was thin and small, with her frail arms exposed. There was a red cinnabar mole at the crook of her arm. The position and size were exactly the same as the red mole Yan Muxi had when she was a child.
Qian Manman sighed, "Your father has a red mole on his arm. Besides you, Xijie, who takes after your father, I heard from Aunt Ge that Yunjie also has an identical red mole on her arm. There are so many coincidences, so there is no need to investigate. Roujie must be your father's flesh and blood, there is no doubt about it."
"Third sister also has a red mole on her arm?" Yan Muxi was full of doubts.
Qian Manman nodded, "Well, what Ge said personally should not be false."
Seeing the fear on the little girl's face, Qian Manman mustered up the courage to look at Yan Muxi, "Rou Jie'er is already five years old, and her body is about the same as a three-year-old child, skinny as a bag of bones. After all, she is your father's flesh and blood, and mother really can't bear it. Xi Jie, just agree to acknowledge Rou Jie'er as your sister!"
Yan Muxi suppressed the doubts in his heart and sneered, "Oh, you have already admitted it, but now you come to ask for my consent, don't you think it's too late?"
As if she was afraid that she would hit the child, Qian Manman subconsciously protected the little one in her arms, "It's not too late, Xijie, it's never too late for you to agree. Mother doesn't want you to be angry."
Yan Muxi couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he flicked his sleeves and strode out of the room.
"Miss, don't get angry and hurt yourself. If you are really upset, just find a way to get the child away from Manwei Garden." Yinxia followed behind and advised.
Yan Muxi comforted Xiaoxiao, "Don't worry, I'm not angry. I'm angry just for show. It just gives me a reason to leave A Niang's yard."
There was a new child in the mansion, and a little girl with flawed appearance. Qian Manman was not someone who could take care of a child. For her, it was just an extra dowry in the future. For Yan Muxi, it had no impact at all. What was there for her to be angry about?
Yinxia sighed in her heart. As soon as her biological daughter left home, her mother raised someone else's daughter.
As an outsider, she felt wronged. How could the lady involved in the incident not have any resentment in her heart?
After coming out of Manwei Garden, Yan Muxi went straight to Yaqing Garden.
Yan Muching was about to enter the Eastern Palace, so the palace sent a nanny to govern her. She spent eight hours out of the twelve hours a day learning the palace rules. Only after Yan Muxi came to the house was Yan Muching allowed to have some free time.
It was inconvenient to talk in the yard, so the two sisters walked into the garden together.
"My second sister looks pretty good. Can I feel less guilty about this?"
Yan Muxi glared at Yan Muqing in annoyance, "You've already done something immoral, and you still feel guilty. Who are you showing it to?"
After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, Yan Muxi lowered her voice and asked, "What's the matter with this Ninth Sister who suddenly appeared? Is this person also in Big Sister's dream?"
"Of course there is. Second sister, don't worry too much. Ninth sister is in trouble. She is very shy and well-behaved. She won't cause any unnecessary trouble."
At this time in her previous life, Yan Muqing had already entered the Eastern Palace. It was only after a long time that Su mentioned it to her and she learned that there was a ninth young lady named Yan Muruo in the mansion.
Yan Murou was raised by Qian's family and was considered a legitimate daughter in name only. However, Yan Murou had a scary birthmark on her face that could not be removed, and she had hardly gone out and socialized with others for more than ten years.
If he hadn't seen her yesterday, Yan Muqing would have had no idea that there was a person named Yan Muruo in the Yan Mansion.
"Ninth sister? Big sister is really quick in recognizing her sister. Big sister, don't you have any doubts about this sister who suddenly appeared?"
Yan Muqing didn't know why Yan Muxi asked this, "Why should there be any doubt? Not only does Ninth Sister look so much like my father, she also has the same red mole on her arm, and the time and place of her birth also match. She must be my father's flesh and blood."
Yan Muxi rolled up his left sleeve and found a mole on his arm, but it was not blood red, but light brown.
