Su Wanrou didn't even think about it, "I know this person. She has been to the house where the woman lived several times. I remember she called herself a saint at that time."

Liu Yunyan looked at Shen Ruolan, "Did the Li family live near the palace wall before?"

Shen Ruolan nodded without hesitation, "Li Rongyuan's ancestors were once palace guards and lived very close to the palace. Their descendants were not up to standard and became increasingly destitute until his grandfather's generation suddenly made a lot of money and moved to the countryside. It was not until Li Rongyuan entered the government that he settled in the capital again."

This makes sense. The family surnamed Li at the entrance of the secret passage should be Li Rongyuan's father or grandfather. Li Rongyuan must have known about that secret passage.

He has a relationship with the Southern Xinjiang Witch Clan, so Liang Jilin has the whistle of the miracle doctor Nan Yi.

Liu Yunyan was holding the jade talisman. She seemed to have seen the pattern on it somewhere, but where?

"Are you telling all this now just to save your life?" Liu Yunyan asked.

"Yes, and I want you to help me leave the Li family," Su Wanrou said.

Liu Yunyan was puzzled. "If I remember correctly, didn't you want to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion in place of Aunt Shen? Why are you leaving now?"

Su Wanrou lowered her head. "If I hadn't done that, my poor child and I would have died long ago. For so many years, we have been controlled by others. I have had enough of this kind of life."

"Aren't you and Li Rongyuan together voluntarily?" Shen Ruolan recalled that day at the door of the house, and could still feel the deep affection between the two.

"Voluntary?" Su Wanrou murmured to herself, "I originally had someone I liked, but Li Rongyuan accidentally saw me and took me into the Li family by force. I gave birth to my first child. You should have seen that silly child."

"What is your relationship?" Shen Ruolan asked.

"I originally thought that there was no relationship between us. My family and the old lady's family were from the same village, but we suffered a disaster and drifted around."

"It wasn't until I was brought into Li Rongyuan's mansion and accidentally met my former hometown friend that I knew... I knew," Su Wanrou covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

"It turns out that the old lady once gave birth to a daughter, but she never liked the child, so she abandoned the child at her parents' home and ignored her. My adoptive parents had no children, so they took the child back home to raise. The old lady's family told her that the child had died of illness a long time ago."

"Are you that child?" Shen Ruolan opened her eyes wide in disbelief. What kind of evil fate was this?

"Have you told them about your life story?" Liu Yunyan said.

Su Wanrou shook her head. "I don't dare tell them. I'm afraid they will kill me to silence me after knowing this. People like them are capable of any insidious tricks. I don't dare to take the risk."

Shen Ruolan couldn't help but sigh. After living together for so many years, the simple girl's state of mind had already changed a lot from what it was before.

"Ever since the news spread a few days ago, they have been biting me like hungry wolves, forcing me to confess to those trumped-up charges! They said that I was immoral and climbed into Li Rongyuan's bed; they also slandered me for spreading false information and misleading people, trying to put all the blame on me!" Su Wanrou said unwillingly.

"I'm very scared. My life has been ruined by him, but I can't let them continue to destroy my child," Su Wanrou admitted that she did want to protect herself by telling Li Rongyuan's secret at the beginning, but it was a helpless act in panic.

After a long while, Shen Ruolan sighed, "After so many years, are you still thinking about your sweetheart?"

Thinking of the young man who was once full of vigor and vitality, Su Wanrou smiled bitterly, "What's the point of thinking about him? So many years have passed, and we are no longer the same as before. We met but did not recognize each other. This is our best fate."

Liu Yunyan suddenly discovered one thing, that is, Su Wanrou never mentioned the other child among the twins from beginning to end, and she and Li Xueyan even seemed to not know each other at all.

"You just said that you gave birth to twins, one of whom is the current prince. What about the other one?" Liu Yunyan said.

"Your Highness," Shen Ruolan spoke out to stop Liu Yunyan from asking any more questions.

Li Xueyan also looked nervous and scared. She was really afraid that if her mother knew the truth, she would no longer like her.

"The other one was a girl, who was very fair and tender and very cute. At that time, Li Rongyuan said that he would let the girl enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, and that I, as a father, would love her openly," Su Wanrou's eyes were filled with tenderness when she thought of her daughter.

"Although I don't like Li Rongyuan, it's my child after all, so I naturally didn't agree. So when they sent the child born by Madam Shen over, the two children were lying together. I took advantage of their inattention and changed the two children's little packages back," Su Wanrou couldn't help feeling sad when she thought about it. "Later, I found out that my daughter was drowned by him."

Having said this, Su Wanrou could no longer control the sadness in her heart and began to sob softly.

Shen Ruolan and Li Xueyan, mother and daughter, exchanged glances, both with shock on their faces. It turned out that they were actually mother and daughter.

"Mom," Li Xueyan ran over quickly and got into Shen Ruolan's arms, choking with sobs, "So you already knew it."

Shen Ruolan patted her daughter's back and said, "Mother has known about this for a long time, but I thought that after raising you for so many years, I would not be willing to give you back to someone else even if you were not my biological daughter. I never thought that you are actually my biological daughter."

After hearing all these grievances and entanglements, Liu Yunyan sighed deeply. Fate is so fickle and destiny plays tricks on people.

"I will send someone to pick up your child, and then find a new place for you and your child to live," Shen Ruolan was still very grateful to Su Wanrou, because her own daughter would always be by her side.

"Thank you, Madam." Su Wanrou wiped away her tears and thanked Shen Ruolan, "Wanrou was wrong in the past. In the future, I will definitely..."

Shen Ruolan interrupted her, "It's not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame those men who are attracted by beauty and bully others by taking advantage of their power."

Su Wanrou was also forced by power and had no choice but to do this. Shen Ruolan would not make things difficult for her. Instead, she was more grateful for her unintentional act of saving her daughter. It was not reasonable for her to ignore her.

"What about the prince?" Liu Yunyan asked again.

"That child and I are not close. They wanted me to replace Madam Shen because I had no background and they could easily control me," Su Wanrou said. "Now that I can escape from that sea of ​​suffering, I will naturally not have any intersection with him."

"He has been blinded by fame, wealth and power. I can't give him anything. Everything he has has nothing to do with me anymore."
