Shen Anran raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, but she was too stubborn to let them fall:

"Mother, An Ran wants to go with you! Please take An Ran with you!"

As he spoke, Xiao Xiao's body softened, he fell to his knees, and kowtowed several times:

"Mother told An Ran not to cry no matter what happens! An Ran didn't cry today. An Ran did very well. Please mother, take An Ran with you!"

Everyone was stunned. Where did this child come from? They had never heard of him.

Shen Zhili was extremely angry. He stepped forward quickly and kicked out!

Xie Feiwan was unable to stop him and An Ran was kicked hard!

The little girl fell to the door, then quickly lay down again and kowtowed to Shen Zhili:

"Please, father, have mercy and let An Ran go with mother!"

Father?

The people were in an uproar!

Is this child Shen Zhili's?

On his wedding day, Shen Zhili left the palace to take up his new post without consummating the marriage, which became a popular topic in the capital.

This child is at most pretty, and has nothing to do with Xie Feiwan's beauty!

I heard that the concubine that the Marquis was going to marry had given birth to a son and a daughter.

I heard that she spoils him excessively, so she would definitely not call Xie Feiwan her mother!

So where did this child come from?

"Go back!" Shen Zhili roared, and wanted to kick again, but Xie Feiwan stepped forward to stop him:

"My Lord, you are so cruel to a child, aren't you afraid of being impeached by the censors?"

Four big men surrounded Shen Zhili and forced him to retreat two steps!

"My Lord, when was this child born?" The sour scholar was eager to watch the fun and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Is it your illegitimate child?"

"The Marquis has made no progress in the imperial examinations, but he has made great achievements in having children!"

"Hahaha!"

There was another round of laughter. If Shen Zhili's gaze could kill, there would be a river of blood in front of the Marquis's mansion today!

In the past, he didn't understand and thought that having three wives and four concubines was a man's nature, and that having a few children with concubines was just a private matter.

But the three years as a sixth-rank official were not in vain. At least Shen Zhili should understand that if this matter were to get out, his personal morality would be greatly damaged. Which superior would dare to hire him?

"Mother, can you take An Ran with you?"

Amid the noise, Shen Anran quietly grabbed Xie Feiwan's little finger and shook it gently.

The tears in my big eyes can hardly be contained!

One of her little hands covered her lower back, where Shen Zhili had just touched her.

Xie Feiwan knew without even looking that it must be covered in bruises!

"Not only will I have to leave the Marquis' Mansion, but the Xie family will no longer recognize me as their daughter. I will be homeless and have a hard time. If you follow me, you will suffer a lot and may even encounter many dangers..."

Xie Feiwan said as he lowered his head and looked at Shen Anran.

Shen Anran pursed her lips and listened carefully to what Xie Feiwan said before kneeling down again. She wiped her face, stroked her temples, folded her hands, and bowed solemnly:

"An Ran knows that it will be difficult for mother to go, but An Ran is mother's child. If mother is in trouble, An Ran will share the burden with her! If An Ran can grow up safely, she will serve mother and never leave her side!"

After all, she was still a four-year-old child. After she finished her vows, tears started to roll down her face.

The little guy kept wiping his face, but the more he didn't want to cry, the more tears came out.

Shen Anran was so anxious that she covered her eyes tightly and mumbled:

"An Ran will be obedient. An Ran can endure any hardship. Please mother, take An Ran away!"

Xie Feiwan's defense softened, he leaned aside, and took An Ran's two little hands:

"You said you wouldn't cry, why are you crying like a cat?"

Shen Anran threw herself into Xie Feiwan's arms and burst into tears:

"Mother, Anran is scared! Anran wants to follow mother! Wuuuuuu..."

Xie Feiwan felt bitter. Shen Anran was a miserable child.

She was born to Shen Zhili's concubine. When she was young, she almost starved to death because her mother had no milk.

I don't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, but when life and death were at stake, Xie Feiwan married in.

No one knew where her biological mother had been sold to. Seeing how pitiful An Ran was, Xie Feiwan bought two ewes in the backyard and fed her with steamed goat milk every day.

This raising lasted for three years!

Shen Zhili and Old Madam Shen never liked this child. Shen Anran was like a transparent person in the Marquis' Mansion.

Her lively laughter could only be heard when she was playing in Manfangyuan every day.

Sometimes when Old Madam Shen heard this, she would even say something provocative:

"What a bastard! She caused your biological mother to be sold, and you are making out with her, you pig-head!"

Shen Anran asked Xie Feiwan why her biological mother was sold and why her grandmother said that her mother killed her biological mother.

Xie Feiwan told him everything, not expecting the child to understand.

To Shen Anran, she was just doing her best to be kind.

After all, at that time, Xie Feiwan still had expectations for Shen Zhili.

Which woman can have no grudges when facing the child her husband has with someone else?

Shen Anran seemed to understand what he said, but treated Xie Feiwan as usual.

Thinking of this, Xie Feiwan sighed. This child is too thoughtful!

Today is the first time I heard my child say the word "afraid"!

For three years, a thousand days and nights, regardless of wind, rain, thunder or lightning, the child slept alone in the wing room.

I have never heard Shen Anran say the word "afraid"!

"Brother, what's going on?"

One person ran over quickly, holding the hem of her skirt.

Xie Feiwan hugged Shen Anran, looked up, it was Shen Yujun!

"Brother, I heard outside the city that you wrote a divorce letter. How could you write a divorce letter? You should have divorced her with a divorce letter!"

Shen Yujun walked closer and started complaining to Shen Zhili!

She went to the little princess's manor the day before yesterday and had just stayed there for two nights when she heard about the misfortune at home.

Thinking of his gentle brother and his mother who had never seen the world, Shen Yujun hurried back.

"She wants to take the dowry?" Shen Yujun looked inside the mansion and took a breath of cold air:

"Is this a house search? Why are they even turning over the land?"

"Stop, stop!" Shen Yujun jumped into the door and tried to stop them:

"This is my property, you can't take it away!"

"You are all my family members. How can you listen to orders from outsiders? Be careful or I will sell you to the slave kiln!"

"Miss Shen, our indentures are in the hands of our daughter, and we are never members of your mansion!"

A servant pushed Shen Yujun aside and walked over carrying a pot of dwarf pine.

"You...you are really rebellious!"

Seeing that the servants did not listen to her, Shen Yujun turned around and ran to Old Madam Shen:

"Mother, please take care of them. They are going to empty the mansion!"

Old Madam Shen's throat had been dry from howling, and after hearing what her daughter said, she kicked her legs hard and started howling again!

"Xie Feiwan, I don't allow you to move the things from the Marquis' Mansion! Hurry and ask them to move all the things back! Otherwise, I will file a complaint with the authorities!"

Shen Yujun had no choice but to put her hands on her waist and yell at Xie Feiwan:

"You have no children, and you owe the Shen family something. I'll use your dowry to make up for it!"

"Oh, is this the daughter of the Marquis's mansion? She is so well-educated that she dares to talk about her brother and sister-in-law's bedroom affairs!" The sour scholar came on stage again, winking:

"Then you naturally know why the Marquis is so fertile. Why don't you tell us the secret recipe and benefit everyone!"
