Listening to her daughter's heartfelt words, the pregnant Lady Hou went on a killing spree.

Marquis Anshun's pupils shrank sharply, and he dared not utter a single word.

He was now quite certain that Prince Shun knew the truth, that the woman that night was Lady Ji, and that the child Lady Ji gave birth to was his.

Honestly, if he had acted according to his own nature, the Marquis of Anshun would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

He learned a lot from An'an's words. In her previous life, the mother and daughter suffered a lot in the Marquis of Anshun's mansion. An'an even miscarried at five months and stayed by her mother's side for half her life.

Thinking of this, Prince Shun felt a dull pain in his heart. If he had discovered the mother and daughter in his previous life, perhaps their fate would have been different.

The source of all suffering is this useless person in front of him. If the mother and daughter want revenge, then he will keep them alive so that they can take revenge for the grudges they didn't get in their previous lives.

Baihu placed the child beside Anshunhou and left with his master, not caring whether the child would survive.

The White Tiger had previously felt sympathy because he believed the child was his master's, but now that it had nothing to do with his master, he naturally withdrew his sympathy.

Those who can stay by their master's side must not be swayed by compassion.

Seeing that the person had gone far away, Marquis Anshun quickly picked up the child on the ground and left.

Now, soaked to the bone, he dared not return to the banquet and could only slink out of the palace in disgrace.

Upon arriving at the palace gate, Changqi had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of his lord. As soon as he saw his lord emerge with a child in his arms, Changqi quickly went to greet him.

"My lord, has the palace banquet ended so early?"

"This servant has not seen Your Highness since your birth."

Changqi leaned closer and took a look at the child in his master's arms, and laughed.

"My lord, the princess looks very much like the young lady when she was little."

Changqi continued talking to himself, completely unaware of his master's gloomy face.

"My lord, why are your clothes wet?"

Only now did Changqi realize that Marquis Anshun's clothes were wet.

After saying that, Changqi looked back.

"My lord, why didn't you see Madam with you?"

Ignoring the excited Changqi, Marquis Anshun coldly uttered two words.

"Return to the residence."

After saying that, she picked up the child and got into the carriage next to her.

Changqi glanced around on his way out of the palace to make sure he didn't see his wife before turning back and driving his carriage back to his residence.

After An'an fell asleep halfway through the palace banquet, she didn't wake up until the banquet ended.

The emperor and empress wanted to say goodbye but couldn't. They could only helplessly watch as Lady Anshun carried her into the sedan chair.

The Empress sighed.

"Sigh! If only An'an were a child of the royal family, we could raise her by our side, but that's not possible now."

The Emperor and Empress could only sigh silently; they had only just parted ways, and now they already longed for An'an.

Today, a full moon banquet is being held in the palace, and almost every family that comes to the banquet brings something.

When the master and his servants left the palace in a carriage, a line of more than a dozen carriages followed behind them.

"Madam, if we bring all this stuff back, we're afraid the yard won't be able to hold it all."

Zhiyi looked at the dozen or so carriages following behind, all filled with the congratulatory gifts received today, and suddenly felt a headache coming on. Having too many things in such a small courtyard was also a troublesome thing.

"Having been away from the manor for so long, the people of the Marquis's residence must miss us very much. Today, we don't need to go back to the small courtyard; we can go directly back to the Marquis's residence in Anshun."

An'an, who was being held in Ji Yueru's arms, wanted to clap her hands and cheer. She didn't believe that the people in the Marquis's mansion wouldn't be envious of all the good things they had taken back.

They'll chop off anyone who gets jealous and tries to take advantage of them.

Hearing that he was going back to the mansion to write, he was very worried.

"Madam, the Marquis suffered a great loss at the banquet today and will be paraded through the streets tomorrow. Will he take his anger out on you?"

Before Ji Yueru could speak, Chunhua, who was standing to the side, brandished her fist.

"Sister Shuyi, you're worrying too much. My fists aren't just for show."

Enjoy the pleasure of writing.

Yes, how could she forget Chunhua? Chunhua is the kind of person who could beat up the Marquis.

With Chunhua around, along with Mowenmoda and the other guards, the lady and the princess won't suffer any losses.

As for the princess's residence given by the emperor, neither the mother nor the daughter plans to live there for the time being.

Life is never complete without fun; without fun, life would be too boring.

In their previous life, these were all things that the Marquis's family owed to them, and they didn't feel that they had gone too far at all.

Before the banquet was over, Marquis Anshun returned to his residence by carriage, and the child in his arms naturally fell into Changqi's arms.

Changqi thought it was An'an, since the Marquis hadn't mentioned the child's identity along the way.

Changqi held the child very carefully, but felt that the child was too thin. Could it be because the child was too picky about food? Otherwise, why was the child so thin?

The old, weak, sick, disabled, and servants in the manor all watched with longing eyes, hoping that the Marquis would bring his wife back from the palace banquet this time.

But when they learned that only the Marquis and the Princess had returned, the servants of the Marquis's mansion were very disappointed.

What's the use of the princess coming back? What they're hoping for now is for the lady to return so she can provide some money to improve the household's living conditions.

They don't ask for much, just the same as before.

Upon returning to the manor, Changqi immediately took the children and busied himself with preparations. When Lin Tianci and Lin Wanwan heard that Changqi had returned with the child born to Ji Shi, the two of them went directly to the courtyard where the child was temporarily placed.

Changqi was so busy that he barely had time to rest. He handed the child over to a few temporarily assigned old women and maids, and then hurriedly left the mansion to find a wet nurse.

The baby is crying loudly from hunger; he can't go on without milk.

Now, Changqi finally began to have doubts. Could it be that the Marquis secretly brought the princess back? Otherwise, why would the Madam allow the Marquis to bring the princess back alone?

Despite his doubts, Changqi hurriedly left the mansion to find his wet nurse.

As Lin Tianci and Lin Wanwan entered the courtyard, the sound of a child crying loudly came from inside the house.

The two entered the house and saw the old woman and maid standing helplessly to one side.

When the two arrived at the bedside and saw the child crying loudly with his mouth open, Lin Wanwan was so angry that she slapped the child across the mouth.

"Stop crying! What are you crying for? How dare you try to steal my princess title? I'll kill you!"

Still not satisfied with what he was saying, he slapped the child's mouth a few more times as he cried.

The maids and servants beside them were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Young Miss, you can't hit her anymore. If you keep hitting her, her mouth will swell up. What will happen when Madam comes back and sees this?"

Lin Tianci stepped forward, staring coldly at the old woman and maid kneeling on the ground.

The two of them had forgotten the pain once the wounds had healed. More than a month had passed since Ji Yueru left the manor, and they had already forgotten how they had been treated before.

Just then, a maid rushed into the room.

"Quickly! Butler, notify all the servants to go to the gate to greet her; the Madam has returned!"

The maids and servants in the room no longer cared about Lin Tianci and Lin Wanwan. One of the maids, wanting to please Ji Yueru, grabbed the child on the bed and ran out.

The other maids and servants quickly followed, and soon only the brother and sister were left in the room.
