Yuan Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't be impatient. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it after dinner."
After saying this and greeting everyone to continue eating, Xiao Jialan and Xin Ruyi diligently served Mrs. Ye with dishes.
It was just this meal that made everyone feel uneasy. After the meal, Xin Ruyi and Xiao Jialan sent Mrs. Ye back to rest, while Yuan Chen, Ye Jinming and Mu Rufeng went to the study.
Mu Rufeng asked curiously: "What is going on? Why do I think you are not worried at all?"
He asked Ye Jinming: "Don't you always love your sister the most? Why didn't you say a word today?"
Yuan Chen said: "Mother Lin is right. Jialan is indeed not Mrs. Ye's daughter, nor is she Jin Ming's biological sister."
"Wha...what?"
Mu Rufeng's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
Yuan Chen said: "Jialan is the princess of Nanyue Wei Palace. Her brother was involved in civil strife. She fled all the way to Beichen and rescued Jiajia, but Jiajia was not alive.
That’s why Jialan replaced Jiajia and became the young lady of the Duke’s Mansion, and that’s what happened.”
Mu Rufeng was stunned for a long time. What did he hear?
Xiao Jialan is actually the princess of Nanyue!
He looked at Yuan Chen and Ye Jinming and said, "So, you already knew?"
Ye Jinming shrugged and said, "Jialan revealed his identity to me at first, and then I told the prince, oh, Ruyi also knows about this."
Mu Rufeng frowned and said, "So, I'm the only one who doesn't know? Whether I'm your friend or not, you actually hid such a big thing from me."
Ye Jinming said: "With your temperament, can you keep a secret?"
Mu Rufeng choked, he couldn't hold on anymore, he said unconvinced: "You just look down on me!"
Yuan Chen said: "What you know is just the tip of the iceberg. Are you sure you want to vent your anger on us and don't want to listen any more?"
Mu Rufeng raised her eyebrows, looked at them and said, "What else are you hiding from me?"
Ye Jinming pulled him to sit down and said, "Sit down and listen slowly. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the excitement."
Mu Rufeng couldn't help but become curious after hearing this. He sat on the chair and listened to Yuan Chen telling him the secret hidden in Xiao Jialan.
At this time, in Mrs. Ye's yard.
Xiao Jialan sent Mrs. Ye back and comforted her: "Mom, you don't have to be too sad. If Granny Lin really trusts you, she should tell us what happened to her instead of doing anything secretly. To put it bluntly, she is still unfaithful.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time and there were no consequences."
That was not what Mrs. Ye was worried about. She looked at Xiao Jialan and said, "Aren't you going to ask me?"
Xiao Jialan held Mrs. Ye's hand and said: "I know that in this world, no mother would not recognize her own daughter.
Although mother knows that I am not your Jiajia, she still treats me as if she were her own child.
My parents died when I was young, and my brother and I depended on each other. My mother gave me the maternal love I lacked. In Jialan's heart, you are my mother."
Mrs. Ye's eyes were slightly hot. She hugged Xiao Jialan and said, "Jia Jia has a mole behind her ear. I discovered it the day you came back. You are not her.
But you are so well-behaved, sensible and considerate. When you call me mother, my heart almost melts. At first, I was disappointed and sad.
I know that my Jia Jia must be gone, otherwise Jin Ming would not have brought you back to lie to me.
But looking at you, I always felt that you were my daughter, and then I slowly thought about it, but I didn't expect that Nanny Lin would reveal your identity."
She held Xiao Jialan's hand and said, "Jialan, what should you do if His Highness the Crown Prince cares about your identity?"
Xiao Jialan said: "Mom, don't worry, Yuan Chen has known my identity for a long time, and even what Granny Lin did today is under our control!"
