Chapter 1124: Chapter 1130 Suspicion
The next morning, Chen Yiling hurried to Qiao Duo’er’s house.
No sooner had she sat down than Chen Yiling couldn’t help but complain.
"Let me tell you, that Li Mu’er is truly shameless, to actually expect me to pour tea for her! Has she even considered her own status? Would she dare to drink the tea poured by yours truly?"
Just thinking about Li Mu’er, carrying her status and asking Lady Qin to pour a cup of tea, made her angry.
Both the Chen Family and her maternal family were prominent clans, so where did Li Mu’er get the audacity to command her?
"Relying on that son to behave even more outrageously is also no big deal."
Qiao Duo’er spread her hands, feeling that now Li Mu’er would even dare to pluck the stars from the sky.
Who made it so Prince Liang lacks a son?
Although she really wanted to tell Li Mu’er that the child wasn’t someone else’s, besides Prince Liang who is obliged to indulge her?
But that’s just the way society is, living here means playing by its rules. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
"Don’t mention that child. I saw him last night and I really don’t think he looks anything like Prince Liang," Chen Yiling whispered.
Thus she suspected that the child truly wasn’t Prince Liang’s.
However, she couldn’t specify exactly why, it was just a strange feeling.
Qiao Duo’er caught the scent of gossip and immediately perked up, "Does he look like Li Mu’er then?"
"Only the eyes do. With so many eyes watching in the temple, it’s not easy to deceive, so the child is certainly Li Mu’er’s, but as for who the father is, that’s uncertain."
By now, all sorts of scenes had flashed through Chen Yiling’s mind, all resembling illicit tales from operas.
Um... Could someone explain why her thoughts were so impure?
Anyway, she knew that at 13, Prince Liang was sent out by the Saint because of his involvement with a palace maid, and since then he’s been with countless women, even more than in the Saint’s harem.
Yet despite this, Prince Liang didn’t have a son, and many said he had offended some deity and was doomed to only have daughters in his lifetime.
How then could Li Mu’er be so lucky?
She’s not kind-hearted, nor is she a good person, so why would heaven favor her?
Qiao Duo’er sipped her tea before slowly saying, "Then we could investigate, we’re just a bunch of idle ladies after all."
"I’ll send someone right away. If it’s true, then Li Mu’er’s toast," Chen Yiling agreed wholeheartedly.
If they discovered something, it would be a stroke of luck for them, and if everything was normal, it wouldn’t cause much harm.
She was decisive and acted immediately, sending Ping’er to find the guard who had stayed at the manor.
After they finished gossiping, the three children got up one after another.
"Rui Rui, are you enjoying your stay at your godmother’s house?"
Chen Yiling was in high spirits watching Qin Mingrui eat heartily.
Qin Mingrui’s eating and studying habits were more like hers, somewhat picky and sophisticated.
But at the Tan Family, he ate only slightly slower than Green Group.
Qin Mingrui nodded between bites, "It’s very nice here, I like it."
"Then stay a little longer. After a while, your dad and I will come back to take you home," Chen Yiling decided cheerfully.
He had become more independent at the Tan Family, and she was willing to let him toughen up here for a while.
It would also save him from being pampered into a young lady by her, which would surely be scoffed at by Tangyuan.
Women are inherently weak and all like to be cherished in a man’s palm.
The three kids finished breakfast and burrowed into the study, each holding a book and looking extremely focused.
"They’re so young, can they understand it?"
Chen Yiling watched with a skeptical face and turned to Qiao Duo’er.
Normally a child starts learning at three, and these kids aren’t even two years old yet – could it really work?
