"Help?"
Madam Lian widened her eyes and asked in bewilderment.
Lin Mengya nodded and picked out some unimportant information to explain softly.
"When His Highness was wandering among the commoners, he was almost beaten to death by a hooligan. I was passing by, so I saved him. "
Even though she knew that Xun 'er couldn't be blamed entirely for this matter.
Even his guardian, Murong Xi, could not get away with it. After all, the child's fate depended on how the adults educated him.
But at that time, she was really angry.
Now that she thought about it, she felt even more heartache.
"Aiya, such a small child, who could bear to hit him?"
Madam Lian was also a kind person. Although she had experienced misfortune, she always felt that most people in the world were good people.
But Lin Mengya knew better than anyone that the evil in this world was endless.
"He was just a ruffian, probably thinking that children are easy to bully."
Xun 'er must have been instigated by someone to hit the baby.
Although the child lacked education, but the adults who did not take it seriously seemed to be more responsible.
Especially Chong Hua, such a small child, what did she teach him?
"Yes, someone would do that. Sigh, children are innocent, why do they have to hit them? "
Madam Lian's face instantly darkened. She must have been reminded of the past.
Lin Mengya immediately sensed that something was wrong and quickly changed the topic.
"However, this child is really lucky. I have seen him a few times before, he is really a beautiful and adorable baby. "
Anyway, it was her own baby, it would be a waste not to praise him.
Madam Lian also pulled herself out of the sadness of the past and looked left and right.
"That's right! To be liked by that cold Highness Xi, he must be a smart and adorable child. I really want to see him sooner, I wonder if I can hug him. "
Madam Lian especially liked children, and Lin Mengya also wanted to introduce her own child to her aunt.
When they arrived at the courtyard, they found that there were many people.
But the housekeeper's expression was not very good.
"Miss, please sit here with Madam Lian for a while. There are too many people today, sorry for not being able to serve you well. "
Lin Mengya nodded, of course she did not mind this kind of thing.
The housekeeper led her to a small courtyard that could be considered simple and clean.
It was a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside.
"Her Highness Xi's face is really big."
Lian Yue was not suitable to be in a crowded place. Lin Mengya secretly held her hand, and she gave her a grateful smile.
"Not to mention her relationship with the Emperor and the Empress, just based on her family background and appearance, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people coming."
Although in front of others, Madam Lian was dignified and steady.
But in front of the two of them, Madame Lian was like a little girl of the same age, lively and joking.
Especially after his recovery, he seemed to be much more cheerful than before.
Perhaps he had figured out many things during his illness.
"In terms of family background and appearance, who can compare to our Young Miss Gong?"
Lian Yue blinked at her. Great, this guy actually knew how to make fun of her!
"Alright, don't flatter me. There are plenty of people who are better than me, aren't there? Look, isn't this pretty good? "
She lifted her chin, and the two of them followed her gaze.
At this moment, a girl in white walked into the courtyard.
She was beautiful, like an orchid in an empty valley.
Her temperament was outstanding, and it was obvious that she had received a good education.
Moreover, she did not appear to be extremely arrogant.
It seemed that she was a real lady from a prestigious family.
"Oh, you mean her. She is the famous Mr. Bai He. Don't tell me you've never seen her before? "
Who? Mr. Bai He?
Lin Mengya's eyes widened, and she looked out of the door.
That girl did have a scholarly air, but compared to the teacher, she looked more like a lady from a prestigious family.
And what was she doing here today?
"Could it be that Her Highness Xi invited her here to enlighten His Highness?"
Madam Lian still felt that it was a little strange, but Mr. Bai He had indeed taught a few boys, but they were all very young.
"I don't think so. Mr. Bai He has taken in many students recently, how would she have time to teach His Highness?"
In any case, Murong Xi would never ask Mr. Bai He to teach the baby.
He knew that there was something wrong with Mr. Bai He. If that was the case, why would Mr. Bai He appear?
"Aunt, do you know anything about this Mr. White Crane?"
Presumably, Mr. Bai He had entered by mistake.
After sensing that there was someone in the room, Mr. Bai He nodded slightly to show his respect, and then left.
Fortunately, Aunt Lian knew about these things.
"I know a little, but there's nothing special about him."
From Madam Lian's tone, it seemed that she did not like Mr. Bai He.
"Aunt, it seems that you don't like Mr. Bai He?"
Lin Mengya turned her head and asked in confusion.
Madam Lian said slowly.
"Although the White Crane's reputation has spread far and wide, the daughters of a few madams who I'm good friends with all eloped with her after she started teaching them. I always felt that there was something wrong with her. Unfortunately, everyone still treated her as a distinguished guest. "
Eloped?
She did not expect Mr. Bai He's teaching to be so exciting and avant-garde.
"But I think it takes two hands to clap for an elopement. If they don't want to, then it's useless even if someone instigates them, isn't it?"
Lian Yue's opinion was quite pertinent.
However, Madam Lian wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Obviously, things were not that simple.
"In the end, it's someone else's business. It has nothing to do with us. I think it's almost time. Let's go out now. "
No matter what, this was Murong Xi's mansion.
Based on that person's temper, even if Mr. Bai He wanted to do something, it would not be easy. Lin Mengya did not need to worry about it at all.
It was bustling outside. Not long after they left, Murong Xi appeared with the baby.
Today, he was still dressed in black, looking handsome and noble.
His eyes looked cold and aloof, but after looking around in the crowd, they finally fell on Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya smiled as a response.
Her man walked over slowly with his baby in his arms, and then unexpectedly stopped in front of her.
Lin Mengya signaled with her eyes that the two guys should leave quickly.
In the end, the two of them walked past Lin Mengya reluctantly and headed for the main hall.
"Why did I feel that they wanted you to go with them?"
Lian Yue asked curiously from behind.
Lin Mengya could only smile awkwardly. This father and son pair obviously needed to be taught a lesson!
The procedure to adopt a son was not complicated. As long as there was a powerful person as a witness, the child would serve tea and kowtow to the emperor.
However, this was because Murong Xi's adopted son not only had his name changed, but he was also going to enter the jade archive and have all the authority of his biological son.
That was why he was so eye-catching.
"Your Highness Xi."
Lin Mengya did not expect that the witness would be Uncle Lian!
However, when she thought about it, Uncle Lian was the emperor's trusted aide. Every move he made depended on the emperor's will.
Perhaps this meant that the Emperor had also agreed to it.
If that was the case, the significance would be different.
The Emperor had personally nodded his head. Who could say anything else?
Although she knew that she had no other choice, Lin Mengya still felt a little excited.
Even if she could not announce her identity as the child's mother to the world.
But at least the three of them were reunited.
"Madam Lian, thank you for your hard work."
Murong Xi was in a good mood, so his tone was naturally very polite.
He gave the baby in his arms to someone else and sat at the head of the table with Lord Lian.
"Your Highness, serve tea to your adoptive father!"
The two-year-old child did not know how to serve tea. He just needed someone to hold it and make it not too hot.
Murong Xi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and nodded.
Then, the man continued.
"Your Highness kowtows to your adoptive father."
Lin Mengya had taught the baby this before. The little thing learned quickly and was agile.
After the little body knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, his forehead was a little red and he felt a little dizzy, probably because he had kowtowed too hard.
Lin Mengya's heart ached. She stared at the big man who accepted it with a clear conscience.
If she had known this would happen, she would not have kowtowed to him.
Murong Xi did not know how to respond. This … couldn't be blamed on him, right?
She could not help but glance at the silly boy. Why did he kowtow so hard? If he became stupid, his mother would definitely kill him.
"Your Highness is really smart. He will definitely follow Your Highness and become a pillar of the country in the future!"
"Congratulations, congratulations, Your Highness Xi, congratulations, Your Highness!"
Compliments began to come out from the crowd.
Lin Mengya and Murong Xi's attitude toward these people was unprecedented.
Whoever took such words seriously would be a fool.
Murong Xi gestured to the butler to take the child away. She did not want those people to leave a bad impression on the child.
However, this was not a big deal. After all, they were not here for the child.
Who knew that at this moment, some uninvited guests would appear at the door.
"Your Highness Xi, you've adopted a new son today. Have you forgotten about the previous one?"
Lin Mengya and Murong Xi were very familiar with that voice.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Princess Chonghua walked up to them with Xun 'er.
"Your Highness, we're both adopted sons. How can you favor one and discriminate against the other? That child can inherit your honor, but this child came first. "
Today, Princess Chonghua was still dressed like Qing Xue.
However, Lin Mengya did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that there seemed to be a little more mean on this person's face.
Maybe it was because Chonghua's face was much thinner than before.
