Her questioning left Zhou Changfeng at a loss as to how to answer.

He hesitated for a moment, "Princess Ming, although family scandals should not be made public! But I know that there are many things involved in this matter. If the person behind the scenes is not found out, there may be a bigger conspiracy..."

"It's good that you know."

Yun Wanning glanced at him sideways.

Regardless of whether it is a family scandal that should not be publicized, this matter has obviously become a big deal!

Zhou Changfeng actually wanted to hide this from her?!

From the time of the incident to the Zhou family to now, haven't the Zhou family been tied to Prince Ming's Mansion?

What can’t be said?!

"Furthermore, my Tiantian and your little highness...well, it's the daughter who is not allowed to stay in college after all! I can't say anything about the relationship between these two children in the future, ahem."

Zhou Changfeng deliberately cleared his throat, "We are not considered outsiders anymore, right?"

"So it doesn't count as making a family scandal public."

"It's good that you know."

Yun Wanning glanced at him sideways again.

Seeing what he wanted to say, she hit his head with the candied haws in her hand, like ringing a bell, "If you keep chirping, I'll beat you!"

I never felt the wind was noisy around the perimeter before.

Why do you see this guy so badly in need of a beating?!

Seeing that she was serious and dodging the candied haws in her hand, Zhou Changfeng immediately sat upright and returned to his previous cold and serious demeanor.

"The illegitimate son of my father-in-law was given to me by my mother-in-law..."

Zhou Changfeng gave her a meaningful look.

Yun Wanning understood immediately.

No wonder Hei Youwei's mother said that there was a tigress outside and that Hei Youwei's brother had been taken away by the tigress.

It turns out that Mrs. Qian took her away!

Looking at Zhou Changfeng, he didn't seem to know that Prefect Qian also had an illegitimate son who was about the same age as Yuan Bao and Zhou Tiantian...

She did not reveal the matter.

He just frowned and asked again, "Is the illegitimate child still alive?"

"No one knows."

Zhou Changfeng shook his head, "Back then, my father-in-law and mother-in-law had a fierce quarrel over this matter. I also heard from the old man in the mansion that my mother-in-law was in extreme pain and once wanted to commit suicide."

"Later, there was a divorce. However, my father-in-law loved her deeply and would not agree to it even if he killed her."

"My father-in-law also said that if my mother-in-law wants to commit suicide, he will die with her."

"If the mother-in-law wants to shave her head and become a sister-in-law, he should also shave his head and become a monk."

"If the mother-in-law wants to make peace with her, he will go to her mother-in-law's house and become a servant, and he will not let go until death."

Hearing this, Yun Wanning frowned even more tightly.

What are these words?!

"If Prefect Qian was really so infatuated, how could he have an affair with that maid? How could he have an illegitimate child?!"

"This...I heard that my mother-in-law was injured when she gave birth to Zhu'er, and then she had trouble conceiving again. My father-in-law wanted to have a son, so that's why..."

Zhou Changfeng explained.

It turned out to be because of this!

"Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with wanting your son to continue his family life. Why is Mrs. Qian so stubborn and refuses to forgive Governor Qian?"

This is not the 21st century.

Now that she has three wives and four concubines, even if Mrs. Qian is jealous, she won't hold grudges for the past twenty years, right?!

"Because my father-in-law has been hiding this from my mother-in-law."

Zhou Changfeng looked serious, "When my mother-in-law learned that it would be difficult for her to conceive, she offered to give her a concubine. But my father-in-law refused and said that she only has one person in her life!"

"Oh, I understand! It turns out that the reason why Mrs. Qian is so upset is because she was deceived by Governor Qian!"

Yun Wanning suddenly realized.

If it were her, she would be angry too.

When Mrs. Qian offered to take a concubine for him, Prefect Qian refused to agree and said such affectionate words.

But secretly, he secretly hooked up with the maid behind Mrs. Qian’s back and gave birth to an illegitimate child!

What woman is not angry?!

This prefect Qian does one thing on the outside but another behind the scenes. He talks nice, but he can't control his lower body.

What a scumbag!

"Since you have already planned it, why bother holding up the flag of affection?"

Yun Wanning sneered.

"The original mother-in-law didn't know about this. It was by chance that she saw a boy in the house who looked exactly like my father-in-law! She became suspicious."

Women have the most accurate sixth sense.

Mrs. Qian immediately investigated the matter and found that the child was actually the illegitimate son of Prefect Qian!

For more than ten years, she had been kept in the dark by Prefect Qian, and she didn't even know that the illegitimate child was growing up right under her nose!

"Mother-in-law is furious."

Zhou Changfeng shook his head gently, "The two of them had a big fight that time, and my servant sent a message to Beijing overnight."

"At that time, Zhu'er and I had just gotten married. I didn't dare to let her know about this, so I found an excuse and came to the prefect's residence overnight."

"My mother-in-law has been struggling with what to do with the illegitimate child."

He frowned and glanced at Yun Wanning, "In the end, we don't know why the mother-in-law took the child away."

"At that time, the child was about fifteen or sixteen years old."

"Anyway, after being taken out of the prefect's mansion, the child never came back."

Does this mean that the child was killed by Mrs. Qian?

"We don't know whether the child is dead or alive. Anyway, my mother-in-law only said one sentence. If my father-in-law still wants to have a good relationship with her, he will give the child to her."

Since she was able to send the child out of the prefect's mansion, it means that Prefect Qian compromised.

But even if the broken mirror is reunited, the cracks remain.

No matter how much Prefect Qian tried to make up for it, the scar in Mrs. Qian's heart could never be healed.

Therefore, she became addicted to gambling, living in depression and numbing the pain in her heart.

The two people seem to be in love, but they have long been separated from each other...

Yun Wanning sighed softly, "No matter what the relationship is, the most important thing is trust!"

"yes."

Zhou Changfeng nodded, looked up at her again, and asked doubtfully, "Princess Ming, why are you asking about the illegitimate child?"

Since they didn't know about Hei Youwei's existence, Yun Wanning made an excuse, "I suddenly remembered it."

"oh."

Zhou Changfeng had no doubt that he was there, "What should we do next?"

Yun Wanning pondered for a moment, "First send someone to find the whereabouts of the illegitimate child."

"I see that even though Mrs. Qian is a bit mixed up, she doesn't look like someone who can be ruthless enough to kill people."

She said, "The illegitimate child should still be alive!"

Zhou Changfeng nodded in agreement, "I think so too. Then I will order people to find the whereabouts of the child!"

Seeing that Yun Wanning seemed to have something to say, he hurriedly said, "I know that this matter will be carried out secretly and will not alarm my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Please rest assured, Princess Ming."

"Um."

Yun Wanning then let him go.

After a while, Yuan Bao came over again.

He obviously shook off Zhou Tiantian, put everything in the small bag into Yun Wanning's arms, and picked up a few plum candies and put them into the bag.

He said nothing, only busy packing his small bag.

In addition to plum candy, a lot of medicine is also added.

Seeing this, Yun Wanning knew exactly what he was going to do and deliberately asked, "Son, what are you doing?"
