She laughed out loud as she said this, and said with a hint of self-deprecation: "What is this? An equal wife?"
She, Xiao Lingyue, hasn't fallen to this level yet, has she?
Zhan Beihan looked at her meaningfully: "Are you very concerned about your concubine?"
Xiao Lingyue asked, "Shouldn't I care?"
Zhan Beihan curled his lips: "So..."
But she continued: "As you said, both Hanhan and Beibei need a biological mother with an innocent identity to protect their legitimate sons' identities from being shaken and looked down upon by others.
But now, the whole capital knows that the real woman in Prince Yi's Mansion is Xie Yurui.
Even if I regain my identity, it will be just an empty show in name only, which will not be of any help to the two children. Instead, I will attract the hostility of Xie Yurui, and even bring trouble to Hanhan and Beibei."
Once Xie Yurui found out that she was the biological mother of two children, she took away the position of concubine that she regarded as her prize.
Xie Yurui must have hated her to the core, and would have even angered her two children.
And Zhan Beihan protects her, so even if she does something wrong, she doesn't have to pay the price.
Xiao Lingyue can't do it.
She didn't dare to gamble with her two children, and she didn't believe that Zhan Beihan would deal with it impartially if Xie Yurui did something next time.
So, what does the identity of Princess Yi mean to her?
It's just a hot potato that is harmful but useless.
Xiao Lingyue felt ironic when she thought about it.
She looked at the man's increasingly cold face and suddenly sneered: "You want me to regain my identity and even threaten me with two children, but you are just using me as a tool, right?"
Zhan Beihan's eyebrows twitched, he looked at her coldly, and said word by word: "Tool?"
"It's just a tool on the surface." Xiao Lingyue looked directly at him, "You just need someone to occupy the identity of the princess so that Han Han's status will not be shaken, and all the rights of the princess belong to you.
In the hands of my beloved concubine.
To put it bluntly, she is real but not real, and I am real but not real.
What a blessing for everyone!"
Zhan Beihan laughed angrily and pinched her chin: "So, this is what you really think?"
Xiao Lingyue did not answer him directly.
She said calmly: "I always couldn't figure it out. Since you have doted on Xie Yurui for so many years and protected her sincerely, why didn't you make her a princess?
At first, I thought it was because you were thinking about Hanhan and didn't want him to have a legitimate stepmother, which would affect his status.
But I soon discovered that my guess was wrong.
The rights you gave Xie Yurui have already surpassed Hanhan's, and even when the two of them had a conflict, you asked the servants in the house to only listen to Xie Yurui's words and let her control Hanhan."
Zhan Beihan said coldly: "I did give such an order, so what? If you, my mother, were not irresponsible and left your son for so many years, would I have needed someone to look after him?"
It's good now.
She blamed him in turn.
She has to blame herself! She abandoned Hanhan and walked away, failing to fulfill her motherly responsibilities.
Xiao Lingyue did not argue with him, but only smiled sarcastically: "This shows that you trust Xie Yurui very much in your heart, and you can even let her replace me as Hanhan's biological mother."
She thought of Xie Yurui's confident statement that she was Han Han's concubine, and her eyes darkened.
Zhan Beihan said word for word: "It's you who didn't want this identity in the first place!"
Xiao Lingyue said: "In that case, why don't you just give her the identity of the princess? If you want to replace her, then replace her more thoroughly!"
