Hearing this, the man glanced at her quickly, showing hesitation, but he did not rush to deny it.
Ling Lihua saw his reaction in her eyes and asked, "Can you tell me what happened back then? Why did Zheng Yanran suddenly come back with the child in her arms and lied that she was the daughter of Duke Zhen Guo?"
The man glanced at her, feeling endlessly confused, but after a moment, he sighed and said, "Well, since Yanran is dead, I have nothing to hide anymore. Yes, I came here just to take a look. My daughter, if possible, I would like to recognize her back, but I didn't expect that Yanran is already dead... "
"So, Lu Yunshuang is really the daughter you had with Zheng Yanran?" Ling Lihua looked at him in surprise.
The man hung his head in shame, thought for a moment, and then recounted what happened that year.
It turned out that Zheng left the Imperial Capital after being driven away by Lu Hetian, but encountered bandits on the road. At a critical moment, she met this man and was rescued by him.
This man’s name is Zeng Lunan.
After he rescued Ms. Zheng, he felt pity for her when she was alone, and planned to give her a lift. Unexpectedly, the two got along with each other, but fell in love with each other and even got married. Not long after, Ms. Zheng returned her to him. She gave birth to a daughter, Lu Yunshuang, but Lu Yunshuang was a premature baby, born one month early.
After listening to what he said, both Ling Lihua and the old lady Junju fell silent.
So that's what happened.
This can explain why Zheng became pregnant after marrying Zeng Lunan, but Lu Yunshuang was older than Weiwei.
Because Lu Yunshuang was born prematurely, the time of her birth coincided with the day when Zheng seduced Lu Hetian.
"Yanran told me back then that she had no father or mother, and she was living under someone else's roof. However, the owner of the family took notice of her and wanted to take her as a concubine. She couldn't bear the humiliation, so she ran away..." Zeng Lunan said with a bitter smile.
Ling Lihua came back to her senses and sneered, "You were deceived by her. No one forced her. It was because she had evil intentions and wanted to seduce Duke Zhen that she was driven away by him."
It seems that Zeng Lunan was also deceived by Zheng.
Zheng was desperate, so she used her weak appearance and fabricated pitiful experiences to win Zeng Lunan's sympathy and make him her protector.
Thinking of this, she was a little sarcastic.
This is really a trick Zheng always uses.
Because when she was young, she also saw Zheng's pity, so she took her in, but who knew that she would lead a wolf into the house.
Although Zeng Lunan now proved that Lu Yunshuang was the woman he had with Zheng, not Lu Hetian, she was still angry.
Hearing her sarcastic words, Zeng Lunan sighed but did not refute.
Because he also found out later.
Zheng Yanran told him like that, maybe she wanted to win his sympathy. After all, it was human nature for her to be a woman alone and to seek shelter.
He didn't blame her in his heart, but he felt a lot of guilt because later, he watched helplessly as their mother and daughter were taken away, but he could do nothing...
After the old lady was surprised, she calmed down and asked the key point of the matter, "According to Mr. Zeng's intention, you should live a happy life, but why did Mrs. Zheng abandon you with Shuang Shuang?" When your son returns to Duke Zhen’s mansion, you still want to lie and claim that the child belongs to Duke Zhen?”
Hearing this, Zeng Lunan was so ashamed that he couldn't help but say, "This will start after Yanran gave birth. That day..."
