Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 491: Daddy

Yang Chunni was stunned: "Miss, you're just telling me this? This is a secret that could lead to the extermination of nine generations of your family!"

"Haha." Sparrow couldn't help but laugh. "Sister Chunni, are you stupid? We're all dead. If you tell us, who else can you tell?"

“Yes, I didn’t realize it just now. I thought I was still alive, I…” Yang Chunni couldn’t continue speaking, and her eyes reddened, but she quickly wiped away her tears. “But I think being a ghost is more comfortable than being a human.”

"At least being a ghost doesn't have so many restrictions. If I could, I'd want to be a ghost for the rest of my life. Being human is too tiring," Que'er said with feeling.

"Alright, whether you're human or ghost, there's good and bad." Yunyi hurriedly interrupted the two ghosts' conversation. "You're doing well following me, but if you keep wandering alone, you might get swallowed by other ghosts one day and become their nourishment."

The two ghosts immediately fell silent.

Yunyi got up and left the flower hall, just in time to run into Fang Yunduo, who was rushing over angrily.

"Fang Yunyi, was this your doing?"

"What's wrong with me?" Yunyi shrugged.

"You...you seduced my father...slap!" Before Fang Yunduo could finish speaking, she was slapped across the face by Yun Yi, causing her to stagger twice. If Jiu'er hadn't caught her from behind, she would have fallen to the ground.

"Fang Yunduo, speak like a human being if you can, and shut up if you can't." Yunyi stepped forward and grabbed her hair. "If I hear anything unpleasant, don't blame me for beating you badly."

Fang Yunduo was so frightened that her face turned pale, but half of her face was red and swollen, and her eyes were trembling as she looked at Yunyi.

"Come on, I'll give you a chance, speak like a human being." Yunyi said, then directly pushed the person away.

Yunlu handed her a handkerchief to wipe her hands.

“My father…” Fang Yunduo gasped in pain as soon as she opened her mouth, “My father originally planned to give me a dowry of 100,000 taels, but now it’s gone, and he only gave me 10,000 taels.”

"What does it have to do with me?"

He said he wanted to give it to you.

"Did he say why he was giving it to me?"

"he……"

"Go back and ask your father, surnamed Chen, before you come here causing trouble again." Yun Yi rolled her eyes at Fang Yunduo. "This is the first time. If you dare to cause trouble again next time, don't blame me for breaking your legs. If you can't get married then, you can't blame anyone else."

Fang Yunduo turned and ran away in anger, but there was nothing she could do. This woman was no longer the same as before, and she really didn't dare to provoke her. If she had known that selling her would lead to this, she wouldn't have sold her. It would have been better to let her stay here than to end up like this.

She ran all the way to Yiyun Pavilion, saw Sun Qingli, rushed over and burst into tears.

"Duo'er, what happened? Who hit you?"

"Mother, I can't live anymore." After crying, Fang Yunduo told everyone about her meeting with Chen Guoliang. "He promised me a dowry of 100,000 taels, but today he sent someone to tell me it's gone, and he'll only give me 10,000 taels. Mother, what kind of man did you find? He..."

"What did you say?" Sun Qingli's voice suddenly rose. "You said you went to see who?"

"Looking for...just looking for...hiccup..." Fang Yunduo was startled and tried to say something, but instead burst into hiccups.

"Say it."

"It's... hiccup... Chen... hiccup... the one surnamed Chen... hiccup... my father..."

"Nonsense!" Sun Qingli slapped Fang Yunduo on the back.

"How did I act crazy?" Fang Yunduo raised her voice as well. "The hiccups have stopped, you're all better now!"

Sun Qingli sighed speechlessly. This daughter usually seemed quite clever, so why did she make such a stupid mistake at such a crucial moment?

"Mom, why are you yelling at me?" Fang Yunduo felt quite wronged. "Now the whole mansion is saying that Aze is not Dad's son, but the son of Master Chen the Second. So if Aze and I are twins, then isn't my biological father also Master Chen the Second?"

Sun Qingli closed her eyes and took a deep breath, unsure of what to do; there were some things she couldn't tell her.

"Mother, go tell my father I want a dowry. Without one, I won't have a good life in the Prince's mansion." Fang Yunduo grabbed Sun Qingli's arm and shook it. "And you have to avenge me! That bitch Fang Yunyi hit me, look how badly she beat me..."

"Aduo." Sun Qingli pushed Fang Yunduo's hand away, her expression turning serious. "Your dowry has been prepared. You can rest assured and wait for your wedding these next few days."

"Really?" Fang Yunduo's eyes lit up immediately. "How much?"

"No matter how much, I won't let you lose face." Sun Qingli patted Fang Yunduo's head. "Although you'll be a concubine in the prince's mansion, as long as you manage things well, your future will be better, understand?"

"I know." Fang Yunduo was overjoyed to hear that she would have a dowry, but she quickly covered her face and changed her tone, "But, Mother, you can't let that little slut continue like this. Our mansion has become her domain. You need to come out right now."

"Remember, don't provoke her." Sun Qingli frowned.

"then you……"

“I have my own plans,” Sun Qingli interrupted her daughter. “Also, remember this: your surname is Fang, and wherever you go, your surname will be Fang, understand?”

"Then my own father..."

"Your biological father is the Earl of Chengen."

"But……"

"Did you remember?" Sun Qingli's tone became serious.

"I've got it." Fang Yunduo could only nod.

After Fang Yunduo left, Sun Qingli sighed and plopped down in a chair, feeling utterly exhausted.

“Madam,” Granny Lou approached, “Don’t be angry, the second young lady is still young.”

"She's about to get married," Sun Qingli said gravely. "How can I be at ease if things continue like this?"

Granny Lou fell silent. She was originally a rough and unskilled old woman, but she had gained Sun Qingli's favor and become the head nanny. However, there were still many things she couldn't understand.

Sun Qingli waved her hand, not expecting any advice from Granny Lou. After sitting alone for a while, she called Pearl in and handed her a purse: "Take this to Ni Chang Pavilion."

Pearl agreed, put the purse into her bosom, and turned to leave.

Sun Qingli closed her eyes briefly. She hadn't originally planned to cooperate with them, but now... for the sake of her child, she had no choice but to cooperate. Fang Yunyi, you forced me into this.

After leaving Yiyun Pavilion, Pearl hurriedly walked out, but she stopped at the second gate. She turned her head to look in the direction of Qimiao Tower, clenching and unclenching her fists repeatedly, looking very conflicted. In the end, however, she still chose to leave the mansion.

However, after leaving the main gate, Pearl did not go to the Rainbow Pavilion immediately. Instead, she looked around to make sure no one was there before going to the side gate and knocking on the courtyard gate of the Wonderful Building.
