Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Zhou Jin's attention was all on Lai Fu, and he didn't notice anything unusual about Gu Xiling.

He took the crescent moon pendant from Lai Fu's hand and observed it carefully. "The jade is warm and smooth, and it can be said to be of the highest quality. If it is a child from a peasant family, how could he have such a thing?"

"Xiu Lan, go call Nanny Yuan over. She knows the most about what happened back then. Since Lai Fu told me, as his master, of course I have to help Lai Fu find out the truth."

Lai Fu knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you, my lord. My lord, if my identity brings trouble to you and the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, I can leave and will never implicate the Marquis of Changning's Mansion."

Zhou Jin smiled when he heard this, "As long as it's not a rebellion, everything else is fine. Even if your family has rebelled before, it has nothing to do with you. As long as we keep it a secret, everything will be fine."

Xiulan knelt down with Lai Fu and kowtowed together, "Thank you, my lord. If my life experience is not good enough and it brings trouble to the Changning Marquisate, we will find a deserted place and live out our lives there. We will never bring trouble to the lord and his wife."

Zhou Jin wanted to say more, but was stopped by Gu Xiling, "I have approved this matter on behalf of the prince. No matter what happens, you and Lai Fu will have a stable life. Don't let your imagination run wild. No matter what your identity is, there are different solutions."

Compared to what the prince said, Xiulan and Lai Fu hoped it would be like what the prince's wife said.

No matter what, give them a chance to live.

"Thank you, Madam, and thank you, Master." Xiulan agreed, "I will go find Madam Yuan right away."

After Xiulan went out, Gu Xiling took the crescent-shaped pendant from Zhou Jin's hand.

Lai Fu also stood up and stood respectfully beside Zhou Jin.

After a while, Zhou Jin asked curiously, "Madam, have you figured out the trick?"

Gu Xiling took another look and said, "The pendants here in Kangguo, for baby boys, are mostly peace buckles or square shapes, rarely crescent shapes."

"On the one hand, it looks more elegant, and on the other hand, it can reduce the chance of damage. A crescent moon has two sharp points, which are too easy to collide."

At this time, Zhou Jin pulled out the pendant from his collar, "Madam, what you said makes sense. Look at my pendant. It was the peace locket my grandmother prayed for me."

Lai Fu was a little nervous. "I never thought that I, Lai Fu, had an extraordinary identity. I never dared to think about it in my dreams before."

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Don't worry, put this pendant here first. The Marquis is knowledgeable. Let the prince ask the Marquis tonight to see if he has seen it."

She knew, but it couldn't be told from her.

Zhou Jin agreed, "Laifu, don't be anxious. Since you came to me, you must want to know your life experience. In life, you must know where you come from, otherwise you will never feel at ease."

Lai Fu chuckled, "Prince, you have hit the nail on the head. I don't have any great ambitions, I just want to know how I came to be."

Xiulan brought Nanny Yuan over.

"Xiu Lan, move a stool for Nanny Yuan." Gu Xiling sympathized with Nanny Yuan. After all, she was not young anymore and couldn't stand standing all the time.

"Yes, Madam Crown Prince." Xiulan agreed and moved over a stool.

After thanking her, Nanny Yuan sat down and said, "Madam, whatever you want to ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Gu Xiling smiled, "Madam Yuan, since Lai Fu has told me and the prince about this, we should investigate Lai Fu's background so that he can have peace of mind. Who bought Lai Fu back to Changning Marquis's Mansion? I remember that the indenture of every servant would state their place of origin. Did you know that?"

Madam Yuan replied, "The person who bought Lai Fu was Manager Li, who was in charge of the servants and chores in our mansion. After I found the jade pendant, I saw Lai Fu's indenture from him. It said that he was from Wanlian County in the north."

"We bought the servants from human traffickers, so there is only the seal of Liuji Tooth Trader, not Lai Fu's parents. If you want to find out about Lai Fu's parents, you should go to Liuji Tooth Trader."

"Laifu is still young. I was afraid that if he really had a great background, he might attract bad people and harm Laifu, so I didn't continue to investigate at Liuji Yahang."

Nanny Yuan told everything she knew.

Zhou Jin thought about it, and then said to Nanny Yuan, "Nanny Yuan, go find Steward Li and ask him to come over."

Lai Fu heard this and said quickly, "Prince, Madam, I know Manager Li. This is not a big deal, there is no need to mobilize a large force to call Manager Li over."

Zhou Jin thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then what's your reason for asking Manager Li?"

Lai Fu chuckled, "My Lord, I've just said that I've gotten married, and I want to know the situation of my parents' hometown. This kind of situation is not uncommon in the Marquis' Mansion. Last year, when Brother Lai Yun got married, I went to ask Manager Li about it."

"He gave Manager Li two taels of silver, and Manager Li went to Liuji Pawnshop and found the contract that Laiyun's parents had signed with the pawnshop, and found out about his parents' situation. However, they fled and never returned. Maybe they are gone, and Laiyun no longer misses them."

Zhou Jin smiled, "Okay, then go ahead and let Zhou Shiyi go with you. If you need to go out of town, I'll ask him to take you there."

"Thank you, Prince." Lai Fu thanked.

Xiulan and Lai Fu left and went to find Manager Li.

Manager Li took two taels of silver from Lai Fu and immediately promised to take him to Liu's Dental Clinic today and would definitely be able to find information about Lai Fu's parents.

Lai Fu thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Li. I have a jar of good wine in my room. I will send it to you in the evening."

"That's easy. Once you get married, you're an adult. It's normal for you to want to know your life story." Manager Li smiled and said earnestly, "But your parents sold their child back then, which shows that life was difficult. Maybe they are gone now, so don't feel bad. We live a peaceful life in the Marquis' Mansion, which is also a blessing."

Lai Fu smiled apologetically, "Uncle Li, I know what you said. But if I don't find it, I always feel uneasy."

Manager Li was not surprised. People are born by their parents. Even if they were sold, it was better than starving to death if they could not make a living.

"I know, it's human nature." Manager Li smiled, explained the situation, and then took Lai Fu to Liu's Dental Clinic.

It went very smoothly. Manager Li was very familiar with the people at Liuji Dental Clinic and got the stub from more than ten years ago.

"Xujia Village, Wanjia Town, Wanlian County, Yuanchang Prefecture. Father: Xu Dazhu; mother: Sun."

Lai Fu found his identity information as he wished and was even more grateful to Manager Li.

After returning, Lai Fu sent the good wine over.

After Lai Fu left, Zhou Jin's eyes fell on the crescent-shaped pendant on the table and he remained silent for a long time.

Gu Xiling didn't say anything either. Gu Xirong might know about Lai Fu's death.

However, Gu Xiling would not be so foolish as to ask Gu Xirong and expose her cards.

If the matter involves serious matters, Gu Xiling also has a plan to make Gu Xirong speak out voluntarily.

Just don't be impatient, take it step by step.

In the afternoon, after finishing his errands, Marquis Changning did not return to the yamen but went straight back to his mansion.

Zhou Jin handed the crescent pendant to his father, Marquis Changning.

Marquis Changning was slightly stunned. He felt that the person looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he was for a moment.
