Li Ziwen froze, and everyone present froze with him. Li Ziwen tried to find any trace of a joke on Li Qingyun's face, but clearly, there was none. Li Qingyun spoke again, "Outsiders don't know that she is my husband's biological mother. Most of them assume she is Father's second wife, and Mother is too lazy to explain, letting them misunderstand. But we are our own family, so we must make things clear! Originally, I wanted to explain when Father and Mother went to attend Father's banquet; at least seeing Mother, you would believe it. But now... sigh..."
"Yun'er, didn't you even suspect she was a fake?!" Li Ziwen always spoke whatever came to mind without ever thinking. His wife was extremely helpless and wanted to cover his mouth, but she was too late.
"Fake?!" Li Qingyun laughed in anger. "Three months ago, when the Prince's Mansion was attacked by assassins, it was Mother who hid the female residents of the mansion, while she and Second Aunt guarded the entrance to fight the enemy. Later, she took a blow for my husband, blocked two hidden weapons from assassins for my younger brother, and suffered severe poison for this, nearly losing her life. If she weren't his biological mother, who would rather die than let her son be harmed in the slightest?! Even if she weren't his real mother, how is her deep affection for the husband and his brother any different from that of a biological mother?!"
