Bai Gangru then glanced at Lee Miaoyu before pointing at the youth sitting at the seat of the seat below him. "This is my eldest son, he's also studying in the White Deer Institute. Have you all met him before?"

Lee Miaoyu's eyes looked at the young man. He had a handsome face and a refined temperament. Just by looking at his appearance, he was comparable to Qi Hongxuan.

In the next seat of honor for the youth was a boy about six or seven years old. He was also extremely intelligent and had black eyes that were looking around.

"Uncle Bai, I've never seen you before." After saying that, Lee Miaoyu stepped at least a year away. She blessed herself and said, "Miaoyu greets Young Master Bai."

The young man looked at her with a calm and indifferent expression. He stood up, bowed, and said, "Miss Lee, no need to be so courteous."

"Wenhao, Wenyuan, the two of you are studying in the academy with Miss Li. You must help each other. If Miss Li has anything that she doesn't understand, you can speak to Wenhao about it." Bai Gangru looked at his two sons and said.

Seeing that Lee Chengji was also smiling, he said, "I heard that your wife has given birth to a son for you, it's really a good fortune. Unlike me, only these two sons are envious when they see the pink and tender daughters of others."

Lee Chengji's and Lee Miaoyu's expression instantly changed. From Bai Gangru's words, it seemed that he did not know Lee Miaoyu's identity as a Shu Family's daughter. Did he think she was the Madam's daughter?

While Lee Chengji was thinking about how to explain Miaoyu's identity to Bai Gangru, Xu Qinglian came into the lobby with a smile and asked them to move to the side room for a meal.

Bai Gangru saw that Xu Qinglian was still young and only in her early twenties, and no matter how he looked, she wasn't someone who had a daughter like Lee Miaoyu. Bai Gangru saw that Xu Qinglian wasn't as intimate as the normal mother and daughter, and wondered why the atmosphere between Xu Qinglian and Lee Miaoyu wasn't as friendly as the normal mother and daughter, so he waited for Xu Qinglian to walk further away before asking in a low voice, "Lord Li, Miss Li's appearance is really similar to your wife. I'm afraid she's more like you."

Lee Chengji's expression was stiff as he smiled in embarrassment: "My lord, please don't tease me. Miaoyu came from a side room, so she doesn't look like you." Since he couldn't hide it from them, he might as well confess as he could and save himself a lot of trouble in the future. He could only hope that Miaoyu would try her best.

Bai Gangru secretly raised his eyebrows. Although he was unhappy, he did not show it on his face. The Bai Family was an aristocratic family, and they also had an extraordinary influence in the imperial court.

Lee Miaoyu's white cheeks seemed to be burning. The name of a concubine was like the most embarrassing scar in the depths of her heart, yet it was being opened again and again by someone. Fresh blood dripped from it, and it would never heal.

Yang Suyun brought Lee Miaoan and Li Ping to the side, and after seeing the ceremony, everyone else took their seats. Bai Gangru teased Lee Chengji for his blessings, while the second son and the second daughter were really envious of them.

In a room filled with food, Lee Chengji seemed to have forgotten that he still had a daughter who was currently at the corner of Lee Mansion, eating plain food from the servants.

"You're Lee Miaoyin?" Bai Wenyuan pointed to Lee Miaoan who was sitting beside Yang Suyun and asked.

Lee Miaoan shook her head. "I'm Lee Miaoan. Lee Miaoyin is me, Second Elder Sister."

Lee Chengji's smile froze on his face.

Bai Gangru was puzzled, "What? Lord Li has another daughter?"

Lee Chengji let out a dry laugh and replied, "Yes, and there is also a second daughter. She was given to me by an official. Since she is shy and doesn't like to see people, I let her be."
