Hidden Marriage: Pamper Me Gently, My Sweetie Chapter 761: Did You Know My Mother in the Past?1

"Don’t worry." He reassured her, encircling Ye Ning’s hand and leading her to walk outside.

The air in M Country is good, and it’s extrely clean outside. As Ye Ning observed, she nodded towards Mu Yeli and said, "This place is pretty big, it might be comparable to the Presidential Palace."

"Indeed, it retains a lot of its ancient charm which is why it appears to be slightly smaller. However, given that M Country’s land area is comparatively bigger than England’s, this place is larger than Buckingham Palace but a little smaller than Windsor Castle. Just like the British royal family, they don’t only own just one palace. There are different styled palaces throughout M Country serving different purposes. This one is their residence for daily living, while their administrative residence is in the nearby Imperial Palace. In the sumrti, they go to a castle located by Gulf Lake to escape the heat."

Ye Ning was aware of so of this. Every year when the royal family went to escape the sumr heat, they would parade through the city in carriages. That day was also considered the official start of sumr, watched by the entire city, and the news would report heavily on it.

Mu Yeli carried on, "Usually, so of the castles are open for tourists to explore, but visits to this one and the Imperial Palace are prohibited."

"Oh."

As the pair was strolling, they noticed Ai Zhong, the butler, on the other side tending to the flowers and plants.

Upon seeing them exiting, he bowed and greeted them with a smile.

"Mr. Mu, Mada, good evening to both of you."

Ye Ning asked, "Ah, Butler Ai, why are you here?"

Ai Zhong replied, "Oh, these flowers are my personal planting. I co here every night to take a look. How do you find living in the palace? Are you used to it yet?"

Ye Ning jovially responded, "Ha ha, it’s so massive that I’m still finding my way around."

"Ha ha, it’s not so bad in fact. It isn’t even the biggest. The one we go to in the sumr is even larger. However, it’s sowhat ancient, and so facilities may not quite match the habits of young people like yourselves."

"Is that so?"

Ye Ning smiled lightly, but her thoughts turned to Xue Yuqin. After a pause, she seriously asked, "Butler Ai, there’s sothing else I want to ask."

"What is it?"

"How did you et my mother?"

Ai Zhong paused for a mont, "Ah, your mother hasn’t told you about it?"

Ye Ning shook her head, "No, she only said that she wasn’t aware that you were the butler of the royal family."

Ai Zhong chuckled, "It was quite the coincidence when I t your mother. Back in the day, I was running away from M Country with the queen, who was then the princess. We sought refuge in C Country. At the ti, the king was about to give birth to the fourth princess."

The fourth princess?

Ye Ning couldn’t recall a fourth princess in the royal family.

It seed that Ai Zhong had noticed her surprised expression, he let out a bitter smile, "Indeed, the royal family no longer has a fourth princess. At that ti, an incident occurred while we were in exile."

"What happened?"

He said, "During those years at the hospital, the queen was about to give birth. I had no choice but to disguise us as a brother and sister who had fled famine. The queen had to conceal her identity by pretending to be my sister. We were living in the hospital during that period of ti. It was there that we t your mother. At the ti, you had just been born."

"Ah, I was already born at that ti."

Ye Ning said.

"Yes, you weren’t very old when your mother brought you to the hospital. You had caught so kind of illness -- you were having difficulty breathing and your whole body was covered in red welts."
