   Chen Xiaoyan's father, Chen Erniu, picked up a mentally challenged boy on the street. After staying with the Chen family for a few days, the boy started calling Chen Xiaoyan "father" and "mother," and even called her "wife." The Chen family considered having the boy marry into their family, but it turned out the boy's identity was astonishing—he was actually the Prince of Cheng'an of the current dynasty. The Chen family gave up their idea, but the prince wouldn't have it. He started clinging to his wife, wanting to be close to her. And then, things got out of hand: the prince had three children in two years! The Goddess of Mercy had come to grant them children again! Five years later, the prince returned home crying, complaining: "Wife, my son has drowned my ant nest!"
