When Madam Wu saw her daughter, she didn't know when the Marquis of Pingyang would return, but she had already comforted Wu Ziya: "The Marquis will be back soon, and you still look so depressed. Why don't you wash your face and put on your makeup? Have someone do a facial for you and take good care of yourself so that when the Marquis returns, he will see you as bright and sunny as ever."

Wu Ziya was just thinking about how to win over Lu Yan. When she heard what Madam Wu said, she immediately had someone help her with her makeup, choosing clothes and jewelry, and also had someone mix some powder to apply on her face. After all the busy work, she looked radiant. She looked at Madam Wu happily and was about to say something when she heard a servant come in and announce, "The Marquis is back!"

Wu Ziya's eyes lit up, she glanced at Madam Wu, and immediately stood up and ran out.

This time, Lu Yan returned home officially, unlike last time when he left in a hurry without informing anyone.

This time, the servant rode back to the mansion at full speed to report. Old Madam Lu should have been in her Ci'an Courtyard, waiting for Lu Yan to come over and kowtow, but she couldn't wait any longer, so she brought Wu Ziya, Bai Wanyi, the younger generations in the mansion, and the guest, Madam Wu, to wait in the main hall in the front yard.

Half an hour later, Lu Yan, who had returned to the palace to report, arrived home exhausted. It was not appropriate for Aunt Jia and Jia Yue to appear in such an occasion, so they could only enter through the side door, one back to her own courtyard, and the other back to her own room in the main courtyard, waiting to pay their respects to Wu Ziya the next day, and then report their experiences in the past few months.

When Lu Yan saw Old Lady Lu, he quickly stepped forward to greet her: "Grandson greets Grandmother. Grandson is back."

Old Lady Lu's eyes were filled with tears. Her grandson's contribution this time was not small. He should be promoted! She was very satisfied: "Good, good, it's good to be back. You are darker and thinner. Are you not injured?"

Lu Yan said: "No."

Old Lady Lu asked Lu Yan some questions about his daily life, and then said to him, "Your mother-in-law is here, go and meet her quickly."

Lu Yan stepped forward to greet him.

How could Madam Wu really accept such a gift from a Marquis? She quickly stood up and gave him a false helping hand: "No need to be so polite. My family is worried about me when I'm away from home. Come and see Yu'er."

Lu Yan could only pass by and looked at Bai Wanyi and his son eagerly, then looked at Wu Ziya: "You have worked hard during this period. Don't take the miscarriage to heart. We are still young and can have children in the future."

The last time Lu Yan came back, it was only to end the lawsuit between Bai Wanyi and Wu Ziya. He roughly asked the doctor about Wu Ziya's awareness of pregnancy, but did not ask in detail about her physical condition after the miscarriage. Now, this question directly touched Mrs. Wu's lungs.

Mrs. Wu had never dared to tell Wu Ziya that she was afraid she would have difficulty having children in the future. However, seeing Wu Ziya's shy expression, she sighed and said, "Let's take it slow. What if?" Some people, even though the doctor said it was difficult to get pregnant, still gave birth to children. It's good to have some hope.

Wu Ziya looked at Lu Yan eagerly and pulled his sleeve without caring about who was around. "Husband, it was my fault last time. Please don't be angry with me."

"I'm not angry." Lu Yan smiled and held Wu Ziya's hand, holding her in his arms. After being with Bai Wanyi for a long time, he was accustomed to doing some intimate actions in public.

Lu Yan held Wu Ziya in his arms, but looked at Bai Wanyi with some concern in his eyes.

Bai Wanyi was exceptionally considerate and sensible today. She nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Yan, you must be tired after coming back. I've already asked the kitchen to prepare food. How about we eat first, and then you and I can go and rest?"

Lu Yan nodded.

Mrs. Wu said goodbye at the right time: "I've been here long enough, it's time to go back."

Old Lady Lu hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay: "Yan'er is back, and there will be a banquet at the mansion. You should also stay for a meal."

Madam Wu smiled and said, "Now that Marquis Pingyang has returned, you two must have a lot to talk about. It would be inconvenient for me to be here. When we return, let Marquis Pingyang take Yu'er back with him. Then, let the father-in-law and son-in-law have a good chat."

Only then did Old Lady Lu stop trying to persuade him to stay.

Bai Wanyi and Wu Ziya did not compete for favor, and among the younger generations, there was no one like Lu Linglong who was jumping up and down for attention. In addition, Lu Lingjiao had been miraculously quiet recently, so the meal went peacefully.

After dinner, Wu Ziya pulled Lu Yan back to the room. She was so gentle and considerate that even if Lu Yan had other concerns in his mind, he put them aside at this moment.

When they were in the thick of love, Wu Ziya looked at the ceiling and suddenly asked, "My dear, who is prettier, me or Miss Qin?"

Lu Yan was stunned and suddenly lost interest. He turned over and lay on the pillow, his eyes falling on the furnishings in the dormitory.

He didn't say anything, but all he could think about was Qin Wan.

Initially, after Qin Wan moved in, the main courtyard was not renovated much, except for many of her furnishings and decorations.

However, Lu Yan had only seen it once. At that time, he only felt that the Qiangongbabu bed in the dormitory was really big, and the layout of the room was very elegant and grand. He liked it very much.

The main courtyard today was demolished and rebuilt, and it no longer looks like it did before, and it looks very unfamiliar.

Wu Ziya was a little unhappy when she saw Lu Yan was silent. She gently pushed his shoulder and said, "Husband, why are you silent? Who is prettier, me or Miss Qin?"

Lu Yan turned his head and looked at her coldly. He stood up without saying a word, picked up his clothes, put them on, and walked out.

Wu Ziya didn't expect that the man who was so affectionate just now would become so cold and indifferent. She quickly pulled Lu Yan's arm and said, "Husband...ah!"

Wu Ziya stretched out her hand but was pulled away, and she fell to the ground. She shouted unwillingly: "She is about to enter the palace to become the Crown Princess! Why are you still thinking about her!"

Lu Yan paused, turned around and looked at Wu Ziya: "What did you say?"

Wu Ziya looked up at Lu Yan, feeling sad. She fell down, but he didn't ask her if it hurt, but asked about Qin Wan!

Tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks, and she laughed at herself. "What did I say? I was talking about Qin, who was going to enter the palace to become the Crown Princess. Why are you still thinking about her? Is she really that good? If she were so good, why did you marry Bai in the first place? Now that Qin is gone, do you know how to cherish her? Hahaha! I'm so ridiculous. You're thinking about someone else, but I'm thinking about marrying you."

Wu Ziya touched the pale red scar on her face and suddenly shouted, "She's getting married! She's going to be the Crown Princess! From now on, you have to bow to her when you see her! Do you understand?"

The nurse was at the door. When she heard Wu Ziya's cry, her heart skipped a beat. "Oh no!" She had been told time and again not to mention Qin Wan's affairs and to win over the Marquis, but why didn't she listen?

The wet nurse was hesitating at the door whether to go in, when she saw the door was slammed open and Lu Yan rushed out like a gust of wind.

The nurse saw Wu Ziya lying on the ground in the room and felt distressed. She hurried in and helped her up: "Miss, why are you doing this?"
