After hearing what Qi Yuning said, Lin Jiang stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Princess Qi, Princess Lu."

"Uncle Lin Jiang, Uncle Qin Feng!"

Xiao Lingling called out in a polite and obedient manner, looking at Lu Ze, wanting to call him daddy, but she didn't shout out loud, just smiled at Lu Ze.

Lin Jiang and Qin Feng did not attend the banquet at Prince Qi's Mansion yesterday. When they saw Lingling's face today, they looked up at their good friend Lu Ze.

Lin Jiang lowered his head and touched Lingling's little head and said, "Are you the little princess of Xichang?"

Lingling nodded and said, "Yeah."

Lu Ze, despite everyone's questioning gazes, looked at Qi Yuning without any hesitation, "Princess Qi."

Qi Yuning bowed perfunctorily and said, "Prince Lu, Minister Qin, and Lord Lin."

Lu Baozhu was secretly thinking that her elder brother, who was always steady, calm and self-controlled, had even stolen Qi Yuning's hairpin because he liked Qi Yuning.

If he couldn't get the girl just because of this "vicious" sister-in-law, and if such a well-behaved Lingling called Lin Jiang "Daddy"...

Then I won’t be confined to my room by Lu Ze for life, right?

Lu Baozhu made up her mind and stepped forward to hold Lin Jiang's hand. She looked at Qi Yuning provocatively and said, "No matter how good Lin Jiang is, this princess has already set her eyes on him. Don't even think about marrying him!"

Lin Jiang was so frightened that he stood there, even pushing Lu Baozhu's hand away: "Lu, Princess Lu..."

Lu Ze glared at Lu Baozhu, "Baozhu, stop messing around!"

Lu Baozhu could only risk her dignity at this moment, and once again wrapped her arms around Lin Jiang and said, "I really have my eyes on Lin Jiang, brother, I will not marry anyone else but Lin Jiang in this life!"

Lu Ze had a headache, and Lin Jiang even took his hand back from Lu Baozhu. "Princess Lu, I'm sorry, I'm already engaged. The girl I'm engaged to is a daughter of the Wang family."

Qi Yuning smiled and said, "The Miss Wang is a very good girl. Now it seems that she is the most fortunate girl in Shengjing City. She has chosen the best man in Shengjing City."

Lin Jiang smiled softly, "Thank you, Princess Qi, for the compliment."

Qi Yuning also smiled and said, "Master Lin, you are too polite. I am just telling the truth."

When Qi Yuning looked up, she saw Lu Ze looking at her.

Qi Yuning took Lingling's hand and said, "Lingling, let's go home."

…

In the mansion of Duke Lu.

Prince Consort Lu looked helplessly at his sick mother and said, "Mother, Ze'er's status is extraordinary. His marriage is not something that Your Highness and I can easily decide. His Majesty has always doted on Ze'er, Yun'er, and the others..."

Madam Lu said angrily, "What doting ...

Prince Consort Lu said, "Mother, Princess Qi's child is not someone else's, but Ze'er's. Therefore, Ze'er really cannot marry Miss Guan. Ze'er must marry Princess Qi and be responsible for her and Lingling."

Mrs. Lu hadn't seen Lingling yesterday and didn't know what she looked like. When she heard that she was Lu Ze's daughter, she slammed the table in anger.

"Zer is so confused! Qi Yuning is Zeer's daughter and is also engaged to Yuner. Isn't this a mess? A shameless bitch like Qi Yuning can never dream of becoming the wife of the Lu family!"

Prince Consort Lu said, "Mother, a child cannot be born by one person alone. Even if Princess Qi doesn't follow the rules, how much better can Ze'er be? You'd better be careful with your words!"

Madam Lu was so angry that she was shaking. "Zer must not marry Qi Yuning. Qi Yuning is extravagant and has no virtues of a woman from an aristocratic family. How can she be worthy of the Lu family's wife? Not to mention that she is shameless enough to get pregnant before marriage, which shows that she has a bad character!"

Prince Consort Lu said, "Then Ze'er made Princess Qi pregnant before marriage. Isn't that even more depraved? Who would be willing to marry Ze'er? They wouldn't dislike each other anymore, and now they have a daughter..."

Madam Lu said, "The daughter of the Guan family is willing to marry Ze'er!"

Madam Lu said, "Guan Zhiyi is worthy of being the wife of our Lu family. She has always been known for her virtue and is a good housekeeper. She will definitely be able to take care of her husband and children in the future, instead of just looking at her three children like her."

Prince Consort Lu knew that she was Princess Pingrou, and said, "Mother, the princess also wants Qi Yuning to be her daughter-in-law."

Madam Lu was so angry that she smashed the cup in her hand and said, "I will never allow Qi Yuning to enter my Lu family. Ze'er's wife will only be Guan Zhiyi!"

Prince Consort Lu sighed and said, "Mother, why do you have to make yourself angry? Is Guan Zhiyi really that good?"

Madam Lu said, "Of course. If it weren't for your kindness, I, an old woman, would have lost my life long ago. We in the Lu family cannot repay kindness with hatred!"

"The news of Zhiyi and Ze'er's engagement has spread throughout Shengjing City. Now that you don't recognize this marriage, how can Zhiyi still have the nerve to live?"

Madam Lu slammed the small table beside her and said, "If you insist that Qi Yuning enter the Lu family and marry Ze'er, then let Qi Yuning be the concubine and Miss Guan be the principal wife!"

As Consort Lu listened to Madam Lu's increasingly outrageous remarks, he said helplessly, "Mother, I'm not here to discuss this with you. His Highness said that it's impossible for Guan Zhiyi to become Crown Prince Ze'er's consort..."

Madam Lu said, "Okay, okay, okay, you are the prince consort, you can even be unfilial to your mother who gave birth to you and raised you!"

With the label of being unfilial pressed upon him, Prince Consort Lu felt extremely helpless and stood up to return to the princess's residence.

In the princess's mansion, Princess Pingrou glanced at Prince Consort Lu.

Prince Consort Lu said, "Your Highness, my mother..."

Princess Pingrou knew he was incompetent and angrily said, "Your mother is still determined to pick Guan Zhiyi? Let me tell you, if she really likes Guan Zhiyi so much, she would let her son marry her!"
