Shen Nian listened to the words inside and looked at Qi Yuning's bulging belly. In the summer, the thin clothes just showed off her belly shape.

"Princess, why are you here too?"

Lu Ze asked, "Isn't there no one in the Qi family?"

Lu Ze's tone was calm, but Shen Nian could hear a hint of complaint in it.

After Lu Ze and Qi Yuning left, Shen Nian belatedly remembered that she was once a member of the Qi family.

After Qi Yuning got on the sedan chair, Lu Ze did not follow in the sedan chair, but just rode a horse beside Qi Yuning's sedan chair.

Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning in the sedan chair, "Even if no one from the Qi family comes to offer condolences today, it's rude, but I don't think Uncle Xu will say anything. So why would you go there with your child?"

Qi Yuning listened to the unhappy voice and said, "I know my own body well. I care about the baby in my belly more than anyone else. I just don't want the Qi family to lose their connections in Shengjing City. That's all. Don't blame me anymore."

Lu Ze said, "I'm just saying something to you, not blaming you."

Qi Yuning touched her belly and said, "What I said is not blaming you. You have never spoken to me in this tone before. Are you the same as Lu Baozhu? Do you think that since I am married into your Lu family, I have to obey you in everything?"

Qi Yuning was so angry that he lowered the carriage curtain.

Lu Ze was actually angered by Qi Yuning's words. "If I hadn't seen you looking at Cousin Fang crying, why would I have bothered to say all this? You really don't know how to appreciate kindness."

Qi Yuning opened the carriage curtain and glared at Lu Ze, "Who are you calling a dog?"

Lu Ze said, "I didn't say I was Lü Dongbin."

Qi Yuning lowered the carriage curtain, and tears welled up in her eyes for some reason. She always thought tears were useless.

When she had an argument with Qin Yuli as a child, she felt extremely disgusted when she saw Qin Yuli crying to gain sympathy from adults.

I don’t know if it was because of the pregnancy, but she actually started crying just because of a few words of bickering with Lu Ze.

The more I don’t want to cry, the more I can’t stop my tears.

When getting off the sedan chair, Qi Yuning wiped her tears with a handkerchief. After getting off the sedan chair, you could still see tears in her eyes.

Seeing Qi Yuning's tearful face, Lu Ze was about to leave, but he dismounted and walked to her side, "Why are you crying?"

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "I'm crying because you called me a dog. It seems like after marrying you, you don't know how to cherish me! I might as well go back to my parents' home."

Qi Yuning withdrew his foot just as he was about to step into the princess's mansion and went straight to Prince Qi's mansion nearby.

Lu Zelian followed and said, "Why don't you cherish me? I didn't say you were a dog."

"Isn't the previous sentence about not knowing how to appreciate kindness a bit like a dog biting Lu Dongbin?" Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "How dare you say you didn't say it."

After Qi Yuning entered the palace, he ordered the palace servants to close the side door heavily. Lu Ze was frustrated and felt that Qi Yuning was inexplicable.

It was inappropriate for her to go to the palace to pay her respects today because she was pregnant, but he did not blame her. He just said a few words, and she started crying and wanted to go back to her parents' home. So he went straight to the palace to do his business.

At dusk.

Qi Yuning was looking at the small fish that Lingling had previously raised in the lotus tank in Chunjiang Courtyard. The image of Lingling lying in front of the tank and calling out to the small fish, "Grow up quickly, little fish," was still vivid in his mind.

Lingling has always wanted to eat the fish in this water tank. Now the fish have grown up and can be eaten, but Lingling thinks it will take many years before she can eat these fish.

I don’t know if these fish can survive until Lingling comes out.

After dinner, Qi Yuning returned to his room to rest and picked up a book to read.

Lichun and Chunfen looked at each other in bewilderment. It was Chunfen who stepped forward boldly and said, "Princess, it's almost dark now. We should go back."

Qi Yuning snorted, "Where to go back to?"

Chunfen pointed to the princess's mansion next door. Seeing this, Qi Yuning said, "I won't go back."

…

In the princess's mansion.

Lu Baozhu changed her clothes and came to have dinner. She said to Princess Pingrou, "Cousin Fang cried in my arms all day today. It was really tragic."

Princess Pingrou sighed and said, "Fang'er is a child with a miserable life. Where's Yuning? Didn't she come back with you?"

Lu Baozhu said: "She came back with my brother a long time ago."

"No." Princess Pingrou frowned and said, "Yu Ning hasn't come back all day."

By chance, Princess Pingrou saw Lu Ze enter and asked, "Where's Yuning?"

Lu Ze glanced at the table and saw that Qi Yuning was not there. He frowned slightly and asked, "She hasn't returned yet?"

Princess Pingrou asked, "Where did she go?"

Lu Ze pursed his lips gently and said, "I'll go find her."

Lu Ze went straight to Prince Qi's mansion next door. Apparently, no matter what, the guards at the mansion were unwilling to open the door for him. The same thing happened when he reached the side door in the backyard.

"Master Lu, please don't embarrass us. The princess said you are not allowed to come in!"

"We can only obey the princess's orders."

When Lu Ze saw the tall walls of Prince Qi's Mansion, his brows furrowed even more.

"Brother, are you making Qi Yuning so angry that she's going back to her parents' home? You're really capable!" Lu Yun leaned against the side door of the princess's residence and gave Lu Ze a thumbs up. "You're truly a role model for our generation! You've avenged me!"

Lu Ze glared at Lu Yun, "You want to go to North City, right?"

Lu Yun shook his head repeatedly and said, "No! Don't let me go to North City. I'll tell you a place that will take you into the palace."

Lu Ze looked at Lu Yun, obviously agreeing.

Lu Yun pulled Lu Ze to a dog hole. "I'm afraid even the people in the palace don't know where this dog hole is. Only I know it. Go in. I tried it before and it worked, but I almost got stuck."
