Lu Cheng's voice conveyed a sense of utter despair.

But no one sympathized with him; they just wanted to laugh.

Tang Ze and the Prince of Yanping laughed unrestrainedly, while the others were more reserved, but their shoulders were still shaking violently.

Lu Cheng looked annoyed as he laughed, but since he was wearing a mask, no one could see it.

Tang Ze laughed for a while before remembering to ask, "What did you do to upset your parents this time?"

Lu Cheng said dejectedly, "Can I say that I did nothing wrong and that I was completely innocent in this beating?"

"impossible."

Prince Yanping and Tang Ze spoke in unison.

There might be cases where you're wrongly beaten by your father, but if you're beaten by both your father and mother, there's absolutely no way you're wrongly beaten.

They were all only children, and their parents doted on them from a young age, spoiling them so much that they became fearless and reckless. Later, they started getting beaten, and after that, they couldn't stop.

Although I was beaten a lot, I can honestly say that none of the beatings were innocent.

Therefore, they were particularly curious about how Lu Cheng got beaten up, especially since even the Lady of Xuanping Marquis was so angry that she took action.

The two men stared at Lu Cheng with probing eyes, leaving Lu Cheng no choice but to speak. He said, "It's all about that time I copied Buddhist scriptures."

Tang Ze said, "Isn't that matter in the past?"

Lu Cheng copied Buddhist scriptures, which ended with him being beaten first, and then getting engaged.

Lu Cheng was severely beaten back then; there's no reason to bring up old grievances after so many days.

Lu Cheng said, frustrated, "This matter is over for me, but it's not over for my parents, and besides—"

"I'll never get over this in my life."

Everyone looked at Lu Cheng, completely bewildered.

There's nothing that you can't get over in your lifetime, right?

When I asked, it turned out there really was one.

Well, Lu Cheng got this beating because he wanted to marry Yun Rui, but was afraid that his parents, Marquis Xuanping and his wife, would not agree. So he came up with a plan to open the window and lift the roof, making his parents misunderstand that he wanted to become a monk, and then agree to let him marry Yun Rui.

Lu Cheng felt that his plan was good and the facts were not bad, but a little mishap occurred in the middle. His uncle saw him climbing over the wall into the Xianggu Pavilion and told his mother about it.

In his mother's eyes, he was seen as a homosexual, and knowing that this was wrong, he had the idea of ​​becoming a monk to sever his seven emotions and six desires.

His mother still loved him very much. His uncle told his mother about it, but she didn't tell his father, fearing that he would beat him to death in a fit of anger.

This worry tormented his mother, making it difficult for her to eat or sleep. In order to save his life, and also because she feared that the Xuanping Marquis's family line would end, she began to consider having another son...

His mother felt that as long as she was pregnant, even if his homosexuality was exposed and his father was so angry that he wanted to beat him to death, he would tolerate it because she was pregnant. After all, it hurts a mother's heart to hit her son.

I've wanted to have another child for so many years, but I haven't been able to. I've consulted doctors and physicians, and they all say that getting pregnant isn't something you can just do on a whim.

Lady Xuanping was anxious to save her son and thought that Doctor Tao was a good doctor, so she wanted to ask him to take a look. Yes, that's when she invited Doctor Tao to her mansion at the palace banquet that day.

Doctor Tao took the pulse of Lady Xuanping and found it to be normal. Lady Xuanping then asked him if she could still have more children at her age, which stunned Doctor Tao. After all, Doctor Tao had met Lu Cheng before. His son was already of marriageable age, and the mother still wanted to have another child. How could she be so foolish?

If you like raising children, why not just have a grandchild?

Doctor Tao didn't understand, but since Lady Xuanping had made this request, he, as her doctor, would certainly try to help her fulfill it.

Lady Xuanping was fine, so Doctor Tao prescribed a formula to help her conceive. However, considering that Lady Xuanping and Marquis Xuanping had only had one son, the heir apparent, over the years, Doctor Tao thought that if Lady Xuanping was fine, then perhaps Marquis Xuanping might be the problem. So he decided to take Marquis Xuanping's pulse.

Marquis Xuanping was puzzled at the time, wondering why he was being examined when he was not sick or in pain. Marquis Xuanping's wife said that it was not easy to invite Doctor Tao, so she would just take his pulse to check for his well-being.

Marquis Xuanping had no suspicions and sat down to have Doctor Tao take his pulse. He didn't say anything wrong with him, but prescribed a remedy and told him to take it for seven days.

Doctor Tao's medical skills are widely recognized. All the doctors in the capital couldn't cure Prince Ling's leg ailment, but Doctor Tao could cure it instantly. If Doctor Tao prescribed medicine, then of course we had to take it.

药刚吃完，陆乘就因为大半夜翻墙出府搞事被自家亲爹发现，宣平侯夫人知道自己儿子根本没想出家，只是想娶云蕊，气的当时就给宣平侯递鸡毛掸子，让他把这混账东西揍一顿。

Lady Xuanping, who had been worried for many days, was finally relieved. She stopped taking her medicine and happily prepared betrothal gifts to go to the Yun family to present her betrothal gifts. She hoped to marry the heir apparent as soon as possible and give her a little grandson.

These days, Lady Xuanping has been extremely busy, but this morning she felt nauseous.

At first, I thought it was because of the heat, since she had gone out to pick out jewelry for the betrothal gifts yesterday and had walked around several streets. I thought she had heatstroke.

They invited a doctor into the house to take her pulse, and it turned out she was pregnant.

Lady Xuanping's face turned green; she felt no joy, only anger.

She and Marquis Xuanping always felt that having only one son, Lu Cheng, was too lonely. After Lu Cheng was born, they wanted to give him a younger brother or sister. They worked on this for ten years. Later, when Lu Cheng grew up, Marquis Xuanping gave up the idea. She thought that it would be fine if her son gave her two more grandsons after he got married.

As a result, Lu Cheng copied Buddhist scriptures and went in and out of the Elephant Maiden's Pavilion, which frightened Lady Xuanping, and that's when she had this idea again.

Lady Xuanping was furious. Not to mention the hardships of pregnancy, the problem was that she was already thirty-six, the age to be a grandmother, and she was pregnant. People would laugh at her to death.

Previously, in order to save her son, Lady Xuanping disregarded her reputation, but now things are different.

Lady Xuanping was truly surprised by Doctor Tao's medical skills. She was even more surprised that her inability to conceive over the years was not her problem, but rather that the problem lay with the Marquis of Xuanping.

Marquis Xuanping was quite happy, but when his wife found his smile annoying, she mentioned the medicine that Doctor Tao had prescribed for him, and Marquis Xuanping could no longer smile.

And then—

Lu Cheng then received a double beating from his parents.

His father hit him, but he could still dodge.

He wouldn't dare dodge when his mother hit him; if she chased him away and he bumped into something, his father would really beat him to death.

Speaking of this undeserved disaster, Lu Cheng's heart was shattered into pieces. What broke his heart even more was that after hearing the story, Prince Yanping and Tang Ze not only showed no sympathy for him, but also laughed so hard that they almost fell off their horses.

He only copied a few Buddhist scriptures; who knew it would cause so much trouble?

depressed.

Wei Huan, riding on horseback, couldn't help but laugh, his gaze towards Yun Qi filled with envy.

Yun Qi said he had made several good brothers who were generous and easy to get along with. Meeting them today, it was indeed true.
