Chapter 122 Duke Yun is going crazy

"I don't know who's right or wrong about Xiao Yan's matter. He didn't mention it to me, so I didn't ask." Lu Qiniang said, "But I feel that life is much better now than when I was a child. The emperor is a good emperor."

Mr. Li laughed.

Teng Wenfu suspected that Lu Qiniang already knew the emperor's identity.

But looking at her eyes again, it's completely different.

"You may not know this, but the Emperor has waived the head tax." Lu Qiniang beamed with joy. "My family saves two and a half taels of silver a year! That's enough to support a family."

"When will you have a baby?" asked Mr. Li.

Lu Qiniang was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed. "I was talking to you seriously, why are you not serious anymore? Daya and I are going to cook."

With that, she ran into the kitchen.

Mr. Li was amused and said to Xiao Yan, "Why, you don't plan to give me a great-grandson?"

"She is not in good health, let's wait a little longer." Xiao Yan said softly.

"She's not feeling well?" Mr. Li's smile faded a little. "She's lost weight, I see. Is she sick?"

"No, I had a serious illness before and never recovered."

Xiao Yan was not speaking nonsense.

A few days ago, Lu Qiniang went to the cloth shop to buy cloth to make summer clothes for the whole family.

She specifically asked for some expensive fine cotton cloth, but only a small amount. She also bought some cotton, and when she came back, she pulled Daya into the house and whispered to herself.

However, Xiao Yan had very good hearing and understood that she was talking about girls' matters.

Daya hasn't had her first period yet, but it should be soon, so Lu Qiniang asked her to prepare.

She didn't let Daya use wood ash, saying that she shouldn't be stingy with the money.

Xiao Yan realized belatedly that even though they had been sleeping in the same bed for a long time, Lu Qiniang had never had this problem.

He went to ask Doctor Hu.

Doctor Hu said angrily, "It's good enough to be alive. Do you know what it means to be sick like a mountain falling and go away like a thread being pulled out?"

Doctor Hu said that if Lu Qiniang lost more weight, her body functions would return to normal.

Xiao Yan waited anxiously.

It’s not that he wants anything, but he wants Lu Qiniang to recover completely.

These things cannot be explained in too much detail to outsiders.

"Will it affect the offspring?" asked Mr. Li.

"Just take your time to recuperate. As for having children, let fate take its course." Xiao Yan said, "The three of Zhao Zhao and the others are enough."

Mr. Li didn't say anything, but just asked, "Is Zhao Zhao the boss?"

"Um."

"She seems to me to be a steady and calm person," said Master Li. "Is she married?"

Xiao Yan's heart tightened, but he remained expressionless. "She's not married yet, but Qi Niang wants to keep her for a few more years and is considering finding a son-in-law. She's still looking for a good one."

It is not a good thing to be matched up by the emperor.

He even suspected that the emperor wanted to pair Daya and Yun Ting, but he would definitely not agree.

Mr. Li didn't say anything else.

While eating, Lu Qiniang was more thoughtful this time and went out to look for her "second brother".

But this time, she only saw the carriage and no one.

"Second Brother Lu, Second Brother Lu—" she shouted at the top of her voice, "It's time to eat!"

Lu Jin almost fell off the lush mulberry tree.

"Don't shout here," he said helplessly.

"Hey, why are you climbing up the tree? Mulberries are delicious, right? If you want some, tell me or I'll hit you with a stick! Come down quickly before you get your clothes dirty. We're going to eat, and we can't leave you behind this time."

Lu Jin: "...I, I'm not hungry."

He was afraid that he would suffer from indigestion when eating with the emperor.

"Look, why are you being so polite? Come on, come on!"

Lu Jin was speechless and followed in silently.

Lu Jin refused to eat at the same table with Master Li, but it was impossible to have three tables, so he squeezed in at Lu Qiniang's table.

Mr. Li, Xiao Yan and Yun Ting were at the same table.

While eating with relish, Ah Huang barked "woof woof woof" to the outside world.

"Who is it?" Lu Qiniang went out to open the door with a lantern in hand and saw a man she didn't recognize standing at the door. "Who are you looking for? What's going on?"

"I'm just passing by and want to ask for some water to drink." The middle-aged man hesitated.

Lu Qiniang looked him up and down in the light of the lantern and suddenly laughed.

"You are the Duke of Yun, right?"

Duke Yun: “!!!”

"Why, is there something written on my face?"

"No, it's mainly because Yun Ting looks too much like you." Lu Qiniang smiled, "Looking at your outfit and thinking about Yun Ting, I guessed it. You must be worried, so come and see him. Come in."

"No," Duke Yun said proudly, "I was just passing by and was thirsty, so I asked for a drink. That bastard, I'm just annoying when I see him."

"She's your biological child." Lu Qiniang let the other person in. "Don't be too harsh. She's clearly thinking about him but won't admit it. Yun Ting isn't the type to overthink things. Wouldn't that easily alienate father and son?"

She was very polite to Duke Yun.

This is the highest-ranking official she has ever seen!

"Master Li, Xiao Yan, Duke Yun is here!"

What he meant was, you guys should get up quickly and give someone the seat at the top.

Xiao Yan and the others stood up, but Master Li remained motionless, as steady as a rock.

When Duke Yun saw the people in the yard clearly, he was stunned and felt like he was struck by lightning.

Who can tell him why the emperor is here?

Just as he was about to kneel down, Teng Wenfu supported him.

Duke Yun had a very good personal relationship with him, so he understood immediately but was at a loss as to how to address him.

Lu Qinniang also had a feeling of collapse, like "Oh my God".

Was her voice not loud enough?

The Duke is here!

Master Li, you are a master, but you can't compare with the Duke.

"Duke, Master Li is a little hard of hearing." Lu Qiniang explained awkwardly. At the same time, she went over and pulled Master Li, saying loudly, "Duke Yun, the Duke is here!"

"I heard it." Master Li said, still standing still.

Lu Qiniang was anxious and smiled awkwardly, "My waist hurts, Master Li's waist hurts, he can't move."

An idea struck her, and she suddenly said, "Yun Ting, the Duke is here. You and your son, go in and talk for a while. Father and son don't hold grudges overnight!"

"I don't!" Yun Ting was still awkward.

Duke Yun, however, was as if he had been pardoned. "Okay, okay, follow me!"

He pulled Yun Ting.

"Here." Erya pointed to the room where Yunting lived.

Duke Yun dragged Yun Ting in.

Lu Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to talk to Mr. Li about it, but then she thought again, as a junior, it would not be appropriate for her to blame her elders.

And Duke Yun didn't seem to mind, so forget it.

As a good friend, Teng Wenfu was really worried about Duke Yun.

Erya, the clever one, whispered to Lu Qin's mother, "Mother, mother, it's the Duke!"

"I know, what are you yelling for?"

"Mom, let's tell the Duke about the bullying and let him help us deal with it!" Erya was in high spirits.

Yun Ting didn't bring any reinforcements, but the reinforcements came to him.

Yun Ting eats and drinks for free at their house, shouldn't Duke Yun show some appreciation?

"Who bullied you?" Master Li asked in a deep voice.
