Chapter 428: Hard life

But fortunately, Lu Qiniang was fine.

No matter who she gives birth to the child for, Zhang Heyao hopes she can live well.

Lu Qiniang is the way he came from.

You can dislike it, but you can’t live without it.

If anything happened to Lu Qiniang, he would be truly alone in this world.

"You, take good care of yourself." Zhang Heyao said with difficulty, and even felt that he was not the one speaking.

"Yes." Lu Qiniang agreed.

Zhang Heyao looked so embarrassed that she couldn't say anything unpleasant.

"Okay, go back and get busy," Lu Qiniang said, "Aren't you very busy? Aunt Sang, please help me see Master Zhang off."

Zhang Heyao looked at her with complicated eyes and turned to leave.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

He had no intention of returning to the palace. He sat in the carriage and listened to the driver cautiously ask him where he was going. After thinking for a moment, he said, "To Baishi Hutong."

The driver was stunned and said yes repeatedly.

That is Zhang Heyao's private residence.

A place that Song Mingzhen didn’t know, or rather, even if he knew it, he wouldn’t expose it.

Because Zhang Heyao did not have a mistress, he would just go there alone occasionally.

Many of the things there were moved from the old house by Zhang Heyao.

The driver didn't understand why he did this.

If you want to reminisce about the past, why not just go to the old house? Why go through the trouble of moving somewhere else?

Sun Shun actually asked this question too.

Zhang Heyao curled the corners of his mouth at that time, and there was a bit of helplessness and self-mockery in his smile.

He said, "Shunzi, do you really think I can go back to that home?"

No more.

There are too many shadows of Lu Qi Niang.

He was reluctant to let go of the past, but he also couldn't allow himself to feel heartbroken every day.

It's okay to think of people when seeing things, but one cannot dwell on the past. He only allows himself a little indulgence occasionally.

Zhang Heyao stayed alone in his private residence until night before going home.

Song Mingzhen smiled and stood up to help him untie his cloak. He said calmly, "Where have you been? The palace has sent people to ask about it three times. If you ask me, how can I not live without you? You have carried most of such a heavy burden by yourself."

"Abandoned Mother is pregnant. I'm going to see her."

This matter cannot be concealed from anyone.

After all, he was too out of control.

And it is very likely that Song Mingzhen already knows it, but is just pretending to be ignorant.

It didn't matter. He was very tired today and didn't feel like playing coy with her, so he just took the initiative to expose her.

"Pregnant?" Song Mingzhen was stunned.

Whether it was real or feigned, the surprise looked genuine.

"Congratulations to her and Xiao Yan." Song Mingzhen handed the cloak to Shuyu, feeling a little sad. "It's a pity that my pregnancy is not going well. Husband, why don't you buy a baby who can give birth easily? After all, we can't let the Zhang family's lineage die out."

"Let's talk about it later." Zhang Heyao said, "Let's eat. I'm hungry."

"good."

Several maids quickly brought in food boxes and placed eight dishes and a soup on the table.

This couple has always been very particular about food, clothing and other expenses, and is unwilling to compromise themselves.

"The previous cook always made the same old dishes over and over again, so I asked someone to replace her with a new one. Yaolang, try this."

Song Mingzhen personally served him soup.

But when she saw tofu in the soup, her face immediately fell and she scolded, "Didn't I tell you not to put tofu in it? The master in our family doesn't eat tofu."

Zhang Heyao really doesn't take advantage of others.

This is because he was tired of eating cabbage and tofu in the past.

Although it was tofu, Lu Qiniang herself couldn't bear to eat it and left it all for him.

But today Zhang Heyao was out of character, "I haven't eaten it for a long time, it might be a good idea to try it."

"Too."

Song Mingzhen served him a bowl of soup and placed it in front of him.

Zhang Heyao drank the whole bowl of soup.

After dinner, he said he had something else to deal with in the outer study, so Song Mingzhen didn't need to wait for him.

Song Mingzhen instructed the servant to remember to add the brazier, and asked someone to tell the kitchen to be ready for midnight snack at any time.

It can be said to be extremely caring.

Zhang Heyao walked away with a blank expression.

After he left, Song Mingzhen leaned on the small table and suddenly smiled.

"He really thinks of himself as a big shot now."

Shuyu stood aside with her hands hanging down, not daring to say a word.

As a bystander, she clearly saw that as Zhang Heyao became more and more favored by the emperor, he became more and more impatient with Song Mingzhen.

The man who used to wash Song Mingzhen's feet and serve her chicken soup is now contentedly enjoying Song Mingzhen's service.

"See, women can still talk about feelings. Even though he was penniless before, I married him and never treated him with contempt. But look at his attitude towards me now, hehe."

The arrogance is beyond words.

He was confident that no one could do anything to him and that all his future wealth and glory depended on him, so he was fearless.

Power is a good thing.

It can make a man so swollen.

"I originally thought that he would at least try to hide the fact that he went to see Lu Qi Niang today. But you see, he simply didn't bother to cover it up or explain. If Lu Qi Niang was willing, he would probably just carry her into the mansion."

Shuyu could only comfort her.

"My Lady, that won't happen. My Lord has always respected you, and there are no other people in the mansion. Even if someone wants to come in, they must get your approval."

"Haha, I'm afraid that if Lu Qi Niang agrees to him, he will get rid of me and make way for Lu Qi Niang."

"Princess, my Lord, you wouldn't..."

"He is so good." Song Mingzhen's eyes were cold, "No one knows him better than me."

Zhang Heyao's previous goal was fame, wealth and power, but he has already achieved it.

His possessive feelings towards Lu Qiniang have never changed.

It’s a pity that Lu Qiniang can control him and make him afraid to act rashly.

"Actually, I've always envied Lu Qiniang," Song Mingzhen said. "How many women can still be remembered by their former husbands after breaking up with them, or even marrying someone else? She did it."

Shuyu thought, isn’t it because Zhang Heyao owes others too much?

You envy, but what have you paid?

Are you pretending to be sincere in exchange for true feelings?

Shuyu saw it clearly and thought it was ridiculous, but she couldn't break free.

She thought, just endure it, and stay with these two moody, sinister and crazy men and women.

After sending her mother away, she will take them both with her to prove herself. If she doesn't, she will take someone with her!

Besides, Xiao Yan already knew that Zhang Heyao had broken into his house.

He didn't say anything in front of Lu Qiniang, but he discussed with Mr. Jiang about finding a few skilled bodyguards.

This kind of thing must never happen again.

Jiang Xuan quickly agreed.

Lu Qiniang didn't take this matter to heart.

——She had heard that Zhang Heyao was going to die, so she went to see him for the “last time”.

This time, it was Zhang Heyao who returned it to her.

But both of them are very strong and cannot die.

Then let’s all live well.
