Princess Pingrou said, "If Chen Nian was just a widow with a child, I would pity her. Although my Lu Yun is not a good person, it takes two to tango to get pregnant out of wedlock during the national mourning period. Who can be satisfied with such a daughter-in-law?"
Princess Pingrou's expression was not very good. "After all, it was Lu Yun who did the evil! No matter how dissatisfied I am, I can only take the trouble to take care of them! This Shen Nian is really confused. Isn't she afraid that our Lu family will not admit it and she will lose her reputation?"
Qi Yuning thought that Chen Nian would not cover up the marks on her neck, and she seemed to have deliberately let him see them before.
How could the Lu family deny it? Qi Yuning, considering that Shen Nian's biological father was his fourth uncle's benefactor, would never allow that little bald donkey Lu Yun to deny it.
Qi Yuning felt used and was very unhappy, but as Princess Pingrou said, Lu Yun had also done something wrong, and they would be a family after all, so she endured it.
However, her Qi family has paid off what it owed to Chen Nian's father.
Qi Yuning returned to the room. Lu Ze was still busy in the study in the front yard, so Qi Yuning went to the study in the front yard with the lunch box.
In the study in the front yard, Qi Yuning saw a thin man. His official robe was somewhat empty. It was the official uniform of a second-rank official. Qi Yuning couldn't help but take a few more glances at such a young court official.
"princess."
This was the second time Qi Yuning heard the title of princess. She smiled faintly and said, "No need to be polite."
Lu Ze looked at the food box that Qi Yuning brought and said, "Why bother making this trip in person? Can't you just ask the maid to come?"
Qi Yuning said, "It's not far. It's rare for me to go out today. I don't want to stay in the room if I get the chance."
"You'd better be careful, you're still weak!"
Qi Yuning smiled faintly at Lu Ze and said, "We're all in the sedan chair. I don't look so weak. Please enjoy your meal first."
Lu Ze looked at Qian Yun standing before him and said, "Minister Qian, why don't we have dinner together?"
Qian Yun responded, "Yes."
“He is Qian Yun?”
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze. You have to say, Lu Ze had a very good vision. Qian Yun had the words "lonely minister" written all over him. He came from the common people and had no connections in officialdom. It was amazing that he could climb to the position of minister in one go.
Although Qin Feng is also a young minister and Lu Ze can be considered a young junior minister, they all benefited from the influence of their ancestors.
Lu Ze nodded and said, "Yeah."
Qi Yuning said, "Take your time to enjoy your meal. I'm leaving first."
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand and said, "If I don't come back at night, you don't have to wait for me. Go to sleep first."
Qi Yuning agreed: "Okay."
…
The next day, Qi Yuning did not see Lu Ze when she woke up, but she saw a piece of paper left by Lu Ze, which said that he would be back home very late that day.
Qi Yuning looked at the paper left by Lu Ze and smiled faintly. He could have asked the maid to do something, but he had to waste a piece of fine rice paper.
Qi Yuning washed up, wrapped her headscarf around her head to block out the wind, and then went to find Princess Pingrou and went to the Shen Mansion together.
In the Shen Mansion.
When Ning Wen heard that Qi Yuning had just come out of confinement and was coming with Princess Pingrou, she went out to greet them, "Your Highness."
Princess Pingrou said, "No need to be polite."
Ning Wenlian said, "Please come inside and sit down."
Qi Yuning sat down below Princess Pingrou and took the tea served by the maid.
Princess Pingrou sighed towards Ning Wen and said, "Did your Chen Nian ever tell you that she is pregnant?"
Ning Wen had just sat down when she heard Princess Pingrou's words. The teacup in her hand almost fell to the ground. She kept catching it: "What?"
Princess Pingrou was shocked when she saw Ning Wen and said, "I guess she didn't feel comfortable telling you that she's pregnant with my daughter Yun'er's child. I came here today to discuss the marriage of our two children. We should get married as soon as the state mourning period ends. By then, she should be five months pregnant. She can bind her belly so it won't be noticeable during the wedding."
Ning Wen said: "This marriage is inappropriate!"
Princess Pingrou looked at Ning Wen and frowned, "She is already pregnant, what's wrong with the marriage?"
Ning Wen looked at Princess Pingrou and said, "I just learned about this matter. Your Highness, please wait a moment. Let me go talk to Shen Nian."
Princess Pingrou said, "Yes."
Ning Wenlian went to Chen Nian's courtyard and saw Chen Nian holding Han Ge'er's hand and teaching him to pick up fallen leaves, so she said, "Niannian, come in with me."
Shen Nian followed Ning Wen inside and asked, "What's the matter, stepmother?"
Ning Wen stared at Shen Nian's belly and asked, "Are you pregnant? Is it Lu Yun's child? Why are you so confused?!"
Shen Nian knelt in front of Ning Wen and said, "Foster mother."
Ning Wen frowned and said, "You have been with me since you were five years old. I never thought you would do such a shameless thing. Lu Yun is not a good man. Although he has a good family background, he is not a good person after all!
Just because he became a monk before getting married, he made Princess Qi lose face and did not take the Qi family army seriously. Every descendant of the Qi family army should dislike him!
You are so good! Why would you covet such a rich and noble man? Do you think the princess and the duke will like you if you marry him because of his status as a mother? "
Shen Nian whispered, "Stepmother, I'm not greedy for wealth, it's just that Han'er is so pitiful. He told people to recognize Lu Yun as his biological father at that time. I don't want Han'er to live a life without a father. Lu Yun at least takes good care of Han'er sincerely."
Ning Wenyan said, "Poor Han'er? Poor Han'er means you gave him a younger brother or sister when he was just over a year old?"
Shen Nian lowered her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to give birth to this child.”
