Lu Ze untied Qi Yuning's belt with a single hand and chuckled, "You've already sent the maid out. Isn't it to give Lingling a brother or sister?"
Qi Yuning hit Lu Ze's hand, then tied her belt tightly and glared at him angrily: "Can you be more serious?"
Lu Ze chuckled, held Qi Yuning in his arms and sat down, saying, "Didn't you ask the maid to leave first?"
Qi Yuning said: "That's because I have something important to tell you. I went to the Prince of Jin's Mansion today and learned from the Prince of Jin that Chen Nian was buying infertility medicine."
Lu Ze was stunned and asked, "What infertility medicine?"
Qi Yuning said, "I heard from Prince Jin that these are contraceptive drugs passed down from the ancestors of those old aristocratic families. I looked at some of the drugs and they are very cold for women. Prince Jin said that Chen Nian bought several sets of contraceptive drugs in his pharmacy."
Lu Ze said, "Logically, you and I shouldn't interfere in what happens in my brother's room. Didn't Chen Nian use the excuse of having a child to get into the Lu family? Now she's using contraceptive pills. I wonder what she's up to!"
Qi Yuning said: "The reason why I know that Chen Nian is using the sterilizing drug is because Prince Jin is also using the sterilizing drug on his concubines in the backyard, because he doesn't want to give Princess Rong a brother or sister.
I've always found it strange why Shen Nian would go to such lengths to marry Lu Yun. That little bald donkey Lu Yun didn't need Shen Nian to go through all this trouble. Now I understand..."
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "So, I wanted to find a father for Han Ge'er. Even though this father is unreliable and he's still a child himself, when Han Ge'er started to recognize people, he regarded Lu Yun as his biological father."
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Do you think so too?"
Lu Ze looked down on his brother and said, "Otherwise, what could Lu Yun have that was worthy of Shen Nian's attention?"
Qi Yuning said, "And family background? But Shen Nian doesn't seem to be someone who values family background."
Lu Ze said: "It is understandable that Chen Nian wants to find a father for her son, but it is immoral to give up the bloodline of the Lu family for the sake of her son. The Lu family's ancestral precepts do not allow concubines. She wants to cut off the incense of Lu Yun's lineage, which is of course not allowed.
You can go and give her some advice later. If she changes her ways, it's fine. The family will always be harmonious. If she doesn't want to change and is determined to take the sterilization medicine, you still have to let Lu Yun know about it. Even if it means being laughed at for getting a divorce right after the wedding, Lu Yun must not be used by her like this."
Qi Yuning chuckled and said, "Lu Yun really deserves it. Shen Nian has finally gotten rid of my anger!"
Lu Ze said, "Let's put it this way. Lu Yun has suffered enough. Shen Nian isn't trying to help you avenge Lu Yun. She's just being selfish for her son. My brother may be incredibly clueless, but he's a simple person after all."
Qi Yuning snorted softly, "So what you did was simply to become a monk and escape from marriage before marriage?"
Lu Ze didn't dare to speak for Lu Yun anymore. It was not worth offending Qi Yuning for his brother.
It was getting dark, so Qi Yu and Qi Luze went to have dinner together.
Prince Jin took a concubine today, and the Princess's Mansion should have gone to have a meal to celebrate. However, due to what Zhou Jiayun had done before, no one from Princess Pingrou's Mansion went to the banquet to congratulate.
Lu Yun came with Han Ge'er in his arms. Han Ge'er lay in Lu Yun's arms, and they seemed closer than real father and son.
Princess Pingrou said with a smile, "Yun'er, you are a father now, so it's time for you to find something to do. Ze'er, is there any idle position in the court that would be suitable for Yun'er?"
Lu Yun said, "Mom, I'm still young, not even twenty years old. There's no need to look for things to do. I'm busy all day long!"
"Busy hanging out and drinking with your bunch of buddies?"
Lu Yun repeatedly said, "I didn't. They made fun of me behind my back for marrying a widow with a lot of debts. I stopped associating with them a long time ago."
Shen Nian said, "Mother, my husband is not that old after all. We should let him study for a few years first. When the time comes, he will enter the court and take up a position without being a burden to my elder brother."
Princess Pingrou looked at Lu Yun and said, "Did you hear that? You're not alone anymore. You're already twenty years old. It's time to plan your future."
After the meal, it was still light and the spring breeze was warm. It was a unique experience to walk in the yard after the meal.
Qi Yuning saw Lu Yun and Chen Nian watching Han Ge'er walking and playing in the courtyard, so he walked up to Chen Nian and said, "I just got a piece of green material, which is just right for making Han Ge'er a spring dress. Come to my courtyard and get it."
Clothes made of green material are very rare. Shen Nian smiled at Qi Yuning and said, "Thank you very much."
Seeing Lu Yun and Han Ge'er coming up, Qi Yuning said, "It's springtime now, let Han Ge'er play in the yard more."
Chen Nian followed behind Qi Yuning. Qi Yuning walked to a pavilion and stood still, letting Lichun and the maid go down to serve tea.
Shen Nian followed Qi Yuning and sat down at the stone table in the pavilion, "Sister-in-law, is there anything you want to talk to me about in private?"
Qi Yuning said: "Two cents of Sophora flavescens, three cents of Taraxacum mongolicum, five cents of Scutellaria baicalensis..."
When Shen Nian heard the prescription reported by Qi Yuning, his expression suddenly changed, "Princess."
Qi Yuning looked at Chen Nian and said, "If you want a donkey to grind the mill, you have to feed it. You can't kill the donkey after it's done with its work."
Shen Nian listened to Qi Yuning's silence, but knew that she already knew it, so she responded, "Yes."
Qi Yuning glanced at him thoughtfully and said, "Lu Ze and I are always busy, so we naturally hope that the Lu family will be harmonious. I helped you hide this matter once, but I can't hide it a second time. You should also know that if Lu Yun and Her Highness the Princess know about this, even if the Lu family wants to divorce you, you have brought it upon yourself."
