Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze, "Lingling hasn't seen you and me for a long time. I'm afraid she must be worried. You go find Lingling first. I'll go to the toilet."
Lu Ze said, "I'll wait for you here."
Qi Yuning said, "It's scary to have so many tablets here. You'd better go find Lingling first."
Lu Ze replied, "Okay."
Lu Ze walked out of the door. Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze's departing back, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to get three incense sticks.
Qi Yuning lit three incense sticks, looked at the small, blank tablet, and bowed, saying, "I don't know whether you should be my nephew or my niece. I haven't been able to seek justice for you. I am your aunt, not your aunt. I hope you can be reborn soon and find a parent who expects you."
After Qi Yuning gave birth to Lingling, she became more superstitious. She felt a little uncomfortable with the burnt incense ash just now.
Although she knew that it might be an accident caused by her failure to hold on firmly, but now that she had Lingling, Qi Yuning was really afraid of provoking some people who should not be provoked.
Moreover, today is the evil day of Dragon Boat Festival.
Qi Yuning said to the abbot beside him, "Please recite the Rebirth Mantra for this unborn child a few times, so that he can be reborn into a good family in the next life."
The abbot clasped his hands together and said, "Yes, Princess."
Qi Yuning smelled the scent of sandalwood and thought that this was a temple, and his frightened heart gradually calmed down.
When Qi Yuning walked outside the resting hall, she saw Lu Ze waiting for her at the door. Qi Yuning was a little surprised and asked, "You didn't leave?"
Lu Ze asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with not being able to seek justice for my nephew and niece?"
Qi Yuning said: "Nothing."
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand and said, "When you saw that little tablet just now, you were filled with fear and told me to leave. Now you say it's nothing, do you think I will believe you?"
Qi Yuning sighed.
Lu Ze reached out and touched the red spot on the back of Qi Yuning's hand. "In Buddhist lands, lying is forbidden."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "I won't lie, but I don't have to tell you. Don't ask anymore. Lingling is waiting anxiously."
Qi Yuning left the resting hall and went to the main hall to see the majestic and solemn Buddha before daring to hug Lingling.
Lingling saw Qi Yuning smiling, and her two little teeth that had just emerged were so cute.
On the way back to the princess's mansion, Lu Ze kept staring at Qi Yuning and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I can find out within three days."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "I'll tell you after we get home."
She knew Lu Ze's ability. After all, Lu Ze was Lu Shaoqing, a brilliant case-solver in the Dali Temple. He already knew the clues. If she hid it from him, he would eventually find out the truth.
It was almost dusk when I got home. Today was the Dragon Boat Festival, and there was a banquet at Duke Lu's mansion. The whole family gathered together in a lively atmosphere.
Today, the cousins of the Lu family won the first place in the dragon boat race, and the elders of the Lu family were very happy.
Even Lu Yun had not returned by the evening, and no one mentioned it.
Until Madam Lu sat at the head, frowned and looked at Chen Nian and said, "It's so late, your husband hasn't returned yet, and you just act as if nothing happened. You don't even know how to properly manage your husband. How can you be a wife like this?"
Shen Nian responded respectfully: "Yes, I will persuade him well when my husband comes back."
Princess Pingrou said, “This cannot be blamed on Chen Nian.”
Lingling has grown teeth now. Although she only has two small baby teeth, she can chew soft things. Han Ge took a piece of mung bean cake and fed it to Lingling. One person fed and the other ate, and the two children had a lot of fun.
Mrs. Lu Er said with a smile: "These two children are really good friends."
Madam Lu said angrily, "After all, they are not cousins, so it's better to stay away from them! After all, there are differences between men and women, so don't do anything rude when the time comes..."
Qi Yuning was furious when she heard what Old Madam Lu said. "Lingling and Han'er are siblings. Han'er is the child with the surname Lu recorded in the Lu family tree."
Lu Baozhu said, "One is two years old, and the other is less than one year old. Only someone with a dirty mind would plot against these two children. I'm full. Uncle, uncle, aunt, aunt, you can eat slowly."
Lu Ze pulled Qi Yuning to his feet and said, "We'll take our leave first."
Old Madam Lu was so angry that her heart ached and she kept shouting for the imperial physician.
Qi Yuning looked back at Madam Lu, and after leaving, she said to Lu Baozhu, "If I remember correctly, more than two years ago, Madam Lu said that she was seriously ill and would not live long..."
Lu Baozhu sighed: "When I am old, I want to be like her, so that I can bring disaster to my descendants for thousands of years!"
Lu Ze frowned slightly and said, "Baozhu, you shouldn't talk about Grandmother like that."
Lu Baozhu said, "She's so disgusting that she's plotting to have your eight-month-old daughter and Han Ge'er together. Isn't that a disaster for the next thousand years?"
Lu Baozhu took Qi Yuning's arm and said, "Ignore my brother."
Qi Yu smiled softly.
After returning to the princess's residence, Lu Ze ordered the kitchen to prepare many of Qi Yuning's favorite dishes and had dinner in the room.
Lingling was still making a fuss about wanting to eat mung bean cakes, but Ali was afraid that she would get indigestion and said he would not let her eat any of them.
Lingling sobbed in Qi Yuning's arms in grievance, and refused to let Ali hug her.
Qi Yuning held Lingling in his arms and said with a faint smile, "Little greedy cat, you've already eaten half of it. You can't eat any more."
Lingling felt increasingly aggrieved. Lu Ze held her in his arms and said, "Next year you can eat a whole mung bean cake. Half a cake this year is already a lot."
"Woo woo woo."
Lingling cried herself to sleep in Lu Ze's arms.
After Lu Ze handed the sleeping Lingling to A Li, he chuckled at Qi Yuning and said, "Lingling was even more greedy when she was little than she is now. She only has two little teeth."
