Qi Yuning listened to Zhou Jiamin's explanation and frowned slightly, saying, "Even if you have good intentions, Lu Yun is a married man after all. I hope you can respect yourself."
Zhou Jiamin said shyly, "Yes."
Lu Baozhu came in and said, "I don't know where Chen Nian went this early in the morning. She left without even giving him medicine. If Lu Yun doesn't take his medicine, he might not be able to survive."
"Princess Qi, Her Royal Highness the Princess invites you to her room."
After Qi Yuning glanced at Zhou Jiamin, he went to Princess Pingrou's place. When he arrived at Princess Pingrou's place, he saw Chen Nian, who Lu Baozhu had mentioned had disappeared since early morning.
Shen Nian knelt on the ground with his head lowered.
Princess Pingrou said to Qi Yuning, "Have you heard the rumors about Yun'er and Zhou Jiamin?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "I heard about it."
Princess Pingrou said, "When the Zhou family wanted to give Lu Ze a concubine before, we could have refused because we were in the right. But today, we are not in the right. The Empress Dowager has already spoken and wants to give Zhou Jiamin an explanation."
Qi Yuning looked at Shen Nian who was kneeling below and said, "I don't know what my sister-in-law means?"
Chen Nian lowered her eyes and said with tears in her eyes, "I am willing to leave the marriage and give the position of the County Prince's Consort to Miss Zhou Er. Perhaps if I leave the County Prince, he will wake up. I am indeed destined to be a star of misfortune and will only bring harm to my husband."
Princess Pingrou looked at Shen Nian and sighed, “Alas, before Lu Yun fell into a coma, he said that you were not allowed to remarry.”
Shen Nian said, "He only said that I'm not allowed to remarry, but he didn't say that I can't divorce him. Your Highness, I will never marry in this life. Please allow me to leave the Lu Mansion, so that the Lu family can repay Miss Zhou for saving our lives without violating the ancestral precepts."
Princess Pingrou said, "Divorce is no small matter."
Shen Nian kowtowed and said, "Your Highness... You don't want to see Lu Yun unable to wake up, do you?"
Princess Pingrou sighed deeply. "Since you are determined to leave, the Lu family can't stop you. Go ahead, and Lu Yun will just put his fingerprint on the divorce agreement."
Shen Nian thanked him repeatedly: “Thank you, Your Highness.”
The Lu family only granted her a divorce instead of divorcing her, which was already giving her too much face.
Qi Yuning looked at Chen Nian's back and felt filled with sadness. She even felt a little bored while having lunch in her room.
In the afternoon, she had no interest in going to the hunting ground, so she took a nap with Lingling.
It was extremely hot in June, and Lingling was like a little stove. Even though there were a lot of ice cubes in the room, Lingling's head was covered in sweat during her nap.
When Qi Yuning was wiping Lingling's sweat with a handkerchief, she saw the jade pendant on Lingling's neck shining brightly. She touched it, and there was a cloud of mist in front of her eyes.
There was the sound of Han Ge'er crying in front, and Chen Nian's back was full of sorrow as he left the Lu family holding Han Ge'er.
Qi Yuning, who was shrouded in mist, walked into Lu Ze's study with a fierce look on her face and said sternly, "The eldest daughter of the Zhou family is already your aunt. I didn't expect you to still care about the Zhou family so much that you forced Shen Nian to leave so that you could give the position of Princess Consort to your beloved's sister!"
"Yuning, Yun'er hasn't woken up yet. State affairs are hectic, and I'm already exhausted. Please stop being unreasonable!"
"I am being unreasonable, but your Lu family is a good family. How dare you bully a loyal and brave man like this!"
"Why don't you go and ask Shen Nian what good things she has done first? Then come and help her out."
Qi Yuning felt her palms getting hotter and hotter, and she even let go of Lingling's jade pendant. Every time she touched that life, she and Lu Ze always quarreled, and Qi Yuning hated herself at that time.
However, Lu Ze was not gentle enough at that time.
Qi Yuning heard the deliberately slowed-down footsteps, and saw that it was Lu Ze who came in cautiously. She then got down on the bed barefoot and threw herself into Lu Ze's arms.
Lu Ze put his arm around Qi Yuning's waist and raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Qi Yuning to throw herself into his arms in broad daylight.
Lu Ze picked up Qi Yuning like a child, placed her on the bed, leaned over and kissed her. When he was about to unbutton Qi Yuning's collar, he heard a soft, baby-like voice.
“Daddy!”
“Daddy!”
Lu Ze was completely shocked. Qi Yuning even pushed Lu Ze away, saying, "Lingling actually called me daddy first!"
Qi Yuning picked up Lingling who had just woken up. Although he felt jealous, he was also happy. "My Lingling can call me daddy now!"
Lu Ze was not bothered by the disturbance at this moment. After all, it was the first time Lingling called him "Daddy" so clearly. For Lu Ze, it was far more joyful and happy.
“Daddy!”
Lingling cried out again, and Lu Ze picked her up and said, "Whatever Lingling wants, Daddy will buy you."
Qi Yuning snorted, "Mom will buy it for you too, but your father doesn't have as much money as Mom."
Lu Ze knew that Qi Yuning was jealous because Lingling had called him "Daddy" so clearly, so he taught Lingling to say, "Call me Mommy..."
Lingling babbled, "Kiss, kiss."
Qi Yuning touched Lingling's little face and said, "You're so good."
…
At noon, Chen Nian packed up all his luggage at the Lu Mansion in Chang'an, and ordered someone to go back to the Princess's Mansion to pack her things.
After everything was packed up, Shen Nian went into Lu Yun's room.
Shen Nian sat beside Lu Yun's bed, reaching out to touch Lu Yun's eyebrows, eyes and nose, "It was wrong of me to use you as Han Ge'er's father before. I'm sorry. After you and I divorce, you will have a more beautiful and younger county princess than me.
You don't have to worry about being laughed at. Miss Zhou Er is so outstanding that you will definitely be proud when you take her out in front of your friends.
But I still have to advise you not to associate with those bad friends anymore. Now that your brother is the regent, his every move is being watched by people. Living with the king is like living with a tiger. Even though he is extremely powerful now, you can't guarantee the future. Your misbehavior today will probably become evidence that the regent is shielding you in the future.
