Lu Baozhu said: "When she was fourteen, Qi Yuning's belly did not seem to be big, but she is so alive and well standing here, how could it be fake?
Not everyone has a big belly when they're pregnant. Qi Yuning wasn't even an adult at the time, so she must have been afraid of damaging her reputation by getting pregnant before marriage, so she kept it a secret. She wore clothes that covered her belly, so you definitely couldn't see it."
Qin Yuli frowned and asked, "Does she look like she's afraid of damaging her reputation? If she was afraid of damaging her reputation three or four years ago, what about now? Isn't she afraid of damaging her reputation now?"
Qi Yuning has always been aloof and arrogant, and the thing she cares least about is her reputation.
After all, no one dared to say anything bad about her in front of her.
Lu Baozhu said, "She was still young then, so naturally she cared about her reputation. This time, Lu Yun would rather become a nun than marry her, so what reputation does she still care about?"
Qin Yuli looked at Lu Baozhu and said, "Baozhu, Lingling is definitely not Cousin Ze's daughter! Think about how Qi Yuning acted when she saw Cousin Ze before. She was always indifferent. Did they ever say a word to each other before? They must not hate each other so much. How could they have a child?"
Lu Baozhu said: "He didn't say anything on the surface, maybe he had said everything in private.
My brother is not a fool, how could he not know whether he slept with Qi Yuning or not? "
Lingling saw Lu Baozhu from a distance and called for her aunt. When Lu Ze and Qi Yuning brought her over, they happened to hear Lu Baozhu's words.
Qi Yuning blushed and said to Lu Baozhu, "Lu Baozhu! What are you saying as an unmarried girl? Do you have any shame?"
Seeing Qi Yuning coming over, Lu Baozhu said, "I was just about to cause trouble for you. Are you crazy? Lingling is still sick, and you still brought her out to play? Is there any mother like you?"
Lu Ze frowned and glared at Lu Baozhu, saying, "I brought Lingling out with me."
When Lu Baozhu saw Lu Ze, she didn't dare to say anything else. She just said to Qin Yuli, "Don't be suspicious. Just look at Lingling's face. Who would believe that she's not my brother's daughter?"
Qin Yuli looked at Lu Ze with tears in her eyes, "Cousin Ze."
Qi Yuning looked at Qin Yuli, who was crying pitifully, and said to Lu Baozhu, "It's almost noon. Do you want to go to Qingshan Tower for dinner together?"
Qin Yuli looked at Lu Ze and said, "Okay."
Qi Yuning said: "I didn't invite Miss Qin."
Lu Baozhu looked at Qin Yuli's bullied look and said, "Then I won't go either. I'd rather accompany Lili. Qi Yuning, you are so stingy. Isn't it just to let Lili have a meal together?"
Qi Yuning said: "So what if I'm stingy!"
Lu Ze whispered to Qi Yuning, "Let's go."
After finishing the meal at Qingshan Tower, I didn’t stay outside for long because I was worried that Lingling was still sick.
Lingling felt drowsy after dinner and fell asleep as soon as she arrived at the palace gate.
After Lu Ze placed Lingling on the bed, he said to Qi Yuning, "I have an appointment with Qin Feng and Lin Jiang this afternoon at Qin Feng's residence. If Lingling is looking for me, please send someone to find me at Qin Feng's residence."
Qi Yuning said, "Lingling's nap can last for an hour and a half, so you can go."
Lu Ze glanced at the sleeping Lingling before going to Qin Feng's residence.
Although Qin Feng also has the surname Qin, he is not from the same family as Qin Guo's uncle's family.
Qin Feng's Qin family has the Qin Hou Mansion, which has a noble title, but the Qin Hou Mansion handed over the military power earlier than the Lu Guogong Mansion.
Now, Qin Feng is the only one who supports the Qin family.
When Lu Ze arrived, Lin Jiang and Qin Feng had already drunk quite a bit of wine.
"Master Lu is a very busy man nowadays. We can't even see him during his rest time."
Lu Ze smiled and said, "When I have a day off, it's more important to spend time with Lingling."
Lin Jiang smiled and said, "It seems that Master Lu's wedding banquet will be held in front of me."
Lu Ze said, "That's hard to say."
Qin Feng looked at Lu Ze and said, "I really can't tell. Princess Qi used to look at us and we were all indifferent and aloof. I didn't expect that your children have grown up so much in private."
Even to his friends, Lu Ze found it difficult to tell the truth. After all, not many people would believe what had happened from five or six years ago to the present.
Lin Jiang said: "Before Lu Ze was not with us, Princess Qi was a little polite to us. When Lu Ze was with us before, Princess Qi would not even look at him. I didn't know the reason before, but now I think the couple deliberately pretended not to know each other in front of others, and they already had a child in private.
Lu Ze, ah Lu Ze, you even hid it from your good brother."
Qin Feng poured Lu Ze a glass of wine and said, "This glass of wine is for you to drink."
Lu Ze picked up the wine glass and could only acquiesce.
Qin Feng asked, "When will you and the princess hold your wedding?"
Lu Ze remembered that he had rejected it a few days ago, and said with a helpless smile: "About the end of next year."
Lin Jiang said to Qin Feng, "Lu Ze and I are getting married soon. What about you? You're two years older than us, almost twenty-three. Your mother must be terribly worried when she sees me and Lu Ze getting married, right?"
Qin Feng said, "I have never been able to find a girl I like."
Lin Jiang said, "Qin Feng, you're not still thinking about that girl A Ping you met in Shancheng three years ago, are you?"
Lu Ze raised his eyebrows and asked, "Qin Feng is thinking about the girl from Shancheng?"
Lin Jiang said: "Speaking of which, Miss A Ping is somewhat similar to you."
Lu Ze felt a chill and moved a little further away from Qin Feng.
Qin Feng: “…”
Lin Jiang smiled and said, "Qin Feng was ordered by the court to go to Shancheng to provide disaster relief that year. He met Ah Ping in front of the soup kitchen. Although Ah Ping grew up in the mountains of Shancheng, she was as beautiful and charming as a daughter of a wealthy family in Shengjing City. Even though she had suffered from the disaster for a long time and was extremely hungry, she would drink the porridge in small mouthfuls.
