Shen Nian was so sad that she just lowered her head, wiped her tears and sobbed softly.
When Lu Yun saw this scene, he looked at Shen Nian in disbelief, “Are you really pregnant?”
Qi Yuning said: "I checked her pulse. It was very obvious that Shen Nian was pregnant. Even an inexperienced doctor could confirm that she was pregnant."
When Lu Yun heard this, he still looked at Shen Nian in disbelief, how could she be pregnant?
Princess Pingrou looked at Lu Yun angrily and said, "What kind of thing did you do? You really want to piss me off to death! I really indulged you too much on weekdays, which made you so bold that you either became a nun or did something as stupid as getting pregnant before marriage!"
Listening to Shen Nian's crying, Lu Yun didn't dare to say a word.
Princess Pingrou was so angry that she took the cane, endured the pain and hit Lu Yun several times, then threw the cane aside.
Duke Lu looked at the situation with great distress, and even said to Princess Pingrou: "Now that things have come to this, beating Lu Yun again will not help. We should think about how to make amends."
Princess Pingrou looked at Shen Nian who was standing beside her and said, “Don’t cry either.”
Shen Nian wiped her tears with a handkerchief and stopped sobbing.
Princess Pingrou looked at Lu Ze and said, "Ze'er, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"
Lu Ze said: "Now that things have come to this, Lu Yun dared to do such a reckless thing, so he must be responsible for Shen Nian, and he must marry Shen Nian after the national mourning.
After Chen Nian entered the sect, she went to the farm to recuperate under the pretext of recuperating from illness.
I will announce my pregnancy a few months later, and stay at the farm until the child is over one year old. Then I will bring the child back to Shengjing City and show him to the public. The difference of five months won’t be noticeable, but the child will have to be born five months later because of a change in birth date.”
Princess Pingrou nodded, "This is indeed the only way now."
Princess Pingrou said to Chen Nian, "It's getting late. You should take Han Ge'er back first. I will go to your stepmother to discuss your marriage another day."
Princess Pingrou said to Lu Yun who was kneeling on the ground, "Send her back to the palace."
Lu Yun endured the pain in his body and got up, following Shen Nian all the way to Shen's house without saying a word.
When Shen Nian was about to enter the door, she saw Lu Yun's unhappy expression and said, "If you really don't want to marry me and are afraid of losing face if you marry me, I can also not have this child."
Lu Yun said in a deep voice: "I just didn't expect that I would become a father so soon. You should take good care of the baby in your belly. I will be responsible for you."
Chen Nian looked at the young man in front of him, feeling a trace of guilt in his heart. He looked at Han Ge'er who was clinging to him in his arms, but then he thought, it was Lu Yun who lost his memory first and caused trouble for them mother and son, so why should he feel guilty?
After Lu Yun sent Shen Nian away, he returned to the princess's mansion and saw that everyone in the hall was still there.
Princess Pingrou angrily scolded Lu Yun and knelt down, "When did you start with her?"
Lu Yun said: "When I lost my memory and returned to Shengjing City, my mind was crazy and confused. I thought she was my wife. After I recovered my memory, I had been avoiding her, but...
I also know that the relationship between the state and filial piety should not be absurd, but I..."
Princess Pingrou said, "It has come to this. I will make peace for you, but you will be a father eventually, so you should be more sensible. Your elder brother is the regent now, so you should be more considerate of him. After your grandfather passed away, you can no longer act as you please."
Lu Yun responded: "Yes."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Yun and felt that he seemed to have grown up a lot. It was impossible for her to not hate Lu Yun. If she had not married Lu Ze later, she would be a joke in Shengjing City now.
But now that she has become his sister-in-law, Qi Yuning naturally does not want Lu Yun to implicate her and Lu Ze. They are now a family. If he can mend his ways and be a good person, then all will be well.
Lu Ze and Qi Yuning returned to their room.
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling who had fallen asleep under the candlelight and said to Lu Ze, "Lingling never mentioned that she had any brothers or sisters at home, but she did talk about Brother Han."
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning, "What do you mean?"
Qi Yuning said: "I'm afraid that Shen Nian's pregnancy may not be safe, so I need her to pay close attention to it."
Lu Ze said: "Chen Nian will definitely take good care of the baby in her belly. Lu Yun is confused, but Chen Nian is so much older than him, is she also so confused?
She got pregnant during the national mourning period, and Lu Yun couldn't be blamed alone. Lu Yun deserved to be scolded, and it wasn't necessarily good for Shen Nian either.
This isn’t the first time that Shen Nian is pregnant. I’m afraid she deliberately revealed it in front of you today. I’m afraid the child in her belly may not be what she wanted.”
Qi Yuning had the same idea in her mind as Lu Ze, but Chen Nian's biological father was the benefactor of her fourth uncle and a hero of the Qi family army. Qi Yuning couldn't be as straightforward as Lu Ze said.
Qi Yuning originally thought that it would be nice for Chen Nian to be her sister-in-law, but now that she thinks about it, she knows that Chen Nian is not simple.
Qi Yuning said, "Well, when she gets married, I will have less contact with her and just maintain the superficial courtesy and harmony between sisters-in-law."
Lu Ze said: "Yeah."
Qi Yuning looked at the sleeping little Lingling and smiled faintly, "In a few days, Lingling and I will be able to leave the hospital."
Lu Ze asked: "Where do you want to go after you can go out?"
"Qingshan Tower, eat honey-roasted pigeon!"
Lu Ze smiled faintly, "Well, when you are able to go out, I will take you to eat honey-juiced pigeon."
Qi Yuning stayed in confinement for thirty-one days. Originally, Princess Pingrou wanted Qi Yuning to stay in confinement for forty-five days, but Qi Yuning could not bear it any longer. After much persuasion, and after the imperial physician came to check her health, Princess Pingrou agreed that Qi Yuning could skip the confinement period. However, she had to cover her head to avoid the wind when going out.
I haven't been out for a long time. For Qi Yuning, this time out is really a rare feeling.
There was a bustling atmosphere in Qingshan Tower. When Qi Yuning and Lu Ze arrived, many officials came forward to pay their respects to Lu Ze.
Qi Yuning saw this scene and looked at Lu Ze beside her. The Lu Ze beside her was no longer the Shaoqing of Dali Temple two years ago.
Perhaps it was because Lu Ze was still the same as always at home, and many servants in the courtyard were still accustomed to calling him Master Lu. Qi Yuning never felt that he had changed after becoming the regent.
Now seeing how respectful the court officials were to Lu Ze, he truly realized what it meant to be the ruler of Great Sheng, second only to the emperor.
The shopkeeper of Qingshan Tower personally welcomed Qi Yuning into the box.
Qi Yuning had been craving for the honey pigeon here for a long time, and now that he could taste it, he felt his appetite improved a lot.
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "If I had known that you would have such a good appetite for Qingshanlou's dishes, I should have invited the Qingshanlou chef back home."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly, "I can finally go out now, and my appetite is good. God knows how bored I am in the room, I must walk around today."
Lu Ze said: "I'll accompany you."
"What about business?" Qi Yuning raised her eyes and asked Lu Ze.
Lu Ze said: "It's still not too late to deal with it at night."
Qi Yuning did not act like a considerate wife today. She dragged Lu Ze to walk around Shengjing City with her, buying clothes, jewelry, fabrics, rouge and powder. She also bought several sets of fabrics for Lingling. It was a fruitful day.
After returning to the princess's mansion, Qi Yuning was called into Princess Pingrou's room.
Princess Pingrou said to Qi Yuning, "Yuning, are you free tomorrow? Accompany me to the Shen Mansion and talk to Madam Shen San about the marriage of Lu Yun and Shen Nian."
Qi Yuning said, "I have nothing to do tomorrow, you can ask the maid to call me anytime."
Princess Pingrou said, "Well, I didn't expect that you two could not be cousins, but sisters-in-law. Is she older than you?"
Qi Yuning said: "One year older."
Princess Pingrou calculated her age and sighed, "That means she is three years older than Lu Yun... Oh, it's just the right time to hold a gold brick."
Qi Yuning saw that Princess Pingrou was not happy, and when she heard her sigh, she asked, “Mother, are you dissatisfied with Shen Nian?”
