Lu Yun was extremely angry and said, "What responsibility do I have for Zhou Jiamin? If she hadn't stayed in the mountains until dark to hunt, I wouldn't have been bitten by the snake. If she didn't let me suck out the snake venom because of her reputation, then she would be repaying kindness with enmity. I don't owe her anything!"
Shen Nian frowned slightly: "But now she has been divorced, and I have promised the Queen Mother to give the position of Princess to Zhou Jiamin..."
Lu Yun coughed hard several times, and angrily felt a mouthful of black blood gushing out, spitting all over Shen Nian.
Shen Nianlian said to the outside world: "Quickly call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician!"
The maids in Lu Yun's courtyard were busy.
After Lu Ze and Qi Yuning learned that Lu Yun had woken up, they went to Lu Yun's room.
The imperial physician was already examining Lu Yun's pulse and said, "Your Highness was so angry that he vomited poisonous blood..."
Princess Pingrou clasped her hands together and said, "Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless me, it is truly the Bodhisattva's blessing!"
Duke Lu said to Lu Yun: "Fortunately, Yun'er is fine and woke up safely."
The imperial physician stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, the snake venom has been cured. You should be careful not to get too angry, as anger can damage your liver."
Lu Yun glared at Shen Nian unhappily, and coughed heavily several times in anger, “This county prince didn’t want to be angry, but someone made me angry!”
Princess Pingrou asked, "Who made you angry?"
Lu Yun pointed at Shen Nian and said, "She! She was confused and promised the Queen Mother to give the position of the Princess of the County to Zhou Jiamin. Even if I divorce her, I can't marry the daughter of the Zhou family! The Zhou family bullied Yuning so much before, how can I marry the daughter of the Zhou family and marry into the Zhou family?"
Lu Ze looked at Lu Yun and frowned, "Can you call Yuning? Call her sister-in-law."
Qi Yuning rarely showed a good face to Lu Yun, "After experiencing life and death, you have finally made some progress. Shen Nian, you shouldn't have agreed to the Queen Mother. It may not be easy to solve the Zhou Jiamin issue now."
Shen Nian said: "But, she saved Lu Yun after all, we can't let her ruin her reputation and not get married."
Lu Yun said, "It's not like I asked her to save me, and I was injured because of her. You promised the Queen Mother to give the Princess to Zhou Jiamin, so you handle this matter yourself. Anyway, there is no way I will marry the daughter of the Zhou family!"
Shen Nian had a headache, staggered two steps, and fell to the ground.
The imperial physician Lian stepped forward to check Shen Nian's pulse, and Lu Yun asked, "What's wrong with her?"
The imperial physician felt the pulse and said, "He fainted from hunger."
Lu Yun frowned and asked, "What?"
Qiuyue said, "The Princess of the County hasn't eaten anything for several days. She only ate a steamed bun this morning when she left the palace. These days, the Princess of the County has been kneeling in front of the Buddha, copying scriptures and praying for blessings..."
Lu Yun looked at Shen Nian who was fainting from hunger and said, "She still has some conscience."
Princess Pingrou instructed Qiuyue, "Hurry up and make some stomach-warming porridge, and take her back to her room to rest."
Qiuyue replied, "Yes."
Princess Pingrou and Duke Lu gave Lu Yun a few words of advice to take good care of himself and then went back. Princess Pingrou had been worried for so long, and now that she knew her son was safe and sound, she could finally have a good sleep.
It was getting dark outside.
Lu Ze looked at Lu Yun and said, “How do you plan to deal with Shen Nian?”
"Dispose of her?" Lu Yun asked in confusion, "Why should I dispose of her?"
Lu Ze said: "Chen Nian used the child to marry you, and then aborted the child. Such a calculating person should not stay in the Lu Mansion. It is better to divorce and cut off all ties!"
Lu Yun said unwillingly, "No! If I ask her to divorce and leave the Lu family now, what will happen to the children she owes me? I won't let her leave. I won't let her find another father for that brat Huang Han. If she doesn't return my eight or ten children, she can never leave the Lu Mansion!"
Lu Ze frowned and said, “Instead of forcing her to give birth to a child she doesn’t want, and letting the child be born and disliked by the mother, it is better to separate. I can’t let you mess around with Shen Nian’s affairs.”
Lu Yun coughed and said, "It is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage."
Seeing Lu Yun coughing violently, Qi Yuning advised Lu Ze, "It's fine if he doesn't want to divorce. There's no need to force him. It's just right that he was poisoned. Now we still have to be united to face the outside world. Shen Nian promised the Queen Mother to give the County Princess to Zhou Jiamin, which is more or less a trouble."
Lu Yun said: "I will never marry Zhou Jiamin. If my third aunt forces me to marry Zhou Jiamin, the worst that can happen is that I will leave home again!"
Qi Yuning glared at Lu Yun fiercely. Lu Yun shrank his head when he saw Qi Yuning's gaze.
Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze: "It's getting late, let's go back and rest first."
When Lu Ze followed Qi Yuning out of Lu Yun's room, he frowned and said, "Lu Yun is really blind. He actually treats Shen Nian as a treasure."
Qi Yuning said: "Alas, Zhou Jiamin's matter is also very tricky. However, in just these two days, this rumor has become so popular. I don't believe that there is no one behind the scenes fanning the flames.
This is about the Empress Dowager's niece and the Princess's residence. If there were no one to spread the news, it would be impossible for the rumor to spread so quickly and be known to everyone."
Qi Yuning knew very well that it would be impossible for this matter to happen without someone behind the scenes fanning the flames. This morning, she saw Zhou Jiamin's feelings for Lu Yun, and the Queen Mother told Shen Nian about the Prince's concubine, which made her more certain of her guess.
Lu Ze said: "I'll send my men to check it out."
Qi Yuning responded: "Yes."
After returning to the room, Lingling crawled over on the ground. The nine-month-old Lingling crawled very fast.
Qi Yuning picked up Lingling and said with a faint smile: "Your uncle has woken up."
Lingling also smiled in Qi Yuning's arms. Qi Yuning felt all his worries disappear as he held the soft Lingling in his arms.
After Lu Yun woke up, Qi Yuning and Lu Ze were finally able to go to the hunting ground freely.
Early in the morning, Qi Yuning went to see Lingling who was still sleeping in the hut nearby, then changed into riding clothes and went to the hunting ground with Lu Ze.
The mountains are very cool in the early morning, without the heat of the day, and birds are singing.
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze were walking and strolling. It was more like they were taking a break to hike in the mountains rather than hunting.
Lu Ze and Qi Yuning walked with their fingers intertwined.
Qi Yuning smiled softly and said, "It's rare that you and I have the leisure time to travel in the mountains like this."
Lu Ze nodded and said, "While Lingling is still young, let's go out for a walk when we have free time. She is too young to remember things now, and she doesn't know why we go out to play without her. When she grows up, she will definitely ask to go hiking with us like Lingling did before."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "It's a good thing Lingling called you daddy first!"
Lu Ze stroked the back of Qi Yuning's hand with his thumb. "It's rare for you and me to be together, so let's not talk about Lingling."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "I'm going to go to Lingling and tell her about you. I have to let Lingling know that I love her the most in this world."
Lu Ze said: "Well, because the person I love the most is you."
Qi Yuning raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ze. Lu Ze's lips had already landed on her lips. Qi Yuning put her arms around Lu Ze's narrow waist.
She felt as if there was a gaze behind her. She turned around and saw only the slightly moving bushes. She looked carefully but did not see any human figure. She didn't know if it was her illusion.
Seeing Qi Yuning's gaze, Lu Ze asked, "What are you looking at?"
Qi Yuning said: "It's like someone is looking at me."
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Qi Yuning went with Lu Ze and saw a little girl in white. It took Qi Yuning a while to recognize that the girl in front of her was Princess Fang, the eldest daughter of Prince Xu.
Qi Yuning asked Zhao Xunfang who was standing in front of him, "Princess Fang, why are you here?"
I haven't seen Zhao Xunfang for more than a year. When I saw her today, I felt that she had really grown up. The thirteen-year-old Zhao Xunfang was already a graceful young lady. I believe that in two years, when Zhao Xunfang is out of mourning and comes of age, the threshold of Prince Xu's mansion will be choked by people who come to propose marriage.
Being witnessed by his little cousin, Lu Ze looked a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and said, "Shouldn't you be in Xuzhou?"
Zhao Xunfang was a little embarrassed and said, "Sister Rong invited me to come here to hunt. I thought there would be more prey in the morning, but I didn't expect to meet my cousin and his wife here."
