Lu Jiannan left Prince Kang's Mansion and was about to get on the carriage back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Suddenly, the words Ye Peizhu said popped up in her mind - Have you seen a doctor outside?
For some unknown reason, she didn't want to go back directly.
She said something to the driver and asked him to go back first while she walked back.
The driver drove away without asking any more questions.
Lu Jianan went straight to a clinic near Prince Kang's Mansion.
After a cup of tea, Lu Jianan came out of the clinic.
She was wearing a veil, so her expression couldn't be seen.
But her tired eyes were red, and there was anger and sadness in them that she was trying hard to suppress.
She walked back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and coincidentally met Jiang Fanghui who had just returned from the palace at the door.
As soon as Jiang Fanghui saw Lu Jianan, her old face became long.
"You came back from Prince Kang's Mansion? What did Princess Kang say?"
Lu Jianan suppressed his emotions and glanced at Jiang Fanghui, and that glance made Jiang Fanghui's heart skip a beat.
How dare this little bitch look at her like that?!
Jiang Fanghui looked over again and found that Lu Jianan's eyes were the same as before, so she didn't think much about it and just thought that she was dazzled.
"Mom, let's go inside and talk. You don't want our words to get out, do you?"
Lu Jianan said this with his eyes lowered, and went straight into the mansion.
Jiang Fanghui turned her head to look at the passers-by and had no choice but to follow them in.
"Tell me, what did Princess Kang say?"
Jiang Fanghui sat down on the main seat in the main hall, glaring at Lu Jianan.
"Princess Kang said that Concubine Shu hurt her child twice and she will never forgive her."
Lu Jianan lowered his eyelids to hide the anger in his eyes. His hands were clenched tightly in his wide sleeves, his fingertips had already embedded in his palms, and blood was faintly oozing out.
But she seemed not to feel any pain, because the pain in her heart was far greater than the pain in her body.
Jiang Fanghui was not surprised that Princess Kang would say such a thing.
But she couldn't stand Lu Jianan and wanted to find fault with him.
"Did you really plead for your cousin? Don't be one thing in front of me and another behind my back!
You can’t have children if you lie to someone!”
Jiang Fanghui knew what Lu Jianan cared about, and every word he said hurt her heart.
Lu Jianan gritted his teeth and took a deep breath before calming down.
"If you don't believe me, you can go and plead with Prince Kang and Princess Kang in person. If I dare to go to the palace to plead with the Emperor, I'm sure I'll also dare to go to Prince Kang."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fanghui slapped him in the face.
The thin Lu Jianan was slapped to the ground by her.
"You're such a rebel! How dare you talk to me like that? Is that what your parents taught you? Oh, I almost forgot.
You are a concubine's daughter and have no mother, so it is normal for you to not have a mother to teach you.
But you've been married to our Leng family for over ten years! Who are you showing that face to?
If you don't want to live with Ning'er, just leave now!
"Don't occupy the position of the Prime Minister's wife all day long, you can't even lay an egg! Get out of here right now!"
Jiang Fanghui cursed and swore, just like any other day.
Cursing Lu Jiannan became something she did every day.
In the past, Lu Jiannan's heart would have become numb after listening to these curses.
But today, looking at the soft and sweet little girl of Princess Kang, I recalled what the doctor said in the clinic.
The grievances hidden deep in Lu Jianan's heart burst out.
She suddenly raised her head and glared at Jiang Fanghui fiercely. When she was about to say something, she heard familiar footsteps outside.
Lu Jianan immediately closed her eyes, covered her face and started crying.
Leng Zhuning ran in immediately when he heard his wife crying.
He saw his wife falling to the ground with a very obvious slap mark on her face and one of her cheeks was swollen.
His mother stood aside, showing off her power.
"Mom! How long are you going to keep bullying Jianan like this?! She's my wife! Did you ever think of me when you were torturing her?!"
Leng Zhuning looked at his mother with great sorrow and yelled at her.
Jiang Fanghui was a little dazed. She seemed to see that little bitch Lu Jianan glaring at her fiercely just now?
"Ning'er! I'm your mother! Why are you yelling at your mother for this little bitch?!
Just now she looked at me with murderous eyes!"
Jiang Fanghui didn't care whether what she had just seen was true or false, she started to complain.
But Leng Zhuning no longer believed her.
"That's enough! Mom, I don't want to believe a single word you say!
If you continue to bully Jianan like this, you and your precious brother and sister-in-law will be kicked out of my Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Leng Zhuning said this with a cold face and a firm tone, then leaned over, picked up his wife and strode out.
Jiang Fanghui watched her son walk out, and then recalled what her son had just said.
She let out a yell, sat down on the ground and started wailing.
"What a sin! I raised an unfilial son who only wants his wife and not his mother!"
Jiang Fanghui has a loud voice, and she yelled like that on purpose. The sound was simply like a devilish sound that was lingering in the ears.
People passing by the Prime Minister's Mansion could vaguely hear the noise inside and had become accustomed to it.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was in chaos again because of that crazy old woman.
Leng Zhuning carried Lu Jianan back to their house.
He asked someone to bring a cooked egg and gently rolled it on Lu Jiannan's face to reduce the swelling.
Leng Zhuning's gentleness and thoughtfulness made Lu Jianan silent.
She couldn't help but wonder, if her husband knew the truth, would he choose to believe her or stand on his mother's side?
She doesn't know.
She was in a state of confusion.
"Jianan, I'm sorry. I made you suffer again."
Leng Zhuning reached out and took Lu Jianan's hand to apologize, but her hand felt a little wet.
When he lowered his head, he saw that the palms of Lu Jiannan's hands were covered with marks from being pinched by fingernails and were bleeding.
His eyebrows jumped and he quickly took out medicine for Lu Jianan to treat.
"Jianan, you..."
Leng Zhuning choked and couldn't continue.
His wife has always endured it for him. Jianan used to be such a cute chubby little girl.
But now, more than ten years have passed, and she no longer looks like she used to be.
This is all because of him...
Lu Jianan lowered her eyes and looked at her hands, then she realized that she had pinched her palms until they bled.
She didn't feel anything.
But my husband seemed about to cry.
But her heart had become numb. Even when she saw her husband about to cry, she could no longer feel the same pity for him as before.
"My dear, I went to Prince Kang's mansion this morning. Princess Kang said we should go there together to reminisce about the past. Do you want to go?"
Lu Jianan's voice was very soft and somewhat ethereal.
Leng Zhuning nodded with red eyes, "If Madam wants to go, then I will go with you."
