Chapter 112 Don't Let Yourself Go into a Dead End
When Lu Wanning was taking her pulse, An Shanghua noticed the red marks on her neck at a glance.
As someone who had been through this, An Shanghua's heart was immediately moved, and he glanced at Lu Wanning several times with his eyes half closed.
But considering Lu Wanning's thin skin and worried that she would be embarrassed, he waited until the maid finished pouring the tea and left before speaking, "You and His Highness the Crown Prince seem to be getting along very well now."
Lu Wanning stiffened, shrank her neck, turned back and glared at her, "Aunt."
An Shanghua laughed out loud, "What's there to be embarrassed about, aunt? I'm happy when you two have a good relationship. But you've been married for so long, why haven't you made any progress yet?"
She had previously suspected that Qi Muchao was not up to the task, but after Lu Wanning told her last time that it was not true, she believed it.
Seeing these traces now, I feel that there should be nothing wrong with Qi Muchao, and those rumors from the outside world are probably just false rumors.
Lu Wanning naturally couldn't say that the two of them had done everything they should and shouldn't have done just last night, so she could only say implicitly, "Things like this also depend on fate."
"That's true." An Shanghua had no doubts. As her aunt, she could still tell whether Lu Wanning was truly happy now.
She pulled Lu Wanning aside and whispered, "I've noticed that the master has been very displeased with the eldest son recently. The day before yesterday, the father and son had a quarrel. I don't know what it was about, but it was quite fierce."
What else could it be? It must be because of the Second Prince's matter.
But this is a bit unreasonable for Mr. Chen.
After all, even if Chen Wenjian had not been too close to the Second Prince, he had already stood on the Second Prince's side a long time ago.
The reason why he is like this now is nothing more than because of Madam Chen's matter and his suspicion about Chen Wenjian's life experience, which makes him feel depressed when he sees Chen Wenjian.
Lu Wanning was very satisfied with how the father and son had come to this point.
Seeing her aunt's expression show no emotion when she mentioned Master Chen, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "What's going on between my aunt and Master Chen now..."
Before she could finish her question, An Shanghua spoke up, "Aunt is already this old, what is there to be worried about? Some things are just a matter of turning a blind eye. The relationship between me and the master can no longer go back to the way it was before."
Even though Mr. Chen treated her well now, sending her all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, delicacies and supplements, she was still touched unconsciously.
Those supplements were not for her, but for the baby in her womb.
As for her staying in the Chen family, it was naturally for the child in her womb.
"For us women, it's a blessing to meet a good man in our lifetime, but not everyone can meet someone like your father like your mother did. My aunt has understood this truth since she entered the Chen Mansion. I have come to this point today, and there is nothing to sympathize with."
She felt that since she stopped coveting Mr. Chen's heart, she seemed to have relaxed a lot.
Back then, she had been very envious of Lu Wanning's mother. Seeing how loving the couple was, she always felt that love should be easily available.
So after meeting Mr. Chen, she quickly believed every sweet word he said.
Even though she knew that he was already married, she still willingly entered the Chen Mansion.
Everything that happened in the past seems a bit ridiculous now. I can only say that I can't blame anyone, because everything was her own choice.
But now she has become Mrs. Chen and even has her own child, all thanks to Lu Wanning.
The two of them exchanged heartfelt words for a long time. Lu Wanning quietly touched his aunt's belly. The little life inside was still very small and couldn't feel its presence yet, but Lu Wanning seemed to think he understood and whispered softly, "Be good and don't make too much noise. I'll pick you up after a while."
An Shanghua looked at her with a smile.
Lu Wanning planned to go back only after having dinner here.
Before leaving, she told her aunt that she was planning to go to Minxuan with Qi Muchao.
An Shanghua was confused, "Why are you going to Minxian?"
This kind of thing couldn't be hidden from her forever. Lu Wanning pursed her lips, took out the buttonhole she had picked up that year, and said softly, "I found this from my mother. I've asked many people over the years, and they all said the pattern on it came from Minxuan. Now I have some clues. I want to go to Minxuan and find out the truth about my parents' murder."
An Shanghua was speechless for a long time.
Over the years, Lu Wanning never told her these things.
She hesitated for a moment, and realized that Lu Wanning knew that telling her these things would only add to her troubles, so she kept checking on her own.
But she didn't notice anything.
Knowing that her aunt felt a little guilty, Lu Wanning quickly said, "It was just a coincidence that I met someone who had been to Minxuan. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find out at all. Besides, there's still no clue at the moment, and it's still unknown whether we can find the truth. Aunt, please don't think too much."
An Shanghua was a little worried, "Does Princess Qi agree to let Prince Qi go with you?"
Lu Wanning nodded, "I agree."
The secret guards around Qi Muchao are all very skilled. With him by their side, there is really nothing to worry about.
An Shanghua breathed a sigh of relief, but still warned, "Don't blame your aunt. If you really can't find anything, don't let yourself go into a dead end. Even if your parents knew about this, they wouldn't want you to face any danger for them."
"At any time, the living are more important than the dead, do you understand?"
"I know."
Lu Wanning nodded, but she knew in her heart that her parents' death had become a knot in her heart for two lifetimes. If she didn't get to the bottom of this matter and find out who harmed them, she wouldn't even dare to visit her parents' graves.
Mother Liu knocked on the door, her voice tinged with laughter, "Princess, the prince is here to pick you up."
An Shanghua stood up and walked her to the door.
Qi Muzhao had a smile on his face and nodded slightly when he saw her, "Aunt."
An Shanghua quickly responded with a smile on his face.
Looking at the young couple leaving together, I felt a little relieved.
She could see that Lu Wanning was truly happy, and that Prince Qi treated her as cherished as her brother-in-law had treated his sister.
They were so close yesterday, but today Lu Wanning felt a little uncomfortable looking at Qi Muchao.
She even kept her eyes wandering and tried not to meet his gaze.
Qi Muchao saw her little evasion clearly, and as soon as she got on the carriage, he pulled her into his arms and asked, "What's with that expression on your face?"
Lu Wanning screamed, and Hu Yan heard it and asked quickly, "What happened to the Crown Prince's Consort?"
"..." She glared at Qi Muchao and cleared her throat, "It's okay, I just bumped into him accidentally."
