Chapter 21 Threat
It was inevitable that I felt shy when discussing this topic with my aunt, so I nodded hurriedly and said, "I have seen it."
"That's fine. You just listen to your aunt. People outside say that Prince Qi is chaste, but whether he is chaste or inhumane is hard to say. If he is really chaste, it would be better, but Prince Qi is weak, so you have to take the initiative."
As she spoke, she wished she could take out the booklet and discuss with Lu Wanning how she should proceed on her own initiative.
It seemed that she was obviously not very confident about Lu Wanning.
After all, in front of Aunt An, Lu Wanning was always well-behaved and obedient.
She never imagined that her well-behaved and obedient niece had already taken advantage of Prince Qi using the method she wanted to teach her.
Lu Wanning said vaguely, "I've studied it. Besides, I took Prince Qi's pulse and he doesn't seem to be in any danger. Don't worry, aunt."
Aunt An knew about Lu Wanning's medical skills and was immediately overjoyed. "Really?"
"certainly."
Feeling a little relieved, Aunt An continued to advise, "But even so, you can't be too careless. It's still important to have a child as soon as possible. Men's hearts are hard to grasp. No one can predict what will happen in the future. Only children are loyal to you."
Don't be like her, she still has no children.
After Lu Wanning got married, she was the only one left in the yard. Apart from looking forward to the master coming every day, she could only watch the sun rise and set, living the same monotonous life day after day.
Lu Wanning pursed her lips and asked, "Are you still taking the medicine I asked my aunt to get last time?"
"I'm taking it. Last time, my wife sent someone to find out what medicine I was taking."
"What did my aunt say?"
"Of course, she said she'd been feeling a bit weak and had a headache these past few days, so she wrote me a prescription to treat it." Aunt An curled her lips. "I guess she didn't believe it, so she asked a doctor to take my pulse and even read the prescription you wrote."
Lu Wanning had naturally expected this, but there didn't seem to be any problems with her prescription, so there was nothing to worry about.
She nodded, "Auntie, just drink as usual."
Aunt An didn't have high hopes for her ability to have children, but she didn't want to spoil Lu Wanning's fun, so she nodded. Just as she was about to speak, Luluo's voice came from outside, "The master wants Miss Lu to go to the front hall."
Lu Wanning stood up, but Aunt An felt uneasy. "What does the master want you to do?"
To prevent her aunt from getting nervous, Lu Wanning said soothingly, "I'm getting married in two days. As the adopted daughter of the Chen family, the master will naturally give her some instructions. There's no need to worry, aunt."
But Aunt An was still a little worried, "I'll go with you."
Luoluo smiled wryly, "Auntie An, the master said that only Miss Lu should go."
Lu Wanning turned her head and looked at her. The coldness in her eyes made Luoluo shiver. She lowered her head and said nothing more.
"I'll be back soon. Auntie, please wait for me here for a moment." Lu Wanning leaned closer to Auntie An, her tone a little coquettish, "I want to sleep with Auntie tonight."
Aunt An was the one who liked this the most. She nodded her head and said, "Go ahead. I'll see if there's anything else I need to prepare for tomorrow."
Following Luluo to the front hall, Master Chen's attendants were waiting there. They pointed their hands at her and led her to the study. "Master is in the study. Come with me, young lady."
When she entered, Master Chen was practicing calligraphy. Seeing her come in, he smiled kindly and said, "Wan Ning is here. Please sit for a while."
Lu Wanning sat on the stool and waited for a while. Master Chen put away the calligraphy and looked at her with a smile. "You're getting married soon, is there anything you haven't prepared yet?"
Facing this extremely hypocritical face, Lu Wanning's mood was really affected.
"No, my aunt has already prepared everything for Wan Ning."
"That's good. Your aunt is a careful person and you can trust her to do things with her." Mr. Chen looked very kind, as if he called her over just to chat about family matters.
But before a few words were spoken, the true intention was revealed.
"You've been in our Chen Mansion for three years. To be fair, we've never treated you unfairly. Coming from a commoner background, it's a real blessing to be able to sit in the position of Crown Prince's Consort. When you return to the Crown Prince's Mansion, don't forget the people of our Chen Mansion."
The kindness and gentleness on his face suddenly turned hideous and ferocious, just like the man-eating house of Chen Mansion, which swallowed people without giving them time to struggle.
Having come into contact with so many hypocritical people, Lu Wanning naturally developed the ability to say one thing to one person and another thing to another person.
She responded calmly, "Wan Ning will naturally remember the Chen family's kindness and will never forget it."
More than that, she dared not forget. Mrs. Chen's harassment and harshness were so deeply engraved in her mind that she could not forget it even if she wanted to.
Mr. Chen was very satisfied with her understanding, but he did not believe Lu Wanning just like that. After all, a woman would inevitably side with her husband after getting married.
So Master Chen reminded him, "There are many rules in the palace. It's not as free as ordinary families like us. You should be more careful and don't upset the princess and the prince."
Mr. Chen looked at Lu Wanning's expressionless face and wondered whether she understood what he meant. If she pretended to be ignorant in front of him later, it would be very infuriating.
So he simply said directly: "You are a smart person, I will not keep you in suspense. His Royal Highness is a short-lived man. If you want to live a worry-free life, it is impossible to rely solely on the palace. The only place you can truly rely on is our Chen Mansion."
Lu Wanning pretended to be confused, "Wanning didn't understand what the master meant."
Master Chen choked, and the kindness on his face suddenly broke. He said with a stern face, "Remember every move in the Prince's Mansion. If there is anything wrong, come back and tell me. You have done well. Your aunt will definitely not suffer any grievances in the mansion."
The implication was that if she did not follow her instructions, there was no guarantee of what would happen to Aunt An.
Although Lu Wanning had expected this, she still couldn't hide her anger when he used her aunt as a threat.
She thought, do I really want my aunt to get pregnant with this man's child and spend the rest of her life with this extremely hypocritical person who only cares about interests?
Lu Wanning was still shaken.
"Aunt is Wan Ning's only relative in this world. Even if Master doesn't say it, Wan Ning's heart is with the Chen family."
She lowered her head, and Master Chen couldn't see her face clearly, but he smiled at her sensible words. "That's right. I've always seen that you are a loyal child. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your aunt."
When I returned from Mr. Chen's study, Aunt An was still waiting in her yard. Luoluo and Hongling were outside the yard. According to Madam Chen, these two maids would accompany her into Prince Qi's Mansion.
Seeing her come back, Aunt An quickly put down what she was doing and came over to greet her, "What did the master call you to do?"
