Chapter 104: Shedding Bitter Tears for Yan Mingchang
Although my sister is in the palace, she is just a concubine. It is considered good enough for her to see His Majesty from time to time. How can she be such a pillow talker?
He finally understood that his mother only cared about her youngest son and didn't care about the life and death of himself, his sister, or the whole family in this house.
If he doesn't wake up and distance himself from Hu Er, I'm afraid his entire family will be dragged down by Hu Er.
Mr. Hu knew that if he continued talking to her, he would probably vomit blood and die, so he turned away.
The old lady felt sorry for her youngest son and kept shouting behind him, "Your brother is suffering in there right now. I don't know if he has food to eat. Please send someone to send something over."
Mr. Hu didn't even turn his head and said coldly: "If he really died in there, it would save our Hu family a lot of trouble."
Regardless of how loudly the old lady was crying and shouting behind him, Mr. Hu went back to discuss the matter with his wife.
Tomorrow the Yan family will hold a full-moon banquet for their newborn granddaughter. It is said that Princess Qi and the Crown Prince's wife will be there. This is the only chance to save the Hu family.
Whether it was the Yan family or the Prince Qi's Mansion, none of them could afford to offend.
Mr. Hu's eyes were red, and the eldest lady felt very distressed. She could no longer express her resentment towards him for being indecisive and ignoring her words of advice. She could only sigh and gently press his head.
"Now that it has come to this, it's useless for the master to think too much. We must not care about the life or death of the second brother anymore, otherwise we will be completely implicated with him and cannot clear ourselves from it."
"Even for the sake of our children, Master has to be cruel."
Mr. Hu naturally understood this principle. Hu Er had already gotten himself into trouble. It was his own fault and no one could do anything about it.
He couldn't sacrifice the entire Hu family and his children's future for such an incompetent person.
So Mr. Hu squeezed his wife's hand and said softly, "Tomorrow I'll depend on you."
Prince Qi is not in the mansion, and it is inconvenient for him to talk to Princess Qi. He can only rely on his wife to get close to Princess Qi tomorrow. He does not expect to rescue Hu Er, but only hopes not to implicate the Hu Mansion.
No matter how good Mr. Hu's intentions were, he couldn't stand the fact that he had a mother at home who was partial and doted on her youngest son.
That night, the old lady, who felt sorry for her youngest son, had food prepared and went to the yamen to visit him.
With Qi Muchao's instructions during the day, the prefect not only did not let anyone in, but after severely scolding him, he also sent someone to inform Qi Muchao.
…
Early the next morning, Lu Wanning prepared the gifts and went to the banquet hall with Princess Qi.
Princess Qi was unaware of the farce that happened yesterday.
Still talking to her about the banquet mansion.
"Madam Yan and I have a pretty good relationship. When An Zhi was weak, Madam Yan helped me find many famous doctors among the people."
Speaking of this, Princess Qi smiled and said, "A few days ago, Madam Yan came to see me specifically and said that there was a doctor named Lu in Huichun Hall who was very good at medicine, and asked me to invite him to help Anzhi."
Princess Qi teased and nudged Lu Wanning, "If I wasn't afraid of getting too carried away and exposing your identity, I would definitely show off to her."
Lu Wanning felt that Princess Qi still had some childish nature, and the two of them could talk about anything on a daily basis.
I felt helpless when being teased and could only smile faintly.
The two of them chatted and laughed and soon arrived at the gate of the banquet mansion. When they got off the carriage, they heard a commotion outside. Lu Wanning looked up and saw a young man making a commotion at the gate of the banquet mansion.
Princess Qi said with a cold expression, "This is Yan Shu's husband who never gets angry. What a jerk! He didn't cherish her back then, and now he's trying to win her back. He really thinks he's such a sweetheart."
When she went to visit her aunt at Chen's house that day, Nanny Liu told her about Princess Qi's youth.
It is said that Princess Qi has become much more polite in her speech over the years because she was often ridiculed when interacting with these noble ladies in the capital. In the past, she would have cursed people without using a single dirty word, which would have made people feel ashamed and angry to death.
The two ignored the presence of Yan Shu's husband. Yan Mingjue and his wife, who were at the door, recognized Princess Qi and came forward with a smile. After exchanging greetings, Zhen Wan'er helped Princess Qi inside. "Don't let these irrelevant people ruin our mood. Princess and Crown Prince's Consort, follow me. Mother is inside greeting the guests. I will take you two over."
As soon as she entered the door, she bumped into Yan Mingchang who rushed out with a stern face. It seemed that he was rushing to the door to teach Yan Shu's troublemaking husband a lesson. He just greeted the two of them hurriedly and walked out with his neck stiffened.
Not far away, Lu Wanning could still hear Yan Mingchang's somewhat low voice, "Why is he here if you don't pick him up and throw him out? Helping to greet the guests?"
"Throw it farther away, to the gate of the Tongping Marquis's mansion. If the Tongping Marquis can't manage his son well, I'll take good care of him for him."
Zhen Wan'er was a little embarrassed. "Second brother is also very angry. It's really that this person comes here every day, and he comes again on an occasion like today. It's really annoying."
Princess Qi said, "That's how it should be. If it were me, I would just carry him and parade him around the streets, bringing shame to the Tongping Marquisate before sending him back."
After hearing her words, Zhen Wan'er also laughed, but Princess Qi could say such words, but she could not.
So he just looked at Lu Wanning, smiled and nodded.
After meeting Madam Yan and greeting her, Princess Qi stayed to chat with her, while Zhen Wan'er took Lu Wanning for a stroll.
Lu Wanning was quite curious about Yan Shu and the newborn baby, so she asked, "Can I go see Xiao Jiaojiao?"
Zhen Wan'er didn't react at first, but when she heard her mention Jiaojiao, she immediately smiled. She loved children very much. After Jiaojiao was born, except for feeding, she was the one who took care of her almost everything else.
So once he started talking about it, he couldn't stop, and even the sonorous sound of the little guy crying was described vividly.
As they talked, they mentioned Doctor Lu, who had delivered Yan Shu. Zhen Wan'er's eyes sparkled, "Doctor Lu is a very good doctor, and he's also a gentle person..."
She suddenly paused, "How does the Crown Prince's Consort know about Jiaojiao?"
Although many people knew about Jiaojiao's birth, this nickname was only decided two days ago.
The family hadn't had a baby for a long time, so they were very doting on the newborn baby and were even very careful about choosing a name for him. In the end, it was Yan Shu who decided on it.
She looked at Lu Wanning's smiling eyes, which seemed to gradually merge with Doctor Lu's gentle eyes.
Zhen Wan'er nearly cried out, and after a long pause, she stammered, "Doctor Lu?"
Lu Wanning smiled and agreed.
If Qi Muchao hadn't been jealous yesterday, Lu Wanning wouldn't have planned to hide her identity for long.
She could see what Yan Er was thinking. If things dragged on for too long, it would not be good for anyone.
Zhen Wan'er didn't know what to say for a moment. She glanced at Lu Wanning from time to time, and secretly shed tears for Yan Mingchang in her heart.
