Madam Lu was also greatly shocked. Only then did everyone realize that Marquis Lu had not told the women in his family about sending the prince to foster care at home.
Before anyone could sigh that the loyal and brave Lu family had become extinct, Lu Ziyan revealed that there was a bloodline of the second branch of the Lu family left outside, and it was the son of his pregnant concubine whom he brought back from Bianzhou.
It turned out that the second master of the Lu family who died in the battlefield had a son who was living outside, and the pregnant concubine brought back by Lu Ziyan was his son's widow.

There are several versions of their love story.
Most of them are about the sadness of people in love who cannot be together.
Some people also blamed Xie Wan Ning for resolutely breaking off the engagement and getting married in a hurry.
In short, a strong-willed young general like Lu Ziyan has become the object of everyone's love in those stories.
