Xie Wan Ning thought that it would take at least ten days to half a month to restore his status as a prince. Unexpectedly, at the morning court session the next day, the old emperor issued an imperial edict, informing everyone that the legitimate prince born to him and the late queen had been fostered in the Wuyuan Marquis' Mansion twenty years ago.
It was the General Zhenbei who had just returned from a great victory.
In his previous life, when Lu Ziyan was restored to his status as a prince, Xie Wan Ning had already married into the Duke of Pei's mansion and had no chance to witness the devastation that the widows of the Lu family felt when they heard the news.
Now, she didn't see it again.
Because Lu Ziyan's personal soldiers guarded Shaoguang Court so tightly that not even a bird could fly in.
Even if the sky fell outside the Shen family, it would not affect her.
However, after all, they lived in the same mansion, and Lu Ziyan had no intention of confining her, so she still heard a little bit about it.
The moment the imperial edict was issued, Madam Lu fainted.
As for the first and second wives of the Lu family, they were not much better.
Lu Ziyan is the only child of the Lu family. If he were a prince, it would mean that the Lu family would be extinct.
No matter which family it is, the extinction of an heir is a terrible tragedy.
There was chaos in the palace, and Lu Ziyan, who had been named King of Zhenbei, only returned that afternoon.
Moreover, after he came back, he did not ask about the old lady who had fainted, nor did he ask about the eldest lady whom he had called mother for twenty years.
He went directly to Shaoguangyuan.
Xie Wan Ning had just taken the medicine, and when she saw him coming back, she curled her lips and said, "It's bitter..."
Lu Ziyan hummed, walked closer, leaned over and kissed her lips.
I tasted it for a while.
His brows furrowed slightly.
...It is indeed bitter.
He reached out and touched her face, coaxing her: "Be patient, you have to take the medicine."
Xie Wan Ning raised her hand to wipe her lips, "The mansion is in chaos, don't you want to go take a look?"
Now, nothing has happened yet.
The Lu family had the grace to educate him and had no hatred for him for killing his wife.
During the past twenty years, the ladies of the Lu family protected this only child of theirs like the apple of their eye.
He has no memory of the pain of losing his wife, all he has is the love between grandparents and grandchildren, and mother and son for many years.
Therefore, Xie Wan Ning never thought of asking him to kill the Lu family just because of her few words, just like in his previous life.
When Lu Ziyan heard this, his eyebrows and eyes remained calm, and he just said, "Later."
After answering her question, he lowered his head and asked her about her physical condition today.
After making sure it could withstand the turbulence, he said softly, "Wanwan, let's move out today."
He could see that she didn't like the Lu family.
I don't like this yard either.
Everything that happened here, in her memory, was probably mostly just disgust.
In that case, move out.
He didn't want her to be reminded of his past misdeeds every time she saw the old scene.
Xie Wan Ning had no objection and nodded in agreement.
Didn't even ask where to move to.
Lu Ziyan put his arms around her shoulders, then lowered his head to cover her lips and kissed her tenderly.
Xie Wan Ning tilted her head up to let him kiss her, and after a while she reached her hand into his collar, avoiding the wound on his chest and moving downwards.
Lu Ziyan let her do what she wanted, and fearing that she might be out of breath, the kisses he gave her became lighter and lighter.
"Wanwan..." He said in a gentle voice, "Get well soon, I'll leave it to you."
After a bit of tenderness, Xie Wan Ning felt a little tired. Lu Ziyan helped her lie down, tucked in the quilt, and turned to go to Old Madam Lu's yard.
As soon as he left, the servants of Shaoguangyuan began to pack up their belongings.
…………
Main courtyard.
Madam Lu has woken up, but her face is crooked, her lips are crooked, her speech is slurred, and half of her body is limp and weak, showing signs of a stroke.
The first and second wives were both crying beside the bed, and from time to time they ordered their attendants to ask whether the prince had returned home.
When he heard that he had returned, he was too busy to be happy because he heard that his filial son had gone straight to his wife's place. His face turned pale with shock.
Lu Xiyao was wearing a light pink silk dress, and her makeup couldn't cover the dark circles under her eyes. Upon hearing this, she said, "I've said it before, Xie Wan Ning is my brother's favorite. If anything goes wrong, he will fight her to the death... Even if she's not my favorite, she's still my brother's wife, how can I let her treat me like that?"
As she spoke, she looked at Liu Manrou in the corner, smiling, "But you are lucky to have given birth to my brother's eldest son. Even for the sake of the child, he can spare your life."
Hearing this, Liu Manrou gave a dry smile.
Only she herself knew how much she was bluffing.
She was just annoyed at the arrogance of the man in Shaoguang Court who always looked down on her and didn't even bother to look at her. After hearing that she was sick and weak, she couldn't help but come to her house to provoke her.
To slap the face of this noble lady.
Who would have thought that the man who looked so cold-blooded and didn't care about his wife at all could be...
Liu Manrou was in a state of panic, feeling that she was about to meet with a disaster.
But when she thought of her child, the only one in the Lu family.
Given that person's appreciation for the Lu family, and for the sake of the child, perhaps...
After all, nothing happened to the woman.
Her hope was soon completely shattered.
The moment Lu Ziyan's slender figure appeared at the door, all the women in the room, except the old lady lying on the couch, stood up.
Mrs. Lu was about to say something, but fell silent when she saw her strange son.
Seeing this, Lu Ziyan's fierce aura did not diminish at all, and his expression became cold and indifferent.
He raised his hand and said to the guards behind him: "Take the person away."
"yes!"
Lu Xiyao and Liu Manrou were held by the guards and kept struggling, which scared the two ladies next to them.
The eldest lady hurriedly stopped him, "Yan'er, Xiyao is your sister, what are you doing?"
