As soon as Danruo's two daughters entered the palace, the prince liked the two cousins who were one month older than him very much.
She always wanted to play with her cousin in her dreams. Seeing that the prince looked lonely, the queen asked Danruo's two sons to follow the prince as tutors, actually just playmates.
With five children together, the queen was so busy every day that she had no time to worry about which palace the emperor would go to.
More than a month later, the imperial physician found out that the queen was pregnant, and she was overjoyed.
At the same time, at the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Dan Ruo also started to retch at the dinner table.
As time went by, the queen gave birth to a little princess as she wished.
Danruo gave birth to three more sons, and all the brides in the capital wanted to share in Danruo's good fortune.
It turned out to be very effective. The wife of Marquis Yong'an, who had not given birth to a child for ten years and was almost divorced, finally gave birth to a child.
From then on, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
It is said that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo is the reincarnation of a person with perfect merits, so she has so many children and grandchildren in this life. You should know that although the Lu family is not a single-line family for three generations, it is far less prosperous than other big families.
Princess Yan Yang even wanted to give all her private treasury to Dan Ruo and the children.
Before Lu Xiuyuan went to the battlefield, she promised to give Danruo 100,000 taels for each child she gave birth to. Since she had four children in her first pregnancy, she had already given Danruo 400,000 taels as Lu Xiuyuan's "dowry".
Now three more have come, and Princess Yan Yang took out the last of her private money. Fortunately, she had worked hard to run the shop in the past two years and earned a lot, otherwise she would not be able to give this money now.
She had to study the art of business carefully. What would she do if she had more grandchildren in the future? But she had to fulfill what she said at that time.
She also had to save some money for her grandson to marry, so she looked at the account book more actively.
General Lu was not good at business, and the Lu Mansion's assets under his management became less and less, so he handed over all power to Sun Mohan, and he devoted more time to raising his youngest son.
But this youngest son not only does not look as handsome as Lu Xiuyuan, but he is also not as good-looking as Lu Guangzhi.
His brain was even worse. He couldn't recite what Xiuyuan knew when he was three years old when he was five.
He started practicing martial arts at the age of five. He was born with a poor foundation and could not endure hardships. He often acted like a spoiled child and skipped classes. After half a year, he was neither good at literature nor martial arts.
It is said that a person's character can be seen at the age of three. Even if General Lu has a filter for his youngest son, he knows that relying on the youngest son cannot revitalize the Lu family, and the youngest son still needs support.
He then set his sights on Lu Xiuyuan, but he planned to find a roundabout way to save the situation by letting his youngest son get close to Lu Xiuyuan's children. With the relationship between the children, it would be easier for the adults to talk to him.
After hearing that Lu Xiuyuan and Danruo had taken their children to a farm outside Beijing, he hurried over with Sun Mohan and their youngest son Lu Tianbao.
Lu Tianbao was asked to find an opportunity to play with the children. In the end, he found the opportunity, but the two groups started fighting.
Of course, Lu Tianbao was alone against the five brothers of Dabao. Although the three younger brothers were small and just there to make up the numbers, they still crushed Lu Tianbao.
The children's quarrel alarmed the adults, and Lu Xiuyuan saw General Lu frowning.
Seeing that Lu Xiuyuan was not shy, Lu Tianbao called out to him as if it was natural:
"Brother Xiuyuan, please teach these bastards a lesson. They actually hit me, their uncle."
Dabao was angry and unconvinced: "Who are you calling a little bastard? You are the little bastard. No, you are a little turtle. Otherwise, how could you have snatched the little turtle raised by my fifth brother just now?"
General Lu gave Lu Xiuyuan a kind and flattering smile:
"Your brother is ignorant, so don't argue with him. Tianbao, you are the elder and you can't bully your nephews. You should apologize to your brother."
Danruo hurried over with her two daughters. Seeing Xiaowu crying like a cat again, she hugged him in her arms with heartache.
She also heard what General Lu said and was very unhappy at the moment: "Lu Tianbao and my husband have nothing to do with each other, General Lu, don't claim any relatives casually."
Lu Tianbao looked at Dan Ruo obsessively, then turned to General Lu and acted coquettishly:
"Daddy, I want to marry this fairy sister in the future."
General Lu's face was even more embarrassed. He wanted to repair his relationship with Lu Xiuyuan. He slapped Lu Tianbao hard and said, "Little boy, what nonsense are you talking about? That's your sister-in-law."
Lu Tianbao was beaten in front of everyone, and he felt that his father didn't love him anymore, so he started crying:
"Dad, don't you always say that I'm your favorite son? Do you still like Brother Xiuyuan? Otherwise, why would you hit me for Brother Xiuyuan? You liar, I don't want you anymore."
Dan Ruo was afraid that Lu Xiuyuan would feel uncomfortable hearing this, so she grabbed his hand in front of everyone.
Then he looked at General Lu who had already blocked Lu Tianbao's mouth and was about to leave:
"General Lu, you've always had poor judgment. This is the second time you've mistaken fish eyes for pearls. Your youngest son doesn't look like you at all. Not to mention Xiuyuan, he doesn't even look like Lu Guangzhi."
Sun Mohan, who had been pretending to be invisible, was excited and turned around and left with Lu Tianbao.
General Lu had something on his mind, thinking every day that he could give birth to brothers like Lu Xiuyuan and Lu Guangzhi, and this child was indeed not like him.
If we talk about the difference in the mother, then Qiao was an orphan, but the child she gave birth to was not only handsome, but also able to pass the imperial examination and become the top martial arts student.
What's more, Sun Mohan is a lady from a noble family, and she is much better than Qiao in both appearance and talent.
It wasn't until he saw the housekeeper coming and going in the mansion that he felt something was wrong, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind in the middle of the night.
The butler's nose and mouth shape are exactly the same as Lu Tianbao's.
