Lu Yanli handed An An to Defu:
"Take the young master back to the lady."
When An An left, she looked over here curiously, her grape-sized eyes staring at the old lady.
The old lady wanted to hug him eagerly, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. She just watched her grandson slowly disappear from her sight, and immediately became displeased with Lu Yanli:
"What? I can't even take care of my grandson?"
Lu Yanli walked to the chair and sat down:
"Mother, that one just now is my second son. Zhiyi has given birth to three children for me this time. I will definitely not let her be my concubine. Don't worry about this matter. I will marry her back."
The old lady wanted to speak up to stop him, but then she remembered how he had risked his life for Xu Zhiyi in the past two years. She had also heard the original version of what he did at the banquet a few days ago from others.
He was willing to disobey the imperial order for Xu Zhiyi, so what did his words mean?
Thinking of the cute look of the child just now, he finally swallowed his words reluctantly.
"Let me think about it."
Xu Zhiyi's background has always been a thorn in her heart.
Lu Yanli did not continue to persuade:
"If Mother still treats her the same way as before, I won't embarrass you. I will take her and the children to the frontier."
After Lu Yanli finished speaking, he turned around and left.
The angry old lady stayed where she was, unable to utter a word.
Did he stop trying to persuade himself? He even learned to threaten me.
He patted his chest and it took him a long time to recover.
When Lu Yanli returned to his residence, he saw Ping Ping'an playing with the little puppet he had carved.
The puppets are little rabbits, polished very smoothly. To avoid hurting them, someone has to watch over them while they are being played with.
Said to Defu:
"Take them to Qinghui Hall later and have them play something noisy, like rattles, so the old lady can see them. If she comes out to hold them, bring the children back."
Defu nodded, saying that the prince could be quite mean sometimes.
Lu Yanli returned to the house and looked at the empty room. He remembered that many of Xu Zhiyi's jewelry were gone. He wondered if she had sold all the jewelry to raise the child. So he gave her the key to the private vault:
"Inside are some gold, silver, and jewelry awarded by the emperor, as well as calligraphy and paintings. You can choose some that you like. If you don't have enough, go out and buy some."
Xu Zhiyi took it embarrassedly. Actually, she had no shortage of jewelry. When she was in Yangzhou, she didn't want to show off her wealth, so she didn't leave many outside and threw them all into the space.
Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise.
With shining eyes, he said to Lu Yanli:
"Thank you."
Lu Yanli cast his gaze on her lips again:
"Saying thank you is useless. It's swollen again after yesterday. Can I use it tonight..."
As he said this, he touched the corner of her mouth again.
Xu Zhiyi's eyes twitched. She never wanted to experience the feeling of suffocation again.
It's really too big...
Can’t eat, can’t eat…
Immediately said:
"Maybe I'll be back to health by evening. I'm very quick."
After saying that, he slipped away to the warehouse to see what was in his little treasury.
That afternoon, Xu Zhiyi took the silver bills in her hand and planned to go for a stroll in the capital city after two years. Niannian held her and refused to let go, so she walked out holding Niannian.
Lu Yanli wanted to send a few more people to protect her, but Xu Zhiyi refused:
"The capital is still very safe. How can I go shopping if you send a team of people to follow me?"
Lu Yanli only left four for her.
Who knew that before leaving the house, I heard two little maids whispering beside the rockery:
"Have you heard? The lady who came back this time is called a lady, but in fact she is the concubine that the old lady arranged for the prince."
"Who can blame her for being so lucky? She was born in a lower class than us, yet she gave birth to three children at once. Isn't it because of her children that she is honored as a mother and has flown to the top of the tree like a phoenix? You are jealous, so why don't you climb into the prince's bed too?"
"Hmph, I'd like to, but there's no chance."
"I think there's a chance, but you can't do it either. They definitely know more moves than you."
"That's true. It's better to go to the Second Young Master. The Second Young Master treats everyone equally. At least it's much better than being a maid."
.......
The guard next to her was about to step forward to stop her, but she waved her hand to ask him to stop.
Xu Zhiyi glanced at Nian Nian in his arms, and seeing that she didn't understand, he felt relieved and handed her to the guard beside him:
"Wait, cover her eyes."
The guard suddenly hugged a little baby, and in an instant he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. His hands and feet were stiff and he dared not move. Fortunately, Nian Nian was well-behaved and not shy at all.
The two maids noticed that the atmosphere around them was not right, and the air around them became quiet.
She turned her head cautiously and saw the concubine she was talking about standing behind them and watching them quietly.
They were so frightened that they trembled, and the man could not bear the nagging and knelt down quickly:
"Ma'am, we were wrong, we were wrong."
Then he kowtowed to Xu Zhiyi continuously.
Xu Zhiyi sneered. She had just returned home and already she was being shown a threat. If she didn't deal with it today, everyone in the mansion would laugh at her tomorrow.
It would be fine if she was just laughed at, but she couldn't stand it if her child was laughed at as well.
After all, it was their master who begged them to come back.
I said to the system in my mind:
"Give me a minute of strength."
The system never fails at this time and arranges it immediately.
Xu Zhiyi faced the two of them and gave each of them two symmetrical slaps.
They lay on the ground groaning in pain, screaming, and five finger marks appeared on their faces.
The guards were stunned. Their wife was a delicate and soft woman, how could they beat her harshly? Not only was this maid lazy, she also acted miserably.
Xu Zhiyi said to the two guards beside him:
"Send them before the general and give him a complete account of what happened today."
Said to the maid just now:
"Your chance to climb into bed has come. Take advantage of it. You might even become famous because of your child."
The maid only felt that her body was beginning to get cold.
I was almost frightened and crawled on the ground, shaking my head.
"No, no, I don't want it anymore. I don't want it anymore."
If the general's bed was so easy to climb onto, the old lady wouldn't be so worried.
After the two guards were thrown into the yard like chickens, they quickly reported to Defu and rushed back to chase the lady.
Lu Yanli was handling some matters. When he heard Defu's report, he walked out.
His face turned cold when he looked at them. Fortunately, Pingping and Anan were still in his hands, otherwise if Xu Zhiyi was angered by them again, he would be angry to death.
Let Defu summon all the servants in the mansion to come over,
Lu Yanli said to everyone:
"I'll just say this once: offending the lady in this house is more serious than offending me."
He was about to speak to deal with the two maids when he saw Ping Ping An playing with the little cat slave in the distance, and his heart softened.
Then he said to Defu:
