It turned out that at noon today, Kang wanted to eat fish, so she asked the kitchen to make a steamed fish. However, as soon as the fish was served on the table, Situ Yao, who came to accompany Kang for lunch, vomited. This scared Kang, and she hurriedly asked the imperial physician to come to her house for a check-up.
Unexpectedly, the final result was that Situ Yao was two months pregnant, which made the old lady Kang very happy.
Speaking of which, the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion hasn't had any children since Lu Zilian was born. (Oh, that Lu Minghong's child doesn't count in Kang's eyes.)
A few years ago, the Kang family, the Cui family, and Lu Minghan were all prepared for the end of the Dingguo Mansion's inheritance.
But later, the fortunes changed and the Lu family found Lu Mingyuan's family, and the Lu family finally had a successor. Now Lu Zifeng's wife Situ Yao is pregnant. No matter whether the baby is a son or a daughter, it is a happy event. If she can have a daughter, she can also have a son.
Just because Situ Yao was pregnant, the entire Duke Dingguo's Mansion was filled with joy. Kang specially asked a servant to go to the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion to tell them, but when the servant came back, Old Lady Xu and the Marquis's wife Tan Yunniang also came.
As the future mother-in-law, she naturally needs to come over.
At this time, Lu Zifeng didn't know that he was about to become a father. He was currently dealing with Lu Ziyan in General Lan's military camp.
It turned out that a few days ago, Lu Ziyan took a few soldiers to the capital and actually confronted a playboy in the capital. The two sides fought and one of them was beaten into a disabled person. The playboy's father actually reported the case to the emperor. When the emperor knew that Lu Ziyan was the culprit, he asked Lu Zifeng to come here to deal with Lu Ziyan.
Looking at Lu Ziyan lying on the bench crying and shouting, Lu Zifeng sneered.
"Haha, Lu Ziyan, you've become quite capable. You actually left the barracks secretly and went to the brothels in the capital to hang out. You even competed with the dandy from the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion for a prostitute. You really don't mind being ashamed! The emperor asked me to come and watch you being punished so that I can tell him about it when I get back."
Lu Ziyan originally thought that his elder brother had come to torture him, so he didn't really take it seriously. But when these people really hit him, he realized that he was wrong. They were really beating him! At this moment, he only felt that his buttocks were no longer his own, because his entire buttocks were numb.
"Brother, please forgive me. I...I won't dare to do it again. But brother, you have to know that Yun Zhaofeng is not a good person. He is a real playboy. I just couldn't stand his arrogant look, so I beat him."
When Lu Zifeng heard that Lu Ziyan was still quibbling at this time, he sneered.
"Lu Ziyan, do you know that Yun Zhaofeng's legs were broken by you, and he might never be able to stand up again in this life?"
Lu Ziyan was also stunned when he heard this, but then he spoke.
"Brother, his legs are broken? But my legs are not broken. I just punched him a few times, and I hit him in the chest. There is no way I could break his legs!"
Lu Zifeng originally didn't care about Lu Ziyan breaking Yun Zhaofeng's legs. He had heard that the illegitimate son of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion was not a good person. But now when he heard Lu Ziyan say this, Lu Zifeng immediately realized that this matter was a little unusual. It could be said that Lu Ziyan might have fallen into someone else's trap and became a scapegoat.
Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Lu Zifeng's eyes. It seemed that he had been too low-key in the capital in the past two years, and some people actually dared to plot against his brother.
Lu Zifeng stood up and looked at Lu Ziyan.
"Don't go back during this period. Stay in the barracks and recuperate. I'll go explain to mother at home. Also, don't think about going out again. From today on, Lu Dong will be here to serve you. When your injury is healed, he will go back."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Lu Ziyan raised his hand and wanted to say something, but in the end he did not stop Lu Zifeng from leaving.
Lu Dong stepped forward and helped Lu Ziyan up.
"Second Young Master, let me help you in!"
Lu Ziyan looked at his elder brother's back as he left, then looked at Lu Dong.
"Okay, help me in!"
It was only after he entered the tent and lay down on the bed that Lu Ziyan remembered.
"Hey, I get it. I was tricked. Big brother just said that Yun Zhaofeng's legs were broken, but I only punched him in the chest a few times. There's no way he could have broken his legs!"
Lu Dong looked at Lu Ziyan helplessly.
"Second Young Master, the Crown Prince has taken care of this matter. Even if you guessed it, what good would it do given your current appearance? Your most important priority right now is to heal your wounds. Also, don't blame the Crown Prince; he was tortured on the Emperor's orders."
Lu Ziyan also calmed down a little at this time. Yes, he was still injured, so even if he guessed something, it seemed to be of no use. Judging from the expression of his elder brother just now, he probably planned to go back and verify the matter.
"Look at what you said. How could I not know that this was the emperor's order? It was also my fault that I brought trouble to the family. Now, no matter whether I beat Yun Zhaofeng or not, I guess it's all on my head. I can only accept it for the time being. I really don't want to blame my eldest brother."
Lu Zifeng rode his horse and galloped towards the capital. Lu Chun, Lu Qiu and Lu Xia looked at each other and didn't dare to say a word. The coldness emanating from the prince was too strong. Although the three of them were the prince's attendants, they were also a little scared!
After quickly returning to the Duke's Mansion, Lu Zifeng came to the study and sat down to drink some tea.
"Lu Chun, gathering information is what you're good at. I'll leave this matter to you. You must find out for me who has the guts to plot against my brother."
Lu Chun quickly agreed and turned around to go out and make arrangements.
Lu Qiu and Lu Xia didn't say anything, just stood not far away waiting for Lu Zifeng to assign them tasks.
"You two go down first! Don't do anything for now."
After sending the two away, Lu Zifeng simply washed up and returned to his own courtyard. As he approached the courtyard, he saw his mother, younger sister, and grandmother coming. Although he was very curious about their visit at this time, he was still very happy.
"Mother, grandmother, little sister, you are here."
When Mrs. Xu saw Lu Zifeng coming back, she laughed.
"Your wife is pregnant, so your mother and I came to see her."
Lu Zifeng nodded when he heard that. Just when he was about to say something, he realized what his grandma had just said.
"Grandma, what did you say just now? Are you saying that my wife is pregnant?"
Looking at Lu Zifeng's surprised expression, Xu glanced at Tan Yunniang.
"If you don't believe me, ask your mother."
Lu Zixuan on the side interjected.
"Brother, what grandma said is true. My sister-in-law is really pregnant. It's been two months. I'm going to be an aunt!"
