When Lu Zifeng heard his younger sister say that his wife was really pregnant, he was very excited. After two lifetimes, he finally had a child.
In my previous life, the end of the world had already begun before I even graduated from university. At that time, how could I have the leisure to fall in love, get married and have children? I didn’t even know if I would have a tomorrow after today.
When I came to this life, I had also dreamed of getting married and having children. I didn't expect that Situ Yao would become pregnant just a few months after getting married.
After quickly bidding farewell to his grandmother, mother and younger sister, Lu Zifeng walked towards his own yard.
Situ Yao was instructed again and again by a group of elders. After they left, she just lay down on the couch and prepared to rest for a while when she heard the voice of a maid in the yard, followed by footsteps. A smile appeared on Situ Yao's lips.
Looking up, he saw that it was Lu Zifeng who walked in, so he prepared to stand up and listened to Lu Zifeng.
"Madam, don't move. Just lie down."
As he said this, he walked forward and held down Situ Yao who wanted to get up. He also sat down beside the couch, holding Situ Yao's hand, and looking at Situ Yao with joy on his face.
"Madam, you've worked so hard. They say that pregnancy is the hardest of all. You'll be so tired for the next eight months."
After hearing what Lu Zifeng said, Situ Yao felt warm in her heart and smiled.
"My dear husband, what you said is true. Giving birth to your child is Yao'er's duty as a wife. There is no such thing as hardship. Besides, this child is also my child!"
As Situ Yao was speaking, she suddenly remembered something and said with an unnatural look on her face.
"My dear husband, I am pregnant now, so I can't serve you anymore. How about you take a look at the maids around me? If there are any that you like, take them in. If you have a child in the future, you can promote them to be concubines!"
When Lu Zifeng heard Situ Yao say this, he didn't know what to feel in his heart. He felt a little depressed and didn't know what to do. After thinking about it, he said.
"Madam, you may not know that our Lu family's great-grandfather once established a family rule, which states that a Lu family man who is forty and childless can take a concubine, and the mother must be killed and the child can be kept. So, don't talk about taking a concubine anymore. No Lu family man is allowed to take a concubine."
Situ Yao was very surprised when she heard this, but she was happy in her heart. She didn't expect that the Lu family had such a rule. She was naturally unwilling to take a concubine for her husband, but if she wanted to be a good wife, she needed to take the initiative to take a concubine for her husband.
Speaking of this rule of the Lu family, Lu Minghan and Cui had mentioned it to Princess Zhong when they went to Prince Zhong's Mansion to propose marriage, but Princess Zhong forgot to tell Situ Yao in the end, so Situ Yao didn't know about it.
Lu Zifeng comforted Situ Yao and asked her to have a good rest. Then he left the yard and came to the study.
Just now, Situ Yao said that she wanted to take a concubine for him. Lu Zifeng did not feel very excited after hearing this. Not to mention that this was the rule of the Lu family, Lu Zifeng also did not have the intention to take a concubine at the moment.
While I was thinking about something, Lu Qiu came to report that someone had sent a letter, but he didn't know who it was.
Lu Zifeng frowned when he heard this, looking unhappy, but then he said.
"Bring the letter here!"
Lu Zifeng took the letter, opened it, read it, and thought about it.
"Lu Qiu, get ready, let's go out."
At Yuntian Restaurant on West Street in the capital, Lu Zifeng got off the carriage and walked in.
He went all the way to the second floor, stopped in front of a private room and knocked on the door, but the door was opened in an instant, and a big man was standing at the door. He seemed to know Lu Zifeng, and saluted Lu Zifeng the moment he saw him.
"Greetings to the Prince of Dingguo Mansion. Please come in. My master is inside."
As he spoke, he walked to the door. After Lu Zifeng went in, he closed the door and stood outside to guard it.
When Yun Zhaolin saw Lu Zifeng come in, he quickly stood up and bowed.
"Greetings, Master Lu. It is really rude of me to invite you here today. I hope you will forgive me."
Lu Zifeng also returned the greeting.
"No problem, but I don't know why Prince Yun called me here?"
Half an hour later, Lu Zifeng finally walked out of Yuntian Restaurant.
After returning home, Lu Zifeng went straight to the study.
"Feng Qing, are you there?"
"Master, I am here."
Lu Zifeng took a deep breath and said, "Send someone to secretly keep an eye on Marquis Jing'an and his concubine. Report anything to me."
After arranging things, Lu Zifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had never expected that there were so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this vast capital city. No one had expected that Marquis Jing'an and his concubine were actually the remnants of Prince Qing, and that Marquis Jing'an's concubine was actually Prince Qing's secret spy. If Yun Zhaolin hadn't found him today, he really wouldn't have thought of it.
Thinking back to when he first met Yun Zhaolin, Lu Zifeng thought it was because of the conflict between Lu Ziyan and Yun Zhaofeng a few days ago. Who knew that Yun Zhaolin would actually explode such a big bombshell.
After thinking about it, Lu Zifeng went to Lu Minghan's study again. It happened that Lu Minghan had not rested yet and was handling official business in the study. When he heard that Lu Zifeng was coming, he was very surprised why Lu Zifeng came here so late.
"Let him in!"
"Uncle, I just got some news, but I'm not sure if it's true or not yet. After thinking about it, I decided to come over and talk to you first."
Lu Minghan knew that this was definitely not a small matter, it might be a big deal, otherwise Lu Zifeng would not come to find him so late.
"Oh, tell me about it."
Lu Zifeng then repeated what he said when he met Yun Zhaolin.
"So Yun Zhaolin hopes that this incident won't implicate him and his mother. Everyone in the capital knows that Marquis Jing'an has favored his concubine over his wife over the years, and Yun Zhaolin and his mother have had a very difficult life in the Marquis's mansion."
Lu Minghan frowned when he heard this.
"This matter is too serious. Do you agree to this guarantee?"
Lu Zifeng shook his head.
"How could my nephew dare to make that promise? I only said that I would come back to discuss it with you and then meet with the emperor before I could give him a reply."
Lu Minghan stood up and said.
"You should go and rest. I'll go to the palace now. I don't think the emperor will be too embarrassed about Yun Zhaolin and his mother. Besides, if Yun Zhaolin hadn't exposed this matter, I guess when the matter broke out later, we and the emperor would be in a passive position."
Lu Zifeng nodded and stepped out. Although he had asked Feng Qing to secretly monitor the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion for the remaining matters, he would be more relaxed if the emperor took over. Anyway, the emperor would not let Jing'an Marquis go.
When Lu Zifeng returned to the house, Situ Yao had already fallen asleep. Lu Zifeng did not let the maids disturb her, but quietly went to the small study in the inner courtyard to sleep.
