Chapter 31 Lu Hanyi is pregnant
Lu Lingyun didn't expect to run into Li Wenxun at Xiangji Temple.
She politely took a half step back and returned the greeting, "You're welcome, brother-in-law."
"Are you here to burn incense today, sister?"
"Yes, didn't Hanyi come with you?" Lu Lingyun maintained a decent and distant smile.
When Li Wenxun heard Lu Hanyi's name, a smile flashed in his eyes, "Hanyi is pregnant."
"oh?"
Lu Lingyun really didn't know that Lu Hanyi was pregnant.
"Don't blame me, sister. Hanyi just found out she's pregnant, and she hasn't even informed her parents yet." Li Wenxun said considerately, "We were thinking of telling our family after some time."
Lu Lingyun heard this and said, "Congratulations."
"I'm happy for you," Li Wenxun looked at Lu Lingyun and continued after a moment's hesitation, "Sister, if you have time, you can ask Hanyi out more often. I see she's always alone at home and feels bored."
Lu Lingyun nodded, "Okay."
"Then we won't bother you, sister. Have fun, sister."
After a few simple greetings, Li Wenxun tactfully made way.
Lu Lingyun nodded with him, "I also wish my brother-in-law to pass the high school entrance examination next year."
After she finished speaking, she led Wang Qiluo away.
She and Li Wenxun were husband and wife for their entire lives, but they did not have much deep feelings for each other.
Li Wenxun is a gentle and modest person, but he is actually a cold-hearted person. He has lived in the shadow of his eldest brother since he was a child. A lot of resources of the Li family are poured into his brother Li Wenze. He receives very little attention at home and has very few resources to obtain.
This made him very eager to stand out.
But unfortunately, his abilities are not outstanding.
That is to say, in his previous life, he had Lu Lingyun's support and help him reach the highest point step by step.
From a certain perspective, she and Li Wenxun were a pretty good team. They had never had a quarrel and always treated each other with respect. However, Lu Lingyun knew one thing very well.
If she was useless, Li Wenxun would kick her away.
Because she injured herself while giving birth to his child, Li Wenxun became very cold towards her. If she had not been so capable and able to maintain her position as his wife, Li Wenxun would definitely have divorced her.
As a couple for a lifetime, Lu Lingyun understands him very well, while Li Wenxun is a person who attaches great importance to interests and is extremely cold-blooded.
In this respect, he was completely different from Cheng Yunshuo.
Cheng Yunshuo may look rebellious and chaotic, but he actually values friendship very much.
Lu Lingyun walked towards Xiangji Temple with a worried look on his face. Wang Qiluo's voice came to his ears, "I still think your good marriage was taken away by your sister. The second young master Li is as gentle as jade, and he is a good match for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, her head under her hat was poked.
"Ouch, what's wrong?"
"Cheng Yunshuo is much better than him." Lu Lingjun said angrily.
Wang Qiluo: “…”
"Look, Mr. Li was just thinking about his pregnant wife and asked you to accompany Lu Hanyi. Isn't that a good idea?"
"Haha." Lu Lingyun gave a fake laugh. "The most chivalrous ones are butchers, and the most ruthless ones are scholars."
Could it be that Li Wenxun is only thinking about Lu Hanyi?
He was clearly thinking of her Ningyang Marquis Mansion.
Ask Lu Hanyi to come over more often to build relationships. As a brother-in-law, he will definitely find some useful resources for him if he visits more often. Li Wenxun is very smart.
He knew that to reach the highest palace, one did not rely on real talent or knowledge, but on the power behind it.
Who are the people behind you, whose company you are representing, and whose interests are tied to you, will determine how you can reach the corresponding height.
He is just the second son of the Li family, and he married the daughter of a fifth-rank editor. His wife's family is so weak, who can he rely on!
In her previous life, she really put in a lot of effort to help Li Wenxun stand out.
Fortunately, in this life, she doesn't have to suffer this pain or waste this effort.
Her good sister tried her best to snatch her marriage, so this blessing is reserved for her.
Thinking of this, Lu Lingyun felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
Don’t be too comfortable in this little life of rebirth.
She took Wang Qiluo to burn a few incense sticks for the Bodhisattva, donated some incense money, and had a vegetarian lunch at Xiangji Temple before returning slowly.
As soon as she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she received news from the Li family.
"Young Madam, the Li family has sent an invitation, saying that if you have time recently, please come to the Li family. The second young lady has just been found to be pregnant and wants to chat with you." Nanny An said.
When Lu Lingyun heard this, she smiled. Li Wenxun was really quick.
"Okay, I'll go there tomorrow."
Since they have invited her to come, there is no reason for Lu Lingyun to refuse.
After all, she is nominally my biological sister.
The next day, she asked someone to prepare gifts and took a carriage to take a look at the Li family.
Li's house.
The size of the Li family is similar to that of the Lu family, but because Mr. Li is a sixth-rank member of the Ministry of Rites, he has real power and hope for promotion in the future, while the fifth-rank Hanlin editor of the Lu family is actually a civil servant with no power at all, the two families are incomparable.
In addition, Li's eldest son married Wei Huifeng, the only daughter of a fourth-rank official in the capital, so the Li family still had a considerable status in Kyoto.
Many people believe that the Li family will rise in the future and that Li Wenze has a bright future.
Lu Lingyun looked at this familiar family and got off the carriage. Two gatekeepers came forward and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
This statement is not in accordance with the rules.
When someone comes to visit, the first thing we do is to tell the doorman to be careful and not to offend the guests.
But Lu Lingyun came here as the Crown Prince's wife and asked them to interrogate her, which can only mean one thing.
Li Er and Lu Hanyi invited her over without telling anyone in the Li family.
This was definitely their little trick, they wanted to use Lu Lingyun's status to suppress Wei Huifeng, the current head of the family's first wife.
Ask her to take the blame and admit her mistake.
Lu Lingyun saw through the Li family's tricks at a glance, but she had also suffered a lot from Wei Huifeng in her previous life, so when Wei Huifeng schemed against her, she just went along with it.
She gave a look to Nanny Wan who followed her.
Nanny Wan immediately yelled, "You are blind! You don't even know the second wife's elder sister, the wife of the Ningyang Marquis's son!"
The second lady’s elder sister is not important; the Ningyang Marquis’s son’s wife is the focus.
A lady from a legitimate noble family, this was something that the Li family could not possibly underestimate even if they were on the rise.
"My eyes are short, hurry up, go and ask the Madam to come out!"
The gatekeeper immediately nodded and bowed.
After a while, a young lady in her early twenties wearing a dark blue skirt ran out hurriedly.
As soon as she saw Lu Lingyun, who was wearing a dark gold embroidered auspicious cloud pattern, a lake-colored Shu brocade short coat, and a simple but valuable jade hairpin on her head, she immediately put on a warm and apologetic smile, "It turns out that the wife of the Ningyang Marquis's son is here to visit. Don't blame me, madam, I was really busy today!"
Wei Huifeng was all smiles.
She took the loss. After all, even if she told Lu Lingyun that she had no prior knowledge, Lu Lingyun would not believe her and would only accuse her Li family of cheating.
This impression made Lu Lingyun feel disappointed. If Lu Hanyi complained about him again, he would really have nowhere to say anything.
