Lü Qiao nodded. "Yes."
"My sister-in-law has been at her parents' house for a few days. Has she said when she'll be back?" Wen Nongnong asked again.
"He's been gone for quite a few days, he should be back soon. After all, the young master went to Jinzhou to investigate a case, he'll be back soon too," Green Fairy replied.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong remained silent.
Wen Tingyun is the original owner's elder brother. He is both the heir of the Duke of Wen's mansion and an official of the Ministry of Justice. This time, the imperial court assigned him a task, and he has been in Jinzhou for several months.
He has already been informed by his family that his sister-in-law is pregnant, and he should be back in the next few days.
"I'll go to the Lu family tomorrow," she said after thinking for a moment.
"Miss wants to..." Green Fairy was a little confused.
"You'll find out when the time comes," Wen Nongnong said, keeping him in suspense.
The next day.
After having breakfast, Wen Nongnong took Lü Qiao out.
However, when they reached the gate of the mansion, they encountered Gu Linchao, who was returning from outside.
Today he wore a deep purple court robe, solemn and dignified, and at the same time, his aloofness was even more profound, making people both respect and fear him.
He had obviously just returned from court.
Wen Nongnong stepped forward and gave him a perfunctory bow, "Your Highness."
Gu Linchao paused for a moment, then heard her say, "I have something to attend to and need to go out. Your Highness, please make yourself at home." After saying that, she got up and walked quickly outside without waiting for him to speak.
Lu Qiao hurriedly bowed to Gu Linchao and then quickly followed him.
Gu Linchao frowned slightly and glanced at the direction Wen Nongnong had left.
Wang Houde glanced at his face and asked in confusion, "Why is the Princess Consort leaving in such a hurry? I wonder where she's going?"
Gu Linchao looked away and didn't respond to him.
Seeing this, Wang Houde had no choice but to shut his mouth.
But remembering that the Empress Dowager had summoned him to Jingci Palace to ask him questions after he entered the palace with his master that morning, he struggled for a moment before finally mustering his courage to ask, "Master, shall we summon the Empress to serve you tonight?"
Gu Linchao was thinking about matters of state when he suddenly heard these words. He was stunned and didn't react for a moment. "What did you say?"
Seeing that he did not show any displeasure, Wang Houde thought there was hope, so he leaned closer and whispered, "You and the Empress have been married for more than half a year. Now that you have returned, you should consummate your marriage with the Empress. But you don't need to be nervous, Your Highness. This servant has prepared everything for you."
As he spoke, he pulled a booklet from his sleeve, placed it in Gu Linchao's hand, and winked, saying, "Master, you'll understand what's going on after reading this a few more times."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao naturally understood what he meant.
They slapped the booklet right in his face.
"You dog slave, all you do is think about these crooked and evil ways all day long. I think you're too idle."
Wang Houde hurriedly took the booklet, his face contorted with worry. How did the matter of male-female harmony become a heretical practice in his master's mouth?
However, since his master was angry, he dared not argue. He quickly knelt down, head hanging low, and said, "Master, please calm down. This servant... this servant was only thinking of your best interests..."
"Scrub all the toilets in the Prince's mansion," Gu Linchao said bluntly before walking away.
Wang Houde wanted to cry but had no tears.
It's really tough for him.
Whom did he do that for?
Just then, his hand went empty; the booklet had been snatched away.
He was taken aback, thinking it was some bold servant. When he turned around and saw that it was Si Yi who had taken the book, his face turned red and he jumped up, shouting, "You brat, why did you take my book?"
