Shocked! After planting, a sickly and charming first assistant will grow up.

"The doctor... the doctor..."

Lu Xiao picked him up and yelled at the servants in the hall. A token flew out of his palm: "Take my order and go ask the palace doctor."

He was a father of three children. When he saw the blood stains under his wife's body, he had a terrifying suspicion in his heart, and his hands shook wildly.

"..."

Waking up from the familiar bed, Jiang Keyuan looked at the top of the bed in confusion, and subconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

"Are you awake? Have some porridge. The imperial doctor said that you are depressed and need to take a good rest." Lu Xiao sat beside the bed and took the porridge bowl handed to him by his servant.

There was a drowning tenderness in his eyes, and deeper still, there was a touch of...sadness that ordinary people couldn't capture.

sad?

Jiang Keyuan was stunned for a moment, then she grabbed Lu Xiao's sleeve and said in an excited and uneasy tone:

"Child...do I have our child?"

Lu Xiao couldn't help but turned his head away, scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it to his wife's lips: "You are weak, eat something first."

Jiang Keyuan knocked over the porridge bowl with one hand and looked directly into Lu Xiao's eyes: "The child is gone, right? Did you kill our child?"

"The imperial doctor said you are still young and we will have more babies if we take care of you. We will have as many babies as you want."

Lu Xiao had a lot of expectations for this unborn child, hoping that he would be able to be like Prime Minister Jiang in terms of his ability to fight with other scholars, and his ability in martial arts to inherit his legacy.

I hope he can surpass the eldest son in the countryside in both civil and military skills.

Only in this way can you prove that your choice is right!

pity! Everything was in vain. Hearing his wife wake up and questioning him again, he became even more unhappy.

He focused all his energy on fighting with his wife, and she didn't know she was pregnant. When she woke up, she said he beat her.

When did he hit her?

All right! The force of the push was really not well controlled. She touched the tip of her nose and wanted to say something. Jiang Keyuan pointed to the door:

"Get out, I don't want to see you."

Lu Xiao left angrily.

No matter how much she tried to coax Jiang Keyuan, she looked like she had lost her soul and was filled with grief and despair.

Until Jiang Dong came to visit in person.

"Father-in-law."

Lu Xiao invited people into the study.

Seeing the man's slovenly beard and exhausted appearance, Prime Minister Jiang didn't say the rebuke after all, but said:

"The truth has been found out. The rumors about the capital first came from your mother."

Lu Xiao smiled bitterly, he already knew the matter.

Just listen to Jiang Dong's voice change, "The news cannot spread so fast just by some talkative women. I will dig deeper and catch a few beggars."

Lu Xiao froze, as expected, someone was behind it.

"That's right!" Jiang Dong replied affirmatively: "The little beggar said that the masked men used money to spread the news on a large scale in the capital."

"Who is behind this has not yet been found out."

"The truth has already sent someone to act as a beggar. Once the other party makes another move, I will catch them."

Finally, he paused and said, "You should also think about who you have offended, allowing others to target you like this."

This Lu Xiao also thought about it. He is a new member of the court, and he is cautious and does not offend others easily. He has excluded several political opponents. He really can't think of anyone who is targeting him.

As for the eldest son in the countryside who was talented in world affairs, because of his disabled legs and his horizons and experience, I never doubted him.

This method of cutting flesh with a blunt knife, each one more severe than the other, was not something he looked down upon. He had never seen the world. Lu Yunjin, who grew up in the countryside, would never be able to do it.

Yes! What he didn't know was that his simple-minded son who grew up in the country had already been killed by his own hands.

Now... he is an evil ghost who has been reborn to take revenge.

Jiang Dong reminded: "I can't imagine that your old mother and brothers can be used as a breakthrough. How to get the answer from them is up to you."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "Yuan'er has had a miscarriage, let's go and see what she really is."

Lu Xiao suddenly realized that after Ji Pin came to Beijing, he only focused on conflict, creating a confrontational situation.

As long as there are enough appeasements or benefits, they can even sell themselves. Are they afraid that they won't be able to find out the truth?

It's him who's in trouble!

"..."

In the main courtyard——

Jiang Dong stood in front of his lifeless daughter's bed, looked into her blank eyes, and suddenly sneered: "What? You can't stand it anymore?"

"If you knew that this miscarriage had damaged your roots and that you would never be able to get pregnant again, wouldn't you have found a rope to hang yourself from?"

Hearing this, Jiang Keyuan's numb eyes moved, and she jumped up from the bed. Unable to accept it, her eyes were about to burst, and she grabbed her father's official uniform:

"You lied to me, right?"

"This is my and Lu Lang's first child. He promised me to have as many children as I want in the future. How could he possibly hurt his roots?"

"Dad! You must be lying to me."

She shook her head, with an unacceptable expression on her face, even a little crazy.

"Pa!" Jiang Dong raised his hand and slapped her. Looking at his little daughter who burst into tears for a moment, his voice was calm and almost indifferent: "Are you calm now?"

"I'll give you two choices! First: If you continue to give up on yourself, you will lose your family property and your man to others in the future."

"I remember, the Lu family brought a young man from Jing. Lu Xiao has no descendants. Do you think he will find another woman to give birth to a child, or raise a nephew?"

"No!" Jiang Keyuan shook her head, no matter which one she could accept.

"Second!" Jiang Dong continued: "Take Ajin and raise him under your knees. Let him inherit the Hou Mansion and support your mother in the future."

"A Jin!" Jiang Keyuan murmured and repeated the name, her eyes slowly deepening.

Yuan Jin is her and her late husband's child. He is seven years old this year. She left the Yuan family and returned home, but the child stayed in the Yuan family.

If she really couldn't give birth, Yuan Jin would be her only bloodline in this life.

He raised his head and looked at his expressionless father, "Dad, will the Yuan family agree if I take Yuan Jin away?"

Jiang Dong pinched his eyebrows and said, "Leave this matter to me."

In fact, the Yuan family has come to him several times, telling him openly and secretly to pick up Yuan Jin.

The heir fell into the hands of the second eldest brother, so a child of Yuan Jin, the first eldest son, who was qualified to inherit the title would be an eyesore.

A seven-year-old child, even with his support, cannot defeat the Yuan family surrounded by wolves. It would be more practical to control the Pingxi Hou Mansion in the future.

Jiang Keyuan's eyes became firm: "I choose second."

Before leaving, Jiang Dong left a faint message: "The imperial doctor who came to treat you is your father, so this news can be hidden from Lu Xiao."

"It's up to you whether you want to tell him or not."

"..."

Lu Xiao, who didn't know that he was about to have a cheap son, was in the old lady's room.

Ever since Jiang Keyuan suffered a miscarriage, it was difficult for the best people to live in peace, and they were afraid that Lu Xiao would blame them and put the blame on them.

There hasn't been any trouble lately, and each one is better than the other.

Lu Xiao took out a set of armor and tokens from the city defense camp, put them on the table and pushed them to the eagerly waiting elite.

"The job I promised you to find for my second brother has been found. The patrol battalion mission is easy and there is room for improvement."

The reality is not as good as what Lu Xiao said. The patrol camp has almost become a place of exile for the second generation ancestors.

Any child who cannot be disciplined is sent to the patrol camp for observation. If the mud cannot support the wall, this will be the end of his life.

Belonging to a team of dandies in name only, the emperor's acquiescence.

The top players picked up the token as if they had found a treasure. Lu Laoer looked excited and promised again and again that he would do a good job and not embarrass his brother.

Only the old lady was concerned about Jiang Keyuan: "How is your wife's recovery? Do you need help from me, an old lady?"

Lu Xiao looked defensive. Come on, her mother is eyeing her daughter-in-law who gave birth to a miscarriage again!
