While Lu Zhan lived happily with his grandmother on the farm, Xiao Yunxi organized a funeral for him at the Princess's Mansion. It was simple but decent.

Most of the visitors were women who were on good terms with Xiao Yunxi. Of course, there were also many officials who came to show their faces, hoping to curry favor with Grand Tutor Xiao and Duke Ningguo.

Xiao Yunxi was exhausted from having to pretend to be sad while welcoming and seeing off guests. After seeing off the last guest, she returned to the side hall, lay down on a chair and gulped down two glasses of water.

"Oh, you're in such pain over the loss of your child, and you still have the time to drink tea!"

Mu Qingyun also came to pay his respects in plain clothes. "How much chili water was put on your handkerchief? I can smell the spicy smell even through a chair!"

Xiao Yunxi sniffed it and found it was okay.

"Your eyes are red, it really looks like that!"

"What nonsense! If you want to act, you have to do it in full!"

Mu Qingyun smiled, "So what are you going to do next? If the child is adopted by your second brother as his legitimate son, his status will change, but his face won't. What if people find out?"

"If you know, then you know. It's a done deal. What can we do about it?"

Although Lu Zhan did not die, the fire was real. Whether it was the old lady of the Lu family or Lin Wan'er, their intention to kill was always real.

If Lu Zhan had not made preparations in advance, it would have been difficult for him to leave the Zhennan Palace alive.

As a mother, she still feels heartbroken when she thinks of the injustice the child suffered.

"Are you not afraid of being troubled by others?"

"Haha," Xiao Yunxi ate a piece of dessert, "Let's talk about it when they live to that time."

Old Madam Dong also came to pay her respects today, and several female members of the Lu clan who were on good terms with Xiao Yunxi also came.

On the way home in the carriage, Madam Dong thought for a moment, "The people who came today are all well-known figures in the capital, and they are all clearly in the same mind with the Ningguo Mansion."

They were not doing it for the Prince of Zhennan's Palace to see, but for the person in the palace to see.

Lu Guifang knelt aside, feeling very nervous.

After I returned home that day, my mother-in-law slapped me in the face and made me kneel for two days. My knees are still bruised.

Even her husband was extremely dissatisfied with her. Not to mention caring about her, he never even glanced at her.

"The Zhennan Palace is completely ruined. Considering the fact that you have given birth to children for the Dong family, as long as you don't return to your parents' home and behave yourself, I will still let you continue to be the first lady."

Madam Dong stared at Lu Guifang and said, "If you make another mistake, I will send you to be a nun, and you will never come back until you die!"

Lu Guifang shuddered, "My daughter-in-law knows."

The Prince of Zhennan's Mansion is probably of no use. Without her mother's family as a support, she will never be able to stand up straight again.

I'm lucky enough not to be divorced. Not to mention making mistakes, I even have to think twice before I speak.

Now she finally understood how happy it was to have Xiao Yunxi as her sister-in-law.

In the pigpen of the Zhennan Palace, Lin Wan'er looked at Lu Jingting in despair.

"You want to sell me to a brothel? Why?!"

"You are trying to murder my eldest son!"

"Lu Zhan is not your biological son, and now he has been removed from the family tree. He has nothing to do with you anymore!"

"so what?"

How? How could Lu Jingting be so heartless to her!

"You said you would love me and care for me forever!"

Lin Wan'er burst into tears, "How can a grown man go back on his word?"

"Tsk! I said I would be a good father and take good care of Lu Zhan, but in the end you still burned him to death?

Yun Xi once said that a man's promise is like the howling of a wolfhound, it is just the estrus period and is not worth believing. "

Yunxi, Yunxi, you call me so affectionately.

"Aren't you afraid that Ze'er and Yuan'er will hate you? How can they live like this if their mother becomes a prostitute?"

Lu Jingting lowered his head and adjusted his sleeves. "Based on what you have done, they hate you now and wish you would die. Have you forgotten?"

Lin Wan'er felt as if someone had grabbed her throat. She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.

Lu Jingting sneered, stepped forward and pinched her chin, "Enjoy it, this is my 'reward' for you."

With a wave of his hand, Lu Quan brought two maids and tied Lin Wan'er up tightly like a dead dog, stuffed her mouth with pig food, and dragged her into the carriage and took her away under the cover of night.

Lu Jingting looked at the carriage going away and murmured: Zhan'er, your father has avenged you...

----------------------

"As the God of War of the Great Calendar, are you free, little uncle?"

Xiao Yunxi looked at Mo Ruochen, who was sitting at the dinner table with a big horse and a golden sword, and couldn't help herself. This man has come to the Ningguo Mansion to eat for several days in a row. Is the Dingyuan Palace very poor?

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes at Mo Ruochen, then glanced at Duke Ning who was sipping wine beside her with a half-smile, and smiled, "Nannan, please be polite when talking to your 'elders'."

Mo Ruochen paused with his chopsticks in his hand, "I am only nine years and seven months older than Yun Xi..."

"The generation gap is there. Even if you are nine years and seven months younger than her, you are still her uncle."

"We are not relatives, just a polite address."

Xiao Yunxi ate her food elegantly, pretending not to hear what they were saying.

She has lived two lifetimes, and although she has never been in love with anyone, there are at least eighty people who have flirted with her...

Besides, rebirth doesn’t mean loss of mind, so how could he not understand the affection in Mo Ruochen’s eyes.

But she herself didn't want to.

First of all, love hurts people;

Secondly, she had just jumped out of a fire pit. Who knew if Mo Ruochen was the next Lu Jingting? They had only met a few times, so how could there be so many loves at first sight?

Thirdly, she has money, status, and an independent mansion. She can afford to keep a hundred or eighty lovers. They are obedient and sensible and she doesn't have to worry about them. Isn't it much better than getting married?

"Princess, there is news from the Zhennan Palace."

"Oh," Xiao Yunxi raised her head, "How is it?"

Xia He reported back, "Lu Quan dumped Lin Wan'er in a brothel near the South City Gate and gave the madam there a sum of money, saying... that Lin Wan'er should receive customers non-stop."

The eldest princess curled her lips, "Men are really not good things!"

Duke Ningguo almost choked to death. He hastily drank a glass of water and patted his chest, "Madam, Confucius said: 'Not all crows are black. There are good black crows too. We can't generalize.'"

Xie Yuanfeng glanced at him and asked, "Which one taught you that?"

Duke Ningguo: ...Can he say it is himself?

Mo Ruochen covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "I also saw it in an orphan copy..."

Xiao Yunxi rolled her eyes and ignored them. She turned to instruct Xia He, "Two days later, pass on Lin Wan'er's news to Marquis Wu'an."

"Nannan, why two days later?"

"Mother, when you came back from the palace today, didn't you say you met Noble Lady Fu, Lin Wan'er's twin sister?"

"Yes, I heard from Concubine Hui that she is pregnant, and your uncle is going to raise her status, I think to the position of a concubine."

Xiao Yunxi smiled faintly. Marquis Wu'an was the closest to Prince Duan, so naturally he was in the same boat with the Empress, and naturally he was her enemy.

The favored concubine in the palace has a sister who is a prostitute. The fate of the concubine is self-evident.

Besides, whether Lu Jingting wants to repent or not is his business, but whether he wants revenge or not is his own business.

He wanted to kill Lin Wan'er, but she refused!

Bitches have to be locked up with scumbags!
