After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

Chunxiao looked at Ruan's back and sighed: "The princess is really lucky. She has a mother-in-law who manages the household in front and a daughter-in-law who worries about her in the back. All she has to do is eat and drink, and she doesn't have to worry about anything."

"That may not be the case. The prince has not returned home for many years, and he has not even written a letter. If the old lady is gone, the princess will have no one to rely on, and life will be very difficult."

When Xia He saw Xiao Yunxi's cold face, she realized that she had said something wrong and quickly shut up.

In the previous life, the old lady and the old prince passed away before the prince, but Lu Jingting was still alive, and the prince did not dare to treat his wife harshly. With her supporting him from behind, the princess lived a comfortable life.

Later, he helped Lu Jingting and Lin Wan'er to bully her, calling her a hen that couldn't lay eggs.

Xiao Yunxi's eyes turned cold and she walked away.

Chunxi looked at it in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

Xia He regretted her talkativeness and didn't dare to delay. She pulled Chunxiao and quickly followed.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of Feiyu Pavilion, I saw Lu Jingting lying on a rocking chair in the yard.

"What can I do for you, Prince?" Xiao Yunxi bowed with a cold expression.

Lu Jingting opened his eyes, looked at her, and said nothing.

Xiao Yunxi also looked at him coldly.

"I have already married Hongyu and Cuiwei according to your wishes. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Lu Jingting was very dissatisfied with Xiao Yunxi's indifference.

Xiao Yunxi laughed sarcastically, "What should I be satisfied with? Isn't it about whether you are satisfied or not, Prince?"

Lu Jingting stood up suddenly, approached Xiao Yunxi, and said through gritted teeth, "Xiao Yunxi!"

Xiao Yunxi raised her eyebrows, "Why does the prince look like he was forced into prostitution? Did I force you to go to Ting Yuxuan and Ting Xuanxuan to favor my aunt?"

"I was the one who held you down with a sword and forced you to go there every day?"

"Or did I drug you so that you couldn't help yourself and go?"

Xiao Yunxi continued to sneer and said, "No one is forcing you to favor your concubine now, and no one forced you to marry me back then!"

"He just wants to have it both ways. He obviously can't bear to give up his wealth and glory, but he pretends to be forced into a helpless situation."

"It's so hypocritical!"

Lu Jingting's eyes darkened, his face turned ashen, and he left in big strides.

Xia He put away the hidden weapon in her hand, and Chun Xiao patted her chest, "Princess, the prince's face looks so ugly, just like Bao Gong with a black face."

Xiao Yunxi rolled her eyes disapprovingly, "Don't insult Lord Bao, Lu Jingting doesn't deserve it!"

"Tell the kitchen to prepare some sour plum soup to clear away heat and relieve internal heat. When Zhan Ge'er has finished his lunch break, ask him to come over. I have something to say to him."

"Yes."

After Lu Zhan woke up, he heard the servant's message. He immediately tidied his clothes and went to find Xiao Yunxi happily.

Xiao Yunxi was sitting in the room eating watermelon. When she saw Lu Zhan running in sweating, she waved and asked Chunxiao to bring a towel over. She said, "It's not a big deal. There's no need to be so anxious."

Lu Zhan shook his head, "My son should take my mother's call to heart."

A quarter of an hour later, Chunxiao took the watermelon away and closed the door, leaving the space to the mother and son.

"You have been in the palace for some time. You should know that this palace is not as peaceful as it seems."

"My son knows."

"You are my eldest son now. Although Lu Ze and Lu Yuan were adopted, they are still Lu Jingting's biological children." Xiao Yunxi said meaningfully, "As long as Lu Jingting is alive, you will never be the legitimate heir."

Lu Zhan understood what Xiao Yunxi meant by her words, but he felt even more distressed about Xiao Yunxi's situation.

Understanding the pain in Lu Zhan's eyes, Xiao Yunxi smiled indifferently, "I don't care about Lu Jingting, so nothing he says or does can hurt me."

"On the contrary, he and I are opposites. It's either you die or I die. We are destined not to be able to love each other."

"The most valuable thing in the Zhennan Palace is not the title, but the military power in the hands of the old prince."

"As long as I am here, no matter how many sons Lu Jingting has, they can never compete with you."

"But you have to work hard enough. Whether you can just get the title or hold the military power, it all depends on you."

Lu Zhan nodded heavily and promised: "I didn't want to fight for anything. I just wanted to stay by your side and be filial to you. But from now on, I will work harder to make sure that... the palace will never be able to choose an heir better than me!"

Xiao Yunxi smiled and said, "Mother believes in you. This house will become more and more chaotic in the future. Who knows, someone might even die. Don't be afraid."

"Yes, mother, don't worry."

Lu Zhan bowed and left.

Xiao Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this child had backbone. If he was a hopeless person, she would have to find a way to deal with him.

Next, the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion will be bustling for a while, but I don't know how Lu Jingting is doing and whether he can withstand it.

Chunxiao came in with tea and said with a smile: "Master Zhan gets along well with you and has a gentle personality. With him around, you will have a son to rely on."

Xiao Yunxi curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

"My support has always been myself, not others."

If I hadn't failed to see my own identity clearly in my previous life, how could I have made one mistake after another?

Only by knowing yourself and following your superiors' wishes can you carve out a place for yourself.

In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival is here.

The whole family had dinner at Shou'an Hall and started chatting.

The old lady looked at Lu Zhan and Lu Ze, and suddenly had the idea of ​​testing them on their homework, so she suggested that Lu Jingting set the questions.

Lu Jingting also wanted to know how Lu Ze was doing academically recently. After thinking for a while, he said, "You should recite the Three Character Classic from memory and then write a poem on the theme of Dragon Boat Festival."

Xiao Yunxi chuckled, "Sir, this is too simple. Zhan Ge'er is already studying the Zizhi Tongjian and can write a simple policy paper."

Lu Jingting looked up in surprise. This level of difficulty was already the limit for Lu Ze, but he ended up not even as good as Lu Zhan?!

Ruan also thought it was simple. "The Three Character Classic is indeed a little simple. Even a maidservant can recite a few sentences."

The old lady glared at her.

Idiot with a big mouth for nothing!

She scolded: "Then recite a few sentences for me!"

Seeing the old lady's sharp eyes, Ruan didn't dare to respond. Of course, she only knew the first four sentences.

"Since Zhan and Ze are at different stages of their studies, let's try a different test method." She thought for a moment and asked, "Why not let them write a piece of calligraphy, with any content, to see how their calligraphy has improved?"

"Okay, if we're going to write, let Sister Yuan come along."

Lu Jingting also thought this was a good idea and it would not expose the gap between Lu Ze and Lu Zhan.

Xiao Yunxi raised an eyebrow. A person's handwriting is like his personality. It's likely that Lu Ze's handwriting still hasn't improved. On the contrary, Zhan Ge'er, who practices with a sandbag hanging on his wrist for two hours every day, has seen a drastic change in his handwriting.

As for Lu Yuan, Xiao Yunxi shook her head.

It seems I need to buy some ginseng, because the old lady will get so angry that she will vomit blood more often in the future.
