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

Xiao Yunxi looked up in confusion, "Who is the other one? Why don't you tell me?"

Chun Xiao hesitated a little, "There is another older child named Lu Zhenyuan. Both his parents are gone, and he lives a hard life with his elderly grandmother. Everyone says that this child has a bad fate and will bring bad luck to his father and mother..."

Is it him? Xiao Yunxi murmured, thinking of the things in her previous life.

Lu Zhenyuan was bullied a lot because he had no parents, and he lived with his grandmother and depended on the support of the clan. When his grandmother passed away, he had no money to hold a funeral, so he actually ran to the palace to beg the old lady, kowtowed, and it was very heartbreaking to see him.

She really couldn't bear it at the time, so she asked the people around her to give him silver and sent someone to help him take care of his grandmother's funeral.

Later, Lu Zhenyuan became a steward in the palace, responsible for purchasing matters for the female relatives in the backyard.

She was already very ill at that time, and all the capable people around her were eliminated. The Lu family was controlled by Lu Yiming and his sister, and they lived a life worse than death. Even the food was cold and rotten.

But whenever he came to deliver things to the backyard, he would always receive an inconspicuous oil-paper package, sometimes a meat bun, sometimes maltose...

She knew it was him.

That child was the only person in the Lu family who had ever given her warmth.

"That child had a hard life, but he was a good child with a strong character, kindness and filial piety."

If possible, I would raise him as my own, to repay the friendship from the previous life.

Secondly, the child’s biological father was Lu Jingting’s servant.

If my own son is not even as good as the son of a servant, what a shame.

"By the way, how is the investigation of Lu Yiming and Lu Pingting's biological mother going?" Xiao Yunxi nodded in appreciation while eating the soft and glutinous rice chicken. The chef of the Zhennan Palace was quite good.

Chun Xiao thought of the visitor's report and said angrily, "Princess, that distant cousin was originally the prince's personal maid. Six years ago, she climbed into the prince's bed and had a child. When the old prince found out, he was furious and almost deposed the prince."

"Oh?" Xiao Yunxi put down her chopsticks after hearing that. "What happened next?"

"Later, the prince threatened to commit suicide, and the old prince couldn't bear it, so he sent the maid to a farm in the countryside and gave her medicine."

"I never thought that the maid was lucky. Although she had her period, she still managed to save the baby."

"But..." Chun Xiao hesitated for a moment, looked into Xiao Yunxi's eyes, and said softly: "Some people said that they saw the eldest master go to see the maid..."

Xiao Yunxi was shocked when she heard this, "Lu Jingan?!"

She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed. It seemed that Lu Jingting was also a fool in his previous life.

Chun Xiao and Xia He looked at each other in confusion, "Princess?"

"Chunxiao, you said before that Lu Yiming and Lu Jingting are somewhat similar?"

"Yes, princess, I heard that their eyebrows and eyes are very similar."

Hearing Chunxiao's answer, Xiao Yunxi was even happier. Lu Jing'an was the eldest son of the Zhennan King. He looked very similar to Lu Jingting, and his eyebrows and eyes were like those of the Zhennan King...

It was the old prince who made the final decision and chose Lu Jingting as the crown prince, but the Prince of Zhennan preferred Lu Jingan.

Later, Lu Jingan's biological mother was beaten to death by the old lady, and Lu Jingan and Lu Jingxian were driven out of the capital...

Xiao Yunxi pondered for a moment...picked up the chopsticks, and continued to eat the glutinous rice chicken with a smile.

The next morning, Xiao Yunxi went to Shou'an Hall to pay her respects.

When the old lady learned in the morning that Lu Jingting was still sleeping in the study last night, her face turned ugly. She felt even more guilty towards Yun Xi. She took her hand and asked kindly, "Does the princess want to visit the Princess of Yongning?"

"Yes. My granddaughter-in-law and Sister Yongning are close friends and have a deep relationship. She has been married to Jiangning for three years and now she has returned to Beijing. I want to go visit her."

The old lady frowned and said, "I heard that Princess Yongning is extremely unruly... Not only does she disrespect her parents-in-law, but she also forbids her husband to take a concubine?"

Xiao Yunxi's eyes were slightly cold, and she replied indifferently: "The Princess of Yongning County and I both grew up by the Queen Mother's side. The Queen Mother often praised her for being polite and gentle. Grandmother, I'm afraid you heard it wrong."

"You must have heard it wrong. How could someone praised by the Queen Mother be someone who doesn't follow the rules?" The old lady smiled awkwardly. "Since he is your good friend and we haven't seen each other for several years, you should go visit him."

After saying that, he also instructed Nanny Li to prepare a generous gift for Xiao Yunxi and asked her to take it with her.

Xiao Yunxi took Chunxiao and a cart of gifts out of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

Chun Xiao asked in confusion in the carriage: "Princess, you and Princess Yongning have always been at odds with each other. You always quarrel every time you meet. Why would you want to visit her?"

Xiao Yunxi closed her eyes and smiled, "I miss her and want to have a fight with her."

Chun Xiao was shocked, "Princess, you...you must not do anything when the time comes...Xia He is not here, and I cannot beat the maids of Yongning County Master..."

Xiao Yunxi said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I promise I won't do anything but talk."

Chunxiao was even more shocked. The princess had been gentle and gentle in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion for the past two years. She was not as domineering as before. No, she was more free and easy. What happened to her today?

"Princess Yongning, I didn't invite you to come here. Please don't be offended by my presumptuous presence."

Xiao Yunxi was very excited when she saw the Princess of Yongning County.

In her previous life, when she was falsely accused of being unfaithful to her husband, the Princess of Yongning firmly stood up to defend her, saying that she believed in her and ran around to plead for her...

Whether in the past life or now, they haven't seen each other for many years.

"I am honored to have Princess Changle here. How dare I be surprised?" Princess Yongning, Mu Qingyun, rolled her eyes in an inelegant manner.

...still so annoying...

"Xiao Yunxi, why are you looking at me?!"

Xiao Yunxi came back to her senses and smiled, saying softly: "Sister Yun, I haven't seen you for many years. I miss you very much."

Mu Qingyun was stunned by the voice of "Sister Yun". It had been many years since she heard Xiao Yunxi call her "Sister Yun".

Xiao Yunxi looked at Mu Qingyun's stunned expression and couldn't help but laugh. She walked forward and sat next to her, "Sister Yun, I came to you this time because I want to ask you something."

Mu Qingyun immediately became alert, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yunxi said, "I remember that Sister Yun's aunt married the scholar who won the third place in the imperial examination at that time, but they divorced later and remarried within a year?"

The laws of the Dali period were strict. Although divorce was allowed, the conditions were extremely harsh.

A married woman must obey her husband. Not only in the official family, but also in the ordinary family, a woman is not allowed to marry twice. Especially the royal family, who attach the most importance to face, will never let a woman go back to her parents' home.

Even if the husband died young, the wife or concubine without children would be buried alive with him, while the wife or concubine with children would remain widowed.

Mu Qingyun's heart tightened, and he immediately held Xiao Yunxi's hand tightly and asked, "Did the man surnamed Lu bully you?"

Seeing the worry in Mu Qingyun's eyes, Xiao Yunxi felt warm in her heart, "Sister Yun, I'm just asking casually."

"My aunt was a noble lady from a noble family, and the scholar was from a poor family. At first, they were nice and polite. But later, whenever he got mad outside, he would come back and take it out on my aunt. Beating and kneeling were considered light punishments, and his sexual intercourse was even more brutal and vulgar... My aunt got pregnant twice, but both times she lost the babies because of his torture. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she ran back to her parents' home for help."

Xiao Yunxi was a little surprised. There were many men from noble families who beat and humiliated their concubines and maids, but she had never heard of anyone hitting his wife.
