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

Chapter 55

Lu Jingting returned home exhausted and went straight to Shou'an Hall to pay his respects.

"Grandma, your grandson is back."

When he saw that the old lady had a gloomy face and didn't want to pay attention to him, he knew that Lin Wan'er must have done something wrong again.

He was really annoyed. How could this woman not know her limits?

"Madame Li, what did she do again?" Lu Jingting glanced towards Lin Wan'er's room.

Seeing that the old lady had no objection, Nanny Li took out the sachet and recounted the whole story in detail.

The old lady covered her chest and angrily scolded, "Your sister's family will be coming to the capital soon. Your brother-in-law can be regarded as a disciple of Grand Tutor Xiao. He has made great achievements in his position in the past two years and has a bright future."

"I don't care how much you love that slave girl, even if you love her to death, you have to behave yourself during the days you stay at the Dong family, and don't make any more jokes!"

"It's rare for our Zhennan Palace to have such a promising relative. Don't let your love affairs ruin it!"

Lu Jingting blushed for a rare moment.

"Yes, grandson understands."

While on business trips these days, he had long understood how insignificant his status as the "Crown Prince" was and how hard the Ningguo Mansion was.

When it comes to "Prince of Zhennan", no one treats him well. But when it comes to him being the son-in-law of Grand Tutor Xiao's granddaughter, everyone from local officials to scholars and businessmen look up to him.

Seeing that Lu Jingting understood the seriousness of the matter, the old lady asked bluntly, "Either you send her out tomorrow, or go back to the countryside, or rent a small house in Beijing? You also know that this woman is restless and has a restless mind. Wait until the Dong family is settled, and then find a reason to bring her back?"

Lu Jingting knew that the claim of taking the child back was just a cover. Once sent away, it would be impossible to take him back in the future.

He actually had the idea in mind, but when he thought about how Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er were about to faint from crying, he just couldn't bear to do it.

"Grandmother, Ze and Yuan are still young. If they quarrel again without seeing their mother, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?"

The old lady sighed, "If it were you, I shouldn't have kept Lin Wan'er from the beginning. Who knows, maybe Ze'er and Yuan'er could be like Zhan'er, and be as close to the princess as she is to him."

"Brother Zhan is now studying at the Ningguo Mansion every day, and he can even get personal instruction from Grand Tutor Xiao. This is something that many people would beg for. Who knows, he might be able to rely on the Xiao family to have a good future in the future."

The old lady gnashed her teeth in hatred, "Look at Ze'er, his handwriting is average, his knowledge is average, and even his manners are average. Let alone Yuan'er, who can't even recite the Three Character Classic, and her handwriting is as bad as a dog's. She's not even as good as the maidservant beside Yunxi!"

"In my opinion, such children can only bring shame to the Lu family. We should just kick them out along with their mother."

Lu Jingting also felt a little regretful, but what was the use of regretting?

"Grandma," Lu Jingting advised helplessly, "They are now legitimate sons and daughters. How can you kick them out so easily if they have done nothing wrong?"

The old lady sneered, "In the final analysis, you are indecisive and greedy! You are reluctant to give up Yun Xi's beauty and family background, and you can't let go of Lin Wan'er's gentleness and obedience!"

Lu Jingting was embarrassed by the old lady's criticism. He quickly bowed and turned away.

The old lady looked at her grandson in anger as he fled. "If I wasn't afraid of hurting the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, I would have given that slave a bowl of medicine and put an end to it!"

Nanny Li offered a cup of hot tea and asked, "Are you going to keep Lin Wan'er in the mansion like this?"

The old lady sneered: "She dreams of being the principal wife every day, so she will definitely not stay in the wing room obediently. Why not find an opportunity to take her into the mansion and make her a concubine!"

"How can this prince agree to this! She will have to make a fuss too."

The old lady put down the teacup heavily and said in a cold voice: "Refused? What's the difference between her and Hongyu? Hongyu can be a concubine, so why can't she?"

"But they have always said that she is a distant cousin of the Lu family, and can be considered the prince's cousin. It is unreasonable to let a cousin be a concubine."

"What's the big deal?" The old lady didn't care. "I have her indenture in my hand. I can go to the government office to cancel her slavery and change her identity. I can enter the government office as a concubine as a good girl, isn't that enough?"

"But can the princess accept it?" Nanny Li was still a little worried.

"Do you think Xiao Yunxi doesn't know Lin Wan'er's background?" The old lady thought about Xiao Yunxi's methods, and her heart trembled. "Lin Wan'er is now a 'visitor cousin' and she can't get any good from her. If she becomes a concubine in the future, Lin Wan'er will be even more miserable!"

"Won't that delay Master Ze and Miss Yuan?"

"Even if they are Jing Ting's biological children, they are illegitimate after all, and their moral character is average. They have no future. If they are useless, then they are useless. At most, we can give them a farm in the future and send them away."

The old lady really doesn't care about these two children.

If they were Xiao Yunxi’s biological children, how outstanding they would be!

The old lady suddenly coughed twice, and Nanny Li stepped forward to calm her down. "I'll ask the doctor to take your pulse later. You need to take good care of yourself for a few days. You'll be busy later. Lin Wan'er's matter won't be resolved in a short time, so why not plan it slowly?"

The old lady nodded, and went back to her bedroom to rest with the help of Nanny Li.

As Lu Jingting walked on the road, the old lady's words and Xiao Yunxi's face flashed through his mind, making him more and more irritated.

Before he knew it, he arrived at the door of Feiyu Pavilion.

"You are less than three months pregnant now, so you must be careful. Ask a doctor to check your pulse tomorrow. Don't be afraid to spend money."

Xiao Yunxi was talking softly to Hongyu when she looked up and saw Lu Jingting standing at the door.

She stood up calmly and bowed softly, "May the prince be well."

Hongyu and Cuiwei also quickly stood up and saluted.

Lu Jingting walked in slowly, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.

Xiao Yunxi said calmly: "Does the prince have any instructions?"

Lu Jingting shook his head.

"Then please go back, my lord. I need to rest."

Lu Jingting looked at her with a stern expression.

Xiao Yunxi looked at him coldly, not wanting to be outdone.

Although Hongyu and Cuiwei were afraid, they still slowly moved to Xiao Yunxi's side.

Lu Jingting smiled when he saw this. The concubine was so protective of him. She was really a qualified mistress.

"Xiao Yunxi, even if you are the first-rank Princess of Changle, you should know that a married woman should obey her husband. I am your husband."

Lu Jingting's voice was extremely cold.

Xiao Yunxi smiled sweetly, so beautifully that it was beyond description, but the words that came out of her mouth were as hard as a knife.

"Husband? Prince Lu, ask yourself, are you worthy?!"

Lu Jingting looked at her straight in the eyes, strode up to her, and said word by word: "Whether I am worthy or not, I am your legitimate husband!"
