"I don't think you look like a maid."

"I wanted to ask last time, but I was afraid it would be inappropriate to ask. Now that Prince Di has asked, I might as well ask."

Faced with the questioning of the two, Ouyang Lingxi was unable to tell his identity for a while.

Just as she was hesitating about how to come up with an excuse.

Ziyun spoke again:

"Ah! Did you commit some mistake and sneak away from home?"

"I see. You're hesitant."

Ouyang Lingxi: ??? Is this even possible?

"Yes...I guess so."

"Originally, my father promised to let my brother and I go out to play, but who knew that my father favored his concubine over his wife, and ended up confining me to my concubine's room and letting my concubine sister go out."

"I felt so sad and cried for days and nights, but my father didn't comfort me, so... so I ran away..."

This...is about right?

So be it?

When Ziyun heard this, he realized it was another dispute between legitimate and illegitimate children.

She was so angry that she put her hands on her waist and said indignantly: "Your father is really a fool. He favors his concubine and neglects his wife like this. Isn't he afraid of being scolded?"

"I'm not trying to coax you? What's the difference between you and Fang Zhengxiang?"

"I think you should just change your father like we did when we married the princess."

Ouyang Lingxi's little mouth trembled.

Change dad?

She wouldn't dare!

……

After Lu Shiwan finished the diagnosis, he went to the teahouse across the street.

Aunt Liu sat opposite her, looked at the meal in front of her, and swallowed.

Seeing that she hadn't touched her chopsticks, Lu Shiwan said something.

"Eat."

Seeing that she didn't understand, Aunt Liu was too embarrassed to pick up her chopsticks.

Seeing this, Lu Shiwan grabbed the chopsticks on the table and started eating.

Aunt Liu felt embarrassed and picked up the chopsticks.

"The food here is not as good as outside, Aunt Liu, just eat whatever you can."

"No, it's delicious." Aunt Liu whispered.

"I am no longer a concubine. Now I have to earn money with my own hands, but this world is not friendly to women."

"It's enough to survive."

She doesn't expect too much.

She used to be a prostitute, and later became a concubine. Where can she find a place to stay now?

The food on this table was better than anything she had eaten before.

Lu Shiwan put down his chopsticks and looked at her.

"You endured humiliation and hardship just to avenge your unborn child. If you can do this, why can't you make a living?"

"I'm a mother, so I can't stand my child being framed like this, but I..."

She couldn't speak.

She was of low status, her home was ransacked, and she had children.

Any one of them, if talked about by the world, would be enough to put her in despair.

“What’s more terrible than gossip is poverty.”

"When you are poor, you have nowhere to go, but money makes the world go round. Aunt Liu, you know this, right?"

The girl in front of him has already grown into a graceful young lady.

It's not that Aunt Liu hasn't thought about these principles, but her thinking is not as straightforward as Lu Shiwan's.

There was no disdain in her eyes; instead, those calm eyes gave her confidence.

"The princess is also so kindhearted. It is right that a blessed girl should not marry into an unblessed family."

"Today, he died, which was also retribution."

Lu Shiwan took a sip of tea and stood up. "Aunt Liu, please eat slowly. I'll pay for this."

After saying this, Lu Shiwan left without looking back.

She helped her because she had never harmed herself and she had helped her mother.

However, she didn't want to have any contact with any of Fang Zhengxiang's concubines.

Not long after Lu Shiwan went out, he received shocking news.

"Madam, Fang Zhirou is missing."

Lu Shiwan was startled, "Missing?"

"Yes, the prince has blocked the news, and no one knows about it yet."

Lu Shiwan felt someone grabbing his waist tightly, "When did it happen?"

"It's been several days. He was taken away by my second brother."

"When the Second Prince left the Imperial City, Fang Zhirou had already sneaked out of the Imperial Palace. She was able to disappear from the Imperial City quietly, so she must have met someone who could leave the city."

"And the prince is the only one who has a chance to leave the city."

Lu Shiwan snorted coldly.

"I didn't expect that she would give up her status as a crown prince."

"After all, she is the prince's concubine. If she leaves like this, I'm afraid the prince might even eat her."

Mo Qitian reached out and took her little hand.

"The prince's good days are coming soon."

"My lady, would you be happy if I took that seat?"

Lu Shiwan was stunned.

Didn’t Mo Qitian always dislike it?

Why now...

"Husband, why are you bringing this up?"

"I suddenly want to take the throne. If the Qian Dynasty is handed over to the Crown Prince, I'm afraid the entire country will be destroyed, and I am the only son of the Emperor who has reached adulthood."

Only that position can protect the people he loves.

Whether it’s my mother, my mother’s family, or… my wife.

Lu Shiwan held his big hand with his backhand and said with a smile: "If you really like it, I will support you."

Their eyes met in the air, and they understood each other without saying much.

Lu Shiwan went shopping with him in Qinyuan City.

"Once everything is settled here, I will take you on a tour."

"Don't you want to visit foreign countries?"

"I'll take you there then."

The two were on the street, and the sunlight stretched their shadows long.

Lu Shiwan looked at the elongated figure, his eyes flashing with joy.

"I've always heard that in ancient times... there were different beautiful sights in foreign countries. If I really have the chance, I really want to go and see them."

"Yes, I will take you there after the envoy leaves."

"Okay."

Remembering what he had promised Mo Qitian before, Lu Shiwan turned his head to glance at Mo Qitian.

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"Qitian, I want to go to the attic tonight to see the night view. Can you take me there?"

Mo Qitian reached out and pinched Lu Shiwan's face.

"Of course, wherever my wife wants to go, I will obey your orders."

"whee…"

Unconsciously, she has integrated into this era, this era of flowery speech.

The two of them strolled on the street for a long time, and Mo Qitian paid for everything that Lu Shiwan liked.

Dabo Lucy stood behind the two of them, her eyes red with anger.

Lu Shiwan, you caused my personal maid to be beaten to death, and yet you are wandering around here like nothing happened.

You and I cannot coexist!

"Want to go to a foreign country? I'll kill you then!"

She secretly averted her gaze, turned and walked away to the other side.

The sunlight filtered into the setting sun and fell on the lobby of the soup kitchen, refracting their taller shadows.

The busy Doctor Qiu was providing free medical consultations to the people, while Ouyang Lingxi and Ziyun Ziyue were assisting him.

Lu Shiwan glanced at the people in the pharmacy and followed Mo Qitian into the carriage.

"Madam, go back and have your meal first. I'll take you there after dinner." He asked softly.

"Ah."

The carriage headed back towards the palace.

Along the way, Lu Shiwan was in a state of tension.
