Husband, please lend me your virtues

"By the way, I heard that Duke Jingguo would bring his mistress and her son to Sanyuanlou for a meal every month. Duke Jingguo had previously booked a private room at Sanyuanlou for the day after tomorrow."

Since Zhao Zijin asked him to inquire about Duke Jingguo's mistress, he must have some plan against them.

"I wonder what Zijin's plan is?"

"Why don't you take me with you?"

It was a good opportunity to take Zhao Zijin out of the palace to the suburbs for a walk before going to Sanyuan Tower to keep an eye on Duke Jingguo.

"Okay, I'll invite you to have lunch at Sanyuanlou the day after tomorrow."

After Gao Su spoke, Zhao Zijin agreed to his request without hesitation.

"And my sister. I haven't seen her for a long time. I'll invite her to Sanyuanlou when the time comes."

Zhao Zijin thought for a moment and decided to bring Zhao Xinyu along. If she wanted to be the wife of a prince, she didn't necessarily have to be the prince Sun Jue.

"Since Zijin invited me to lunch, why don't we leave the palace early and go out for a walk in the suburbs? Now is a good season for an outing."

There were not just the two of them at the table at Sanyuanlou. There was also Zhao Xinyuo, and Gao Su was not happy about that. He invited Zhao Zijin to go to the suburbs so that they could spend more time alone.

"Okay!"

Zhao Zijin agreed, went to the desk next to him, picked up a pen and wrote an invitation, and handed it to Gao Su, "Then I'll ask Asu's guard to deliver this invitation to my sister."

Although she brought Yan Lin with her when she entered the palace, it was not convenient for them to leave the palace once they entered, so the task of delivering the invitation had to be left to Gao Su.

Zhao Xinyuo spent a lot of time with Sun Jue in the mansion, but Sun Jue was always lukewarm towards her and there was no progress in their relationship.

Anxious Zhao Xinyu found a way to make the nanny beside the wife of Duke Jingguo "inadvertently" know from the conversation of the maids left by Zhao Zijin in the courtyard of Duke Jingguo that the fortune-telling of Zhao Zijin mentioned by Master Jueyun that day had disappeared, and instead it was Zhao Xinyu who had the fortune of "many children and great blessings".

After the nanny beside the wife of Duke Jingguo learned the news, she told her master. In the past few days, the wife of Duke Jingguo had seen several girls whose mothers were fertile and whose married sisters also had many children.

But those girls who are worthy of the Duke Jingguo's Mansion will have no trouble finding a husband, as many young masters from noble families are seeking to marry them. As for those girls from humble families, the Duke Jingguo is not very satisfied with them, as he feels that Sun Jue is being wronged.

She was planning to select some easy-to-give-up children and send them to Sun Jue, and send a few more to see if their bellies could bear children.

If she can do well, it will prove that her son may not have as much difficulty in having children in the future as the doctor said. As for those house-born children, she will be handed over to her for disposal after the Crown Prince's wife enters the mansion.

But Lady Jingguo knew that this was just her delusion. It would be good enough if her son could leave behind a grandson to inherit the Jingguo Mansion. Now she heard that Master Jueyun had said that Zhao Xinyu was destined to have many children and good fortune.

Lady Jingguo's wife became more thoughtful. The father of Zhao Zijin and her sisters was also from a famous family, but their father had no brothers or sons, so the family fell into decline.

Lady Jingguo planned for several days and found the old lady to discuss betrothing Zhao Xinyu to Sun Jue. After Zhao Xinyu nodded, the old lady also agreed to the marriage.

When the post was handed to Zhao Xinyou, she had mixed feelings. Her sister was also lucky. She missed the position of the Crown Prince's wife in this life, but got the position of Princess Kang.

However, the cousin who was the prince that she had tried so hard to snatch away was not as good as the rumors said. He was too close to Zhang Xinghuai, which was disgusting.

If she had a better choice, Zhao Xinyu would rather give up the piece of white rice with fly shit in it, but Sun Jue was already the best choice she could get.

It would be good enough to give birth to an heir to the Jingguo Mansion, Zhao Xinyuo comforted herself, thinking that even if she was fond of men, she would not be able to produce a bastard or a concubine's child to bother her. She had the fortune-telling from Master Jueyun, and she would definitely give birth to a son.

With a son, even if she and Sun Jue fall out, the people in the Jingguo Mansion will stand on her side, which is enough to ensure her wealth and prosperity throughout her life.

Sun Jue just made her feel a little sick. Even though Zhao Xinyu saw how intimate he was with Zhang Xinghuai, she had no intention of canceling the engagement. She had already snatched her sister's husband once, and she couldn't do it a second time.

Perhaps this was God's warning to her that if something wasn't hers, her happiness would not be complete even if she snatched it away.

When Zhao Xinyou came to keep her appointment with Zhao Zijin, the waiter in the store led her to the box where Zhao Zijin was. When she saw King Kang inside, Zhao Xinyou became very reserved.

After a while, Zhao Zijin took Zhao Xinyu downstairs on the pretext of going to the toilet, preparing to go to the backyard of Sanyuan Building.

Just as Zhao Xinyu was going downstairs, she followed Zhao Zijin's sight and saw Duke Jingguo, a woman and a gentle-looking young man entering Sanyuan Tower.

Duke Jingguo held the woman's hand and spoke to the young man in a friendly manner. Seeing that the relationship between these three people was not ordinary, Zhao Xinyu paused.

"My uncle—"

Zhao Zijin tugged at Zhao Xinyu's sleeve, signaling her not to disturb others, and took Zhao Xinyu to the backyard.

"Uncle, does he have a mistress outside?"

Zhao Xinyou was confused, "Is that young man my uncle's concubine or someone else who is not related by blood?"

Zhao Zijin glanced around and saw no one around before speaking in a low voice, "It's a concubine's son, and he's the same age as my cousin."

Concubine!

God!

Zhao Xinyuo couldn't help being shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that her honest uncle would have a mistress outside and even have a son.

Duke Jingguo was really tolerant. Even when the doctor diagnosed that his cousin would have difficulty having children, he still did not bring out this concubine's child.

"Sister, what do you mean?"

Zhao Xinyu's eyelids were twitching. It was obvious that Zhao Zijin had known about the existence of the mother and son for a long time. He specially invited her to Sanyuan Tower just to let her know about their existence.

"My cousin is a man who is infertile. Why don't you look further ahead?"

"Even if you change your fiancé, your sister will still be the Crown Prince's wife."

The words that Zhao Zijin said casually made Zhao Xinyuo frightened and she was inexplicably tempted by Zhao Zijin's words.

But Zhao Xinyou was not optimistic about the concubine, "My cousin is the legitimate prince, how can the concubine compare with him?"

"If I marry that concubine, he won't be able to become the crown prince, then it will be a waste of time!"

"Sun Jue has difficulty in having children and is a homosexual. Once his scandal with Zhang Xinghuai is exposed, Duke Jingguo will probably think that my cousin has tarnished the reputation of the Sun family."

From the information Zhao Zijin gathered from Gao Su, he realized that Duke Jingguo had probably long wanted his son to return to his ancestral home, and when Sun Ying gave birth to his eldest son, he would adopt him under the name of Sun Jue.

This is also the reason why Duke Jingguo is not in a hurry to arrange a marriage for Sun Jue.

"As for whether he can become the crown prince, it depends on your ability with him, sister."

Zhao Xinyou was stunned, and did not make a choice on the spot. She only said: "Although my aunt doesn't treat us as well as my grandmother, she has taken care of us sisters for many years."
