Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

Dou Jinzhao didn't look at him.

Mrs. Dou had a severe headache at this time. She looked at Dou Jinzhao for help, but Dou Jinzhao did not accept her hint.

"Changyuan, Jinzhao is my eldest daughter, and she is already your legal wife. It is impossible for a daughter of my Dou family to be someone else's mistress. I have already arranged a marriage for Miaojin. If there is anything, please let your father-in-law come forward!" Mrs. Dou said in a friendly manner, fearing that she would offend Lu Changyuan.

Lu Changyuan frowned, "Mother-in-law, I plan to marry Miao Jin as my second wife. I thought the Dou family agreed to this."

Dou Miaojin lowered her head, looking shy.

"Jinzhao, are you willing to do this?" Mrs. Dou took a deep breath. She didn't believe that Dou Jinzhao would be willing to do this.

Dou Jinzhao's smile was uglier than crying, and she seemed to be very sad. "Mother, I can no longer have children. If my sister becomes the Duke's co-wife, she can give birth to the bloodline of the Dou family. Isn't this arranged by the Dou family and the Lu family?"

Lu Changyuan looked at Dou Jinzhao in shock, "I can't have children. What's going on?"

Dou Miaojin didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

Mrs. Dou was on the verge of collapse. She didn't expect Dou Jinzhao to be so careless as to reveal such a secret. Has she gone crazy?

"It's just a cold uterus, Changyuan, don't listen to Jinzhao's nonsense. She just fell into a pond when she was a child and got a cold uterus. She will be well soon if the imperial physician treats her body. It won't affect her fertility."

Dou Miaojin was a trap. Mrs. Dou felt that she had gone crazy before to think of letting Dou Miaojin take over. Now she also understood that Dou Jinzhao was still useful.

The Dou family must be closely tied together with the Lu family in order to maintain long-term prosperity.

Emperor Yongjia had four sons in total. The first three were born to Empress Lu, and only the fourth was a bastard. The crown prince was also born to Empress Lu, which meant that the Dou family would enjoy wealth and prosperity for at least another twenty to thirty years.

Dou Yi is from the side branch of the Dou family. If he wants to defeat the main branch, he has to form an alliance with a powerful camp.

Lu Changyuan thought about how Dou Jinzhao had stopped giving Hongying the contraceptive soup, and thought about what she had said, and felt that this matter might not be that simple, and that Dou Jinzhao might really not be able to have children.

The value of a wife who cannot give birth to a legitimate son will be greatly reduced.

"Sister, have you known about this for a long time? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Dou Miaojin saw Lu Changyuan's expression and condemned him indignantly, saying that Dou Jinzhao should not have kept it secret.

Madam Dou was furious. She glared at Dou Miaojin fiercely, "Your sister didn't know before. It was only today that I asked the doctor to check her pulse that I found out. Her uterine cold is not serious. She can be cured by taking good care of it."

As for you, Miao Jin, I have asked a nanny to teach you the rules. From today on, you stay at home and learn the etiquette of a female worker."

Lu Changyuan thought of the twins, Miao Jin and Jin Zhao, who were treated very differently. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Miao Jin and said in a very assertive way, "Mother-in-law, Miao Jin will not marry anyone else. She and I have already had physical contact. I will marry her as my co-wife. Please agree to this!"

Madam Dou was dumbfounded. "Changyuan, if my Dou family can still form another marriage with the Lu family, your father-in-law and I will certainly be happy for it, but Miaojin is not suitable. If you have other requests, we will try our best to agree to them. This matter is inappropriate."

"Mom, why are you like this? You didn't object before." Dou Miaojin vented her anger on Dou Jinzhao, "Sister, did you say something to mother?"

Dou Jinzhao had achieved his goal, and turned to Madam Dou and said, "Mother, you don't have to worry about my feelings. The Duke and my sister are in love. If it is because of me that Mother feels embarrassed, I am willing to personally end my marriage with the Duke and help them be together."

Lu Changyuan's face was gloomy. "Jin Zhao, what do you mean by this? Do you want to ask to leave?"

Dou Jinzhao felt as if he had just heard a big joke. "My Lord, I have never done anything wrong. Why do you think I would ask to be divorced? I will ask for permission to divorce you!"

"This is impossible!" Lu Changyuan never thought of letting go of Dou Jinzhao.

"Ridiculous!" Madam Dou felt that Dou Jinzhao had played a huge joke. How could the emperor stand on Dou Jinzhao's side? She was so disappointed with Dou Jinzhao that she said, "Even if we divorce, you will still be a divorced woman. If you want to go down this path, you'd better find a white silk and kill yourself as soon as possible. My Dou family can't afford to lose this person."

No one took Dou Jinzhao's words to heart, and just thought she was just speaking in anger.

Lu Changyuan took Dou Miaojin away forcefully. Dou Jinzhao sat alone in the carriage back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion and told Luoxia, "Contact Yunqing, it's time to take action. Find a way to get the 500 Xiliang stallions to Changliu Horse Farm, and tell Lao Wan to isolate and treat them. Find a way to infect the 500 stallions that Lu Changyuan brought back with horse plague. After everything is ready, arrange for someone to impeach Lu Changyuan."

Luoxia replied "yes", jumped off the carriage, and rode away at full speed.

Lu Changyuan and Dou Miaojin came to Changfeng Tower again, but Hong Ran was gone. All this was within Dou Miaojin's expectations, but beyond Lu Changyuan's expectations.

After spending 12,000 taels of silver, nothing was accomplished.

Lu Changyuan's face turned pale. Dou Miaojin was a little scared and pestered the shopkeeper, "I have already told Miss Hongran that the Queen's health needs to be taken care of. Didn't she leave any words behind?"

The shopkeeper saw through Dou Miaojin and smiled. He took out a prescription from his arms and said, "The first step to cure a disease is to observe, smell, ask and feel the body. Miss Hongran heard what the girl said and was also very worried about the queen's phoenix body. However, Miss Hongran's medical skills are not superb. If she wants to treat the queen, she must use Yanzhijian, but Yanzhijian is not in the capital at the moment.

However, the rules of Changliu Pavilion are that unless a patient is guilty of a heinous crime, there is no reason to let the patient go home empty-handed. Miss Hongran left this prescription and asked to pass it on to the Imperial Hospital, so that the Imperial Physician can consider and treat the Queen's health."

Dou Miaojin breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why Miss Hongran didn't give it to her yesterday. But no matter what, in Lu Changyuan's eyes, the credit still belonged to him.

Lu Changyuan didn't think that the ten thousand taels of silver were not worth spending. He took the prescription, put it in his arms, and his attitude changed drastically. "I wonder what the relationship is between Changfeng Tower and Changliu Pavilion? Does the shopkeeper know the Rouge Sword?"

The shopkeeper shook his head. "How could I have known Yanzhijian? Miss Hongran stayed at my Changfeng Tower when she came to Beijing this time, and that's how we became friends. As everyone knows, it's a great blessing to be cared for by Changliu Pavilion in the martial arts world."

After leaving Changfeng Tower, the two were in the carriage. Dou Miaojin leaned on Lu Changyuan's arms and boasted, "Brother Changyuan, it's all my fault for not helping you find the Rouge Sword."

Lu Changyuan held the prescription in his hand, his mind on the figure he caught a glimpse of. The shopkeeper said that Yanzhi Jian was not in the capital, but he had a hunch that the person was Yanzhi Jian.

"It's not your fault. If the Rouge Sword was so easy to find, the Emperor would have ordered Rouge Sword to come to the palace to treat the Queen."

Changliu Mountain has an ancestral precept that does not allow its disciples to have any connection with any royal family. Miss Hongran's action is already a great contribution to Dou Miaojin, and Lu Changyuan will only pay more attention to Dou Miaojin.

He sent Dou Miaojin back to the Dou family and went to the Imperial Hospital.

Dou Yi and his wife were waiting for Dou Miaojin to come back. Dou Yi slammed his palm on the table, furious. "You still remember to come back, you bastard. You can even elope. You even want to marry into the Lu family. Do you still have any sense of shame?"

Dou Miaojin was not intimidated at all. "Father, if I were you, I would do everything I could to kill the two spies that Lu Changyuan caught. Then, who would know that my daughter had eloped with someone?"

Madam Dou was stunned for a moment, "What about the love poison in your body? How can you get married if you are poisoned like that?"
