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

The two of them accompanied the lady to have breakfast. Dou Jinzhao was going to listen to the responses from the housekeepers and the wives. Lu Changyuan was supposed to go out of the house to do some business, but he followed Dou Jinzhao all the way.

After passing through the east-west hall, Dou Jinzhao stopped in front of the large painted screen wall and asked, "Does the Duke have anything to say?"

"Why did you stop taking the contraceptive soup?" Lu Changyuan lowered his eyes to look at her. The person in front of him had bright eyes and white teeth, and was incredibly beautiful, but her face was frosty, which inevitably made people feel a little aggrieved.

Dou Jinzhao sneered in his heart and thought, you asked for water three times last night. If you ask someone to drink contraceptive soup again, wouldn't it be a waste of all the hard work in the middle of the night?

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, when my family and I were watching the moon with my mother, she said that there had not been any new babies in the mansion for many years, and that she could hear the crying of babies every year in the East Mansion next door. I thought, whoever comes out of the belly is the flesh and blood of the Duke, and whoever doesn't call me mother, why should I care about the legitimate and illegitimate children?"

Lu Changyuan stared at her blankly for a while, and then said, "It's good that you think this way. You and I are married to each other by the Queen, and you are my legitimate wife. No one will be able to surpass you in the future."

He paused, feeling somewhat guilty, and said, "I will stay at the Fragrant Courtyard tonight. Don't worry, I will give you a child."

Xixiangyuan is the courtyard where Dou Jinzhao lives now.

Lu Changyuan plans to consummate his marriage with her tonight?

Give her a child?

Dou Jinzhao looked at his broad and tall back. If looks could kill, Lu Changyuan would have stabbed him six times by now.

After dealing with the matters in the mansion, Dou Jinzhao returned to Xixiangyuan. Before he could do anything, Hongying came. She held her waist, twisted in, walked with a limp, and looked very unnatural. She knelt down and saluted Dou Jinzhao.

"No need to be so polite!" Dou Jinzhao motioned Qiu Shui to help her up and gave her a seat. "You worked hard serving the Duke last night. The Duke has been away from home for the past year and has no one to serve him. I was wondering who would be the one to suffer yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Luoxia and Qiushui were having a hard time trying to hold back their laughter.

Two blushes appeared on Hongying's cheeks. She was born with pretty eyes and eyebrows, sharp tongue, and was smart. She had been with Lu Changyuan for many years, adding to his charm. She could also read a few words and was quite proud of herself.

With a shy smile, Hongying said, "The Duke has been away for a year, and he has no one to serve him. When he returned home yesterday, we servants had to bear the brunt of the burden. I came here today to thank Madam for the soup she gave me today. Madam, you are so kind, I will never be able to repay you even if I make a promise in my next life."

She knelt down again and kowtowed to Dou Jinzhao.

"Get up! You are the first one to serve the Duke. Who else should I give this honor to if not you?" Dou Jinzhao took off a golden hairpin from her head and gave it to Hongying. "Serving the Duke well is better than anything else. If you can have a child, I can speak for you in front of the Madam in the future."

Hongying was overjoyed. Dou Jinzhao meant that if she could have the Duke's child, she would be promoted to a concubine.

Hongying kowtowed, "Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam! If it is true... I am willing to raise the child in your presence and let him be filial to you all his life."

Dou Jinzhao smiled and said, "We'll talk about the future later. Well, I don't need you to serve me anymore. If you have nothing to do, go to the warehouse and get two pieces of soft cloth and some materials to start preparing."

"Yes, thank you, ma'am!" Hongying went back gratefully.

Dou Jinzhao walked in, changed his clothes, and told Luoxia, "Send the news that the Duke wants to consummate the marriage with me tonight back to the Dou family and let the second young lady know."

Luoxia was greatly surprised, holding Dou Jinzhao's clothes in a daze, "Madam, could it be that the second young lady really has such thoughts?"

Although Dou Jinzhao didn't know what had happened, at the moment, Dou Miaojin was the only variable, and she suspected that Dou Miaojin had also been reborn.

"Yes, she has always had this idea about the Duke." Dou Jinzhao didn't take it seriously, "Let Hong Ran show up and pass her news to Feng Ye Tinghai, and let Feng Ye Tinghai sell the news about Hong Ran."

In her previous life, she asked Dou Miaojin to buy news about Hong Ran from Feng Ye Ting Hai. It was Hong Ran who came forward to cure her of the love poison. If she wanted to marry Lu Chang Yuan, she had to cure the poison.

Love poison is a kind of poison used by the people of Xiliang to deal with their love rivals. It is very strange. If the poisoned person does not fall in love, the man will have abundant energy and blood, and the woman will have beautiful skin. But once they fall in love, black spots will start to grow on the head. Each time they fall in love, the area of ​​the black spots will double in size. The person becomes extremely ugly, like a yaksha.

Once it spreads throughout the body, the poison will cause death.

Of course, most people would not die from the poison. After all, normal people would not have such a strong taste and would not have intercourse with a yaksha without any psychological burden.

In the previous life, didn’t Dou Miaojin return alive from Xiliang?

In this life, Dou Miaojin already has a black spot at the base of her ear. Her luck is as good as ever, and the first black spot did not appear on her face.

Dou Miaojin will definitely find a way to contact Hong Ran.

As soon as Lu Changyuan came out of the palace, he was stopped by someone from the Dou family. They were sent by Dou Miaojin, who said they had news about Hong Ran, but they had to go to a farm to buy the news.

Lu Changyuan was overjoyed. He met Dou Miaojin in front of the Suzaku Gate, and the two of them rushed out of the city.

Dou Miaojin sat in the carriage. She opened the curtain a little and looked out at Lu Changyuan. The man had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was as steady and eye-catching as a mountain when sitting on the horse. "Brother Changyuan, I'm really sorry. You finally came back. You should stay at home and spend more time with your sister. I should have gone alone. I was afraid that if something went wrong, I would disappoint you."

Lu Changyuan glanced at her. The girl showed her smooth forehead, her skin was white as snow, and her bright eyes were particularly pitiful. "This is a big deal. Even if you didn't inform me, I would go with you if I knew. Your sister is well-educated and sensible. She won't take it to heart."

Dou Miaojin smiled, "My sister has always been like this. She is always tolerant to others. No matter how others annoy her, she will never take it to heart. But, Brother Changyuan, does my sister treat you like this too?"

Lu Changyuan was silent for a while. He remembered Dou Jinzhao's tearful face and felt a little like having a heart attack.

Dou Miaojin said with a smile, "Brother Changyuan, if I like someone and he dares to treat me badly, I will definitely not agree."

She was so innocent and full of joy that Lu Changyuan couldn't help but smile.

The sound of horse hooves came from behind him, and before Lu Changyuan could come to his senses, a total of eight riders flew past him.

The team was in the shape of a tower. Running in the front was a woman with a black veil on her head and a tight black dress that wrapped around her slender figure. She exuded an infinite power and had a heroic appearance that was unforgettable at first sight.

Behind her, two women and five men followed closely. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared. Lu Changyuan could not take his eyes off her and asked in confusion, "Who are these people?"

For some reason, he always felt that the back of the woman in black in the front looked familiar.

Dou Miaojin saw the leading woman flash by and screamed in surprise, "Quick, follow her, that's the Rouge Sword, that looks like the Rouge Sword!"
