If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Shen Sui'an ignored Song Xiuzhi.

From the moment Song Xiuzhi walked out of the cellar and appeared in everyone's sight with her bulging belly, she was no different from a dead person.

She was not worried that Duke Lu would suppress the news and prevent the news that Song Xiuzhi had given birth to Lu Heng's child from reaching the palace.

Even if the Lu family really helps each other, she will still let someone spread the news.

"Why does she have such strong malice towards you?" Ruan was confused.

"Who knows?" Shen Sui'an said.

"I really hope the eldest lady can tell Lu Heng the news about Song Xiuzhi as soon as possible." It must be very uncomfortable to have hope shattered.

Oh, she will write a letter to Qu Qingli when she goes back to make her happy.

Ruan said, "Sister Yan had originally asked the old lady to intercede for the first wife and let her return to the Duke's Mansion, but now it seems impossible."

Not only was it impossible, but Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu also had their first quarrel.

"What exactly do you want to do? Haven't I been implicated by you enough?" Uncle Lu couldn't suppress his anger and roared at Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu looked at him coldly. This useless man actually dared to lose his temper with her.

This is the first time in their many years of marriage.

"What else? Should we let the princess remove Heng'er's flesh and blood?" asked Mrs. Lu.

"Heng'er is still young, and the princess doesn't have any children, but she let a concubine get pregnant first. What are you thinking about!" Uncle Lu said angrily.

Mrs. Lu sneered, "Isn't this a family tradition? I learned it from you."

"..." Uncle Lu was furious, "How many times have I told you that I didn't know that woman was pregnant with Lu Yuan. If I had known, I would definitely not have let her stay."

How could such a lowly woman be worthy of giving birth to his child?

What's more, she died of heart disease. This is why he still disdains to mention Lu Yuan's biological mother.

"Have you never thought about the consequences? When the princess has a legitimate son, even if Hengge takes a concubine, I think the palace will not have any objection." said Mr. Lu.

"It is impossible for the princess to give birth to a legitimate son." Mrs. Lu said impatiently.

She really hated Mr. Lu's mediocrity and stupidity. If she had married a powerful man back then, she wouldn't have to suffer this kind of torture today.

Mr. Lu was stunned. "How do you know that the princess can't give birth to a legitimate son?"

"Isn't there a rumor that she was abused?" Mrs. Lu frowned.

"Among so many rumors, none of them mentioned that the princess couldn't have children." Uncle Lu's voice was trembling.

"Tell me, did you do it? Was it you?" He lowered his voice and felt the blood in his body instantly turned cold.

"No." Mrs. Lu looked at him calmly and denied it.

Uncle Lu did not feel relieved. He fell into a chair, gasping for breath.

"You are crazy. You are talking about living in harmony with the world. You are the most ambitious person."

"My son has studied hard for more than ten years and should have a bright future. Just because the princess likes him, is he going to give up everything and willingly become the princess's amusing and playful husband?"

"What can a prince consort do? He is just a useless person who lives off his wife."

"Lu Heng must not waste his life like this."

"Forget about the fact that you are useless, but don't block your son's way." Mrs. Lu said in a low voice.

She walked to Master Lu and said, "You can have as many concubines as you want, but I will not let anyone who hinders my son's future go."

Master Lu pointed outside the door and said, "You have Song Shi here. If the news gets into the palace, do you think Heng Ge'er will have any future?"

"Don't worry about it. I'll keep the Song family for future use." Mrs. Lu concealed the coldness in her eyes.

She didn't care about Song Xiuzhi's life or death, but she wanted to know what would happen in the future in Song Xiuzhi's dream.

Since Lu Heng will be a high-ranking official in the future, he must have supported the right prince. She can plan ahead and make Lu Heng's future easier.

However, Song Xiuzhi said that the Lu Heng in her dream married Shen Sui'an.

So many things happened that were different from what happened in the dream.

If the person who changed the situation was Shen Suian, then we couldn't keep her.

We were going to get rid of her and Lu Yuan here today, but after what happened with Song Xiuzhi, it would be inconvenient to drug them.

Mrs. Lu regretted not getting rid of Lu Ya immediately that day, which led to the situation today that was almost impossible to handle.

The most hateful thing is that her first grandson died young.

This grudge should still be blamed on Lu Yuan and his wife.

……

……

The Lu family ancestral temple hides Lu Heng's mistress, and she is about to give birth.

Sure enough, the news spread within three days.

Imperial Concubine Yao's eyes were stern, and she tried to suppress the urge to throw the teacup in her hand away.

"This is what Lu Heng calls an innocent person, huh." Concubine Yao's voice was cold, and her whole body exuded a murderous intent.

"Your Highness, I heard that you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. However, the son died young and the daughter is weak. It is another matter whether she can survive." Chu Zhi said in a low voice.

Concubine Yao took a few deep breaths before finally suppressing her anger.

"Pass it to Yao Jin."

Yao Jin is her cousin and works in the Dali Temple.

Although Mrs. Huang admitted that she was the one who wanted to harm Guangning, she later found out that she did not have the ability to do it absolutely perfectly.

There must be someone helping behind the scenes.

Otherwise, how could Guangning be lured away?

Now that she knew that Mrs. Lu was hiding Lu Heng's mistress in the ancestral temple, it was hard for her not to suspect Mrs. Lu.

Yao Jin arrived soon.

"Go and investigate Mrs. Bai, the wife of Lu, and Mrs. Song, the mistress of Lu Heng. I want to know what they did before and why Mrs. Song was hiding in the Lu family temple."

When Yao Jin heard this, he asked in surprise, "Song? Madam, is it the bartender Song?"

"Do you know him?" Concubine Yao asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Your Majesty, the Song family's pleasure boat was burned by the river, and a female corpse was found inside." Yao Jin said in a low voice.

They thought it was Song Xiuzhi who was burned to death.

Concubine Yao frowned, "Did Guangning do it?"

"Yes, the prince consort also knows about this." Yao Jin said.

"Song Xiuzhi is not dead. Do you think she and Lu Heng have teamed up to take revenge on Guangning?" Concubine Yao asked coldly.

Yao Jin frowned, "It's possible, but there's no evidence."

"Then let's find evidence." Imperial Concubine Yao said, "Bring Song Xiuzhi to me. Maybe we can get the answer from her."

"I obey your command." Yao Jin naturally did not dare to refuse and agreed quickly.

Imperial Concubine Yao said to Qing He, "Is Madam Lu still reflecting on her actions in the ancestral temple? Send her some instructions and I will help her reflect on her actions. Then send two maids over to teach her a lesson."

However, when Yao Jin started looking for Song Xiuzhi, Song Xiuzhi and her daughter had already been taken away from the village.

No one knows where they are hiding.

The cellar of the ancestral temple was also searched, and some people said that Song Xiuzhi had run away with the child.

"Where else can she run to, unless she wants her daughter to live in this world without name or status." Concubine Yao snorted coldly.

"Chu Zhi, go to Huai'an in person and convey my words to the prince consort."
