The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 181 Returning to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!

"Alright, that's enough, I'm going back now!" Wen Nuan glanced at the sky outside the window and felt that it was about time, so she got up and left.

She was preoccupied with Dongfang Wan'er's coming-of-age ceremony, and there were still many things to prepare.

"Okay. Take care, Sister Nuan."

After the warmth leaves!

Lu Wanning said, "Wan'er, Mother is going back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion tomorrow to see your maternal grandfather and the others..." Her eyes revealed her longing and concern for her family.

"Perfect timing, Mother! I'll go with you. My uncle's leg is almost ready for surgery!"

Dongfang Wan'er said with a smile. She was full of anticipation for this trip back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, because it meant she would have the opportunity to treat her uncle's leg injury.

"Wan'er, can your uncle's legs really be cured and he be able to stand up again?" Lu Wanning asked excitedly, her eyes sparkling with hope.

She had been worried about her brother's condition, and now that she heard Dongfang Wan'er say there was a possibility of a cure, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

"Mother, of course! You can rest assured about my medical skills!" Dongfang Wan'er confidently patted her chest and assured her. She believed that with her medical skills, she could definitely help her uncle stand up again.

"Alright, then Mother will go and prepare things for our return tomorrow!" Lu Wanning was overjoyed to receive the affirmative reply. She turned and left, her steps light and quick, eagerly preparing the items needed for her return to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Watching her mother's departing figure, Dongfang Wan'er shook her head helplessly.

She knew her mother would be very happy, but she also understood that the surgery was quite difficult and required more effort and preparation.

However, she was not afraid of difficulties; on the contrary, she became even more determined to cure her uncle.

"This mother of mine! ^3^!"

"Qiuqin, Qiuqin, hey, where did this girl go!"

Dongfang Wan'er searched everywhere, but couldn't find Qiuqin!

At this moment, Qiuqin was deep in a courtyard of the Prince's mansion. She was looking at the secret manual in her hand with excitement, her eyes shining with determination.

"Dark Night, this cultivation technique you gave me can really make me as powerful as you!"

Qiuqin raised her head and looked expectantly at Anye standing to the side.

An Ye shook his head helplessly. He knew that Qiu Qin had always wanted to learn martial arts, but he wasn't sure if the little girl could stick with it.

After all, the path of martial arts is extremely arduous, and even strong men find it difficult to endure the hardships involved, let alone Qiuqin, who is just a delicate young girl.

However, faced with Qiuqin's enthusiasm and determination, An Ye ultimately decided to offer her some help.

He took out an ancient-looking manual from his robes and solemnly handed it to Qiuqin, saying, "Qiuqin, this book is a cultivation method suitable for women. I hope it can help you. But you must remember that learning martial arts is not easy; it requires tremendous effort and sweat. If you give up halfway, not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, but it may also damage your body. Therefore, please consider this carefully."

Qiuqin took the manual, a determined look flashing in her eyes. She nodded vigorously to indicate that she understood. Then, she opened the manual and began to read it carefully.

"Dark Night, can you teach me?"

Qiuqin raised her head, her eyes filled with earnestness. She knew that An Ye was a master in the Prince's mansion, and if she could get his guidance, her cultivation would be twice as effective.

An Ye hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. He felt that if Qiu Qin really wanted to learn martial arts, then he should fully support her.

So he began to explain the key points and precautions of this manual to Qiuqin.

Qiuqin listened very attentively, occasionally asking questions and discussing with Anye.

The two spent an hour in the courtyard like this!

"Qiuqin, Qiuqin."

Dongfang Wan'er was worried about Qiuqin's safety and anxiously searched for her everywhere.

"Dark Night...I think I heard my young lady calling me!" Qiuqin and Dark Night had been practicing for an hour.

Since Qiuqin already had a certain foundation, An Ye did not let her start with the most basic training, but directly taught her basic skills, first the horse stance, and then a series of movements such as running.

"It's the Princess's voice, Qiuqin. Are you really going to keep it from the Princess?" An Ye always came cautiously to teach Qiuqin martial arts.

"Okay, I'm leaving quietly now. Remember, you have to keep it a secret..." Qiuqin quickly ran away.

"Miss, Miss...you were looking for me..." Qiuqin ran out of breath.

"Hmm... Qiuqin, where have you been? Why are you panting so much!"

"Miss, I'm playing with Xiaobai, and I'm too tired!" Qiuqin made up a reason casually.

“Playing with Xiaobai shouldn’t be this tiring.” Dongfang Wan’er stared at Qiuqin with suspicion, feeling that something was wrong, but she didn’t press the matter further.

"I'm tired, Miss. You don't know how naughty Little White is!"

"Then be careful not to get hurt by Xiaobai! Oh, and get your things ready, we're going back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion tomorrow!"

"Okay, miss!"

Qiuqin went downstairs to prepare things!

Dongfang Wan'er looked in the direction Qiu Qin left, feeling that Qiu Qin was acting strangely, but she couldn't find anything out!

At night, after everyone else had fallen asleep, Qiuqin secretly slipped out to practice martial arts under the moonlight. Every move she made was full of power.

She knew that time was of the essence and that she had to improve her strength as soon as possible in order to better protect Dongfang Wan'er.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto the bed, illuminating everything in the room. Dongfang Wan'er slowly opened her eyes and stretched.

Today, she was going back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to visit her relatives and help her uncle treat his leg ailment. Thinking of this, she felt exceptionally happy.

Inside the carriage, Dongfang Wan'er and Qiu Qin sat facing each other, while Lu Wan Ning sat to one side.

While teasing Lu Wanning, Dongfang Wan'er chatted with Qiuqin: "Mother, you're in a good mood today!"

"Yes, Miss, I'm also looking forward to meeting my family from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!"

Dongfang Wan'er nodded gently. This trip back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion would not only allow her to reunite with her family, but also help her uncle recover his health and stand up again.

Dongfang Wan'er was full of confidence in achieving this goal.

The carriage sped along the road, the scenery outside the window constantly changing. As they drew closer to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Dongfang Wan'er's excitement grew.

Seeing the happy smile on her mother's face, Dongfang Wan'er's heart was also filled with joy.

“Yes, just thinking about how your uncle will be able to stand up again in the near future makes me genuinely happy for him!” Lu Wanning replied with a gentle smile.

"Mother, Uncle's leg hasn't even started treatment yet, and you already trust me like this?" Dongfang Wan'er winked mischievously, trying to tease her mother.

Lu Wanning gently pinched Dongfang Wan'er's nose and said with a doting smile, "My child, who else would I trust if not you?"

Dongfang Wan'er laughed happily, hugged Lu Wanning's arm tightly, and said coquettishly, "Hehe, thank you, Mother!"

Before long, they arrived at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Upon seeing that it was Lu Wanning and Dongfang Wan'er, the servants immediately prepared to go in and announce their arrival.

"Oh, no need to announce it, we can go in ourselves." Lu Wanning quickly waved her hand to stop them, but the servants did not listen and quickly ran off to announce it.

"Oh dear, I already said there's no need to report it..." Lu Wanning sighed helplessly.

Dongfang Wan'er comforted her, "Mother, it must have been Grandpa and Grandma who specifically instructed them to do this."

“I think so too.” Lu Wanning nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Lu Wanning and Dongfang Wan'er entered the mansion together. Lu Yanchen led his family out to greet them, and the family gathered together happily.

"Father, Mother, why did you come out? I already told you that your daughter came back to pay her respects. It's not right for you to come out in person!" Lu Wanning walked quickly to her parents and said with a hint of reproach.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, eldest uncle, second uncle, second aunt, youngest uncle, Qingcheng!" Dongfang Wan'er greeted everyone with a smile.

"Oh. Wan'er is so good. I'm happy to see you all here. You child, we in the Duke's mansion don't care about these things." Lu Yanchen looked at her with a kind expression and said cheerfully.

“Yes, Wan Ning…” Ye Jingxia echoed.

"Alright, I'll listen to Mom and Dad." Lu Wanning nodded with a smile.
