Chapter 153: The Young Lady Who Married to Another Family VS the Disabled Prince
Lu Zhiyan glanced at Aunt Ning calmly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt. I know my body is fine. There's no need to look for a doctor. I'm fine now."
Duke Lu hesitated for a moment and advised, "It would be better to ask a doctor to take a look before we can rest assured. Now that you have recovered from your serious illness, there is no guarantee that there will be something else that needs to be determined. Father naturally hopes that you will be healthy. Even if there is something, we can prepare in advance."
No wonder so many doctors were brought here.
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly realized.
Aunt Ning smiled and said, "That's right, that's right. The Crown Prince's health is important, so we should not refuse the Duke's kindness. Besides, the Crown Prince's health is also related to the incense of our Duke's Mansion, so we absolutely cannot make any mistakes."
Ye Zhenzhen stared at Aunt Ning.
She found that Aunt Ning's smile did not reach her eyes, and the smile on her face seemed a little fake, and was definitely not sincere.
There were people whispering around.
"I heard that the prince has a hidden illness, I don't know if it's true."
"I heard about it, too. They said the Crown Prince was injured on the battlefield and couldn't have children. I heard earlier that the old Duke was interested in adopting a bloodline from a branch of the family below the Crown Prince."
Ye Zhenzhen's mind buzzed.
It turned out that this was what Aunt Ning had in mind. She wanted to confirm Lu Zhiyan's physical condition so that she could prepare for the response.
Her heart froze, and she had a terrible association: perhaps Aunt Ning was also involved in Lu Zhiyan's leg.
Ye Zhenzhen was lost in thought when she heard Lu Zhiyan's gentle voice: "It's cold right now, and my wife is frail. It's really not suitable for her to stand outside for long. Since Aunt Ning and my father are so kind, Lu Zhiyan would be disrespectful to refuse. However, even if we need to call a doctor, there's no need to rush. After today, I can call a good doctor from the city. If that doesn't work, I can ask His Majesty to send me one or two imperial physicians. What's wrong with that?"
Lu Zhiyan understood that Aunt Ning had bad intentions.
Maybe it was because of the position of the Crown Prince, she didn't want it to fall into someone else's hands, so she wanted to test his body first.
His father had mentioned to him before that he wanted to adopt a child for him so that his position as crown prince could be hereditary.
In fact, Lu Zhiyan didn't care about these titles at first. A man can earn his fame by fighting on the battlefield.
However, he got his position because of his mother, and his father became a duke because of his mother, so he didn't want this position to fall into the hands of others.
My mother took a sword attack for the queen. Although she was not seriously injured, she was seriously injured. The emperor was grateful for her loyalty and bravery, so he made her husband a duke and him a crown prince.
……
Seeing Lu Zhiyan repeatedly refusing, Aunt Ning felt confused.
She knew that today was a good opportunity and that it would never come again.
If she asked Lu Zhiyan's people to take her pulse, she would not have the opportunity to find out Lu Zhiyan's condition. If Lu Zhiyan was in good health, she could make other plans.
She couldn't help but step forward and say, "The Crown Prince loves his wife so much, it's truly enviable. I see it's very damp outside, and I'm worried about the cold getting in. After all, the Crown Prince has only just recovered from a serious illness, and he can't stand the cold. How about we move to the inner hall first, and then we can make plans."
Seeing that Aunt Ning's attitude had changed a bit and she was no longer obsessed with finding out about his health, Lu Zhiyan's expression softened. "Well, thank you Aunt Ning for your concern. I'm naturally fine, but my wife is delicate and can't stand the cold. Besides, we've been working hard all day outside and really don't want to stand here any longer."
Aunt Ning couldn't help but glance at the delicate Ye Zhenzhen. She was dressed warmly, wearing a cloak, holding a hot water bottle in her hand, her face flushed, and she didn't look cold at all.
But she had been working all day and her fingertips were numb from the cold.
"Well, the prince taught me that the princess is delicate, unlike us who are thick-skinned and tough." Aunt Ning said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect it. Ginkgo, why don't you welcome the princess in quickly? Don't let her get cold."
Ye Zhenzhen sneered: "Auntie is so delicate, and the prince's few words can actually be considered a lesson. You don't know that when we teach servants a lesson on a daily basis, we are not kind. Oh, I don't mean anything else by saying this, I just want you to stop thinking too much. The prince has no intention of teaching you a lesson at all."
Aunt Ning's face turned pale, her chest heaved violently, and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Madam, that's exactly what you said." Lu Zhiyan naturally reached out and took Ye Zhenzhen's hand as they walked into the house. He immediately put on a gentle and caring look and said, "You must be tired today. I'll ask the maids to boil some hot water so you can take a nice bath and relax."
"Well, thank you, Prince." Ye Zhenzhen leaned shyly against Lu Zhiyan.
"You and I are husband and wife, there's no need to discuss this." Lu Zhiyan put his arm around Ye Zhenzhen's waist, "Madam, please don't be so polite to me."
Aunt Ning closed her eyes and opened them after a while, her expression much more relaxed.
She softly called out, "Crown Princess," and said, "I've prepared pigeon soup for you. It's incredibly nourishing, so why not try it first? I've also had a quilt delivered. They're all good things, and you'll definitely like them. You mentioned wanting to review the household accounts earlier, and they're all ready today, waiting for you, the mistress of the household, to inspect them."
Ye Zhenzhen leaned on Lu Zhiyan's shoulder and said delicately, "I don't know why, but I'm really tired today. Let's look at these accounts another day."
Aunt Ning was bet back and finally said, "It's all fine, as long as it's convenient for you." and left with a grim look on her face.
Aunt Ning returned to her yard and smashed things all over the floor. Lu Zhiang limped on one leg and asked anxiously in a low voice: "Mother, what's wrong?"
"Little bitch, little whore, let her run rampant!" Aunt Ning was shaking with anger, and while speaking, she glanced at the yard.
The yard was quiet, the orange lanterns swaying in the rain looked a bit desolate in the heavy rain.
Although she was only a concubine over the years, she had always been favored by the master and had never suffered such humiliation.
"That little bitch can't be kept, no matter whether the prince can give birth or not." Aunt Ning said to Lu Zhiang: "If you can destroy her innocence, we will have a handle on her. Now Lu Zhiang is particularly fond of that little bitch. If she can really give birth to a child, it will be the prince's heir."
If a woman's innocence is destroyed, she is being controlled.
Lu Zhiyan values that little bitch so much and even deliberately pretends to be a loving couple in front of her, so she is going to let that little bitch get pregnant with Zhiang's child.
No matter what, the future of this marquisate can only be in the hands of them, mother and son.
She had planned so much for this matter, and it absolutely couldn't be in vain.
A stern look flashed across Lu Zhiang's eyes. He uttered a "hmm" and lowered his voice, saying hatefully, "Don't worry, mother. I will never let them have it so easy."
