Da Suining

Chapter 196
"The second prince told me...he knows, he knows me..."

"Know what about you?"

"He once inadvertently overheard the imperial physician discussing in private that the imperial physician had shown my original wife's infertility and also given me the pulse...the imperial physician said privately...so I am useless, because I can't bear children , I am born with a deficiency..." Lu Ying blushed to the ears, if it wasn't for testifying against Guo Kai, how could he open his wounds in public?

She still remembers that year, when her original partner, Mrs. Chang, was already terminally ill, and she didn't know people clearly, and she didn't even know Lu Ying very well.

As usual, Lu Ying invited the gray-haired imperial physician to see Chang's doctor and get medicine. Chang knew he was about to die, so he didn't want to drink any more medicine, and refused to see the imperial physician.

Lu Ying sat with the imperial physician for a while, the imperial physician talked about Chang's illness, he only said that Chang's illness was the result of accumulating over time, it didn't happen overnight, even with medication now, it won't get better, just stay for two more days, let Lu Ying prepares for the next life.

After Lu Ying heard this, he became very angry and almost fell off the chair. The imperial physician took his pulse at that time, and after taking the pulse, the imperial physician's complexion was not very good, and his speech was hesitant.

Lu Ying wondered in his heart, just thought he was sick too, maybe he was still seriously ill?That's why the imperial physician looks like this?

The imperial physician just said, "Your Majesty Lu is fine, if you rest more, everything will be fine." He prescribed medicine for Lu Ying, and left in a panic.

At that time, I still thought that this imperial doctor was a bit strange.

It was only later that the imperial physician knew that he was infertile.

Women in Xuanguo were infertile, so they would be divorced and returned to their natal families.

If a man is sterile, he will be ridiculed.

Perhaps the imperial physician thought that Chang's life was not long, and because of Lu Ying's official position as the right lieutenant of the Shenji Camp, he saved face for him and did not tell the truth.

Guo Cheng happened to go to the imperial hospital and heard the imperial physician tell another imperial physician about Lu Ying.

Once Guo Kai met Lu Ying in the city, and teased him, "What is Mrs. Lu busy with? You are flustered."

"It's just to earn a living."

"You don't need to earn too much money, and you will have no children to support in the future anyway. There is no one to inherit the family property."

"Second prince, you—"

"Don't be angry, you can't have children. It was the imperial doctor who said it, not me. The incense of your Lu family is gone."

In Xuanguo, this can be regarded as a curse word.

Lu Ying almost couldn't hold down the knife.

Guo Kai rode a long way in the carriage, and turned back to Lu Ying with a word: "Don't think my words are harsh, honest words are harsh. Don't be sad, I just don't laugh at you."

Later, Lu Ying felt more and more that something was wrong, so he specifically blocked the imperial doctor for this reason, went to sit in their house for a long time, finally waited for him, opened his mouth and asked him, "You have served in the palace for half your life, I believe you. Medical skills, just tell the truth, I have been married for many years and have no children, what is going on?"

The imperial physician was still hesitating.

"Now that my wife is dead, I'm much less concerned about my children and grandchildren. You just say, I don't blame you."

Only then did the imperial physician tell him, "Mrs. Chang's body is healthy and there is nothing wrong with it. It is Lu Ying who is strong on the outside and can't bear children."

When Lu Ying heard the news, it was as if someone had poured cold water on his face.

At that time, it was a cold day, and it snowed night after night. The long street in Qingcheng was covered with snow, half of the wheels of the carriage were buried, and it was extremely difficult to move on the road.

Standing houses in Qingcheng are all white-roofed. Standing on Qingcheng Mountain and looking down, they seem to have grown mushrooms.Snow white and crystal clear, shining with silver light.

If there were no such bad things, it would be very pleasant to step on the snow at this time, enjoy the snow scenery, and make a cup of warm plum tea.

But Lu Ying didn't have this thought.

Because of the heavy snowfall, most of the people hid at home, opened the windows and watched the snowflakes swirl and roasted charcoal fire.

Lu Ying stumbled and walked on the long street, his head was dizzy and he almost fell over.

He also thought that the ancestors of the Lu family would blame him for his infertility, right?After all, the matter of incense is a major event, and it must not be decided. Otherwise, who will come to offer incense in the ancestral hall or in front of the ancestral tablet on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year?Isn't it desolate?
But he can't bear children, so how can he continue the incense?
He once thought about adopting him, but he is strong and strong, so it would definitely make people laugh.

Later, a matchmaker introduced the current wife, Mrs. Liu, who was so well-behaved and capable that she comforted Lu Ying's wounded heart.

When he couldn't sleep at night, he thought over and over again, even if he has no children in this life, the Lu family still needs a wife to support the scene. He spends most of his time in the Shenji Camp. Such a big mansion cannot live without people take care of.

And Mrs. Liu was eager to marry in, even if she was a concubine, she was willing, and even asked the matchmaker to send a message that if Lu Ying didn't marry her, she would become a monk and become an aunt.

Lu Ying couldn't bear it anymore.

So after marrying in, they respected each other as guests, and then mixed oil with honey.

In order to seek a son, Liu often got up before dawn, took a carriage and went to Huguo Temple to offer incense.It is also very pious.

It's strange to say that not long after Liu's marriage, menstruation stopped.He started to retch after eating, and vomited out all the food he ate until his face turned pale, like a dead person.In this way, Mrs. Liu has already braced herself to manage in the mansion.

Later, I asked a doctor to check, and it turned out that Mrs. Liu was pregnant.

When the doctor told Lu Ying the news, Lu Ying was so shocked that he didn't even eat his dinner.

He tossed and turned all night, wondering if Mrs. Liu had done something to offend him, otherwise why would Mrs. Liu get pregnant instead because he couldn't have children?
But after all, it is a matter of life and death, what if the doctor is wrong, what if he is still fertile?
This is like rain and thunder in the sky. No matter how powerful a person is, he can't predict it every time, can he?
The most important thing is that Mrs. Liu really has a child in her belly. When Mrs. Liu's belly gradually bulges like a small hill, when Mrs. Liu is lying there, holding his hand and putting it on her belly, her belly The water is like sea water, with ups and downs, when he felt the little guy in Liu's stomach not sleeping at night, rolling from side to side, and even kicking Liu's stomach up and down, his heart melted up.

He had never been so happy.

If the child is born safely, the Lu family will have a descendant.

In the future, the incense of the Lu family will be continued.

Although he has no great future in his life, he has no worries about food and clothing, and has a family to import. He is worthy of the ancestors of the Lu family and the ancestors of the Lu family.

He began to serve Liu graciously.

He didn't let Liu Shi do anything, but let her lie down and rest.

Mrs. Liu is restless, she has to take care of internal and external affairs, and she is only willing to stop at night.

But at this time, Lu Ying would always ask the servant girl to bring a wooden basin of hot water, and personally scald Liu Shi's feet. After scalding her feet, she would spread the quilt for Liu Shi and personally wait for her to sleep peacefully.

During the few months of Liu's pregnancy and childbirth, Lu Ying lost a lot of weight, but she was happier than anyone else.

Mrs. Liu was about to give birth, and Lu Ying went to hire a midwife. She was pregnant in September, and when she gave birth, Mrs. Liu was so upbeat that she gave birth to a big fat boy.It's a full circle bigger than ordinary newborns.

Lu Ying was happy, so she gave the midwife a ten tael of silver, and gave two extra months' money to each of the servants in the mansion. Then she went to Huguo Temple to fulfill her wish, donated the silver, and bought long firecrackers. , Surrounding the Lu Mansion, there were confetti all over the floor.

Of course, the full moon wine is also required.After all, it was a big event. Colleagues, members of the clan, and Liu's natal family all came, and the grand banquet was held, and all the guests returned with satisfaction.

Lu Ying drank two glasses less, and secretly stopped the imperial physician who said he was infertile.

The imperial doctor was also a little embarrassed, said congratulations, and started to leave.

Lu Ying insisted on keeping him, and said to him, "Is it because your inaccurate diagnosis has caused me to be in a trance for the past few months. Are you good at medicine or not? Don't go out and hurt people."

The imperial physician's job is to treat people, if Lu Ying's words got out, wouldn't it ruin his job?What's more, he still has to hang out in the palace?
So the imperial physician took it lightly and said, "Master Lu's infertility doesn't mean Mrs. Lu can't have children."

"What do you mean by that?"

"If your lord wants to understand, I will teach you a way to prove whether this man is a descendant of the Lu family."

Lu Ying told herself in her heart that she couldn't prove it.

If it turns out that this child is not a descendant of the Lu family, how will it end?To or not to?To stay or not to stay?Don't you want to make this imperial doctor laugh at you for the rest of your life?Wouldn't he want to be the laughing stock of Qingcheng people?How can this be tolerated?

If there is no certificate, the imperial physician is provocative, and he looks cowardly. After all, the imperial physician is the best doctor in Xuanguo. He showed so many women in the palace to see the fetal appearance.

He was at a loss.

But then he thought of Liu Shi's gentleness and consideration, Liu Shi's ability and kindness to him, and the night she married him, she gave herself completely to him.How could such a woman betray her?
If you don't prove it, wouldn't you insult yourself and her as well?
Perhaps it was to restore Liu's innocence.

Perhaps it was to repay his innocence.

Lu Ying followed the advice of the gray-haired imperial physician and secretly had a "Blood Recognition"

As a result, he didn't close his eyes all day and night. The child didn't belong to him, and he and the child had no blood relationship at all.

Lu Ying locked himself up, broke the teacup, tore the calligraphy and paintings, and cut a few pieces of the bedside curtain with a knife.

He even wanted to rush out with a knife in his hand, and ask Mrs. Liu who this child belonged to and who did it.

He also wanted to raise the knife to end the child, so that no one would judge him in the future.

One can imagine that the child is fat, soft, and cute, and one can't put it down. Thinking about Mrs. Liu's beauty and good looks, she is his good wife. Thinking about him being middle-aged, he can't have children. The ancestors still need successor incense lamps.

Lu Ying put down the knife.

Since life is still going on, we can only live in a calm manner.

He first gave the imperial physician 200 taels of silver, which was regarded as a seal, and the imperial physician agreed well: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Now that Mr. Lu says that the child is his own, it is his own. We outsiders, no one can say no, I This mouth fits perfectly, and will never say a single word."

Later, Lu Ying bought jewelry and clothes for Mrs. Liu, and bought two maids and three wet nurses to serve Mrs. Liu and the child.

If life is said to be impossible, it is impossible.

If you say you can pass the day, just grit your teeth, it will pass.

As time goes on, the relationship with Liu Shi is getting deeper and deeper, and the two are getting more and more in tune. He does not need to speak, and Liu Shi can understand what he means. When he coughs at night, Liu Shi quickly put on his clothes and sat up. Beat his back for him, if he had a nightmare, Liu would hold him in his arms, sleep with him all night, stroke his back, let him calm down slowly.

And that child, like a little snowball, rolled bigger and bigger, rounder and rounder, round and chubby, at first he could not move when he was lying down, he could only kick his legs, and slowly began to crawl , slowly leaning on the edge of the bed and trying to stand up. When he was one year old, he didn't want gold, silver, treasures, clothes, food, or abacus beads. He just grabbed a sword. Relatives said that this child is Lu The descendants of the family, at first glance, are their own. Like his father, they have lofty aspirations and are made to be generals when they grow up.

Now, the child is walking very steadily, and he keeps calling "Daddy, Mother." If one day Lu Ying eats less rice, the child will hold the rice bowl and rub it in his arms." Daddy is hungry, Daddy is hungry, feed Daddy rice."

He also told himself that perhaps this child was God's will.

How boring would his life be without Mrs. Liu and his children?Dull?

After Chang's death, he no longer wanted to experience the cold atmosphere at home.He was afraid that he would be alone and sleepless every night, afraid that he would speak his heart to the lamp alone, and that even his dreams would be lonely and cold.

He originally thought that even if the child is not his own, if he keeps this secret until he dies, the child will be his own. At that time, who will know, and it doesn't matter if he is biological or not.Anyway, he is destined to be a descendant of the Lu family.

But God did not wish.

He underestimated Guo Cheng.

Guo Kai asked Lu Ying to take the place of murder. On that rainy day, he whispered to him in the restaurant, "Your child is not your own. I heard the old doctor say it with my own ears. Lu Ying, you don't want people in the world You all know, right?"

Guo Cheng's mouth was always ventilating.

If it was revealed that the child was not his own, Lu Ying might not be able to hide it even if he wanted to.

At that time, not only the tribe will not be able to tolerate Mrs. Liu and the children, but people in Qingcheng will probably sneer at it.

He was single and weak, so he might not be able to keep such a big secret, nor would he be able to protect their mother and child.

Therefore, he agreed to the conditions proposed by Guo Kai.

Even at the cost of your life.

It's not that he doesn't cherish his own life, it's not that he doesn't want to grow old with Mrs. Liu and have fun with his children.

But the existence of Guo Kai is a ticking time bomb.

Once Guo Kai revealed this matter, the life of Lu Mansion would be over.

For the sake of Mrs. Liu and the child, Lu Ying had already endured the fact that he was not his own, so he could also endure Guo Kai's threat.
