The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 162 Forced to give birth to a child
After a busy day, Lu Wan lay down on the chaise longue covered with snow fox fur after taking a shower.

The charcoal stove at my feet warmed my whole body, making me even more tired.

While Lu Wan was drinking bird's nest porridge, she listened to Xi Yan, who was responsible for inquiring about the gossip in the house, talking about various gossips.

"Miss, do you know why the Marquis came back after catching an adulterer, but he doted on Aunt Meng again?"

"Why?" Lu Wan was too busy these past two days to care about this.

"Chang Sui, who followed the Marquis, said that when the Marquis arrived, Meng Ruyi said that she wanted her brother to find the best abortion medicine for her, and that she wanted to give birth to a son for the Marquis. At that time, Yu Xiuyan was held by her brother They refused to be taken away by the Marquis, and the Marquis kidnapped the three of them in anger. Who knew that the man and Yu Xiuyan were snatched away halfway, and the Marquis became even angrier, cursing all the way. Aunt Meng is despicable, flirtatious, and deceived him. "

"Unexpectedly, when Aunt Meng returned to the house, she cried and complained that she had not been sorry to the Marquis. She said that if the Marquis did not believe her, he would beat her to death. She actually found out the pregnancy pill. She said that someone in the house wanted to force her to death and framed her. . Said that her brother was afraid that someone in the house would harm Yu Xiuyan, so he refused to let him return to the Lu Mansion. Later, for some reason, the Marquis stayed in her room again. "

Lu Wan bit the silver spoon and half-squinted her apricot eyes: "Meng Ruyi is really amazing."

"No." Xi Yan frowned, "Chang Sui said that even he could see that her brother had a bad relationship with her, so she could make the Marquis fall into it again."

Lu Wan threw the silver spoon into the porcelain bowl: "Tell your mother to keep an eye on her and tell me immediately if there are any signs of pregnancy."

Zhiruo was instructing the little maid to clean up the bowls, and her face sank when she heard this: "With them eating and drinking, it will be good to live a good life in the Marquis Mansion. If they talk too much, the girl will kick them out."

As long as it doesn't get in her way.

"Yes. Big girl, those people in the second and third bedrooms keep saying bad things about you. It's ugly to say that you eat everything."

"They won't be able to stay for a few more days, and they're not eating from me now, so don't worry about them." Lu Wan didn't care.

Xi Yan didn’t want to say anything further.

"You are so thoughtful. You don't know that these victims say that you are a fairy who comes to earth to save people in distress."

Zhiruo sat at her feet and pinched her feet: "That's true, but girl, you are getting married on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. What will you do with the disaster victims at home?"

Half of the food and cold-proof materials that Dongqing and Jiaxing worked hard to recover were used for disaster relief, while the other half was sold quietly at a better price, making a lot of money.

She wanted to prevent chaos in the capital, prevent others from taking advantage of her, and at the same time give credit to the queen and the others. As for herself, she didn't want to be too high-profile.

Mrs. Wenxinhou actually led her consort Lu Qianzhi and eldest daughter-in-law Shen Wenting to visit Li Yuyi in person with New Year's gifts.

……

"I'm just trying to find a time tomorrow to discuss it with Sister Yuyi. I think the victims on the list who are willing to go home will be given some money, and those who are not willing can be arranged to work as slaves in various farms for a period of time, so that they can have some income. ”

The next day is the third day of the Lunar New Year.

"Yes."

And she picked out a few New Year gifts from her father and returned them as gifts.

"Just listen to this and don't get involved." Lu Wan said seriously.

Several maids quickly responded.

"Go to sleep, I'm too tired." Lu Wan yawned.

If Li Yuyi refused, it would be disrespectful to his elders, so he had no choice but to welcome the three people into the house in person.

Lu Wan didn't want to be stared at.

Lu Qianzhi called her Yuanyuan gently.

Li Yuyi felt goosebumps all over his body, so he simply pretended not to hear and just talked to Mrs. Wen Xinhou.

Mrs. Wenxinhou held her hand affectionately: "Yu Yi, although you are a noble princess, you are my daughter-in-law after all. As a mother-in-law, I have never cared about you well. I feel really guilty."

"Mother's words are serious." Li Yuyi didn't want to say flattering words, but he couldn't treat her coldly.

Mrs. Wen Xinhou looked at Shen Wenting with a sad look on her face: "Wen Ting is fragile and has been silent for several years after getting married, but it makes me anxious to death. When will my two legitimate sons let me have my grandson?" ." Shen Wenting looked embarrassed and could only stand up and say, "It's all because of my daughter-in-law's incompetence."

"Qiankun's child is also worried. If it doesn't work out, just choose two good children for him. Whoever gives birth to a son will be recorded in your name."

Shen Wenting's expression changed slightly: "Yes."

Li Yuyi frowned. Although she didn't want to get involved in the Lu family's affairs, Shen Wenting had a good relationship with her, so she couldn't just watch Shen Wenting being bullied and ignored.

"Mom, I heard that there is a gynecological master in Bianjing. I can ask her to adjust my sister-in-law's body. As for the concubine's intercourse, it can be slowed down. Otherwise, the concubine's intercourse will have a bastard before the main wife gives birth to a legitimate son. , if word spreads, it will not be good for the Lu family’s reputation.”

Mrs. Wenxinhou choked.

She originally wanted to press her eldest daughter-in-law on this topic, so that her infatuated eldest son would not be able to lay eggs no matter how hard he tried.

But Li Yuyi immediately hit the target with one sentence, blocking her words and not giving her any face at all.

She tried hard to maintain a smile: "Really? That would be great."

Then the voice changed: "Yu Yi, although you are a golden princess, the prince-in-law is also your husband. You should summon him from time to time. Spending more time together can enhance the relationship between you and your husband. You two have been married for a year. , if you can have a child, your father, the Queen, and your mother can have a grandson, right? "

Li Yuyi's face was tense, and he said calmly: "...Let this matter happen as it happens."

Mrs. Wenxinhou glared at Lu Qianzhi who was silent: "How come you can't even say a nice word? Yu Yi is your wife, you have to be considerate of her and love her. If she never gives birth, The child is here, how do you want her to meet people?"

Li Yuyi's face sank, and just when he was about to speak, Lu Qianzhi stood up.

He stared at Li Yuyi's bright but indifferent face, and still said in his usual gentle tone: "Yuanyuan, since you misunderstood me and got angry with me last time in the Jiaofang Department, I have been afraid to see you, for fear that you would see me. I get angry when he comes. But last night, His Majesty asked the Imperial Concubine to send a message and ordered me to move into the Princess's Mansion. I am in a dilemma. Can you please Yuanyuan be considerate of me and save some face for Mrs. Lu?"

Li Yuyi looked at him coldly with her phoenix eyes: "You want to move into my house, you don't need to ask me? But do you have to listen to the imperial concubine?"

Lu Qianzhi looked troubled: "My dear concubine, I also obey your Majesty's decree. Does Yuanyuan want me to resist the decree?"

"Do you want to use your father to suppress me?" Li Yuyi also became angry.

"Oh. Yu Yi, don't be angry. You didn't even visit me and your father-in-law during the Chinese New Year, and we didn't blame you. But resisting an edict is a serious crime, so just have mercy on us."

Mrs. Wenxinhou's eyes were red: "We don't want Princess Shang either, but when you marry into our family, why should we feel sorry for you? Women should fulfill their duties as women."

Shen Wenting saw that Li Yuyi's face was getting more and more ugly, so she hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Mother, why would Yuyi embarrass the Lu family? After she got married, she helped Qiankun be promoted to the rank of third-rank minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The most important thing between husband and wife is getting along, why not just do it with you? Let them talk more on their own?”

Mrs. Wenxinhou nodded after hearing this: "Yes, yes, of course I won't interfere in the affairs of your little couple's room, but I am eager to have a grandchild."

Lu Qianzhi sighed and said, "Mother, please allow me and Yuanyuan to talk more?"

Mrs. Wenxinhou stood up: "Yes, yes, you and Yu Yi talk more. By the way, Wen Ting, didn't you bring gifts to the people in the eldest princess's house? Let's go and distribute them."

Shen Wenting supported her: "Yes."

Li Yuyi hurriedly stood up and bent down to send it off: "Sister-in-law, just leave it to Sui Ru. You don't have to bother mother and sister-in-law to distribute it."

"No, it's Chinese New Year. These gifts are carefully selected by your sister-in-law. They are all selected according to the status of servants in your house." Mrs. Wenxinhou stretched out her hand to pull Sui Ru.

"Sui Ru, let's go. I personally picked out a pair of jade earrings and a pair of bracelets for you. Let's go together and see if you like it?"

Sui Ru quickly looked at Li Yuyi and saw her nodding, so she had no choice but to be pulled out by Mrs. Wenxinhou.

Shen Wenting looked back at Li Yuyi and whispered, "You and your third brother should have a good talk. Everything must have an outcome."

Li Yuyi originally didn't want to be alone with Lu Qianzhi, but Shen Wenting was right, everything must have an outcome.

Simply, she would tell Lu Qianzhi openly and honestly today.

Even if we can't reconcile, everyone will go their separate ways and live in peace.
