After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

After hearing Lu Ji's words, Qin Xiaoning fell silent.

She said nothing, just stood there quietly, as if she was thinking about something.

Lu Ji's eyes were fixed on her face. He couldn't help but ask her, "A Ning, what are your plans?"

It was not until the man spoke that Qin Xiaoning came out of her thoughts. She looked up at Lu Ji with confusion in her eyes.

Her eyes were always clear, whether she was happy or sad, even when she was giving birth and in excruciating pain, her eyes were still clear.

But at this moment, her eyes had lost their luster, as if all her spiritual energy had been drained away.

Lu Ji's heart was suddenly gripped.

He felt sorry for her.

Just like more than ten years ago, when he saw her thin and helpless standing in the snow outside the mansion, Lu Ji felt the same way at that time, heartbroken, so heartbroken.

He couldn't help but hold her in his arms again, half bent his body, and hugged her: "A Ning, if you hate them, then I will drive them away tomorrow, and never allow that woman to come here again. If you want to recognize her, I don't object. In short, I will listen to you."

After a moment of silence, the little woman laughed at his words. When she looked up at him again, her eyes had regained their bright and clear glow.

"Actually, there's no need to worry so much. Just let it go," she said.

She looks weak, but in fact she is tougher than anyone else. No worldly troubles can affect her. Therefore, even though she has experienced so much hardship and suffered many grievances, her heart is still warm and kind. The look in her eyes when she looks at him has always been as clear and bright as a child's.

There is no other woman in this world who is warmer than her.

Seeing that she was relieved so quickly, the haze in Lu Ji's heart was also swept away, and he remembered to ask her: "Where did you go after leaving the imperial city in the afternoon? I looked everywhere in the mansion, but there was no trace of you."

"I'm back at the palace."

As he spoke, Qin Xiaoning poured himself two cups of tea. The couple sat around a small table, drinking tea while Qin Xiaoning chatted with him, "The New Year is coming soon, and we have to take care of the palace. Most of the maids are from the palace, and we won't be going back there for the New Year anyway, so I let the maids who live in the capital go home for the New Year. For those who can't go back, I also ordered Fulai to give them rewards and told them to spend the New Year in the palace well."

Lu Ji was amused: "You think about it very carefully."

He praised again: "You have been in charge of the family for less than a year, and you are able to manage everything in an orderly manner and with ease. My Ah Ning, you are really capable."

Although she knew that he was flattering her on purpose, Qin Xiaoning still felt happy to hear it, so she started to laugh, so sweetly and beautifully that Lu Ji couldn't help but stare at her.

Before she could react, he had already picked her up and thrown her onto the bed.

There was a little snow outside, and the floor heating in the house was burning hot. She could only hear him whisper in her ear: "A Ning, you are mine."

She took a long time to react before nodding at him: "Of course I am yours."

The man was deeply in love with her, and his infatuation with her was different from other men who loved their wives. His love contained a sense of exclusivity. This was also related to the fact that they had been together since childhood, and she was raised by him, which made him subconsciously feel that she should be his, and no one could compete for even a little bit of her love.

Qin Xiaoning looked at the man above her. She raised her hand and gently stroked his thick brow, touched his tall nose, and extended it to his well-defined lips. She stroked it carefully and whispered softly: "Lu Ji, I will always be yours. Apart from you, there is no one else in this world who is worth my worry or pain."

When he heard these sweet words, his eyes turned red and he leaned over, as if he wanted to rub her into his own flesh and blood.

Princess Yu's heart had never been at peace since she came to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Only after she told her own sister the secrets that had been buried for more than ten years did she regain her former wisdom and clarity.

"I must recognize this daughter."

She told her sister about her plan: "The prince feels guilty about Wan'er's disappearance. He promised me that if he finds Wan'er, he will treat her well. After the downfall of the Zhang family, I have been searching for Wan'er, but there is no news. This time, after I take her back, I will ask the prince to give her the title of princess."

Princess Xian sighed, "I'm just afraid that Lu Ji won't let her recognize him."

When mentioning Lu Ji, Princess Xian shook her head: "He has always been domineering, he is simply a big devil."

"Is mother talking about the Prince of Ningguo Mansion?"

The two sisters were talking here when Princess Huayang, the daughter of Prince Xian's wife, walked in. She didn't even know how to greet people and was just immersed in her own world. She pulled Princess Xian's wife and asked, "Didn't mother promise to marry me to the prince of the mansion? But he has promised to marry me. Mother is discussing my marriage with my aunt, right?"

As she spoke, she began to giggle and clapped her hands: "I'm going to marry Lu Ji, I'm going to marry Lu Ji."

When the wife of the Xian Prince saw her daughter like this, she hurried over to pull her and comfort her, but she couldn't calm her down. Nanny Zhang, who had been responsible for taking care of Huayang, immediately came over and hugged Huayang, saying, "Don't worry, Princess. The Lu family's young master has agreed to marry you. We will get married in a few days. Princess, be good, otherwise, the Lu family's young master will be unhappy."

After being coaxed by Zhang, Huayang really calmed down: "Mammy, where is my wedding dress?"

Zhang hurriedly coaxed, "It's in the princess's room. Madam will take the princess to try on her wedding dress right away."

After much coaxing and persuasion, Huayang finally followed the nanny downstairs, and the noisy room finally returned to normal.

Glancing at her sister's pale face, Princess Yu also sighed, "Why doesn't Huayang's illness get better?"

The wife of the virtuous prince wiped her tears and said: "I have seen many doctors, but they all said that I am crazy. I am afraid that I will never be cured in this lifetime." She sighed again: "When he is sober, he is just like a normal person. But when he is crazy, he talks nonsense."

As he spoke, he could not help but burst into grief: "I don't know what sin I committed in my previous life, to have a pair of children. It would have been fine if the son died young, but this daughter went crazy."

The Princess of Yu naturally knew the reason why Huayang was crazy. She was sure that Qin Xiaoning was her biological daughter. So no matter what Lu Ji was like, he was her son-in-law after all. So she changed the subject and asked the Princess of Yu: "Huayang's wet nurse looks unfamiliar to me. Is she not your dowry?"

"No." Princess Xian said, "This person was originally a minor steward in the palace. She is very smooth in her work. Sister knows me. I am not good at socializing. When I came here, I relied on her to help me manage my affairs. I saw that this person was reliable, so I kept her by my side. Later, I granted her marriage. However, her husband was involved in a palace turmoil and was sentenced to death. She was also implicated, but she was pregnant at that time. I felt sorry for her and tried to save her. Later, her child died at birth. I was not in good health, so I gave Huayang to her to take care of."

After listening to her sister's chatter, Princess Yu frowned slightly and replied, "We are foreign women after all. Even if we are hired, we should use dowry. It is more reliable after all."

She paused and said, "I don't think Huayang, the wet nurse, is a person with good intentions." (End of this chapter)
