Wang Xiu didn't understand what Lu Yunhong meant by closing the net?
But she soon learned that Lu Yunhong seemed to have some plans. Because just after the Chinese Valentine's Day, Pei Shan became the prince's teacher. Although he only taught calligraphy and painting, a young teacher like Pei Shan was very active in the palace.
Is rare.
For this reason, many people came to congratulate him in person, and Mrs. Jiang also persuaded Wang Xiu to hold a lively banquet. She seemed to have seen her son's future, so she was very happy.
However, Wang Xiu declined. She was bulky and inconvenient. And... Pei Shan didn't like the excitement either, but it was just for outsiders to see.
However, she refused, and the eldest princess still made an appointment with Mrs. Zhang from Duke Xu's Mansion, Mrs. Li from Taishi's Mansion, and Mrs. Jiang to come to Lu's house for a reunion.
When Wang Xiu received the news, he went to the door to pick them up.
There was a long row of carriages, with servants from each mansion supporting their masters, or sending the coachmen back, etc. It was very lively for a while.
As soon as Wang Xiu walked down the steps, the eldest princess stepped forward to support her and said: "We are all our own people, who wants you to welcome us?"
Wang Xiu gave a slight blessing to Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li, and said with a smile: "Of course I know that you all love me, but because of this, I can't neglect you!"
Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "We all know that you are warm and hospitable, but you are still pregnant after all. You must put yourself first in everything."
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li agreed, and gathered together with smiles, preparing to enter the Lu Mansion.
At this moment, a carriage suddenly drove up not far away. Looking at the luxurious car cover, I thought someone's lady was out.
Everyone stopped and looked around, thinking they were guests invited by Wang Xiu, and were ready to wait.
The eldest princess even asked directly: "Who is that?"
Wang Xiu said in surprise: "Aren't we with you?"
The eldest princess said: "No."
The other ladies also shook their heads, and just as they were wondering, they saw Zheng Sihan getting out of the car with a slightly bulging belly, and slowly walked over with the help of the maid.
Mrs. Zhang was the first to darken her face and said displeasedly: "Why is she here?"
Wang Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, and his smile became a little colder.
"Who knows? Madam, please come in first!"
With that said, he winked at Qian Liangcai.
Qian Liangcai understood and soon led the way.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang said bluntly: "Come here uninvited? You are such a shameless person. If I leave, I don't know how others will bully your wife. Just let me, an old man, come and deal with her."
As he spoke, the crutch hit the ground heavily.
Qian Liangcai glanced at Wang Xiu in embarrassment, not knowing what to do? Wang Xiu said: "Since the old lady can't get rid of the sand in her eyes, just stay. I was just wondering what she was doing here.
?”
The eldest princess sneered coldly: "She actually has the nerve to come?"
Wang Xiu thought to himself, they are here to check the loot, how come they don’t have the nerve to come?
Maybe, are you secretly happy?
As expected, Zheng Sihan was seen holding her waist from afar. Although her belly was not as pregnant as Wang Xiu's, she had already shown off her "pregnant woman" in an open and honest manner.
The eldest princess stepped forward, full of anger, wanting to stand up for Wang Xiu.
Wang Xiu held her hand tightly and motioned her not to move.
She thinks she can do this kind of slap in the face in public!!!
I saw Wang Xiu swallowing his saliva and looking eager to try.
Are you kidding me? When I went to Wuxi, I didn’t even get a chance to show off. Why don’t you cherish it now?
When Zheng Sihan came closer, she looked more plump than before, perhaps because of her pregnancy, and she also looked more mature.
She was seen standing at the foot of the steps, slightly facing the crowd, and then shouted to Wang Xiu: "Sister, I heard that there is a happy event in the house, and I came here to congratulate you."
The maid next to her brought up the gift in time. It was packed in a mahogany box. I don’t know what it is? But judging from the packaging, I think it should be good.
Wang Xiu took a look, and because he didn't say anything, all the servants of the Lu family didn't move.
When Zheng Sihan saw this, he said in shock: "Since my sister doesn't like it, then forget it."
Wang Xiu saw her talking to herself, and the atmosphere was really awkward. But this was exactly the effect she wanted, so she immediately said: "Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and your sister has been named a concubine because of her meritorious service in giving birth to the prince. As the prince, I am loyal.
Mom, it’s appropriate for you to call me sister.”
Zheng Sihan's mouth froze slightly. She didn't know whether Wang Xiu meant it or just pretended not to understand.
She called her sister, obviously because she wanted to disgust her. What does it have to do with the prince?
Zheng Sihan stroked her belly, raised her head, and pretended to be pitiful: "Sister, you still refuse to recognize me. Do you want me to take the child back home?"
The eldest princess leaned back in anger and tightened her hands in her sleeves, almost losing control.
Mrs. Zhang directly scolded: "Oh, you are so shameless. Whose bastard are you pregnant with? You came to the Lu family to act so recklessly. What? Do you want to give birth to a child and sell it to Mrs. Lu?"
Mrs. Jiang sneered at the side. She had already seen through Zheng Sihan's tricks, but she was just waiting for the right opportunity to expose it and catch Zheng Sihan off guard, so she did not speak.
Mrs. Li frowned and said displeasedly: "Miss Zheng San, although you have committed yourself to Prince An as a concubine, you are from a noble family. Why are you so shameless?"
Hearing this, Zheng Sihan's eyes turned red with grievance. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Mrs. Taishi doesn't know something. Mr. Lu and I... we met eight years ago. If he hadn't married his sister after taking the imperial examination,
We won’t get to this point.”
"Sister, please help me and my lord. I will serve you wholeheartedly from now on and will never compete with you for your favor."
Wang Xiu rubbed his eyebrows, looking embarrassed.
Seeing this, Zheng Sihan covered her face with a handkerchief. Although her eyes were shining with tears, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.
But the next moment, her smile suddenly froze.
Just listen to Wang Xiudao: "This is not a question of whether I want to help you? But... isn't Liu Qing a scholar? When did he become an adult?"
"Also, Liu Qing did not sell himself to my Lu family. I really can't help you with your marriage."
After Wang Xiu finished speaking, he smiled slightly.
Zheng Sihan was so angry that she turned green. She didn't expect that Wang Xiu knew Liu Qing and that her child was Liu Qing's.
But so what?
Now that Lu Yunhong is in the palace, no one can confirm this matter, and she can deny it to death.
Thinking of this, Zheng Sihan quickly adjusted her emotions and said: "What Liu Qing? I know my sister doesn't want me to get started, but there's no need to invent someone, right? Sister, don't worry, even if you live outside the Lu Mansion all your life, as long as you are in your heart
With me, I can still bear this grievance."
"Haha!" Mrs. Jiang laughed, with disdain on her face.
Zheng Sihan looked over, frowned slightly, and said displeased: "Ma'am, what are you laughing at?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang directly mocked: "You are really shameless. You hugged and hugged Liu Qing on the street, just like the brothel girl soliciting customers on the street. She turned around and wanted to leave the child to Mr. Lu.
On your body?"
"Do you really think that no one has seen Liu Qing? Or do you think that the world's eyes are so blind that they can't even distinguish the real one from the fake?"
Zheng Sihan blushed suddenly and looked at Mrs. Jiang in panic.
"You..." How do you know?
Zheng Sihan's eyes widened in horror, and then she quickly looked towards Wang Xiu.
I saw Wang Xiu standing steadily, with a slightly scornful smile on his lightly pursed lips. It was obvious...
