Lu Fenghe thought that Shen Nanxun would leave after dinner. He was usually very busy and spent half of his time in the front yard listening to the people in the bamboo garden.
After finishing the evening meal today, I played with Sister Zhen for a while, and then played the nine-ring chain with my brother, which attracted excited praise from my brother.
Knowing that Sister Zhen had been taken back to the ear room by her wet nurse, Cuizhi also took Brother Go to wash up, while Shen Nanxun was still eating tea calmly in the room.
Lu Fenghe couldn't hold it back anymore, "Eat less tea, be careful if you get sleepy."
Hearing this, Shen Nanxun put down the tea bowl, "Lu Fu's tea skills are still a bit lacking."
Lu Fu was about to confess, but Shen Nanxun waved his hand, "Stop it, my wife and I have something to say."
The implication is, if you go down, don't come in.
Lu Fufu resigned, and Shen Nanxun noticed that Lu Fenghe's nanny never showed up.
"Why isn't Grandma Gao waiting in the courtyard?"
Lu Fenghe's expression was indifferent, "Yesterday I asked for leave to go to my nephew's house to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, but today I said I'm still hungover and haven't entered the house yet."
"My wife is too tolerant." Shen Nanxun couldn't help but mutter, "Since you are a servant, how can you not regard the master as your first priority?"
Aunt Gao came from the Lu family. Those who said that Aunt Gao was suspected of slapping Lu Fenghe in the face were not suspected, even though what Shen Nanxun said was true.
"The prince said that when she comes back, I will teach you a lesson."
Shen Nanxun just suddenly remembered and said it casually, so he didn't take it to heart and talked about other things.
"There are two things that happened here. First, the ice cubes slipped from the fish basket. The shop was chosen by Erlang's wife, but the person who went to pick up the fish was the boy from the old lady's yard. Qingyan was the Lin family's sister. I’m going to make pickled plums for my girl to pick up.”
Lu Fenghe had made a guess. He was not too surprised when he heard this. He only had a sense of relief that his guess was confirmed. At least he had a direction to prepare for the future.
Instead, Shen Nanxun was surprised by Lu Fenghe's reaction, "You know?"
"I guessed it." Lu Fenghe paused, "Has the Crown Prince been to Fushan Hall?"
Shen Nanxun nodded.
Lu Fenghe raised his head and stared at Shen Nanxun's face for several seconds. He didn't know if nothing really happened, or if he was pretending so well that Lu Fenghe didn't notice anything.
Lu Fenghe fiddled with the flower arrangement on the table, "Mother-in-law should tell the prince, if you want to accept it, just accept it."
Shen Nanxun was a little angry, "I won't accept it!"
Lu Fenghe couldn't help but blush. After all, he overestimated himself. Knowing that Shen Nanxun had someone in mind, he told himself not to take it too seriously.
But Lu Fenghe is still unwilling to be his equal wife, so just treat her as...the Lu family's daughter must not lose her face.
"An equal wife is inconsistent with etiquette. If the prince wants to marry, just wait."
Although the tremor in his voice was not obvious, Shen Nanxun still caught it.
Shen Nanxun consciously interpreted Lu Fenghe's trembling as anger. Lu Fenghe was very angry in his boudoir, and the reason for the anger was that his mother told him to marry another woman.
Shen Nanxun was thinking a little too much at the moment, and in the afternoon he said that he wanted to divorce, probably because of his mother's words.
And Shen Nanxun's silence became acquiescence in Lu Fenghe's eyes.
Narrowing his eyes due to thinking too deeply is a sign that he is angry and doesn't want to wait any longer.
Lu Fenghe's upbringing prevented her from saying harsh words to her, let alone crying endlessly, "If the prince feels that Sister Lin Jia is too old and can't wait any longer, he will have no choice but to wrong her and carry her in on a sedan chair. In the future..."
The concubine is brought in on a small sedan chair. Generally, a concubine may go through the corner door or even the back corner door. If a concubine is lifted, she can also go through the side door, but it is absolutely impossible to go through the middle door.
Only then did Shen Nanxun realize what Lu Fenghe was talking about, and said somewhat unhappily: "Who wants to take care of Sister Lin? What a nonsense."
Lu Fenghe bit his lower lip tightly, the back of his slender neck hung in a beautiful arc, and his long black and dense eyelashes trembled.
Shen Nanxun felt the qi and blood churning in his body, and felt that he could not stay any longer. If he stayed any longer, he would only suffer.
"I really don't like Sister Lin. This is also the second thing I want to tell you. If mother talks about it in the future, you can just blame it on me."
Just then, Brother Bao had finished washing up. Cuizhi led him over. Brother Bao threw himself on Shen Nanxun's lap, "Dad, are you still telling Brother Bao a story about beating up bad guys today?"
Shen Nanxun glanced at Lu Fenghe, who kept his head down and refused to make eye contact with him, and picked up Brother Lao.
"Madam, don't overthink. It's important to take good care of yourself." After saying that, he said to Brother Bao, "Let's go, daddy will take Brother Bao to tell the story of the big bad guy."
Brother Bao cheered. Although he was happy, he still remembered to say to Lu Fenghe: "Mother, Brother Bao will come back tomorrow."
Lu Fenghe raised her head and unexpectedly met Shen Nanxun's eyes. She quickly moved away and pulled Brother Bao's little fleshy hand, "Be good and don't make trouble with daddy."
"Well, Brother Xi will be good." After saying that, he urged Shen Nanxun, "Daddy, hurry up."
Shen Nanxun strode away with Brother Ba in his arms, while Cuizhi stayed behind to serve Lu Fenghe.
"Madam, do you want to take a shower now?" Cuizhi asked.
Lu Fenghe shook his head and sat motionless on the Arhat bed.
What does it mean to not accept Sister Lin? If you want to marry someone else, you can’t let your sweetheart come in aggrievedly?
Yes, the outer room should be pregnant this month. Counting the days, the fetus should be firmly seated.
In my previous life, I was determined not to allow him to take a concubine, and he never had any thoughts of reconciliation. He probably didn't find a good opportunity to bring up the matter of entering the outer room.
In this life, I found the person behind the scenes, and my mother-in-law also brought the concubinage issue directly to Shen Nanxun. He wanted to take the opportunity to bring her back.
The concubine he brought back in his previous life was only six months younger than Sister Zhen. Now he was more than three months pregnant. However, he was brought back five years later in his previous life. He said that the mother of the child was gone and there was no one in the house. The two concubines had an affair, and it wasn't until Brother Lao died that Shen Nanxun proposed that the concubine be recorded in her name.
I'm afraid Brother Bao's death is not that simple.
Lu Fenghe thought about it and clenched his hands tighter and tighter. His long nails dug deep marks into his palms, until the fragile nails were overwhelmed and broke with a snap, and the sharp sections also scratched the palms of his hands.
"Oh, madam, let go, let go, let go quickly, your nail is broken." Cuizhi kept paying attention to Lu Fenghe.
After hearing this, Lu Fenghe broke away from his thoughts and spread his palms. Cuizhi quickly took away the broken nail, took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and also went to get styptic powder.
Lu Fenghe pulled Cuizhi and said, "There is no need to alarm the others. The wound is not deep and there is no bleeding. Let's get some water to wash up."
Cuizhi will not disobey Lu Fenghe's orders. Even if she thinks it is unreasonable, she will not ask or persuade, but will absolutely implement them.
Hearing this, he put down Lu Fenghe's hand uneasily. Lu Fenghe urged, "Hurry up, it's late at night, and it's time for the mother-in-law on the stove to get off her duty."
