Lu Ruoyun had to admit that she understood the Second Prince's temperament very well.
After she finished speaking, the Second Prince's expression immediately softened.
"Yunyun, what are you saying? You and I are already husband and wife, and of course, I must be responsible for you. Moreover, Yunyun has always been a kind and good girl since childhood. I don't believe you would do such a thing. The child in Qingyue's belly is not just hers, but mine as well. In the future, when the child is born, they will also call you mother," the Second Prince said. Da Feng Novel Network
Who cared if Su Qingyue's child called her mother? Couldn't she give birth herself?
Where did men get the confidence to insist that the legal wife was willing to be a mother to illegitimate sons and daughters?
Lu Ruoyun remained silent, her head bowed.
The Second Prince pulled Lu Ruoyun into his arms. "I was wrong just now. I was also anxious. And scared that there might be people with ulterior motives around you, instigating and persuading you."
As he said this, the Second Prince glanced pointedly outside, where Mama Ma was waiting.
"Your Highness, the people around this concubine, I will naturally keep them in check," Lu Ruoyun replied.
The Second Prince believed he had appeased and controlled Lu Ruoyun.
After all, Lu Ruoyun had said, "Even if I dislike Madam Yue and her unborn child in my heart, for Your Highness's sake, I will treat them with care, simply because they are people Your Highness cares about, and I cannot bear to see Your Highness sad." This showed how important he was in her heart.
The Second Prince was content.
Little did he know that after he left, the gentle and kind Lu Ruoyun vented her anger fiercely.
The more attentive he was towards Su Qingyue and her child, the more she wanted to kill them.
It wasn't because she liked the Second Prince so much, but because it concerned her dignity.
"My dear lady, anger harms the body. It's too much of a loss to hurt yourself for those people. From now on, whatever His Highness says, just don't take it to heart. You're too indecisive! If the Empress hadn't had only this one son, how could she... As I said, you must quickly give birth to a little imperial grandson. With the guidance of the Lu family, he will surely be extraordinary." Mama Ma said earnestly.
Lu Ruoyun took a few deep breaths. "Mama is right."
"By the way, Mama, what about the people we sent out?" Lu Ruoyun asked.
"They only shot one arrow and didn't succeed," Mama Ma said. "That Qi Zhenzhen was merely startled."
"Did they get any leverage?"
"The person escaped," Mama Ma replied.
"Meddlers. This time, consider it a warning to them," Lu Ruoyun said.
Feng Yin heard all these words, not a single one missed.
Lu Ruoyun had made a move against their madam?
Feng Yin didn't know about Qi Zhenzhen being startled. She had come to eavesdrop to see if Lu Ruoyun had any more bad intentions.
Unexpectedly, she heard something significant.
After Feng Yin returned and told Su Qingyue about it, Su Qingyue's face showed an expression of guilt. "It's all my fault for implicating Madam Gu. If they hadn't helped, I might have fallen into the hands of the Lu family by now. Feng Yin, you must quietly leave the manor and give Lord Gu and Madam Gu a heads-up. Lest they be unguarded against Lu Ruoyun and fall into her trap again."
Su Qingyue still had people from Emperor Chongwen around her, so Feng Yin was not worried about her safety.
Besides, she would be back soon.
The news brought by Feng Yin surprised Gu Sinian.
He had suspected the Lu family, suspected the Empress, and had a fleeting suspicion of Lu Ruoyun, but he had dismissed it.
He never expected that it was indeed Lu Ruoyun who had instructed the people!
