Xiang Sanniang told the story of their family honestly.
"Our family was picked up from the south. Someone said they found a good job for us, so we came..."
Lu Qing listened to the whole process quietly without expressing any opinions of her own, which made Xiang Sanniang even more worried. She looked at Lu Qing frequently, trying to analyze some of her emotions from her expression.
"I understand." Lu Qing still looked calm and calm, hiding her emotions and anger deep in her heart and not allowing others to pry. She said, "It's getting late. You guys should go back."
Xiang Sanniang stood up and asked again and again: "Please let us go, I will definitely cooperate..."
When she acted according to Guan Shasha's idea, she never thought that it would happen today. She acted so heartily at that time, but she regrets it now.
If their family was just poor in the past, now their lives are in danger. If I had known today, Xiang Sanniang would not have agreed to come to the capital.
Lu Qing sat on the chair and looked at her. It was obviously from a bird's-eye view, but she showed a superior attitude. She said: "It depends on your sincerity and whether your family is peaceful and cooperative enough."
If she took pity on Xiang Sanniang and casually agreed to her request, then on the other hand, the plot she encountered was all caused by herself.
The enemy is her enemy, and her accomplices are also her enemies. Her position and attitude must not be changed easily. Being soft-hearted will create opportunities for others, and she will ultimately be harmed.
Xiang Sanniang bit her lip anxiously and looked back from time to time, hoping that Lu Qing would change her mind and agree to her request.
But Lu Qing's figure had already disappeared behind the swaying bead curtain.
She let out a long sigh, stepped out of the house with a heavy heart, and called Wei Tao and Wei Ju who were visiting the side room to leave.
Unexpectedly, at the gate of Jinxiyuan, the mother and daughter happened to meet Yan Fuguang, who was returning from duty.
They had lived in the house for a few days and had not seen Yan Fuguang, but it seemed that he had an unusual aura, and since he could freely enter and leave the backyard, his identity was very clear without any special introduction.
She said hello to Sanniang: "I've met the prince."
Wei Tao's eyes lit up and she glanced at Yan Fuguang without any concealment. She spoke before Wei Ju, deliberately keeping her voice soft: "Wei Tao has seen the prince! Is the prince coming to see my sister?"
She had never come into contact with a man of Yan Fuguang's status. Before that, the number one scholar mentioned repeatedly in the script was Wei Tao's pursuit, but today's meeting had a strong impact on her imagination.
Apart from Yan Fuguang's impeccably handsome face, the most important thing that cannot be ignored is his aura. That kind of domineering confidence based on his own strength and the nobility that was nourished by the best resources since he was a child make up his unique temperament. He is full of aggression but particularly eye-catching. He has never seen anyone like Wei Tao. Young women in the world are often impressed by this charm.
The fiercely beating heart made Wei Tao forget where she was. She usually wouldn't feel ashamed to talk about marriage casually, but now she glanced at Yan Fuguang and her cheeks were already flying. Hongxia.
As if she was drunk, she fell into a trance and indulged in her false and brilliant imagination.
"Your Majesty..." Wei Tao walked towards Yan Fuguang step by step at the entrance of Jinxiyuan, where people were coming and going.
Yan Fuguang's pupils shrank slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, sending chills down one's spine.
Xiang Sanniang grabbed Wei Tao in time and said with her heart beating like a drum: "Common people, please retreat!"
She had a hunch that if Wei Tao took a few steps forward, his life would be lost.
Wei Tao was furious and blamed Xiang Sanniang for being too meddlesome: "Mom, what are you doing! I'm talking to the prince, why are you dragging me away!"
Today she finally knew what her husband looked like. The scholar was too elegant, the martial artist was too rough, and Yan Fuguang was just right.
"We live in the palace, and we didn't go out to see the prince. It's really rude. How about..."
How could Xiang Sanniang not know what she was thinking, knowing her daughter, Mo Ruomu?
But she didn't dare to push Wei Tao out. One was because she was afraid of Lu Qing's ambition, and the other was...
"Okay! There are so many beauties in the palace, but you can't even compare to the maids. The prince doesn't like you!"
Xiang Sanniang's straightforward words were like a mirror, reflecting Wei Tao's face.
She was ashamed and angry, covering her cheeks and staring at Xiang Sanniang with hatred: "If you prefer the younger brothers, why do you also favor the eldest sister? She was so beautiful, but I was born like this!"
Xiang Sanniang couldn't argue, so she dragged Wei Tao tightly to prevent her from looking back.
Man Dong sneaked through the window and saw Wei Tao's abnormality. She immediately complained to Lu Qing: "Master, she deliberately talked to the prince!"
They were both women, so Mandong knew that something was wrong when he looked at Wei Tao's shy and timid look.
She stared at the outer door with wide eyes and angrily.
Lu Qing smiled without any disturbance in his heart: "Just talk to me. Let the kitchen prepare some mutton soup first. Your Majesty likes to drink it."
She would feel a sense of crisis because of other people in the backyard, but when it came to Wei Tao, Lu Qing only found it funny.
The thick door curtain was opened, and Yan Fuguang came in wearing court clothes, with a layer of white snow on his shoulders.
Lu Qing smiled and stepped forward to greet him. She wanted to raise her hand to wipe the snow off his shoulder, but Yan Fuguang grabbed her hand first and said, "Liang, please don't touch it."
"Yes." Lu Qing paused, then quickly turned to help Yan Fuguang untie his cloak.
Yan Fuguang enjoyed her attentiveness. After sitting on the soft couch, he naturally asked: "How are you today?"
Lu Qing delayed the recognition ceremony on the grounds of physical discomfort, but Yan Fuguang didn't delve into it that much.
He knew that Lu Qing was pregnant with two children, and he was more concerned about Lu Qing's health.
Lu Qing lowered her head and looked at her swollen belly, smiling gently: "Fortunately, the child is very well-behaved, but I get tired easily."
Only those who have experienced the hardships of pregnancy will understand. Moreover, even if she did not have morning sickness when she was pregnant with twins, her body would still be under a heavy burden and she would not be able to act like a normal person.
"Take more rest when you are tired. Nothing is more important than your body." He was hinting that Lu Qing could refuse if she didn't want to see Xiang Sanniang and others.
Lu Qing thought for a while and decided not to tell Sanniang the facts he had told her yet.
She needed Yan Fuguang to find out the various actions of Guan Shasha and others in the process, and Lu Qing wanted Yan Fuguang to see Guan Shasha and others' conspiracy by himself, instead of finding out and relaying it himself.
Putting yourself on the weaker side is more likely to arouse a man's protective desire.
She wanted Yan Fuguang to see her situation with his own eyes.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a meeting." Lu Qing's smile faded a little, and she was not as interested as talking about the fetus. She said, "And getting closer is what the world wants to see. I can't be too cold."
If someone wanted to watch a play, she would accompany them in the performance. When they thought success was just around the corner, they started to fight back.
