Lu Menghua couldn't believe that Tang Xiuyan actually said such ridiculous things as asking her to beg Lu Jiuqing.

"Joining the house and becoming a common wife is already the result of my concession, but you still want me to be a concubine?"

"Forget it about being a concubine, do you still want me to beg her for this opportunity to be a concubine? Tang Xiuyan, do you know what you are doing?"

"I am the legitimate daughter of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, and she is just a concubine. Why?"

Tang Xiuyan was extremely impatient, but every time his eyes fell on Lu Menghua's belly, he took a deep breath and allowed himself to endure it.

"Menghua, just think it's for me and the future of our children. Is it okay to wrong you this time?" Tang Xiuyan continued to coax, "I had no other choice, so I took this step."

"Absolutely impossible!" Lu Menghua said through gritted teeth.

Tang Xiuyan was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "If you hadn't refused to be with me, I wouldn't have been with Lu Jiuqing."

Lu Menghua: "...In the end, you are still blaming me."

"I'm not blaming you, I just want to say that we are all responsible for getting to this point." Tang Xiuyan said calmly, "Since you are so reluctant to let go of your face, then let you go."

"It's just that you have lost your innocence, and you can't hide it from others in the future. What will they do to you then?"

Lu Menghua blinked, as if he didn't recognize Tang Xiuyan at all.

"Are you... threatening me?"

Tang Xiuyan said calmly: "I'm just telling you that I am your best choice."

"If you marry me, I will be very good to you, and also very good to our children. In the future, I will definitely rise to power, and I will never let you lose face and regret your choice today."

"..."

Lu Menghua fell silent, took a few steps back, and lowered his head for a long time.

After a while, Lu Menghua raised his head, his eyes were very red, and said miserably: "Okay, I'll beg her."

When Tang Xiuyan heard her promise, his heart suddenly dropped back into his chest.

He stepped forward and hugged the person, and returned to his previous gentleness and patience: "Menghua, just think about it. Don't worry, I will treat you well."

Lu Menghua leaned in Tang Xiuyan's arms meekly, his eyes were cold where Tang Xiuyan couldn't see him.

-

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Jiuqing knocked on the door and walked in.

In the room, the two of them had separated and were sitting on their own chairs.

Lu Jiuqing seemed not to notice the subtle atmosphere between the two, and placed the medicinal supplements prepared in advance in front of Lu Menghua.

"These are all the things he saved through hard work. I don't get to see them on weekdays, but today they are all given to the fifth sister."

Lu Menghua glanced at the medicinal materials, then at Tang Xiuyan, pursed his lips and said, "Thank you, Sixth Sister."

"Don't thank me, after all, it's not mine."

Tang Xiuyan said at this time: "You are the mistress of this family, so what is mine is naturally yours."

Lu Jiuqing sneered and did not answer his words.

Tang Xiuyan looked at Lu Menghua and kept winking at Lu Menghua.

Lu Menghua clenched his fists so tightly that his silver teeth were almost broken. He finally stood up with a heart, then walked to Lu Jiuqing and knelt down with a plop.

Lu Jiuqing raised an eyebrow: "What is Fifth Sister doing?"

Lu Menghua closed his eyes and said every word with great difficulty: "I, I have something I want to ask my sixth sister to do."
