Three days passed by in the blink of an eye. Luo Shi got up before dawn and ordered her servants to pack things, and also told the housekeeper what to do when she was not at home.

The housekeeper has been with the Tang family for many years and actually knows how things work without her having to give orders.

Recently, the shipping line has just started, and it really cannot do without people. Tang Zhongcheng did not follow it, only Luo Shi, Tang Jiao and Tang Wenqian.

When Tang Wenqian heard that he was going to Beijing, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep. During meals, he often asked Tang Jiao whether the streets in Beijing were clean and prosperous. Tang Jiao shook her head while doing embroidery.

The dress for Lu Changze still had unembroidered hem, so Tang Jiao planned to finish it on the way.

After getting ready, everyone got on the carriage. Tang Zhongcheng stood in front of the small window and said to Tang Jiao: "Be sure to take good care of your mother and brother on the road."

Tang Jiao nodded and said obediently: "Father, don't worry, grandpa will be waiting for us at the junction of Cangzhou and Huaizhou."

Tang Wenqian got his head out of the window and said loudly: "Don't worry, father, I will take good care of my sister and mother."

"Okay." Tang Zhongcheng touched his son's head and said with a smile: "Listen to your mother and sister on the way. The capital is different from other places. Don't talk too much later, watch more and listen more, and don't be pushy or reckless."

Sometimes Tang Zhongcheng is very lucky. Fortunately, Brother Qian is his biological son. He is diligent, studious, smart and adaptable, and is more than ten times better than the other one.

"Father, don't worry, my son will remember it."

The carriage slowly left the Tang Mansion, and the two siblings, Tang Jiao and Tang Jiao, leaned by the window and waved to their father.

Half an hour later, they stopped outside Lu's house, and Lu Changze happened to come out supporting the eldest princess.

Luo Shi took his children out of the carriage and saluted her body: "Bless the eldest princess."

Seeing Tang Jiao, the eldest princess was very happy. She smiled kindly and said, "No need to be polite. Sister Jiao will sit in the same car with me and chat with my old lady."

Luo Shi smiled quickly and said, "This is Jiao'er's honor."

The marriage is still ongoing. If her daughter really wants to marry into the Zhenguo Duke's mansion in the future, she will be able to stand firmly if the eldest princess cares for her. Of course she is happy for her daughter to get close to the eldest princess.

Tang Jiao and Lu Changze helped the eldest princess into the carriage together. They glanced at the cold and tough Lu Changze, and happened to meet his eyes. They hurriedly lowered their eyes and stepped into the carriage.

Lu Changze's eyes flashed with a smile, and he got on his horse to protect the carriage.

The carriage in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is certainly not comparable to that of the Tang family. It looks simple and unpretentious from the outside, but it is luxurious and comfortable inside. It is spacious and bright, and there is even a couch for resting.

The eldest princess pulled Tang Jiao to sit on the couch and said with a smile: "I heard that you made clothes for Brother Ze, have you finished them?"

Tang Jiao smiled sweetly and docilely: "There are still clothes to finish, it will be done soon."

"Your child is just what he wants." The eldest princess couldn't help but sigh when she thought of all the worries she had put in for her grandson over the years: "It's just like this child has a biological mother. I started thinking about finding a mother for him when he was fifteen. There is a lovely person who knows her heart and soul, but he is like a stubborn cow and hates women."

Tang Jiao knew that Lu Changze had a heart problem and said softly: "Elder Princess, I heard from Lu Changze that he was thrown into the mountains by his own sister and almost died. When he came back, his mother didn't even speak for him. Why?"

In a big family, heirs should be the most important, so why is the Duke's wife so unusual?

"Oh, this is all my fault." The eldest princess thought of something and her eyes were full of regret. She held Tang Jiao's hand tightly and her voice was choked: "Back then, my son was disobedient and loved to march. During the war, I wanted to find him a gentle and virtuous wife. At that time, Ze'er's mother was well-known in the capital, and she was also famous for her ingenuity. She also came from a prince's palace in the Kingdom of Wei, so I planned to marry my son. This This matter was known to the then Marquis of Wei State, and she agreed ten thousand times, and the engagement was quickly finalized. Who would have thought that Zeer's mother had a sweetheart in her boudoir for a long time, and the two were privately engaged for life, and was married to Zeer's grandfather. They were separated forcibly, and the man was killed in the end. We didn't know this at all. We only found out about it later when Ze'er came back from the accident and the couple had a quarrel. She resented the Zhenguo government for separating her and her sweetheart, leaving all the people behind. All the resentment is directed at Brother Ze. I am pitiful because Brother Ze is obviously the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo. Since his father has not been around since childhood, my mother has treated him as if he does not exist. If it weren’t for me, I don’t know how much suffering my Brother Ze would have suffered. .”

Hearing this, Tang Jiao felt very sorry for Lu Changze.

If you were a stepmother, you wouldn't be in pain if you didn't care for yourself, but you were ignored and disliked by your own mother, and you let a half-year-old child bear all the resentment.

In this matter, he is obviously the most innocent.

The eldest princess wiped her tears and said softly: "I was really angry and beat her up. I asked her why she didn't break off the engagement when she had a sweetheart. But she said it was the Marquis of Wei who used power to suppress others in the Zhenguo Palace. The power was much smaller. I don’t dare to resist this marriage at all.”

Tang Jiao took out her silk handkerchief to wipe her tears, and sneered: "It's obvious that they covet your status and power and force your daughter to get married, so what does it have to do with you."

The eldest princess shook her head, sniffed and said: "I was a bit strong when I was young, but I was never an unreasonable person. Marriage is about your own will, and the same is true for marriages between nobles. But no matter what happens, it won't matter. It’s time to take it out on a child.”

The eldest princess looked at Tang Jiao and said in a solemn tone: "Fortunately, I met you. Since meeting you, brother Ze's anger has been reduced a lot, and his temper has become gentle. He said that you should give him an antidote. Within half a month after taking the pill, he no longer had any murderous thoughts, and he no longer had nightmares even when sleeping at night."

"Exactly." Tang Jiao thought of Lu Changze, and her tone softened unconsciously: "After getting along with him a few times, I once found him killing animals and felt something was wrong. He couldn't control the bloodlust in his body. Compared with psychological problems, I felt that something was wrong. He is prone to poisoning. The poison has been lurking in his body for many years, making him increasingly unable to control himself. He is like a monster and becomes irritable and restless when he does not see blood."

The eldest princess held her face and said with a smile full of kindness: "This child is lucky enough to meet you in his three lives. If he treats you badly when we get married in the future, I will be the first one not to spare him."

"Don't worry, eldest princess, he won't treat me well. I'll take you and the child to separate from him, and let him go there by himself. He's so fierce, let's see which woman is willing to warm his bed."

Hearing her words, the eldest princess laughed loudly, and her depression and sadness disappeared instantly: "Yes, I will make the decision for you when the time comes."

He said this very loudly, for fear that Lu Changze outside could not hear him.

Lu Changze naturally heard it, and he couldn't hide his pride on his cold face. Thinking of her shy appearance, he pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, planning to wait until they got married before repairing her.

Even before they got married, she was thinking about breaking up with him. When the time came, she wouldn't even be able to get out of bed. Look at how crazy she was.

The carriage went straight to the official road. Almost an hour later, we finally saw the carriage of Duke Xinguo at the intersection of the two states.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries again, and seeing that it was getting late, they decided to have lunch before leaving.
