After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

The stars are twinkling, and the night wind is slightly chilly.

Lu Jingting stood at the door of Feiyu Pavilion, with a thin layer of snow on his shoulders. It was obvious that he had been standing there for a while.

After hearing the maid's report, Xiao Yunxi said nothing, stood up, put on her cloak, and walked out.

"Your Highness, you came to Feiyu Pavilion at this time. Do you have any instructions?"

Hearing this, Lu Jingting smiled bitterly. He really didn't have the face to say anything else. Just like his grandmother said, Xiao Yunxi had been wronged from the beginning to the end.

It was my grandfather who, in order to protect his family, had shamelessly asked the Emperor for a marriage, relying on the fact that he had blocked a knife for Grand Tutor Xiao in his early years, in order to repay the favor.

It was he who, for the sake of so-called love, neglected Xiao Yunxi for two whole years, making her a laughing stock in Dali.

It was he who made the promise and indulged Lin Wan'er's ambition, causing Xiao Yunxi to be humiliated by Lu Ze in front of a group of servants today.

Looking at Xiao Yunxi's indifferent eyes, his heart was filled with guilt and regret, and he could not hide his heartache in his words, "I just wanted to come and see you."

Xiao Yunxi was slightly surprised at first, then she smiled softly, "Your Highness, are you afraid that I can't bear this humiliation and will commit suicide?"

"No..." Lu Jingting was afraid that she had misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "I'm just worried about you. What happened today is ultimately my fault."

Xiao Yunxi nodded slightly, a sneer appeared at the corner of her lips, "If you want to be upset, I would have killed myself two years ago. Why would I have to wait until today?"

"Besides, those nonsense words are definitely not something a child could think of. Someone must have taught him that. But it's no wonder. There are so many people who want to become a phoenix by relying on their sons to rise to prominence."

"It's just that Shan Ji is short-sighted and doesn't know that a mother's honor depends on her son and a son's honor depends on his mother complement each other."

Xiao Yunxi's voice was soft and delicate, yet it carried an unignorable sharpness, and Lu Jingting felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

"Prince, legally speaking, Lu Ze is my son, but emotionally, I don't like him."

"He is lazy, sneaky, disrespectful to his mother and elder brother, and now he is gambling and losing his ambition!"

"Such a child will not only bring disgrace to the family, but will also bring disaster to the family."

"That's all I have to say. Please go back, Your Highness." Xiao Yunxi no longer paid attention to Lu Jingting who was hesitant to speak, and ordered the maid to close and lock the gate.

Looking at the closed door, Lu Jingting gritted his teeth, tried his best to suppress the bitterness and pain in his heart, and left with heavy steps.

When he walked into Shou'an Hall, he saw the old lady sitting in the main seat without saying a word, and Lin Wan'er kneeling on the ground sobbing softly, with several deep slap marks on her face.

"grandmother..."

"Prince..." Lin Wan'er raised her head quickly when she heard Lu Jingting's voice, looking so weak that she couldn't bear the humiliation...

The old lady slammed the table fiercely and shouted angrily: "You still have the nerve to cry?!"

"You are such a traitor. Lu Ze and Lu Yuan will never achieve anything in their lives if they have a mother like you!"

"If you want to do it for the good of your child, just end your life."

When Lin Wan'er heard this, she was so scared that she quickly knelt down and crawled at Lu Jingting's feet, "Prince, you said that you would marry Wan'er as your wife, and make Ze'er the prince and Yuan'er the princess. You swore to that!"

Lu Jingting bent down, raised his hand and pinched Lin Wan'er's chin, and said softly: "Didn't you also say that even if you were a lowly servant in the palace, you would always be by my side?"

"Didn't you say that you would endure any grievance for me and the children?"

Seeing Lin Wan'er shrinking, he smiled coldly and continued, "Think carefully about what you want. Do you want to be with me forever, or do you want to give the children a good future?"

"If you choose to stay with me forever, I will give up my identity as the Crown Prince of Zhennan, take you and the children away from the capital, hide our identities, and become a pair of common people."

"If you choose to give the children a good future, then you should recognize your own status and abide by the law. Although I cannot make you my legal wife, I will never treat you unfairly. Sooner or later, I will give you a legitimate status."

After saying that, he gently tidied Lin Wan'er's messy hair and waited patiently for her choice.

Lin Wan'er's face was pale, and her voice was trembling. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from her throat with difficulty. "I hope the children can have a good future."

Lu Jingting narrowed his eyes and stared at her intently, without a trace of blood on his handsome face.

He suddenly smiled, and that smile was frightening. "If that's the case, don't do anything insignificant anymore, otherwise..."

Lin Wan'er lowered her head, bit her lips tightly, and dared not cry out loud.

She knew that the prince had already had the intention to kill...

The old lady looked at the situation and sneered, "A dog will never change its eating habits! If you want to take her in as a concubine, return Lu Ze and Lu Yuan to her!"

Lin Wan'er's face turned pale.

"Madam, I didn't know the rules before. Not only did I make a fool of myself a few times, but I also said some bad things to Ze'er. But Ze'er is still a child after all. He will definitely become more sensible as he learns from Mr. Hu."

"It is not good for the reputation of the palace to change the name of the adopted child to a concubine for no reason. Please think twice."

"I will be careful with my words and actions in the future and never make mistakes again!"

Lin Wan'er knelt on the ground and spoke with deep emotion.

Of course the old lady didn't believe these words, but Lu Jingting had finally changed his mind and wanted to live a good life with Xiao Yunxi, so she couldn't execute Lin Wan'er now.

Although I don't care about Lu Ze and Lu Yuan, they are still the blood of the Lu family, so I will wait for some time.

Lin Wan'er is ignorant, stupid and ambitious, and sooner or later she will be completely rejected by Lu Jingting.

It won’t be too late to deal with her then.

As for Lu Ze, if he is sensible and reasonable, it will be enough for him to share some of the family property in the future. Lu Yuan is even simpler, just give her a similar dowry and marry her far away.

If these brothers and sisters show no progress at all, then we will find a reason to expel them from the family tree, send them to a farm, and leave them to fend for themselves.

Thinking of this, the old lady smiled with the corners of her lips curled: "It would be best if you could understand your own identity."

"Even if Yunxi doesn't have any children now, Jingting is still young, it's impossible for him to have only one son and one daughter."

"After some time, I will select a few girls with clean backgrounds to be concubines for Jing Ting."

"Every blade of grass, every bit of gold and every bit of silver in this mansion cannot belong to Lu Ze alone."

Lu Jingting frowned as he listened to the old lady's words. He didn't want to take a concubine, but he didn't object.

He thought to himself, if Xiao Yunxi knew that he was going to take a concubine, would she be offended?

Lin Wan'er looked up at Lu Jingting, and seeing that he did not reject the old lady's proposal, she felt even more desperate. It is true that no man can remain loyal forever.

She bit her lip tightly and lowered her head to hide the resentment in her eyes.
