Old Madam Dong looked at Lu Jingting with dissatisfaction, feeling sorry for her widowed distant cousin who had to pass the child under her name as her legitimate son or daughter.
It would be strange if there was no trick here!
Lu Jingting felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, fearing that his elder sister would say more, so he said directly: "Eldest sister, Lin's cousin is not in good health and is now recuperating in the side courtyard. Don't worry about her."
Lu Guifang suppressed her annoyance, knowing that now was not the time to talk too much.
Madam Dong glanced at Lu Jingting, then turned to Madam Lu and said, "A widow is prone to gossip. You should be careful about your reputation. If there are rumors of a romantic affair, it won't be a good thing!"
Madam Lu could only respond awkwardly.
Lu Jingting left early, using the excuse of handling official business.
After leaving the yard, he headed straight to the northwest corner.
His face was gloomy and scary.
"Are Master Ze and Miss Yuan in there?"
The gatekeeper knelt down tremblingly and replied, "My Lord, the young master and the young lady are...inside."
Lu Jingting kicked the old woman down and said, "Didn't I order that no one is allowed to enter or leave?"
The old woman covered her chest, quickly knelt down again, and nervously replied: "The young master and the young lady are threatening to die, and we old slaves dare not stop them."
"Then since you don't have a mouth or legs, won't you go find Madam Li?"
"The young master and young lady are crying so pitifully, I just sent someone to look for Madam Li."
Lu Jingting kicked the old woman away again, "Get lost!"
He turned around and told Lu Quan, "Call some maids to bring Lu Ze and Lu Yuan out to me. If they cry or make a fuss, knock them out!"
"Yes!"
After a while, two old women came out, each holding one child, following Lu An.
Lu Jingting ordered in a cold voice, "Send them back to the yard and send someone to keep an eye on them. Don't let them come over again."
After saying that, Lu Jingting walked into the yard with a gloomy face, and saw Lin Wan'er lying on the ground with tears on her face.
"Sir, they just miss me, why are you so unkind?"
Lin Wan'er looked at Lu Jingting with resentment.
"They come to see their mother, what's wrong with that?"
"What's wrong?" Lu Jingting grabbed Lin Wan'er's neck and lifted her up. "Their mother is Xiao Yunxi, not you!"
"Xiao Yunxi's father is Duke Ningguo, and her grandfather is Grand Tutor Xiao. If you don't let Lu Ze and Lu Yuan get close to Xiao Yunxi, what good will it do them?"
"Even if Lu Ze is talented and Lu Yuan is beautiful, without a backer, do you think you will have a good future?!"
"What good will it do you if their identities as illegitimate children are confirmed?!"
"I said I would let you enter the mansion as a concubine, and I will do it naturally."
"If you want to keep your child safe, be quiet!"
"otherwise..."
Lu Jingting let go of her hand, and Lin Wan'er fell heavily to the ground, gasping for breath.
She smiled bitterly, "I understand. I will listen to you, Your Highness. I will wait patiently. I only ask that you will have pity on me and my son."
"The princess only loves Master Zhan and doesn't care about Brother Ze and Sister Yuan, so I am worried."
Xiao Yunxi does favor Lu Zhan, but that is also because Lu Zhan is filial, considerate and willing to make progress.
Lu Jingting believed that as long as Lu Ze and Lu Yuan were respectful and filial to Xiao Yunxi enough, Xiao Yunxi would definitely do her best for them even if her talent was average.
For some reason, he trusted Xiao Yunxi so much.
"You are their cousin now, you don't need to worry so much."
"Everyone likes filial and caring children, and Yunxi is no exception. As long as Ze'er and Yuan'er are respectful to their stepmother in the future, Yunxi will naturally not treat them unfairly."
After saying that, Lu Jingting glanced coldly at the silent Lin Wan'er, then turned and left.
Lin Wan'er got up by herself, her eyes full of resentment.
Yun Xi, Yun Xi, the prince called her so affectionately.
Do you trust Xiao Yunxi so much?
It was obvious that Xiao Yunxi treated Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er harshly.
If Lu Zhan can go to study at the Ningguo Mansion, why can’t her brother Ze!
Xiao Yunxi, you deserve to die!
Lu Jingting went to scold Lu Ze and Lu Yuan a few more times, and took them to Shou'an Hall to pay their respects to the old lady of the Dong family.
But I heard that Madam Dong was tired and went back to rest, and Xiao Yunxi also went to take care of the chores.
When the old lady saw Lu Jingting bringing Lu Ze and Lu Yuan in, she looked impatient and said, "Everyone has left, why are you still here to greet us?!"
Lu Ze and Lu Yuan stood behind Lu Jingting, not daring to step forward to answer.
Seeing how timid they were, the old lady was even more furious, "Sneaky and petty!"
Lu Guifang came in with some snacks and kindly pulled the two children over, "This must be Brother Ze and Sister Yuan, come and call us Auntie."
"With such a well-behaved child, how could Xiao Yunxi be willing to favor that outsider?"
The old lady looked at her coldly, "If you were Xiao Yunxi, which child would you like?"
Lu Guifang choked and smiled awkwardly, "How can this be the same?"
"Why is it different?" The old lady's face became even uglier. "Any legitimate mother would choose to favor Lu Zhan. Xiao Yunxi is already very generous. At least she didn't deliberately ruin Lu Ze and Lu Yuan, let alone try to get rid of them!"
"grandmother!"
These words were not suitable for children to hear, so Lu Jingting quickly signaled to Nanny Li to take Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er out.
"Don't you want to have a good future for Weixian? You keep tripping Xiao Yunxi up. Do you think she's a living Buddha and won't bother with you?!"
Lu Guifang disagreed, "She loves Jingting so much that she can tolerate two children, so she can naturally tolerate me as the eldest sister."
Lu Jingting was stunned. How did his elder sister know that Xiao Yunxi loved her so deeply?
"Jingting, you can pamper Xiao Yunxi, but you also have to give her a knock from time to time."
"If you ask me, just tell her straight away. She is your legal wife. As long as the child is yours, she should raise him well. Otherwise, she is not a good woman."
"It's a simple matter, but you guys have to make it so complicated!"
The old lady interrupted Lu Guifang irritably, "Stop interfering in family affairs. The most important thing is to serve your mother-in-law and husband well."
Lu Guifang's face changed. The old lady seemed to think that she was talking too much.
Lu Jingting twitched his lips, "Eldest sister, things are not as simple as you think."
"What's so difficult about it?" Lu Guifang curled her lips. "Your cousin from the Lin family can live well in the mansion, which shows how deeply Xiao Yunxi loves you."
"As long as Xiao Yunxi's heart is with you, the entire Ningguo Mansion will obey you. Otherwise, you can find an excuse to punish her according to family rules, or take in more concubines!"
Lu Jingting twitched his lips and punished Xiao Yunxi according to the family rules. He was lucky enough not to be kicked to death by her.
He looked at his elder sister helplessly. No wonder the old lady of the Dong family was so strict with her.
The old lady was so angry that she closed her eyes. What sin did she commit in her previous life, having a stupid daughter-in-law, a foolish granddaughter and a stubborn grandson?
