Lu Tingxu left Xuanli Pavilion in a good mood. Ming Mo saw that he was in a good mood and asked curiously, "My Lord, you were so happy chatting with the young lady, why didn't you just stay at the young lady's place?"

Ming Mo's idea was simple. When Lu Tingxu and Lin Wan were together, they were happy, and they, the servants, were relaxed. But every time Lu Tingxu and Yan Liu were together, they would quarrel if they said something wrong. When the prince was angry, they, the servants, would suffer.

Lu Tingxu has been in a bad mood these days, and he and Ming Yan have been very careful. After finally chatting with the young lady today, he felt better, so he wanted to persuade him to spend more time with the young lady.

However, Lu Tingxu was stunned when he heard this.

He shook his head. He had never thought about anything happening between him and Lin Wan.

In his heart, Lin Wan is different from Ye Shiyue, Yan Liu and others. He has no romantic feelings for her, but more of a respect and trust.

The two of them got along very well just now, and he was willing to come here more often to eat and chat with her, but if Lin Wan really stayed overnight, he would feel a little uncomfortable when thinking about that scene.

He shook his head again and put the idea out of his mind. He could actually feel that Lin Wan didn't want to do anything with him, so it was better this way, and it was easier for the two of them to get along.

This feeling of relaxation did not last long before he met Yan Liu who was waiting for him.

"Lu Tingxu!" Yan Liu cheered as soon as she saw him and walked towards him quickly.

Lu Tingxu remembered that she was pregnant, and hurried over to her, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for you!" Yan Liu leaned in his arms, "I've been waiting for you for many days, but I haven't seen you. I miss you so much! The child misses daddy too!"

She deliberately softened her tone, and tenderly took Lu Tingxu's hand and placed it on her belly.

Lu Tingxu felt the softness under his hand, and his heart softened. "I'm busy these days, you should have a good rest in the mansion. I will visit you when I'm free."

"But you've been busy for so many days, and you even went to Xuanli Pavilion tonight. I've been waiting for you here, and I thought you didn't want me anymore!"

As she spoke, Yan Liu leaned on his shoulder with a look of grievance on her face.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm just here to talk about something. You have a child, how can you stand outside for so long?"

When Yan Liu heard his tone soften and he began to care about her and the child, she knew that he had calmed down. She continued, "Ting Xu, you are the only one I have with the child. I took the initiative to become your concubine for you. You don't know how wronged I feel, but for you, I am willing to do it."

After saying that, she raised her watery eyes and said, "I was in a bad mood that day, so I said the wrong thing. I just felt sorry for you having to patrol and do such a hard job, and I didn't mean anything else. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Lu Tingxu looked at her pitiful appearance, which was completely devoid of her former willfulness and domineering nature, and he felt so much pity for her.

"Okay, I'm not angry, go back and have a rest."

"I can't sleep without you by my side."

"Okay, I'll stay with you!" After saying that, he picked her up and went towards Yurongxuan.

Lin Wan found out the next morning that Lu Tingxu was taken away by Yan Liu on the way back from her place. She just heard it, Qinglian was still worried that the prince said last night that he would come to have dinner with the young lady today, and now he didn't know if he would come.

Lin Wan remembered what had been discussed yesterday about the apprenticeship gift, so she took her maid out with her after finishing her household affairs in the morning.

Yan Liu has been avoiding Lin Wan ever since she offered tea to her. Last night, Lu Tingxu had dinner at Lin Wan's place, but ended up staying in her yard. This morning, he couldn't help but want to show off.

It turned out to be in vain.

The somewhat depressed Yan Liu was wandering around the garden bored, and happened to meet the spring breeze which was also in the garden.

"Hey, isn't this Aunt Chun?"

Last time, Yanliu was ridiculed by Chunfeng because of Chunyi’s incident. Now Yanliu feels that she has won a lot and wants to make up for the insult she suffered last time.

Chunfeng saw her, listened to her provocative words, suppressed his anger, and stepped aside to make way.

But Yan Liu just stood in front of her without moving, "Are you going to look for the young mistress again? Oh, she's not in the house today, why didn't she tell you? It seems like you don't mean much to her."

"The young madam has a lot of things to do. We, as concubines, are the only ones who pay our respects to the mistress. How can the mistress tell us what she does?" Chunfeng held back her anger and replied word by word.

Lin Wan didn't care about so many rules and didn't ask her aunt to come and pay respects every day. But Chunfeng came every day to please her, even if it was just to say a few words to make her presence felt.

"Since the young lady is not here, I will go back. Aunt Yan, please take your time shopping." Chunfeng said and turned to leave, but Yanliu grabbed her arm.

"You like being her licker so much, I wonder what benefits she has given you? Are there any good things like those given to me by the prince? Tell me about it."

Chun Feng immediately glared at her, "What do you mean by licking a dog? Why are you scolding me?"

"Oh, you even heard it was an insult, aren't you? They didn't even ask you to go, but you still run away every day, aren't you just a lickspittle? I just don't know if you got anything out of your licking?"

"Does it matter to you whether there are benefits or not? Aren't you the one who rushes to lick the prince every day? You stand at the gate of the yard waiting every day, as if everyone knows it. The prince finds you annoying!"

"You bullshit!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You came out of a brothel and yet you seduce people. You also mess around outside every day, making a fool of yourself in public and embarrassing the prince as well. If you didn't have that piece of meat in your belly, do you think the prince would still be willing to look at you?" Chunfeng's anger and jealousy that had been suppressed for many days were aroused by her, and he pointed at her and started cursing.

Yan Liu didn't expect her to explode so suddenly, and her face turned blue with anger.

"Oh, the prince finally started to be motivated and do serious work, but you still made trouble with him in the mansion and dared to say that the prince was useless. Everyone in the mansion heard it. You just wait for the marquis and his wife to come back and find out how to deal with you! Let's see if your belly can protect you!"

Seeing that she was getting more and more excited the more she scolded, Yan Liu was so angry that she was shaking all over. Seeing that she could not win the argument with her, she rolled her eyes, bent over, covered her stomach and shouted: "Ouch, my stomach hurts!"

Chunfeng was startled by her shouting, and took several steps back with a pale face, "What are you doing?"

"Someone come quickly, go find the prince and come back. My stomach hurts so much, the child must be mad at her."

Lu Tingxu, who was on duty, was called back urgently by the servants. He rushed straight into Yurongxuan and saw Yan Liu lying on the bed, holding her stomach and crying in pain, and the court doctor was taking her pulse.

"Wan'er!"

"Tingxu, our child!"

"What's going on? How's the child?" Lu Tingxu asked the people in the room.

The court doctor just took his hand back and replied, "My aunt must have had a miscarriage."

Although nothing could be seen from the pulse, seeing how anxious Lu Tingxu looked, the court physician roughly told him about the problem. After all, it is common for pregnant women to have emotional fluctuations that will affect the fetus.

When Lu Tingxu heard this, his face immediately turned dark, "What's going on?"

Yan Liu immediately pointed at Chun Feng standing beside her and said, "It was her. She made me angry and pushed me. She wanted to kill me!"

Seeing that she had actually slandered him, Chunfeng hurriedly defended himself, "Sir, I didn't, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Tingxu slapped him in the face.

"Shut up, you still dare to quibble, if anything happens to the child I won't let you go!"

After saying that, seeing Chunfeng looking at him in disbelief, he continued, "Get out! You are not allowed to come into this yard from now on! Go back to your own yard and be confined to your own yard for a month!"

When Chunfeng heard this, he covered his face and ran out crying.

Yan Liu leaned in Lu Tingxu's arms and smiled proudly.
