The court doctor was brought to Yurongxuan again. After checking the patient's pulse, Doctor Mou shook his head. Seeing this, Lu Tingxu frowned and said, "Doctor Mou, how is it?"

Doctor Mou pondered for a while, then spoke carefully: "I said it last time, this concubine can't stand being bullied anymore. Alas..."

"Fortunately, you knocked her out in time, otherwise, even Hua Tuo would not be able to save the child if the situation continued! I will prescribe a new prescription and add some tranquilizing herbs that pregnant women can use. You really have to take good care of her!"

As he said this, he sighed and went out with the medicine box.

Lu Tingxu sat quietly beside the bed, looking at Yanliu's sallow and thin face, and her slightly heaving belly, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Seeing that there was nothing left for her to do here, Lin Wan prepared to go back first.

Just as he stood up and before he could say anything, Lu Tingxu spoke first.

"Wan'er, please take better care of Yanliu and the child. The last time my parents wrote to me, they were looking forward to this child. We must keep him."

Lin Wan suddenly wanted to roll her eyes at him. You know you have to protect the child, but does Yan Liu want her to take care of her? You brought her back, and you pamper her when you are happy, and throw her aside when you are unhappy. Who wouldn't make a fuss about this?

"Yes."

Perhaps because Lin Wan's tone was too cold, Lu Tingxu turned his head and glanced at her. Noticing the silence in her eyes, he thought for a moment and asked again, "What was the last time Doctor Mou mentioned?"

"It was the time when you, the prince, entertained your colleagues. When I got the news and rushed over, Aunt Yan was in a very bad condition. She even wanted to die."

When Lu Tingxu heard this, he recalled his reaction at that time. He was so angry that he didn't even remember that she was pregnant. He just vented his anger on her. He even got physical and pushed her down. In the end, he took his people and left directly without even thinking of calling the doctor for her.

Yan Liu was right, Lu Tingxu was a liar.

When they were together, Yan Liu said that she wanted him to love her forever and that there couldn't be anyone else around her. He also vowed to be together forever.

But later, he began to break his oath again and again, and became Chunfeng's concubine. He even went to Chunfeng's yard to spend the night to annoy her just to be angry with her.

It not only hurt the willows, but also the spring breeze.

Later, she wanted to open a store, and I clearly agreed to support her, but later something went wrong and I blamed all the responsibility on her.

When did he start to feel disgust and blame towards Yan Liu? He clearly liked her at first because of her passion, uniqueness and boldness. Why did he feel that all these were wrong now?

For him and the child, Yan Liu became a concubine in the Marquis's Mansion and was locked up in this inner house. Apart from him, she had no one to rely on.

But I made her worry and afraid, lost my temper with her and hurt her feelings.

Even when she was anxious and suspicious, she just felt annoyed and didn't even get an explanation.

He was wrong!

He broke his original oath.

Lu Tingxu stared blankly at Yan Liu lying on the bed. The woman who was once as bright and dazzling as the sun had now been hurt by him to the point where she didn't want to live anymore.

"Wan'er..." Lu Tingxu called in a low voice.

"Since the master has entrusted his daughter to us, please teach her some skills. If, if it is convenient, see if you can find a suitable marriage for her."

Lin Wan raised her eyebrows when she heard that and looked at Lu Tingxu strangely.

She originally thought that Dong Yue's intentions were obvious to everyone. And Lu Tingxu had always treated her differently, so she thought he was going to keep her in the mansion.

did not expect……

"Should we ask Master Dong what he thinks first?"

"No, it was Master who told me this. I was just afraid that you would be unhappy, so I didn't dare to tell you."

When Lin Wan heard this, she opened her mouth in disbelief.

"Your Majesty... you..."

"Although I'm not a good person, I don't have to keep a woman in the house just because I see her." Lu Tingxu looked at her and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I didn't think enough when I invited him in last time without asking for your opinion. I just didn't expect..."

I didn't expect that he didn't say something, but Lin Wan understood it after a little thought.

He didn't expect Dong Yue to be so similar to Ye Shiyue, and he didn't expect Dong Yue's enthusiasm and familiarity towards him to make him lose his mind.

But after calming down, Lu Tingxu couldn't help but wonder, when Ye Shiyue met Meng Yucheng, was it just like Dong Yue meeting him now?

Because of their status and the wealthy life in the marquis's mansion, they didn't care whether she became a concubine or not and they all approached her actively.

Thinking of this, he felt something was wrong.

When the master said in front of him awkwardly how worried he was about his daughter's marriage and asked him to help find a suitable husband, Lu Tingxu agreed.

Seeing his serious expression, Lin Wan smiled and replied, "It just so happens that there will be a flower viewing event in a few days. It is a good opportunity for ladies to bring their children of appropriate age to see each other. I will take Sister Dong to see it then."

"Well, thank you for your help."

After saying this, the room fell silent again. Lu Tingxu lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking about. Lin Wan was too lazy to find something to say to him, especially since Yan Liu was unconscious on the bed and didn't know what was going on.

"If you have nothing else to do, I will go back first."

Lin Wan stood up and said goodbye.

"Well, go ahead." Lu Tingxu nodded, and thought for a moment, "What happened today has offended Miss Dong. You can send some apology. I won't go, so as to avoid causing misunderstandings."

Lin Wan was even more surprised when she heard this.

Before leaving the room, she couldn't help but look back. Lu Tingxu was still the same Lu Tingxu, but why did he give her the feeling that he was a different person when he spoke just now?

As soon as she returned to the courtyard, Qing Ping ran over and whispered, "Madam, the maid from Miss Dong's place came to tell her that Miss Dong has been crying since she returned, and she doesn't talk or eat."

After hearing this, Lin Wan held her forehead helplessly and said, "Alas... what a bunch of things!"

"Go get the set of flower hairpins and head ornaments that have just been delivered from the storeroom, and prepare two pieces of silk with brighter colors. Let's go over and take a look."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Qinglian responded and went out.

Qingping stayed in the house to accompany her. Seeing Lin Wan looking so tired, she felt very distressed.

"Take a break first and have a cup of ginseng tea. You must be exhausted after a long day."

As he brought a bowl of tea, Lin Wan took two sips and took a deep breath.

"It's okay, just finish the work. Isn't that what being a mistress of a house means? Since you are in the mansion, you look majestic on weekdays, you have power in front of the servants, and you are respectable when you go out. Then you have to do what a mistress should do and take on the responsibilities that should be taken."

"You can't just think about enjoying yourself and not endure hardships. That's not being a mistress, that's being a bodhisattva."

Lin Wan said with a smile. Qing Ping stood behind her and squeezed her shoulders, saying with a smile, "I am just worried about you. There are already a lot of things going on in the mansion, and the prince brought an outsider with him, causing so many problems, and you have to deal with them all."

"Don't say that next time." Lin Wan looked back at her seriously, and Qingping was so scared that her face turned pale.

Then he continued with some reluctance: "I know you feel sorry for me, but if other people hear this, there will be another lawsuit."

"You are someone close to me, so you should be more careful about what you say and do. Master Dong is the master of the prince, and Miss Dong is a guest when she comes to our house. How can you criticize a guest? If they hear it, I won't be able to protect you!"

"Yes, I will remember this and will not dare to do it again in the future."
