Chapter 190 I Must Take It
The two were arguing here when a little girl's voice came from the inner room: "Lu Ji, who are you talking to?"

As he spoke, the inner door was opened from the inside, and a little girl with long hair and sleepy eyes appeared at the door.

Lu Ji and Wang Fengyi stopped talking immediately. Wang Fengyi put on a smile and said politely, "I heard that Miss Qin was unwell, so I came to see you."

Before Qin Xiaoning could speak, Lu Ji said in a deep voice: "Didn't the doctor tell you to sweat while you sleep? Why are you getting up?"

As he said this, he took a few steps to the little girl and carried her back to the bed in front of Wang Fengyi. The little girl looked at the man with her eyes wide open and said hesitantly, "I didn't know my cousin was here. I didn't mean to disturb you."

Seeing Lu Ji's gloomy face, she asked tentatively: "Did you have a fight?"

Lu Ji replied: "It's none of your business. Have a good sleep and sweat it out."

After saying this, he carefully tucked the quilt for her and left the room again.

"Do you still want to go back to the mountaintop villa? I'll ask them to take you back."

Lu Ji had completely lost his patience with the stubborn woman in front of him. He didn't want to have any more meaningless arguments with her and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

Out of sight out of mind.

At this moment, Wang Fengyi has suppressed her anger. In a relationship, the one who loves the other more will always be more tolerant.

"I want to go back to accompany my aunt, but my cousin doesn't need to send anyone to see me off. The carriage I took when I came here is right outside."

Wang Fengyi regained her dignified appearance and bowed slightly to Lu Ji: "Then I'll go first."

Lu Ji didn't say a word, nor did he even look at the other person. After the person left the house, he went back to the inner room.

After Wang Fengyi came out with her maid, she did not rush back, but sat down casually on a rock in the courtyard.

Glancing at her master's distraught look, the maid beside her began to persuade her: "Miss, please don't blame me for speaking harshly. This Lu family's young master is too unruly. He dotes on that concubine so much. If you marry into the family in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win his heart."

Wang Fengyi frowned upon hearing this: "You are right, Lu Ji is indeed not someone who is easy to surrender."

She fell silent, and when she spoke again, her tone was filled with sadness and helplessness: "I also know that he doesn't have me in his heart, but I can't keep my heart anymore. This man is probably my nemesis. I know I can't get him, but I can't stop wanting him."

She raised her eyes and looked at the vast sky, muttering, "Hua Shan, do you know how I felt when I saw with my own eyes how tenderly he doted on that little girl? It was like being fried in a frying pan. If he could share half of his love for that little girl with me, I would be satisfied."

Upon hearing this, the little maidservant tried not to feel sorry for her master and quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeves.

"Painted Fan." Wang Fengyi called out the name of her personal maid and asked softly, "Do you think I have become very lowly now?"

The little maidservant had followed the Third Miss Wang since she was young. How could she not know that her mistress had always been a most noble person? The Wang family had trained her according to the standards of a queen in the palace since she was young.

She was raised so high that she was very arrogant and never took any man in the world seriously.

But ever since he met the eldest son of the Lu family, the master's mind has gradually changed, and he has repeatedly made extraordinary moves.

Facing her master's helpless questioning, the little maid sighed leisurely: "Young lady is of noble birth, so naturally she has nothing to do with lowly status. I can only blame the word 'love' for misleading people."

"You're right." Wang Fengyi smiled bitterly: "I really love and hate this man, but I'm already deeply in love with him and it's hard to extricate myself."

After she laughed at herself for a while, she regained her composure and said, "It's okay. I've figured it out. Since I won't have the chance to be the mother of the country, I must get the best man in the world."

"Since you have set your eyes on Lu Ji, I will find a way to take him away." The little maidservant beside him echoed, "Miss, this is more like your character."

After Wang Fengyi left, Qin Xiaoning returned to bed and fell asleep again.

As expected of the imperial physician in the palace, his medical skills were superb. The little girl was sweating in her sleep, and she was completely healed when she woke up.

She did not call the maid outside to come in and serve her. She put on her clothes and tidied herself, then hurried out of the house to see the scenery.

This house is Lu Ji's private property. As it is right next to East Lake, a high platform is specially set up in the house for viewing the scenery. Standing on the platform and looking into the distance, you can see the entire East Lake. The scenery is pleasant wherever you look.

The little girl was leaning on the railing and looking into the distance when Lu Ji came to her side.

"Do you like it?" he asked.

The little girl turned her head to look at him, her eyes sparkling. Because she felt better, her face regained its radiance, and her fair face was faintly blushed, like a February cardamom, with a delicate and sweet fragrance that made people feel like bathing in the spring breeze. One could not help but be attracted to her.

"I like it." The girl raised her hand and held the man, leaning against the railing with him: "Lu Ji, look, standing on this platform, the East Lake is so beautiful. There are no disputes or worries here, only beautiful scenery in front of you. Who can not like it?"

The little girl praised him, then turned to look at the man: "Why don't you put me here? If you miss me, come and see me."

When Lu Ji heard this, his originally relaxed and handsome face immediately turned cold: "Qin Xiaoning, are you stupid?"

The beautiful scenery was refreshing, but the man scolded her for no reason.

The little girl also looked unhappy: "Why do you turn against me so easily?"

Having said that, she turned around and continued to look at the scenery, ignoring the man.

Lu Ji raised his hand and pulled the person over, asking her, "Were you joking with me just now?"

The little girl was confused and asked back: "Isn't this good? I like it here and I am willing to stay here."

Lu Ji frowned: "Only concubines live outside."

The little girl snorted: "It's the same whether you are a mistress or not. I think it's less troublesome to live outside."

"What are you talking about?" The man saw that the little girl was serious, and argued with her with a cold face: "How can this be the same? A concubine cannot be included in the family tree. She is not considered a member of the family. Even if she gives birth to a child, it cannot be included in the family tree."

The little girl was quite impatient when she heard this, and blurted out, "If I can't be included in the family tree, then I won't be included. What's the big deal? As for the child, I won't have it."

Before she could finish, the man interrupted her coldly, "Why don't you have children?"

As he said this, he grabbed the little girl and said, "Is that what you think? You have never thought about giving birth to a child for me."

She was a concubine, so any child she gave birth to would be a bastard's. Since she couldn't give the child honor and glory, why should she give birth to the child and suffer?

Qin Xiaoning never thought about having a child for Lu Ji.

If life is not going well for her, she might just leave home one day, so why would she have a child to tie her down?

The little girl was never confused about these things.

"Did I get it right?" The man became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and his grip on her hand gradually tightened: "Have you really never thought about having a baby for me?"
