Chapter 294 What is Lu Ji planning?

He paused, glancing at the little woman's face, "My king's wedding is coming up, so everyone will be busy."

Is Lu Ji really going to marry Wang Fengyi? !

Qin Xiaoning fell silent.

After a long while, Lu Ji spoke again: "Why aren't you talking?"

Seeing that she still didn't answer, the man smiled coldly and glanced at the little woman who hung her head and said nothing in front of him: "You regret it, right?"

Qin Xiaoning still didn't respond. Lu Ji stared at her. Seeing that she was about to twist the handkerchief in her hand into a dough, he finally couldn't help but urged: "What do you want to say? Don't hold it in, just say it."

There was a hint of impatience.

Qin Xiaoning raised her head with difficulty, but she didn't dare to look at Lu Ji. She asked with half-closed eyes, "Do you hate me?"

Lu Ji snorted when he heard this and asked, "What do you think?"

Qin Xiaoning didn't answer.

The two of them were silent for a long time. Lu Ji raised his hand and poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Qin Xiaoning. This time, his tone was a little softer. He asked her: "When you left me, did you know that you were pregnant?"

"No." Qin Xiaoning immediately raised her head and looked at Lu Ji steadily: "At that time, I didn't know I was pregnant. I really didn't know."

As if she was afraid that he would not believe her, she added, "If I knew I was pregnant, I would never leave."

She was talking, and Lu Ji interrupted her, "No need to explain."

Qin Xiaoning frowned slightly: "You don't believe me?"

The man glanced at her with his thin eyelids, and then replied: "I won't pursue this, but since you are pregnant with my child, you must give birth to it safely. If you dare to do anything else and hurt my child, I will never forgive you."

"Qin Xiaoning, I'm serious."

The man's expression was surprisingly serious, and his gaze at her was cold and majestic.

Qin Xiaoning said hurriedly: "Of course I have to take good care of myself and give birth to the baby smoothly."

She glanced at the man, then stroked her still flat belly: "After all, this is my child too."

"It's our child."

When she said the last sentence, she looked up at the man, with three parts of affection and seven parts of flattery in her eyes.

In her heart, she hoped that the man would forgive her for the sake of the child, but Lu Ji did not respond. His voice was still cold: "It's good that you understand."

After saying this, he left her and went out.

Qin Xiaoning stood on tiptoe and glanced through the window at the man's whereabouts. When she saw him leave the house and go to the pavilion in the courtyard, she frowned slightly.

After drinking her tea and thinking about her problems for a while, she walked out of the house. When she reached the door, she stopped again and hid in the door, secretly glancing at the man's actions.

The man just sat in the pavilion, with an upright posture and a dignified demeanor. People in high positions have a strong aura. Because of his presence, the birds that usually chirp in the courtyard have become quiet.

What was he thinking about?
After the conversation between the two just now, Qin Xiaoning could see that Lu Ji cared very much about the baby in her belly.

But I still blame her.

Qin Xiaoning wanted to go out to find Lu Ji, but after hesitating for a while, she gave up the idea.

Don't be too attentive and proactive.

She went back to her room and lay on the bed in a daze, thinking about her problems.

She wanted to be his wife.

She loved him, and he loved her, too. Most importantly, he was now in power, no longer constrained by others, and he had the ability to marry her. Lovers finally got married, this was the most perfect story, but unfortunately, she didn't believe him at first, didn't have the patience to wait, and left him so cruelly, which made him resentful.

He was afraid that he would no longer love her as much as before.

Definitely not.

Because she betrayed first, it would not be easy for her to win back the heart of a man like Lu Ji, who has a wild horse-like temperament.

Qin Xiaoning had never felt so depressed.

In the west of Wujin, the sky gradually darkened. Sister Wang came in and called her to have dinner, but Qin Xiaoning had no appetite.

"I don't want to eat anymore." She dismissed him casually and then lay on the bed, thinking about random things.

After a while, Sister Wang came in again and brought food: "The prince said that my wife is pregnant and must eat."

In the past, if she refused to eat, Lu Ji would coax her. Although he is still concerned about her now, it is for the sake of the child.

Although she felt disappointed, Qin Xiaoning still got up and ate her meal obediently.

She still has to work hard for it.

After thinking about it for an afternoon, Qin Xiaoning made up her mind that for the sake of her child, she would fight for the position of the regent's wife.

Although Lu Ji values ​​this child, there is a huge difference between a legitimate and illegitimate child.

Why should her child be inferior to Wang Fengyi's child? She has suffered enough injustice in her life because of her background, and she doesn't want her child to suffer the same.

Lu Ji is the one who controls the fate of her and her child.

She would try and catch him.

Qin Xiaoning ate dinner obediently. When Sister Wang came to clean up the dishes, she quietly reminded her, "If the prince asks later, you should say that I did eat, but I didn't look very happy."

Sister Wang didn't know Qin Xiaoning and Lu Ji's relationship as well as Song Zhi did. After listening to Qin Xiaoning's instructions, she asked, as if she understood, "Madam, do you want to make the prince feel distressed? Do you still want to follow the prince back to the capital?"

I have to go back.

But she didn't want to go back and continue to be a concubine.

Seeing Qin Xiaoning remained silent, Sister Wang knew that she had guessed right, so she sighed and said, "My lady, don't blame me for being nosy. I don't think this prince cares that much about you. He was confronting Lord Shen today just out of a man's instinct to 'protect his food'. If he really cared about you, he would have arranged to take you away. Look, you've been here for two days, and this prince hasn't mentioned anything about taking you back."

Sister Wang is a down-to-earth person. Since she followed Qin Xiaoning, she had planned for her whole life: "In my opinion, this prince is planning to make you his concubine."

Who knows?

She was not sure what Lu Ji was thinking at the moment.

Qin Xiaoning lay on the bed sighing, but she didn't see Lu Ji coming for a long time. It was not until it was completely dark and the night watch outside had sounded twice that she heard Lu Ji's footsteps entering the room.

"You're back?" Qin Xiaoning called out subconsciously, with a hint of surprise in her tone.

Lu Ji did not respond, but stepped onto the bed with his long legs. It was late summer and still hot outside. The man must have taken a shower by the well, and his body was still stained with the freshness of the well water.

Qin Xiaoning moved inside and said softly, "There is a bathroom in the house. The well water is cool. Although it is summer, if you get exposed to the cold air, you will catch a cold. You should take care of yourself."

Qin Xiaoning kept talking and expressing her concern, but the man never said a word.

She shut her mouth in dismay.

The two of them lay flat on the bed for a long time, and finally the man spoke. He asked, "It's so late, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"

Qin Xiaoning turned her head and replied, "Ever since I got pregnant, I have trouble sleeping at night."

There was a hint of grievance in her voice as she murmured, "You know, being pregnant is really hard. At the beginning, my stomach felt uncomfortable all day and I couldn't even eat."
