Chapter 320 Lu Ji was furious
Not long after Qin Xiaoning sent Li Lanchun away, Xia Yun brought the fifth girl to the palace.
I came to discuss adopting a child with Qin Xiaoning.
One of her two sons was adopted by Li Lanchun as the eldest son of the first wife, and the other was the eldest son of the second wife. Both children had noble status and were protected by the two mistresses, who were also good friends with her and promised that they would never cut off the mother-son relationship between her and her children.
Qin Xiaoning naturally agreed.
As soon as Xia Yun mentioned it, Qin Xiaoning agreed immediately.
After the two of them had discussed it, Xia Yun left happily. As she and the fifth girl were just walking out of the palace gate, they ran into Lu Ji who had returned.
"Brother, you're back so early."
Xia Yun stepped forward and greeted him, with a bright smile on her face.
Lu Ji looked a little surprised. This sister-in-law was shy by nature. In the past, it was good enough that she didn't avoid him when she saw him. She had never been so warm to him before.
"Are you here to see An Ning?" Lu Ji said casually.
People are in high spirits when they are happy. When Lu Ji asked this, Xia Yun started talking immediately: "A Ning is pregnant with twins. My sister-in-law just came this morning, so I rushed over this afternoon."
She's pregnant with twins?
Before Xia Yun finished speaking, Lu Ji was surprised and delighted and asked, "Is this what the imperial physician just diagnosed? I didn't even know about it."
"This morning, when Doctor Pang examined her pulse, Ah Ning said that when she was in Qianzhou, some doctors diagnosed twins, but none of them were as sure as Doctor Pang." Xia Yun asked in confusion, "Two boys, too. How could it be that Second Brother didn't know about such a big thing?"
Such a big thing, but the little woman didn't even mention a word to him.
Lu Ji's face darkened slightly.
Xia Yun was still immersed in the joy of having a child, and did not notice Lu Ji's displeasure. Seeing that he remained silent, she said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I want to thank my second brother and A Ning. My eldest sister-in-law and I have never had a child. Because of this, we can't hold our heads up in the circle of noble ladies. My second brother and A Ning can adopt your child to us. I am really grateful in my heart."
"What?" This time, Lu Ji's face turned completely black: "This is simply nonsense!"
Because of anger, veins popped out on the man's forehead and even his voice became higher.
Xia Yun, who was beaming with joy at the side, was so frightened that she took two steps back.
"Such a big thing, could it be that second brother doesn't know about it?" Xia Yun tightly grasped the handkerchief, glanced at Lu Ji's dark face, and asked hesitantly.
Lu Ji snorted coldly and without bothering to pay any more attention to Xia Yun, he turned around and strode towards the main hall.
Without waiting for the maid at the door to report, Lu Ji pushed open the door of the palace in two steps at a time. The little woman was leaning lazily on the chaise longue, holding a box of dried fruits in one hand and picking out things from it with the other. When she saw Lu Ji coming in, she just glanced at him indifferently, and she was too lazy to even raise her head, and just kept eating the dried fruits.
But Lu Ji couldn't hold back any longer.
He walked up to Qin Xiaoning in three or two steps, looked down at her and asked, "Who allowed you to give my child to my elder sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law?" Qin Xiaoning then raised her head, nodded at the little Wuzi beside her, and motioned Lu Ji to sit down.
There was no room for Lu Ji to sit down.
"Qin Xiaoning, you are really going too far." The man was so excited that he couldn't help but pace back and forth on the ground. After calming himself down, he came to the little woman again: "Tell me, what do you mean? Why should we give our child to others?"
The man's voice was almost trembling with excitement, and his tone was full of anger.
Qin Xiaoning raised her hand and pulled him aside to sit down. The man suppressed his temper and asked one question after another: "Qin Xiaoning, you are not deliberately using this method to retaliate against me? I tell you, if you are angry, you can come at me, don't joke with the child."
"How could I use my child to get angry with you?" Qin Xiaoning rolled her eyes at Lu Ji: "Just listen to my explanation."
She said to Lu Ji, "The eldest and third grandmothers don't have sons. If the child is raised by them, they will definitely take good care of him. If he is raised by Wang Fengyi, I will not feel at ease. After all, we had conflicts in the past. I am worried that she will not treat my child well. So, I agreed to the eldest and third grandmothers. In this way, the children can have a noble status, and the first and second wives will also have incense. Isn't it a happy thing?"
When Li Lanchun came just now, she also said that there would be a wedding in the mansion, which shows that Lu Ji is definitely going to marry Wang Fengyi.
This is already a fact, and Qin Xiaoning has let it go.
Since I can't get it, there's no need to waste my efforts. There's no need to be angry with Lu Ji.
From now on, he will stay with his wife, and she will find a young man to marry, and they will all live their lives in peace.
There's no need to make a fuss.
So at this moment, when Qin Xiaoning and Lu Ji were talking about this, they were calm and spoke kindly.
Lu Ji was still upset.
He stared at Qin Xiaoning coldly and asked unhappily, "Let me ask you, apart from planning for yourself and the child, have you ever thought about me at all?"
She really hadn't planned for him.
He is already the regent, holds great power, and is about to marry a noble lady. Why does he need others to worry about him?
Facing the man's anger, Qin Xiaoning was in a good mood: "The child is the flesh and blood of the Lu family, raised by the eldest grandmother and the third grandmother, which does not affect the fact that you are the child's biological father. The eldest grandmother and the third grandmother also told me that if you want to teach these two children in the future, they will not stop you, nor will they hide the fact that you are the child's biological father from the children."
She paused, then turned serious again: "It's just that you promised me that you would pass the title to the child, you have to keep your promise."
She talked about her plan ramblingly, not paying any attention to the man's dark face, and continued, "I also told the eldest grandmother today that you promised to pass the throne to my child. After you have the throne, the title of the Duke's Prince will be given to the eldest son. The eldest grandmother also said that she wants to take our second son as her nephew and let him inherit the title of Duke in the future. Let the third grandmother raise the eldest son to inherit your title of king in the future."
Both children have the right to inherit the most noble title. When the little woman mentioned this, she felt satisfied and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
"This is not a good idea." She looked at Lu Ji and said sternly, "This way, your wife can't say anything. With the protection of the eldest and third grandmothers, even if she wants to mistreat my child, she can't. This also saves you the trouble of being caught in the middle."
