Chapter 45: Someone can subdue a wild horse
"Second brother, are you here to visit my aunt?" When Lu Ji came closer and glanced at his unfriendly face, Li Lanchun quickly brought out the Duke's wife.

Lu Ji looked at her, his deep eyes were filled with coldness. Li Lanchun took one look and felt her heart tremble under his powerful aura. Without waiting for Lu Ji to speak, she hurriedly said, "My aunt is still waiting for the doctor to take care of her. I'll go in first."

Having said that, he left Lu Ji behind and quickly ran away with the doctor.

"Second brother is here." As soon as he entered the room, Li Lanchun said to the Duke's wife breathlessly.

"Who?"

The Duchess could hardly believe her ears. She put down her hands that were covering her face, stood up from the couch, and looked out through the window.

Glancing at her son's gloomy face, the Duke's wife snorted and said through her teeth, "What is this little bastard doing here? Didn't he think I wasn't mad enough yesterday?"

Li Lanchun stroked his chest and said, "I just ran into my second brother at the door. He glared at me for several times. He must still be mad at us for what happened yesterday. We'll see. He might come to argue with us."

"Stubborn."

When the Duke's wife got angry, she felt a sharp pain in her teeth and quickly covered her face to hold back the scolding she was about to say.

Lu Ji entered the house and looked up to see his mother glaring at him. He glanced at his sister-in-law beside him, and Li Lanchun quickly turned her head away and avoided looking at him.

"What are you doing here?" The Duke's wife covered half of her face. Although the words were squeezed out from between her teeth, it did not affect the anger in her words.

Lu Ji said, "I heard that mother's toothache has caused her to not eat anything, so I'll bring her some soup."

As soon as Lu Ji said this, the Duke's wife was stunned, Li Lanchun also looked at Lu Ji in disbelief, and Nanny Zhou beside the Duke's wife was so surprised that she could fit an egg in her mouth.

Lu Ji put the food box in his hand on the table, looked at Madam Zhou, and said, "Madam, please go get the bowl and spoon."

Nanny Zhou has served the Duke's wife all her life and has watched Lu Ji grow up since he was a child. This cold and hard-hearted prince made mistakes when he was a child, but he refused to admit his mistakes even when the Duke's wife broke the cane.

Oh my god! Now I have to admit my mistake by handing soup and water to my mother?

For a moment, Nanny Zhou really thought that her eyes were blurry. It took her a while to come to her senses. She hurriedly said, "I'll go right away. I'll go right away."

The Duke's wife and her niece looked at each other. The Duke's wife turned to look at her son, not even caring about her toothache. She looked surprised and said, "What's wrong with you? It's like you've changed your personality."

Lu Ji sat down on the chair, his thin lips moved, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say. Seeing this, the Duke's wife immediately said, "Forget it, forget it, don't mention what happened yesterday anymore."

It was really difficult for Lu Ji to say something soft like apologize to others. Seeing his mother so considerate, he breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, Nanny Zhou brought the tableware, and Lu Ji stood up to take it, saying, "I'll serve soup to mother."

This is the first time in his life that my son has been so considerate to me.

The moment the Duke's wife took the bowl of soup, tears almost fell from her eyes.

The last time she cried was when she was born.

This is the first time in my life that I feel so moved.

She was so happy that the toothache disappeared instantly. The Duchess drank the soup in one breath. Lu Ji then personally served her another bowl. The Duchess looked at her son with a smile on her face, and felt even more relieved.

The son finally grew up, became sensible, and knew how to feel sorry for his mother.

"This soup is well made, it suits my taste." Like her son, the Duke's wife was not good at expressing herself. Although she was happy in her heart, she only praised the soup. "This is made by Ning. If mother likes it, I will ask her to make it for you tomorrow." Lu Ji said.

The Duke's wife stopped drinking her soup and asked, "Who made it?"

Lu Ji said: "A Ning."

Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife sighed slightly and said to herself, "What a good child."

"Is mother's toothache better now?" Lu Ji asked.

People with impatient tempers get angry quickly and leave quickly. Once they relax, their anger will subside immediately.

The Duke's wife smiled and did not answer Lu Ji directly. Instead, she said to her son, "It's okay as long as you can eat. Ah Ning's cooking skills are good. I will thank her later."

After Lu Ji left, Li Lanchun still felt as if in a dream, muttering, "I thought my second brother was here to call me to task, but it's strange that he suddenly changed his temper."

The Duke's wife wiped her eyes quickly and said, "My son has really grown up."

"That's right, you've grown up now." Li Lanchun echoed.

The Sixth Miss on the side glanced at her mother and eldest sister-in-law who were praising Lu Ji one sentence after another, and interrupted, "It must be Sister Qin who persuaded him."

Seeing that the two did not believe her, the Sixth Miss continued, "I went to see my second brother yesterday, and he was still angry. I talked to him for a long time, but he just wouldn't listen and kept arguing with me. Sister Qin pulled me out and said she would persuade him."

As he spoke, he pointed at the bowl of soup that the Duke's wife had drunk up and said, "Didn't he also say that the soup was made by Sister Qin? It can be seen that he changed his temper only after listening to Sister Qin's advice."

The Duke's wife and Li Lanchun suddenly understood. Li Lanchun said with emotion: "Second brother has a temper like a wild horse. I never thought there would be someone who could tame him."

The Duke's wife was silent for a long time, then said, "A Ning is a child who had a hard life."

Li Lanchun had long seen that her mother-in-law liked Qin Xiaoning, so she took the opportunity to say, "Since my second brother likes Ah Ning, and mother likes her too, then keep her for a long time. Even if the mistress comes in later, no one can drive her away with just your word, right?"

These are matters in her son's room. As a mother-in-law, she should let her daughter-in-law handle them. If she interferes too much, she may be blamed and cause unrest in the family. But Qin Xiaoning is really popular. Apart from anything else, the fact that she can persuade her stubborn son is precious.

My son is too cold, hard and unruly, he needs a woman like this to advise him.

Seeing that the Duke's wife remained silent, Li Lanchun continued, "I just went out to look for a doctor and ran into someone from Madam Jiang's side on the street. They chased me and asked what we thought. It seems that Madam Hou and Miss Jiang are still very interested in this marriage."

Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife was surprised and said, "Ji'er had that attitude yesterday, and my cousin hasn't given up yet?" Then she sneered and said, "She is arrogant, this is not like her style."

Even the wife of the Duke felt embarrassed when the man humiliated her in public during a blind date, so Mrs. Jiang should be even more embarrassed.

"That's right. I also think it's good that the Jiang family doesn't blame us. I never thought they would rush to marry us." Then he guessed, "Could it be that Miss Jiang's intention?"

If the girl from the Jiang family saw Lu Ji and fell in love with him and was determined to marry him, Mrs. Jiang would have no choice.

It is true that Lu Ji was rude yesterday, but a man like him is most likely to arouse a girl's love. Once a girl is moved, she will not care about anything else.

The Duke's wife nodded upon hearing this and said, "I'm afraid that's what you guessed."
