The couple shook hands and made peace. Lu Wulang began to study and practice martial arts seriously, and no longer cared about the two maids who were driven to the outer courtyard by Duan. He seemed to be the rhythm of a prodigal son turning back. Not long after, good news came out.

Duan is pregnant.

The mansion was going to have another child, and the old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop talking. After getting news from the Duan family, Mrs. Duan immediately brought supplements to visit her daughter. She carefully advised many taboos for pregnant women.

Duan smiled with his eyebrows and said, "Mom, don't worry, my third sister-in-law is familiar with Qihuang's technique and is a mother himself. I'll just ask her."

Mrs. Duan nodded, "The Lu family has a large population, and you are tough and don't know how to detour. I'm worried that you will not get along well with your sister-in-law."

Especially those in the past, they are all legitimate daughters-in-laws, and each of them has a good background. I don’t know if they look down on their daughter. Mrs. Duan is worried all day long, afraid that her daughter will be wronged. Now she looks at her daughter’s appearance, she is too concerned.

Duan smiled, "A few sisters-in-law are all reasonable people, and they treat me well, so you don't need to worry."

Mrs. Duan nodded, looked around again, lowered her voice and said, "Now you are pregnant and you are inconvenient. Have you ever told you about lifting your room?"

She knew the rules of the Lu family. Before the legitimate son was born, he was not allowed to take concubines. However, if he did not take concubines, he could take the room.

Lu Wulang is young and energetic, how can he bear it?

"No."

Duan frowned slightly and said, "Mom, I know what you mean. If he wants it, I will prepare it for him. But if he doesn't speak, I will not take the initiative to arrange it for him."

Any woman is not willing to serve her husband with others, and the same is true for Duan.

Mrs. Duan sighed lightly.

The Duan family is not a wealthy family. She and her husband have been married for more than 20 years and have always had a harmonious relationship. Even so, Mr. Duan has taken two concubines. A noble family like the Duke's Mansion should focus on inheritance of their children. How could they only guard one woman in their lifetime?

Women all hope to get their husbands' favor, but they cannot escape the constraints of feudal ethics. They can only pretend to be generous in order to gain a reputation.

She was worried that her daughter would be too tough and had an unhappy relationship with her son-in-law for this matter.

"I know, you have an idea. But when this woman gets married, it's different from when she was in the boudoir." Duan's tone was full of helplessness in his tone of giving in to feudal ethics. "The harmony of husband and wife is the most important. If he wants it, you will choose two suitable ones from your side. In the end, you can't turn it out. If he speaks on his own, he will not want anyone around you."

Duan pursed her lips and her tone was calm.

"Mom, I have a sense of sensation." She looked faint, without any sorrow or joy. "I will do my duty as a wife. Now he is studying and practicing martial arts, and probably has no intention of doing that. If he wants to do it in the future, I will not be jealous."

I said this, but I still feel a little unhappy.

Isn’t the sister-in-law just a spoiled one after another? Duan remembers that one time he went to Chu Yuyuan with his sister-in-law. The third sister-in-law said something that good men were trained by women. She deeply agreed with this.

Lu Wulang used to be a slutty young man with unruly words and deeds. She was finally trained to become a good man with both civil and military responsibilities and motivation. If she just pushed it to other women, how could she be willing to do so.

She was a person who couldn't hide her words. After seeing off her mother, she asked Lu Wulang directly that night, "I am pregnant now and I have inconvenience. Do you want to carry the room?"

Lu Wulang was stunned, but he didn't expect that she would mention this. Although she looked calm when she saw her, her red lips were slightly pursed, she was obviously reluctant. After spending more than two months together, he still knew his newlywed wife quite well.

"Need not."

Lu Wulang shook his head and then looked at her with a smile, "Beautiful beauty, but what you said, Madam, I have always remembered it for my husband and never dared to forget it."

There was a slight joke in his tone, but it was not a joke.

Duan breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Wulang said again, "I plan to run for the imperial guards next year."

He is now a civil servant, a virtual position, and has a lot of room for improvement, but he is indeed not good at this. However, he has recently regained his martial arts skills and is becoming more and more like a fish in water. Being a general is suitable for him.

Duan was stunned again, feeling relieved.

"good."

She took off her earrings in front of the bronze mirror and suddenly said, "I went out of the house at the beginning of next month. After all, she called me a cousin's wife. I thought I should prepare a piece of makeup for her."

Lu Wulang muttered and didn't care much.

"Just prepare."

As he said that, he lay down.

Duan turned around and saw that he closed his eyes exhausted, thinking that he was extremely tired.

The last hint of worry in my heart also disappeared.

She didn't know what was wrong with her husband and Tang Jingxian, but judging from Tang Jingxian's attitude towards Lu Wulang and the temptation that day, her husband probably had some thoughts about this cousin in the big room. It was only because of various reasons that he had to wave his sword to cut off his love thread. No one can guarantee that Lu Wulang would be completely in love with Tang Jingxian, a beautiful cousin from outside.

But judging from his reaction just now, he was really calm.

Duan's mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

A few days later, she sent Tang Jingxian a double-sided embroidery that she had embroidered herself as makeup. The fine needlework made Tang Jingxian sigh. She was also good at female workers, but her skills were far less than Duan's. She didn't expect that Duan seemed to have such good skills if she was tough and not careful.

After all, it was a girl who married from the Duke's Mansion. Tang Jingxian had a big wedding, and the Duke's wife was still very generous and there were many guests watching the ceremony. Of course, the wine table inevitably became another round of blind date banquet.

Lu Liulang and Lu Qilang are both worthy of their titles, so it's time to discuss marriage.

In the second half of last year, Lu Shaorui, a 10-year-old girl from the second house, has already left the house, and the 11th girl from the fourth house and the 12th girl from the second house have also left the 13th girl from the third house. The 13th girl from the third house is in September and the 14th girl from the fourth house is in October. There are still 15th girl and 16th girl from the same age, and are discussing marriage.

Although they are all born in the public, the Lu family must be worthy of the children of officials.

The only wife of the Duke of the Kingdom was the youngest son, Jiulang Lu Feichi, who had not married yet, but he was still young and only eleven years old, so he was not in a hurry. The other girls and men in the house were just the other sisters-in-law. Of course, they were all family members, so she would be more convenient. There was also this reason for the arrangement of Tang Jingxian's wedding banquet in grand manner.

The second wife's legitimate son has married and had children. She is very satisfied. She is in a good mood and takes more care of the marriage of her concubines.

The third lady was worried about her granddaughter, and her health would be more relaxed to her children who were not biological.

As for the fourth wife, she saw that her son and daughter-in-law were still harmonious, and Yin Jie'er was over one year old, and the family was happy, and she looked happy. But she felt unhappy when she thought that her concubine Lu Qilang had a better future than her legitimate son. Especially Lu Qilang's two sisters, Lu Yunzhen had a second child at the beginning of the year and had both children. Although the mother-in-law didn't like her, her husband was kind to her, and the couple lived a very comfortable life. Lu Yunshuang also gave birth to a son last year, which was considered to have gained a foothold in the Ran family. This girl used to be willful. After being troubled by tea on the second day of her wedding, she went home and got the instruction of her biological mother, Aunt Mei, and formed an alliance with her second sister-in-law, who was also pregnant. With Master Ran's constraints, Mrs. Ran was not too mean, but instead made herself so angry that she was depressed.

Aunt Mei’s two daughters are well married, and her son is valued by Master Lu Si. Now she is an imperial guard. If she has a greater future, she might be able to ask her biological mother for her imperial edict.

Thinking of this, the fourth wife got angry. She originally thought that her son and daughter-in-law were still young and would have many children and blessings in the future. But seeing that Lu Qilang should get married next year, then Mr. Ruo's son, wouldn't Aunt Mei suppress her again?

This doesn't work.

The fourth wife immediately found her daughter-in-law, and her eyes swept across her belly intentionally or unintentionally.

"I think you are not very energetic recently, but have you asked the doctor to take a pulse?"

Sister Yin took the old lady to the old lady's house. Lu came here alone. He was stunned when he heard this. She ate well and slept well. How could she feel in a bad spirit and touch her mother-in-law's obscure gaze? She realized it in her heart and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

She gave birth to a daughter by natural delivery, and she was very careful after giving birth, and there was no physical problem. She wanted to have another son quickly, so that her mother-in-law and her husband could not help her. But now her daughter is over one year old, and her belly has not moved yet. When her mother-in-law asked this, she was dissatisfied with her. She was different from her sister-in-law. Her mother-in-law's family was not a famous family and was not in the capital, so no one supported her. Only by giving birth to a legitimate son can she have enough confidence.

"Probably, I have a bad appetite recently." She smiled reluctantly, "I'll go and ask my third sister-in-law to take a look for me tomorrow."

The fourth lady murmured and said nothing.

Lu and Ji Wan's aunt were related, but they had no direct blood relationship with Ji Wan. Although they were sisters-in-law, one was the wife of the eldest son and the other was the wife of the concubine's son. Although they got along well, they were not very close. Gynecology is also a secret for women, and Lu was really embarrassed to ask for the secret recipe for a child. But thinking of her mother-in-law's frown and not very happy, she gritted her teeth and expressed her purpose.

Ji Wan was stunned.

Lu's face turned red, her fingers stirred her handkerchief, her eyelashes drooped, and she was a little afraid to face her gaze.

As both women, Ji Wan could guess the reason why Mrs. Lu was worried. To be fair, the fourth wife was not a mean mother-in-law, but she had some harmless problems. These problems were found in many women of this era.

But for Lu, as his daughter-in-law, he was a little embarrassed.

"Fourth brother and sister, it's not that I refuse to help you. Your body is very healthy and there is no problem. This is also a matter of fate. The right time, place and people are indispensable. You must know that it is a medicine that has three parts poison. Any secret recipe for seeking a child has sequelae."

Just like her sister's eldest sister-in-law Shu, she relied on medicine to seek a child, which left the root of the disease.

Women in this era have a stable status only after giving birth to a son. She understands Lu's mood, but does not agree with her being anxious to seek medical treatment.

"You are still young, so don't be so anxious."

Mrs. Lu smiled bitterly.

She also wanted to be calm and gentle, but her mother-in-law was already urging her to do what she could do.

Seeing her like this, Ji Wan knew that this was probably not convincing to her, so she simply said, "Although the drugs induce pregnancy quickly, it cannot guarantee that they will be born in one fell swoop. Moreover, such drugs will have sequelae and may even lead to infertility in the future."

Mrs. Lu's face changed slightly.

What she wants is her son, and what her mother-in-law wants is also her grandson. If she gets a daughter at the cost of infertility, wouldn’t she be able to cut off her own way out?

Ji Wan knew she was shaken and continued, "If you want to get pregnant, you must first keep a good mood and don't put too much pressure on yourself, otherwise it will be bad for the child if you get pregnant."

Unable to get what he wished, Lu was very lonely and went back in depression. That night, he heard from his personal maid that Lu Silang went to the room of a maid who was more favored before, and his mood seemed to be worse.

Not long after, something happened again.

On September 19th, Lu Wenxin, a thirteenth girl from the third room, was delighted to leave the house. Lu was about to go to watch the ceremony when a noise suddenly came from outside. He could hear the woman's crying vaguely, and was very sad and aggrieved.

"Mrs. Fourth Young Master, please give me a way out"

Lu's expression frightened.

She recognized the voice as the maid Hanshuang, whom Lu Silang liked very much. This month, Lu Silang often went to the girl's house.

The personal maid Nian Zhen looked at the master's expression and felt annoyed. Those people outside were doing what they were doing, so they couldn't even drive away such a slutty hoof.

She was going out immediately, intending to send Hanshuang, who had been quite a bit of spring breeze recently.

But Lu said, "Let her come in."

The Lu family has strict tutoring. No matter which maid is a master or a maid, even if he has received the favor of his master, he will not dare to come to the mistress to provoke him, otherwise he would have been troubled.

Hanshuang had seen her, and she was quite a good person. But today she was abnormal and what she said was very mysterious.

She spoke, Nianzhen couldn't do anything, so she could only go out and brought Hanshuang, who was about to drag Hanshuang away because she couldn't drive him away.

Hanshuang is a beauty with an oval face, willow eyebrows, phoenix eyes, small lips, and delicate figure, with a far-reaching look that is far better than the Lu family. Therefore, it is even more favored by Lu Silang.
