Chapter 162 2 Daughters
"I……"
Leng Qingyu had never heard of such a statement in his entire life.
Isn’t a woman’s job to take care of her husband, raise children, and manage the household?
Some women were born in humble circumstances and could only be slaves or concubines, never having a chance to make a breakthrough in their lives. Compared to them, Leng Qingyu always felt that she lived a good life.
The Marquis loves me so much that he even doesn't take a concubine for my sake. This is something many women would love to have.
But Xinran just said that none of this matters, and that a woman should live for herself?
"Xinran, are these thoughts of yours..."
Leng Qingyu wanted to say, isn’t this a bit shocking?
She looked at Xiao Huaian's expression but didn't say anything.
You can't say bad things about your daughter in front of your son-in-law.
Even if what she said was not right, it had to be right.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Huaian didn't care.
“Mrs. Lu, I think what the lady said is right.
When two people live together, they should understand each other and achieve mutual success.
No one should spend their whole life thinking about others and giving for others.
No matter what Ranran wants to do, I will definitely support her.
I will not ask her to live according to my ideas blindly just because she is a woman.
After all, before she became Xiao Ye, she was always Ye Xinran. "
Xiao Huaian's words greatly changed Leng Qingyu's impression of him.
It turns out that his cold and stern appearance is just his appearance. In fact, he is a good man who can understand and support his wife.
This is completely opposite to the impression Lu Tingen gives people.
Thinking about it carefully, Tinn always seemed polite and caring towards me, but over the years, he rarely really talked to me about his inner thoughts.
In the first few years after their marriage, when Lu Tingen needed money to do things, Leng Qingyu would learn about his difficulties from the old lady or the servants, and would take the initiative to give him money to help him solve them.
He always seemed to show his concern for others openly, but kept his own affairs secret.
"Mrs. Lu,"
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Ye Xinran could not help but remind her, “I know that based on this point alone, it is difficult to convince you to doubt a person you have lived with for more than ten years.
In fact, you might as well give it a try.
Try to look at him from a bystander's perspective from now on.
You will come to your own conclusions.”
Leng Qingyu's trust in Lu Tingen had already been shaken when she got the test results.
Now Ye Xinran's words completely woke her up.
Escaping is not the solution to the problem. Now, if you want to resolve this predicament, you can only rely on yourself.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Leng Qingyu calmed herself down and took a carriage back to Wei Mansion.
She thought a lot along the way, from how they met to how they lived together.
It seemed as if Lu Tingen was in control of everything and she was just the passive enjoyer.
No wonder my sister always says that she is dazzled by Lu Tingen.
Now she had to change her attitude and look at Lu Tingen again from the perspective of a guest.
When I returned to the courtyard where I lived, the marquis was scolding his men.
Seeing Leng Qingyu coming back, he immediately asked people to leave, then turned to look at Leng Qingyu with a smile: "Madam, you came back so quickly, why didn't you stay over there for lunch?"
"I was afraid that the Marquis would worry, so I hurried back."
Leng Qingyu looked at the Marquis's reaction calmly.
As expected, once there is a gap in your heart, you will find problems in everything you see.
When I saw the Marquis like this before, I only thought he was gentle and elegant, with the demeanor of a scholar.
But looking at it now, I feel that his expression is a bit fake.
One second she wanted to kick the guard away, and the next second she was as gentle as water.
Isn’t this transformation a bit too fast?
Lord Lu didn't know what Leng Qingyu was thinking, and he held his wife's hand as before and said:
"I told you that you're not feeling well. You need to eat well and get some rest. It's already past dinner time and you're not back yet.
Yan Qiu, go prepare a bowl of red date and glutinous rice porridge for Madam, and pair it with Madam’s favorite stuffed bamboo shoots and smoked goose breast.”
When Yan Qiu heard this, he quickly agreed and asked the small kitchen to prepare it.
Leng Qingyu kept staring at the Marquis's face, but couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Is he really pretending to be like this?
Lu Tingen stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Leng Qingyu.
"What's wrong ma'am, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, nothing!"
Leng Qingyu shook his head. "My Lord, have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat some more with me?"
Lu Tingen smiled and said, "I've already eaten it. I ate it with my daughter just to help you coax her."
"Zhiyi? What happened to her?"
Leng Qingyu couldn't help but ask.
"You're still asking!" Lord Lu tapped her forehead, "You are really too biased!
I went to see the other daughter early in the morning. I know that she is young after all, and it is hard for her to accept that her mother likes the other daughter but not her. "
Leng Qingyu felt a little aggrieved, "How could I not like her? They are both my daughters."
"Knowing that Zhiyi is your daughter, you should be nicer to her in the future."
Seeing the Marquis' attitude, Leng Qingyu couldn't help but ask, "What about Xinran? The Marquis has never come with me to see Xinran. Would you like to take some time to meet our daughter?"
Lu Tingen's face was a little embarrassed: "I said before that I would go to see her with you, but you said you were afraid of scaring her and asked me to go later."
"Then the Marquis is also willing to acknowledge this daughter?"
Leng Qingyu asked.
"Yes, as long as she is my daughter I will definitely acknowledge her, but..."
Lu Tingen changed the subject and said, "I need to confirm that she is my daughter first."
"Do you really need to do a blood test to identify your relationship?" Leng Qingyu asked.
"How can just anyone get into the bloodline of our Lu family?"
Lord Lu suppressed his expression and said, "Madam, don't mind it. It's just a drop of blood."
"Okay. If it is confirmed that Xinran is our daughter, the Marquis should treat Xinran like he treats Zhiyi."
Leng Qingyu said.
"Of course. How can I not love my own daughter? But Qingyu, there are people in this world who look very similar. I'm afraid that if the test turns out that she is not our daughter, you will be sad."
"I will not."
Leng Qingyu said: "I am not a philanthropic person, and I will not be sad for people who have nothing to do with me. But, I believe that Xinran must be my child."
The Marquis did not comment. Seeing that the food had been served, he served Leng Qingyu a bowl of porridge and said:
“After confirming Ye Xinran’s identity, should we return to the capital?
I still have some official business to attend to, and your tranquilizer is almost finished, so I asked Shunyitang to make some new medicine for this year. After we return to Beijing, we will go get it together."
"Ok!"
Leng Qingyu did not refute, but just lowered his head and drank the porridge.
Lu Tingen looked at her, with a barely perceptible smile flashing across his lips.
