Chapter 27: Mother and Son

"Take her down, it's good that a slave like this who doesn't know how to advance or retreat will be sold directly next time." The old lady waved her hand to Mama Li, not wanting to bother with jade anymore.

"Old lady, the slave knows that she is wrong, please be kind to the old lady." Cuiyu still wanted to ask for mercy, but she was gagged by the mother-in-law who had eyes next to her.

"Old lady, the matter has been settled, you better take a rest." Mama Li said.

"I want to take a break, but if you look at them, there is one peace of mind, although Sister Ying said that there was something wrong, but she was right in one place. A-Ning is also older now, but it is not right to be in the same room with the Seventh Prince without hesitation like this, let people look at it, and as soon as Grandpa Guo comes back, he will let her come to me. The old lady pinched her eyebrows and said yes.

"Your Highness, why do you say this, every time you see the seventh brother come back, you have to get sick." Rong Jue's princess looked at Rong Jue's pale face and said distressedly.

"You don't have to worry, Xiao Qi is just confused for a while, and his temperament will always get better. Father's attitude towards him is ambiguous now, if I don't care anymore, Xiao Qi will only go astray. Rong Jue said soothingly.

"But how many times have you told him that he has listened, and even he is reluctant to come to our house. The concubine heard that the Seventh Prince and the Lord of Taining cared very well, can you ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to persuade her, after all, the eldest princess has a life-saving grace for the Seventh Highness. Princess Qin said. Yuruo, I've worked hard for you all these years, I understand your worries, but Xiao Qi is rebellious, even Aunt An Guo can't do anything about him. And don't say that Xiao Qi and Tai Ning have a good relationship in the future, Xiao Qi is okay, Tai Ning is still a child, and it is not good for her reputation to spread it. My aunt has only had one child for Taining for so many years, which is her lifeline, and she can't be hurt a little. Rong Jue said.

"This concubine knows that this is not only His Royal Highness and the concubine, Xiao Qi has been alone for many years, although he has been unruly, he has never been close to women, and it can be said that he is young before, but now that he has grown up, the people he usually serves are close servants except for Xiaowu, does this mean that he likes Taining and is waiting for Taining to grow up." Qin asked thoughtfully.

"Hey, even you can see that there are many people who can see it, but no one has ever taken it seriously, and my aunt will not marry Taining back to the royal family. She has been accustomed to seeing the battles and deceit in the palace since she was a child, how could she let her beloved daughter enter that big dye vat again. So even if Xiao Qi wants to, it's just wishful thinking, the age difference between him and Taining is a bit big, and his father will not allow Xiao Qi to never get married. You should also bear more, and when he grows up, he will understand. Rong Jue comforted him, and he didn't want his wife and brother to have a disagreement.

"I know, the seventh brother of the concubine is weak, and the seventh brother will not be as knowledgeable as a child, I just hope that His Royal Highness will feel more sorry for himself." Qin said.

"I will, I still have to accompany you and the children, there are more things waiting for me to do." Rong Jue hugged Qin in his arms and said.

"Master, the old lady asked you to go to Songhe Courtyard." As soon as Lu Qing came back, he heard the report from his subordinates, and raised his feet and went in the direction of Songhe Courtyard. I wondered if something had happened, which is why the old lady was so anxious.

"I've seen my mother, I don't know why my mother is in such a hurry to come to me?" The old lady looked at the handsome son below, who was the best age for a man. But since the Zheng family's incident, their mother-son relationship has faded, and the meeting is so formulaic, with little warmth.

"I called you here to tell you about Aning." The old lady said.

"What's wrong with Aning?" Lu Qing was a little confused, in his heart, A-Ning was the most well-behaved daughter.

"A-Ning is your daughter and a princess, and she grew up by your side since she was a child, so it is understandable that you prefer some. But she has been ten years old for a few years, and the Seventh Prince can still enter and leave her boudoir casually, so is it unseemly, and it is not good for A-Ning's reputation to spread it. The old lady said.

"Who said that, even if A-Ning is ten years old now, he is still a child, and he and the Seventh Prince have grown up together since childhood, who poured dirty water on such a young child, his mind is really vicious." Lu Qing said coldly.

Lu Qing vaguely knew that his wife regarded Rong Li as a candidate for son-in-law, so he would let the two children have more contact. And over the years, Rong Li's attention to A-Ning has even been admitted, and even if there are parents in other families, if there are people around, he will not interfere too much with his cousins. But although he knew it in his heart, Lu Qing was still very angry when he heard others say it clearly.

"You can't stop others from gossiping, no, I'm also for the good of the child, and I always have to avoid it." The old lady said.

"I know, the princess has been living here for some days, and it's not a matter if the princess's mansion is always empty, and the three of us will move back to the princess's mansion in a few days." After Lu Qing finished speaking, he left Songhe Courtyard. The old lady looked at her son's back and was helpless, although she knew that her son didn't like to hear it, but she was also for the good of the child. Lu Qing was still depressed until he returned to the courtyard.

"Who went to the old lady's yard just now?" Lu Qing looked at Lu Cheng and asked.

The subordinates inquired, and in the afternoon, the three girls went to the courtyard of the county lord and had a quarrel with the Seven Princes. The county lord couldn't get used to it, so he reprimanded a few words, and then the three girls were called by the old lady to Songhe Courtyard. The old lady punished the three girls for grounding, and the maid reproached and betrayed. Lu Cheng said truthfully.

"I really overestimated her, she hasn't been together since she was a child and she is not the same mother, I forced her to have sisterhood." Lu Qing said with a sigh, a flash of exhaustion in his eyes. Lu Cheng lowered his head silently, he had no position to speak at this time.

"You're back, dinner is ready." The eldest princess of Anguo watched Lu Qing come in and said softly.

"Why didn't A-Ning come over, but he was not feeling well?" Lu Qing looked at the only two of them in the room and asked.

"The little girl didn't dare to come over to eat if she did something wrong, for fear that you would discipline her." Princess An replied.

"Just how much trouble can she do with that body." Lu Qing smiled.

"Today she reprimanded Sister Ying's girl, although there is a reason for the incident, she is a little disrespectful to the eldest sister after all." Princess An said.

"That incident, A-Ning didn't do anything wrong, it's Sister Ying'er's girl who is too innocent." Lu Qing said indifferently.
