"Sister Yun, you're right. It's good to like children." Lu Jingqiu smiled faintly, "I like children too. It's so lively to have children at home."

"It's a bit sunny here, let's go this way." Pei Yun deliberately pulled Lu Jingqiu forward a few steps quickly and whispered in her ear, "Sister Lu is telling the truth. Our An'er is a handsome little boy, and mother likes him very much."

The two maids, Lixia and Liqiu, who were following behind Lu Jingqiu, looked at each other. They were all carefully selected by the Marquis's wife and specially came to follow Lu Jingqiu. Seeing this, they immediately followed and pushed Dongqing and Bai Su behind.

"Miss Pei, I wonder if the young master is being raised by your madam on a daily basis?" Lixia asked in a low voice.

"No, our An'er still needs breastfeeding. He is fed by his biological mother herself." Pei Yun was secretly happy and said with a smile, pretending to be innocent.

"Ah... Could it be that there is no wet nurse in the mansion?" Li Qiu said in surprise. How could a wealthy family not hire a wet nurse to raise their young master? The practice of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion was really surprising.

"I don't know either. I find it strange too." Pei Yun shook her head and said, "My mother told me not to ask too many questions as a kid."

"You two shut up." Lu Jingqiu looked at Lixia and Liqiu with a sullen face, "The Yong'an Marquis' Mansion has its own rules, what do you know about them?"

Pei Yun was secretly delighted. Although Miss Lu sounded relaxed, she must be furious inside.

She remembered that her aunt had said last time that her second brother was blinded by the little bitch Chanyi, and now he has become a half-human, half-ghost. We must avenge this grudge, so she thought of taking this opportunity to start some trouble.

"Sister Lu, you have such a good temper." Pei Yun blinked her eyes and pretended to be innocent. "My brother, the eldest son, is a man who values ​​love. He personally chose Sister Chanyi and she gave birth to An'er for him. It's understandable that he treats her better. Sister Lu is such a sensible person, I think she will understand."

Dong Qing was very angry when she heard Pei Yun say such a thing, but she couldn't let others laugh at her in front of her, so she took a step forward and whispered, "Miss, you don't know, it's not that our young master didn't hire a wet nurse, but he didn't drink her milk, so our mistress had to let Miss Su feed him herself."

Lu Jingqiu's face was already a little tense. The Yong'an Marquis' Mansion was really funny. They had clearly promised their mother that they would deal with the mother and son, but now they asked a little girl to tell them that the prince had feelings for them and asked her to understand. What on earth did this mean?

But she was not stupid. This little girl thought she was smart, but she was just trying to stir up trouble. She didn't want to let her have her way. Dong Qing's words just now made her feel that her guess was correct. So she still smiled slightly, with a gentle and peaceful expression.

Pei Yun did not refute Dong Qing's words, but said in surprise: "If Sister Dong Qing hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known about it. Don't blame me, Sister Lu."

Lu Jingqiu just smiled and said nothing, as if she didn't hear what Pei Yun said.

"Sister Lu, the flower hall is in front. All the women are there." Seeing that she ignored her, Pei Yun pointed to the front and said happily.

Maybe I should meet Pei Jin in person and make it clear what I need to say. Lu Jingqiu made up her mind secretly. The two of them were discussing marriage, so it was normal for them to meet as long as it was not a secret meeting alone.

"Thank you, Sister Yun. We can go in by ourselves." Lu Jingqiu said with a smile.

"That won't do. Mother will blame me." Pei Yun waved her hand and said, "I have to accompany Sister Lu all the way today. You are a distinguished guest of our Marquis' Mansion."

After that, she cordially welcomed Lu Jingqiu and her servant into the small flower hall. Several girls were chatting, and when they saw her come in, they all stood up and looked at her with a smile.

"Sister Lu is here." Li Wanqing said with a smile. Her mother was a close friend of Mrs. Wang. Her mother happened to be sick during the last Lotus Banquet, so she missed this grand banquet, which made her sigh.

"Sister Li." Lu Jingqiu smiled warmly, "Please sit down. Don't let me interrupt your conversation."

"Hey, I heard that you and the prince are discussing marriage?" Li Wanqing deliberately said loudly, "Sister Lu is so lucky. It turns out that the person that Prince Pei likes is you! Sister is really something. You kept it a secret so tightly."

"Sister, don't talk nonsense. That's impossible." Lu Jingqiu didn't expect her to say that. Even though she was a calm and self-possessed person, her face turned slightly red.

"Sister Li, who is your ideal person?" the girl with a round face and big eyes asked in a low voice.

"Oh, you don't know. Last time, Master Pei took a young lady to the Treasure Pavilion and bought a peacock hairpin inlaid with sapphires. The young lady was wearing a Mi Li, so I couldn't see her appearance clearly, so I didn't know if she was Sister Lu. Master Pei protected her very well. I saw it with my own eyes, and it was definitely not a lie." Li Wanqing looked at Lu Jingqiu and said slowly.

"There is such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it? Sister Lu, when will you wear the peacock hairpin? Let us see it. I heard that the hairpin is the treasure of the Treasure Pavilion. I have no chance to see it. Master Pei is really good to you."

"Didn't we hear that the young lady was Princess Qingyuan?" someone interrupted.

"Don't talk nonsense. Her Royal Highness the Princess is not someone we can just mess around with."

I guess you guys are waiting here to tease me. No wonder these guys who usually argue with each other are so harmonious today. Lu Jingqiu knew it very well.

"Sister Li, I don't understand what you said. When it comes to marriage, it's all about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. We, as daughters, listen to our parents." Lu Jingqiu said in a gentle voice.

"Sister Lu is such a generous person. She can even tolerate her future husband having a lover." Li Wanqing snorted coldly, sat down, took out a handkerchief and wiped her fingers carefully. "I love cleanliness the most. I absolutely don't want anything that has been touched by others, especially men."

"Sister Li, what you said is very good. If that's the case, you should become a nun." Lu Jingqiu said calmly, "Among the wealthy families in Beijing, which noble son doesn't have a few concubines before marriage? Not to mention those who linger on the sidewalks. I heard that your brother had eight concubines before marriage."

"You..." Li Wanqing's face flushed red. She had just spoken too directly and didn't expect to confuse her own brother.

"But no matter how great my brother is, he didn't have any illegitimate children before marriage. Unlike you, Sister Lu, you became a mother as soon as you got married. It's a rare blessing." Li Wanqing said gritting her teeth.

Don't think you really got a great bargain. No matter how young and talented Prince Pei is, he has his shortcomings, right? Li Wanqing was really unwilling to accept this. She had a good family background, was prettier than Lu Jingqiu, and the mothers of the two families were good friends. Why did she let this ordinary Miss Lu get a bargain?

Pei Yun was happy to hear this, and suddenly she remembered that she was the master. Madam Wang asked her to take good care of Lu Jingqiu, so she quickly said, "Sister Li, my brother, the eldest son, had no choice but to have a concubine's son. If it weren't for that little concubine who secretly poured out the contraceptive soup, how could a family like our Yong'an Marquis' Mansion allow the birth of a concubine's son?"
