I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

"Erlang, what a foolish thing you have done."

These words were spoken before the old lady arrived.

Then one saw the old lady in the lead, followed by the eldest wife, Mrs. Sun, her daughter Lu Yuner, and a number of servants.

"Second brother, what are you going to do? No matter what mistakes your sister-in-law made, she is pregnant. You can't be so violent."

Sun looked at her with a look of "I'm talking to you."

Zhao Rulan immediately shouted, "Just shut up."

"Have you ever seen a husband holding a sword and violently attacking his wife while she was sleeping?"

"Mother, you see, I, Zhao Rulan, am the eldest daughter of the royal family. I entered the Lu family with a dowry of thousands of dollars, hoping to live a good life. But what about the Second Master..."

Zhao Rulan said this, looking at Lu Zhaowen.

"He drew his sword and tried to kill my wife when I was about to give birth."

"If you, the Lu family, cannot protect me and still want to kill me, it would be better for us to divorce. Today, Second Master will give me the divorce letter. I will leave the Lu family before dawn."

Lu Zhaowen was speechless. He didn't expect that Zhao Rulan would ask for a divorce while she was pregnant.

Didn't she like him very much and admire him very much?

He just took advantage of her love for him to hurt her so wantonly, over and over again, wasn't that right?

In addition to hurt and coldness in Zhao Rulan's eyes, there was also complete disappointment towards Lu Zhaowen.

"Mother Lan, what nonsense are you talking about? Erlang was just impulsive. He is a family-oriented man who always puts his family first. What happened today was Erlang's fault. Mother apologizes to you on behalf of Erlang. Don't be angry. If you are angry, the child in your belly will be angry. You are pregnant with our Lu family's grandson."

The grandson of the Lu family?

Zhao Rulan sneered inwardly.

The old lady was not talking about the eldest grandson of the Lu family, but the grandson of the Lu family.

"Mother, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you also know that the second master's mistress gave birth to two children for him?"

When asking this question, Zhao Rulan's hands were shaking.

The old lady's eyes flickered, but she didn't answer directly. Instead, she said, "No matter what, you are the eldest lady of the second branch of the Lu family. Your position is unshakable. Now you are the mistress of the Lu family. What else are you not satisfied with?"

"What else can I not be satisfied with?" Zhao Rulan suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down her cheeks, "You Lu family, you guys teamed up to deceive me alone."

"I, Zhao Rulan, have suffered so much from being deceived by you."

"You should never have bullied and humiliated me when I was pregnant, and you should never have ganged up on me when I was about to give birth."

Zhao Rulan was trembling all over.

Cheng Yu saw the water under Zhao Rulan and became panicked.

"Ma'am, your water broke, don't be angry, don't be angry with yourself."

She leaned close to Zhao Rulan's ear and said, "After the baby is born, you will have plenty of time to make the Lu family pay the price."

There was a panic in the hall at this moment. What Cheng Yu said was right next to Zhao Rulan's ear, but others could not hear it unless they listened carefully.

Seeing that the anger in her eyes had faded a little, Cheng Yu knew that she had listened to what he said.

The mother's water breaks first, which means she is about to give birth.

Regardless of the wound on his forehead, Cheng Yu personally supported Zhao Rulan, called two midwives, and prepared all the things needed in the delivery room.

In fact, the delivery room was prepared in advance, and everything needed inside was ready, but the scissors for cutting the umbilical cord and alcohol were all placed in the cabinet, and now they all need to be taken out.

Zhao Rulan's wet nurse, Mother Zhang, had gone to bed early and was already lying down. When she learned that something had happened to the eldest lady, she ran over in a panic without even putting on her clothes properly.

"Madam, where is the madam?"

On the way here, the little maid who went to call grandma had already said that the second master of the Lu family came with a sword to punish the eldest lady, but he hurt the concubine he kept outside.

Xiangling replied in a hurry.

"Madam has been sent to the delivery room."

"Mother Zhang, the eldest lady is covered in blood. The second master came with a sword and frightened the eldest lady into giving birth prematurely."

Because the old lady was there, Xiangling didn't say anything too harsh.

But Mother Zhang knew it in her heart.

She looked at Old Madam Lu with the attitude of a wet nurse in the palace.

"Madam, no matter what, the eldest lady is the eldest daughter of the royal family. If something happens to the Lu family today, not to mention that the prince can report Lord Lu to the emperor, even the eldest lady's brother, the prince of Jing Palace, is a man who loves his sisters."

"I will tell the prince everything about what happened today. Do you really think that my wife has no one to rely on and let you bully her like this?"

"Second Master, today I have made a statement. Even if the Madam had beaten the concubine to death, she would still be right in front of His Majesty. If this matter really gets to His Majesty, I am afraid that Second Master and the Lu family will be accused of marriage fraud."

I don’t see Mother Zhang very often on weekdays. Even when I do, she always has a kind face and no intimidating air.

Today, he suddenly showed some majesty, which made the old lady of the Lu family and Lu Zhaowen dumbfounded.

"Mother Zhang, what you said is a bit too much. Our Lu family has never cheated on marriage. Second Master is sentimental, so he did something foolish. But you can rest assured that a concubine is still a concubine, and she is not worthy of the eldest lady's eyes."

"This matter cannot be brought to the attention of His Majesty. Lan Niang and the Second Master are husband and wife. Husband and wife are one. If one suffers, all suffer. If one prospers, all prosper."

Mother Zhang: "If Second Master knew this, we can't do this today."

"All of you should go out. The lady is going to give birth and cannot keep so many people."

"Mother Yan, take care of them and don't let anyone take a step forward..."

Mother Zhang turned and walked into the house.

At this time, Sun, who was watching the fun and didn't mind making things worse, said something.

"An old maid really gave her face and scolded my mother and my second brother. In my opinion, it was my second brother's wife who spoiled them. The servants in Lan Garden are so disrespectful and have no rules."

The old lady glared at Sun.

"Just shut up, you have no right to speak anywhere."

She turned to look at Lu Zhaowen, "Why don't you throw the sword away? You'd better pray that she's okay. If something really happens, I think you can't be an official anymore."

"How foolish! For a woman outside, you questioned the lady with a sword. Who taught you how to behave?"

Lu Zhaowen murmured, "Yuwei was covered in wounds. When I went there, her clothes were covered in blood. I heard her crying and talking, and I was so angry that I came to Lanyuan."

"I didn't expect Zhao Rulan to react so strongly."

Old Madam Lu was angry with Lu Zhaowen, but she didn't feel sorry for Zhao Rulan. Instead, she was worried that if Zhao Rulan divorced because of this, she would definitely take away all the dowry.

"Remember this clearly. Even if you like the woman outside, you are not allowed to divorce her."
