Mrs. Dou even wanted to kill Dou Miaojin at this time. High hopes were placed on the eldest son, and Dou Mengshen had always been very competitive. He could take on the main responsibility for the Dou family's affairs, and even Dou Yi had to rely on him for many things in the court.

Such an outstanding son is now gone because of Dou Miaojin.

"You shameless fool, do you still want to seduce Duke Dingguo?" Madam Dou scolded angrily.

Dou Miaojin sat down on the chair, very obedient, "If mom doesn't let me go, I won't go."

Lu Changyuan came here regarding the Rouge Sword. He urgently needed to contact Dou Miaojin and Hong Ran, and he was getting impatient waiting outside, so he rushed in here. How could Dou Yi let Lu Changyuan know that his son was injured? Once he made the connection, he would suspect that he was among the people who broke into the military camp today.

"First, let's see what Duke Dingguo is here for!" Dou Yi impatiently stopped the mother and daughter from arguing.

Madam Dou had no choice but to let Dou Miaojin go to see Lu Changyuan, but Dou Miaojin said, "Mother, he is my brother-in-law after all. How can I be alone with him in the middle of the night? If it gets out, it will ruin the reputation of the Dou family."

Dou Yi glared at Madam Dou fiercely and scolded Dou Miaojin, "If you still want to live a good life, don't do these evil things. Your elder brother has sacrificed his life for you today."

Dou Miaojin decided to quit while she was ahead and went to see Lu Changyuan.

Lu Changyuan was getting impatient waiting, and when he saw Dou Miaojin coming out, he asked, "What happened in the mansion? Why are you still awake in the middle of the night, and all the lights in the yard are on?"

"Hearing that the Duke had arrived, my father and mother both woke up. My eldest brother was also awakened. They were all very anxious as they didn't know what had happened to the Duke, so they asked me to come out and ask."

Lu Changyuan did not doubt him, "It is an important matter, why not ask your father-in-law and your eldest brother to come out and discuss it together."

If it was just a Xiliang spy who was abducted, it wouldn't have a big impact on Lu Changyuan. The emperor would have been able to suppress it if he wanted to, and at most he would have been charged with a minor offense. But now that the spy was the prince of Xiliang, his guilt was not small.

Firstly, these two people have been in his army for such a long time, and he didn't even know their identities. Secondly, they were lost in his army.

Dou Miaojin thought of Dou Mengshen's injuries, how could she dare to let anyone out, she asked, "What happened? If it's something in the martial arts world, I'm afraid my father and elder brother can't help the Duke."

Lu Changyuan laughed at himself, "I was desperate and tried all kinds of methods. Just now, I was in the army and Yanzhijian kidnapped a Xiliang spy that I brought back from Weizhou."

Dou Miaojin suddenly understood. Thinking of their previous intimacy, her cheeks flushed and her voice became softer. "Did the Duke leave in such a hurry because of this?"

"Hmm!" Lu Changyuan guessed what she was thinking and felt a little uncomfortable.

Dou Miaojin's expression became serious. "Does that Xiliang spy have some extraordinary identity?"

Lu Changyuan couldn't help but admire Dou Miaojin. She was very perceptive. He liked dealing with smart people. "I just found out that he is the prince of Xiliang."

"Ah!" Dou Miaojin exclaimed in disbelief, "Didn't the Duke find out his identity before?"

Lu Changyuan's face showed a bit of embarrassment. "There is no rule of torture or abuse of prisoners in the army. Besides, I wanted to keep them alive, so I was polite to them. I didn't expect that Yanzhijian would dare to snatch people from a million soldiers."

And be able to get away with it.

Dou Miaojin is currently a person who has a close relationship with Yanzhijian, so she naturally has to speak for Yanzhijian, "Duke, don't blame Yanzhijian, she was probably entrusted by someone. As long as we block all the roads leading to Xiliang, we can catch Tuoba Yu again sooner or later.

As for Rouge Sword, I will try to contact Miss Hongran tomorrow morning and see if I can ask her to stop working for Xiliang for the Duke's sake."

This was exactly why Lu Changyuan came here. If possible, he would not want to fight against Yanzhi Jian. "That's great."

He stood up, looked at Dou Miaojin and said, "I'm going to stay at Tianshuijing Lane tonight, come with me!"

Dou Miaojin stepped forward shyly. After a long while, she shook her head and said, "Miao'er also wants to be with Brother Changyuan all the time, but as a daughter of the Dou family, Miao'er cannot be a concubine? Mother is already dissatisfied with me. Duke, I'm afraid Miao'er will not be able to accompany you in the future."

After she finished speaking, she burst into tears and looked at Lu Changyuan with eager eyes. He had never seen such deep affection in anyone's eyes.

Although Dou Jinzhao was his wife and they were childhood sweethearts, she was calm and steady, never agitated. Perhaps what she valued was her status as the Duke's wife.

Lu Changyuan raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb, "Miao Jin, I don't want to treat you as a mistress. I promised you that I would marry you, and I won't break my promise."

Dou Miaojin shook her head, "Brother Changyuan, please don't make things awkward between you and the Dou family because of me. I know that you, Dad, and Big Brother are all planning big things. If we cause a rift between the two families, Miaoer will be guilty of a heinous crime.

As for my sister, listen to me, no woman would like to see her husband marry another woman. What's more, my sister and I are twins."

Lu Changyuan's eyes were dim, "As for Jin Zhao, I will explain the truth to her. As for my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will find a way to get them to agree."

Dou Miaojin was a little stubborn today, "Brother Changyuan, you should just forget about me. I don't want to hurt their feelings because of you and me, especially my sister. I know my sister has you in her heart, and I don't want to hurt the relationship with her."

"Miao Jin, are you willing to separate from me? We are already like this, and you can't marry someone else. Didn't you say before that you couldn't live without me?" Lu Changyuan lowered his eyes and looked into her eyes, as if he wanted to see clearly whether she was lying.

Dou Miaojin opened her watery almond eyes and looked at him without avoiding or yielding. "If I break up with you, if I want to marry someone else, I have no intention of living."

Miao Jin loves him more than her own life, and Lu Changyuan can't help but be moved, "Don't worry, I will find a way."

He lifted the strands of hair on Dou Miaojin's temples and saw a small black spot at the base of her ear, which looked like a birthmark. He didn't pay much attention to it. After all, most people couldn't see it. He scratched it gently with his fingers, but Dou Miaojin acted as if she was facing a formidable enemy and pushed him away.

Lu Changyuan frowned, "What's wrong?"

Dou Miaojin also realized that her reaction was a bit exaggerated. She covered her ears with her hands, looking very unnatural. "It's nothing, just a little itchy. Brother Changyuan, don't touch me here."

She just acted coquettishly and made jokes, and she got away with it.

Dou Miaojin breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject, "Brother Changyuan, do you have any good ideas?"

"Do you have any good idea?" Lu Changyuan saw what she was thinking.

Dou Miaojin couldn't care about anything else at this moment. She looked very embarrassed. "Now, the only plan is to see if the Queen is willing to help me, just for... that prescription. I don't mean to take credit for myself, I just don't want to be separated from you."
