My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

Four years ago, if Wen Qiqi had not considered the overall situation and thought carefully from the perspective of the Empress Dowager, he and his fourteenth brother would have been on the verge of a fight and had a complete falling out. How could they be sitting here playing chess and chatting happily today?

But all these decisions made her suffer alone.

After losing her father and five brothers, General Ye only left her a blood-stained purse.

However, she gave up for the sake of herself and her fourteenth brother, and did not even give herself time to be sad, and hastily married Lu Zhanyao.

I thought that Qiqi married a mere sixth-rank civil servant and that at least she would be able to live a peaceful and harmonious life.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, news came from the Lu Mansion that Wen Qiqi had a miscarriage.

However, Lu Zhanyao actually brought back a son and a maid named Aunt Mei from his hometown.

Only then did everyone realize that Lu Zhanyao was actually the same as Cheng Kuo's.

At that time, the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince both felt sorry for Wen Qiqi and wanted to tear Lu Zhanyao apart with their own hands. However, in ancient times, women followed their husbands wherever they went. Moreover, Wen Qiqi was injured after her miscarriage and could no longer have her own children...

She chose to endure and treated the son of Lu Zhanyao and the maid as her own.

What can outsiders do except feel sorry for him?

Four years have passed. Standing in front of the Thirteenth Prince, Wen Qiqi's appearance has not changed at all. Even though she is dressed in simple and elegant clothes, she still cannot hide her extraordinary and refined temperament! However, her eyes no longer have the romantic smile they once had. She looks at the Thirteenth Prince with a distant and cold look.

Does she still blame herself?

Or has he let go of everything? Just like Lu Zhanyao said, he doesn't even want to mention it...

"Thank you, Lord Thirteen, for your concern. Qiqi is doing well."

Wen Qiqi finally opened her red lips, smiled faintly, and spoke calmly.

She seemed to have forgotten the past...

The Thirteenth Prince was stunned for a long time, until the Fourteenth Prince came out again, pointed at the sun above his head and said, "It's so hot outside, why don't you let Qiqi come in for a cup of tea?"

The Thirteenth Prince came back to his senses and said to Wen Qiqi: "You are always afraid of heat, come in quickly."

They still treated Qiqi as their treasure, and the undisguised preference and concern for her were all written on the faces of the two princes.

Lu Zhanyao was furious in his heart, but facing the two princes whose status was far higher than his, he had to be polite and thank them repeatedly.

Several people entered the main hall of the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion and took their seats.

The best Dongting Biluo was served in a delicate silver cup...

"Qiqi, try this tea. It was your favorite in the past."

The Thirteenth Prince personally picked up the silver cup and handed it to Qiqi.

Lu Zhanyao looked at Wen Qiqi.

Of course Wen Qiqi couldn't take the tea handed to her by the Thirteenth Prince and drink it.

Otherwise, as her husband, wouldn't I lose face?

The hint of warning in his eyes made the Fourteenth Prince frown suddenly.

"Your stomach isn't feeling well today, so you should drink less tea."

He pretended to be considerate, pushed the silver cup away, and then smiled gently at Wen Qiqi: "Go back to Huifu later, I will personally make you some stomach-nourishing soup, and your stomach pain will no longer be felt after drinking it."

Wen Qiqi nodded.

She was not giving face to Lu Zhanyao, but she really didn't want to accept any more care from the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince.

When it comes to acting, the Lu family father and son are talented.

She has been married to the Lu family for so many years, but she still has no idea what kind of soup Lu Zhanyao will cook.

"Master Lu!"

The Fourteenth Prince has always been like this. He doesn't care at all what kind of Mrs. Lu Wen Qiqi is now!

In his opinion, Lu Zhanyao is not even worthy of carrying Wen Qiqi's shoes!

It would be fine if he was honest. No matter her status, as long as it was Wen Qiqi's choice, Thirteenth Brother and I would sincerely bless her.

But Lu Zhanyao had concealed the fact that he was married from Qiqi for such a long time. Just based on this fact, the Fourteenth Prince was full of prejudice against this mere sixth-rank censor and would not take him seriously at all.

"From what you said, Wen Qiqi developed stomach problems during the four years she was in the Lu Mansion? Could it be that you, the Lu Mansion, didn't take good care of her? She used to be in good health and didn't have any stomach problems at all!"

The Fourteenth Prince has always been so upright and is notoriously difficult to approach.

Lu Zhanyao knew what was going on and smiled modestly, "I am very grateful to the Fourteenth Prince for caring about my wife. However, it is normal for this person to have stomach problems since he eats whole grains. I will take good care of my wife, so I won't bother the Fourteenth Prince to worry about her."

"That's the best!"

The Fourteenth Prince looked at him coldly: "Although Wen Qiqi's brothers are no longer in this world, Thirteenth Brother and I can treat her like brothers. If anyone dares to let Wen Qiqi suffer the slightest injustice, this prince will definitely not let them off easily!"

What he said is true.

In her previous life, Wen Qiqi had never told anyone about her situation in the Lu Mansion...

When she occasionally went to the palace to see the Empress Dowager, she would only speak well of her husband Lu Zhanyao and desperately fight for opportunities for her adopted son Lu Xingcheng.

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, Qiqi gradually changed.

She became like those noble ladies in Kyoto, only thinking of using her love to exchange for a promising career, wealth and glory.

Wen Qiqi had many grievances, but she never told anyone.

Not to mention the Empress Dowager and the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes, even his own mother's family didn't know about it!

The only time she asked to see the Thirteenth Prince was because of her unrequited love for Lu Shengshi!

When the Thirteenth Prince saw her at that time, he was so happy that he could not express it in words. But when Wen Qiqi started to propose matchmaking to her sister-in-law Lu Shengshi, the Thirteenth Prince was very unhappy!

In the eyes of the Thirteenth Prince, Wen Qiqi did not choose him back then, but instead pushed her own younger sister-in-law in front of him, which was undoubtedly a humiliation to him!

How could he know that Lu Shengshi cried, made a fuss, and even tried to hang herself in the Lu residence, while Lu's mother cried and screamed, forcing Wen Qiqi to have no way out!

The Thirteenth Prince angrily rejected Wen Qiqi and warned her not to come to his house again!

Wen Qiqi was helpless. It was the birthday of the Fourteenth Prince's sister, the Sixth Princess, and she invited ladies from all the mansions to the princess's mansion to celebrate.

After failing to marry the Thirteenth Prince, Lu Shengshi set her sights on the Fourteenth Prince and desperately begged Wen Qiqi to take her to attend the Sixth Princess' birthday.

At that time, Wen Qiqi really didn't know that Lu Shengshi would be so courageous!

She thought that after being rejected by the Thirteenth Prince, Lu Shengshi would know her own worth. Even if she wanted to attend the Sixth Princess' birthday, she was only thinking of looking for a rich young man of equal status.

But she was wrong!

What the Lu brothers and sisters lack the least is ambition!

That day, Lu Shengshi found the right opportunity. While the Fourteenth Prince was in a bad mood and went back to his room to rest alone, he quietly followed him in!

The prince was drunk at the time, lying on the bed, and asked the "girl" who came in for a bowl of sobering soup...

Unexpectedly, Lu Shengshi said nothing and handed the drugged hangover soup to the Fourteenth Prince!

The prince drank it faintly, and then he couldn't control his emotions and held her in his arms...
