If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Duke Lu has three sons and two daughters. The Third Master Lu is a concubine's son. He is currently serving in the border defense army and is not in the capital.

In addition to Lu Heng and Lu Yan, two legitimate children, Mr. Lu also has Lu Yuan and two illegitimate daughters.

Next was Mr. Lu Er, who had no concubines and only had two sons with Mrs. Lu Er.

These people were actually familiar faces to Shen Sui'an, but she still pretended not to know them and was introduced to them one by one by Lu Yuan.

If the person is an elder, she would offer tea and accept the gift from the other party.

The others were all of the same generation. She prepared red hairpins for Lu Yan and other girls, and inkstones for the brothers from the second room.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Lu Yan curled her lips and her eyes flashed with disdain.

The gift Shen Suian gave her was actually the same as the one given to others. How could those two illegitimate children compare with her?

"Thank you, sister-in-law." The others pretended not to see Lu Yan's expression and bowed politely.

Shen Sui'an didn't want to pay any attention to Lu Yan, this ungrateful person.

In her previous life, whenever Lu Yan saw jewelry she liked in her room, she would ask to borrow it for a few days, but she never returned it to her.

Later, Lu Yan took the bracelet left to her by her biological mother, and she couldn't help but mention it to Lu Heng.

What she got in return was Lu Heng's impatient condemnation, who felt that she was too stingy as a sister-in-law. It was just a bracelet, but it was not worth mentioning.

She was so angry that she couldn't utter a word.

When Shen Sui'an thought about the disgusting things that happened to him in the past, his eyes darkened and his expression became a little listless.

Lu Yuan lowered his eyes to look at her and noticed the change in her mood.

What's going on here?

"Please invite the Second Young Master and Princess Guangning to serve tea." Mother Zheng's loud voice rang out.

Lu Yuan calmly withdrew his gaze and stood aside with Shen Suian to watch the ceremony.

Duke Lu and the old lady had a smile on their faces, which was completely different from the attitude they had when Shen Suian offered them tea just now.

Princess Guangning was the monarch and they were the subjects. Even when offering tea, they did not dare to ask Princess Guangning to kneel down.

But it did not affect their attitude towards Princess Guangning and Lu Heng at all.

The contrast is really strong.

Even the gifts given when meeting someone are of different weights.

Lu Yuan glanced sideways at his little wife again. Was she unhappy about this matter?

But Shen Sui'an's expression was calm at this time, and there was even a decent and gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

It seemed that the Lu family's enthusiastic attitude towards Princess Guangning had no effect on her at all.

When Lu Yan received the gift from Princess Guangning, she praised loudly, "The princess's sister-in-law is so noble and extraordinary that even the gift is so precious. I like it very much. I wish the princess' sister-in-law and my second brother a happy marriage and a son soon."

Princess Guangning was very pleased with it, and smiled, "Thank you for your good words, sister."

The eyes of others unconsciously swept over Shen Sui'an.

It was obvious that Lu Yan was deliberately trying to embarrass Shen Sui'an. As a new bride, I wonder if she would be sad to be treated differently in this way.

Shen Sui'an was speechless.

Sometimes she just couldn't understand Lu Yan's greed and petty advantage.

As the only legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, how could she be so short-sighted and stupid?

Maybe some people's temperament is innate.

"Grandfather, grandmother, the princess wants to move to the Duke's Mansion. We will not go back to the Princess's Mansion today." Lu Heng suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Lord Lu sat up straight and looked at Princess Guangning inquiringly, "Is this what Your Highness meant?"

Princess Guangning smiled and said, "Yes, my husband grew up in the Duke's Mansion since he was a child. He must be uncomfortable living with me in the Princess' Mansion. I also want to honor you two elders and my parents-in-law on my behalf."

These words were spoken with such sincerity that Mrs. Lu was so moved that she nodded her head. "Okay, it will be more lively if we live together."

The smile on the corner of Lord Lu's mouth faded a little, "Okay, okay."

Lu Yuan raised his eyelids and glanced in the direction of Duke Lu.

Everyone's attention was focused on Princess Guangning and Lu Heng. Shen Suian felt a little sore in his waist, so he could only force himself to wait patiently.

"Let's go back first." Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.

Shen Sui'an was surprised, "Is it possible?"

"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded, and walked forward to say to Duke Lu and the others: "Grandfather, grandmother, we will take our leave first."

Really... He didn't even give a tactful excuse, and his tone was harsh from the moment he spoke.

Lord Lu was silent for a moment, "After sending your wife back, come to the study."

Lu Heng's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Lu Yuan thoughtfully.

In the past, grandfather never let Lu Yuan go to the study.

Even because Lu Yuan was the commander of the Pacification Division, his grandfather was still very wary of him.

Lu Yuan naturally took Shen Suian's hand and left the upper room.

"She really has no manners at all, sister-in-law. She is your daughter-in-law, you have to discipline her well." Mrs. Lu curled her lips and turned to look at Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "I can't control it."

She had never considered Lu Yuan as her son, so why was she asked to take care of Lu Yuan's wife? She would be in a thankless position.

Madam Lu said, "Brother Heng, you should also take His Highness back to rest. He must have been very tired yesterday."

"Yes, grandmother." Lu Heng lowered his eyebrows, greeted her, and then accompanied Princess Guangning back to Zhiyuan Hall.

"Your Highness, this is our courtyard. It has been renovated before. If there is anything you need to add, just tell our servants to do it." Lu Heng said politely.

Princess Guangning took a quick look and although the courtyard was not as good as the princess's mansion, it was still pretty good.

"I'm not used to using other people's things. The palace maids will bring what I need to me later." Princess Guangning said with a smile.

She hooked Lu Heng's sleeve, tilted her head and smiled at him, "Prince Consort, are you in a bad mood?"

"Your Highness, don't think too much. I'm not in a bad mood." Lu Heng said.

"Is it okay for the prince consort to see Shen Suian every day when we live in the Duke's Mansion?" Princess Guangning looked naive and puzzled.

Lu Heng paused, and turned to look at her, "Princess, why did you mention someone else?"

"Is she someone else?" Princess Guangning giggled, with a tentative look in her eyes.

"Your Highness, my elder sister-in-law and I were only verbally engaged by our elders. We seldom had the chance to meet each other, and there was no romantic relationship between us. Please don't misunderstand." Lu Heng frowned, somewhat annoyed by Princess Guangning's repeated probing.

"I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?" Princess Guangning snorted.

She leaned on Lu Heng's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Prince Consort. Later... I will definitely plead for you in front of the emperor. Even if you can't join the cabinet, I can always give you a title."

Lu Heng had a cold expression. Even if he didn't become a royal consort, he would still have the hereditary title of the Duke's Mansion.

"I heard that Lu Yuan has two concubines, Prince Consort, what about you? You said that you had no romantic feelings with your ex-fiancee, but do you have any affairs with others?" Princess Guangning asked with a smile.

"Something like a sweetheart or a maidservant?"

"No." Lu Heng said firmly.

Princess Guangning was satisfied and said, "I believe you."
