The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Cai He was in no mood to chat with him. She stared at the flowers in the corridor absentmindedly. She actually missed her days in Kyoto. If her master was unhappy in the future, what should she do? Should she give him gentle advice or tell him the truth?

Liuzi opened his eyes slightly and said, "Sister Caihe, you are not?"

Cai He smiled and said, "What do you mean? I don't understand what you are saying."

Liuzi was a little angry. "Then just pretend I never said anything. Our master has always been upright and honest, and he always keeps his word." Besides, for someone of their master's status, still a virgin at almost twenty, and still without even a concubine, it was extremely rare. Qiu Fengyuan's concubine was just a concubine who was not worthy of being seen in public, so there was no need to worry about her at all.

Cai He's expression turned cold. "Sixth Son, do you also think it's my master's fault?"

Liuzi naturally refused to admit it, "Don't spit blood at me."

Cai He sneered, "Liu Zi, remember what you said today. All men are really bad!"

"You, you..." Liu Zi was so angry that he jumped up and down. "You are so unreasonable. What did we men do to you?"

Cai He stood up and left. "I don't want to waste my time talking to you, ugh!"

Liuzi was so angry that he was spinning around on the spot. Worried that his master was not far away, he didn't dare to chase after him. He had to vent his anger on the iron fork.

Hearing the clanging and clattering sounds behind her, Caihe sat down on the porch, her eyes fixed on the window of the main room.

The two of them had a quarrel, but the atmosphere between the masters was very calm.

Pretending not to notice someone's ugly expression, Lu Yun casually handed the literacy booklet she had written to Zhou Boli. "I had nothing better to do, so I made a booklet to help people learn to read. Can you help me take a look at it?"

Zhou Boli didn't say anything. He took the booklet, flipped through it, and nodded. "Not bad, very practical. What do you plan to use it for?"

Lu Yun took the booklet back and said, "Zhou Boli, people are very intelligent. If we want South Vietnam to develop better, we must fully tap into the wisdom and talents of the people. I plan to use Zhuangzi as a pilot to promote this booklet. Learning simple and common characters is only the first step. Next, I plan to teach them arithmetic, agronomy, carpentry, and medicine."

Zhou Boli asked himself, "Why do you do this?"

Lu Yun smiled and said, "I want to cultivate a group of useful people in Zhuangzi, starting with literacy, and then slowly learning some practical knowledge. As more people learn, there will always be people who will have different ideas and create better things."

Zhou Boli thought thoughtfully, "Ayun, you can teach these in school."

Lu Yun did not refuse his suggestion. "Yeah."

In fact, she wants to teach more people that the wisdom of life is always in the hands of the people and the future belongs to everyone.

The room fell silent again.

Lu Yun slowly finished a cup of tea and turned to look at him. "Zhou Boli, are you okay today?"

Zhou Boli's blue-gray eyes moved. "Ayun, I'm not very busy recently."

Lu Yun held the cup in her hand, her fingers gradually tightened and loosened, and she gave him a soft smile. "Since you're not too busy, take a break. I'm tired of being so busy every day."

Zhou Boli hummed, his eyes falling on her abdomen. "The little one hasn't been as active as before lately."

Lu Yun laughed and said, "Don't say that now. If Mother Chen hears it, she'll be nervous again."

Knowing he had spoken out of turn, Zhou Boli rarely showed any embarrassment. "I mean, it's a girl."

Lu Yun placed her hand on her abdomen, feeling the movement inside. "It's good to be a girl." Suddenly, her stomach moved. Lu Yun said in surprise, "She just responded to me. Did she hear me?"

Zhou Boli immediately placed his hand on his wife's hand, looking nervous, "Is it here?" As soon as he finished speaking, his hand was pushed again, and he felt the pulse of life in his hand.

Zhou Boli used this posture to hold his wife in his arms, his head resting lightly on the shoulder of the person in front of him, like a child who had made a mistake. "Ayun, life is still long, can you give me a little more time?"

Lu Yun opened her mouth and found that she could not make any sound.

Zhou Boli, who received no response, pressed hard against the shoulders of the person in his arms, unable to tolerate even the slightest gap between them.

The next day, Lu Yun discovered that there were two more maids in Anlan Courtyard. They were twins. The elder sister with the mole on her eyebrow was named Baoqin, and the younger sister was named Guanhe.

Lu Yun called the two of them over and asked, "Do you know Kung Fu?"

Baoqin knelt down and said, "I am here to protect the princess by the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lu Yun curled her lips. "I'm in the yard every day, how could there be any danger? What do you do? What can you do?"

Guan He smiled apologetically, "The servants used to work elsewhere. We can do a little bit of sewing except needlework."

Lu Yun just asked casually, waved her hand to let the two go, and indicated Caihe to take charge of the arrangements.

Lu Ling was carrying Yun Ge'er to visit her pregnant cousin. Unexpectedly, she ran into a strange girl on the road. Before she could think about it, Cai He welcomed her into the house.

After the two of them teased Yun Ge'er for a while, Lu Ling asked the nurse to take her son away. Her expression turned serious, "Did someone enter the Crown Prince's room?"

Lu Yun shifted her hips and nodded obediently. "Someone gave it to me. It's been here for a month."

Lu Ling asked directly, "Can it be used?"

Lu Yun found it hard to accept that her always gentle eldest cousin could be so frank and honest. She shook her head and said, "Not yet."

Lu Ling was silent for a moment, suddenly unsure where to begin. From a profit-oriented perspective, she should have used the fact that most men had three or four wives to persuade her cousin to accept reality, but that was too cruel and she couldn't bring herself to speak.

Lu Yun actually wanted to ask her eldest cousin whether she felt that life was difficult when she was in the Third Prince's Mansion, but then she thought, is there any need to ask?

The two sisters were thinking about their own things, and finally they sighed together.

Lu Yun laughed. "Big cousin, Miss Qiman is doing fine. You don't have to worry about me. I'm a princess appointed by the imperial court, and I'm married by imperial decree. You know my abilities, don't you?"

Lu Ling also smiled. "I know your ability. The child is the most important thing now. Did the doctor tell me whether it's a boy or a girl?"

"They all hope I'll give birth to a boy." Lu Yun said helplessly, "I'm the only one who wants to give birth to a girl."

Lu Ling chuckled. "Boys and girls are both fine. What you say doesn't count. I wanted a girl before, but then I thought..." She paused. "In this world, men have it easier."

Quickly ending the topic, Lu Ling picked up a few interesting stories about Yun Ge'er rolling over and learning to crawl. Lu Yun's eyes sparkled as she began to look forward to the little one in her belly.

Before leaving, Lu Ling held Yun Ge'er in her arms and kissed him a few times, smiling gently. "I look at this little guy now, and when I think about watching him grow up little by little, talk and walk, I feel that my life is worth it."

He still gave some advice at the end, and Lu Yun understood.

Lu Ling was in a very low mood. Zhao Qingyu put down his brush, walked slowly to the side and sat down, then softly called out, "Madam?"

Lu Ling glanced at her husband and asked, "You want to take a concubine too?"

Zhao Qingyu coughed a few times unexpectedly, firmly grasped his wife's soft hand, and solemnly promised, "Zhao, having only one wife in this life is enough."
