The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room froze.

Lin Wanqing smiled lightly and slowly stood up.

"Lu Ming, Qiao'er is just a concubine. What qualifications does she have to claim to be kind? She has no respect for her elders and has entered the mistress's residence without being summoned. Isn't this an offense?"

"Qiao'er sent you food out of good intentions while pregnant, and you're actually not satisfied?"

Lu Ming roared.

Lin Wanqing sneered.

"As the Princess of Chang'an County, I am responsible for maintaining order in the mansion? Can't I punish even a concubine?"

As Lin Wanqing spoke, his eyes swept over the servants.

Lu Ming was shocked.

Old Madam Lu also looked at Lin Wanqing in shock.

Lin Wanqing met her gaze and said frankly, "Mother, I know I'm being harsh, but it's also for the Lu family's reputation and rules."

"Without rules, there will be no order. As the princess, I have the responsibility to uphold the rules of the palace."

As soon as she said this, the servants in the room lowered their heads and became secretly alert.

Madam Lu frowned, but ultimately said nothing.

"You!" Lu Ming was furious. He looked at Lu Shengyuan, "Father, look at her!"

Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing with serious eyes.

Lin Wanqing looked back calmly.

"Since you've already punished me, let's leave it at that." Lu Shengyuan retracted his gaze and said calmly, "If there's a next time, please report back first."

This is to protect the Lin family!

Lu Ming almost vomited blood.

Lu Shengyuan looked at Lu Ming again.

"As a descendant, you're being disrespectful to your elders. Is this how they usually teach you manners?"

Lu Ming's face turned pale and his knees softened involuntarily.

He almost wanted to kneel down, but forced himself to keep his body steady, his eyes full of disbelief and resentment.

"Father, I am just..."

He wanted to defend himself, but found himself at a loss for words and unable to find a suitable reason to refute.

Lu Shengyuan didn't give him a chance, but just waved his hand gently, signaling him to step back.

Lin Wanqing raised her lips to a faint smile, "Thank you for your understanding, husband."

Lin Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Ming.

In my previous life, Lu Ming and the others had given me a lot of cold looks.

Now, with this identity, he can make Lu Ming speechless.

"Well, today, as the heir, you should follow the family rules and offer a cup of tea to me, the new mistress, as a sign of respect and obedience."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand slightly, signaling the maid beside her to serve her some fragrant tea.

Lu Ming's face turned pale and his fists were clenched.

Anger was boiling in his chest, but due to his father's authority and the strict family rules, he did not dare to resist rashly.

A struggle flashed in his eyes, and finally he slowly bent his knees.

He knelt in front of Lin Wanqing and took the teacup with trembling hands, his movements stiff and humiliating.

"Mother, please have some tea."

Lu Ming's voice was low and hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Lin Wanqing nodded slightly, gently took the teacup and took a sip.

Then she gently placed the teacup back on the tray.

"Get up, and remember to behave yourself from now on."

Lu Ming stood up, looking a little embarrassed.

Lin Wanqing turned to Old Madam Lu and said gently, "Mother, there are many affairs in the mansion, and I still need to familiarize myself with them one by one. If there is anything inappropriate, please give me more guidance."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was extremely satisfied.

I originally thought it was a scandal that the grandson's daughter-in-law became the daughter-in-law.

Now it seems that Lin Wanqing's methods may be able to manage the Lu Mansion well.

Old Madam Lu patted the back of Lin Wanqing's hand.

"Good boy, I feel more at ease with you around."

Lu Ming stood aside with a complicated expression.

He looked at Lin Wanqing deeply, then turned and left.

Madam Lu looked at his back and sighed.

"Ming'er, he's still too young and impulsive."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing just smiled faintly and said nothing more.

As the night deepened, moonlight filtered through the window lattices, casting patches of light into the house.

Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing sat opposite each other, the flickering candlelight reflecting their different expressions.

"Although your actions today are to uphold family rules, using me to anger Lu Ming is unwise. Family harmony is the only long-term solution."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing curled up the corner of his mouth into a faint smile.

"Husband, you are wrong. I am not trying to anger him. To me, he is already a thing of the past. What I am doing today is just to establish my authority and to give myself a fresh start."

Lu Shengyuan looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Under the candlelight, Lu Shengyuan's outline appeared particularly soft.

"I know you're having a lot of hard times. If you regret it now, there's still time to turn things around."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing shook his head slightly, his eyes as firm as a rock.

"I have never had any regrets about marrying you."

Lu Shengyuan was stunned when he heard this and looked at Lin Wanqing intently.

After a moment of silence, he sighed softly, stood up and walked towards Lin Wanqing.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will definitely protect you."

Lin Wanqing looked up and met his deep eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Thank you."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the room became particularly warm and peaceful at this moment.

The moonlight was like water, quietly sprinkling on the two of them, as if covering this moment with a layer of soft silver gauze.

Lu Shengyuan reached out and gently held Lin Wanqing's hand, and the two walked side by side into the inner room.

"It's getting late, go to bed early."

Lin Wanqing nodded slightly, snuggled up to Lu Shengyuan, and walked towards the bed.

"From now on, you sleep in the inner room, and I sleep in the outer room."

Lin Wanqing found Lu Shengyuan's calm expression a little funny.

Although Lu Shengyuan pretended to be calm.

The ears are quite red.

"Husband, since you and I are husband and wife, we should sleep on the same bed."

Lin Wanqing spoke softly, reaching out to untie her belt.

Seeing this, Lu Shengyuan quickly turned around, his voice a little hoarse.

"You...rest first, I still have some official business to attend to."

Lu Shengyuan's face turned red.

Is this woman really a lady from a noble family?

After saying that, he hurried out of the inner room, leaving Lin Wanqing standing alone by the bed with a faint smile on his lips.

"Heh, this Lu Shengyuan is quite interesting."

She shook her head and lay down to rest alone.

Lu Shengyuan stood in front of the desk in the outer room, his heart surging with emotions that could not be calmed for a long time.

How can I let a sickly person like me drag down a beautiful woman?

That night, both of them had their own agenda, yet both felt an unprecedented peace and contentment.

The next morning, Lin Wanqing got up early and ordered people to prepare a sumptuous breakfast.

When Lu Shengyuan walked into the dining room, he saw a table full of delicious food, emitting an enticing aroma.

"Wanqing, this..."

"Husband, since you and I are husband and wife, we should eat together."

Lin Wanqing spoke with a smile, interrupting Lu Shengyuan's doubts.

When Lu Shengyuan heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He walked to the table and sat down, enjoying breakfast with Lin Wanqing.

After the meal, Lin Wanqing ordered people to clear away the dishes and looked at Lu Shengyuan.

"Husband, why don't I feed you?"

"Need not."

When Lu Shengyuan heard this, his face changed slightly and he quickly refused.

Just kidding, although I am not in good health, my hands are still useful.

Seeing Lu Shengyuan's nervous look, Lin Wanqing stopped teasing him.
