I just want to be a princess, no, you want to be a queen

"Yang'er!" Seeing his sister hesitate to speak, Lu Mingyuan asked, "Has the adopted child been chosen?"

"no!"

Since they were all in the capital, the eldest sister must have known Lu Mingfeng's character, but she didn't know enough based on the dowry. Seeing that the eldest sister was not in good health, Lu Mingyang decided to get to know her better before speaking to Lu Mingfeng.

"Eldest sister, my cousin has come to the capital, and my grandmother asked him to bring me a lot of dowry. Now the Chengyang Marquis's Mansion is penniless. I want to ask you, would you like to leave some of the dowry you gave me for our future brothers?"

"Why give it to him? That's mother's dowry, meant for you and my third brother. I didn't even give Qin'er to him." Lu Mingyuan answered bluntly, "If he's a decent person, he won't covet our parents' fortune. If he's a bad person, even if you give him mountains of gold and silver, he won't be grateful to you in the slightest."

Lu Mingyang felt relieved. "You often said that our family is closely connected, and we share the same fate. I thought you would want me to leave some for him to revive the Chengyang Marquis Mansion."

Just like my mother, even though my uncle treated her so badly, she still had to support him.

Lu Mingyuan said, "That being said, it's difficult for a woman to survive in the world. You have to take care of yourself first so that you can have the energy to help your family, including me."

Lu Mingyang smiled and imitated her tone, saying, "That being said, I feel that even when you weren't taking care of yourself, you were already doing your best to help me, just like the mother I imagined."

Lu Mingyuan also laughed, but said with disdain: "I just gave you a few boxes of dowry, why are you such a lackey?"

"I didn't do it for the dowry. It was because you were willing to let me stay in your room that day," watching you kill your husband with your own hands. I was scared at the time, but later I was deeply moved.

What kind of trust would one have to entrust their life to someone they had only known for a few months? At that moment, Lu Mingyang was truly willing to believe that there were blood relatives in this world.

Even if we are thousands of miles apart, we will still meet and trust each other without reservation.

At dinner, with Lu Mingyang's company, Lu Mingyuan ate a little more, but his appetite was still much less than that of an average person.

The little nephew, who had slept for an afternoon, was full of energy, and Lu Mingyang happily played with him.

Lu Mingyuan looked at the two of them, a little dazed. "Yang'er, you must spend more time with Yin'er in the future. In this world, I feel that only you can teach him well and raise him to be a man like his father, an upright man."

"I'm not as good as my elder sister. I still need you to teach me!" Lu Mingyang held the chubby baby high up. The baby giggled and blew bubbles from its mouth. It was so cute.

"Sit down!" Lu Mingyuan said of Lu Mingqin, "I'm afraid I don't have the ability to find a husband for Qin'er right now. After your wedding, while Prince Ningyuan is still alive, find a husband for Qin'er as soon as possible."

"Should I find one?" Lu Mingyang was hesitant. "It's not that I don't want to find one for her. I've thought about it. I just think she's too proud. If I don't find one for her, she'll hold a grudge against me."

"I will persuade her about this matter." Lu Mingyuan continued to instruct: "I have prepared a dowry for her. As her sister, you should also prepare one for her. Although Concubine Liu made you suffer for fifteen years, she also saved your life."

"understood!"

The two of them talked a lot. When they were sitting together, Lu Mingyang didn't think it was anything special, but when he left Yanchu Pavilion, he felt a chill on his back, as if it was a last will and testament.

Seeing that no one was around, Lu Mingyang pulled Zhu Xin, who had been escorting her, to the wall and asked, "How is your health, elder sister?"

A trace of panic flashed across Zhu Xin's eyes, but he suppressed it, "It's nothing, it will be fine."

But if it was just a minor illness, who would say something like "it will be fine" for no reason? Lu Mingyang was shocked: "If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Qin Xin."

After saying this, he was about to return to Yanchu Pavilion.

"She doesn't know. She won't let me tell you." Zhu Xin held onto Lu Mingyang's hand and sobbed. "She's been going out early and coming back late since her confinement, which has left her with a chronic illness. Later, she became overly worried. Doctor Leng said she might not survive."

What do you mean you can't make it?

"Leng Lingfeng, Leng Lingfeng..."

Lu Mingyang ran into Tianyi Inn and knocked on the door. The door was bolted. In desperation, she pushed open the window and jumped in.

Leng Lingfeng was bathing when he suddenly saw Lu Mingyang staring at him, getting closer and closer. He was so frightened that he tried to grab the clothes on the screen, but in his panic, the clothes fell directly into the tub.

"Leng Lingfeng, why didn't you tell me about my elder sister's condition?"

Lu Mingyang leaned his hands on the bathtub and glared at the man soaking in the water with gritted teeth.

Leng Lingfeng hugged his clothes, curled up his body, and slowly sank into the water until the water level submerged his mouth and he could no longer shrink. Only then did he look at the girl in front of him as if begging for mercy.

"Can you wait until I get dressed?"

A dense mist rose up, carrying a strong medicinal aroma, rushing straight into his eyes. Lu Mingyang suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly stepped out from behind the screen.

Leng Lingfeng looked at the wet clothes and tapped the screen lightly: "Clothes, in the closet, help me get one."

"Oh!"

Lu Mingyang half-opened the wardrobe, pulled out a piece of clothing, threw it behind the screen, and sat on the couch with his back to waiting for someone.

Not long after, Leng Lingfeng came out dressed. He wanted to give her a lecture to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, but he noticed that the girl in front of him was crying.

"Hey, I don't blame you." Leng Lingfeng panicked.

Lu Mingyang wiped away his tears and looked at Leng Lingfeng: "Where is your master? Go find him and save my elder sister!"

So it was about this matter. Leng Lingfeng sighed: "My master is a doctor, not a god. She herself has no desire to live. What can others do?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Lu Mingyang didn't believe it. "My elder sister said she would raise Yin'er. How could she not want to live?"

Leng Lingfeng didn't say anything, but just waited silently for the girl in front of him to calm down, and then held out his sleeves.

Lu Mingyang wiped his nose and pushed him away angrily. "You didn't even tell me whether we're friends or not. How could you tell a patient? Do you have any medical ethics?"

"I didn't want to tell her that I was talking to Zhuxin, but she overheard me. She said you're busy lately and she didn't want to distract you. When the time is right, she'll tell you in person."

Leng Lingfeng apologized: "Please don't be angry, okay? You also know that your elder sister is very concerned. I have to respect the patient's wishes."

"Is there really no other way?" She refused to give up.

"Unless she wants to live, no one can help her." Leng Lingfeng explained, "Whether a person truly wants to live or not is not controlled by their thoughts, nor can others persuade them. It is a power that truly bursts out from the heart."

What is true power?

Lu Mingyang walked out of the Tianyi Inn, seemingly understanding something. The streets were filled with people, some crying, some laughing, some angry, and some complaining.

She thought of a phrase - deep love does not lead to longevity, which probably refers to people like the eldest sister!

As a father, as a son, as a fellow countryman, you have never done anything bad for yourself.
