Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Du Lingzhi's tears suddenly flowed out, and she choked back her tears and replied, "Grandma, I was really hungry last night, so I ate a few pieces of water chestnut cakes!"

Mrs. Du was so angry that she raised her hand to slap her in the face, but when she saw how weak she looked, she had to give up.

She said sternly, "Come here, drag out all the maids serving the noble lady and beat them. Since you can't control her mouth, break their legs!"

Du Lingzhi hurriedly stopped her: "Grandma, please don't hit them. I wanted to eat it myself. It has nothing to do with them!"

Madam Du angrily scolded, "Shut up! You know, if you lose this child in your belly, not only will you gain nothing, but you might even bring trouble to the entire Dingxiang Marquisate. You idiot, what have I taught you?"

Du Lingzhi apologized guiltily: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I will never be greedy again. Please don't be angry, grandma!"

Madam Du gritted her teeth and said, "This matter cannot be let go. Lin Yiwan must be blamed for it!"

She went to the palace in person to complain to the emperor.

She cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, Lingzhi has realized her mistake. The Marquis's wife refused to see her, and she was so heartbroken last night that she even had a bleeding baby!"

Xiao Ling's expression changed. After all, this was his first child, so he actually cared a little.

He couldn't help but frown and said, "Why does she have to go through so much trouble? Isn't it better for her to just go to the palace and enjoy the proper care of the palace maids and the imperial physicians?"

Madam Du sighed helplessly, "Lingzhi feels guilty towards the Emperor. She wants to ask for forgiveness from the Marquis' wife and hopes that her unborn child will be blessed!"

She kept saying that she was thinking about the child, but in fact, she still wanted Xiao Ling to bring honor to the Dingxiang Marquis Mansion.

How could Xiao Ling not hear it? He didn't want to compromise.

He said in a cold voice, "Old Madam Du should know very well that there is no such thing as regret medicine in this world. She did something wrong, so how can she expect to be forgiven by others? She doesn't deserve it!"

Madam Du looked at him in astonishment: "Your Majesty!"

Xiao Ling interrupted impatiently: "I'm only saying this one last time. If she returns to the palace, she should immediately go find Concubine Chen and arrange a palace for her. If she refuses, she should never step out of Dingxiang Marquis's Mansion again!"

Old Madam Du felt aggrieved and uncomfortable, but she did not dare to confront Xiao Ling in person.

She could only agree sullenly: "Yes, I will let Lingzhi enter the palace when I return!"

She returned to Dingxiang Marquis Mansion in a panic, and saw Du Lingzhi coming to ask with anticipation, "Grandma? How is it? Is the Emperor willing to come and pick me up?"

Madam Du replied in embarrassment, "He refused. He also told you to go back alone. If you refuse, don't ever set foot outside the Dingxiang Marquis's Mansion again!"

Du Lingzhi froze all over. She couldn't understand why, even though she was pregnant with the royal heir, she couldn't get the respect she deserved?

However, Madam Du quickly persuaded herself to calm down. She gritted her teeth and said, "Since the emperor is ruthless, we are righteous. Lingzhi, you can enter the palace!"

She whispered a few words into Du Lingzhi's ear, and she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she almost couldn't stand.

She asked in a trembling voice, "Grandma, is it really okay to do this?"

Madam Du sneered, "Why not? You are a mother whose status depends on your child. The child in your belly will be your support in the future!"

Du Lingzhi clenched her fingers tightly and murmured after a long time: "But I'm still a little scared. If I'm found out, I'll die!"

Madam Du advised, "Listen to Grandmother. You are carrying the heir to the throne, who would dare to touch you? Just go ahead and do it. Make sure no one finds out about this. How could Grandmother lie to you?"

Du Lingzhi hesitated for a long time before nodding: "Okay, then I will go back to the palace!"

At dusk, a sedan chair brought Du Lingzhi to the palace.

Concubine Chen welcomed her and arranged her into the Jade Palace.

Du Lingzhi couldn't find any fault with her. After all, her attitude was excellent, and even the layout of the hall made her very satisfied.

Although she had not yet met the emperor, she gradually calmed down.

At night, when she was about to fall asleep, she heard a familiar voice calling in her ears: "Sister Lingzhi, wake up!"

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Jing Shuer standing in front of her.

She subconsciously asked, "Why is it you? Why are you still in the palace? Hasn't the emperor discovered you yet?"

Jing Shu'er smiled and said, "If I weren't here, who would help you gain a foothold in this harem? Thanks to me for coming up with that idea, otherwise, how could you live in this luxurious palace?"

Du Lingzhi said resentfully, "But because of your bad idea, the Emperor almost beat me to death. Fortunately, I was lucky. Do you know that I was bedridden for over a month?"

Jing Shu'er frowned. "If that hadn't happened, you would have froze to death in that tiny palace of Liuli Pavilion. Don't you understand the principle of suffering first and then happiness?"

Du Lingzhi didn't blame her anymore. After all, she had just returned to the palace and really needed help.

She whispered, "Sister Shu'er, are you here to help me? I hope the emperor can come to me. Do you have any ideas?"

Jing Shu'er waved at her: "Come closer!"

At night, a palace servant hurried to Xiao Ling to report: "Your Majesty, Miss Du is suddenly unwell. She has a severe stomachache. I hope you can go see her!"

Xiao Ling frowned and originally didn't want to care about it.

However, subconsciously, he was angry about the child in Du Lingzhi's belly.

That's his bloodline!

Thinking of this, he stood up and walked out.

When Du Lingzhi saw him, her face was full of joy.

She called out in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, are you here?"

Her voice was sweet and her slightly bulging belly instantly attracted Xiao Ling's attention.

He asked softly, "Is this my child you are pregnant with?"

Du Lingzhi nodded hurriedly. She mustered up the courage to speak: "Yes, Your Majesty, do you want to touch him?"

Xiao Ling's heart moved slightly. This was a very novel suggestion to him.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand, and Du Lingzhi grabbed it and touched her lower abdomen.

Xiao Ling originally wanted to shake it off, but he failed to do so.

Du Lingzhi is extremely strong!

The soft skin pressed against his palm, and he felt a slight throbbing.

He immediately asked, "Why is it moving?"

Du Lingzhi lowered her eyes and chuckled softly: "It's because he was greeting the emperor. He felt that the emperor came to visit him!"

Xiao Ling's expression relaxed instantly, and he said calmly, "Okay, since he wants you to come visit him, I'll come often!"

Du Lingzhi's face suddenly showed joy. She personally poured tea for Xiao Ling and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you rest in the Jade Palace today? Our child, even in the womb, needs your father's company!"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Xiao Ling's face. He actually didn't want to do it.

But before he could answer, Du Lingzhi was already stroking her belly with a smile and said, "Don't be sad, child. Your father is very busy with government affairs. It's already very good that he can come to visit you every day. Don't expect too much!"
