Then he thought of something and his eyes turned cold.

He called Xuanying over and whispered some instructions to him. Xuanying then left.

Lu Jiangnian looked into the distance in the direction of the capital with a bloodthirsty expression.

Since someone set a trap for him, how could he not fight back?

-

In the Second Prince's Mansion, the Second Prince's wife's belly is already showing.

After she married the second prince, her life was quite comfortable. Although the second prince had other women, she was the one he cared about the most.

They are of one mind as husband and wife, and the Second Prince has never hidden any important matters from her. This shows how important she is in the Second Prince's heart.

The other women were just playthings for the Second Prince to kill time when he had nothing to do.

"Is His Highness back?"

Night fell, and there was still no sign of the Second Prince.

The maid raised her eyes cautiously and said, "Originally, His Highness wanted to come over to see you, but Concubine Liu sent someone to stop him, saying that he had a stomachache, so His Highness went there first."

The Second Prince's wife paused as she stroked her belly, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.

The maidservant lowered her head, not daring to look at the Second Prince's wife.

All I heard was the Second Prince's wife saying indifferently, "Tell the kitchen to make some soup and serve it when His Highness returns."

Today, His Highness has not discussed with her in detail how the affairs of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion are progressing, but he will definitely come.

"I'm tired, help me in and lie down first."

In the room, a figure as fast as lightning jumped out of the window lightly. The guards of the prince's mansion only felt a gust of wind passing by, but did not notice anything unusual at all.

The Second Prince's wife likes to use incense. Since she became pregnant, she has used it more carefully.

Perhaps because she was angry about the news just now, she felt a little stuffy in her chest. After lying down for a while, her stomach began to hurt.

"Someone, go ask His Highness to come back. I'm not feeling well."

Concubine Liu naturally refused to let her go easily. However, the Second Prince still valued his wife, so after a while he finally came back.

The imperial physician rushed over and ran into the second prince.

The second prince thought to himself, it’s just a competition between wives and concubines for favor, why bother to really invite the imperial physician?

The day before yesterday, the imperial physician came to check the Second Prince's wife's pulse and said that the fetus was stable. Therefore, the Second Prince did not take the Second Prince's wife's words to heart at all.

However, unexpectedly, the Second Prince's wife looked very bad. She was curled up on the bed holding her stomach, and her lips were bitten with bloody marks. She looked really not well.

The second prince became nervous instantly.

He and the Second Prince's wife only have one daughter. If this baby is a legitimate son, the meaning will be different.

"What happened? How did you take care of it?"

There is no point in saying this anymore, because the Second Prince's wife's dress was stained with blood.

"Blood, the princess's clothes are bleeding."

The Second Prince was furious and urged, "Doctor, hurry up, you must save the princess's baby."

The Second Prince's Mansion was brightly lit and bustling with people, who were busy until late at night.

-

The next day, all the well-informed families in the capital heard about it.

The Second Prince's wife had a miscarriage.

Yuan Wanru raised her eyebrows. What a coincidence.

Is this karma?

Last night, Quartz took her to perform an autopsy. She learned from the pulse that Aunt Pan was poisoned by a Gu, which was why she had a miscarriage so quickly.

She said that the baby was more than five months old and she just fell, so it was not necessary to miscarry so soon.

Because of this, the court doctor did not find out the real cause of the miscarriage and could only blame it on Aunt Pan's fall.

In this case, the mastermind behind this must be the Second Prince and his men.

However, it is still unknown who the second prince has planted in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion.

From Xuanmu's words, we can know that Liang Yusong had no contact with Aunt Pan. So how did the news of threatening Aunt Pan and killing Deng Yeyong spread?

Coincidentally, the second prince has been particularly unlucky these past two days.

A sudden fire broke out at the Second Prince's farm and burned everything down. I heard that there was a lot of grain stored in that farm, so the loss was not small.

Lu Jiangnian, who was out on business, suddenly came back at this moment.

"Why are you back so soon?"

She should go to Qihuangzhai tomorrow, which means that Lu Jiangnian has been away for less than five days.

Have you investigated the matter of the rebellion?

Lu Jiangnian laughed somewhat impudently: "Now that we know they are the ones who lured the tiger away from the mountain, should I still be wandering around in the mountains like a fool?"

Yuan Wanru raised an eyebrow: "How are you going to report to the Emperor?"

"Isn't it hard to find the desperado?"

"Since the Second Prince couldn't provide any characteristics at the time, it means that I can only fabricate everything. Otherwise, he must have concealed the truth."

That is indeed the truth.

Yuan Wanru just found it funny: "I was worried about you, but it was obviously unnecessary."

Lu Jiangnian's mood became even happier.

"How could that be? It is precisely because I care about my wife that I feel as if I have divine help. My thinking is clear and I can seize the loophole."

He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms: "Did you miss me?"

Liu Yan and Liu Zhi hated themselves for not leaving earlier. They quickly lowered their heads and hurriedly closed the door of Mian Yue Pavilion.

Thinking of the eldest master's lingering tone just now, the two of them couldn't help but blush.

"Do I need to send you this tea?"

They didn't leave in time because they needed more hot tea.

Liu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. I guess the eldest master doesn't have time to drink tea right now."

After being apart for a few days, the eldest son, who is usually very clingy, is probably reluctant to waste time.

Inside, just as Liu Yan thought, Lu Jiangnian held her down and kissed her for a long time.

If he hadn't still had some sense and was thinking about getting back in a hurry and not being dirty, he would have wanted to drag the person directly to the bed.

"Madam, pack your things, let's go to the villa tonight."

After his breathing became steady, he couldn't suppress the thought and spoke it out.

Yuan Wanru exclaimed, "Ah!" "Do you really want to eat fish?"

Lu Jiangnian replied softly, "Yeah."

He missed it so much.

Yuan Wanru didn't care: "You haven't been home these few days, I'm afraid I have something to ask you."

"There's nothing to ask. You don't have to think about it. I'll make all the arrangements. Since my wife agrees, let's go now."

in such a hurry?

"Ok."

-

When Wang Min heard that Lu Jiangnian had returned, she started preparing dinner, thinking that she would ask her son later how the task assigned by the emperor was going.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, I only received a piece of news that my son and daughter-in-law would stay in the villa tonight.

What are you doing?

Wang Min was a little confused, but since everyone had left the house, there was nothing she could do.

Lu Song went home for dinner and was equally puzzled: "Where are Jiang Nian and Wanru?"

Wang Min said angrily, "Who knew that he would abduct Wanru as soon as he came back."

-

The villa was not close, and the carriage took half an hour to arrive.

Lu Jiangnian had already sent someone to arrange everything in advance. Yuan Wanru drank the delicious fish soup and found that the chef's cooking skills were indeed good.

"I am full?"

The person opposite her looked at her with scorching eyes, like a wolf or a tiger, and Yuan Wanru was panicked.

I always feel that he has ulterior motives.
