Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

A hint of hatred flashed in Cui Ying'er's eyes. She really didn't know what was so good about that woman Lu Qingxue. Wasn't she just from a higher social class?

Besides, she lacked even the most basic magnanimity of a matriarch. Despite being married for several years without conceiving, she still demanded that Hua Rong be with her for life.

This jealous woman should have been divorced, but Fan Huarong kept protecting her.

But... even if you protect Lu Qingxue, so what?

She is now pregnant with Fan Huarong's child, and once the child is born, she refuses to believe that she will not be able to enter the Fan family!

Moreover, Fan Huarong always thought he was hiding it well, but Lu Qingxue had known about her existence for a long time.

That woman only appears glamorous on the surface, with an aloof and indifferent demeanor. I bet she's probably hiding under the covers crying right now!

When her child inherits the Fan family business, even if she can only be a concubine after entering the family, with her methods, she will definitely live a more glamorous life than a matriarch who cannot have children!

Thinking of this, Cui Ying'er giggled again, wrapped her arms around Fan Huarong's neck, and offered her fragrant lips.

"As long as you have me in your heart, as long as we can be together, I can endure any amount of grievances."

Fan Huarong looked satisfied upon seeing this. He patted Cui Ying'er on the shoulder, but his mind was filled with thoughts of Lu Qingxue.

He had already finished dealing with his business a few days ago, but Cui Ying'er wanted to have a few more days of fun, so he accompanied her on a few more days of crazy fun.

It has to be said that he was always a bit reserved in front of Lu Qingxue, because Lu Qingxue was a noble lady from a prestigious family, and the girl he fell in love with at first sight, and he had spent so much effort to win her back.

In front of her, he would always do his best to fulfill all the duties of a husband.

It was different in front of Cui Ying'er; he didn't need to care at all and took Cui Ying'er's service for granted.

Because Cui Ying'er came from a humble background, she was filled with admiration for him. Every time he saw her, his eyes would overflow with love and respect, which greatly satisfied his self-esteem.

He used to think that there was nothing wrong with being a monogamous couple for life. Lu Qingxue, whom he loved, was the most important woman in the world to him.

But as he watched his brothers take concubines one by one, and some even went to brothels to meet courtesans, he gradually understood why they did it.

It must be said that the days of indulgence were quite enjoyable.

After sending Cui Ying'er to the house he had bought outside, Fan Huarong returned to the Fan residence.

"Where is the lady?"

With a broad smile, Fan Huarong instructed the servants to carry the gifts he had bought into the house.

He'll be thrilled to see Qingxue return. He bought her everything he saw along the way that she might like.

"My lord, the lady has already returned to the Lu family."

Hearing this, Fan Huarong was somewhat surprised, but didn't think much of it.

"I think it's because I've been away for a while. It's good for her to go back and stay for a while. I didn't think it through enough before. I should have personally taken her back before I left."

Fan Huarong smiled and said, "In that case, I'll go in first to change my clothes, and then go to the Lu family to pick up Qingxue."

The servants in the mansion looked at Fan Huarong in this state and couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances. When the madam left earlier, she had taken away a lot of things.

Although they didn't know the reason, they vaguely sensed that the situation was not so simple.

"My lord, you've finally returned!"

When the housekeeper saw Fan Huarong return, he rushed over.

"What happened?" Fan Huarong asked, frowning.

"My lord, the lady has miscarried."

Fan Huarong's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief. "What?"

"A few days ago, when Madam was taking a walk with the young mistress of the Meng family, she accidentally fell down the stairs. At that time, the Lu family invited the imperial physician and went to great lengths to save the child."

Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly worsened today, and the imperial physicians were helpless; the child could not be saved.

The steward looked pained, knowing how much the Marquis and his wife longed for a child.

After several years of marriage, she finally became pregnant, but then lost her. Who could bear that?

When did you become pregnant, Madam?

Fan Huarong's heart tightened. Although he had been away for a while, it had only been half a month. Why hadn't he heard Qingxue mention her pregnancy before?

"The lady is already two months pregnant, is the Marquis unaware?"

The housekeeper was now perplexed. The lady had clearly called a doctor to check on her before, as she was feeling unwell and had not had any appetite.

When she heard that she was pregnant, the lady was overjoyed. Later, she specially ordered people to prepare a sumptuous dinner and instructed them not to tell the Marquis, but to tell him herself.

He thought the Marquis already knew, so why hadn't the Madam told him?

"How would I know if you didn't tell me?"

Fan Huarong angrily grabbed the butler's collar, "Such a big thing, and you didn't even tell me? What kind of job are you?!"

"My lord, the lady said she wants to tell you this surprise in person and has ordered all of us not to say a word."

I remember that day the lady prepared dinner and waited especially for the Marquis to return. I thought the Marquis already knew…”

Fan Huarong was slightly taken aback, and he couldn't help but recall the events of that day. When he returned, he did see Qingxue happily, and that day was also Qingxue's birthday.

He thought Qingxue was waiting for him to come back and celebrate her birthday, but Cui Ying'er sent someone to say that she was not feeling well, so he didn't have time to talk to Qingxue much and said that he had to go out on important business and would be back later.

As a result, after arriving, he was kept busy by Cui Ying'er and couldn't get away. By the time he returned, it was already late at night, and Qingxue was already asleep.

He didn't think much about it at the time, only that he would make it up to Qingxue on another day. Who would have thought that she would want to tell him that she was pregnant that day?

Why did you not say anything more after that?

After this thought crossed his mind, Fan Huarong suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Qingxue wouldn't go back to her parents' home for no reason. She always adhered to etiquette and felt that if others saw her constantly visiting her parents' home after getting married, they might think that she and her husband were not getting along.

She didn't tell him she was pregnant, and even after the baby was lost, no one sent word...

A nameless panic spread through his heart. Without saying a word, he rushed to the Lu family.

He had to see Qingxue immediately and get to the bottom of things.

Because Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting had arrived, the Lu family's lunch was extremely lavish.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. When Lord Lu returned and learned that his daughter was alright, he was relieved.

I was so anxious when I heard the news that I tripped on my way back. Now, although I think it would be troublesome to divorce my two children, at least my daughter and grandson are both fine.

Let's get a divorce then. He doesn't want that scoundrel son-in-law who betrayed his daughter!

Therefore, the Lu family was in a rather good mood during the meal, and while they were talking, they heard the news that Fan Huarong had arrived...
