The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Lu Qingcheng slowly walked up to Dongfang Wan'er, her head lowered, her small hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes. "Sister Wan'er..." Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

Seeing this, Dongfang Wan'er reached out her gentle hand and softly stroked Lu Qingcheng's little head, her eyes filled with affection. "Oh, Qingcheng, look what your sister brought you!" she said excitedly, handing a beautiful box to Lu Qingcheng.

Lu Qingcheng carefully took the box, opened it, and found that it contained her favorite roast duck! Instantly, a bright smile bloomed on her face, and her eyes curved into crescent moons.

Qiuqin carried a food box filled with various exquisite pastries and fragrant roast duck, all of which were Lu Qingcheng's favorite delicacies.

Lu Qingcheng's eyes lit up instantly. She stared at the food box impatiently, as if she could already taste the delicious flavors melting in her mouth.

"Haha, you little glutton, all of this is for you!" Dongfang Wan'er smiled as she handed the food box to Lu Qingcheng, telling her that there were many other interesting little trinkets besides this. After saying that, she took Lu Qingcheng's hand and led the way into the mansion.

"Hahaha, everyone, don't just stand at the door, come on in!" Lu Yanchen was exceptionally excited today, greeting everyone with a broad smile. Joy radiated from everyone's faces as the family entered the mansion in a lively and cheerful atmosphere.

"Wan Ning, you've been sick for the past few years and haven't been able to come home to visit. You look so well today, have you recovered?" Ye Jingxia pulled Lu Wan Ning to sit beside her and asked with concern.

"Mother, I'm sorry to have worried you. My illness is mostly cured, all thanks to Wan'er!" Lu Wanning and Dongfang Wan'er had discussed how to answer this question in the carriage, so they decided to make up a story, saying that Dongfang Wan'er had accidentally met a mysterious gentleman who taught her superb medical skills, which enabled Lu Wanning to recover.

"Wan'er actually had such a wonderful encounter..." Lu Yanchen said excitedly.

“Oh, right, my brother wrote a letter…” Lu Qingmo suddenly said.

"What did my brother say in his letter?" Lu Wanning asked hurriedly.

Dongfang Wan'er also listened intently, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"The Regent handed the military tally to my elder brother. After receiving the imperial decree, my elder brother needs to return to the capital to inherit Father's position as the Grand General Who Protects the Nation..." Lu Qingmo said slowly.

“I have long since retired from the court, so why has this happened to us again…” Lu Yanchen frowned, he really did not want his eldest son to suffer this hardship.

“Yes, our Lu family has finally had a few years of peace…” Ye Jingxia also looked worried.

“That is my elder brother’s ambition. If I can stand up again, I am willing to follow him!” Lu Muchuan’s tone was unusually calm, as if he was not talking about his own legs.

Hearing her uncles' words, Lu Qingcheng's eyes became even more determined: "I also want to do my part for the country, just like my uncles!"

Looking at Lu Qingcheng, everyone felt a surge of emotion and pride. They knew that loyalty and courage flowed in the Lu family's bloodline, and this spirit would surely be passed down to the younger generation. Although the future held many challenges, they firmly believed that the Lu family's descendants would live up to their mission and bring glory to the nation and its people!
