Chapter 194 Mandarin Duck Underwear
While Lu Lingxi was arranging a way out for Su Yun, Jiang and Wang who fell into the water, he sat there without saying a word. This was because he was feeling so sad that he didn't know what to say.
On the way back from the hunting ground, Nan Wangyu told her the whole story of falling into the water.
It turned out that since the fifth day in the palace, Nan Wangyu had already decided to send Su Yun away from the Prince's Mansion, and had also discussed it with the Grand Tutor Su Zhengyan. The person who would save Su Yun was someone they had chosen in advance, so their age and family background were just right for her, so Su Yun would not be too wronged.
Wang already had someone she loved, and was not favored by the prince, so she had long intended to leave the mansion. Nan Wangyu knew this, so he found her and assigned her the task of dragging Su Yun into the water. After the task was accomplished, she would be able to return to her beloved.
So the person who saved Wang had also saved her when she was a child. In fact, the two had loved each other for a long time, but Zhang Li had a poor family background and Wang's father did not agree, so he separated them. Zhang Li did not know where Wang was, and after trying to find out from many sources without success, he regarded Wang as his deceased wife and vowed never to marry again.
Zhang Li's rescue was not a coincidence. He was brought to the scene by Zeng Shen. Seeing that the other two people who fell into the water had been rescued, Wang was struggling alone. He could not bear to see her die, so he saved her again. However, he thought that Wang was a woman and her reputation was important, so he did not look at her and did not recognize her. That's why he said that she could only be a concubine. However, when he lifted Wang's veil that night and saw her face clearly, he immediately regretted it and wanted to make Wang his wife immediately.
Wang stopped Zhang Li from promoting herself to be his legal wife, and explained to him the whole story and the prince's plan in detail, asking him not to expose the prince's plan. As long as the two of them were of one mind, she would have no complaints even if she was just a concubine for the rest of her life.
This also makes two marriages come true.
Only Jiang was innocently implicated. Wang did have a conflict with Su Yun on purpose and did say something rude. Jiang tried to mediate and was dragged into the water. The person who saved Jiang was also sent by Nan Wangyu, but he was just there to observe the progress of the incident. When he saw that she accidentally fell into the water and didn't want to cause any deaths, he had to save her. She didn't want to marry that person and left in anger.
Wang felt somewhat guilty about this, and was afraid that the prince would punish her for not doing her job well, so she obeyed the prince's orders and said nothing when dealing with the three people. She thought that not being the first wife for her whole life might be a punishment for not doing her job well, so she did not argue or ask for anything. Because she felt guilty, she often went up the mountain to comfort Jiang whenever she had time.
Fortunately, the final endings of these three people were not too bad. Nan Wangyu did not sell them out at will just because he lost his love for them, nor did he call for killing them at every turn. On the contrary, he showed a certain degree of kindness and tolerance, and carefully planned and arranged the rest of their lives.
From this point of view, Nan Wangyu's heart is not cruel, and Lu Lingxi can't really blame him too much. After all, in such an environment where male power, husband power, and monarch power are supreme, it is not easy to achieve this.
So during the process, she waited silently for Nan Wangyu to deal with it, and did not say much afterwards.
On the second day, she counted her things, thinking that she should go back to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion to visit Gu Yan'er. Normally, she should have visited Gu Yan'er as soon as possible after learning that she was pregnant and she was alone in the mansion. However, after the flower viewing banquet, she was injured in the palace and was restricted from leaving the mansion by Nan Wangyu. Now that she is well, she has the opportunity to leave the mansion.
As soon as Lu Lingxi arrived at the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, he heard Uncle Wei say that Gu Yan'er was in her bedroom taking care of her pregnancy and rarely came out, so he went straight to her bedroom.
He hurriedly called out "Sister-in-law!" and pushed open the door, only to see Gu Yan'er hurriedly stuffing the embroidery in her hand under the pillow.
Gu Yan'er was still a little flustered and stammered, "You...you are already married, why are you still so reckless? Don't you even knock on the door before entering someone's bedroom?"
Lu Lingxi was suspicious. Logically, Gu Yan'er should be embroidering clothes for the baby in her belly, but why would she hide the clothes she was making for the child?
"Why do we have to be so distant with each other? Besides, wasn't I calling you as I walked? Didn't you know I was coming?"
As Lu Lingxi spoke, he walked towards the bed and sat down.
Gu Yan'er's eyes unconsciously glanced under the pillow, feeling a little uneasy. After carefully confirming that the important item had been properly hidden, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I... I really wasn't paying attention just now. I didn't expect you to come here today. Um... Is your leg injury healed?" After saying that, she carefully observed Lu Lingxi's reaction.
Lu Lingxi nodded slightly and uttered a simple "hmm" in response. Then, she suddenly leaned forward at lightning speed and reached under the pillow like lightning. Gu Yan'er had no time to stop him and could only watch Lu Lingxi pull out the thing hidden there.
When she looked closely, she found that it was an undershirt with a delicate mandarin duck pattern embroidered on the corner, and it was obviously a men's style. Gu Yan'er panicked instantly, blushing and said coquettishly: "Oh! Lingxi, how could you do this?" As she spoke, she hurriedly reached out to take the undershirt back from Lu Lingxi's hand, and hurriedly stuffed it back under the pillow, as if it was some shameful secret.
Seeing this, Lu Lingxi couldn't help but chuckle, with a sly light in his eyes, and teased: "So sister-in-law is just making this inner garment for brother? What's there to be embarrassed about? And you have to hide it so well, is it because of the vivid mandarin ducks on the corner of the garment?"
Gu Yan'er's cheeks seemed to be stained with a light blush, she shyly tilted her head slightly, turned to the side, and said angrily: "Hmph, I don't want to bother with you!" Her charming and lovely appearance was like the peach blossoms that bloomed in spring, so beautiful that it made people's heart beat. At this time, her smart eyes flashed with a light of shyness and anger, as if she was expressing her dissatisfaction with the other party, but with a bit of indescribable tenderness.
Lu Lingxi couldn't help but widen her eyes, her gaze fell directly on Gu Yan'er, the whole person seemed to be frozen, and it took a while for her to come back to her senses. She couldn't help but admire: "Sister-in-law, you are pregnant now, and your complexion looks better than before! Your pink cheeks are as delicate as peach blossoms blooming in spring, and your slightly upturned mouth corners are hung with a gentle and charming smile, which is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away! It's a pity that my brother is not around at the moment, and I can't witness such a breathtaking beauty of sister-in-law." As she said, Lu Lingxi shook her head gently, with a trace of regret in her eyes.
Gu Yan'er felt even more embarrassed by what Lu Lingxi said and really ignored her.
Seeing that Gu Yan'er was silent, Lu Lingxi also realized that he had said too much and quickly begged for mercy: "Okay sister-in-law, I won't tease you anymore, please forgive me. But sister-in-law, this beauty is really worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the capital, it really makes people can't help but admire it."
As soon as Lu Lingxi begged for mercy, Gu Yan'er forgave her and said unhappily, "You've talked so much. Drink more water to moisten your throat!"
