Chapter 290 You Are My Mother
"Yes, yes."
The eunuch touched the silver in his hand and a smile spread across his face.
"It was our general manager who personally announced the decree. Congratulations, Madam Lu."
Marrying the prince might be a happy event for others, but it was not a happy event at all for Leng Qingyu.
With a faint smile on her face, she thanked the eunuch and asked the butler to send him out.
"Ding Qiao, go call Lu Zhiyi over. I have something to ask her." Leng Qingyu turned around and ordered.
"Yes!" Ding Qiao received the order and turned to go to the backyard.
After a while, Lu Zhiyi was carried by Ding Qiao and walked over quickly.
Lu Zhiyi was not free until Ding Qiao let go of his hand.
She tugged at her skirt in annoyance, swung her arms vigorously, and cursed:
"Where did you come from, you dog slave? Do you know who I am now? How dare you use force against me! If anything happens to the baby in my belly, your whole family won't be enough to bury me with it!"
Leng Qingyu glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "The child is still young, don't curse him all the time. Some words will come true if you say them too many times."
When Lu Zhiyi heard this, she suddenly shuddered, raised her head, and put on a fake smile on her face: "Mom, don't scare me! This is the third prince's child. If something happens, I'm afraid he will blame us in the Qinwang Mansion."
"Then you must be more careful. Even if it's for the sake of our palace, you must protect this child."
Leng Qingyu continued speaking along with what she said.
Lu Zhiyi didn't expect Leng Qingyu to say this, and was stunned for a moment.
Then he pointed at Ding Qiao and said, "Mom, I will be careful, but you have to teach these slaves a lesson. They dared to use violence against me. They are so bold!"
Facing Lu Zhiyi's accusation, Ding Qiao remained calm and replied calmly: "Madam, I didn't use force on the Second Miss. She just said she was not feeling well and I was afraid she would get tired, so I helped her over!"
Lu Zhiyi pointed at Ding Qiao and said angrily, "That's called supporting me. You clearly dragged me here. You knew I couldn't move easily, but you deliberately walked so fast. What on earth was your intention?"
"Okay!" Leng Qingyu interrupted Lu Zhiyi.
"You're already a mother, but you're still so impulsive. Be careful not to hurt your child!"
"mother……"
Lu Zhiyi felt very aggrieved.
Leng Qingyu ignored him and continued, "I called you here today to discuss your marriage with you."
When Lu Zhiyi heard about the marriage, she immediately calmed down.
A few days ago, Ning Yuer and Lu Changqing were locked up in the ancestral hall, and she herself was locked up in the backyard and unable to go out. Lu Zhiyi once thought that the third prince would definitely send someone to rescue her.
But after waiting day after day, there was no movement outside.
There was a constant stream of guests, and the courtyard was filled with a festive atmosphere. She herself seemed isolated from the world and forgotten by it.
Lu Zhiyi was disheartened for a while.
It wasn't until she discovered that she might be pregnant that her hope was rekindled.
Since the Third Prince is unwilling to take the initiative to help, we can only use this child to force him to do so.
She had put so much thought into this before, it must not go to waste.
"Mother, have you told the Third Prince about my pregnancy? Did he say anything?"
Lu Zhiyi looked at Leng Qingyu's expression, trying to grasp some information about the Third Prince from it.
To her disappointment, Leng Qingyu's expression did not change.
But what came out of her mouth was shocking.
"I don't know what the Third Prince's attitude is, because it wasn't us who proposed the marriage, it was the Emperor's order."
"Your Majesty..." Lu Zhiyi murmured, "How could the emperor know about this?"
Leng Qingyu sneered: "You are pregnant with the emperor's grandson, isn't it normal for him to know?
What's more, the truth cannot be hidden. Since you have done such a thing, don't be afraid of letting others know."
Lu Zhiyi heard a hint of disgust and contempt in Leng Qingyu's voice.
She smiled complacently, “Mom, when we young people are together, sometimes we can’t help ourselves.
What's more, the Third Prince and I are truly in love, and I really can't bear to refuse what he wants."
Lu Zhiyi deliberately emphasized the four words "true love".
I want to see how Leng Qingyu reacts.
But Leng Qingyu didn't care at all.
He said calmly: "Your wedding date is set for the eighth day of next month. Time is tight, and you have to make all the necessary preparations.
Your mother is now in the ancestral hall. From today on, you are no longer under house arrest and can go to the ancestral hall to discuss the betrothal gift with your mother. "
"Mom, what did you say?"
Lu Zhiyi widened his eyes in disbelief.
Leng Qingyu actually asked her to go to Ning Yuer to discuss the bride price?
"Now that you have a biological mother, you are no longer my eldest daughter. You can discuss these trivial matters before getting married with your biological mother!"
"No, she is not my real mother, you are my real mother!"
Lu Zhiyi knelt down with a plop and hugged Leng Qingyu's thighs. "I know that mother has not liked me since my sister came back, but mother raised me since I was a child. No matter who gave birth to me, I regard mother as my only mother."
Leng Qingyu sighed deeply, as if she was somewhat helpless. "I have watched you grow from such a small child to what you are now. Do you think your mother is willing to give you to someone else?"
Lu Zhiyi's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this, "Mom, I knew you couldn't bear to leave me!"
Leng Qingyu changed her tone and continued, "But now your mother is right in front of me. If I insist on keeping you by my side, wouldn't I become the villain who separated you and your daughter?"
"Mom, please understand, she is not my biological mother at all. I don't even know who my biological mother is. In this life, I only recognize you as my mother!"
"But a few days ago, I heard from Xin Ran that you personally admitted that Ning Yu'er was your mother, and you were very clear about what happened back then. This..."
Leng Qingyu seemed to be heartbroken and couldn't continue. Lu Zhiyi saw this and quickly explained:
"Mom, I was also deceived. It was Ning Yuer who lied to me and said that she was my biological mother and wanted me to help her.
I didn't know what happened at the time, but I was blinded by my thoughts and said such outrageous words.
Later, when I was awake at night, I regretted these words.
I wanted to find my sister to explain everything, but she had me locked in the yard and wouldn't let me go out. These days, I regret it all the time."
"Really?" Leng Qingyu asked.
"Really!" Lu Zhiyi nodded heavily.
Seeing that Leng Qingyu was still hesitating, she further said: "Mother, you also know that the third prince's mother, Concubine Shu, is very favored by the emperor.
This time I marry into the Third Prince's mansion. If I can win the favor of Concubine Shu, I can beg her to find a better job for my brother!"
