Su Qionglooked at Consort De and said seriously, “I promised to help you, bur if he doesn’t agree, then there is nothing I can do about it. No matter if he’s distant or close to you, he’s your son. This is a fact that can t be changed.’1
After all, Lu Zhen was already an adult. He had his own judgment of what was right and wrong and should not be forced.
Consort De nodded. “1 understand, thank you.”
Su Qiong waved her hand. “It’s getting late. Why don’t you stay for dinner? We can call the couple over.”
Consort De shook her head. “No, it’s been some time since I left the palace. It’s time for me to go back. If you want to send me the news, just ask someone to take this token to come to see me.”
Consort De took out a token with the word “De” engraved on it.
Madam Su took the token and agreed. “Okay.11
Consort De stood up and walked to the door. She opened the door and went out.
T he old nanny was already waiting outside the mansion. When Consort De came out, she immediately went forward and helped her into the carriage.
After getting into the carriage, the old nanny asked in a low voice, “Your Highness, is it done?”
Consort De sighed. “Madam Su has agreed to help. I’ve done what I can. The rest is up to fate.”
“My son was lucky to have met Madam Su.”
Even though Su Qiong didn’t say much, she knew that Su Qiong treated Lu Zhen well.
Even if Lu Zhen was just a servant of the Su family, it was still better than becoming a beggar and starving on the street. Those beggars would grow up to be thieving people. For a bite of food, they would not hesitate to commit crimes.
in comparison, Lu Zhen was very lucky to have met Lu Qingqing and Su Qiong.
Other than his own hard work, what made him what he was today was also thanks to Su Qiong’s nurturing.
The old nanny also nodded repeatedly. “Fourth Prince is a blessed person. In the future, his life will only be smooth-sailing. Your highness, you will also get what you want.”
Consort De put her palms together. “1 hope so.”
in the west courtyard of the Su Mansion.
Lu Qingqing sat beside Lu Zhen and asked, “Lu Zhen, will you agree?”
Lu Zhen and Lu Qingqing had heard the conversation between Consort De and Su Qiong just now.
Not long after Consort De arrived, Lu Qingqing pulled Lu Zhen to the main courtyard to eavesdrop on the conversation.
As she listened to what Consort De said and what Su Qiong said, Lu Qingqing was on the verge of crying.
Later, it was Lu Zhen who carried her away. After returning, Lu Qingqing kept pestering Lu Zhen, asking him if he agreed.
Lu Zhen’s expression did not change much.
Lu Qingqing sniffed. “Just agree. Consort De is very pitiful. ltrs not that she doesn’t love you. If you want to blame someone, blame those evil people. They caused you to be separated from your mother.11
Lu Zhen hugged Lu Qingqing and said calmly, “I’m very grateful that I left the palace back then.”
If he had not left the palace and disappeared, he would never have met Lu Qingqing.
He could not remember anything from the palace at all, so no matter how moving Consort De’s words were, he was unmoved.
Lu Qingqing grabbed Lu Zhen’s clothes and twirled a strand of his hair around her finger. She blushed and said. If you agree, I can give you a chance to command me as you wish…”
Lu Zhen’s eyes were deep as he gulped. “Huh?”
Lu Qingqing stammered. “Two chances.”
Lu Zhen hugged Lu Qingqing and finally said, “Three.”
Lu Qingqing took a deep breath. “Alright, three chances it is. If you agree, you can’t go back on your word.”
Lu Zhen nodded softly. “Okay.”
Initially, he had already decided to agree. He was Lu Zhen, but he was also Consort De’s son, Xia Hongguang. Even if he could not remember the past, he could imagine how difficult it was for Consort De to protect him.
Therefore, when Consort De summoned him, he went.
However, he had never been a talkative person. He did not know that him being not talkative would make Consort De so sad.
Consort De could clearly ask him herself, but because they had been separated for more than ten years, she felt that she was not qualified to ask.
However, if Consort De knew him well, she would know that as long as she asked, he would do his best.
Whether it was Consort De asking him or Su Qiong asking him, Lu Zhen would agree.
Lu Zhen was in a good mood. He leaned close to Lu Qingqing’s ear and whispered. “Qingqing, 1 want to use the first chance tonight…”
Lu Qingqing blushed. “Then there will be only two chances left.”
Lu Zhen chuckled. “Ok.”
At the thought of what was going to happen tonight, Lu Qingqing blushed even more.
At dinner time, a servant came to call them for dinner.
Lu Zhen and Lu Qingqing went over together. Lu Run smiled at the two of them and greeted politely, “Sister, Brother-in-law.”
Lu Qingqing smiled. “How’s your studies recently?”
Lu Zhen nodded slightly. “Remember to take care of yourself.”
Lu Run nodded. “I will. Thank you for your concern, Sister and Brother-in-law.”
Lu Qingqing smiled. “It doesn’t matter if you can’t study well. At most, you can come back and inherit the family business. With your brother-in-law around, no one will dare to bully you.”
Lu Run nodded with a smile.
After dinner, Lu Run stood up. “Mother, Sister, Brother-in-law, I still have an article to read. I’ll leave first.”
Su Qiong nodded. “Go. Don’t stay up too late. Rest well. Your sister is right. You’re different from other students. You still have a family business to inherit.”
Lu Run smiled and left.
Su Qiong waved her hand and asked the maidservants to clean up the table. Then, she said to Lu Zhen and Lu Qingqing, “Come to the study with me. I have something to tell you..”
