Su Qiong went to the study first.
Lu Qingqing and Lu Zhen followed suit. Lu Qingqing held Lu Zhen’s hand tightly, afraid that he would turn around and leave.
For some reason, Lu Zhen wanted to laugh, but he held it in. The colder he was, the more Lu Qingqing was like a fire, burning him passionately, and he loved this feeling to the core.
He liked it when Lu Qingqing only had him in her heart.
When they arrived at the study, Su Qiong instructed, “Qingqing, close the door.”
Lu Qingqing went to close the door. Her eyes were still on Lu Zhen. After closing the door, she quickly ran to close the window before returning to Lu Zhen’s side.
Su Qiong sat down calmly and said to Lu Zhen, “Consort De came to look for me today. She asked me for something.”
Lu Qingqing gulped and grabbed Lu Zhen even tighter. As a matter of fact, she and Lu Zhen already knew what it was about.
Lu Zhen met Su Qiong’s gaze and said softly, “Mother, just say what you want to say. If 1 can do it, I won’t refuse.”
Su Qiong smiled faintly. “You’re a good child. You were supposed to be rich and noble, but you ended up like this. It’s been too long. Now, you’ve also started a family. Consort De misses you dearly, but you’re too cold to her. She hopes that you can know everything she’s done for you. Are you willing to get to know it?”
Before Lu Zhen could answer, Su Qiong sighed. “Zhen, you and Qingqing have been married for a few years. You don’t have children yet, but you will eventually have children. Can you imagine what will happen after you have children?”
Lu Zhen pondered. Actually, in the next three years, he had no intention of having a child. He had not thought about what would happen if he had a child.
Lu Qingqing grabbed Lu Zhen’s hand. Before Lu Zhen could think of what to say, she cried first. When she imagined that scene in her mind, she was about to break down.
Lu Zhen immediately sensed Lu Qingqing’s emotions. He was not in the mood to answer Su Qiong’s question. Instead, he wiped Lu Qingqing’s tears and coaxed her softly, “Why are you crying? Don’t cry.”
Lu Qingqing’s eyes were red. “Can you agree to Consort De’s request? She’s also been suffering all these years. When I thought about being separated from the child 1 gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, 1,1…”
The pain was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Lu Zhen frowned and wiped Lu Qingqing’s tears. “Don’t cry. I’ve already agreed.”
Before coming, he had already made a promise to Lu Qingqing.
She probably got so carried away by Su Qiong’s words that she forgot about it.
Lu Zhen carried Lu Qingqing and stood up. He said to Su Qiong, “I’ll agree to get to know what my mother has done for me. As for when, she can decide.”
After saying that, Lu Zhen carried Lu Qingqing out of the study.
Su Qiong looked at Lu Zhen’s back in a daze. She had actually prepared a long speech like blood was thicker than water and so on, but apparently, her daughter’s tears were a hundred times more useful than speeches.
Su Qiong couldn’t help but laugh. It was good that her daughter was doted on.
Lu Zhen carried Lu Qingqing back to her room. Lu Qingqing was still sobbing. Just thinking about being separated from her child made her feel terrible.
Lu Zhen hugged her and let her face him. “Don’t cry. That kind of thing won’t happen to us. We will protect our children well. When they grow up, 1’11 teach them martial arts to protect themselves.”
Only then did Lu Qingqing wipe her tears and nod.
The next day, Su Qiong sent a message to the palace.
Upon receiving the message, Consort De quickly prepared to leave the palace. She could not wait a day.
She went straight to the general’s mansion to invite Liu Sanniang and then went to the Su Mansion with her.
Consort De was in a daze. She felt that she had a lot of things to say, but she did not know what to say. What appeared in her mind were all the precious memories hidden in her heart.
More than ten years was too long. It was enough for a child to forget everything.
Consort De thought about what her child might have suffered without her protection and her eyes turned red.
The handkerchief in her hand had already been crumpled up by her. She felt tortured and conflicted inside. Was she too selfish and asking for too much?
But she couldn’t control herself.
Su Qiong came out to receive her. She said with a smile, “Your Highness, Lu Zhen is already waiting for you and Miss Liu.”
Su Qiong led the way. When Su Qiong arrived outside a room with Consort De, Lu Qingqing came out of the room. She bowed slightly to Consort De. “Greetings, Mother.”
Consort De helped her up and patted the back of Lu Qingqing’s hand. “There’s no need for the formalities between us.”
Su Qiong said gently, “Miss Liu, bring Her Highness in.”
Su Qiong was very understanding and gave Consort De and Lu Zhen enough space. The servants were dismissed.
Liu Sanniang stepped forward and gently held Consort De’s arm. “Your Highness, let’s go.”
Consort De felt like her soul had left her body. She followed Liu Sanniang into the room in a daze.
After entering the room, Liu Sanniang closed the door.
Lu Zhen stood up and nodded politely at Liu Sanniang. “Greetings, Miss Liu.”
Lu Zhen then looked at Consort De. “Greetings, Mother.”
Consort De resisted the urge to cry and nodded.
Lu Zhen looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, what do you need me to do?”
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Sit down. Your Highness, please reach out your hand. Lu Zhen, clench your fist and put it on your mother’s palm.”
After sitting down, Consort De reached out her hand. Her pale hand was trembling slightly.
Lu Zhen reached out his hand. His hand was very big, much bigger than Consort De’s hand. His skin was copper-colored.
He placed his fist on top of Consort De’s palm. Consort De closed her eyes and said in a choked voice, “The year I sent you out of the palace, your hand was very tiny. I could easily wrap my hand around it.”
Lu Zhen did not speak. He looked at Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang reached out and placed her hand on Consort De’s wrist. A majestic and pure power was released. Consort De was not guarded against her at all, and neither was Lu Zhen..
