CHAPTER 1126: CHAPTER 1120: PROPOSING TO TAKE A CONCUBINE

"I didn’t say anything did I? I was just telling the truth, if I’m not welcome, I’ll return to Lingnan," Yue Ruxue said angrily.

Yue Rujing then turned to look at Yi Qiuping, who said indifferently, "Last night, Axue went to the main residence but did not see the eldest Prince and his wife, instead, she saw another woman there. That woman was pregnant, her belly looked as big as the eldest Prince’s wife."

"Ah...?"

Now, Yue Rujing was also puzzled and wondered what on earth the couple was up to.

A pregnant woman?

Could it be his senior brother’s doing?

Yue Rujing felt certain it couldn’t be; he knew his senior brother too well, and he wasn’t that kind of person.

Moreover, he knew Gu Youyou too well. If it were really his senior brother’s child, that woman Gu Youyou would have poisoned that woman and the child a long time ago. Would she let them stay in the house?

What baffles him is that the woman is living in the main residence. Even if she’s a guest of the house, who would let a guest stay there?

After all is said and done, it’s all because Gu Youyou doesn’t follow the rules.

Yue Rujing really wanted to sneak over to take a look, but considering the angry expression on his senior brother’s face earlier, he dared not.

After thinking it through, he said to Yue Ruxue and Yi Qiuping, "Perhaps that woman is someone important, and since they are hiding her, we must not let outsiders know. It’s better for you not to stay here, to prevent Axue from causing trouble. However, you must remember, do not reveal a word about that woman."

Climbing the wall of the main residence at midnight? Didn’t he know his own sister’s little schemes?

It’s really unsettling.

Just because of this alone, without his senior brother expelling them, he couldn’t allow Yue Ruxue to stay and cause trouble in someone else’s house.

With Gu Youyou heavily pregnant, if Yue Ruxue does something foolish and causes irrevocable trouble, his senior brother would definitely finish her off.

...

The three-day celebration banquet soon moved to its final day, and indeed, Yue Ruxue and her husband ended up staying in the inn arranged for them.

The celebration banquet proceeded smoothly until the last day, when the Empress proposed that King Jin take a concubine, and the candidate was the illegitimate daughter of General Lu.

Speaking of which, in the past, General Lu’s illegitimate daughter wouldn’t have qualified to marry into the Prince’s house as a concubine, but now her status had changed. After receiving military honors and a promotion in rank, she had become a person of interest, and naturally, his illegitimate daughter was now eligible.

Yet, General Lu was puzzled; his eldest unmarried illegitimate daughter was only thirteen years old—how could she marry?

He, a straightforward man, was not as meticulous as women and didn’t think too much, so he directly said to the Empress, "Your Majesty, the eldest of my unwed daughters is only thirteen years old, it will be another two years before she can be considered for marriage."

Speaking of General Lu’s daughters, everyone knew General Lu only had one son and a bunch of daughters.

However, they were not worldly girls as they were suppressed by a domineering mother, making these illegitimate daughters almost like maids, serving the family matriarch.

Thus, most families wouldn’t seek to marry a daughter from the Lu Family but rather hope to marry their own daughters into the Lu Family.

The Lu family had only one legitimate young master, who was good-looking, just like his father, a brave soldier on the battlefield with no one to compete for inheritance, making him a desirable match.

But now...this person seeking a daughter from the Lu Family, was it really the Empress?
