Voice of the heart: Those who are eaten by the real daughter are in bad luck

Chapter 315: You’re Pregnant!

The indescribable expressions on everyone's faces made Zhao instantly alert. Although she was not close to her biological daughter Lu Xinran, she had to believe in her abilities.

Is there something wrong with the Cao family?

Thinking of the family of the Minister of War who had collapsed at the annual party the year before, she couldn't help but swallow nervously.

She tugged at Lu Xinlan's sleeve as if asking for help. Lu Xinlan met her slightly panicked gaze and patted the back of her hand soothingly.

"It would be great if eldest brother's marriage was settled. We will have another wedding in the new year."

Being able to hold a wedding naturally means that the Cao family will not receive a big gift package. Zhao's heart suddenly settled down and she smiled again.

She glanced at Lu Xinran out of the corner of her eye and snorted proudly.

Although she was the daughter of the eldest son of the Shangshu family and not the eldest daughter, she was a perfect match for Lu Yuanheng.

My son's marriage has been delayed for two years. I finally found someone I like, and I can't let it be ruined by this damn girl.

Lu Xinran rolled her eyes. She really couldn't understand how Zhao had remained so stupid for ten years.

Normal people grow smarter as they get older. Is her head filled with grass?

Song Junyan in the front yard suddenly heard this series of complaints and hurriedly lowered his head to suppress the smile that was emerging at the corner of his lips.

How much does his young wife dislike her biological mother?

You can hear her sharp complaints every time.

Pei still had many doubts in her mind. Zhao felt that the eldest daughter of the Cao family was a perfect match for Lu Yuanheng. If it were before yesterday, she would have had this idea, but after hearing about the dirty things in the Cao Mansion, she began to hesitate again.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Lu Xinran took her hand and whispered, "Grandma, which mansion in the capital city doesn't have some secrets that cannot be told to outsiders? If you can turn a blind eye, just let it go."

Pei looked at her in surprise. This girl...what does this mean?

Lu Xinran smiled innocently, with an expression of 'I was just talking casually', which made Pei unable to guess what she was thinking.

Lu Xinlan also agreed with what she said.

Even Liu, whom they all thought was a kind person, had been making trouble for her openly and covertly because she didn't want to have children early.

At the Tang family, she had to deal with her mother-in-law's nitpicking and sudden troubles every day.

Human nature is inherently complex, so why take it too seriously?

Zhao was still happily imagining how proud she would be among the circle of noble ladies in the capital after her marriage.

So what if Liu looks down on her Yuan Heng? The girl from the Cao family is a thousand times better than Tang Wanrou!

Lu Xinran was smiling happily as she flipped through Zhao's booklet. She didn't have time to flip through the booklets of the female members of the Cao family yesterday.

But a girl who could fight and survive in the inner house of Cao's family must be very capable and scheming.

With Zhao's personality, the other party could easily grab her hand.

She just sat there and watched the fun, to see how Zhao would go out and embarrass herself after being caught by her daughter-in-law.

Lu Xinlan listened to her thoughts and looked at Zhao with sympathy.

They chatted in Pei's room until noon. After the family had lunch in the yard, the two sisters returned to the yard to talk in private.

"Why have you been acting a little weird these past two days? Have you discovered something?"

As soon as Lu Xinlan entered the room, she pulled Lu Xinran over and looked her up and down. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind and her face changed instantly. Her eyes couldn't stop looking at Lu Xinran's lower abdomen.

"You're pregnant, aren't you?"

Lu Xinran followed her gaze to her lower abdomen, then waved her hands awkwardly.

"No, no, he, he took some medicine. My lower abdomen has been feeling heavy these days, so there shouldn't be any problems with my menstruation these days."

After she mentioned to Song Junyan that she wanted to give birth later that day, he went to a trusted imperial physician to ask for a prescription the next day, and she took the medicine that was to be taken once a month while she was resting.

She was originally worried about indulging herself on the wedding night, but the familiar changes in her body over the past few days made her feel a little more at ease.

"That's good. The situation is unstable right now, and it would be more convenient for us if we don't have any offspring."

Her words surprised Lu Xinran a little, and he didn't quite understand what she meant by the unstable situation.

"Why, the princes are scheming for the position of crown prince in various ways, and everyone knows about it. Do you really think that no one can see what is behind these things?"

No one wants to talk about it more, simply because they don't want to be mistaken for taking sides.

But she is different. She and her sisters always stand together, and he will only stand by his sister.

Lu Xinran knew that she didn't think about the emperor and the country prince, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when Lu Xinlan said this, another idea suddenly came to her mind.

Song Junyu is so reckless and conceited, bumping into her again and again to provoke her. Is there really no one instigating this behind the scenes?

If he had someone like that country prince by his side, it would all seem more reasonable, right?

Lu Xinlan watched her fall into deep thought while she was talking. She waved silently to call the servant and asked him to bring in a pot of hot water.

She could see that the other person was hiding secrets from her, but not all secrets had to be shared between the two of them.

There must be a reason why Lu Xinran didn't say anything. She just had to wait for her to mention it and then tell her.

"Sister, what should we do if the capital city becomes chaotic?"

"Chaos?" Lu Xinlan raised her eyebrows in confusion: "Are you talking about chaos, the undercurrents in the court, or chaos in the true sense?"

"All of them, right? Besides, the emperor is not as healthy as he looks..."

She picked out the parts of her discovery on the eve of the New Year and briefly mentioned them. "If he really died suddenly and there was no heir, wouldn't the capital city be in chaos?"

That country prince is the empress dowager's own flesh and blood. If he finds an opportunity to use some means to make the empress dowager believe in his identity and be willing to help him ascend the throne, the capital will be in real chaos at that time.

Lu Xinlan saw that she was already worried while talking, and a dark look flashed across her eyes.

There is chaos in the capital...but the chaos caused by the prince's fight for the throne should be nothing in the eyes of the people around us.

After all, these things have appeared in the history books that I learned in my previous life.

What would make her so worried must be something more complicated or even potentially subversive to the court.

She took Lu Xinran's hand, her voice gentle but firm.

"No matter what happens, the first thing we have to do is to protect ourselves. Sister, if that day really comes, we can still find a chance to leave the capital, either hiding our identities or going overseas to Nanzhao. There is always a place for you and me in this big world."

So, don't worry.

Even if men are unreliable, they still have each other.

Lu Xinran was moved and took her hands: "I know that sister treats me the best, but don't worry, I will never let that day happen."

They should stay in the capital and live a rich and stable life!

She doesn't want to be displaced and create an image of herself as a person who constantly strives for self-improvement.
