Chapter 232 The Lowly Concubine
Wu Weiwei waited and waited until midnight.
She said she was waiting, and at first she did have her eyes open.
However, I was so sleepy that even reading couldn't stop the drowsiness from creeping in.
She just fell asleep like that.
Shortly after.
Suddenly, the wind chimes outside rang out, followed by the sound of slowed footsteps.
Lingfu, who was guarding outside, was about to greet the young master when Lu Hanting waved her away.
He pushed open the door and came in quietly.
Immediately afterwards, the man's large hand reached out to grab the person on the bed.
As Wu Weiwei was sleeping, she suddenly felt a chill in front of her and opened her eyes.
Then she saw the man stroking her face with his beard.
Even his hand was restless and placed there.
"Sir..."
"Wei'er, do you miss me?"
Haha, how is that possible.
Who does he think he is?!
but.
"Your Highness, Weiwei was so worried that she didn't dare to sleep, fearing that the Emperor would make things difficult for you."
But I was so sleepy that I accidentally fell asleep...
You won't blame Vivi, will you?
The man touched her face.
She said softly, "You stayed up all night waiting for me, how could I blame you?"
As for the emperor, he wouldn't dare do anything to me..."
Hearing this, Wu Weiwei knew that he was alright.
The male lead is the male lead after all; he wasn't punished even after such a thing happened.
It's true that the male lead has a powerful aura.
"That's good, then Wei'er can rest assured."
As Lu Hanting held the soft, fragrant woman in his arms, his body immediately reacted.
Wu Weiwei sensed his impulse.
Suddenly, he spoiled the mood, saying, "Young Master, my sister's seventh day memorial has just passed, let's not do 'that' tonight!"
Wu Weiwei's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.
This made Xiao Xiaoting instantly turn into a soft, muddy worm.
He looked at Wu Weiwei in the darkness.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether she did it on purpose or not.
However, speaking of He Yuyan, her seven-day mourning period has not yet passed.
At that moment, he instantly lost interest.
He suppressed his voice and said in a low, muffled tone:
"It's getting late, go to sleep!"
The man closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
Listening to the man's even breathing, Wu Weiwei couldn't help but chuckle.
It seems that his insomnia these past few days has been cured by me.
However, that method really worked.
I just hope we can do it again next time.
A smile spread across Wu Weiwei's face.
The next day.
When Wu Weiwei got up, she saw the young master staring straight at her.
"Your Highness, what are you doing here?"
"If I'm not here, where would you like me to be?"
Wu Weiwei glanced at the sky outside and suddenly remembered what he had said last night.
He seemed to be...
Lu Hanting tapped her head.
"As I said last night, the Emperor has suspended my post and given me a month's rest."
So you can't escape this month!
Seeing that she looked completely terrified.
His face instantly darkened: "What, you're not happy that I have time to spend with you?"
Wu Weiwei said awkwardly, "No, how could that be? I was just overjoyed!"
"That's pretty much it!"
Whew, looks like I'll need to take more medicinal baths these days.
In just a few days.
The capital was filled with news that Lu Dushi had been dismissed by the emperor.
Even more so, many spies sent by powerful families were stationed at the entrance of the Marquis's mansion, trying to find out if the news was true or false.
After several days of not seeing Lu Hanting attend court, the crowd was in an uproar.
It seems that Commander Lu has indeed been dismissed by the emperor.
Faced with such false information, the emperor did not offer any explanation.
Lu Hanting, however, disdained to explain.
However, He Yuyan in Yu County became worried.
"Xiaoyu, has Lu Du really been dismissed by the emperor?"
“Miss, this was said by Steward Leng.”
"I heard this from the servants in the courtyard, so it shouldn't be wrong!"
Has Lu Hanting really been dismissed?
Is this for his own sake?
He Yuyan didn't know what to feel at that moment.
Two days earlier, Shen Bazhi had told her that Lu Hanting had returned from the northern frontier.
Originally, she wanted him to send a letter to the Crown Prince, asking him to come and pick her up.
But Shen Bazhi suddenly told her about his background.
So she's still struggling with whether or not to acknowledge the eldest princess.
On one side is the prince who is infatuated with her, and on the other side is her mother who has been searching for her for sixteen years.
He Yuyan was finding it extremely difficult to make a decision.
Moreover, she had heard that her birth mother, the eldest princess, was ambitious and seemed to be plotting a rebellion.
If she were to truly acknowledge the eldest princess, wouldn't she become the descendant of a traitorous minister?
If the Crown Prince were to conquer Anle County, what would become of her...?
After having breakfast at Biyun Courtyard, Lu Hanting returned to Qingsong Courtyard to handle affairs.
The emperor said he wanted him to rest, but he still had to handle all the official business.
These people delivered official documents to the Marquis's residence right on time every day.
Wu Weiwei was still quite happy.
Although Lu Hanting had been taking up her evenings these days, she could still do her own things during the day.
This day.
Lin Fan sent word that Qingzhu and the others had returned from overseas.
Qingzhu has been away for almost a month.
I wonder what I will gain from this trip.
After changing her clothes, Wu Weiwei hurriedly left the mansion with her entourage to visit the person in need.
However, just as she reached the door, she encountered Xie Ningxin, who had come to the Marquis's residence.
A few days ago, Xie Ningxin relayed the message that Lady Hou had asked her to deliver to the Empress Dowager.
As the heir apparent's fiancée, she was more worried than anyone else about Lu Hanting's dismissal.
But she went to the palace again yesterday, and her aunt, the Empress Dowager, reassured her.
The emperor merely reprimanded Commander Lu verbally and suspended him from his post for a month.
He also reassured her to focus on preparing for her wedding.
Her aunt told her that the emperor now seemed to be suspicious of Lu Hanting.
Therefore, if Lu Hanting were smart enough, he should have seized the opportunity to join the Xie family and pledge allegiance to her.
Otherwise, if the emperor gets angry, he might actually be dismissed from his post.
At that point, no one in the entire court will plead for him.
The Empress Dowager told her to persuade the Crown Prince, since the Xie and Lu families would be one family from now on.
In terms of interests, they should naturally be closely linked.
Hearing her aunt's words, Xie Ningxin instantly realized the truth.
That's why she came to the Marquis of Dingguo's residence today, hoping to cultivate a relationship with the heir.
"Wu Weiwei, the young master is still in the Marquis's residence, why are you still running away?"
"Could it be that someone outside is trying to seduce you?"
Upon seeing Wu Weiwei dressed in bright red and green, Xie Ningxin didn't hold back in mocking her.
Now that the Marquis's most beloved concubine has been reduced by one, it's Wu Weiwei's turn next.
Although Wu Weiwei was quite favored by the Crown Prince.
Xie Ningxin, however, was not afraid of Wu Weiwei.
After all, she would soon be marrying into the Marquis of Dingguo's household.
As the mistress of the house, how could she not discipline a concubine of such low birth as Wu Weiwei?
