Lai Er was escorted to the court by the Jia Zhen himself.
In this battle for the throne,
The Ning and Rong Mansions had not been rewarded by the Emperor yet.
However, everyone knew that these two mansions would remain as the top families in the capital for a few more decades.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Why are you here? "The governor looked at Jia Zhen.
He quickly came out to greet him.
"He sent a slave here to steal his master's belongings, including the tributes.
He framed his master. There are witnesses and evidence.
Take him into custody, "the Jia Zhen said.
"Yes, Your Highness." The governor nodded to the guard behind him. The guard immediately understood and took Lai Er from the servant behind the Jia Zhen. "This is a serious crime.
He even dared to steal tributes.
It's a capital offense.
Don't worry, Your Highness. "
"Yes, Your Highness.
Find a few people to take good care of him in prison.
When I'm out of mourning,
I'll personally invite you to tea, "the Jia Zhen said.
"I'll keep that in mind.
I'll definitely ask you for a drink when the time comes, "the governor said with a smile.
It was rare to be able to get close to Ningguo Province. If his colleagues knew about this, they would be envious of him. It would be even better if he could get closer to them. Then, his career would be even more successful.
"Have you sent him to the court?" Xia Lu asked.
"Yes." The Jia Zhen nodded. Although he had sent Lai Er to the court, he was not very happy. No matter what he did to Lai Er, his wife would never come back. The Jia Zhen sat beside Xia Lu in a daze. He looked very depressed.
Xia Lu put down the list in his hand and let the Jia Zhen lean his head on his shoulder.
"Violent girl, do you think Master will remarry? Master is still young, only forty years old. As time passes, the grief of Madam's death will fade. One day, when he hears of Madam's death, his heart won't hurt anymore. When that time comes, will Master marry a new Madam? "The Jia Zhen leaned on Xia Lu's shoulder and asked softly.
"No, Master and Madam love each other so deeply. They won't remarry." Xia Lu thought for a while and recalled the plot in the novel. Later, Jia Jing became obsessed with alchemy and didn't remarry.
"Oh, if the master really remarries a new wife, then I will only have you. You must not leave me, understand?" Jia Zhen reached out and hugged Xia Lu's waist. His face was buried in Xia Lu's neck. At this moment, he looked like an injured little animal, which made Xia Lu's heart ache.
Xia Lu sighed and said softly, "Why am I the only one left? There's still my brother. "
"Yes, there's still that ugly girl. When the time comes, there will be our children. We have to have at least five children. That way, they won't be lonely," Jia Zhen said.
Xia Lu's mouth twitched. If possible, she didn't want to have even one child, let alone five. You're still a pig. "Actually, one is quite good. You can wholeheartedly cultivate him to become outstanding." Xia Lu wanted to teach the Jia Zhen what it meant to have good fertility and good breeding. However, for a certain ancient person, it was very difficult to plant this kind of grass.
"No, you must have five children. Three boys and two girls. That would be perfect," Jia Zhen said.
Xia Lu silently rolled her eyes and told herself not to argue with a person who had just been traumatized. At this time, the nanny serving the Jia Zhen's brother came over with the crying child.
"What's the matter?" Xia Lu looked at the crying child and wanted to take the child. However, she found that her arms were occupied by the Jia Zhen. She could only gently nudge the Jia Zhen to signal that someone was coming and to be more serious. However, the Jia Zhen didn't care about the outsiders at all. She still buried her head in Xia Lu's shoulder and hugged Xia Lu's waist with both hands. She had no intention of moving away at all.
The maidservants who came in were very embarrassed. They had just secretly seen the grandmother and the young master talking intimately. They didn't want the nanny to come and disturb them, but the second young master was crying so miserably. The nanny said that the second young master was crying so hard because he didn't see the grandmother. Therefore, they came in to disturb Xia Lu and the Jia Zhen. They didn't expect that the young master would not let go of the nanny even though he had heard their voices. This made them a little embarrassed.
"The second young master is angry because he can't see the grandmother. Usually, at this time, the grandmother will hug the second young master and say hello. He's not used to not seeing the grandmother today," the nanny said.
"Let me hold him." Xia Lu gently patted the Jia Zhen and motioned for him to get up.
The Jia Zhen pursed her lips. She was very unhappy, but she still let go of Xia Lu.
Xia Lu took the child and really found it strange. The child stopped crying immediately and even broke into a big smile. At this time, if one didn't see the green bean-sized tears at the corners of the child's eyes, they would never think that the child had just cried.
"Sure enough, the second young master misses the grandmother," the nanny said.
Xia Lu smiled and teased the child. She looked at the unhappy Jia Zhen and nudged her. "You should tease him too. Isn't he cute? His little mouth is pouty. He looks like you. "
"Are you kidding me? How can I look like this ugly thing?" The Jia Zhen was furious. He wholeheartedly rejected Xia Lu's statement that the child looked like him. "He's still young.
His face hasn't matured yet. When he grows up, he'll look good. You looked like this when you were a child. Now, aren't you handsome, elegant, and extraordinary? "Xia Lu said. Sure enough, the Jia Zhen's expression became a little better. He looked at the child in Xia Lu's arms again. Yes, from the looks of it, he could see the shadow of a good-looking child in the future.
"Come, hug him." Xia Lu put the child in the Jia Zhen's arms. She wanted the Jia Zhen to develop a relationship with the child. Relationships were formed through time. Although the Jia Zhen's knot in his heart had not completely disappeared, if they continued to get along well, the Jia Zhen would really be able to completely accept this child from the bottom of his heart during the holidays.
Looking at Xia Lu's expectant expression, the Jia Zhen held the child in his arms. Looking at the child's big eyes, he thought for a moment. Well, he was Madam's child after all. He was still a little good-looking. At this moment, the Jia Zhen felt that his hands were a little wet and warm. Then he looked at his clothes. Sensing that something was wrong, the Jia Zhen's face immediately darkened. Sure enough, this child was still so annoying.
At this time, Xia Lu also noticed the Jia Zhen's movements. He successfully saw the Jia Zhen's angry face. At this time, Xia Lu looked at the child and found that the child was laughing happily. Baby, do you know that you're in trouble? Your brother wants to kill someone now.
"What are you waiting for? Take him down and change his clothes," the Jia Zhen said to the wet nurse beside him.
"Yes." The wet nurse quickly came over and took the child. Ignoring the child's small mouth that was about to cry, she quickly took the child back to her room and changed his clothes.
Xia Lu looked at the Jia Zhen and said, "That child is indeed Master's younger brother. He likes Master so much. When Master carried him, he gave Master his clothes. He's so amazing," Xia Lu said with a little guilty conscience.
"Haha." The Jia Zhen put on a fake smile.
Xia Lu was a little embarrassed. Looking at the Jia Zhen who was soaked in urine, she felt a little guilty and said, "Master, I'll help you change your clothes. Although a child's clothes don't smell, it's not very comfortable to wear them like this. It's better for us to change first." Xia Lu was very embarrassed at this time. After all, she was the one who put the child in the Jia Zhen's arms.
"Why aren't you leaving?" The Jia Zhen went back to the bedroom exasperatedly and let Xia Lu change his clothes. However, he still felt uncomfortable after changing his clothes, so he asked the Jia Zhen to inform the kitchen that he wanted to boil water to take a bath. After Xia Lu helped him take a bath, the Jia Zhen came out of the bathroom refreshed and felt comfortable.
When the wet nurse took the child back, this time, the Jia Zhen didn't want to hold him no matter what. He didn't want to take a bath again.
"Of course there's a wet nurse to raise this child. Why do you have to go through so much trouble?" The Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu playing with the child and was very dissatisfied. He seemed to have seen the future scene of this child fighting with him for a wife.
"That's not the same. I'm his family. With a family member taking care of him, he will understand what family is like." In ancient times, when a rich family gave birth to a child, there would be wet nurses and various maids to take care of him. The person who gave birth to the child didn't have to spend so much effort. Xia Lu felt that this was not right. Thinking back to modern times, she had a friend who took care of her child while working. Others said that it was too hard for her and that she should leave the child at home and let his parents take care of him. In the end, she refused. She said that it was easy for her to leave the child at home and let his parents take care of him. However, she would never see her little son again. When she was sick and lying in bed to rest, he would find a towel for her, wet it with water, and put it on her forehead. He would whisper to her, "Mom, get better soon." Although the towel on her forehead was a rag, she was still very touched.
"But if you do this, he will be spoiled and arrogant in the future. In the end, he will become a playboy." The Jia Zhen wanted to dispel Xia Lu's idea.
"The child I taught will definitely not be a playboy." Xia Lu narrowed her eyes and looked at the infant dangerously. From today onwards, the feather duster could start walking.
The Jia Zhen saw Xia Lu's gaze and shuddered.
"By the way, this child doesn't have a name yet. Shouldn't we give him a nickname first? Master will give him a proper name. "Every time Xia Lu saw the child, she didn't know what to call him. However, her father-in-law was in pain at the loss of his wife, so she didn't want to mention it.
