Chapter 93 -94: It’s Also Your Child
Shao He spoke to stop them, “No need, I tampered with the prescription, giving it to him won’t matter.”
The carriage soon stopped outside the mansion, where maids and nannies were waiting at the gate. Seeing the returning carriage, they happily brought out the prepared items.
As Shao He got off the carriage, she saw Nanny Zhang lighting mugwort in a fire basin for her to step over.
“Congratulations on your return, miss. This fire basin is to dispel the bad luck from your body.”
Knowing they meant well, Shao He lifted her skirt and stepped over, followed by willow branches dipped in water gently sweeping over her body, and finally cleansing her hands and face with clean water.
After everything was done, Nanny Zhang immediately went to bring the prepared meals, and Shao He invited her to eat together, but Pei Huaian politely declined and suggested she rest after her meal.
...
During the meal, Shao He asked Qingxia, “Was it you who sought out Pei Huaian?”
“No, miss. Since that incident, we haven’t had any contact with Young Master Pei. This time, it was Yun Qian who found Young Master Pei through Yan Ze,” Qingxia anxiously waved her hands, fearing that her miss would not believe her.
Seeing her flustered state, Shao He smiled and shook her head; however, she truly hadn’t expected Yun Qian to seek Pei Huaian to save her.
Qingxia stole a glance at her miss, seeing no anger but a smile on her lips, she tentatively said, “When Young Master Pei heard about the miss’s trouble, he even thought it was the Marquis’s doing and specially sent people to protect the child.”
Shao He paused in her eating, her eyes downcast, and the scene in the prison came to mind, making her curious about what Pei Huaian’s face under the mask really looked like?
The cool night enveloped Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion, where Chu Yu was in the study handling court affairs.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
A knocking sound came from outside the door.
“Come in.” Chu Yu put down his pen, tiredly sitting in the chair with a headache.
Luo Jiner came in carrying a nourishing soup and placed it on the table, then went behind Chu Yu to massage his shoulders.
“Marquis, has something happened recently? Why do you stay in the study every day?”
Chu Yu closed his eyes and said with a slightly irritated tone, “Some things have happened at court recently.”
Luo Jiner, sensing his impatience, cleverly did not continue probing but changed the topic, “Marquis, I have been at fault recently. I shouldn’t have conflicted with Old Madam, putting you in a difficult position.”
“It’s all my fault. Even if Old Madam makes things difficult for me in the future, I will endure and not make it hard for you.”
Luo Jiner lowered her head, feeling wronged and self-reproachful, yet secretly pleased, thinking this would surely make the Marquis pity her more.
Hearing this, Chu Yu opened his eyes, frowning at Luo Jiner, “Since you know you were wrong, then don’t argue with grandmother anymore.”
“Marquis…”
Chu Yu interrupted Luo Jiner, “I know you’ve been aggrieved, but after all, grandmother is an elder, and as the younger generation, you should show respect and filial piety!”
Luo Jiner bit her lower lip, not expecting not only to not receive comfort but to also be scolded, a result that was beyond her expectations.
Seeing Chu Yu’s firm attitude, Luo Jiner had no choice but to put on a magnanimous facade, “What the Marquis teaches is correct.”
“Perhaps the Marquis should take those two concubines, so it’s easier for you with Old Madam.”
Chu Yu massaged his forehead, saying, “Hmm, if you can be so magnanimous, grandmother won’t trouble you in the future.”
Luo Jiner sensed that things were different from before, unsettling her.
Previously, the Marquis would never dismiss her like this; he would definitely comfort her and decline to take the two concubines, but now he seemed impatient and even asked her to be more generous, a situation that felt ominous to her.
“Yes, what the Marquis said is reasonable. After all, it’s my fault I can’t bear children after saving the Marquis before, otherwise, the Marquis wouldn’t be in such a difficult position today,” Luo Jiner thought of using this to evoke Chu Yu’s guilt and pity.
Little did she know, dwelling on a matter could annoy others, leaving no room for guilt or pity.
Indeed, Chu Yu coldly said, “When the two concubines bear children, just register the child under your name, and it can also be considered your child.”
Chu Yu’s previous pity for her had vanished, and his mind kept involuntarily comparing her to Shao He.
Luo Jiner’s face darkened instantly. She didn’t want others’ children, and even if they were left by the mother, she didn’t show it but strongly agreed, “What the Marquis said makes sense, and I will treat the child as my own in the future.”
Only then did Chu Yu’s expression soften slightly, pulling her hand and patting it, “I knew it, you are the most sensible.”

Luo Jiner sweetly smiled, took the opportunity to sit on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, and leaning her head on his chest, cooing, “Marquis…”
Chu Yu embraced her slim, tender waist, his gaze tender as water, and raised his hand to stroke her cheek, gently caressing it.
Just as the two were about to take things further, a coquettish voice suddenly came from outside.
“Marquis, are you in there?”
The voice was clearly one of the concubines, and Luo Jiner’s expression instantly cooled.
Chu Yu pushed her off him and said to the outside, “Come in.”
The guard outside pushed open the door, and a concubine entered carrying a ginseng soup, not surprised but smiling as she bowed slightly, “Miss Luo.”
