Hearing this, Xia Anan glanced at Bai Zhenzhen next to her.

Bai Zhenzhen seemed to have been hit hard suddenly, her face suddenly turned pale, which was obviously in contrast to the red marks on her forehead from kowtow.

"I...I'm going back first." She said in a trembling voice, turned around and ran away.

Xia Anan shook his head.

Bai Zhenzhen may regret it now.

At the beginning, Lu Zhuo really wanted to marry her and put in a lot of effort for it.

But she was not firm enough.

…

Xia Anan entered the house, and Duke Dingguo asked her if she had been to the Korean Duke's Mansion?

When Xia Anan heard this, her heart sank.

Only people very close to Heguangyuan knew about this matter, and the other one was Mrs. Liang.

Are there spies around them?

If it really exists, you have to find it.

Xia Anan was silent for a moment and said, "Yes."

"Look! Look!" Lu Lian kept saying, "She was the one who instigated it!"

Xia Anan: "That day, the second sister-in-law asked me to go back to her parents' house with her. If she said that, her family would agree to let her reconcile. I also persuaded her to let her take advantage of the time when the second brother was willing to reconcile with her.

She wanted to have a child. But she didn’t want to. She said she was afraid that the past would happen again and that the child would suffer in the future. Seeing that she had made up her mind, I agreed to go with her.”

She said, kneeling down to plead guilty: "Dad, I know that you and your second brother will definitely blame me, but as we are both women, I really can't bear to see her depressed and often shed tears... Dad, please punish me! I accept the punishment.

!”

Duke Dingguo frowned and sighed, feeling angry in his heart. He turned around and said to Lu Lian: "It's all because of you! If it weren't for you spoiling your concubine and killing your wife, which chilled people's hearts, how could she have done it?"

Will that be the case?”

Lu Lian's eyes widened: "Dad! How can you be so partial? If I persuaded Lu Zhuo and Xia An'an to reconcile, you wouldn't kill me? Now if it's the other way around, you don't even say a word to Xia An'an and you scold me?

"

Ding Guogong: "No matter what, the family scandal must not be made public! If you talk about your younger siblings in public, will someone come forward to redress your grievances? It is nothing more than making everyone in the capital laugh!"

Lu Lian: "Didn't I drink too much..."

Duke Dingguo: "Okay! Go back! If your wife is gone, just look for her, and I will help you keep an eye on her."

Lu Lian: "...Thank you, Dad."

Duke Dingguo let him go, and then said to Xia An'an: "Everyone who knows him knows that what he says after drinking is not serious, so don't take it to heart. Your reputation cannot be slandered by him with a few words.

"

Xia Anan nodded.

"Lu Lian... I didn't teach him well." Duke Dingguo said in a depressed tone, "But don't worry too much about him. Give birth to the child well and everything will be solved."

Duke Dingguo didn't blame her in the slightest. Xia Anan felt that she couldn't forgive him and said, "Dad, I will go and apologize to my second brother properly later. Don't worry!"

"No need!" Duke Dingguo said, "It's all his fault. You don't need to apologize to him."

After Xia Anan returned, she personally visited Lu Lian to apologize.

Lu Lian said that she was hypocritical and could not say a good word in her sarcasm. Xia Anan didn't care about her, as long as she could handle it with the Duke.

When she left their yard, she saw Bai Zhenzhen playing with the children in the yard like nothing happened.

Xia Anan sighed inwardly.
