Chapter 213 You deserve it
Lu Yuan pursed his lips and looked at him, "Madam Zhou is living a peaceful and happy life now. If I told you, what would you do?"
"I just learned about this not long ago. She had a narrow escape from death and was determined to die when she left the mansion. She had no intention of living at all. It was Doctor Zhou who saved her from the brink of death."
"Hongkui, you can't give it to her, but Doctor Zhou can. Now that you have what you want, give Madam Zhou what she wants." Lu Yuan advised in a low voice.
He Hongkui opened his mouth to explain, but when he saw his son's young figure out of the corner of his eye, he took his words back.
"Huan'er, when did you see your mother?" He Hongkui asked.
His son's reaction today clearly showed that he had already recognized Cheng Zhiyun, but he had never mentioned it to him.
In order to let his son remember his biological mother, he placed a portrait of Yun'er in his son's room.
If my son met Yun'er on the street, he would definitely recognize her.
"I met him on the street last year," He Xianghuan whispered.
He didn't tell the truth.
In fact, it was his wet nurse who took him to find his mother.
He missed his mother every day. He knew that his stepmother was not his biological mother. Last year on his birthday, both his stepmother and father were not at home, and he felt very lonely.
He quietly hid in a corner and cried, and his wet nurse took him out of the house.
He recognized his mother at a glance.
The wet nurse said that her mother would be happier living outside. If she returned to the Marquis's Mansion, she would lose her life silently like the kitten he once raised.
So he told no one.
"Why didn't you tell daddy? Why?" He Hongkui asked harshly.
"Don't scare the child." Lu Yuan frowned and reminded.
He Hongkui took a deep breath.
"If mother goes back to the Marquis' Mansion, I won't be able to call her mother anymore. She will be bullied." He Xianghuan said in a low voice.
"..." He Hongkui felt as if someone had hit him hard in the chest and was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
"Send Huan'er home first." Lu Yuan looked at the servants in the Marquis' Mansion.
He Xianghuan's black and white eyes trembled as he looked at He Hongkui.
"Don't hurt mother."
"How could I..." He Hongkui was shocked. In his son's mind, was he someone who would hurt Yun'er?
Lu Yuan handed He Xianghuan over to the servants of the Marquis' Mansion and asked them to take him back first.
He and He Hongkui found a quiet pub and sat down.
"Lu Yuan, you are really not a good brother." He Hongkui took a sip of wine, but the depression in his heart could not be dispelled.
"If you were reluctant, why did you marry someone else in the first place?" Lu Yuan looked at him calmly.
He Hongkui's lips twitched, "I have no other choice...Except for the position of legal wife, I can give her everything."
"When you were in the most difficult time, she was the one who endured the hardships with you. After so many years in the Marquis' Mansion, you finally gained a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion. You have a good life now, but what about her?"
"If you can't do that, you shouldn't have agreed to marry her in the first place."
"You shouldn't have married someone else without telling her, and made her despair and lose heart when she was full of expectations."
He Hongkui drank another glass of wine. "She was pregnant at that time. If I told her, she wouldn't be able to bear it. I wanted to wait until she gave birth to the child, and then I would make her a concubine..."
"In your heart, you feel that she is not worthy of you, right?" Lu Yuan said.
"I……"
"You first agreed to marry her, but then you thought that the status of a concubine was enough for her."
"Lu Yuan, are you my brother?" He Hongkui was angry and didn't say a word on her side.
"Did you protect her when your wife was blaming her?" Lu Yuan asked back.
He Hongkui opened his mouth and said, "If I protect her, it will only make her more..."
"Even if you are my brother, I will still beat you if you speak rudely to my wife." Lu Yuan said calmly.
"I will not allow anyone to hurt the woman I love, and I will not let her compromise."
He Hongkui recalled that after Wang came into the family, she asked Yun'er to set the rules.
He felt distressed, but thinking that he had suffered much more, it was not too hard to set up rules just to serve tea and water, and Yun'er would surely be able to endure it.
She is such a tough and hard-working person.
"Your wife comes from a prominent family, so she is different from Yun'er." He Hongkui made excuses for himself.
"It has nothing to do with status, Hong Kui. You love yourself more than Madam Zhou, but Doctor Zhou is different."
"Since Madam Zhou has tried her best to save you several times, you should let her live a peaceful and comfortable life."
He Hongkui's eyes instantly turned red.
"then what do I do?"
"You deserve it." Lu Yuan couldn't help but scold him.
He Hongkui pointed at Lu Yuan and said, "You married the woman you love, and you are still talking without any worries."
"Yes, so you'd better be polite to my wife next time." Lu Yuan said seriously.
Damn, the more I drink, the more bitter the wine tastes.
"I'm leaving. It's a rare day off today." Lu Yuan patted his shoulder and stood up.
"If Wang finds out that Yun'er is in Shangjing City, she will definitely not let her go. You can ask your wife to persuade her. I can find another place for her to stay, and let Huan'er go to accompany her." He Hongkui said.
Lu Yuan smiled faintly, "Don't worry, your wife won't dare to cause trouble for her."
He Hongkui frowned, feeling that there was something else behind Lu Yuan's words.
"Doctor Zhou and Madam Zhou are the benefactors of the Prince of Zhennan, unless your wife wants to offend the Zhennan Palace." Lu Yuan said.
"What?" He Hongkui was stunned.
Lu Yuan left the tavern and told He Hongkui's followers, "Send your Lordship back."
He returned to the clinic and found that Doctor Zhou was still seeing patients calmly, and did not see Shen Sui'an and Cheng Zhiyun.
"They went to buy jewelry." Zhou Zhou said.
Lu Yuan was a little surprised that Cheng Zhiyun was still in the mood to buy jewelry after meeting He Hongkui.
That can only prove one thing, that she has really let go of the things that happened in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Commander Lu, is there anything else?" After Zhou Zhou finished his work, he found Lu Yuan still in the clinic and looked at him with some confusion.
"Yeah." Lu Yuan glanced around. Apart from the medicine boy who was getting medicine, there were only him and Zhou Zhou left in the clinic.
Lu Yuan whispered: "That... male contraceptive medicine..."
Zhou Zhou raised his lips and took out a box from the cabinet and gave it to him. "There is also a booklet in it that teaches you how to use it. Go back and study it carefully."
"What is this?" Lu Yuan opened it puzzledly, and found dozens of sheep intestines inside.
He immediately closed the box. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Zhou Zhou said, "I would also like to thank you for your help today."
Lu Yuan said, "Aren't you worried that the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion will cause trouble for you?"
Zhou Zhou knew that he was talking about not just He Hongkui.
"I will protect her." Zhou Zhou said.
"By the way, Huan'er should come to get medicine today. It is not convenient for me to go to the Marquis' Mansion. Please give this to him." Zhou Zhou took out two porcelain bottles.
Lu Yuan asked, "What happened to Huan'er?"
"He has wheezing, but it's not serious. He needs good care," said Zhou Zhou.
Lu Yuan frowned. He had never heard He Hongkui mention it.
