After the old lady finished speaking, she left the study room, supported the hand of Nanny Lan who was waiting there, and went back to Fushou Hall.

Sister Lan saw that her complexion was not good, and asked, "How did you go with the Duke?"

The old lady sighed, "How can we talk about it? It's all like that. Besides, you also know the temper of Lao Jiu. He has always said what he said. In addition, Qing Bai and Lao Er must have made mistakes first."

Sister Lan nodded, "Since this is the case, don't worry about it anymore. It is said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Please take it easy and don't embarrass yourself."

The old lady sighed again, but nodded her head, the matter has been done, it is useless for her to make things difficult for herself.

……

After the old lady left, Lu Jiuyuan took care of some business before returning to Tingfangyuan.

When he returned, Chen Yingying had already left, and Tao Yao was sitting by the window to dry her hair after taking a shower.

Seeing him come back, Tao Yao turned her head and asked, "Did mother come here just now?"

"En." Lu Jiuyuan responded, took off his robe, and hung it on the screen.

"Mother came here so late, what do you want?" Tao Yao asked curiously.

Lu Jiuyuan paused, walked over, stroked her long hair, and said with a smile, "Your hair is already dry."

Tao Yao glanced at him, frowned and said, "Are you changing the subject? Is it something I can't know?"

Lu Jiuyuan paused, and said in a nonchalant tone: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Lu Qingbai might have said something in front of his mother, and my mother came over and scolded me."

"He spoke ill of you in front of his mother, but what excuse do you have in his hands?" Tao Yao was surprised.

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head, "Who knows?"

"Then mother believed his words?" Tao Yao was a little puzzled, she always knew that Lu Jiuyuan was the one who loved the old lady the most, so she probably wouldn't come here to scold him just because of Lu Qingbai's few words.

She always felt that this man was hiding something from her.

"Maybe it's because of his pity." Lu Jiuyuan said, "Among the grandchildren, except for Xiao Hao, the mother loves Lu Qingbai the most."

Tao Yao thought for a while, and said, "Have you found the thief who broke his arm?"

Lu Jiuyuan paused and shook his head.

Tao Yao glanced at him and couldn't help but said, "Actually, you were the one who crippled his arm?"

Lu Jiuyuan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tao Yao confirmed her guess, "It's really you?"

In fact, she suspected that Lu Jiuyuan did it at the beginning, but she felt that Lu Qingbai deserved it, so she didn't ask about it.

But now it seems that the old lady suddenly came to blame Lu Jiuyuan, she must have learned the truth about it from Lu Qingbai.

"It's me." Lu Jiuyuan sighed and admitted.

Tao Yao nodded and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Lu Jiuyuan asked instead: "But do you think I'm too cruel?"

Tao Yao shook her head, "If I say that he took the blame, don't you think I'm too cold-blooded? After all, he is your nephew."

Lu Jiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Of course not, I also think he deserves it."

Tao Yao reached out and hugged his waist, pressed her face against him, and rubbed gently, "Thank you for standing up for me and always standing by my side unconditionally."

She's not stupid, he would abolish Lu Qingbai's hand, naturally because of her, the same reason as he abolished Lu Er back then.

"You are my wife, and I should stand up for you." Lu Jiuyuan patted her head and said dotingly.

When Tao Yao heard this, the hand around his waist tightened a little more.

Having said that, but Lu Qingbai and Lu Er, one is his own nephew and the other is his own elder brother, if he wants to do something to them, how can there be no pressure?

At least, the old lady's test was not easy, but he resisted it.

While being moved, she was suddenly picked up by Da Heng and walked towards the clean room.

Seeing her, she hurriedly said, "I've already washed it."

"Wash with me again," Lu Jiuyuan said.

Tao Yao: "..."

Because she was pregnant, Lu Jiuyuan didn't dare to torment her, and soon came out of the clean room with her in his arms.

However, Tao Yao was still blushing and panting.

"You go to bed first." Lu Jiuyuan touched her forehead and said hoarsely.

"What about you?" Tao Yao asked out of breath.

"I'll wash it again." After Lu Jiuyuan finished speaking hoarsely, he went to the clean room topless.

Seeing this, Tao Yao's face burned again.

She knew that he was not having fun, but she was still pregnant, so there was nothing she could do.

Not long after, Lu Jiuyuan came out again, wearing a middle coat, with cold moisture.

Tao Yao knew that he took a cold shower.

She consciously lay down on her side.

After Lu Jiuyuan sat down, he saw her lying in a corner, and said amusedly, "What are you doing lying so far away?"

"I won't lie farther away, you're going to take a cold shower soon." Tao Yao blurted out.

Lu Jiuyuan: "..."

He coughed lightly, stretched out his arms, and carried her out a little, "No more."

"What?" Tao Yao was puzzled.

Lu Jiuyuan paused, touched her face, "It's okay, go to sleep."

Tao Yao glanced at him, then suddenly reached out to touch his abdomen.

Lu Jiuyuan took a deep breath and quickly grabbed her hand, "What are you doing?"

"Your stomach is cold." Tao Yao blinked and said.

Lu Jiuyuan paused, "Otherwise what do you think?"

"I thought it was hot." Tao Yao bit her lip and said.

"I just took a cold shower." Lu Jiuyuan gritted his teeth.

"No wonder it's so comfortable. I want to touch it again to cool down." Tao Yao said.

Lu Jiuyuan looked at her amusedly, but refused, "No."

"Why?"

Lu Jiuyuan took a deep look at her, "I won't be able to sleep for a while."

Tao Yao was taken aback for a moment, and quickly understood what he was referring to, and withdrew her hand with some reluctance.

Seeing this, Lu Jiuyuan pressed his thin lips to her ear, and said in a low voice, "After you give birth, touch again, as long as you want."

Tao Yao snorted softly, "I don't want to touch your belly until then, it's too late for me to take care of the baby."

"The baby has servants who will take care of it." Lu Jiuyuan frowned.

"I'm worried." Tao Yao also frowned.

Lu Jiuyuan paused, and patted her on the back, "Okay, don't think about it anymore, it will take a long time, let's talk about it later."

"En." Tao Yao responded and yawned.

"Go to sleep." Lu Jiuyuan gently patted her back.

Under his pat, Tao Yao soon fell asleep.

The next day.

Uncle Zhongyong Xu’s family was impeached by Yushitai, not to mention the murder, but also robbing the women in the street. After investigation, it was found that this happened. The emperor was furious. Xu Qingzhan was sent to prison.

When Lu Yulan learned about this, she was overjoyed and ran to share her joy with Tao Yao.

"... Uncle Jiu must have done this." She said firmly, her eyes were slightly red, "Unexpectedly, Uncle Jiu could stand up for me."

Tao Yao said: "You are his niece, you are being bullied, naturally he can't just sit back and watch, besides, that Xu Qingzhan is indeed guilty of a heinous crime, he has harmed many girls from good families, and he deserves it."
