Chapter 106: The Dutiful Daughter, Lu Chao Chao

This novel is translated and hosted on bcatranslation.

“Who… who did you call your father?” Madam Xu stared at Lu Jing Yao in disbelief.

Lu Jing Yao snorted softly, saying, “The Marquis is my father! I am not an illegitimate child! I am the Marquis’s legitimate daughter!” With the mind of an adult, Lu Jing Yao seized the opportunity to assert her status.

The room fell silent as everyone stared at her in shock, including Madam Xu, who looked as if she had been struck by lightning, swaying unsteadily.

“Pei Jiao Jiao is actually the Marquis’s mistress? Then… Lu Jing Yao and Lu Jing Huai are his biological children? No wonder the Marquis has promoted Lu Jing Huai so much; he is a blood relative of the Lu family!” The crowd murmured in astonishment, recalling that Lu Jing Huai did resemble the Lu family children, confirming they were indeed brothers.

Sympathy crept into the eyes of the onlookers as they looked at Madam Xu. Eighteen years of affection had turned out to be a lie. The capital’s affectionate couple was actually so disgraceful.

“Scoundrel! Hypocrite!” The grand princess scowled, publicly reprimanding him. She had long suspected the truth, but Madam Xu had been too deeply entangled to see it. Now, seeing this, Madam Xu likely had made up her mind.

Lu Yuan Ze dared not meet Madam Xu’s tearful eyes. Today, everyone was supposed to catch Madam Xu in the act, but the tables had turned.

“Penis captivus. He’s stuck because it’s too big! This will cause death if not treated promptly!” someone knowledgeable about medicine casually remarked, causing Lu Yuan Ze to nearly faint from shock. The mere thought of dying on a woman’s belly made Lu Yuan Ze wish he were dead.

Pei Jiao Jiao covered her face, mortified. She had wanted to rise in status, but not like this!

Madam Xu fainted in front of everyone, leaving the mess behind as she collapsed, feeling utterly humiliated.

With Madam Xu unconscious, the crowd felt at a loss. Lu Wan Yi’s face alternated between green and white. “I… I’ll go get my mother,” she stammered, having never seen such a scene before and not daring to lift her head.

When the old lady was brought in, she was completely distraught. Seeing the two naked people, she hurriedly covered them with a quilt. “Fools!” she cursed under her breath. “Quickly, fetch a doctor, immediately.” Understanding the gravity of the situation, her old face trembled as she bowed deeply to everyone present. “Today’s incident happened suddenly. I hope all you esteemed guests can keep it to yourselves and not spread it outside. Nanny, see the guests out.”

How shameful! Her son and Pei Jiao Jiao were caught in bed, naked, and couldn’t even be separated. Attempting to do so abruptly could lead to sudden death. Despite her fondness for Pei Jiao Jiao, she now resented her. No matter how good Pei Jiao Jiao was, she couldn’t compare to her son. If her son died, she would lose everything, especially since her grandson hadn’t even passed the exams yet!

“Quickly take Jing Yao away; this is no place for her!” The old lady trembled with anger at the thought of word getting out. Only then did the maid carry Lu Jing Yao away, but knowing she was the Marquis’s illegitimate daughter, there was no longer the previous respect.

The entire Marquis’s residence was supported by Madam Xu. “Old Madam, the doctor is here,” announced a servant.

Despite her age, the old lady had to clean up her son’s mess. “Has Madam Xu woken up?” she asked, hoping Madam Xu would handle Lu Yuan Ze’s mess.

The nanny replied, “She woke up, but the Madam is crying almost to the point of fainting again, I’m afraid…”

The old lady was furious. “Useless! So what if the man sleeps with a woman? How can she be so scared? Can’t handle anything! Jiao Jiao has been a mistress for eighteen years, what more does she want? She occupies the position of the main wife, and her disabled son occupies the heir’s position, what is she dissatisfied with?”

Left with no choice, the old lady had to take over. However, it was embarrassing to talk about. The doctor, frightened and unsure, said, “This part is congested with blood; if pulled out abruptly, the Marquis might die on the spot.” The old lady panicked, but inviting the royal physician would be extremely disgraceful and might require reporting to the palace.

“Old Madam, if we don’t call the royal physician, the Marquis’s life will be at risk,” the nanny advised. Lu Yuan Ze, in immense pain, could barely imagine the gossip the next day. “Call the royal physician,” he gritted his teeth, regretting his reckless actions. He had only drunk two cups of wine, and his mind became muddled.

Pei Jiao Jiao, regaining her senses, was now terrified. “Marquis… Jiao Jiao…” After drinking that glass of wine, her desires were magnified to the extreme, leaving her in a daze. Lu Yuan Ze’s face was frosty, and Pei Jiao Jiao dared not mention it again.

By the time the royal physician arrived, it was already night. Exhausted, they finally separated the two after applying acupuncture. Lu Yuan Ze was nearly depleted, and seeing Pei Jiao Jiao now triggered a reflexive fear, reminding him of the embarrassment of being caught in the act.

As the Marquis’s residence fell into an eerie silence, Madam Xu sat by the bedside, her expression indifferent. “Start inventorying the dowry and all the expenses since entering the residence; find all the deeds,” she said softly.

“Madam, the Marquis’s residence was renovated by you. All the furniture, even the tea cups, were bought by you. That large pine tree in the yard was planted by you,” Deng Zhi noted, flipping through the account book. “Hmm, only these few walls belong to the Marquis’s residence!” Deng Zhi even looked forward to a separation, knowing the Marquis’s residence would be left with bare walls.

Madam Xu was ready for a sweeping victory.

And Lu Chao Chao… was like a weasel in a melon patch, unable to get any melons.

[What sex? What death? What are you all talking about? Is there something that the noble me cannot hear?!] she inwardly exclaimed, almost jumping up. Today, everyone seemed to know the same secret, except her!!

“Big Brother? What’s penis captivus? I want to hear!” she eagerly asked after stomping over to her brother in a huff.

Lu Yan Shu covered her ears, his face stern. “Chao Chao, this is not something you should know. Shh…” He did not want to taint her ears, even though he himself was shocked by their father’s actions.

Determined to find out, Lu Chao Chao sought out her second and third brothers, but they turned red upon hearing her question, utterly embarrassed.

The next morning, in the front yard, the old lady, despite her illness, reprimanded the servants, forbidding them to spread the incident. However, she missed Lu Chao Chao, who, followed by two maids, was riding a dog, wandering outside.

“Uncle, what is penis captivus?”

“Auntie, what is penis captivus?”

“Grandpa, my father has penis captivus.”

“Uncle, my father has penis captivus…”

The dutiful Chao Chao, while walking and asking, within half an hour, spread the news of Marquis Zhongyong and his mistress’s penis captivus escapade throughout the entire capital!
