This made Lu Xiao very upset; he felt a suffocating pressure in his chest as if something was out of control.
Luo Ning wouldn't let him enter the courtyard; he felt she did it on purpose to annoy him.
She wanted to deceive him, but he refused to comply with her wishes.
The so-called suggestion to sleep with other women must have been another way to provoke him.
Thus, he actually turned around and went to the concubine's courtyard—although he did not sleep with the concubine, he stayed in the courtyard.
Luo Ning received the news immediately. Far from being angry, she happily went to bed.
The next day, she even had someone send a message to the Imperial Concubine in the palace, saying that the Prince had favored a concubine and might soon have offspring.
The Imperial Concubine in the palace was very pleased and soon sent gifts to Luo Ning and that concubine.
