Chapter 117 Did she bully you again?

In the past, Lu Jingyu always took the initiative during sex.

But this time it's different.

Gu Qingning was very enthusiastic.

On the one hand, she was grateful to Lu Jingyu, and on the other hand, the strong emotions that had been pent up in her heart had been suppressed for too long.

At the most critical moment, Gu Qingning opened her eyes and looked at the dancing candlelight on the candlestick.

Concubine Su, I don’t care what your reason is for harming my family.

I will never let you go.

I won’t let you go even if I die!

It seems unrealistic for a mayfly to shake a big tree at first glance, but if it is human-powered, it will persist.

There will always be a day of success!

**

After waking up the next day, Lu Jingyu briefly told Gu Qingning about his plan.

"We can't rush the matter of revenge. Lu Yun's confession alone cannot completely expose Concubine Su's crimes to the public. Not to mention, His Majesty still dotes on Concubine Su."

Gu Qingning had calmed down and nodded.

"But if you don't release Lu Yun, it will alert Sun Jiufeng."

Lu Yun cannot be released, he is an important witness.

However, if we don't release it, it will indeed alert the enemy.

Lu Jingyu: "I have already figured out how he passed on information to Sun Jiufeng. I will ask him to go to the countryside to manage the manor of the Duke of Guan because he is old and in poor health. He has also told Sun Jiufeng about this before."

When the time comes, lock the person up and bring him out when he is useful.

Gu Qingning: "Empress Su used Lu Yun to harm you before. If Lu Yun proposed to 'leave the capital' now, would Concubine Su not agree?"

After all, this is a very useful chess piece.

Lu Jingyu: "Then let the chess piece think that he is about to be exposed and get scared."

Duke Qin is about to step down, and Lu Jingyu is about to become the new Duke Qin.

At this time, Lu Yun can be allowed to return to his village in the countryside, which is also a legitimate reason.

As expected, in Yikun Palace, Concubine Su looked at Sun Jiufeng angrily.

"What? Your brother is going to live in the country farm of the Duke's Mansion? How old is he? Why is he retiring so early?"

Sun Jiufeng whispered, "My brother was worried that the poisoning of the Duke would be exposed, and now Duke Qin is stepping down and letting Lu Jingyu become the new Duke. Lu Jingyu won't trust him either."

In fact, it is true.

Lu Yun is Duke Qin's confidant. After Lu Jingyu inherits the title, he will definitely train his confidant to be the housekeeper.

Concubine Su's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, "What a pity, if I had known earlier, I shouldn't have used a slow-acting poison. I should have directly given Lu Jingyu a deadly poison!"

As long as this man is alive, she will feel uneasy!

Sun Jiufeng: "But don't worry, Madam. Although my brother left the Duke's Mansion, he left behind some confidants who can be used. I let these people lie dormant and wait for the critical moment to use them."

Concubine Su nodded, and her expression looked better.

At this time in the Duke's Mansion, Duke Qin Lu Changhui said to everyone:

"I have finally found a reliable person to take over the position of Dali Temple Minister. In addition, Jingyu will bring Qingning to the palace tomorrow to express his gratitude and take over the position of Duke of Qin. Hangzhi has also started his post in the Ministry of Rites. It is a happy event for our Duke's Mansion."

After hearing this, Feng's mouth twitched.

Except for the last thing about Hangzhi, all other things were not happy events for her!

Lu Jingyu and Gu Qingning nodded in agreement.

Lu Hangzhi, who was sitting next to them, looked at the two of them with complicated eyes.

Lu Jingyu looked over, and Lu Hangzhi had to turn his head away in embarrassment.

Regardless of how the others felt, Duke Qin was very happy. He planned to enjoy his old age and said to Feng:

"Our Duke's Mansion has a beautiful manor in the suburbs of Beijing. When the weather gets warmer, we can stay there for a while."

Feng was not willing to go.

But she didn't dare to say it directly, but smiled and said:

"There's no rush for this. Didn't you say a few days ago that His Majesty would go to the Royal Countryside to make up for the spring hunt and the Royal Hot Spring Palace after the selection?"

Duke Qin: "It is true. I will still attend this time. Jing Yuhangzhi, you should also prepare and go there."

"Yes, father."

Duke Qin will not only bring Feng, but also two concubines.

As for Lu Jingyu's situation in Songtao Pavilion, it is even simpler. He has no concubines, only his wife, Gu Qingning.

Lu Hangzhi was at a loss as to who to take with him.

Gu Qingning and Lu Jingyu didn't care about the affairs of Cuiwei Pavilion. They planned to go back quickly and have a good discussion.

Because this time when I go hunting with the emperor, I will definitely run into Concubine Su!

Perhaps I can take this opportunity to test Sun Jiufeng.

But Feng suddenly said, "Qing Ning, walk with me. I have something to tell you."

Lu Jingyu frowned and was about to speak when Gu Qingning patted his hand and said, "You go back first. I'll be back later."

"Um."

Gu Qingning turned around and smiled gently at Feng, "Mother, the peonies in the garden are about to bloom. Shall we go over and take a look?"

"OK."

Feng nodded and took Gu Qingning to the peony garden.

While walking in the garden, Feng said, "I have asked Hangzhi to write a divorce letter and sent it to the Guangping Marquis's residence. When I go with the emperor to participate in the hunting, you can help me keep an eye on those unmarried noble ladies."

Gu Qingning: "Mother, are you going to help the Second Young Master choose a wife?"

Feng: "Yes, seeing how good your relationship is with Jingyu now, how sad Hangzhi must be in your heart?"

"He has been hurt so badly by Shen Ruoying, no matter what, I have to find him a virtuous, kind, and generous wife!"

"Actually, my requirements are not high. As long as the other person's status is worthy of Hangzhi and his character is good, that's enough."

Gu Qingning: "..."

Although the marriage exchange was initiated by Shen Ruoying, does Lu Hangzhi have no responsibility at all for this matter?

After all, it takes two to tango.

What's more, she is in a good relationship with Lu Jingyu now, so what right do you, Lu Hangzhi, have to feel bad?

The chaos in Lu Hangzhi's backyard now was not caused by Shen Ruoying, in fact, it was all his own fault!

Gu Qingning said tactfully: "Mother, I don't know many noble ladies, and I don't know what their character is like."

Feng said with disdain, "Your background is really your weakness. But it's okay. You have an imperial decree, and you know Princess Jiamin. If you curry favor with Princess Jiamin, other noble ladies will get close to her, and you will naturally get to know others."

This is really insulting.

Chen Fenfang, who was standing next to her, frowned slightly after hearing this.

Gu Qingning said calmly: "Yes."

Feng was very satisfied with her attitude. She snorted and turned away.

She had to go back quickly and tell Hangzhi that she should take Bi Yue with her when she went to the royal palace this time.

Gu Qingning returned to Songtao Pavilion quietly. Lu Jingyu looked concerned and asked, "Did mother bully you again?"

Gu Qingning shook her head.

Chen Fenfang next to her couldn't help it, she said quickly:

"The Duke's wife belittles Madam, and at the same time asks Madam to help the Second Young Master find a suitable unmarried noblewoman to be his legal wife! This kind of thing keeps happening. No matter what, the Duke's wife just doesn't like Madam."

"I don't care, really." Gu Qingning really didn't care much about Feng.

Especially, this person is not Lu Jingyu’s biological mother.

Lu Jingyu held her hand and said, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged. Although she is the elder, if she does something wrong, you still have to speak up. If things really get out of hand, I'll back you up. Oh, by the way, I'll take you to a place tomorrow."

Gu Qingning: "Where are you going?"
