Chapter 166: She wants to have a surrogate mother?

Gu Qingning: "During this period, has Linlang been behaving well?"

Granny Liao nodded. "She is always humble and submissive in front of the Second Young Master's wife and Bi Yue. She also never goes to the Second Young Master to compete for favor. Her presence is so low that people almost forget about her."

Gu Qingning: "Have someone keep an eye on her."

Feng and Shen Ruoying were busy planning their own affairs, and no one paid attention to Linlang.

But a concubine who is pregnant can remain safe and sound in the chaotic Duke's Mansion without having a sense of existence.

That in itself is something that cannot be ignored.

All in all, the baby in Linlang's belly is slightly older than Gu Qingning's baby.

If things go wrong, they will be born at about the same time in the future...

None of the women in the Duke's Mansion are content.

Gu Qingning had to be on guard.

The Duke's Mansion is bustling with activity today, with many guests gathered and toasting.

No matter how much Lu Hangzhi disliked Feng Yuaner, he couldn't disobey his mother Feng, and he couldn't let his maternal grandfather Feng family lose face.

He had no choice but to coax Shen Ruoying for a long time, “Ruoying, I’m just going to go through the motions and bring the person back. I’ll be back to accompany you in the evening.”

Just marrying a concubine caused such a big fuss. Shen Ruoying felt heartbroken when she saw this.

Feng Yuaner hasn't even entered the house yet and it's already like this. What will happen in the future?

But when she thought of today's big plan, she just swallowed the old blood and acted like a well-educated and sensible person.

"Hangzhi, I know I'm the only one in your heart, go ahead."

"Wait for me to come back." Lu Hangzhi leaned over and kissed her forehead before turning and leaving.

Looking at Lu Hangzhi, who was wearing a wedding gown and walking farther and farther away, Shen Ruoying's eyes were as cold as ice.

Aunt Li held her hand and consoled her:

"Girl, be patient. Once your 'legitimate child' is born, no woman will be able to surpass you."

"As long as you regain favor and gain a firm foothold in the Duke's Mansion, the Marquis' Mansion will also remember your kindness and stand on your side again."

Shen Ruoying understood her parents. They would only acknowledge her as their daughter if she was useful to them.

Although she hated such parents, the woman still had to rely on her mother's clan.

However, when she is able to stand in a high position in the future, she will definitely make her parents regret treating her like this!

Pressing the red corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, Shen Ruoying said coldly: "Let's go, pack up our things and leave through the back door."

"yes."

Shen Ruoying took Aunt Li and other confidants, packed up her belongings, left a farewell letter for Lu Hangzhi, and left.

As soon as she left, Mo Yu, who was squatting on the tree, jumped in, took the letter, turned around and jumped back to Songtao Pavilion, and reported the matter to Gu Qingning.

Songtao Pavilion.

Gu Qingning sat on the armchair, Mo Yu stood opposite her and said seriously:

"Second Young Master's wife, ran away, back door!"

Gu Qingning was not surprised.

According to the time, the other party should also take action.

During this period, Gu Qingning had someone keep an eye on her and discovered that Shen Ruoying had contacted Zhao Feiyang several times.

Combined with the fact that during this period of time, Shen Ruoying dragged Lu Hangzhi to party almost every night...

Granny Liao frowned, "What is she going to do?"

Logically, she should have reconciled with the second young master, but suddenly she left again.

Wouldn’t this mean all the previous efforts have been wasted?

At this moment, Mo Yu took out a letter from his arms.

Gu Qingning looked at the handwriting on it, "Left by Shen Ruoying?"

Mo Yu: “Yeah!”

Gu Qingning unfolded the letter and read its contents. She finally understood what Shen Ruoying was up to!

She folded the letter again and handed it to Mo Yu: "Put it back to its original place and don't let anyone find it."

Mo Yu: "Yeah!"

Looking at Grandma Liao who looked puzzled, Gu Qingning explained, "Chen Ruoying said in the letter that she felt bitter and uncomfortable when she saw Lu Hangzhi taking a concubine, and she planned to live in a farm in the countryside for a while."

"I hope Lu Hangzhi won't look for her during this period, and she doesn't want to embarrass her mother-in-law."

"Once she has recovered, she will come back."

Granny Liao: "She is trying to refuse but still welcome?"

Gu Qingning smiled and shook her head, "It's not like she's reluctant to accept. Shen Ruoying is the legal wife. If she wants to completely suppress all the concubines, she must give birth to a legitimate son."

Granny Liao: "But her body was damaged by the previous miscarriage. The court doctor said that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant in the short term."

Gu Qingning: "Yes, that's why she wants to go to the countryside to 'relax'. Only after leaving the Duke's Mansion can some things be done more conveniently."

Granny Liao understood everything and said in shock, "She actually plans to have a surrogate mother and bring back a legitimate child?"

Gu Qingning nodded and said with emotion: "There is a strength in Ruoying that I admire. No matter how desperate the situation is, she is always unwilling to give up."

However, she has limited vision and lacks strategy, but has lofty ambitions.

The most fatal thing is that she actually put all her efforts into how to win Lu Hangzhi's heart and gain a foothold in this mansion.

Gu Qingning shook her head.

So, in fact, I no longer consider Shen Ruoying as my opponent.

However, she was happy to see Shen Ruoying and Lu Hangzhi torturing each other and loving and hating each other.

Gu Qingning: "Granny Liao, have someone tell Lu Hangzhi that Shen Ruoying is gone."

Shen Ruoying can't leave.

Now that she's gone, there's no more dog-eat-dog fighting, and the Duke's Mansion isn't lively enough anymore.

Granny Liao was curious: "But will the Second Young Master abandon Miss Feng to chase after the Second Young Master's wife?"

Gu Qingning: "During this period, Shen Ruoying and Lu Hang have been in love, and their relationship has recovered a lot. He betrayed me for her in the beginning. Today, Feng Yuaner is just his co-wife."

As I said, in Lu Hangzhi's heart, Shen Ruoying is indeed the most important.

At least for now.

Sure enough, Lu Hangzhi, who had just picked up Feng Yuaner, rushed back to Shen Ruoying's yard as soon as he heard that Shen Ruoying was gone.

Saw the letter.

"Ruo Ying!"

Lu Hangzhi didn't even think twice and immediately took people out to chase after them.

Feng was so angry that her face turned black and she held her son's hand tightly.

"Hangzhi, today is your and Yuan'er's wedding day. No matter how much you pamper Shen Shi at other times, forget it. But today you can't let the Feng family down!"

"If you really leave like this, what are you going to do with Yuan'er in the future?"

"Her previous innocence has been given to you. Are you trying to force her to death?"

Feng Yuaner didn't want to marry Lu Hangzhi in the first place. The husband she had always wanted to marry was Lu Jingyu.

But since that incident, she lost her innocence, and the best outcome would be to become the co-wife of Hangzhi's cousin.

Her heart died as well, and she accepted her fate.

Moreover, Feng Yuaner thought that although she was a co-wife, she had her aunt to take care of her.

No matter what, cousin Hangzhi shouldn't treat her too badly.

But now, on this happy day, cousin Hangzhi is actually going to abandon her and go find that Shen Ruoying?

This was actually a deliberate attempt by Shen Ruoying to intimidate her!

Seeing that Lu Hangzhi was determined to leave, Feng Yuaner angrily smashed the round fan in her hand.

"Cousin Hangzhi, I don't care what you do to me in the future. But if you leave today to chase Chen Ruoying, I will hit my head against this pillar and die. You decide!"
