Chapter 193 Could it be that he had someone do it?

Could it be that she just mentioned her engagement with Lu Hangzhi, and Lu Jingyu was a little bothered?

But it is true after all.

Moreover, Lu Jingyu had been engaged to Shen Ruoying before, and their marriage was halfway through when it was interrupted...

"Shen Qi, it seems he has returned to Beijing now."

Lu Jingyu's calm voice was heard in the darkness.

Lu Jingyu was indeed a little jealous about the fact that Hangzhi and Qingning were engaged.

But he also knew that if Hangzhi had not been obsessed and wanted to marry the selfish Shen Ruoying, he and Qing Ning would not have had this fate.

After all, we have to thank Hangzhi and the others.

Therefore, Lu Jingyu was actually more angry that Shen Qi dared to covet Qing Ning.

Among all the people in Guangping Marquis's Mansion, only Old Madam Shen has some brains, but she is no match for the whole bunch of bad guys.

Gu Qingning continued his words, "Yes, Guangping Marquis Mansion helped Shen Qi find a way to get a fifth-rank official position, but he was later sent out. Now he has finally found a way to return to Beijing, and it seems that he has joined the Ministry of Rites."

He was actually in the same place as Lu Hangzhi.

However, the two of them are truly "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick". They do not hold high official positions. To outsiders, they are just sons of nobles who are just hanging around in the Ministry of Rites.

Lu Jingyu reached out and held Gu Qingning in his arms with a distressed look, "Qingning, you were frightened today, go to bed early."

Gu Qingning didn't expect that he would not continue talking about this topic.

She did feel a little sleepy, so she snuggled in Lu Jingyu's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Because Gu Qingning was "frightened", the next day Feng sent someone to ask hypocritically if she was feeling unwell.

Biyun: "Madam said that if you are not feeling well, she can come and take care of the affairs of the mansion during this period. When you are well again, or after you give birth, she will return the keys and account books to you."

In fact, Feng also knew that she couldn't get the power of housekeeper.

So this is purely to disgust Gu Qingning?

Then just go back feeling sick.

Gu Qingning: "I'm sorry to bother you, mother. I'm fine. But why do I feel like mother is looking forward to something happening to me? Could it be that she instructed Ruoying to do what happened yesterday?"

Biyun immediately knelt down and said, "Madam, you have wronged me. I care about you very much. What happened yesterday has nothing to do with me."

Gu Qingning smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I was just joking."

Biyun didn't dare to stay any longer. She said a few words and left quickly.

Granny Liao came over and said speechlessly, "Madam, why won't you calm down? Isn't Aunt Zhao enough for her to fight with?"

Gu Qingning: "Feng Shi is actually not a simple person. Just look at the other two concubines in the mansion. They have never been pregnant. You can see her methods."

Granny Liao: "It seems that she is definitely unwilling to let you take over the management of the house."

Gu Qingning smiled faintly.

In fact, no matter whether it is Feng or Shen Ruoying, as long as they don't make trouble.

In the future, the management rights of the Duke's Mansion will be given to them.

Unfortunately, neither of them knew how to write the word "Xiao Ting".

In the end, it is estimated that others will benefit from it.

Banxia knocked on the door and came in. "Madam, Aunt Zhao sent over some steamed cheese with sugar, saying that she made it herself."

Gu Qingning: "Stay and thank Aunt Zhao for me."

Then she gave the things to Banxia and the others as rewards.

That thing was too sweet and sticky, Gu Qingning didn’t like it, and now she was very cautious about what she ate.

As for Zhao Jing’s show of goodwill?

Of course she accepted it all.

Because this will make Feng feel insecure and worried about gains and losses.

When Feng found out, she was very angry and smashed the teacup.

"Zhao Jing, that bitch, actually tried to curry favor with a junior. She's really accomplished!"

Biyun sighed beside her.

The eldest young lady is in charge now, so it is completely right for Aunt Zhao to curry favor with her. There is nothing wrong with that.

A few days later, the news that Gu Qingning had been "frightened" spread.

Nalan Zhu'er and Princess Jiamin came to visit her together.

Gu Qingning was surprised but not surprised that these two little ancestors came together. She came out personally to welcome them into Songtao Pavilion.

Princess Jiamin said, "I heard that Shen Yanran blamed you for Ouyang Rui's rejection of her?"

Gu Qingning: "I was foolish enough to be instigated and used by others, that's all."

Princess Jiamin: "Luckily you didn't get hurt, otherwise I wouldn't have forgiven her. I heard she was sent to a nunnery? I'll have someone put a few more mice in her room later!"

Gu Qingning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Not really."

Nalan Zhu'er only heard that Gu Qingning was frightened, but she didn't know that this matter was related to Ouyang Rui. She looked curious.

"Then why did Ouyang Rui reject Shen Yanran?"

In fact, she also admired Ouyang Rui a little, but she didn't have a good impression of him.

Appreciation means knowing that the other person is excellent, but no matter how excellent he or she is, he or she is not the type you like, so you don’t feel anything.

There was no choice during the ring competition.

As soon as Nalan Zhuer said this, Princess Jiamin suddenly felt embarrassed.

Gu Qingning smiled and helped her out, "Lord Ouyang probably didn't like Shen Yanran, so he refused. And the Shen family had a grudge against me before, so they just blamed me."

Nalan Zhu'er: "It's just letting her become a nun, that's too good of a deal for her! Releasing a few mice is not enough, how about releasing a few snakes in her house?"

Gu Qingning was slightly stunned and quickly stopped her from thinking this.

I finally understand how Nalan Zhu'er and Princess Jiamin became acquainted with each other.

Princess Jiamin suddenly thought of something and smiled mysteriously.

"Qing Ning, you may not know this yet, but it is said that Shen Qi, the son of the Marquis of Guangping, was beaten up when he came out of Yixiang Tower one day. His face was swollen and his nose was bruised. The murderer has not been found until now."

Gu Qingning: "There is also this matter?"

Somehow, she inexplicably remembered Lu Jingyu's reaction that night.

Could it be that he had someone do it?

Who would have thought that at this time, Princess Jiamin said: "You don't know yet? I thought Lu Jingyu had someone do it to vent your anger!"

Gu Qingning quickly said, "The young master shouldn't do such a childish thing."

Nalan Zhu'er added, "Lu Jingyu is very cruel and ruthless. If he really did it, it would not be as simple as a beating. He would at least have to be chopped into pieces, right?"

Gu Qingning: "..."

In the hearts of the people of Great Chu, Lu Jingyu is a god of war, but in the eyes of the people of Southern Xinjiang, he might be a ferocious monster.

Several young sisters started talking about Nalan Zhuer's marriage again.

Princess Jiamin asked bluntly, "What do you like about Cen Jue?"

Nalan Zhu'er: "He is well-mannered, talented, and handsome. Why can't I like him?"

Princess Jiamin: "If you are so outstanding, why have you been hiding your incompetence for so many years?"

Nalan Zhu'er: "Maybe you are waiting for me?"

Princess Jiamin: "..."

Gu Qingning was still thinking about the letter from the Ninth Princess, and later Bai Lansheng never sent her any other news.

Then Nalan Zhuer said, "Cen Jue is amazing. In a few days, the three major academies will have a backgammon meeting and will invite the past champions. He will definitely shine at that time."

When Nalan Zhuer talked about Cen Jue, her eyes lit up.

Princess Jiamin: "Ouyang Rui was the top scholar back then, he will definitely go too."

Nalan Zhuer: "That's because Cen Jue is more powerful."

Princess Jiamin: "That's not necessarily true. Ouyang Rui is a man of both civil and military abilities."

Nalan Zhu'er: "Hey, that's not right. Why do you keep speaking for Ouyang Rui?"

The two of them argued until their faces turned red, and Nalan Zhu'er suddenly realized the key point and vaguely realized something.

Princess Jiamin's face had already blushed.

Nalan Zhu'er was shocked: "Oh my God, you are not in love with Ouyang Rui, are you?"

Princess Jiamin was a little annoyed, "Why not? He's not married yet and I'm not married yet. Besides, didn't you choose him at the beginning? Why don't you let others choose?"

Nalan Zhu'er changed the subject, "No, you have good taste. I admit that Lord Ouyang is quite good, but he is just not my type."

Princess Jiamin was a little shy when she was suddenly praised.

Then Nalan Zhuer turned her head, glanced at Gu Qingning who was watching nearby, and added, "Among the three of us, Qingning has the worst taste!"

Gu Qingning: "..."

Boomerang, it hurts so much.

It's also laughable.

The two little ancestors did not stay in the mansion for too long. They asked Gu Qingning to have a good rest and then left.

But before leaving, he also said that there would be a backgammon competition in a few days, and if Gu Qingning was free, he could come and watch the fun.

Gu Qingning agreed.

These two people did not come empty-handed. After all, they were visiting Gu Qingning, so they sent someone to deliver a bunch of things.

Chen Fenfang came to ask, "Madam, where are all these supplements and cloths received?"

Gu Qingning: "They are all in my private library."

Chen Fenfang was a little embarrassed, "Madam, your private vault is full and there is no more space."

Gu Qingning: "..."

I haven't thought about this matter.

However, ever since she married Lu Jingyu, she has never stopped receiving rewards.

Later, rewards for Concubine Rou and hypocritical rewards for Concubine Su were added.

In addition, from last year to this year, the harvest from her own private shop has doubled.

In addition, Lu Jingyu gave her his personal property to manage, and the monthly income, as well as various gifts...

Songtao Pavilion is not big, and the warehouse can’t hold it all.

Gu Qingning: "Go and have someone clean it up first, and I'll arrange a new place for you later."

"yes."

That evening, when Lu Jingyu came back, Gu Qingning brought up the matter after the couple had dinner.

Lu Jingyu: "That's easy. The house at the easternmost end of Yongxing Street has been renovated and the warehouses are empty. We can have people move most of our private property there. There are people guarding it too."

Gu Qingning nodded, "Keep a low profile?"

Lu Jingyu nodded, "No need to let them know."

Gu Qingning also didn't want Feng and the others to know about it, so even if anything else happened, the matter was settled.

Gu Qingning talked about what Princess Jiamin and Nalan Zhuer had said during the day.

She said in a relaxed tone: "I heard that Shen Qi was beaten up. It's really gratifying. They even speculated that you had someone beat you up. How is that possible?"
