Chapter 219 Have you confessed everything?

Mrs. Feng was indeed reluctant to let her son move out.

If my son moves out, wouldn't things be even more chaotic if there's no one in charge of his house?

But Feng was reluctant to move out.

If she moves out, wouldn't the main courtyard become the domain of that bitch Zhao Jing?

Thinking of this, Feng immediately said decisively:

"You are right, Duke. Qing Ning is a good housekeeper. She has the final say in the Duke's Mansion."

"When I get better, I will learn from her!"

When a mother-in-law says that she wants to learn how to manage the household from her daughter-in-law, this is considered to be a very humble attitude.

The expression on Duke Qin's face improved slightly.

He said earnestly: "It is a blessing for our Duke's Mansion that Jingyu and his wife are capable. They will stand tall in the future, and the Duke's Mansion will become more and more glorious."

"You should take a long-term view. Having a powerful official as your brother is good for Hangzhi."

"Remember to be nicer to Qing Ning in the future. The future of our Duke's Mansion still depends on them and their husbands to carry it forward."

Although Feng nodded, she didn't agree in her heart.

She still believed that if there was no Lu Jingyu, her family Hangzhi would definitely be more glorious.

It was all because Lu Jingyu’s brilliance was too dazzling, completely overshadowing their Hangzhi, making it impossible for others to see Hangzhi’s good points!

But Feng didn't continue to mention this, but asked curiously:

"By the way, have you found Sister Zhao's son? What did Jingzhao Yin say?"

Duke Qin sighed, "They said they have searched the entire city, but there is still no news."

Feng was so happy to hear this that the corners of her mouth could not help but rise, and she was almost seen by Duke Qin again.

However, her good mood did not last more than half a day, as Zhao Jing's son Sun Cheng came back.

To be more precise, he came back on his own.

Looking at her son who had a bruised face and gained a lot of weight, Zhao Jing was worried and kept asking questions.

"Ah Cheng, what happened? Who captured you?"

Although Sun Cheng was imprisoned during this period, he had enough food to eat. Then the other party said that they had arrested the wrong person and compensated him with a full 500 taels of silver!

Sun Cheng was just thinking about going to the gambling house to try his luck, so he quickly said, "Mother, I just went out of town with a friend. I was in a hurry and forgot to tell you."

"Then the wound on your face..."

"I just fell down accidentally while riding a horse. I'm fine. Mom, I have to go back to the academy to study and make up for the lessons I missed during this period. I'm leaving now."

Although Zhao Jing was worried, she didn't want to delay her son's studies.

She nodded, gave some earnest instructions, and watched her son leave.

But what Zhao Jing didn't know was that her son Sun Cheng left the Duke's Mansion, turned a corner, and went to the gambling house.

Gu Qingning slept for a long time. When she woke up, she found Wei Shuhe sleeping beside her.

Hearing the slight sound, Wei Shuhe had already woken up.

"Lime, how do you feel?"

"It's okay, Shu He, how long have I slept..."

Hearing her hoarse voice, Wei Shuhe helped her sit up.

"You slept for two days and two nights, but you're fine now. You need to rest well from now on."

Gu Qingning noticed a wound on Wei Shuhe's cheek and immediately said nervously:

"What happened to your face? By the way, the fire was put out later. What happened next? How did the assassin get in?"

After the assassin was subdued by Lu Jingyu and his men, Gu Qingning relaxed and fainted.

I don’t know a lot of things.

Wei Shuhe: "It was Banxia who discovered that there was something wrong with the maid Wang Yue. I happened to be going to give you acupuncture. That 'Wang Yue' knocked me against the wall and I passed out. The wound on my face was not serious and will not leave a scar."

"Banxia is more seriously injured. Her internal organs were damaged. But don't worry, her life is not in danger. She will recover as soon as she recuperates."

"The assassin disguised himself as Wang Yue, and that's how he fooled all of us."

In addition, the fire set by Linlang caused a riot.

Gu Qingning: "Where's Wang Yue? Is she okay?"

Wang Yue is the daughter of Nanny Wang, the old lady of Songtao Pavilion. Both mother and daughter are good cooks and are very loyal to Songtao Pavilion.

Wei Shuhe said, "We found him. He was knocked unconscious, his hands and feet were tied, and he was thrown under the firewood pile in the woodshed. He was starved for two days, but fortunately his life is not in danger."

After hearing this, Gu Qingning felt slightly relieved.

When we get back, we'll have to ask someone to comfort them.

Gu Qingning: "I don't know who this assassin belongs to."

Wei Shuhe: "Don't worry about it. The young master is interrogating those people. What you need to do now is to take good care of yourself."

Gu Qingning nodded and turned to look at the child beside her.

The little guy was surprisingly carefree and slept very soundly.

Gu Qingning felt soft-hearted when she saw this.

No matter what, the child is fine, which is better than anything else.

Lu Jingyu is interrogating the few people he has captured.

Linlang's maid Cuiying was the first to confess.

"We, we didn't intend to harm the eldest young lady. We just wanted to exchange the child she gave birth to."

It was only after they lit the fire that they found out that Gu Qingning had only given birth to a daughter.

If they had known that she was giving birth to a daughter, they wouldn't have had to take such a risk this time.

Cuiying only knew that the person behind the scenes was Sister Qiu mentioned by Linlang, and she knew nothing else.

"Sister Qiu saved Miss Linlang's life, and Miss Linlang brought me out of the sea of ​​suffering."

"I really don't know anything else."

As for the other servants who brought the children to the corner gate, they were all Lu Yun's subordinates.

This time they received news from Sun Jiufeng.

Because Lu Yun had been controlled by Lu Jingyu a long time ago, the things that Sun Jiufeng sent messages to these people and asked them to cooperate with Linlang were always under Lu Jingyu's nose.

Although Linlang insisted on not telling who Sister Qiu was, Lu Jingyu no longer needed to ask.

"The female staff member beside the Ninth Prince is called Qiu Shui. It's interesting to say that she seems to have saved many sisters."

Linlang's eyes narrowed, but she remained stubborn and silent.

Lu Jingyu looked down at her, "You were tricked into saving my life, and then you fought for her wholeheartedly. Should I say you are loyal or stupid?"

Although Linlang hadn't spoken yet, a hint of hesitation flashed across her brows.

Lu Jingyu didn't say anything else, but waved his hand and asked someone to take Linlang away first.

The most difficult person to interrogate is the female assassin.

Before leaving, Linlang knelt on the ground and begged, "Young Master, my son is innocent, and there is no good person in Cuiwei Pavilion. Who knows how many more troubles will happen in the future."

"Since my son is the eldest grandson of the Duke's Mansion, can you ask the eldest young lady to help educate her?"

"I know that the eldest young lady is kind-hearted and knows right from wrong."

Lu Jingyu sneered.

"Since you trust Qing Ning so much, why do you want to hurt her?"

"You don't even need to ask Qing Ning about this matter. I can just reject you directly."

What are they all?

How could he do something to hurt his daughter Qing Ning and then ask her to help raise the child?

Lu Jingyu was filled with rage and ordered someone to drag Linlang away.

Finally, the female assassin was brought up.

The poison between the female assassin's teeth had been dug out. She had no strength left in her body and couldn't even commit suicide.

But no matter how severely she was tortured, she remained silent.

Su Ziyuan frowned and said, "It's a pity that the drug that made her speak the truth is gone, otherwise I would definitely be able to make her speak."

Lu Jingyu: "The other party's goal is to prevent my child from being born. The people of Concubine Su and the Ninth Prince have been arrested, so the remaining one is the mastermind behind the scenes."

Su Ziyuan: "Master, you mean the Sixth Prince?"

The female assassin's eyes narrowed.

But she quickly closed her eyes to prevent her emotions from revealing themselves.

Lu Jingyu noticed all her little movements and continued:

"Her martial arts routines are exactly the same as those used by the group of people who assassinated His Majesty in the hunting grounds before."

"So, there's no need to ask, the person behind her is..."

The female assassin suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Young Master, you don't have to guess, just kill me!"

Her throat was injured by Gu Qingning's silver needle, and her voice was very hoarse at this time.

But seeing her attitude, Lu Jingyu had an idea in his mind.

"Ziyuan, take the person away and keep him under strict watch. Don't let anyone die."

"yes."

"But to the outside world, we say that these people committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

The female assassin was stunned and looked at Lu Jingyu in surprise, not understanding his intention.

She struggled to do something.

But Su Ziyuan nodded immediately, knocked the man unconscious and took him away.

All outsiders saw was several bloody "corpses" being carried out.

Everyone in the Duke's Mansion was silent.

This scene happened to be seen by Lu Hangzhi.

He already knew what Linlang had done, and was immediately shocked. He staggered and blocked his elder brother Lu Jingyu's way.

"Brother, you, you really killed Linlang?"

Lu Jingyu looked at him coldly, "I didn't kill her. She just refused to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, and then she ran into a wall and died."

Lu Hangzhi looked stunned.

In fact, he still cares about Linlang.

After all, during the time when he and Shen Ruoying were arguing, every time he went to Yixianglou, it was Linlang who accompanied him gently.

Later, Linlang gave herself to him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have welcomed her back to the Duke's Mansion without caring about anything.

But if he is told now that Linlang approached him on purpose and entered the Duke's Mansion on purpose...is her purpose to attack her eldest brother's family?

Was he being completely taken advantage of?

There were some things Lu Hangzhi couldn't accept.

He said with difficulty: "Brother, is there any misunderstanding here?"

Lu Jingyu: "It's true that she set fire to Qing Ning and the child. It's also true that she committed suicide out of fear of the crime. Do you think there is any misunderstanding here?"

"Could it be that you instructed her to harm Qing Ning and the child?"

Lu Hangzhi was shocked. He said excitedly, "I didn't! Brother, how could I harm Qing Ning..."

Lu Jingyu glanced over with a stern gaze and his voice was cold.

"Lu Hangzhi, why don't you try calling your sister-in-law by her maiden name again?"
