Chapter 3 Do Not Look

Chen Fenfang spat, "It was that Shen Ruoying who saw that you were in trouble and didn't want to be a widow, so she hooked up with the second young master. The Duke's wife has always doted on the second young master, and Miss Gu is just an orphan living in the Guangping Marquis's mansion, she has no say, and in the end it became like this."

Then Shen Ruoying is still the most noble lady in the capital?

That’s it?

Although I never thought that the other party would remain a widow for the young master.

But it is really speechless that she is so impatient to remarry the young master's younger brother, especially when the second young master is about to get married.

Chen Fenfang looked at the people in front of her with distress, "Young Master, they are going too far!"

Lu Jingyu's expression did not change, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

He asked Chen Fenfang some more questions about the past six months, then got up and went to the dormitory in the back.

Red lanterns along the way are bright and dazzling.

Lu Jingyu still remembered that the day he went to the battlefield, the entire Songtao Pavilion was decorated in such fiery red.

However, the bride had just been brought in and before the wedding ceremony, he received an order to go to the battlefield.

But who would have thought that so many things would happen later.

Now that he is back alive, the bride has been replaced?

Lu Jingyu walked past the sleeping maid and entered the bedroom.

All other candles were extinguished, and only the dragon and phoenix candles on the high table were still dancing happily, making the entire bridal room dim and ambiguous.

The things on the table were hardly moved, but a small sip of the wedding wine was taken from one of the glasses.

Lu Jingyu took a quick glance and walked towards the bed covered by a red gauze curtain.

The bed curtain was lifted, and he could see the woman on the bed clearly.

Her skin is as white as snow, her eyebrows are beautiful, her black hair is messy...she is so beautiful.

At this moment, the beautiful woman in her sleep frowned slightly.

Perhaps because she was a little hot, she subconsciously pulled open her collar, revealing the jade-like whiteness of her neck.

Lu Jingyu's pupils narrowed when he saw this, and he suddenly put down the red gauze curtain in his hand.

His ears turned slightly red.

Do not look at anything inappropriate!

After a while, Lu Jingyu walked out.

When passing by the table, he paused, reached out, picked up another glass of wedding wine, and took a sip.

After leaving the bridal chamber, Lu Jingyu instructed Chen Fenfang, "Don't let anyone in the mansion know that I'm back for now. My father and the others are also keeping it a secret. I have to do something very important first."

Chen Fenfang quickly agreed.

The image of the person on the wedding bed flashed through Lu Jingyu’s mind, and he felt uneasy when he was sleeping.

He then began to remind her, "Gu is weak and pitiful. Before I come back, please take good care of her, Aunt Chen."

Chen Fenfang nodded and couldn't help but sighed, "Let's not talk about anything else. Seeing her former fiancé suddenly marry her cousin, the lady must be very upset."

Lu Jingyu thought about that beautiful face, and his eyes seemed to turn red.

Maybe he cried?

However, business was the most important thing at the moment, so he shook off these messy thoughts in his mind, explained some things to Chen Fenfang and Chuan Gu, then turned around and left the Duke's Mansion with the secret guards.

**

The next morning, Gu Qingning woke up slowly.

Looking at the red gauze curtain, she remembered that she was already married to the deceased young master.

Banxia heard the noise and brought people in to help Gu Qingning change clothes and comb her hair.

Looking at her slightly red eyes, Banxia asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Gu Qingning sighed, "The red dragon and phoenix candles burned all night, and the smell of the wax made my eyes uncomfortable."

Banxia: "Then let me give you some medicine?"

Gu Qingning: "It's okay, let's just leave it at that. Let me change my clothes and put on makeup first. I have to go serve tea to the Duke and the Duke's wife."

Even though the young master is no longer around, she still has to be considerate of some etiquette.

After she had washed and dressed, Gu Qingning passed by the table and looked at the two glasses of wedding wine, which were both less.

She raised her eyebrows.

Could it be that I drank every single cup last night?

Never mind, it's not important.

She turned to the maid and said, "Please clear away everything on the table, and also take down the red silk and other things in the room."

Maid: "Yes."

Gu Qingning went to the main hall and offered tea to Duke Qin Lu Changhui and Feng according to etiquette.

"Father, Mother, please have some tea."

"Okay, good girl." Lu Changhui looked at his eldest daughter-in-law with red eyes, and a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes.

He thought of his deceased eldest son and felt depressed.

Seeing this, Feng, who was standing next to her, immediately took out the jade bracelet she had prepared in advance and put it on Gu Qingning herself.

"Qing Ning, we are a family from now on. If Song Tao Pavilion needs anything, just tell me."

Gu Qingning nodded, "Yes, mother."

Just at this moment, voices were heard at the door.

"Ruoying, walk slowly, there's no rush."

"Hangzhi, let's hurry up. We can't keep our parents waiting for too long."

"It's okay, you're in good health."

The voice arrives before the person arrives.

However, the content of this conversation made Duke Qin in the room slightly unhappy.

Gu Qingning stood beside Feng, her eyes on her nose and her nose on her heart, her expression calm and composed.

The maid opened the curtain, and Shen Ruoying was supported by Lu Hangzhi shyly, and the couple walked in together.

Shen Ruoying originally looked very dignified and gentle, and now after getting married, her face was as white as a lotus, pink and tender.

And Lu Hangzhi followed her closely and protected her with great care.

Mrs. Feng was very satisfied with the good relationship between her son and daughter-in-law, but she thought that what Hangzhi had just said might make the Duke unhappy.

She glanced at the frowning Duke Qin and said quickly, "You two should serve tea."

"Yes, mother."

The two of them offered tea in turn, and Feng put the other bracelet on Shen Ruoying's wrist.

Duke Qin had already stood up and said, "I'm going to the study. You and your son can talk now."

"yes."

Everyone bowed slightly and watched Duke Qin leave.

When Gu Qingning heard Duke Qin say the word "study", her eyebrows moved slightly.

Duke Qin also had a copy of the handwritten copies of the case files of the Dali Temple over the years in his study.

I just don't know when she will have the chance to go and see it.

At this time, Shen Ruoying seemed to have just discovered Gu Qingning and came to her side with eyes full of concern.

"Qing Ning, how did you sleep last night? You've always been accustomed to your own bed since you were little. You suddenly moved to a new place. I'm afraid you're not used to it. Didn't you sleep well?"

As Shen Ruoying spoke, she deliberately tilted her snow-white neck to reveal the ambiguous red mark on her neck that was mostly covered.

Gu Qingning didn't say anything immediately.

Lu Hangzhi frowned and said unhappily, "Qing Ning, Ruoying is concerned about you, why don't you say anything?"

Lu Hangzhi felt annoyed with Gu Qingning in his heart.

After all, after the engagement, Lu Hangzhi was very satisfied with Gu Qingning's gentleness and enjoyed her admiration.

In vain, he still cared about her, worried that as an orphan, she would not be able to marry into a good family after her engagement was broken off. Ruoying was also generous and agreed to let him take Qingning as his concubine.

But what about the other party?

She would rather be a widow than be with him!

Now seeing Gu Qingning's calm look, he became even more furious.

But Shen Ruoying immediately blamed him, “Hangzhi, don’t talk about Qing Ning like that, there are green shadows in her eyes, she must not have slept well yesterday.”

Lu Hangzhi sneered, "You care about her, but she may not appreciate it!"

Gu Qingning: "Thank you for your concern. I'm used to living in Songtao Pavilion. I didn't say anything just now because I was thinking that you two should call me sister-in-law, but I don't have any gifts to change your name. How about you call me sister-in-law first, and I'll make up for it when I get back with the gifts?"
