Chapter 301 Lu Jingyu's Test

When the maid opened the curtain, Qin Tingfang walked in leisurely.

After she came in, she bowed.

"Father, why did you call Tingfang here?"

Qin Kun raised his hand, "It's Jing Yu who wants to see you. He said he has something that has something to do with you."

Qin Tingfang saw Lu Jingyu sitting on the left side of the main seat and bowed again.

"Hello cousin, what do you want to talk to me about?"

She raised her head, and looked at Lu Jingyu steadily with her pair of sparkling eyes.

Today, Qin Tingfang wore a lotus pink silk skirt with a light pink jacket on the outside.

As bright as peach blossoms.

Describes behavior that is decent and generous.

It's so eye-catching.

But Lu Jingyu's eyes were indifferent. He turned his head and said to Lu Hangzhi, who was already dumbfounded and sitting next to him:

"Hangzhi, don't you want to thank her?"

When Lu Hangzhi was called, he came back to his senses from his surprise.

He walked up to Qin Tingfang and tried hard to find the shadow of the former Shen Ruoying in her.

Although the appearance is completely different.

But he found the temperament of the lady who once was famous throughout the capital.

"Ruoying..."

Qin Tingfang's eyes flashed with annoyance, but he still pretended to be calm and said:

"Who are you? Why do you call me Ruoying?"

"Also, what did you say just now, cousin, that you want to thank me? What did I do for you to thank me?"

Her tone, her voice, was strange and distant.

Lu Hangzhi became a little unsure again.

In fact, he wanted to reach out and touch the cheek of the person in front of him to find out whether her face was real.

However, although Lu Hangzhi was very excited, he was not confused yet.

If the person really wasn't Ruoying, he would probably be kicked out of the Ninth Prince's Mansion today.

Lu Hangzhi pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I lied to them. I came here because I admire you..."

Qin Kun sat in the first seat and said speechlessly:

"Lu Hangzhi, if I remember correctly, you are already a eunuch now, right?"

"You are worthy of admiring my adopted daughter?"

That's very rude.

After all, you shouldn't say short words in front of a lame person.

However, Qin Kun was afraid of Lu Jingyu, and he did not take Lu Hangzhi seriously.

After he finished speaking with a cold and handsome face, Lu Hangzhi froze completely and didn't know how he returned to his seat.

Without saying a word.

Looking at the devastated look.

What a good-for-nothing!

These words flashed through the minds of several people present at the same time.

Lu Jingyu looked at him and turned his gaze back.

"Uncle, let's continue talking about what we just talked about."

"I was tracking down some spies recently and found the dark market. Someone said that they saw County Master Tingfang appear in the dark market a few months ago."

As soon as Lu Jingyu finished speaking, except for Lu Hang who was confused, the expressions of the others changed slightly.

Qin Kun was the most patient. He shook his head.

"Maybe I saw it wrong. A few months ago, Tingfang hadn't come to Beijing yet."

Qin Tingfang also said: "The world is so big, there are so many people who look alike, maybe I am mistaken."

"If it is true, cousin, let that man confront me."

This father and daughter, who met halfway through their lives, sang in unison and had a very good understanding of each other.

They were just gambling, and Lu Jingyu was cheating them.

In fact, Lu Jingyu was indeed deceiving them. After checking many people, no one had seen Qin Tingfang in the dark market.

They were indeed very careful and cautious, leaving no evidence behind.

But the big reactions from several people proved that Lu Jingyu's guess was correct.

Today's test was very effective.

Qin Kun was still restless. His previous honesty was just an act for his father to see.

But he is now also cautious, and this can be used to his advantage.

During the next few cups of tea, Lu Jingyu continued to test things quietly.

The test made the three people in the room tremble with fear.

Even Qin Kun, who was the most cunning, had cold sweat on his forehead.

When the string in their hearts was about to break, Lu Jingyu bowed and said:

"I am sorry to bother you for a long time today, uncle. I will take my leave now."

Logically speaking, when it’s time to eat, one should be polite and ask for more food.

But Qin Kun was really worried that Lu Jingyu would agree immediately.

He didn't even try to be polite.

"Jingyu, my legs and feet are not convenient, so I won't see you off."

Lu Jingyu looked at Qin Tingfang.

Qin Tingfang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She actually wanted to send Lu Jingyu off.

You know, he is no longer the same as before.

When he was still the prince of the Duke's Mansion, she had already fallen in love with him, not to mention that he has become a prince now.

The next step is the prince...

But Qin Kun was worried that she would reveal the truth, so he said, "Tingfang, I still have something to tell you, you stay."

Qin Tingfang half-lowered his eyes and said obediently, "Yes, foster father."

Qiu Shui received Qin Kun's gaze, stood up and walked over, "Your Highness, please come this way. I will take you there."

Lu Jingyu nodded and finally left.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the room became relaxed.

In fact, Qiu Shui didn't dare to relax, she was even a little dazed.

However, there was no Lu Hangzhi who looked back every few steps.

But even if Lu Hangzhi didn't want to leave, he had no reason to stay.

So he could only look at Qin Tingfang eagerly before turning around and leaving.

Lu Jingyu didn't say anything along the way.

However, when they reached the door, Lu Jingyu suddenly said:

"Miss Qiushui, I heard that you have a younger brother."

Qiu Shui, who was always calm and composed, suddenly narrowed her eyes. She couldn't help but look at Lu Jingyu in surprise.

Even though she realized she had lost her composure, she couldn't help herself.

"Your Highness, why do you suddenly say that?"

Lu Jingyu: "Nothing, just asking if you have a younger brother."

Qiu Shui: "No, I have no brothers or sisters, no family."

Lu Jingyu: "Oh, that's a pity. I was thinking that Miss Qiushui is brave and resourceful. If she were a man, she could serve as an official in the court."

He dismissed this remark lightly and walked out.

Qiu Shui watched him get on the carriage, and the carriage gradually went away.

When she turned around, her palms were covered in cold sweat.

Lu Jingyu suddenly asked this, could it be that his brother was captured by him?

Did he capture his brother in order to make her betray the Ninth Prince?

No, she would never betray the Ninth Prince.

But my brother...

For some unknown reason, when Qiu Shui turned around and went back to the main room, he did not mention what Lu Jingyu said.

But she didn't look very good.

Qin Kun didn't notice it at first, but was frowning and said to Qin Tingfang:

"That Lu Hangzhi is a trouble."

Qin Tingfang didn't care, "Don't worry, foster father, Lu Hangzhi is just a useless idiot."

"I usually don't pay any attention to him. He won't find out anything."

Qin Kun: "Isn't it because you attacked Guangping Marquis' Mansion that they found out?"

"If you still want to be rich and powerful, don't act rashly in the future. Listen to me in everything!"

Qin Tingfang: "Yes, godfather."

Qin Kun waved his hand to let her go, and then he realized that Qiu Shui's expression was a little strange.

"Qiu Shui, what's wrong?"

Qiu Shui opened his mouth and shook his head, "It's nothing, I was just wondering what Lu Jingyu's intention was in coming here today."

Qin Kun gets angry when Lu Jingyu is mentioned.

"This kid is so real and fake, so true and so false, it really makes me speechless."

"However, Ajue told me not long ago that he had been eyeing the dark market for a long time and had arrested several people."

"Tell our people not to go to the dark market recently."

Qiu Shui: "What should I do with that person?"

Qin Kun: "You can go to the Cen Mansion. After all, it's too conspicuous to come to the Ninth Prince's Mansion. By the way, are you really okay? You don't look well."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Qiu Shui's face.

If it were usual, Qiu Shui would definitely be very shy.

But now her heart was in chaos.

She whispered, "There's still no news about my brother. I'm a little worried."

Qin Kun: "Don't worry, I'll send more people out to look for him."

Qiu Shui: "Yes."

Qin Kun suddenly stood up, reached out and took Qiu Shui into his arms.

He stroked her hair and said, "You haven't had a good rest during this period. You must take care of yourself. You can't get sick. This king needs you very much."

"Um."

Being held by Qin Kun, Qiu Shui's confusion gradually subsided.

However, a dark light flashed in Qin Kun's eyes.

Qiu Shui's younger brother is her weak spot.

However, as the most useful "knife" in his hand, how could it have any shortcomings?

So, he has already given instructions to his men.

Once we find the whereabouts of that guy, we will kill him quietly.

In this way, Qiu Shui will be loyal to him with all his strength in the future and will not have any worries.

But Qin Kun didn't know that Qiu Shui was still affected by Lu Jingyu's words.

Even started hiding it from him.

This is also another test from Lu Jingyu today.

If Qiu Shui would hide the truth from Qin Kun, it would prove that the trust between these two people might not be that inseparable.

Simply put, this trip to the Ninth Prince's Palace was quite fruitful.

"I just thought, could it be that the soul in the county lady's body now is Ruoying?"

Lu Jingyu, whose thoughts were interrupted, looked at Lu Hangzhi with a bit of disgust.

"You usually stay in the house, are you reading a storybook? I asked you to come up, not to listen to your nonsense."

“You just looked at it, is that person Shen Ruoying?”

Lu Hangzhi was confused. "The way he speaks, acts and looks are really like her. But his appearance is so strange."

Lu Jingyu: "Maybe there is a human skin mask."

Lu Hangzhi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Could it be that the county lady was really wearing a human skin mask, and after taking it off, Ruoying could be seen?

This was all Lu Jingyu reminded Lu Hangzhi of. He then reminded him of another thing.

"Someone has seen it. Your stepmother Zhao Jing has met the county lady privately. You can ask your stepmother whether the county lady is Shen Ruoying when you return to the mansion."

After hearing this, Lu Hangzhi became very excited.

"really?"

"You'll know when you go back and ask."

Lu Jingyu asked some more questions about Lu Changhui, and then sent him back to the Marquis Ping'an's Mansion.

He turned around and went home to see what his wife and daughter were doing.

But the result was nothing.

Although Xiao Xiyao was at home, being taken care of by her wet nurse, Gu Qingning was not at home.

Lu Jingyu: "Aunt Chen, where's Qing Ning?"
