Chapter 46 The young master is back?

No one knew who said this, but it seemed to have nailed everyone to the spot in an instant.

After hearing this, Feng lost her composure and dropped the teacup in her hand, breaking into pieces.

Shen Ruoying's eyes widened, and the next moment her abdomen began to ache. She swayed a bit, but Lu Hangzhi beside her did not reach out to support her.

Because Lu Hangzhi's mind was blank and his ears were buzzing.

There are many people who lose their composure.

Only Gu Qingning stood up, looking calm and composed.

She formed a sharp contrast with those people who lost their composure, and Lu Jingyu noticed her at a glance.

She is beautiful today too.

But because she was going to be a widow, the only time she wore the bright phoenix coronet and bridal robe was on her wedding day. Her outfit today was very plain and elegant, but it still couldn't hide her beauty.

I should wear more brightly colored clothes in the future.

Duke Qin looked at the dead silence. When he first met Jing Yu, he was also very excited and even lost his composure in front of His Majesty.

Now seeing these people losing their composure, Duke Qin felt a little more balanced.

He coughed lightly, "Jing Yu is not dead, he was seriously injured and fell off a cliff before being rescued. He came back after recovering from his injuries. Okay, everyone sit down."

Everybody sat down.

But their eyes all fell on Gu Qingning, and Lu Hangzhi and Chen Ruoying.

Tsk, let’s see how the young master would view this marriage exchange?

Lu Jingyu walked over and suddenly stopped because there was no seat for him here.

Duke Qin immediately said, "Someone come and give Jing Yu a seat!"

Lu Yun immediately brought someone to bring a chair and placed it next to Gu Qingning...

Lu Jingyu did not sit down, but asked quietly: "Father, what does this mean?"

He was a rough and rugged military commander, tall and strong by nature. After years of fighting on the battlefield, his innate powerful aura was so strong that people dared not even look directly at him.

Not to mention, Lu Hangzhi who felt guilty.

Feng was extremely nervous. She carefully tugged at the corner of Duke Qin's clothes. Duke Qin turned his head and glared at her.

However, this is not a good time to explain, after all, so many people are watching.

Duke Qin said earnestly, "Jingyu, please sit next to Qingning first. This matter is a long story. We will give you an explanation after dinner."

Lu Jingyu hummed and sat next to Gu Qingning.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Qingning originally wanted to secretly glance at Lu Jingyu, but found that he had a cold and unhappy look on his face, perfectly portraying the image of a resentful brother whose future wife was taken away by his own younger brother.

wrong.

Gu Qingning thought that Lu Jingyu might not be pretending.

He almost died, and when he came back he found that his future wife had become his brother's sister-in-law. Anyone would be very unhappy if this happened to them.

In addition, perhaps Lu Jingyu must have feelings for Shen Ruoying in his heart, after all, the two had been engaged for so long.

Gu Qingning half-lowered her eyes and stroked the porcelain white teacup with her fingers.

What if Lu Jingyu really can't let go of Shen Ruoying?

She didn't mind that Lu Jingyu had someone in his heart. The two of them got married by accident. But if the person in his heart was Chen Ruoying, it would be a bit uncomfortable.

No matter how turbulent everyone's heart was, at least on the surface, this New Year's Eve dinner was lively and enjoyable.

Duke Qin was drunk later. He said with emotion: "Jing Yu, it's a relief that you came back alive. It's a relief."

Lu Jingyu also raised his glass to Duke Qin, "Father, I'm sorry you were worried about me."

The eyes of others were also filled with tears. Even though their Lu family had the title of Duke's Mansion, it had been passed down for several generations, and the young master Lu Jingyu was the most promising.

As long as the main family can keep the title well and be valued by the emperor, then these Lu family branches will also live well.

After all, it's nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade.

As the New Year’s Eve dinner was coming to an end, fireworks began to be set off from the direction of the imperial palace. The sky was bright and many people were cheering.

But against the backdrop of the colorful lights, Gu Qingning discovered that the faces of the three Fengs did not look very good, and the smiles on their lips were stiff and fake.

Gu Qingning, however, gave a knowing smile.

The people from the Lu family's side branches gradually dispersed, while Feng and the others were worried and waiting to explain to Lu Jingyu.

Gu Qingning also followed quietly behind.

Just as they were about to enter the house, someone walked quickly towards them from behind.

Lu Xunye said aggrievedly: "Uncle, my nephew was poisoned in the Duke's Mansion today!"

After seeing Lu Xunye's fuss, Feng's face suddenly changed, but then she thought that Lu Xunye must have been poisoned by Gu Qingning.

Okay.

Let Gu Qingning be embarrassed, and then let the Duke know that she poisoned him. This way, the embarrassment of the showdown tonight will be diluted.

The target of the conflict will shift.

Shen Ruoying had been having abdominal pain for a long time. When she saw that Gu Qingning was about to get into trouble, the pain actually eased a lot.

Duke Qin: "Come in, tell me what's going on!"

As soon as Lu Xunye came in, he took out the cigarette ash and said, "Uncle, my clothes were wet by a maid today, so I wanted to change them. But I ended up entering a room where the incense had been tampered with. Then, I did something indecent!"

Duke Qin was so angry that his beard was shaking. "How could such a thing happen!"

Feng said quickly, "At that time, a maid said that Qing Ning was inside. Oh, it turned out that Qing Ning was not inside. I thought that the maid must have seen it wrong, but I didn't expect that someone had poisoned the room."

Duke Qin's puzzled gaze fell on Gu Qingning.

Gu Qingning said calmly, "Fifth Young Master, since you realize that something is wrong inside, why don't you come out?"

Lu Xunye: “I…”

Gu Qingning: "The door was locked from the inside. Fifth Master, you were still awake when you just entered, so why did you lock the door?"

Lu Xunye was suddenly speechless.

Gu Qingning walked to the incense ash and sniffed it. "I've smelled this scent before. That's right, it was the day when Aunt Yue had a miscarriage. The Second Young Master suddenly lost his mind. He looked like the Fifth Young Master today. Oh, and it's also very similar to how he looked with the Prince Consort in the palace."

They didn't dare to mention the matter of the prince consort.

Feng was dumbfounded. "What do you mean? Was the child in Biyue's belly murdered by someone?"

Gu Qingning: "The child in Biyue's belly was killed by the Second Young Master. But the Second Young Master lost his mind because he inhaled the poison gas. In the final analysis, the person who wanted to frame me today, oh, is the culprit who murdered Biyue's child."

"No!" Feng stood up immediately.

Lu Xunye was also dumbfounded. He just wanted to find an excuse for himself to shift the blame for today's ridiculous events.

Why is it that this is so fragrant, there are other lawsuits going on? There are more than one!

At this moment, Lu Jingyu, who had been sitting there without saying anything, suddenly spoke:

"Mother, why are you so excited? Do you know who this incense belongs to?"

Feng said quickly: "I don't know! Jing Yu, I really don't know!"

Lu Jingyu nodded, "Oh, then this is a big deal. Tomorrow I will find someone who can solve cases and investigate it thoroughly. Ah Ye, it's getting late today and we still have things to talk about. You should go first."

"Yes, yes." Lu Xunye didn't dare to stay any longer and left quickly.

Lu Jingyu turned around, glanced at several people with different expressions, and said slowly:

"Okay, now it's time to talk about why my future wife has become my brother's sister-in-law?"
