Chapter 70 Love and hate her?

Chen Fenfang: "Why would the young master want to divorce such a good wife? Don't listen to the nonsense of the second young master's wife. She just feels bad and says this on purpose to provoke our wife!"

Banxia: "But it is a fact that Madam and Young Master have not consummated their marriage!"

Chen Fenfang was stunned, thought for a moment and said, "Leave this to me. I'll talk to the young master about it someday!"

Although she was a servant, she was at least the young master's confidant and had taken care of him since he was young.

Just take advantage of your seniority for once!

Seeing Chen Fenfang's confident look, Banxia burst into laughter and felt relieved.

When Gu Qingning called for tea, Banxia boiled a pot of hot tea and brought it to her.

The little girl said cheerfully, "Master, Aunt Chen agreed and said she would go and persuade the young master to consummate your marriage as soon as possible! So, don't be sad!"

Gu Qingning was speechless.

"When have I ever been sad because I didn't consummate my marriage with the young master?"

"After the Second Young Master's wife said that, you were unhappy all the way until you came back?"

Looking at Banxia's self-conscious expression, Gu Qingning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She immediately said, "Go and call Aunt Chen back, don't make this mistake. The young master is very busy every day, don't let him be upset because of such a small matter."

Banxia responded and went out obediently to call for help.

But she came back soon, with a guilty look on her face, and whispered, "Master, Aunt Chen is in the study now, talking to the young master. I didn't dare to go in."

Gu Qingning: "..."

At this time, Chen Fenfang was indeed reporting recent events to Lu Jingyu, and then she talked about Gu Qingning's matter.

She said indignantly: "Master, I just heard from Banxia that Madam was bullied when she went to the Marquis' Mansion!"

There was a cold light in Lu Jingyu's eyes, "They don't plan to let Shen Ruoying come back."

Chen Fenfang: "That's right, the Second Young Master's wife is so arrogant. She also said that you didn't consummate your marriage with the wife because you dislike her and will definitely divorce her in the future!"

After she finished speaking, she carefully looked at her master's expression and asked, "Master, your wife is so good, you won't divorce her, right?"

Lu Jingyu rubbed his brows helplessly, "When did I say I wanted to divorce her? As for why we didn't consummate the marriage... it was because Qingning had her period."

At the end of his speech, Lu Jingyu's ears turned slightly red.

If the person in front of him was not Aunt Chen, who had watched him grow up, he would not have said this.

Chen Fenfang was stunned for a moment, and then her face showed that kind expression that I understand.

"Yes, Madam has her period. Oh, I forgot about it. I didn't expect that little girl Banxia also forgot about it!"

"Madam caught a cold recently and was also tired. This time her menstrual period is a bit long and sparse."

"However, according to the time, Madam's menstruation should end tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Lu Jingyu coughed lightly, "I still need to look at the official documents. Is there anything else, aunt?"

"No more, no more, young master, please continue to be busy!"

Chen Fenfang left with a kind smile on her face.

Lu Jingyu tapped the rice paper on the table with his slender fingers.

Will it end tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?

At this moment, there was a knock on the study door. The secret guard Zhufeng pushed the door open and came in, kneeling on the ground and said:

"Master, there is news from the palace that Princess Jin'an has fallen seriously ill, and then went to complain to His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine. Tomorrow the Imperial Concubine will send a letter to the Duke's Mansion, asking Madam to enter the palace."

Lu Jingyu's eyes turned cold for a moment, "It seems that the imperial concubine wants to vent her anger on Jin An?"

Zhu Feng: "It is said that Concubine Su also sent someone to give Princess Jiamin a letter."

Lu Jingyu looked over in confusion.

Zhu Feng had no choice but to remind him, "Master, have you forgotten that Princess Jiamin has always been fond of you? Later, she thought you were killed in battle, and because of the marriage exchange, she sympathized with Madam and wanted to protect Madam's clinic."

"But now that you're back alive..."

As for the rest, you can savor it carefully.

As expected, Lu Jingyu frowned. The situation with Concubine Su and Princess Jin'an was already very tricky.

It would be even more troublesome if there was another Princess Jiamin.

Lu Jingyu: "What does your majesty say?"

Zhu Feng: "His Majesty said that he knew about Princess Jin An's incident, and that it was her own fault because she was too ignorant. He will have the secret guards keep an eye on her and will not let her get into danger, but he can't help with verbal bullying."

Lu Jingyu had no way to deal with the verbal pressure.

He couldn't go to the harem and confront the concubines.

Otherwise, let Qing Ning pretend to be sick and not go to this "Hongmen Banquet".

The next day, Gu Qingning indeed received an invitation from the palace, which was a hairpin banquet hosted by Concubine Su.

Gu Qingning guessed the other party's plan almost instantly.

She was about to speak when Lu Jingyu, who was sitting next to her, put down the spoon in his hand and said, "Why don't you just say you're sick and not go?"

Gu Qingning: "Why? Princess Jin'an went to complain to His Majesty?"

Lu Jingyu: "She did file a complaint, but I have already informed His Majesty of the incident in advance, and His Majesty will not punish us. But Concubine Su's hairpin banquet is a Hongmen Banquet. By the way, she also invited Princess Jiamin."

Gu Qingning was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Noble Concubine Su is really good at this. She is planning a drama to break up the sisterhood."

Lu Jingyu: "You and Princess Jiamin are sisters?"

Gu Qingning nodded, "It was true before, we have similar personalities. However, since you were resurrected, it may not be the case anymore."

That proud little peacock might now have a love-hate relationship with her?

Lu Jingyu frowned, "That's why I said you shouldn't go to this Hongmen Banquet."

Gu Qingning: "Young Master, are you worried about me?"

Lu Jingyu nodded seriously, "Although they dare not attack you directly, they will say some unpleasant words to humiliate you. I, I can't hit the concubines and princesses."

Gu Qingning knew that Lu Jingyu had his own principles and he would not hit women.

For example, last time in the clinic, Princess Jinan acted so excessively, but Lu Jingyu only kicked the eunuchs around her and didn't touch a single hair on her.

It’s not that Lu Jingyu is afraid of the royal princess, but he thinks he is a military general and cannot fight an unarmed woman.

Gu Qingning smiled gently, "Young Master, men have their own battlefields, and women also have their own battlefields without the smoke of gunpowder. Don't underestimate your wife. I can do it, really."

In the palace, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Qingning believed that the other party would not dare to attack her directly.

As for the verbal bullying, sarcasm, and insults... she had heard too many of these words in the Guangping Marquis Mansion since she was a child.

I've already been immune to it.

Lu Jingyu also remembered her experience in Guangping Marquis Mansion and finally nodded.

"Well, I will go to the palace today to discuss some government affairs with Your Majesty. If there is anything, please let the secret guards notify me."

"Um."

After resting for a while, the couple went out together and prepared to enter the palace.

But just in time, he ran into Lu Hangzhi at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, who had just brought back Miss Linlang from Yixiang Tower.
