Chapter 73 Is it possible that the young master is not capable?

Gu Qingning immediately took a few steps back and bowed awkwardly but politely:

"Meet the Third Prince."

This person was none other than Concubine Su’s son, the third prince Qin Xuanye.

This person is extremely cunning and has inherited the true teachings of Concubine Su.

Now looking at him again, his steps are unsteady and his eyes are dark. He is still a hypocritical and lustful person.

The way he looked at Gu Qingning made people feel very uncomfortable, as if he was a beast staring at its prey, very sinister.

When Gu Qingning thought about the Marquis' Mansion, she was eager to send Shen Yanran to be the second wife, which was extremely stupid.

When Qin Xuanye saw Gu Qingning take a few steps back, he took a few steps forward.

Chen Fenfang immediately took half a step forward sensibly, just blocking Gu Qingning and separating Qin Xuanye from her.

Qin Xuanye was very displeased, but he did not rush to show it. Instead, he said in a gentle voice: "This lady is so beautiful, why haven't I seen you before?"

The other party was a prince, and he spoke so politely. If it was any other lady, she would either be flattered or blush.

But Gu Qingning remained calm even under great pressure, let alone a little lecherous prince?

She was able to keep her composure. Chen Fenfang was also a bold and careful person. She spoke up for Gu Qingning:

"In reply to the Third Prince, this is the eldest lady of our Duke's Mansion."

As expected, Qin Xuanye frowned slightly.

He had also taken a fancy to some court ladies before and had forced them to marry. The husbands of the ladies did not dare to say anything and the matter ended up in nothing.

Even my mother doesn't know about these things.

That's why Qin Xuanye was so unscrupulous in flirting with her when he saw her wearing the dress and robe that were customary for ladies of noble birth.

But who could have thought that the beauty in front of him was actually Lu Jingyu’s wife?

His eyes were dim, and besides the pursuit of beauty, they also had some other meanings.

The look in his eyes at this time was no longer just that of a beast, but that of a poisonous snake.

Gu Qingning understood instantly that the Third Prince probably didn't like the Young Master, or even hated him very much.

It is rumored that because His Majesty particularly values ​​Lu Jingyu, the other princes are somewhat repulsive to Lu Jingyu.

How could the princes not be angry if their father liked someone else?

This is probably why someone would want to secretly get rid of Lu Jingyu.

Could it be the third prince?

Gu Qingning's thoughts raced through her mind in an instant. Just as she was about to find a reason to leave without saying another word to the other party, Princess Jiamin walked over quickly.

"Gu Qingning, you made it so hard for me to find you. Didn't you say you would accompany me to appreciate the flowers? Why don't you hurry over!"

Princess Jiamin bowed perfunctorily to Qin Xuanye and looked at Gu Qingning fiercely.

Gu Qingning immediately responded, "Princess, please wait for me. I'll be right there."

When she reached the side of Princess Jiamin and walked side by side with her for a long distance, until she could no longer see the Third Prince, Gu Qingning's smile never relaxed.

Princess Jiamin asked fiercely, "Gu Qingning, what are you laughing at?"

Gu Qingning: "Thank you, Princess, for helping me out."

Princess Jiamin was like a kitten with its fur standing on end. "Gu Qingning, you are so shameless. Who will help you out? I hate you so much!"

Gu Qingning: "Well, it's my honor to be hated by the princess."

Princess Jiamin: "..."

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Princess Jiamin had no other choice but to walk for a while before she whispered, "Stay away from the Third Prince in the future. He is not a good person."

I can’t go into details, after all, he is a prince.

Gu Qingning was very grateful to Princess Jiamin. She nodded and said, "Princess, you are so kind to me. I will remember everything you said."

Princess Jiamin: "..."

Why does this person always talk like this? She is being mean to her, so how can she keep smiling so gently?

Princess Jiamin stamped her feet and turned her face away. "You are so pretty, and you keep smiling at people. Does Lu Jingyu know that you are like this?"

Gu Qingning was stunned. For a moment, she couldn't figure out whether Princess Jiamin was praising her or not.

Gu Qingning: "Princess, Qingning has been in the capital for many years and has no friends around him. Apart from Doctor Wei who saved my life before, you are Qingning's most important friend."

Princess Jiamin was stunned. "How is that possible? You have many cousins ​​in Guangping Marquis's Mansion, and you have also met many sisters of the same age at many banquets."

"But none of them are as hello as the princess."

“…”

The expression on Princess Jiamin's face began to become colorful again.

She should be angry, but why is Gu Qingning so good at talking that he actually said that she is better than others?

How could this make her angry?

Gu Qingning knew that she was wavering and softening, so she continued:

"Princess, I didn't know that the young master was still alive. After all, my cousin married him because she didn't want to be a widow, and I wanted to be one."

"None of this was my intention. Everyone kept saying that I was an orphan of a merchant family. I had no choice."

"Life is like duckweed, you can only go with the flow."

Princess Jiamin knew that what she said was true, but she still felt uncomfortable.

"Then if the young master wants to divorce you, will you be reluctant to leave him?"

"Won't."

"really?"

Gu Qingning looked at Princess Jiamin's sparkling eyes and nodded solemnly:

“You also know that the person who was engaged to the young master before was my cousin Shen Ruoying. The young master and I had no contact before, and we never said a word in private.”

Princess Jiamin nodded. She believed it.

Thinking of Lu Jingyu's usual cold appearance, let alone Gu Qingning, even she hadn't spoken a few words to him.

But suddenly she thought of something, and Princess Jiamin's ears turned red, but she still lowered her voice and asked, "So, did you two consummate your marriage?"

Gu Qingning: "This..."

The other party is a girl who has never left the house, how can she ask such a question?

Princess Jiamin looked at her hesitant expression and immediately said fiercely:

"Gu Qingning, are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, we won't be friends anymore, and I won't help you run the clinic!"

Gu Qingning was a little embarrassed, but finally shook her head.

Princess Jiamin’s eyes widened!

She was very happy, but also very puzzled: "Really? But this shouldn't happen. You are such a bright and beautiful woman, and Lu Jingyu didn't touch you. Could it be that he is not good enough?"

Chen Fenfang, who was standing not far away, said: "..."

Gu Qingning even hurriedly covered Princess Jiamin's mouth, "My little ancestor, this is not easy to say, and I don't know, so don't ask me anymore, okay?"

Seeing Gu Qingning's ears turn red, Princess Jiamin chuckled, "Okay, I won't ask anymore. Seeing you so shy, it's really useless!"

Gu Qingning: "Is the princess still one of the owners of the clinic?"

Princess Jiamin: "Of course!"

Hearing this, Gu Qingning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the flower-viewing banquet came to an end. Just as Princess Jiamin was about to leave, Gu Qingning also said goodbye in due time.

Concubine Su smiled and said, "Qing Ning, please don't leave yet. I feel like we are old friends from the moment we met. Please stay here tonight."

The third prince Qin Xuanye, who was standing next to Concubine Su, had a half-smile on his face.

Gu Qingning frowned, and Princess Jiamin, who was standing next to her, was about to refuse on her behalf when she saw a young eunuch in blue clothes quickly walk in.

"Your Highness, the young master asked if the flower viewing banquet was over. He wants to take his wife back home."

Concubine Su: “…”

Princess Jiamin suddenly turned her head and looked at Gu Qingning!
