Chapter 88 The young master doesn’t believe her?

Gu Qingning was startled and almost dropped the medicine bowl in her hand.

"Why should I drink contraceptive soup?"

She also wants to have a child to support herself. Besides, that thing is so harmful to the body!

Lu Jingyu's handsome brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes were sharp, and there was an indescribable sense of depression.

"On the second day of sex, take the medicine. Madam, don't you want to have my offspring?"

Gu Qingning: "..."

She lowered her eyes and looked at the medicine bowl in her hand. There was only a small amount left.

At first glance, things like decoctions all have the same color and taste the same, so it's understandable that ordinary people can't tell them apart.

Plus, they had indeed slept together last night...

Gu Qingning: "Young Master, this is not a contraceptive soup. I have been too busy recently and my Qi and blood are insufficient, so I made a blood and Qi tonic soup for myself."

Lu Jingyu: "Really?"

Gu Qingning: "..."

Gu Qingning didn’t quite understand Lu Jingyu.

I clearly went to the Third Prince's Mansion last night to check on the Third Prince's wife. Even for such a big matter, Lu Jingyu trusted me so much.

How come he didn't believe me just because of a bowl of medicine?

Lu Jingyu didn't dwell on it any longer. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's eat first, or the food will get cold."

Gu Qingning nodded.

Gu Qingning didn’t think much about it. After her meal, she went to take care of things at home.

She first called all the managers to her side.

"As everyone knows, my parents trust me and have temporarily let me run the family. For the time being, everyone should perform their duties and not make any changes."

"However, if I find out that anyone of you is lazy or has made a serious mistake, I will probably promote someone from among your deputies to replace you."

"But I still don't want that to happen, and I hope everyone can continue to do their jobs well."

After Gu Qingning finished speaking with a smile, she let everyone go.

Banxia asked curiously, "Master, if this happens, won't the deputies in charge keep an eye on the manager every day? Are you going to cause disputes among them?"

Gu Qingning: "They are all Feng's confidants, so they must be replaced, but the replacement must be done in a proper way."

There are some managers who are usually domineering and unpopular.

Plus the people she had buried before.

By combining the two, Feng's confidants can be replaced in a short period of time!

Feng was not very old, and she was still the Duke of Qin's bedmate.

Maybe one day, Duke Qin will soften his heart and let Feng take back the housekeeper's power.

But since the things had already fallen into Gu Qingning’s hands, she didn’t want to return them.

Banxia said, "Master, Aunt Yue from Cuiwei Pavilion is here."

Gu Qingning: "Let her in."

After a while, Bi Yue, dressed in a light green silk dress, walked in. Not only were her clothes plain, but even her hair accessories were simple.

Come to think of it, now that Lu Hangzhi is not at home, if Bi Yue still dresses up extravagantly, that would be a problem.

After all, Gu Qingning is the housekeeper now, and Biyue is still very honest and well-behaved in front of her.

She bowed and said, "Madam Eldest Young Master, Madam Second Young Master has been making a fuss and wants to see you. I have no choice but to do it. Second Young Master is not here, so I came to see you."

Gu Qingning: "Okay, I'll go take a look."

Biyue was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Gu Qingning would agree so readily?

In fact, when Gu Qingning came to Shen Ruoying, Shen Ruoying was also stunned for a moment.

She also didn't expect that Gu Qingning, who had now gained the power to manage the family and had married the young master, would be willing to come and see her?

Looking at the other party's surprised expression, Gu Qingning sat on the armchair brought by the servants.

She asked gently, "Cousin, you asked someone to call me here, what's the matter?"

Shen Ruoying's expression was murky and unclear, "You came here so happily, do you want to see me make a fool of myself?"

Gu Qingning: "You asked me to come, and now that I'm here you say this. If that's the case, then I'll leave. I'm pretty busy anyway."

Seeing that she was really leaving, Shen Ruoying immediately said, “Wait a minute, Qing Ning!”

Gu Qingning stopped and looked back at her.

Shen Ruoying bit the corner of her lips lightly, “Qing Ning, I was wrong about what happened before, can you forgive me?”

Gu Qingning: "Father and mother have already grounded you and punished you, so I won't dwell on this matter anymore."

Shen Ruoying looked relieved, and she said in a low voice: "I was insane before, I'm sorry, we sisters should get along well in the future, and I will help you manage the household well."

Shen Ruoying deliberately acted humble, but how could Gu Qingning not know what she was planning?

He just wanted to relax her vigilance temporarily and wait for the Guangping Marquis' Mansion to gain power and then take away her power as the head of the family.

But Gu Qingning saw through it but didn't say anything. She looked puzzled after hearing it, looked around, and lowered her voice and said:

"Ruoying, don't you know? Mother said that after the Second Young Master passes the imperial examination, she will let him divorce his wife and remarry!"

Seeing Shen Ruoying's expression change instantly, Gu Qingning quickly covered her mouth:

"Ah, you don't know about this yet? Never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Looking at Shen Ruoying's ashen face, her body was shaking with anger.

Because she had never thought that Lu Hangzhi actually planned to divorce her and marry someone else!

Gu Qingning: "Forget it, you are in a bad mood now, I will come next time."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked out.

Before she walked far, she heard Aunt Li persuading Shen Ruoying, “Miss, don’t be angry, your health is important!”

Shen Ruoying said angrily: “You have also heard about this, right?”

Aunt Li: "Madam did say so, but the Second Young Master hasn't agreed yet..."

The two people's voices became smaller and smaller.

After leaving Cuiwei Pavilion, Banxia asked in confusion: "Master, you don't have to come here specially today. I don't think the Second Young Master's wife really wants to apologize to you."

Gu Qingning: "Apology is not important, I won't forgive her anyway. As for today's trip, it's to give Shen Ruoying a fire, so that Guangping Marquis Mansion can be anxious."

In less than a month, Lu Hangzhi will take the imperial examination.

There is not much time left for Shen Ruoying.

Gu Qingning guessed correctly. That afternoon, Aunt Li returned to Marquis Guangping's Mansion again.

But Chen Yanran wanted to marry the third prince as his second wife. The Marquis's Mansion was passive in this matter. How could Marquis Guangping dare to urge the third prince?

He directly scolded Aunt Li.

After Aunt Li returned to the Duke's Mansion, she passed the message to Shen Ruoying, which really made Shen Ruoying very angry and she smashed a lot of things.

Soon, the spies reported all these things to Gu Qingning.

"Being angry can really harm your health, especially since she had a miscarriage and her body hasn't recovered yet."

Gu Qingning will never forgive the person who tried to plot against her in the past.

Some counterattacks are actually subtle and silent.

By the time Shen Ruoying finally realized what was happening, her body had already been ruined by herself.

Gu Qingning, who had been busy all day, had just returned to the dormitory after taking a shower and changing clothes. When she looked up, she saw Lu Jingyu walking in.

She was stunned.

Did he plan to sleep in the backyard for three consecutive nights?
