Chapter 96 No one is allowed to touch the Madam!

Just when Gu Qingning thought that Lu Jingyu was going to kiss her again, he suddenly took half a step back.

"It's getting late, let's go home early."

"……good."

Before leaving, Lu Jingyu spoke to Su Yue alone, while Gu Qingning went to visit Chen Ya.

Chen Ya's condition was getting better day by day. She even told Gu Qingning about her revenge with great joy.

When Chen Ya left after visiting her, Wei Shuhe asked worriedly, "Qing Ning, did Qing Xu cause you any trouble?"

Gu Qingning shook her head. "Young Master is very clear about right and wrong. This matter is not my fault. It's all Lu Hangzhi's misunderstanding that made him gossip and said that Qing Xu had other intentions towards me."

Wei Shuhe hesitated to speak, "Qingning, actually..."

Gu Qingning: "Shu He, you know what's most important to me right now. Love affairs are not something I consider. So, it must be Lu Hangzhi's misunderstanding, do you understand?"

Although it was not stated, it was a silent rejection.

Wei Shuhe nodded, "Yeah."

Gu Qingning is very smart. She has always treated Wei Qingxu as her younger brother. As for his feelings for her, she thought that they would fade as he gets older.

But now that Lu Hangzhi has made it clear, he can no longer pretend.

Qingxu cannot be delayed.

As for her, she is now full of hatred and is someone else's wife. How can she be qualified to consider whether she likes someone?

People who are too calm and rational are always calm inside.

When Gu Qingning left, Wei Qingxu did not show up. I guess Wei Shuhe must have made Gu Qingning's attitude clear to him.

When the carriage drove to the Duke's Mansion, Lu Jingyu spoke first:

"Qing Ning, how old is Doctor Wei this year? Is he married?"

Gu Qingning was stunned. "Why are you asking this? Do you want to find a matchmaker for her?"

Lu Jingyu: "It's not matchmaking, it's just what my uncle wanted to ask."

Gu Qingning: "Is my uncle still not married? I remember he is already 27 or 28 years old!"

Lu Jingyu: "Well, the elders of the Su family have all moved away, and my uncle is left alone to take care of the academy. He was also in poor health before, so his marriage was delayed."

Gu Qingning suddenly realized. She thought Su Yue came today to support Lu Hangzhi.

But unexpectedly, he actually came to see Shu He?

Gu Qingning: "Shu He is not married yet. She is 20 years old now, but she has no intention of getting married for the time being."

Wei Shuhe has traveled all over the world and has only been practicing medicine in the capital for the past two years.

I will not stay in the capital forever. I will practice medicine all over the world and finally return to Medicine Valley.

Lu Jingyu: "It's okay if she doesn't have a marriage for the time being. If you have time later, please help mention it. If she is not interested, I will also let my uncle give up as soon as possible."

Gu Qingning: "Okay."

After the two returned to Songtao Pavilion in the Duke's Mansion, one went to the front yard and the other went to the back yard.

When Lu Jingyu went to the front yard, he called Mo Yu up.

"Mo Yu, from now on, if anyone wants to offend Madam, you can stop them first."

Mo Yu nodded vigorously, "From now on, no one is allowed to touch the Madam!"

Lu Jingyu's mouth twitched, "Not everyone, never mind, just remember the ones except me."

Mo Yu didn't quite understand, but he still nodded silently.

As for that night, when the bed curtains were lowered, a young master's kiss fell along with it.

He whispered in Gu Qingning's ear:

"Listen tonight, will I call your name in my sleep?"

Gu Qingning: "..."

So, he still minded that Lu Hangzhi called her name in his sleep?

**

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is time for the imperial examination.

There was nothing wrong with Feng personally sending her son Lu Hangzhi to take the exam, and Shen Ruoying even found a way to ask Duke Qin to allow her to come out and send Lu Hangzhi to take the exam.

When Gu Qingning knew about this, she smiled faintly.

Banxia was very angry, "It's only been a short time, and you've already let her go? Are you just going to let go of what she did to you, young lady?"

Gu Qingning: "Duke Qin punished Shen Ruoying before, not to vent his anger on me, but because Shen Ruoying actually poisoned Lu Hang."

"As for why they released her now, it's easy to understand, because Shen Yanran is already preparing to enter the palace for the selection."

Banxia was so shocked that her mouth opened wide. "Wasn't Miss Yanran going to marry the Third Prince? Why did she suddenly enter the palace again?"

What could the reason be? It's just the pursuit of power.

The third prince is still under house arrest, and Emperor Minghe's selection of concubines is obviously intended to train a new crown prince.

Although the Guangping Marquis Mansion has begun to decline, the people in this family have always been very ambitious. How could they not seize this opportunity?

As for the third prince, Chen Ya had already ordered people to tamper with his diet.

In time, the third prince will become a completely useless person who cannot be treated as a human being.

Not long after, Shen Ruoying came back from outside with Feng.

Shen Ruoying has always been smart and good at pleasing others. She said auspicious words:

"Mother, don't worry. Hangzhi is so smart, he will definitely pass the imperial examination! When Hangzhi becomes the top scorer, my sister will successfully enter the palace and become the empress. Then we will have double happiness."

Although Feng still had some dissatisfaction with Shen Ruoying, she also planned to find a new wife for her son.

But after hearing the second half of her words, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If Chen Yanran could really enter the palace, be favored, and give birth to a prince by chance...

Even if the Guangping Marquis' Mansion is fully revived, it will be worthy of their Duke's Mansion.

The most important thing is, seeing Hangzhi's appearance today, he still cares about Shen Ruoying very much.

Knowing that Feng was wavering, Shen Ruoying struck while the iron was hot:

"Mother, can I go to the ancestral temple these days to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for Hangzhi to pass the high school entrance exam?"

"Wait until his exam is over, and then I'll go back to the room and continue the confinement, okay?"

These words touched Feng's heart.

Now that Lu Jingyu has returned alive, Hangzhi has no hope of inheriting the title. If he wants to have a promising future, he has no choice but to take the imperial examination.

Feng patted Shen Ruoying's hand and said, "You are thoughtful. Okay, since you know you were wrong before, I will exempt you from the house arrest for now and let you pray for Hangzhi. As for whether you should continue the house arrest in the future, wait until Hangzhi finishes the exam!"

He said he was waiting for Lu Hangzhi to finish his exams, but in fact, he was also waiting for the results of the talent show.

Shen Ruoying's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she nodded obediently, "Well, I will listen to my mother. As for my father..."

"I'll go talk to you over there."

"Thank you, mother!"

As expected, Duke Qin agreed.

After Shen Ruoying regained her freedom, the first people to become anxious were the two concubines in Cuiwei Pavilion.

Especially Biyue.

Biyue wanted to find Linlang to discuss how to deal with Shen Ruoying, but she came up empty-handed.

Because Linlang brought her maid to Songtao Pavilion and asked to see Gu Qingning.

In the flower hall, Linlang bit her lip lightly, "Madam Eldest Young Master, did you know that the Duke has exempted Madam Second Young Master from house arrest?"

Gu Qingning: “Yeah.”

Gu Qingning was not surprised by this. Chen Ruoying was not a person who would accept her fate. She had high aspirations and was extremely ambitious.

In addition, now that her younger sister Shen Yanran is about to enter the palace, Shen Ruoying and Guangping Marquis Mansion must be shaking again.

It was expected that Duke Qin and Mrs. Feng would make concessions.

But the next moment, Linlang suddenly knelt in front of Gu Qingning:

"Madam, please give me and my unborn child a chance to live."
